Chapter 88 Blackmailing the Five Elders and Persecuting the Agents

"it's over!"

Esdeath snapped her fingers in a very handsome gesture, and the last sharp ice prism fell from the center. The sharp ice prism formed by tens of thousands of tons of solid ice was enough to penetrate all defenses.

However, what Esdeath didn't expect was...

Derocas simply raised his head, and his huge lion head gave her a mocking smile.

'puff! '

The sharp ice prisms pierced through Drokas' body, but at the same time, Drokas turned into a large pool of mud.

Natural swamp fruit!
During the decades that Derocas spent in CP0 working as a dog for the Celestial Dragons, he did not waste his time in vain.

He spent more than ten years finding four natural-type devil fruit users.

Finally, I extracted the unique ability of natural devil fruit users, elementalization, from the last swamp fruit user!
"Eh? It's similar to my dear's ability..."

Esdeath, who had once fought a life-and-death battle with Borsalino, recognized the nature of Drocas' abilities at a glance.

However, compared to the ease with which the Flash Fruit transformed into an element, Drokas was much more embarrassed at this moment.

Having turned into mud, he had to squeeze most of his body out from the cracks in the ice prisms before he could return to his original shape.

"Meahahaha! No matter how you try, it's useless. This is the strongest ability of the Nature Devil Fruit!"

Drokas was immediately pierced by another ice prism. Even though he was still in the form of a mud man, he could still laugh contemptuously.

I don't know where in the country Borsalino found this wild woman. She has abilities very similar to Kuzan's, but she doesn't even know that she is immune to attacks after being transformed into a natural element.

Even if she continued to attack me pointlessly...

Delocas, who was in the mud man state, suddenly felt something was wrong, and when he turned around, he found...

Although he was able to take away most of the "body" every time, it was inevitable that some of the mud would be directly frozen by the extremely low temperature ice prisms.

After a natural ability user transforms into an element, they don't need to worry about losing a little bit of their 'body'.

Because the ability user can consume his own physical strength at any time to create more "bodies" to make up for it.

In other words, the frozen mud can be disguised as Drokas's physical strength. If he is a true natural devil fruit user, it naturally doesn't matter.

Take Aokiji and Akainu as examples. If they put all their efforts into it, they can even turn the island into a world of ice and snow or a lava hell. No matter how much their "bodies" are missing, they can easily make up for it.

However, his elementalization was obtained through his own devil fruit ability and did not possess true natural characteristics. If he wanted to replenish his 'body', he could only consume his physical strength, and in order to increase the probability of extracting elemental abilities.

At the beginning, Drokas first found a natural devil fruit, then forced an ordinary person to eat it, and then extracted his ability.

Anyway, anyone with natural abilities can master the power of elementalization.

However, in this way, the abilities extracted by Drokas have hardly been developed at all, and the physical strength consumed to repair his "body" is also astonishingly high. If he continues to consume it like this, he will be the first to collapse.

"Chimera Flame!"

Realizing this, Drokas no longer dared to be arrogant. He quickly broke away from the elemental state and transformed into a chimera with a lion's head and a goat's body, and spewed colorful evil fire at the ice prism that was falling again.

The solid ice crystals were "melted" in the flames at an astonishing speed, but after "melting", they did not turn into water, but into liquid ice.

This is the special ability possessed by the Mythical Beast Type of the Sheep-Sheep Fruit, the Chimera Form.

No matter what kind of material it is, as long as it is ignited by the Chimera flame, it will be directly "melted".

Of course, seastone, armed Haki, and sea water can be immune to this terrible evil fire.

"That's interesting, let's try this trick again!"

The heels of Esdeath's boots tapped the ground, and the freezing air immediately spread out with Esdeath as the center. Although the sun was shining brightly in the sky, the temperature in Marinford suddenly dropped by several degrees.

Even Kuzan, who was being held tightly by the 'mysterious hooded man', looked at the area covered by the ice tornado in shock.

That helper Borsalino found from somewhere, and it's ok that he possessed a similar fruit ability to him, but his output was so exaggerated?

