Chapter 20: Covering the Rear
Pangaea Castle.
The Gorosei had arrived in the Chamber of Authority.
They already knew the death toll and wore serious expressions.
"We must find the culprit. Anyone who dares to kill a Celestial Dragon must die, and the island where the culprit is located must be subjected to a Buster Call."
Saint Nasujuro, the "Gold Star," said angrily.
This was a major incident of slaughtering Celestial Dragons!
Nothing so terrible had ever happened before.
If others were to find out that even Gods were being killed, what authority would the Celestial Dragons have left?
"Seal off the news. This matter must not be leaked out."
Saint Mars, the "Mars Star," added.
"I second that!"
"I second that!"
"I second that!"
"I second that!"
The other Gorosei all agreed.
"Gorosei, Lord Gernica requests an audience," a guard's voice came from outside.
The Gorosei exchanged glances, and Saint Peter, the "Jupiter Star," spoke:
"Enter!"
The CP0 agent walked in, respectfully looked at the Gorosei, and knelt at their feet.
"Reporting to the five great elders, the identity of the murderer has been found out."
Gernica paused for a moment and continued:
"The murderer is a Slave who escaped from the Divine Trial Ground. His name is Dante Voss. He was sold to Mary Geoise after his village was massacred by pirates."
"He has won the championship in three arena competitions, killed several of the World Noble's mounts, the strongest of which was a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million Berries. His estimated strength is at the level of a Navy Rear Admiral. He is a swordsman who has mastered the power to Steel Severing."
"We have already grasped his whereabouts and are dispatching people to pursue him."
The Gorosei looked at Gernica with a hint of satisfaction. This agent was their World Government's most satisfying masterpiece.
Every time they encountered something, he could quickly resolve it.
"Eliminate that lowly Slave. Anyone who dares to attack a God must be dealt with."
"Yes!" Gernica nodded.
"Not only them, but also deal with everyone who knows about this matter except for the World Nobles and CP0. I don't want this matter to spread."
Saint Nasujuro added.
Gernica's body trembled. He knew that after this order was issued, thousands of people would die, but he still nodded and accepted the order.
"Yes, Lord Saint Nasujuro."
"Well, step down!"
Saint Peter waved his hand, letting him leave.
"Gernica is indeed our strongest agent. If everyone else could have such efficiency, then our work would be easier."
Saint Satan of the "Saturn Star" said.
"That's unlikely. After all, there has only been one strongest agent in so many years."
Saint Mars shook his head.
"Gorosei, the World Noble lords request an audience," a guard's voice came from outside again.
The Gorosei looked at each other and revealed helpless expressions.
They knew what the Celestial Dragons were coming here for at this time... As Dante Voss and the others rushed towards the pier, they were discovered by a team of guards, who chased after them.
There were many of these guards, about fifty.
Dante Voss's eyes turned cold. At this time, he couldn't bother hiding anymore. He told the Slaves to continue running forward, and he rushed over.
The Slaves looked at Dante Voss with worry, knowing that they couldn't help much, so they had to grit their teeth and run forward.
Dante Voss's Speed was very fast. He had used all his strength and rushed over in a few seconds.
Looking at the guards holding spears, he gripped the bloodthirsty sword and quickly rushed into the crowd.
"Blood Slaughter Hell!"
A low whisper sounded within, and Dante Voss swung the bloodthirsty sword and quickly shuttled through it.
In front of the bloodthirsty sword and his Swordsmanship at the level of a swordsman, the guards' armor was like tofu, easily cut off.
In one round, the entire team fell into a pool of blood.
Killing them did not make Dante Voss feel relaxed. His eyes looked in the direction of the Land of the Gods, where there were already dense crowds of people rushing towards here.
He knew that their actions had been discovered.
Seeing this, Dante Voss quickly went to chase the Slaves. He had to send the Slaves down quickly, otherwise everything he did would be in vain.
With his Speed, he quickly caught up with them.
At this moment, they were on the shore, looking at the bottom in despair.
The Slaves looked at Dante Voss returning and quickly said, "We can't get down here at all. It's too high here."
Dante Voss looked over, and indeed, it was thousands of meters away from the sea, and there was also a considerable distance from the Red Port below.
This made him frown.
The road leading to the Red Port was not here, but there were too many guards over there, and they couldn't rush over at all.
Dante Voss also planned to let them find a place to go down at random, and then find a chance to steal a boat from the Red Port to leave.
After thinking for a moment, Dante Voss took out the Devil Fruit he had just obtained from his backpack.
He didn't know what these fruits were, so he could only experiment one by one.
He gave one to Dorry, who was from the same village as him, and asked him to eat it.
Dorry didn't know what this was, but he still ate it at Dante Voss's request.
After eating the fruit, Dorry immediately felt a strange change in his body.
Under his urging, a large amount of wind gushed out of his body, making the surrounding Slaves unable to stand still.
Dante Voss was a little disappointed.
This Ability should be an inferior Ability to the Wind-Wind Fruit. It can only blow wind and is considered an ordinary Ability.
But for Dorry, it was considered a change of fate.
Dante Voss took out another Devil Fruit and handed it to Sharin, asking her to eat it.
Sharin glanced at Dante Voss gratefully, her red lips slightly parted,
"Thank you!"
As a princess of a country before, she naturally knew of the existence of Devil Fruit.
And now, in order to save them, Dante Voss was willing to give them Devil Fruit worth hundreds of millions of Berries.
As Sharin ate the Devil Fruit, she felt as if her body had a kind of Ability.
She tried to activate this Ability, and the dust around her instantly surrounded her.
Sharin's beautiful eyes lit up. She knew the Ability of this Devil Fruit. It was the Paramecia-type Dust-Dust Fruit, which could control all the dust around her.
She told Dante Voss what she had learned.
Dante Voss nodded. This Ability felt much stronger than blowing wind and had great development potential.
But it was still useless for escaping from here.
Dante Voss took out another Devil Fruit and gave it to her younger sister, Mona.
Mona took the fruit excitedly, thanked Dante Voss, and took a small bite.
After sensing her body for a moment, her eyes lit up and she said excitedly to Dante Voss, "Benefactor, my Ability seems to be able to take everyone away from here."
As she spoke, she gestured with her small hand, and a wisp of white cloud gushed out of her body, turning into a pair of wings on her back.
Under her will, the wings kept flying, actually carrying her to fly up.
Seeing this, Dante Voss finally showed a smile.
The other Slaves also became happy. With this Ability, they could really escape from here.
Dante Voss looked at the pursuers who were very close and said to them:
"Alright, you guys go on your own from here! I'll stop them!"
Dante Voss walked inside, his back looking a little lonely.
"Benefactor, aren't you leaving with us?" Sharin asked anxiously.
With Mona's Devil Fruit Ability, they had a chance to leave here.
Dorry also said, "Yes, Dante Voss, let's leave together!"
Mona's eyes were filled with tears, ":Benefactor..."
The other Slaves were also reluctant to stay and wanted Dante Voss to leave with them.
After all, without Dante Voss, they would still be tortured in Mary Geoise and would have no chance to leave here at all.
Dante Voss just waved his hand and didn't say anything.
He was indeed planning to attract firepower for them, otherwise, it would be a dream to leave with just three Devil Fruit Ability users.
Of course, the most important thing was to take advantage of this opportunity to kill a lot and obtain slaughter points.
