Chapter 492 Celestial Dragon? Dragon-Slaying Person
One of the Tree Island Commercial Street in Sabaody Archipelago.
On Commercial Street, people come and go, bustling and noisy, as if the loud Rumbling Sound and tremor that had just come from the Distant had not affected these People at all.
Bonney, who had returned to her adult Form, followed Nicholas closely.
Causing Katie on the side to be somewhat dissatisfied.
The obviously different Presence of Nicholas and his party was like the most dazzling firefly in the Dark Night, making them exceptionally conspicuous in the crowd.
So much so that many passing pedestrians couldn't help but turn their Heads to take a few more glances at them.
Nicholas and the others did not pay any attention to these People's Gaze.
On the contrary, Bonney, who was following beside them, constantly scanned her Eyes around vigilantly.
Obviously, she was worried that pedestrians around her would suddenly pull out a Weapon and attack them, after all, this kind of disguise was the most common Means used by the Hyena under the World Government.
"Hey, Bonney."
Nicholas suddenly spoke.
"Ah?"
Hearing Nicholas suddenly call out her name, Bonney, who was staring intently at a Cotton Candy vendor, looked at Nicholas with some doubt.
"Speaking of which, what is your relationship with Bear? Why do I Feel that your attitude towards him and his attitude towards you seem a little different?"
Nicholas asked with a gossipy Face.
When Bonney heard Nicholas ask about her relationship with Bear, she panicked a little, her mouth full of Words like, "We are just Friends, we have known each other for a long Time, it's not what you think..."
"Yohohoho, speaking of which, Mr. Bear is really charming..."
Brook looked at the incoherent Bonney and revealed an Eyes that understood everything.
"Hmm?"
Just then, a commotion suddenly came from the Distant. Nicholas and the others subconsciously looked in the direction of the Sound.
They saw a Giant White Bear slowly appearing on the Street in the Distant. Surrounded by many Guards, it was walking unscrupulously in the center of the Street. On the back of the Giant Bear, there was also a Celestial Dragon who looked only seven or eight years old and wore a Transparent Bubble Helmet on his Head.
Both sides of the Street.
Almost as soon as this team appeared, everyone without exception lowered their Heads and knelt on the ground, so that those Celestial Dragons and their Claws and Fangs could not see their expressions, waiting for the Celestial Dragons to pass by and leave.
Some People with a certain Strength themselves had expressions of disdain on their lowered Heads.
For them, what they feared was not the Celestial Dragon in front of them, but the huge group and Power represented by the Celestial Dragon behind them.
However, those Ordinary People kneeling on the ground were unable to remain calm in the face of the white Terror created by the Celestial Dragons and their Claws and Fangs.
They were all trembling, panicking.
Fearing that in the next moment, they might incur the displeasure of the Celestial Dragons and be dealt with by the other party for any Reason.
Among the kneeling crowd, there were also many children who were about the same age as that Celestial Dragon.
However, although the ages of the two were similar, their Mentality at this moment was completely different.
The little Celestial Dragon on the back of the White Bear was full of contempt for those Commoner kneeling below. For him, the education he had received since childhood made him believe that those People were born Inferior People, and any contact with them, even breathing the same Air under the same sky, was an offense.
The children kneeling on the ground were filled with Fear. The brutal and tyrannical Impression of Celestial Dragons they had heard from their Parents, and their Parents, whom they regarded as omnipotent, were now like the most timid ostriches in front of the Celestial Dragons, burying their Heads and trying to hide.
This was undoubtedly fatal to the Inner Thoughts of many children.
When the Giant Bear passed by a little girl, the little girl, who was kneeling with her Parents' Hands pressed firmly on her back, was thinking about the Honey Cotton Candy she had just bought in her Hand. You know, she hadn't even tasted it yet, when would these terrible Celestial Dragons leave?
Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly Feel a wave of hot air with a fishy smell coming towards her Face.
When she raised her Head, what she saw was indeed a huge Bear Head and a Gaping Maw. Suddenly facing this terrifying Scene, even an adult would probably find it difficult to Endure the Fear that arose from the Inner Thoughts, let alone a little girl.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The little girl was immediately frightened and screamed.
The little girl's intense Reaction startled the White Bear, and it even jumped back abruptly.
It was this Action of the Giant Bear that startled the little Celestial Dragon on the Bear's back.
Seeing the frightened Celestial Dragon, the Celestial Dragon's Retainer responsible for guarding and the World Government Staff who were cooperating all looked fiercely at the little girl who was crying in her Woman's arms.
The Guards even pointed the Weapons in their Hands at the Pale couple and the wailing little girl at the first Time.