If it weren't for the ice tornado restricting the frozen range, this cold air could even freeze half of Marinford.

Poor Drocas was trapped in the ice tornado, with most of his body frozen. He relied on his strong strength to smash the ice directly, but he was frozen again before he could take any action.

"Damn it! This woman... Where did Borsalino find this monster from?!"

In shock and anger, Drokas simply spit out Chimera Fire on himself. However, even though Drokas could use this kind of evil fire, he had to protect himself with Armament Haki in advance.

The Chimaera Chimeramon, which was covered in white fur a moment ago, was dyed a pitch-black metallic color by the armament color domineering in the blink of an eye.

Then colorful evil fire ignited on his body, and he pounced towards Esdeath again, like a monster returning from purgatory.

"I haven't hunted dangerous species for a long time, so I'll have a good time to reminisce..."

Esdeath casually swung out a long whip made of ice crystals.

Against the backdrop of ice and snow, a dangerous smile appeared on her beautiful face, which looked like a goddess descending from the sky.

At the same time that Esdeath and Drocas were fighting, the agents of the CP organization finally found the seastone key and helped Borsalino open the seastone handcuffs.

Then they gathered around Borsalino, as if they wanted to protect Borsalino who was holding pure gold.

At first glance, it looks like a dozen kittens with bared fangs and claws trying to be bodyguards for a yawning tiger.

"General Kizaru, this is a call from the Five Elders!"

The agent wearing the CP0 mask held the Den Den Mushi very respectfully. As CP0, they didn't need to be so servile in front of Borsalino.

But all the agents of the CP organization know that Admiral Kizaru is the most maverick in the navy. He never cares about the owner when beating a dog. He will just punch you if he is unhappy with you. But there is no one in the entire CP organization with a bigger fist than his, so it is useless to beat him.

It was impossible for the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons to dismiss an admiral for a few dogs. When Borsalino went too far before, the Five Elders did reprimand and warn him.

Then Admiral Kizaru stayed outside the CP organization's largest base for a whole month.

No one inside was allowed to leave, and supply ships carrying materials were not allowed to enter, forcing the agents in the base to roast rats for food.

In the end, it was Marshal Zhan Guo who personally stepped in to bring Borsalino back. From then on, the agents of the CP organization were like mice seeing a cat when they saw Borsalino.

"Moses, this is Borsalino."

After taking a look at the high-end Den Den Mushi used exclusively by the Five Elders, Borsalino was thinking about getting one for himself.

"Hahahaha! You did a great job! Borsalino! The Navy did not disappoint us!"

As soon as the Den Den Mushi was connected, the excited and excited voices of the Five Elder Stars came from the other end.

Before this, the World Government had searched for pure gold countless times, both openly and covertly, and even went so far as to release the information about pure gold so that all CP0s could see it, but it still found nothing after all these years.

I didn't expect such good news to come out of nowhere.

"When Marshal Sengoku retires, I want to be the Navy Admiral!"

With pure gold in hand, Borsalino naturally began to negotiate with the Five Elders.

"No problem! We will persuade Sora to retire, promote Sengoku to become the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and appoint you as the admiral of the navy!"

The Five Elder Stars on the other end of the Den Den Mushi spoke with a grin.

The oldest among them is almost two hundred years old this year. Although he survived thanks to Lord Yim, what if Lord Yim becomes unhappy one day?

Not to mention that Borsalino only wanted to be the admiral of the navy, they could also consider becoming the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces.

It just so happens that Zhan Guo is also a meritorious person, so why not promote Zhan Guo to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and then give the position of the naval marshal to Borsalino, so that everyone is happy...

Well, as for Cyborg Sora who was shot even when he was lying down, it was because when he was the Admiral of the Navy, there was not even a shadow of pure gold.

"The Navy needs more military spending to make up for the losses in this war. At least 50 trillion berries are needed! And the military spending for the next two years must be increased by %!"

Borsalino took the opportunity to ask for a huge amount of money, knowing that the Five Elders would have to accept his blackmail in order to get the pure gold.

After this battle, the navy suffered heavy losses in both manpower and warships. Even the ship of the future admiral of the navy was sunk by the Whitebeard Pirates.

