[If we reach 100 Power Stones this week, I'll release 10 bonus chapters as a thank-you to everyone's support!]
....
At this moment, a loud shout, filled with all one's might, suddenly broke into the battlefield.
"What?"
Because the Sea Prism Stone Bullet was stuck in his shoulder, his body was already feeling weak. Sakazuki, with cold sweat on his face, heard this voice.
Looking aside with an ugly expression——
The figure on the warship with bloodshot eyes, shouting with all his might.
CP?
Of course, he had seen this guy before, but he was just a cowardly World Government official. But at this moment, he actually dared to risk his life and break into the battlefield with [Black Gun].
This undoubtedly represents a signal...
"What a joke! The navy has suffered so many casualties here, how can they surrender at this time!!!"
Sakazuki was instantly furious. The magma that had been extinguished was now boiling hot again, erupting into a terrifying heat wave.
He forcibly cut off the flesh of his left shoulder where the Sea Prism Stone Bullet was embedded.
Under the epaulettes of the navy cloak, which symbolize status, there is a bright red.
It's hard to tell whether it's blood or magma.
On the other side
Ronan, who was standing in the sky, was not surprised at all by this scene. After all, he had seen it within a minute.
Moreover, it was not difficult for him to sense from his Observation Haki that what Spandine was tightly protecting was——
Den Den Mushi with a serious look.
Faced with CP's sudden disruption, Sakazuki clearly didn't want to give him face, even though Spandine was the nominal commander-in-chief of this operation:
"I'm just carrying out the Buster Call..."
"How long are you going to keep messing around! Sakazuki!!!"
An angry shout came from the direction of Spandine's figure, but the tone and majesty of a superior clearly showed that it was not him who was speaking.
As soon as this sound came out, all the CP members on the warship immediately knelt on one knee, including Spandine, holding the Den Den Mushi in their hands high above their heads.
The figure that emerged was one of the Five Elders, the highest authority in the World Government.
——The Martial God of Justice, Topman Warcury!!!
"Such a fast speed..."
"How could it be…"
The scalding magma on Sakazuki's body slowly subsided. Even though he felt extremely angry and humiliated, he couldn't show any of it at this moment.
But from his clenched teeth and the half of his face covered by the brim of his hat, one could vaguely see the volcanic eruption in his heart.
"Ultimately, this is all due to the incompetence of your navy. How dare you threaten to continue the war!!!"
At this time, the holy land of Mary Geoise,
Between powers,
The solemn atmosphere seemed to become substantial and condensed within.
Topman Warcury's eyes were grim, his face darkened, and he angrily denounced the navy's brainless behavior.
So reckless, do you still have any regard for the world government?
If the Celestial Dragons appeared on Ohara, would the Navy also use the name of the Buster Call to eliminate these rulers of the world?
You're just a dog of the World Government!
Of course,
This is not what makes the Five Elders most angry.
If the Navy really has this strength, they can successfully kill [Black Gun] Ronan on Ohara and complete the "Buster Call".
Then not only would the Five Elders not reprimand them, they would even go along with it and allow Sakazuki and Kuzan to directly become admirals of the navy based on their merits.
But the key is...
The five people representing the world's highest powers passed around the live footage of the battle between the two sides on the Ohara battlefield, which had just been sent by the CP intelligence personnel.
The more you look at it, the darker your face becomes!
The detailed battle situation throughout the article can be summarized in just a few words:
Crushed, powerless, defeated...
Even when Kuzan was seriously injured and unconscious, was shot, and had no means of counterattack, he still continued to fight to the death!
Is that idiot Sakazuki going to destroy the World Government?!
Listening to the angry rebuke of the Five Elders,
Thinking back to the moment when I was determined to fight to the death, I wanted to continue fighting.
Sakazuki's eyes, covered by the shadow of the brim of his hat, were now bloodshot to the point of reaching his pupils.
Glancing around, he saw a large number of sacrificed junior navy personnel, as well as seriously injured and unconscious colleagues. Then he looked at the unharmed CPs, and the Five Elders who were high above him giving orders...
After a long silence, reason finally prevailed.
The general, who was ready to fight to the death, stood there speechlessly.
is the best answer.
…
"There's no need for such polite talk, Mr. Warcury, one of the Five Elders."
I don't know when,
A tall figure appeared on the deck of the warship, kneeling on one knee in front of the CPs, standing in front of them without any hesitation.
A pair of eyes emitting scarlet light stared directly at the Den Den Mushi in front of him.
As smart as he is, how could he not understand the intention of the Five Elders to publicly scold Sakazuki?
It's just a matter of finding a way out.
In other words,
To preserve the last veil of friendly relations between the two sides.
If Ronan was the one who was at a disadvantage on the battlefield, then the content of the phone call would not be to mediate the war, but to prepare for a public execution.
The "Next Generation King" who was famous in the sea was captured by the World Government and publicly executed.
It will surely give this era of rampage a powerful tranquilizer.
"Ronan..."
Seeing the slowly opening red eyes of the Den Den Mushi, the Five Elders looked at each other, all with a hint of helplessness on their faces.
"Why, after such a long absence, would you appear at this very moment in Ohara, where the World Government has issued a Buster Call?!"
Although they were helpless, the Five Elders were well versed in negotiation when facing the real boss, and their words were firm.
I just scolded Sakazuki to give Ronan face and express my goodwill.
But when the real conversation starts, it is impossible for the Five Elders to give in.
"Why is that..."
Ronan touched his chin and looked up at the sky. "Of course it's for traveling. After all, after the Buster Call was launched, we won't be able to see it anymore."
Then, he seemed to have thought of something and said with a look of surprise:
"Could it be that... you guys think I'm researching the Twenty Kingdoms and..."
"Ronan!!!"
The roar of anger interrupted the shocking words that Ronan was about to say. The faces of the Five Elders were now covered with gloom and cold sweat.
There is no need to study at all, I know everything.
This nasty guy!
The CPs present were also horrified.
It seems like I'm almost going to know the secret of Void Century!
If it were someone else who knew such a secret, they would have been wiped out by the Five Elders who sent out the Buster Call.
But it happened to be this guy Ronan,
It's really worrying…
It seems that the order regarding Ronan needs to be raised a few levels in priority.
At least,
It is also higher than the Buster Call.