"I'm, I'm sorry, the child is ignorant... Can, can the honorable Lord forgive her..."
Despite being shrouded in Fear, the instinct of being a father still gave him the Courage to beg for mercy from the Celestial Dragon high above.
The Celestial Dragon's servant looked at the little girl's father with the Eyes of Ants and said coldly: "Commoner, who do you think you are? How can you directly look at the great Divine Child?"
"I'm, I'm sor..."
Realizing that the other party's Tone was a bit wrong, the father quickly apologized repeatedly.
Before he could finish apologizing, he heard the Celestial Dragon who had been silent speak.
"Noisy."
As his Words fell, the White Bear sitting down opened its Gaping Maw and bit towards the family of three.
Facing the Giant Bear like a Small Mountain, the Man's Complexion was ashen, while the little girl's mother seemed to be frightened, her Eyes lifeless, she just hugged the little girl tightly in her arms and put her Head in her chest, seemingly not wanting the little girl to see the terrifying Scene.
The Darkness and the uneasy Atmosphere around her made the little girl cry even harder.
Facing the human Tragedy that was about to happen, the People kneeling on both sides of the Street faced the cold Eyes of the Celestial Dragon Guards, not even daring to raise their Heads, let alone stand up.
Bang!
Just as the Giant Bear was about to tear the family of three apart, a sudden Gunshot echoed in the sky above the Street.
Almost at the same Time as everyone heard the Gunshot, the Head of the Small Mountain-like Giant Bear directly bloomed a huge Blood Flower, and then its huge Form directly fell down to the ground.
Looking at the Giant Bear that suddenly fell in front of him, the Man raised his Head slightly, and only when he noticed the warm and wet Feel coming from his Face did he realize that this was not a Dream.
Someone really dared to attack a Celestial Dragon!
Faced with this sudden change, the Celestial Dragon on the Bear's back obviously had not Reaction yet, while the Guards beside him and the World Government Staff almost immediately built a Human Wall around the Celestial Dragon, protecting him firmly.
On both sides of the Street, a small group of People who considered themselves to have some Strength secretly raised their Heads, wanting to see what exactly had happened.
After all, an Attacks on a Celestial Dragon might inadvertently involve them.
The Celestial Dragon who was being protected in the middle also suddenly Reaction, his expression suddenly became extremely ferocious, and the ferocity revealed through his expression was completely unlike what someone of his age could show.
When had he ever encountered such a Thing since he was a child? Which of those Commoner didn't tremble when they saw him?
"Find that Weapon, catch him, I want him to wish he were dead! If you can't catch the other party, then you will be punished in place of that Weapon."
The little Celestial Dragon ordered the Guards beside him to catch the attacker in a chilling Tone.
Hearing the Order, the surrounding Guards immediately rushed towards the direction from which the Gunshot came.
They didn't want to become victims.
But in the blink of an Eyes, these Guards who rushed up were smashed into the surrounding Architecture at an even more terrifying Speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The next second.
Bursts of Rumbling Sound rang out.
"Brook, bring that Weapon over here. Let's use it as my announcement of my return."
Nicholas said lightly.
"Yohohoho, yes, Captain Lord."
Taking off the Top Hat on his Head and saluting in front of his chest, Brook walked towards the Celestial Dragon team who were facing a formidable enemy with elegant Pace.
Both sides of the Street.
A group of People were completely shocked, and then they couldn't care about offending the Celestial Dragons anymore, and they got up and fled to the Distant, after all, attacking Celestial Dragons would attract the World Government and Navy Admiral, and they didn't want to be involved in this huge Vortex.
"That's a Celestial Dragon."
Bonney said blankly, looking at Brook who was holding a Staff Sword and entering a no-man's land.
Obviously
Dare to do this to a Celestial Dragon?
It's just too crazy.
"Celestial Dragon? Just a Dragon-Slaying Person, Captain killed quite a few in Mary Geoise back then."
Simon said nonchalantly, Celestial Dragons, who were feared by everyone on the Grand Line, were really nothing in their Eyes.
"Yohohoho... what a truly pitiful bunch of lives." Brook sighed as he once again cut down the last of the guards who fearlessly charged at him.
Knowing they would die, yet still rushing forward without hesitation, it can only be said that the Celestial Dragons' shackles on their minds are truly too severe. No longer wasting time, Brook directly attacked the Celestial Dragon Kid.
"!!!" Facing Brook, the fear that had already arisen when all the guards died was infinitely amplified. The Celestial Dragon's Claws and Fangs rely on the Celestial Dragon's Name to do whatever they want, but likewise, the Celestial Dragons also rely on these Claws and Fangs to run rampant.