Not to mention that Marinford still needs a huge amount of repair costs. Such a huge loss must of course be compensated by finding a great victim... a great philanthropist.

As for the pure gold, it can be given to the Five Elders. Firstly, Borsalino can't use it for the time being, and secondly, given Dragon's personality, he must have more pure gold in his hands.

Of course, the most important point is that pure gold is not a consumable. Now that it has been given to the Five Elders, to put it bluntly, it is just kept in their hands, and sooner or later it will return to Borsalino.

"Too much! You want too much! Five hundred billion berries at most. Five trillion is impossible. Even if I give you all the gold in the sky this year, it won't be enough!"

The Five Elders on the other end of the Den Den Mushi seemed to be frightened by Borsalino's huge mouth. Even though they were still immersed in the ecstasy of obtaining pure gold, they had to force themselves to regain their sanity and bargain with Borsalino.

"Five hundred billion is too little! Let's each take a step back and go to two trillion! No bargaining!"

Borsalino knew that his huge appetite had frightened the Five Elders, but the Five Elders were also too harsh in bargaining.

According to the price they offered, the navy would have no money left after repairing Marinford and building a few more warships. This kind of attempt to get something for free must not be tolerated.

"...Okay, but we want you to deliver the pure gold to Mary Geoise in person, and there must be no mistakes!"

The Five Elders finally accepted Borsalino's offer, and the only thing on their minds now was the pure gold that brought them hope for eternal life.

If he hadn't been worried that the CP organization's agents were not strong enough to protect the pure gold and that something unexpected might happen on the way to Marijoa, he would have asked Borsalino to hand the pure gold over to the agents long ago.

"That's settled then. I'll go help Marshal Sengoku get rid of the Whitebeard Pirates first..."

Borsalino said with satisfaction that although in a sense he was actually richer than the Five Elders, spending his own money was not as satisfying as fleecing the Five Elders and the World Government.

Besides, the funds from Tesoro will be of great use to Borsalino in the future.

The gold obtained from Sky Island is also used to issue new currency, and recently it has been added to be linked to the Dimension Coin.

The only things that really came in handy... were dividends from shares in the many industries that Borsalino had invested in, including the World Economic News.

The problem is that not all partners are as self-aware as Morgans, and there are often idiots who want to embezzle Borsalino's small money without knowing the consequences.

Fortunately, little Nami would be able to find out quickly, and then Borsalino would come to collect the debt and take the other party's small amount of money as well.

"Just protect the pure gold and let the CP agents go!"

The Five Elders spoke very coldly, unless it was Drokas before the rebellion.

Otherwise, a hundred CP agents would not be as safe as one Borsalino in protecting pure gold.

Especially the rebellion of Drokas made the Five Elders alert. In CP0, there is a Drokas who betrayed for pure gold. Will there be a second or third guy who covets pure gold?

In the face of the hope of eternal life, even CP agents are not trustworthy.

On the contrary, a navy like Borsalino who knows nothing is more trustworthy.

"Oh... did you hear that? The Five Elders asked you to... ahem, go kill Whitebeard!"

Borsalino didn't even think about killing Whitebeard. To him, CP agents and pirates were equally annoying.

Letting CP agents fight with pirates is double the fun~

Dozens of CP agents surrounding Borsalino fell silent, feeling that they were being targeted by Admiral Kizaru.

With their strength, they besieged Whitebeard, and Whitebeard gave them face and killed them all with one punch.

If you don't give them face, they will be killed instantly with one punch, in every sense of the word.

Even the leading CP0 agent, looking at Whitebeard's fist which was as big as a millstone, didn't think he could withstand a single punch from Whitebeard.

"Admiral Kizaru, our primary responsibility should still be to protect you first..."

The CP agents tried hard to force a smile on their stiff faces, while in their hearts they cursed a certain CP agent who was said to have offended Borsalino.

Don’t they know who can afford to offend and who can’t? As a result, they are targeted by Admiral Kizaru every day.

"If you guys don't go, I'll go myself..."

