Chapter 216 Support
However, to be on the safe side, after Bajes' death, Kaido specifically reminded Charlotte Linlin not to ruin their only chance of turning things around because of a momentary impulse.
"I don't need you to remind me of this kind of thing!"
Charlotte Lingling casually threw Badgers' aging body off the cliff. The height of ten thousand meters was the best place to destroy the body.
Even if a god came, it would be impossible to restore the meat paste that fell from a height of 10,000 meters to the ground or into the sea to its original appearance.
"Humph! That's better. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I won't be polite to you, Lingling!"
Kaido's tone suddenly became unusually cold and hard, but both Charlotte Linlin and the Three Calamities following Kaido had long been accustomed to Kaido's moodiness.
Moreover, Kaido the Beast in this state is more reassuring. At least we don’t have to worry about Kaido suddenly breaking down and crying at the critical moment.
"You are the one, Kaido. Don't forget who was the one holding you back in the first place."
Charlotte Linlin retorted unhappily, and seeing that the two Pirate Emperors were about to quarrel again, Jin had no choice but to step forward and interrupt.
"Brother Kaido, Sister Lingling, we have to contact the people in the first team first. We don't know where they are right now. If they advance too fast, we may not be able to wait until all of us are on Marijoa..."
When Jin spoke, he also felt a little dreamy. Not long ago, he had to hide his identity to avoid the World Government discovering his secret as a remnant of the Lunalia tribe.
As a result, not much time had passed, and he had already set foot on the holy land of Marijoa, which had only appeared in nightmares. If everything went well, he might even have a chance to avenge his clan's blood feud with his own hands. All this was due to the arrival of Boss Boros.
He would be willing to give his life just to give Jin the chance to avenge the Lunaria people.
However, the kindness of Brother Kaido is equally irreplaceable. Without Brother Kaido, there would be no him today. But now Brother Kaido is plotting to assassinate Boss Boros. Caught in the middle, Jin only regrets that he did not eat the Clone Fruit in the first place, so he could not split himself into two halves to follow Boss Boros and Brother Kaido respectively.
"Mom, mom, are you really not going to consider changing jobs? Jin, I can marry my most beloved daughter to you..."
Charlotte Linlin spoke with ill intentions, but before she finished her words, Kaido's mace came smashing over with a fierce sound of breaking wind.
‘Clang! ’
Charlotte Linlin, who was well prepared, swung the saber Napoleon and steadily blocked Kaido's attack.
Pitch-black lightning exploded on maces and sabers, creating countless cracks on the ground of the entire terminal. Several unlucky guys who had just walked out of the bubble pods and had not yet had time to enter the safe area were shocked by the momentum of the battle between the two pirate emperors and lost consciousness and fell off the cliff.
"Don't joke around, Lingling, or I'll really kill you!"
Kaido growled with red eyes and gritted teeth, saying that King was willing to sacrifice his own life to repay Kaido's kindness, but for Kaido, King was also his indispensable right hand.
No, in a sense, Kaido would rather lose an arm like Red Hair than lose Jin!
"Brother Kaido..."
Jin was also deeply moved by Kaido's attention to him, but this made him even more autistic. On one side was Kaido, the big brother who had recognized him and saved his life, and on the other side was Boros, the big brother who gave him the opportunity to avenge his people.
No matter which side he stood on, it would be ungrateful, and choosing to be neutral was even more embarrassing. Jhin was so conflicted that he was about to break apart.
The brief confrontation between the two pirate emperors could not be hidden from the powerful men who were in Marijoa at the time, whether it was Blaze who was trapped in an ice prison by Esdeath, or Iron-Fisted Ryulu who was slaughtering high-level fighters on the city wall.
Or maybe Aramaki, who was besieged by Minato and the four Impure World Ninjas, and the Seraphim who were ordered to hunt down pirates, all noticed the arrival of the two Pirate Emperors.
"Beasts and Big Mom..."
Cyborg Kong, who failed to get the command of the army and was forced to stay in the command headquarters, suddenly stood up and tried hard to suppress the smile on his lips. He was already looking forward to seeing the tragic scene of Iron Fist Ryuluo being beaten by the two pirate emperors.