Now that the Claws and Fangs in front of him have all been eliminated, and the other party seems to have no fear of his Celestial Dragon Status, this Celestial Dragon very simply rolled his eyes back and fainted directly. Brook calmly watched the fainted Celestial Dragon.
For him, when he was still the captain of the Kingdom Guard Corps, these Celestial Dragons could be said to be like legendary existences, inspiring fear. But now, after piercing through the majesty that shrouded them, he realized that they are also mortal. Looking down at the Celestial Dragon, Brook directly lifted him up with one hand.
Some people nearby who had not run far or were observing this scene in secret were either shocked or stunned. Someone actually dared to openly attack a Celestial Dragon in the street! A major event is about to happen.
A few minutes later. Nicholas and his group arrived at one of the most prosperous Tree Islands in Shambles. Along the way, the Celestial Dragon casually carried in Urouge's hand attracted countless gazes and caused quite a bit of Riot.
And the World Government and the Navy have now received News of the Celestial Dragon being attacked and kidnapped.
"What, that Nicholas guy actually appeared in Sabaody Archipelago, not only taking away CP0's Mission Target Jewelry Bonney, but also taking away Xiao Guo·Sun Sheng?" Inside the Chamber of Power, after the Five Elders received the report from the CP Department, the Atmosphere could be clearly felt to be somewhat heavy.
For them, neither Jewelry Bonney nor the Celestial Dragon Xiao Guo·Sun Sheng are actually anything significant. What they truly care about is Nicholas's appearance and the location of his appearance, Shambles, which is just a stone's throw away from Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Thinking of the Serious Incident Nicholas had caused in the past, they couldn't help but think of things in the worst possible direction.
"This Era is truly chaotic. The Impel Down bunch hasn't been dealt with yet, the guy who took down Valdo not long ago has been confirmed to be the vanished Roger, and now Nicholas has jumped out again. Adding to that the Revolutionary Army active in Various Locations Worldwide, and the Four Emperors with unclear goals, the Situation is truly unfavorable for us."
"We foresaw the emergence of this Situation long ago, didn't we? After all, Joy Boy is very likely to reappear, and the changes arising around him are enough to change the World."
"However, as long as we get through this hurdle, we will once again usher in a thousand years of Rule."
"What about the Navy? After learning about the Sabaody Archipelago Thing, what kind of response did they make?"
"Navy Headquarters has already dispatched Admiral Kizaru to Shambles Archipelago. After all, Akainu and Aokiji are currently pursuing Kaido and those guys who escaped from Impel Down. Only Kizaru from Navy Headquarters can reach Shambles in time."
"Then it seems that the Navy is temporarily normal for now, and can still be temporarily trusted."
... On a huge Square, Bonney looked at the surrounding Situation with an expression of disbelief.
"You're going to hold a Public Execution in Shambles!? And it's an Execution of a Celestial Dragon?" Bonney's voice even trembled because of her excessive surprise. Although she knew Nicholas's style of doing Things was very strange, she didn't expect it to be strange to this Degree.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Could it be that you pity this Kid?" Nicholas asked Bonney curiously while directing Simon to set up the Live Broadcast Den Den Mushi.
After all, Holy Mothers are never lacking in the multiverse. Even in worlds full of Evil People, there will be Holy Mothers. It seems that the concept of 'Holy Mother' has been absorbed by the multiverse.
Hearing Nicholas's Words, Bonney quickly waved her hand. What a joke, would she have the slightest Pity for a Celestial Dragon? Although there might be one or two exceptions among these guys, most of them are Weapons full of anti-Human Personality, just like the Kid in front of her. Don't look at his young age, but the number of People who have died at his hands is already unknown.
"Of course not, it's just that if you do this, won't it attract the World Government and the Navy..." Bonney looked at Nicholas and didn't know what to say for a moment. This guy in front of her seemed to be an extremely dangerous Weapon in the eyes of the World Government and the Navy already. According to the World Government's propaganda, it would be abnormal if this guy didn't destroy an Island or destroy the World for a day.
Urouge glanced at Bonney and continued to build the temporary Execution Platform. As for the captured Celestial Dragon, he had already woken up. From his initial arrogance, along with the passage of Time and the gradually improving Execution Platform, he was now completely dumbfounded.
"Urouge, here you go. Use this Weapon for the Execution later, it will definitely be shocking." At this time, Katie's Figure appeared, dragging a huge Executioner's Axe in her hand. As for the Master of this Weapon, the ending should not be very pleasant.