Borsalino said this but his feet didn't move at all. However, what made the CP agents speechless was that his palm was already on the microphone of Den Den Mushi.

This is almost equivalent to threatening them openly. If they don't go, the Five Elders will personally order them to go. However, then they will not be the only ones who will be in trouble.

"Po...Lord Borsalino, I used to follow Lord Stusi..." Just when the CP agents were in grief, a petite female agent with a high ponytail and wearing a white mask spoke nervously.

Strictly speaking, she had only received training from Stussy, and was originally going to be sent to Happy Street as an undercover agent.

As a result, she failed all the items except combat and was directly eliminated by Stussy. Of course... the female agent just said that she used to follow Stussy, which was not a lie.

"Oh, then you stay and protect me and Chun Jin. What are you guys still standing there for? Why don't you go and send them off?"

Borsalino nodded. He and Stussy were old friends and he visited the restaurant at least eight or ten times a year, so he naturally had to give Stussy some face.

Poor remaining CP agents, seeing that Borsalino had already picked up the microphone, dared not delay any longer and could only bite the bullet and rush towards the direction where Whitebeard was.

At least now we have Marshal Warring States leading the charge, and they are just playing supporting roles on the side. Maybe they still have a chance to survive.

"Air shock!"

"Shock wave!"

However, before the CP agents could get close to the battlefield between Whitebeard and Marshal Sengoku.

The two big guys who could dominate the battlefield suddenly faced off against each other.

'boom! ’

The CP agents who had already rushed into the battlefield were wiped out by the aftermath of the fight. Even the leading CP0 was no exception and died unsteadily.

At this time, Marinford had fallen into complete chaos. There were navy and pirates, navy and revolutionary army, navy and jailbroken prisoners, and even pirates and prisoners who escaped from Impel Down. When enemies met, they were extremely jealous of each other and started fighting for no apparent reason.

Hundreds of thousands of people turned every piece of land in Marinford into a battlefield.

Even the residential areas were not spared, but fortunately the navy had evacuated the residents here before the execution began.

Only the building of the Marine Headquarters was firmly defended by the Marines and was not attacked by the pirates.

In such a chaotic battlefield, both sides could no longer clearly realize the strength of the enemy. There were groups of marines charging at the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, and there were ordinary pirates who got carried away and went looking for trouble with the Seven Warlords of the Sea or even the admirals of the navy.

"Mr. Borsalino, Sen Taomaru and the Pacifist troops have arrived at the designated location!"

Nami, wearing pure white leather boots, ran to Borsalino under the protection of the maid Baby-5.

Compared to the area around the execution platform which had become a ruin, the area around Borsalino was the safest area in the entire Marinford.

At this moment, in the square near the execution platform, Garp, Dragon, Akainu, Marco, Ace and Luffy were divided into two groups and fighting each other. Anyone with weaker strength would not survive more than three seconds.

"Then let them begin!"

Borsalino spoke very calmly.

Now Marshal Sengoku is busy exchanging ideas on physical skills with Whitebeard, and probably doesn't have the extra energy to give orders. Naturally, it is Borsalino who will command the naval science forces directly under him.

"Yes! Zhan Taomaru, prepare to start fighting!"

Nami quickly contacted Sen Taomaru who was on standby. She had no good feelings towards pirates. If Borsalino had not arrived, her adoptive mother Bell-mère would have probably died at the hands of the fish-man pirate Dragon.

"Got it! Big sister! Everyone attack!"

Sen Taomaru, who had already deployed the pacifist troops outside of Marinford, responded loudly.

Then he put away the Den Den Mushi and gave orders to the rows of pacifists who looked exactly like Bartholomew Kuma.

Although Marinford has become a mess now, the main force of the navy is generally on the inside of Marinford, while the main force of the "coalition" is on the outside.

The arrival of the pacifist troops will form a two-pronged attack with the navy, which will definitely give the pirates a huge "surprise".

Following a command from Zhan Taomaru, dozens of Pacifists began to advance into the bay. They were equipped with laser cannons developed by Vegapunk, and their destructive power was quite amazing, comparable to the main guns of warships.