Although when Kaido and Charlotte Linlin became Pirate Emperors, Cyborg Sora, who once served as the Navy Admiral, had been defeated by Red Count Redfield and retired in a rather shameful manner.
But at that time, Cyborg Sora was also paying close attention to these two powerful pirates. Even if Iron Fist Ryuluo was a good fighter, he could not be the opponent of the two pirate emperors.
However, Cyborg Kong was not just gloating. Based on his understanding of the Five Elders, it would not be long before he would be ordered to go to the front line for support.
"... Never mind. Just consider it as giving that stubborn old man some face."
Thinking that the time was about right, Cyborg Sora suddenly stood up, and under the grateful gazes of the army staff who also knew about the arrival of the two Pirate Emperors, he rushed towards the city wall using moon steps.
Less than ten seconds after Cyborg Sora set off, the Den Den Mushi at the Army Command Headquarters began to ring.
"I'm Maz-sang, let's ask Steel Bone Sora to answer the phone..."
The Den Den Mushi had just been connected, and before the army staff officer who answered the phone could introduce himself, a very urgent voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"Ah? Yes! Your Excellency the Five Elders! Marshal Kong has already left for the frontline to provide support. Do we need to urgently notify him to come back?"
The army staff officer who answered the phone reported very nervously that he had never met big figures like the Five Elders in his life, and was afraid that he would be executed directly because of his disrespectful attitude.
Compared to the navy, which has a certain degree of self-reliance and even the World Government and the Five Elders can only interfere through high-level intervention, the army can be regarded as the system with the lowest status in the World Government system.
Even CP agents who were ordered around by naval generals had the right to give orders directly to the Army Headquarters.
Previously, Blaze dared to order the remnants of the Blackbeard Pirates around, which meant that he bullied Bugles and his gang because they were outsiders and were destined to be used as cannon fodder even if they joined CP0.
If it were the CP0 trained by the World Government itself, a mere Army General candidate would not be qualified to give them orders. It would be better to say that the opposite is the normal situation.
"…No need, you guys are doing great, keep going."
Maz-sensei on the other side of Den Den Mushi was also a little surprised that at the critical moment, Kong was willing to put aside past grudges and take the initiative to support Iron Fist Ryuluo. They were all ready to give Kong an order, but now it seems that Kong is worthy of being the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and his loyalty to the World Government is impeccable.
"Let's deal with the idiot who reported that ridiculous information later. Sora has proven his loyalty, and we can't let those who are loyal to the World Government feel disappointed."
After hearing Den Den Mushi's answer, Nasu Juro-sei, who felt a little relieved, made a suggestion.
Ever since the discovery of the Dark Matter Pirates, the Pirate Group has grown to its current size at an alarming rate right under the nose of the World Government. However, the CP organization's eyes and ears in the New World seem to have become deaf and blind, and are completely unaware of Boros' plan to recruit troops and attack Marijoa.
If the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates were not so conspicuous, they would not be able to hide it from the World Government even if they controlled the CP organization's intelligence network in the New World. I'm afraid the Five Elders would not have known who Boros was until they came knocking on their door.
While the Five Elders were busy deploying the battle to defend the holy land in shock and anger, they did not forget to order an investigation into the CP organization, and they were determined to find the damn spy!
Although Stussy, as CP0, has been operating in the New World for many years, especially with the help of Borsalino, he has not only become one of the giants in the underground world, but also controlled the CP organization's intelligence network in the New World.
But when the Five Elders personally ordered a thorough investigation, Stussy, the "local emperor" who ruled a corner of the CP organization in the New World, had no room for resistance.
After all, everything she has, including her own power, comes from the World Government.
Once he stood against the World Government, none of the things Stussy had relied on before would be reliable.
Fortunately, Stussy fled before the Five Elders gave the order, and destroyed a lot of intelligence before leaving. By the time CP0 sent by the Five Elders took over the intelligence network of the New World, they could not find much valuable information.
Even if they followed all the clues and unraveled the mystery, in the end they only got intelligence that had no actual evidence and was completely based on various inferences and guesses, pointing the finger at the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Steel Bone Sora.