Urouge looked at the flying Great Axe, a simple and honest Smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand to catch it and even swung it twice, as if he was practicing. This Scene happened to be seen by the Celestial Dragon, and he fainted again.
And the bored Katie sized up Bonney, who was wearing avant-garde clothes, had a sexy figure, and Long Hair.
"Is your Devil Fruit Ability very unique?"
"Ah?" Bonney was slightly surprised, not expecting this aloof Female Swordsman to actually take the initiative to talk to her.
"My Ability is to change a Person's Body State. For example, it can make People return to childhood, or make People enter old age. In short, it can make a Person's Body State enter a certain stage."
"This Ability sounds pretty good. If used well, wouldn't it be possible to make some Feeble People regain their youth? You're a mobile Youth Buff, no wonder those guys want to Control you." Brook also chimed in.
"Ah, right, yes. So, how is it? Have you considered it? Just tell me whether you are willing to make this Transaction or not. If you are not willing, then forget it. Anyway, I don't have a Pops who is about to die at any Time." Nicholas said indifferently to the Den Den Mushi.
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Marco, who was in Wano Country, had an uncertain Complexion.
It must be said that Nicholas's Words did indeed make him quite tempted. Looking at the Strongest of the same Era, Pops's Body State is currently the worst. And Nicholas is right, Pops's Body is now basically insufficient to support him in high-intensity Battles.
But now Nicholas has placed an Opportunity in front of him. Although Pops might not agree with him doing this, Marco must consider whether this is the only Opportunity he will have in his Life.
"Okay, I agree."
As for whether Nicholas would deceive him, Marco was not worried at all. In fact, Nicholas's long-term style of doing Things is a Signboard of trust.
"Then, happy Cooperation. Oh right, remember to watch the Execution Live Broadcast later. A Celestial Dragon's Execution Live Broadcast, the next time will probably be the next Time." Nicholas said to Marco before hanging up the Phone Call.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 494: Kizaru, I Should Cooperate with Your Performance
"Captain, the Execution Platform is already set up."
Urouge came before Nicholas and said respectfully, his large face full of eagerness. After all, being able to personally execute a Celestial Dragon was simply exciting for him.
"Captain, the Live Broadcast Den Den Mushi is also set up and can be activated at any time."
Simon also spoke.
Clearly, he was also somewhat excited about this Execution of a Celestial Dragon.
"Oh, are you all ready? Then let's begin."
Having said that, Nicholas stepped towards the Execution Platform, followed by Brook, Simon, Katie, Urouge, and others behind him.
As the group moved, the people who had originally fled due to the chaos caused by Nicholas and the others slowly gathered again. After all, watching the Excitement is human nature, and it seemed that the other party intended to execute a Celestial Dragon. Although at this time and in this Place, they might be accidentally injured by the World Government and Navy later.
However, they didn't want to easily give up this once-in-a-lifetime Performance of executing a Celestial Dragon.
Almost at the same time, in squares in Various Locations Worldwide, Live Broadcast Den Den Mushi began projecting the Situation in Shambles onto huge screens.
Many people who were originally on the Street, either hurrying or leisurely, all stopped in their tracks.
Curiously observing the Scene appearing on the Screen.
"Ahem, hello everyone."
Just when everyone was wondering what exactly was happening, Nicholas's face directly filled the big Screen.
Then, before everyone could react, he turned the Den Den Mushi in his hand, and the Figure of a Celestial Dragon, bound and kneeling on the Ground, entered everyone's Line of Sight.
"Is that a Celestial Dragon?"
"Are you kidding me? How could that be a Celestial Dragon? It must be that those guys found someone to impersonate one. After all, who doesn't know that harming a Celestial Dragon will result in a Terror Blow from the World Government and Navy.
Moreover, that guy actually made the impersonated Celestial Dragon kneel in front of the Camera Lens. Even if it's an impersonation, they're finished."
"I'm just saying, is it possible that it's real? After all, Anything can happen on this Grand Line."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could the high and mighty Celestial Dragons Lord kneel? Those heretics will definitely get Judgement!"
"If only it were true."
It can be said that everyone who saw this Scene had all sorts of Thoughts flashing through their Inner Thoughts.
"As you can all see, today's Live Broadcast brings you the project of executing a Celestial Dragon!"
As Nicholas's Words fell, Urouge directly held up a Great Axe, and with a swing of his Axe, directly chopped off the Head of the Celestial Dragon Xiao Guo·Sun Sheng. Watching the Head roll in front of the Camera Lens and finally look at the Camera Lens, everyone at the scene or watching the Live Broadcast was completely silent.
The News of a Celestial Dragon being Public Execution was constantly bombarding their Brain.
