Chapter 325: Each Has Their Own Path to Death
The entrance to the New World, on the Red Line that stood tall like the spine of the world.
An elevator descended straight from Mary Geoise to the sea surface, currently carrying a full load of people as it slowly ascended.
To participate in the once-every-four-years conference, the monarchs of the World Government's member nations had already arrived one after another from all over.
The security in Mary Geoise had also been tightened considerably for this, adding a bit of gravity to the Holy Land.
In a spacious and simple conference hall, a few sofas were arranged around a long stone slab table, and nothing else.
It was as if for the few people sitting on the sofas, any other decoration was superfluous.
"The situation has been received. The Reverie is approaching. Come back after the tea party is over. Stay in Mary Geoise with Lucci and the others."
"Yes, sir."
A faint reply came from the other side. Saint Saturn hung up the Den Den Mushi on the table, supported himself with his cane with both hands, and sighed.
"In just two short weeks, the Straw Hat crew has grown to this extent. It was a miscalculation."
The news he had heard from the Marines two weeks ago was that the Straw Hat crew had been defeated by the Whitebeard Pirates on Raijin Island.
But as a result, the Dressrosa incident had suddenly broken out a few days ago.
The two admirals, Fujitora and Ryokugyu, had been defeated one after another.
And now he was suddenly being told that the Straw Hat crew had already defeated Big Mom?!
This was a joke.
"Once the news of Big Mom's defeat spreads, the Straw Hat crew will become a true Sea Emperor."
Saint Nusjuro, the only one not in a suit but in samurai attire, had a grave voice. He rested his longsword on his shoulder and said in a low voice:
"Rather than saying they've grown, it's more like we've greatly underestimated them from the beginning. The result has already become such a big problem."
"On the sea, a huge wave is about to be stirred up."
"And it had to be at a time when the Reverie is about to be held. There's no time to deal with these troublesome matters now."
Saint Saturn held his forehead, looking like he had a headache. The same expression, more or less, also appeared on the faces of the others.
"More importantly, Totto Land has now become an ally of the Straw Hat crew, which makes it even harder to deal with them."
"And Roger's remnant... these two brothers are really one more troublesome than the other."
Looking at the several wanted posters on the table, the Five Elders fell into a silence.
Saturn's gaze was fixed on the face wearing the straw hat, unable to look away.
Saint Nusjuro picked up another wanted poster beside him.
"Compared to them, I think Black Snake Reiner is the one who should be taken more seriously. Don't forget his ability."
"That's right. If this continues, with the power he holds, even we would not be able to control him even if we used all our strength."
"Could it be that another Rocks is about to appear on the sea?"
The mustachioed Saint Warcury sat on a single sofa at the side, his hands clasped, his elbows on his knees, his tone worried.
The Five Elders spoke one after another, their voices growing lower and lower, making the atmosphere in the room gradually heavier.
It was hard to imagine that these few people, who held the highest power in the world and whose single command could have a major impact on a country, would also have a time when they were so helpless.
"Since it has come to this, we can only make plans after the Reverie is over."
Saint Saturn reached out and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. "Also, pass on the message to the Marine side. Without foolproof preparations, they absolutely cannot act rashly."
"Mm. Pirates are ultimately a scattered bunch. They will only continue to fight and will have a hard time uniting."
A dangerous, cold glint flashed under Saint Nusjuro's round-rimmed glasses.
"There will always be a chance..."
Two days after setting sail from Totto Land.
Far away in the New World, Reiner and the others did not know that they had already become a major concern for the Five Elders.
The ship was still peaceful and serene.
After finishing his washing up, Reiner walked out of the dormitory, refreshed.
The morning sun was just right, warm and gentle on his body. Just as he stepped onto the lawn, a gentle breeze brushed past his face, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees.
The central lawn deck was definitely the most genius idea.
In Reiner's view, this was second only to the freshwater collection system in the main mast that used the sails as power.
Leaning against the ship's rail, the sun and the gentle breeze brought a moment of peace and tranquility. Reiner quietly lit a cigarette.
Two days successful in quitting smoking. Time to reward myself with one.
The smoke swirled and rose. A few white seagulls flew over from the distance. Reiner's eyesight was very good, enough to see the newspaper bags on the seagulls' backs.
Two days have passed since the wedding. The news of their affair has started to ferment and has probably spread to every corner of the world through the newspapers by now.
Reiner thought to himself.
Before leaving, Law had sought them out and proposed a deal to exchange the information on the Road Poneglyph.