"That's not necessary. Everything they have was given by us. Kong's loyalty is essentially just to protect his own interests. It's the CP organization that needs to be dealt with. They were manipulated by a mere android who is worse than a pariah..."
Saint Satan shook his head, his expression as cold as ever.
Even among the five high and mighty elder stars, Saint Satan is the most arrogant one. Even a commander-in-chief of the three armed forces like Kong is nothing more than a powerful inferior in the eyes of Saint Satan.
If it weren't for the fact that Cyborg Sora was still useful, Saint Satan would have directly ordered his elimination as soon as he received the intelligence that vaguely pointed to Cyborg Sora.
"After all this is over, let Spandine take charge of the rectification. CP0 has just recruited a lot of new people, so we can take this opportunity to replace all those guys who may have problems!"
The blond Peter Saint suggested that although the power and status of the Five Elders were equally supreme, Peter Saint, who was the youngest and came from a relatively weak family, had always been the last among the five.
If he could take advantage of this opportunity to reorganize CP0 and arrange a few more of his own people, it would also be a good opportunity for his faction.
Vochuli, who had some ideas in mind, did not say anything after hearing this. He stroked his beard and agreed to Saint Peter's proposal.
The competition among the Five Elder Stars requires special respect for dignity. Although Peter Saint's eagerness to eat is a little bit ugly, he has already taken the initiative to speak, and the other Five Elder Stars will not offend Peter Saint.
After all, power is just the icing on the cake for the Five Elders. Even if Saint Peter gained some advantage through Spandine's secret operation, it would not change his position as the bottom among the Five Elders.
"Even if Sora and Ryulu join forces, they can only stop the two so-called Pirate Emperors. If we want to destroy Boros and his Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates, it's time for the Knights of God and the Army of God to go out..."
Nasujuro Sei touched his chin uncertainly. If it were anyone else, as long as the Five Elders gave the order, even the commander-in-chief of the three armies would have to obey it.
However, the Knights of God are obviously an exception. This knight order, composed entirely of the elites among the Celestial Dragons, has a very special positioning. They are the only group qualified to approve the Celestial Dragons.
In comparison, although the Five Elders can make the Celestial Dragons submit to them, they do not have the right to directly deprive a Celestial Dragon of his life.
Especially the supreme commander of the Knights of God of this generation, Ancient Saint Figalando Green. Excluding Im and the Five Elders who never show up, Ancient Saint Green is the man with the highest status in Marijoa and even in the whole world.
Sometimes the Five Elders even had to make concessions when facing Ancient Saint Green, especially Saint Nasujuro, who once commanded the Army of God. Before becoming one of the Five Elders, he could even be considered a subordinate of Ancient Saint Green.
If it weren't for the fact that Ancient Saint Green had no interest in power, he would definitely have a place among the Five Elder Stars.
"Ancient Saint Green has his own ideas, and Boros hasn't shown up yet."
Saint Maz spoke calmly. Even though his status among the Five Elder Stars was slightly higher, he was unwilling to take the initiative to offend Ancient Saint Green.
The conflicts and contradictions within the Five Elders should at least be decent. If you anger Ancient Saint Green, he will really come to your door and beat you up.
Fortunately, over the years, Ancient Saint Green's temper has improved a lot as he has grown older. Although he is still as arrogant as ever, he won't overturn the table and start a fight at every turn.
"Well, if it doesn't work, we'll have to take over first..."
Nasujuro Sei subconsciously stroked the samurai sword in his arms. When was the last time he used the First Generation of Kitetsu to kill someone?
"When the time comes, I will be the first to take action and let those inferiors know what will happen if they dare to disobey the superiors!"
Saint Satan snorted coldly. In his opinion, the World Government had been too soft and preferential to the untouchables in the past, which led to them having a lot of unrealistic delusions.
In a sense, the madman Boros and his Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates did a good thing, giving the World Government and him a chance to correct past mistakes.
After this war is over, if he proposes to suppress the forces that are not directly under the World Government, I think no one will object.
Thinking of this, Saint Satan's mood suddenly improved a lot.