Beep beep...!
Almost at the instant the Celestial Dragon's Head landed on the Ground, a dazzling yellow Radiance flashed in the Sky in the Distant.
It was Kizaru's Attack.
Although he was one step late, or rather, he shouldn't have bought that Hot Dog on the way here.
But after all, a Celestial Dragon was dead, which counted as his Mission failure. As an Admiral of Marine Headquarters, how could Kizaru let Nicholas and these Murderer who killed the Celestial Dragon get away with it?
Most importantly, he had already derelicted his duty. If he didn't act against this Villain Nicholas and it was known by the World Government and those Celestial Dragons guys, would he still be an Admiral?
The dazzling Radiance flashing non-stop in the Sky was Light Bullets composed of Energy Composition.
In an instant, countless Light Bullets, like Heavy Rain, rained down on the Execution Platform from above.
"Yo, that's really your way of Greeting, Borsalino."
Red Light flashed in Nicholas's Eyes, then he raised his Finger and pointed in the direction the Light Bullets were flying from.
A Lightning bolt as thick as a Finger shot out from his fingertip.
But in the next instant, this Lightning quickly dispersed in the Sky, turning into brilliant Lightning Threads that flew towards the Light Bullets falling rapidly towards the Ground, directly annihilating them all.
"Kowai ne~, that's really dangerous."
On a Architecture not far from the Execution Platform, beams of Light condensed into Kizaru's Figure.
Kizaru's Gaze towards Nicholas could be said to be quite serious.
His large-scale Light Bullet Attack almost had the Destructive Power to destroy a national-level Army in an instant, and because of the Terror quantity of his Attacks, it was also quite difficult to Defense. This was one of the reasons for the Glint-Glint Fruit's Strength.
However, even this kind of covering Attack, even in a one-on-one duel between Top Expert, relying on its Terror penetrating characteristics, even the Strongest would be Severely Wounded if they were careless.
Although he knew that this kind of Attack couldn't Damage Nicholas, he didn't expect Nicholas to resolve it so easily.
However, he also knew that now was not the time to consider this Thing.
Standing on the Rooftop, Kizaru slowly pulled his hands apart in front of him, and a Light Sword formed by Light Particle appeared in his hand. Kizaru held the Ama-no-Murakumo that instantly materialized in his hand, then moved suddenly, his whole Person turning into a beam of Light, directly Thrusting towards Nicholas on the Execution Platform.
Kizaru's Attack this time was both fast and fierce.
But Nicholas didn't make any Action, as if he hadn't Reaction.
Along with the sound of metal clashing, three Swords parried Kizaru's Ama-no-Murakumo.
Katie and Brook's Figures appeared in front of Nicholas at the same time, blocking Kizaru's Attack.
Looking at Nicholas, who was only ten centimeters away from the Ama-no-Murakumo, with a Smile on his Face, the Corner of Mouth of Kizaru couldn't help but twitch.
As expected, he shouldn't have accepted this kind of thankless Mission.
Almost at the same time, as a violent Air Wave Burst between the Light Sword, Staff Sword, and Long Sword, countless tiny Light spots burst out from Kizaru's Body.
Tiny Light spots once again constructed Kizaru's Figure.
Kizaru stood in the Sky.
Katie glanced at Brook, then stepped forward.
Facing Brook, who was sheathing his Staff Sword, Kizaru squinted his Eyes and looked at Katie, who was holding the Sakura Ten Kogarashi Dual Swords with a blank Face.
Is she planning to stop him alone?
Kizaru gripped the Ama-no-Murakumo and rushed towards Katie at Light Speed.
The dazzling Radiance that came with it instantly filled Katie's Line of Sight.
The brightness at such close Distance was enough to briefly blind People.
But in front of a Top Swordsman, this kind of Light was not enough to make them lose sight of their Target. And with the assistance of Observation Haki, it was even more impossible to lose sight of their Target.
Armament Haki quickly wrapped around the Blade of the Sakura Ten Kogarashi.
Then directly met Kizaru's Ama-no-Murakumo with the momentum of Thunder.
Clang!
Following a sound of metal clashing, the Swords in both hands showed everyone watching the Live Broadcast what was called a Gale and Rainstorm-like Attack intensity.
Between the two, only the continuous sound of metal clashing and the splashing Spark could be heard. As for the Trajectory of the Attacks of the Weapons in their hands, without a certain level of Observation Haki, it was impossible to see at all.
"What a scary little girl."
As the two separated again after exchanging blows, Kizaru said with emotion as he looked at Katie.