As for the Vivre Card for Zunesha needed to go to Zou, Reiner had no way of getting it either. Although he was very annoyed, he still agreed to the exchange.
It was also the day of Sanji's wedding, and he had also received a gift from Camie. Reiner was not in the mood to fight them.
Afterward.
Because Big Mom had been defeated by Reiner and Luffy first...
The alliance of Kid, Law, and Bege had not disbanded, but had shifted their target to another Sea Emperor.
Law proposed to go after Kaido.
Kid wanted revenge on Red-Hair.
Bege felt that Ace's crew, having lost Whitebeard, might be easier to deal with.
Reiner made no comment after hearing this, just wanted to laugh.
Each of the three had their own path to death.
Blackbeard also had Aokiji on his side.
No matter which Sea Emperor they targeted in the end, Reiner didn't think they could succeed.
Everyone had their own adventures. Reiner didn't try to persuade them. Let them go and get虐 if they wanted.
In addition, before leaving, Reiju had also come to say goodbye to Sanji and had also given him a wedding gift.
A Germa 66 battlesuit, Stealth Black.
Sanji had shown some resistance to the battlesuit, but since it was a gift from Reiju, he had accepted it.
Reiner couldn't help but look forward to it.
After Sanji's genes awakened, his physical fitness, which surpassed the limits of a human, was probably no less than Whitebeard's.
Combined with the kicking techniques of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the power that would erupt was simply unbelievable.
Compared to Whitebeard, he was only a little lacking in Haki.
Otherwise, the shadow of the former world's strongest man would probably reappear in Sanji.
As he was thinking, a cigarette had burned to its end.
The flock of News Coos also happened to fly over. One landed on the railing and took out a newspaper to hand over.
Reiner collected his thoughts and, on a whim, dropped the cigarette butt into the money bag on the News Coo, and took the newspaper.
The man and the bird blinked at each other.
News Coo: "???"
Reiner: "..."
The News Coo's head popped a vein and, in a rage, it frantically flapped its wings, beating Reiner until he retreated pathetically.
"Gah! Gah! Gah!!!"
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm sorry! Here's the money, the money!"
After finally placating the News Coo not to blacklist them and sending it away...
Reiner was tidying his messy hair.
"Yo, did you just get beaten up by a pigeon?"
Nami teased with a smile, leaning on the railing of the second-floor dining room entrance.
A corner of Reiner's mouth twitched.
I should have just roasted them all just now! Stinky pigeons!
"Come on up for breakfast."
"Ahem."
Reiner sheepishly brushed off his clothes, walked across the lawn, and jumped up to the second floor.
Arriving in the dining room and sitting down, he casually tossed the newspaper onto the table.
While Nami was flipping through the newspaper, Reiner also began to enjoy his breakfast.
In the semi-open kitchen opposite, Sanji and Pudding were busy in their white chef's uniforms.
Or rather, they were flirting, from time to time their eyes would light up with hearts as they praised each other.
Not just Sanji, but Pudding too.
Newlyweds, after all. It's like this. It'll be fine in a couple of days.
No wonder these two are so compatible. Even their perverted attributes are so symmetrical.
Reiner looked at them with a disdainful expression, finding the sweetness nauseating.
"As expected, we're in the newspaper again."
Nami at the side sighed, and lay on the table with a look of resignation, two unmanly tears streaming down her face.
"Wuwu~~, don't go up anymore, my bounty. I almost want to sell myself."
Several new wanted posters slipped from Nami's fingers and fell.
Reiner glanced at them. It hadn't increased much. His had gone from 3.12 billion to a neat 3.6 billion Berries. The others had also symbolically increased a little.
After all, their bounties were already very high. Only Luffy's and Sanji's had increased by a larger margin.
"Come over here, Chopper! New bounty! Your value has skyrocketed!"
Bang!
As soon as his voice fell, the door was violently pushed open.
"Really, Reiner!!"
Chopper rushed over on his two feet, 'pat-pat', his face unable to hide his excitement.
"How much did it go up to? Is it 300 million Berries? I defeated an enemy of 300 million Berries, you know!"
Reiner didn't speak, just faintly held up one index finger.
"100 million? That's not bad either, hehe."
"1000."
"..."
The excited Chopper froze in mid-stride, instantly petrified on the spot.
Reiner swallowed a soft cake and comforted him:
"You should be content, Chopper. 1000 Berries can buy a lot of cotton candy."
"Go to hell, you bastard!"
Chopper's eyes were fierce as he bared his sharp teeth and bit Reiner on the head.