More importantly, the Pacifist, who was created based on Bartholomew Kuma's body, has excellent defense itself, and ordinary pirates can't even break through its defense.

From the moment it was designed, the enemy it targeted was the big pirates whose bounty exceeded 100 million berries!
In other words... ordinary pirates with bounties of less than 100 million berries are generally unlikely to pose a threat to pacifists.

Of course, behind such excellent performance is a cost that would make even the Warring States marshals bleed.

The cost of each Pacifist is comparable to that of a main battleship. Only prodigals like the navy can afford it, and only wealthy men like the World Government can afford to support such a prodigal navy.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The pirates in the bay and on the square were still fighting the navy to death, but a series of explosions were heard behind them.

When the confused pirates turned around, they found that they were blocked from behind by enemies of unknown origin.

Those terrifying enemies who looked exactly like Tyrant Bear, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, were constantly annihilating the pirates in front of them in an almost straightforward manner.

The Revolutionary Army and the prisoners who escaped from Impel Down were also within their targets. Within five minutes of the Pacifists joining the battle, more than three digits of pirates had already died at their hands.

"Wow! What kind of monsters are these!"

"Fight back! Fight back quickly!"

"Damn it! We can't let them go any further! These monsters want to block our retreat!"

……

The pirates are also trying to resist.

The laser cannon developed by imitating Borsalino's Pika Pika Nomi is incredibly powerful. Except for the powerful cadres, ordinary pirates are nothing but trash who can be killed in one blow in front of them.

You have to know that this is a pirate from the Whitebeard Pirates. If he is placed in the first half of the Grand Line and the four seas, he is probably stronger than many captains of pirate groups.

"Get out of the way! Leave these guys to me!"

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Sea Knight Jinbei, who was rescued from the escorted naval warship by the Revolutionary Army, stood up.

Although Borsalino did not use heavy force, Jinbe's injuries were still quite serious. In particular, in order to prevent Jinbe from escaping after waking up, Stoloberry did not even let the military doctor treat Jinbe's injuries.

If he hadn't been rescued by the revolutionary army's doctors, his life would have been in danger.

Fortunately, the doctors of the Revolutionary Army were very skilled. They not only cured Jinbe's injuries, but also restored his combat effectiveness to a considerable degree.

"Gun Wave·Rain of Guns!"

As a grandmaster of Fish-Man Karate, Jinbei simply scooped up a handful of sea water in the bay and unleashed a firepower comparable to or even exceeding that of a heavy machine gun.

Countless water jets turned the nearest Pacifist into a sieve. A Pacifist worth a warship fell to the ground with black smoke.

When Zhan Taomaru saw this scene, his expression did not change at all.

He very simply commanded the pacifists to avoid Jinbe and continue attacking other pirates.

Even though these big guys look exactly like Bartholomew Kuma, they are nothing more than big toys in front of strong men of the level of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Sentaomaru's main task is to command the pacifists to cooperate with the headquarters navy to attack the pirates, rather than engage in a meaningless fight with Jinbe, one of the removed Shichibukai.

"What's going on? Why are there so many bears?! What the hell are you doing?"

Having been staying in the deep sea prison, Ivankov naturally knew nothing about the Navy's pacifist plan, and naturally had never seen a pacifist in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Seeing so many Tyrant Bears at this time, I was almost scared to death.

If it's a one-on-one fight, he can still fight the bear, but if dozens of them come at him together, I'm afraid even Dorag won't be able to withstand it.

The Tyrant Bear that was fighting with Ivankov did not react at all, but just kept attacking with an expressionless face. However, such attacks seemed to be a let-down compared to the bear's true strength.

However, no matter how Ivankov shouted, the bear did not react at all, not even giving him a look, which made Ivankov very angry.

"All of you, follow me! We can't let those monsters cut off our retreat!"

Flower Sword Vista called over a few powerful pirates and prepared to kill those pacifists who were in the way.

The Whitebeard Pirates are already at a disadvantage compared to the navy in terms of military strength. If they are attacked from both sides by the pacifists, everyone might really die in Marinford.