It can be said that Nicholas is surrounded by Talents. Any one of them showed Strength that was not at all inferior to the Top Great Swordsman on the Grand Line.
Kizaru glanced at Nicholas, and both of them showed a Smile at the Corner of Mouth.
This was also the Tacit Agreement between the two sides. Otherwise, facing Nicholas's lineup, he wouldn't be willing to come.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 495: Trying Hard to Perform
Above the Sabaody Archipelago.
As Nicholas left, the island fell into chaos.
Kizaru stood beside the Execution Platform, his ears filled with incessant noise. Because of the Celestial Dragons' death, a large number of people were fleeing the Sabaody Archipelago.
He looked up at the direction Nicholas and the others had left.
"He's gotten stronger again..."
He muttered to himself.
"However, bigger trouble is coming."
At this moment, Vice Admiral Tsuru's voice came from Kizaru's side.
Kizaru also withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Tsuru, who was gradually approaching. "Has the World Government side already started to question responsibility?"
"Questioning responsibility is unlikely. After all, at this critical time, they don't want to completely fall out with the Marine, and moreover, they also understand how terrifying Nicholas's strength is." Tsuru turned her head to look at the towering Red Line that reached into the clouds and slowly said. It could be said that the World Government's current attitude was within her and Sengoku's expectations.
Hearing Vice Admiral Tsuru's words, Kizaru also stroked his chin with one hand, and looked at the World Government personnel who were collecting the Celestial Dragons' remains with a playful gaze.
"Admiral Kizaru, it's a phone call from Fleet Admiral Sengoku." At this moment, a Navy Vice Admiral came to Kizaru's side with a Den Den Mushi and said.
Looking at Vice Admiral Tsuru's expression beside him, Kizaru knew that he couldn't avoid being scolded today, after all, his mission had failed.
Moreover, this was also a kind of disguised protection from Sengoku. After all, he had already scolded his own man. What else could the World Government want? It was just the death of a Celestial Dragon, a trivial matter.
Kizaru sighed inwardly, and then answered the Den Den Mushi.
As he expected, as soon as the phone call connected, Sengoku's reprimand came through.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, I know I was wrong, next time..." Kizaru was very calm about Sengoku's reprimand.
That infuriating expression made the complexions of many World Government officials responsible for the aftermath turn ugly.
The next day. The news about the Public Execution of Celestial Dragons in Shambles drove all the News Media in the World crazy.
For them, this news was simply the Sales Password.
Thus, with the News Media's fueling of the flames, people who hadn't watched the Live Broadcast also learned about what happened in Shambles. In less than half a day, the news about the Public Execution of Celestial Dragons spread throughout the Whole world.
…
"Ace, can you stop fooling around..." On a Sea Surface in the New World, Deuce's somewhat annoyed voice came.
"Deuce, I'm not being willful. I have a reason I have to go!" Ace said seriously.
"That guy is Kaido of the Beasts. Do you think you're his Opponent if you go to settle accounts with him with your Strength?!" Deuce stared straight into Ace's eyes and said seriously.
The Crew member around them watched the Two people, and none of them intended to speak.
And Ace suddenly laughed. "Deuce, take everyone to our next Island first. After I resolve the Thing, I'll come find you."
"You, are you telling us to abandon the Captain and escape first?" "That's right, Ace, you shouldn't say that." "What do you take us for? Do you think we are cowards who fear Death?" At this time, the others on the Deck also spoke up one after another.
Just then... Boom! A Figure descended from the sky and crashed heavily onto the Deck.
"I just heard, you're going to settle accounts with Kaido, hehe... Young man, are you a good fighter?" At this moment, a playful Sound rang out.
The Spade Pirate Crew were all on alert, especially Ace, who clearly felt an extremely domineering and terrifying Aura emanating from the Man who suddenly appeared.
"You are Fire Fist Ace?" Marco looked at the young Man in front of him who was bare-chested, wearing Prayer Beads around his neck, and had some Freckles on his face.
Ace looked at Marco very vigilantly. Obviously, the New World had taught him many Things.
The Members of the Spade Pirate Crew looked at Marco, and their hearts were all shaken. The blue-haired Man at the head was the first to react. This is... Undead... Phoenix Marco!
Deuce immediately roared in panic, "Ace, be careful of that guy! That guy is Marco the Phoenix, First Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates!"
After Deuce's shout, the Crew member's panicked Sounds rang out one after another. With their experiences in the New World, in their hearts, the Four Emperors of the New World were insurmountable Mountain Peaks.
However, Ace's performance was still as usual, without the same unease as his Companion.
For Ace, there was nothing in this World that could make him afraid. The Four Emperors were just people who had set sail earlier than him.
