"..."
Saint Figarland Garling unhappily sheathed his sword, giving the other pirates a cold glance as he spoke sinisterly, "Hmph, let the old man live, but everyone else on Shampodi Archipelago must die!"
"..."
Red-haired Shanks furrowed his brow.
"Perhaps you did well just to escape..."
Dark King Rayleigh chuckled softly, also putting away his longsword, "After all, this is the territory of the Konoha Pirates. Besides you lot who have been reduced to slave celestial dragons, the other celestial dragons have never dared to step foot on this archipelago..."
"You!"
Saint Figarland Garling was once again enraged.
"Mr. Rayleigh, please say no more..."
Red-haired Shanks rubbed his head, feeling quite vexed by the argument between these two elders to whom he was closely connected.
Just as everyone was watching Saint Figarland Garling and Dark King Rayleigh, a black and white figure emerged from the ceiling above.
It was Black Zetsu and Awei, the intelligence agents of the Konoha Pirates.
"Can we start the test?"
There was an unprecedented joy in White Zetsu Awei's voice, smilingly looking at the rampaging Saint Figarland Garling standing inside: "Let them kill this man..."
"Go ahead."
The raspy voice of Black Zetsu echoed within the auction house.
"Who are they?"
A group of pirates suddenly looked up and saw a black and white monster.
However, before they could comprehend what it meant, a group of White Zetsus that had been spread around the venue suddenly unleashed themselves, rushing toward the inside!
"What do the Konoha Pirates want to do!"
A pirate looked in terror at the horde of approaching monsters!
One of the great pirates was about to punch a White Zetsu flying, but bizarrely, that White Zetsu's body instantly turned into golden particles and dispersed!
"We need to use you pirates as test subjects..."
White Zetsu Awei laughingly looked at the battlefield below, which instantly descended into chaos, kindly advising, "This is our latest developed war weapon; please use your lives to help us test it a little. After all, you're not good people anyway..."
"Let's go."
Black Zetsu did not want to linger here any longer.
"Be careful!"
Red-haired Shanks wielded his western sword Gryphon, slicing through an oncoming White Zetsu, which dissolved into particles of light before his eyes, his expression turning particularly grave, "These monsters can use Logia-type Fruit abilities!"
"!!!"
The entire venue instantly fell into chaos!
Simultaneously.
Chaos also erupted across Shampodi Archipelago.
The World Government's agents received the Peacekeeper permissions from the Five Elders' Saint Saturn. At this moment, they swiftly launched an attack, commanding the Peacekeepers to fiercely besiege the area of the Konoha Pirates, ready to snatch Vegapunk at any cost!
Peacekeepers marched forward, sending out laser beams toward the residence area of the Konoha Pirates!
Offshore of Shampodi Archipelago.
A fleet of Navy warships also commenced their action in sync.
Akihara Kagura raised an eyebrow, lightly speaking while looking at the chaotic Shampodi Archipelago, "I suppose it's about time to make a move? It seems those agents have finally started their operation..."
"Prepare to land for combat immediately!"
Akainu gave the advance order in a deep voice.
This tall Navy Admiral stood at the forefront, leading his warship, his voice thick, "The entire army, attack Shampodi Archipelago!"
"Everyone..."
"Seize Vegapunk with all your might, at any cost!"
