The three Gorosei, with their dismembered bodies, endured the intense pain in their souls to restore their forms. They hadn't expected Red Hawk's strength to be so formidable.
If they hadn't been granted regeneration by Imu, wouldn't they have been instantly annihilated just now?
Thinking of this, the three old men were filled with lingering fear.
But there was no time to dwell on such thoughts. After their bodies recovered, the three Gorosei immediately knelt before the five-pointed star, remaining silent in their prostration.
Several seconds later, a somewhat ethereal voice echoed: "This person... is very strong, but he does not possess the aptitude to become a god. He is bound to die eventually."
The three Gorosei exchanged glances, then responded: "We understand."
Although Red Hawk was powerful, he lacked foundation and the aptitude to become a god, but Nika was different.
Nika was the cycle of destiny.
Subsequently, the oppressive aura from the void vanished, and the three Gorosei slowly rose.
However, even now, they could still feel a needle-like stinging pain in their souls, which tormented them greatly.
Looking at the Marines who had fainted from being unable to withstand the Haoshoku's pressure, the brows of the three Gorosei furrowed slightly.
"These people, even if they didn't see it, they shouldn't have, and also..." Satan Saint said indifferently.
"Sengoku won't agree," Saint Mars responded.
"We don't need his approval. Mobilize them out and let Sakazuki handle it. If he wants to become Fleet Admiral in the future, he cannot be soft-hearted," Warcury Saint said coldly.
"Sakazuki is indeed the most suitable candidate, it's just... his former country was..." Saint Mars trailed off, frowning.
"Don't mind it. Sakazuki is not Sengoku. He's just a martial artist who only understands a few shallow tricks. He can't imagine deeper levels," Satan Saint said indifferently.
"Then let's proceed with that..."
After deciding the fate of the fainted soldiers on the ground, the three Gorosei vanished from the star-shaped light.
"Andy, that aura just now was so powerful! Who was he?" Far from Marineford, within the alternate dimension, Carifa was still greatly shocked.
Alpha and Princess Tia were also similarly affected.
"She... is the pinnacle of the Celestial Dragons' World Government, the master of the Gorosei, Imu." Andy's tone carried a deep meaning as he looked at the three women before him.
"The master of the Gorosei?! Isn't the highest authority of the World Government the Gorosei? There's someone above the Gorosei?!" Alpha was utterly shocked.
"Of course there is." Andy nodded slightly, "I was wary of this mysterious individual, which is why I was so restrained in Mary Geoise today. Otherwise, Mary Geoise today would likely not have many Celestial Dragons left."
"There's actually someone above the Gorosei." Carifa's eyes were somewhat dazed and unfocused.
"Alright, I just wanted to test it out just now, and I didn't expect her to actually appear. Let's go, Alpha, first return to Sabaody Archipelago, then depart for Fish-Man Island," Andy said leisurely.
Judging from the aura just now, there was a distance between his strength and Imu's, but it wasn't significant.
Fighting her now wasn't worth it.
Once his domineering body was fully leveled, he could try out this person's strength. For now, Imu's attention was definitely still on the so-called destiny, so he had plenty of time.
"Understood, Andy," Alpha quickly responded, snapping back to reality.
Carifa and Princess Tia, seeing Andy's calm demeanor, also gradually calmed their turbulent emotions.
In Sabaody Archipelago, the Marine and World Government CP members had already withdrawn.
Upon receiving news that Red Hawk was at Marineford, Aokiji, Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru immediately led the Marine back to headquarters for support. However, shortly after they departed, they received even more shocking news.
The Gorosei personally intervened but failed to capture Red Hawk, and the bodies of three Gorosei were even cut into two. As a result, countless Marine soldiers died at Marineford.
Among them were many Marine elites, including Rear Admirals and Vice Admirals.
Red Hawk had risen to power.
Red Hawk had killed so many Marine soldiers at Marineford and caused such a major incident today, which changed Aokiji's perception of Red Hawk once again after Kuraigana Island.
This guy was too crazy. He couldn't help but wonder if letting Red Hawk go because of Nico Robin was a mistake.
Garp seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly appeared next to Aokiji and said, "Kuzan, stick to your inner justice. Don't get lost."
Aokiji looked at Garp.
With a somewhat dazed look in his eyes, he murmured, "Vice Admiral Garp..."
On the route back to Sabaody Archipelago, Andy's yacht and Garp's warship passed each other. The Marine had a special route that allowed them to quickly return to Marineford through the Gates of Justice.
When Andy and his group reappeared in Sabaody Archipelago, everyone on the island was terrified.
They didn't know what had happened, but the fact that so many important Marine figures and numerous World Government personnel were searching for Red Hawk proved that a major incident had occurred.
And it was caused by Red Hawk.
Now that the Marine had just left, Red Hawk appeared. If a battle broke out, would they be affected?
Andy and his group ignored these civilians.
Through Alpha's alternate dimension, the four of them went directly to Shakky's Rip-Off Bar.
Seeing the spatial gate suddenly open, Shakky instinctively wanted to attack, but after seeing Andy emerge from it, she exerted great willpower to stop herself.
"Hiss~ Shakky, what are you trying to do? Murder... your son-in-law? Be careful, Hancock might hit you~" Andy looked at Shakky with an exaggerated expression.
"Cut the nonsense. The World Government is going to such great lengths to find your whereabouts. What exactly happened? Or rather, what exactly did you do?" Shakky's tone was full of questioning, but also revealed concern.
Of course, she wasn't worried about Andy.
Hancock had just gotten together with this guy. If something happened to this guy, Hancock would definitely go crazy or die from lovesickness.
"You'll know part of it tomorrow. Once we reach the New World, this matter will be fully disclosed." Andy walked to the bar and directly took out the best collection to pour himself a drink.
"Bastard! I only have three bottles of this wine left!" Seeing the wine Andy took out, Shakky instantly exploded. She immediately went over and snatched the wine bottle back from Andy's hand.
She sold this wine for 1 million Berries a glass!
"How stingy." Andy grumbled, then chugged the poured wine, "Gulp gulp~ Ha~ Comfortable~"
Shakky watched Andy warily, putting away all her precious collections.
"Alright, I forgot to ask for Hancock's contact information. I came here just to ask you to tell Hancock to wait for me at Tezoros Entertainment City in the New World." After speaking, Andy got up, preparing to return to the alternate dimension.
"Are you leaving now? But has your ship been coated? I know a good coating craftsman..." Shakky quickly said.
Andy, who had reached the entrance of the spatial gate, waved his hand: "No need. Remember to tell Hancock. I'm leaving. Goodbye." Then he walked into the alternate dimension.
Immediately after, the spatial gate closed.
His heart was now kidnapped by the mermaids of Fish-Man Island.
Mermaids!
Have you seen the movie?
The kind with long hair and great figures, half-human, half-fish mermaids!
Understand?