"Phoenix, Marco?" Ace had a confident Smile on his face, and at the same time, the Flame on his Right Hand hissed and burned. Then he swung it violently towards Marco.
Fire Fist! A Giant Flame Burst out from Ace's Fist and quickly expanded into a Giant Fire Fist, rushing towards Marco.
But in the next second, his Smile suddenly froze, and a surprised Look appeared on his Face. He saw Marco walking slowly forward in the Flame. It seemed that the Flame with terrifying High Temperature could not Damage him at all.
"Flame is not Invincible."
"Ace is really reckless. No, I have to stop him." Deuce looked at the Scene in front of him and thought secretly in his heart that the Gap in Strength between the two sides was too great.
"Hahahaha, this kind of Battle is interesting." Ace suddenly laughed, and then his Form burned with Giant Flames, surging towards Marco.
Mirror Flame! The raging Flames rushed towards him.
Marco just stretched out his Palm, and then a powerful Energy surged from his Palm, bringing with it Giant Airflow and Gale.
Boom! The raging Flames, like hitting an invisible Wall, spread out in all directions.
"This Degree of Armament Haki, the Monsters of the New World are indeed endless." Ace said with emotion.
Marco's Voice suddenly reached Ace's ears.
"Since your Attack is over, then it's my turn next." Then, Marco's Figure instantly disappeared from Ace's Line of Sight.
Suddenly disappeared? Ace was surprised. Just as he was about to activate Observation Haki, bang... his whole Person instantly flew up, and at the same time, a sharp pain came from his Belly, as if he had been hit hard by a heavy Giant hammer.
This Speed... too fast!!! The Thought just flashed through Ace's mind, and the next moment his Form was kicked away.
This... is completely not the same Level of Power. The Gap between them is really too great. At this moment, Ace deeply felt the Gap in Strength between the two, and for the first time, a strong Sense of Frustration appeared.
Bang! Ace crashed heavily into the Mast of the Ship. After panting for a moment, he stood up.
"Ace..." The Crew member of the Spade Pirate Crew exclaimed, trying to join the Battle with Marco.
"Don't move." Ace stopped his Subordinates in time. He knew that the Opponent's Strength was not something his Crew member could deal with.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 496 Standing in Line
"Yo~ Borsalino, you're back."
In Sengoku's Marshal Office, Garp sat on the sofa, casually greeting Kizaru who had come to report.
"Garp, be quiet."
After saying that, Sengoku turned his head to look at Kizaru.
"Borsalino, the Sabaody Archipelago incident is considered over. The World Government is very dissatisfied with your actions. Write a report later, as detailed as possible. I'll send someone to the World Government with it later."
Listening to Sengoku's words, Kizaru casually sat down on the sofa in the Office.
"Understood, Mr. Sengoku. Later, I'll have Sentomaru that Kid write a good report and hand it in."
Kizaru took out Nail Clippers and trimmed his nails while speaking nonchalantly.
"Hey, I'm talking about you writing it!?"
Sengoku roared, none of them were making him worry less.
"Yes, yes, yes, I know, I know. Later, I'll have Sentomaru write a few more copies, and you can pick a satisfactory one. Anyway, those guys from the World Government don't care if it's written by me personally."
After speaking, Kizaru turned his head to look at the young man sitting upright and a little restrained beside Garp.
"Mr. Garp? This is…?"
Kizaru originally wanted to say, "This is your Son," but thinking of this Old Man's nasty Personality, and a certain cold-faced man, Kizaru ultimately didn't say it.
"Borsalino, this is my grandson Sabo. He has joined the Navy. You have to take good care of him in the future."
As soon as Garp mentioned this, a Smile immediately appeared on his face. Obviously, Sabo's choice to join the Navy made him very happy, but the only thing he was unhappy about was that the grandson he most wanted to join the Navy was still a bit of a Rebel.
"Oh, is that so? Then I really have to take care of him."
Borsalino nodded. Although his Personality was a bit lazy, he was still very good at getting along with Colleagues. Otherwise, based on his attitude of slacking off, he would have been complained about countless times already.
Just then, the Gate of the Marshal Office was pushed open, and then Director Ten Sei of the Navy Crime Investigation Bureau and Staff Officer Tsuru of the Navy Headquarters walked in.
With the appearance of the two, even Kizaru cast a curious Gaze.
It can be said that in the Navy, not many People are willing to deal with the top leader of this Crime Investigation Bureau. Once you have contact with him, it also means that you are likely to be listed as a suspect by the Navy High-Level.
"Oh, it's Tsuru and Director Ten Sei."
