Chapter 47: He's Already as Strong as an Admiral? The Five Elders and the Marines are Shaken
"The highest authority in the world! The Five Elders!"
"Even the Five Elders are here! This is incredible!"
"The Five Elders can actually block Rocks, the Golden Lion, and Shiki! Are they really that strong?"
The appearance of the Five Elders stunned everyone present, from the Marines to even the members of the Rocks Pirates! People only knew the Five Elders were the highest authority in the world; they had no idea these individuals were so powerful! Even the Marines were completely unaware.
Among those present, only a few informed Marines, as well as Rocks, Rono, Whitebeard, and Shiki, remained calm. Did anyone truly believe that the Celestial Dragons, a bunch of useless trash, could command willing submission? It was all because there was power backing them!
Ultimately, this was a world where might makes right! Whoever had the biggest fist was God! If the Celestial Dragons were truly a bunch of good-for-nothing wastes, someone would have stormed the Holy Land Mary Geoise long ago and slaughtered those pigs. How could they have been allowed to rule the world for 800 years?
Of course, the Five Elders were merely the "public face" pushed to the forefront. The real mastermind was someone else entirely.
The King of the World—Imu!
Even as a transmigrator, Rono didn't know the depths of Imu's power. He only knew that this person was the true ruler of the World Government, an immortal who possessed some kind of terrifying power.
"But the fact that the Five Elders are all so strong is beyond my expectations."
After a quick scan with his Observation Haki, Rono was still a bit surprised. The auras of the five were all roughly the same, at the Emperor level. The World Government's resources were truly profound.
Furthermore, these five were different from the Five Elders in the original story. After all, the Five Elders from the original story should only be in their thirties or forties at this time, whereas these five old men's hair was already white.
Do the Five Elders also get replaced?
Besides the Five Elders, a group of masked CP0 agents also appeared on the scene! Among them were some formidable powerhouses. At least ten of them had the strength of an elite Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.
When they saw the scene, they were also instantly shocked.
"The Marines were actually beaten into such a sorry state!"
"Are the Rocks Pirates really that powerful?"
They rarely dealt with pirates, so they didn't know the true value of the world's strongest pirate crew. Now, it seemed the power of the world's strongest pirate crew was far beyond their imagination.
"And there! Look, three of the gods have been killed!"
Just then, a sharp-eyed CP0 agent cried out in alarm! He had just discovered the bodies of three Celestial Dragons on the scene! And standing beside these bodies was a young man about 2.5 meters tall (Rono's body was still growing), dressed in a clean white shirt and black trousers!
Bounty: 1.5 billion!
Captain of the Rocks Pirates' Seventh Division!
"The Vile One" Rono!
Upon seeing the bodies of the three Celestial Dragons, the CP0 agents were first utterly shocked! Then, as they came to their senses, each of them erupted with a murderous aura directed at Rono!
Although their expressions were hidden behind masks, Rono could clearly feel that these CP0 agents were furious! They probably wouldn't have been this angry even if their own fathers had died.
"You bastard, you actually committed deicide!"
"You have committed a capital crime, you commoner!"
At least three powerhouses at the level of elite headquarters Vice Admirals immediately surrounded Rono.
"Six Powers Secret Technique: Annihilation!"
One of the faster CP0 agents appeared before Rono and immediately executed a Six Powers secret technique! This was a move that combined the power of all six of the Six Powers. Its power was immense, and upon activation, it would create a massive shockwave that would pass through the body and damage the internal organs. It was a low-end version of Armament Haki: Ryuo.
"Wait! Rono is already at the Admiral level! Don't go looking for death!"
Just then, the young Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke up from the side! This information needed to be conveyed to everyone present as soon as possible! After all, the battle had been incredibly fierce. Kong, Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr were all fighting with all their might; how could they have paid attention to the situation outside their battles?
Only Tsuru had witnessed Rono display strength no less than that of an Admiral-level powerhouse! If they still thought Rono was only at the level of his 1.5 billion bounty, they would suffer a great loss!
"What?!"
Before the CP0 agent could react, the famous sword Kotetsu had easily pierced through his body! Armament Haki: Ryuo instantly penetrated the CP0 agent's body, shattering his internal organs on the spot!
The next moment, the CP0 agent collapsed in a pool of blood!
"Admiral-level strength?!"
"Rono has broken through to the Admiral level?"
"Tsuru, you're not joking, are you?"
Tsuru's words instantly caused Kong, Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, and the Five Elders to turn pale with shock!
How long had he been at sea, and he already possessed Admiral-level strength?
Even though they knew of Rono's monstrous talent, the high-ranking Marines and the Five Elders were still stunned into silence upon hearing this news!
Admiral and Vice Admiral, it seemed like only one step of difference. But the gap between them was like a chasm!
Admiral, the entire Marine organization only had three Admiral positions!
Admirals were also hailed by the entire world as the highest combat power of the World Government! Of course, this was the highest combat power on the surface.
Vice Admirals, on the other hand, were much inferior. From Admiral candidates and elite headquarters Vice Admirals, down to ordinary headquarters Vice Admirals and the Vice Admirals of Marine bases scattered around the world!
Counting the entire global Marine system, there were at least dozens of Vice Admirals, if not more! This was enough to show the cloud-and-mud difference between the two!
A Vice Admiral, even an elite one from the headquarters, would only be instantly killed when facing an Admiral!
"That's the captain of our Rocks Pirates' Seventh Division!"
"It's only natural for him to have such strength!"
Whitebeard laughed heartily. Seeing the expressions on the faces of the Marine high command was incredibly satisfying!
"Just you watch, Marine Headquarters, you five old geezers. Rono is far more terrifying than you can imagine!"
"Your doomsday is coming!"
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the Five Elders, which looked as if they had just eaten shit, Rocks also felt a sense of catharsis and immense satisfaction!
Five Elders, and the people behind you!
You bunch of trash, just wait for death!
Rono's talent was something that even he found terrifying!
You have no idea how scary that guy is!
"Damn it! He's actually an Admiral-level powerhouse!"
The other two CP0 agents hadn't expected their colleague to be instantly killed. Their own strength was not much different from their colleague's; wouldn't they also be instantly killed if they went up against him?
So the two of them immediately turned and ran.
"Trying to run?"
Rono sneered and released his Conqueror's Haki. A dark red aura wrapped around Kotetsu, emitting a dangerous yet captivating aura.
"Die!"
He swung his sword twice in succession. The two CP0 agents clearly dodged, yet they found that they had still been cut!
"What is this ability..."
Under their masks, the two CP0 agents closed their eyes with expressions of utter shock!
They had clearly dodged, yet they were still hit. They had never heard of such an ability!
"Three elite Vice Admirals died just like that!"
"This is Conqueror's Coating!"
"What?! He has already mastered Conqueror's Coating?!"
At this moment, Kong, Zephyr, Sengoku, and Garp finally saw with their own eyes that Rono had mastered Conqueror's Coating!
The four of them immediately sucked in a cold breath!
Possessing Conqueror's Coating undoubtedly meant one had entered the realm of Emperor-level powerhouses!
This rookie, how long had it been since he had been promoted to the Emperor level, a level that many people could never reach in their entire lives!