"You can't escape! Whitebeard! Sakaski will kill Phoenix Marco and Fire Fist Ace in no time!"

Marshal Sengoku already knew that Borsalino had obtained the pure gold, so he no longer had any worries. Even if he died in this battle and the navy suffered heavy losses, the Five Elders would continue to support the navy for the sake of the pure gold.

So now Marshal Sengoku only wants to do one thing, and that is to try his best to keep Whitebeard, or at least not let him escape too easily.

"Gulala! This is ridiculous. How could my son die at the hands of a guy like Akainu?"

Whitebeard laughed loudly without fear.

Marco has rescued Ace. Now all they have to do is get rid of that bastard Akainu and they will be able to find a chance to escape from the Marine Headquarters.

Originally, Whitebeard was mentally prepared to die in the Marine Headquarters, Marinford, as a remnant of the old era.

But who could have thought that Dragon was such a powerful ally and his sons were so capable. If he didn't have to die, Whitebeard would certainly want to accompany his sons for a few more years.

However, it turned out that the difference in strength was not enough to be made up by numbers, and Ace and Luffy's assistance was only slightly better than nothing for Marco.

The main reason was still Ace. Ace, who had been imprisoned for several months, was not in a very good condition.

Although Vice Admiral Garp often visits him...but it is a bit of a daydream to expect Vice Admiral Garp to be careful enough to pay attention to Ace's nutrition.

In addition, the compatibility between the Flame-Flame Fruit and the Magma Fruit is too bad. Even if Ace has tried his best, he can't help Marco much.

"The dog eats the red lotus!"

Akainu has gradually taken control of the situation with his rich experience from hundreds of battles.

He even began to regard Ace and Luffy as Marco's weaknesses, repeatedly attacking the enemy and forcing Marco to rescue Ace and Luffy, and then taking the opportunity to find Marco's flaws.

As long as Marco can be defeated, even if Ace and Luffy join forces, they will be no match for Akainu.

"Immortal Thistle!"

Marco himself knew very well that he couldn't fall into Akainu's rhythm, but he couldn't just watch Ace and Ace's brother get hurt.

Marco, who had blocked another lava attack, could already feel that his strength was almost exhausted.

It is not an easy task to fight against a strong enemy like Akainu, not to mention that he has to protect Ace and Luffy, and both his body and mind have reached their limits.

"Let everything burn to ashes! Big fire!"

Akainu could naturally see Marco's weakness, so when Marco finally blocked his attack, Akainu's carefully prepared deadly killing move was revealed.

The hot lava that was compressed to the extreme gushed out from Akainu's right fist like a volcanic eruption!

A hill-sized block of ice can be easily crushed with just one strike!

Now, facing him are the young trio including Marco, Ace and Luffy.

Even though they were more than ten meters away, they could clearly feel the scorching heat of the lava falling like the sun, which made the trio's skin hot.

This is a full-strength attack from a top-level strong man!
If it was Marco in his prime, or if Ace and Luffy were given a few more years, the three of them would be confident enough to stop it.

But now they can only watch themselves being swallowed by the lava. Ace was filled with great regret at this moment. If it hadn't been for Luffy coming to save him, Marco and Luffy wouldn't have died!

"Haha, this is really embarrassing..."

Marco smiled bitterly and was about to use up his last bit of strength to try to use the power of the Phoenix to make a final effort, at least to save the lives of Ace and Luffy.

But at this moment, a large amount of yellow sand rolled in!

A huge sand cover formed on the trio's heads, and on the surface it looked as if the trio were buried alive in the sand.

'boom! ’

Akainu's attack hit the sand shield, and a large amount of sand was quickly melted into liquid, but more sand was continuously replenished to the sand shield.

If the burning continued at this rate, not even Akainu could guarantee that he would be able to burn through the sand shield and kill the three extremely evil people.

"Crocodile!!"

Akainu's eyes were fixed on the Sand Crocodile, with only half of its body floating in the air. If this damn guy stayed awake for a moment, he would be sure to kill those three little pirates.

But now there is Crocodile added to the trio, and to be honest, even Akainu is a little overwhelmed.

(End of this chapter)