Garp greeted the two with a Smile, but what surprised Garp was that the two ignored his Greeting and instead looked seriously at Sengoku, who was sitting in the Marshal Position.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, according to my investigation, I would like to ask you where Rear Admiral Rosinante has been recently?"
Director Ten Sei asked Sengoku with a cold Face.
This sudden question made the Atmosphere in the Office suddenly become a little awkward.
Even Borsalino, who had been trimming his nails with Nail Clippers, stopped his Action and looked curiously in the direction of Sengoku and Director Ten Sei. Obviously, the top leader of the Navy Crime Investigation Bureau had discovered something related to Sengoku.
Garp was still eating Senbei Crackers in his Hand as if nothing had happened.
As for Sabo, he was already dumbfounded/confused, obviously his nerves were not as thick as Luffy's. He could clearly Feel that the Atmosphere in the Office was a bit wrong now.
And the People in the Office were obviously all Big Shots, so he had to cast a Gaze at Garp for help.
"Sabo, try the Navy special Flower Tea. You can't drink this Thing in East Blue."
Facing Sabo's Gaze, Garp just asked him to drink tea.
Sabo held the Teacup and kept his Gaze wandering over these Navy Big Shots. Obviously, he was trying to figure out the current Situation.
"Rosinante was sent by me to perform a Hidden Mission some time ago."
Sengoku said with a frown.
"But according to my investigation, Rear Admiral Rosinante appeared in the Grand Line some time ago, and was suspected of having close contact with the Rebel elements of the Revolutionary Army."
Director Ten Sei's Gaze stared at Sengoku, and then continued to speak: "In addition, I also found out that there seems to be another Hidden Story behind Admiral Zephyr's rebellion back then…"
As Director Ten Sei's Words fell, Garp silently put down the Senbei Crackers in his Hand, while a touch of wise Radiance flashed in Sengoku's Gaze.
"So, as expected of you, Director Ten Sei."
Sengoku faced the Gaze of the Director of the Navy Crime Investigation Bureau without the slightest retreat, and said appreciatively.
"So, it's really as I guessed, whether it's Rear Admiral Rosinante's Action, or Admiral Zephyr's defection back then, it's related to Mr. Sengoku, or rather…"
Director Ten Sei's Gaze then swept over the other People in the Office.
"Okay, don't be so Nervous."
At this time, Tsuru spoke.
"But Sengoku, you were indeed careless this time. You should be clear that the World Government's defense against the Navy has never been relaxed. If it weren't for Director Ten Sei this time, the Intelligence about Rosinante's contact with the Revolutionary Army would have appeared on the Five Elders' Office desks."
Hearing Tsuru's Words, Sengoku also fell into Silence. Although he was known as a wise general, the Plan he formulated might still have some flaws in the Process of execution.
And he also knew that in the Navy Headquarters, the World Government also placed a lot of Hidden Agents. After all, the World Government would not allow the Navy, this Giant, to be a mist in their eyes.
"Mr. Sengoku, don't worry, I have no hostility. I roughly understand your Plan from Staff Officer Tsuru. I plan to join you. After all, this World really needs to be sorted out."
Director Ten Sei looked at Sengoku and said sincerely.
Sengoku fell into Silence. He also knew that if he wanted to change this World, the Power of the Navy was indispensable, which also meant that more People would join their Plan in the Future.
At the same Time, he was also a little worried that with the increase in personnel, a lot of Sand might be mixed in.
Obviously, Director Ten Sei also understood Sengoku's concerns, and directly took out a Documents and handed it to Sengoku.
"This is Data about the Internal Affairs of the Navy that I have obtained through various Means over the years. Mr. Sengoku can take a look."
After Sengoku took the Documents, his Complexion became more and more unsightly as he browsed.
"They really have ugly faces."
Sengoku did not expect that there would be so many familiar People in this Documents.
"In my investigation, these People are more or less related to the World Government, and some of them are Undercover Agent of the CP Department lurking in the Navy. In addition to these People, there are also Informant from other Forces placed within the Navy, among which the highest Power Level is currently Vergo, the highest Officer of G-5, Vice Admiral.
According to our investigation, Vergo is a spy from Doflamingo, the Royal Shichibukai Heavenly Nightshade. He joined the Navy a long Time ago, and during this period, he has been passing Intelligence to Doflamingo."
Kizaru showed a surprised expression that looked not surprised at all.
"Oh~ that's really scary."
"Puru Puru Puru."
During the conversation, the Den Den Mushi on Sengoku's Office desk suddenly rang. He answered the Den Den Mushi and said, "Moshi Moshi."
"What!? That Weapon…"
