Chapter 296 Rayleigh carries the flag!
"Back off first!"
Shanks led the Red Hair Pirates and they all retreated quickly.
The rest of the people could only do the same.
Even Dorag could feel the energy gathering in front of him, so he retreated slowly and cautiously.
Of course his sight was still missing.
In the sight of everyone, members of the Five Elder Stars began to offer up their mythical beast forms one after another.
In addition to the huge warthog, there is also the skeleton horse that looks like a hill.
The giant flaming bird that could have soared high in the sky was now flapping its huge wings frantically on the ground.
There was also the giant sandworm that once moved freely underground, but now it was like a stink bug, constantly swinging its strong body there.
Saint Maz, who lost his horns, offered up half of his huge spider body.
The large amount of spider silk on the surface of the body was swaying randomly, and it had lost its original ferocious feeling. It was just like a messy ball of hair.
“They’re dying.”
Shanks' eyes were fixed on the Five Elders in front of him.
Although his biological father was not among them, Ancient Saint Green's status was no worse than these guys.
The Five Elders looked at the death scenes of these guys and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
He was even somewhat glad that Ancient Saint Green had been cursed with death. Perhaps there was still a possibility of traveling again in the future.
So there is no affection between the two of them, but he is his biological father after all, so how can he really not care?
"Don't think too much. You were very wise not to listen to Greengu's invitation and return to the Celestial Dragons."
Ben Beckman on the side comforted him softly.
Shanks nodded heavily, but still looked a little lost.
The Five Elders, who were once high and mighty, were wailing there.
Moreover, as they are all Devil Fruit users, they can naturally clearly feel that the Devil Fruit power in their bodies is rapidly dissipating and collapsing.
Even their original bodies were running slowly.
Their vitality and souls are also being devoured by an unknown force.
But if you look closely, you will find that these huge energies flow into the underground pits along the deep earth veins.
Finally, it entered into Im's body again.
Finally, accompanied by wailing, the Five Elders disappeared.
As long as the World Government collapses, the title of the Five Elder Stars will be submerged in the tide of history.
"These five guys are completely dead, but Boros might be in big trouble."
Kaido couldn't help but frown.
Even though Boros was able to suppress the brainless members and was always confident of winning.
But this is the power of the five Five Elder Stars gathered together.
What’s more, there is the terrifying combat power of the robot Im below.
Adding all these forces together, I'm afraid only God knows how powerful the robot Im below is.
Dragon and others used their observation Haki to observe the battle situation at the bottom of the pit with concern.
All they could do was wait, and there was no way they could get involved in the battlefield below.
Gradually, everyone felt heavy in their hearts, and the excitement they had just felt because of the news agency's events slowly faded.
Even Morgans had his eyes wide open, pacing around anxiously.
This is a sequelae of his long-term existence in human-beast form.
Even when facing the world in human form, he habitually moves as fast as a bird.
Even the arms sometimes wave gently.
Like a weird orc.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, a large number of pirates and combat forces from various forces arrived at the outskirts of the holy land of Marijoa.
Among them, two clearly distinct fleets were confronting each other.
Standing on the deck of one of the ships was Dalton, the former captain of the Drum Kingdom’s guard.
After the Drum Kingdom was defeated, the former king Walpo fled and the throne was finally inherited by Dalton.
However, with the unanimous approval of Dalton and the Chinese people, the original Drum Kingdom was officially renamed the Sakura Kingdom.
They have even established a special medical system in the country and are deeply loved by the people.
There are even wanderers who try to join the Sakura Kingdom from time to time.
"Walpo, what on earth do you want to do this time? I will never watch you continue to stand on the side of the World Government and help the evil!"
Dalton glared at Valpo across from him.
"Shut up, villain. You stole my country. What qualifications do you have to act so righteously here?"
On the other side, Valpo was extremely angry at this moment.
"You were just a captain of my guard before. You are just my dog."
"If I had known that you had two minds, I should have killed you right then!"
Seeing that his former captain of the guard had become the new king, while he himself had gone through a long period of wandering before establishing the new evil Dark Drum Kingdom, Walpo was furious.
"Valpo, your failure is inevitable. The people have long been fed up with you."
"I heard that you have established a dark empire again. Stop it now. Your path is doomed to fail."
Dalton had a sword on his waist and wore thick black armor, looking very majestic.
The conflict between the two cannot be reconciled.
Dalton and Valpo will have a fight sooner or later.
Walpo, the king of the evil Dark Drum Kingdom, took a deep breath.
"Shameless little thief, I am too lazy to continue to argue with you, but I must make it clear that I am here to criticize the World Government this time."
Valpo said this with gritted teeth, but he also made his position clear in time.
Because he had noticed that many pirates around were looking at him with bad intentions.
It is obvious that as long as he dares to say that he is still a firm supporter of the World Government, he will immediately be attacked by the public.
"Valpo, this is the first time I've seen you do something right."
Bolton exhaled slowly and spoke meaningfully.
At the same time, he felt very regretful in his heart.
If possible, he really wanted to completely destroy Valpo here.
After all, that guy's existence is not a good thing for the world.
"I didn't expect that this guy Valpo has become a lot smarter."
"It seems I have to find a way to deal with him slowly later."
Bolton muttered to himself.
At the same time, a pirate suddenly shouted loudly.
"Look, someone is coming with the pirate flag of the deceased Roger!"
Everyone turned their heads, and then a look of astonishment appeared on their faces. They saw a large ship approaching rapidly on the sea level in the distance.
Hanging on the mast was the special skull flag with two long curly golden beards that Roger once used.
This pirate flag is very consistent with the image of Roger himself.
In a way, it symbolizes Roger's favorite freedom and unfettered will.
It is no exaggeration to say that Whitebeard's later flag also referred to Roger's pirate flag to some extent.
However, in the entire ocean, only Roger, the Pirate King, is qualified to use the golden pirate flag.
"Who on earth dares to hang Roger's flag like this?"
“I really don’t know which arrogant guy did this. Is he really qualified to fly Roger’s flag?”
"This is a blasphemy against the former Pirate King. I will never allow this to happen!"
"Let's take down this arrogant guy together!"
Many pirates at the scene began to make noise and looked angrily at the approaching ship.
Roger was the Pirate King back then, and he single-handedly commanded all the pirates in the ocean.
There are more and more pirates in the ocean nowadays, and no one wants to see the emergence of a new Pirate King.
No one is willing to obey the call of one person again.
However, as the ship continued to approach and everyone saw the figure standing on the deck, everyone fell silent.
The guy standing on the deck had gray hair, wore a pair of glasses, had a long red cape behind him, and had a bright smile on his face.
"It's Rayleigh!"
"It's Pluto Rayleigh!"
Suddenly a pirate exclaimed, and then everyone couldn't help but cheer.
If there is anyone in this world who is qualified to carry Roger's banner, then that person is definitely the former deputy of the Pirate King, Pluto Rayleigh.
What's more, Rayleigh has been staying in the Chamboree Islands for many years and coating passing ships.
And that guy also witnessed the rise of many new generation pirates in the process.
It is no exaggeration to say that Rayleigh is definitely one of the most respected elders by many pirates.
This is also the real reason why rip-off bars can continue to exist in a world hub like the Sabaody Archipelago.
Because everyone had enough respect for Rayleigh, no one ever started a fight.
Otherwise, with the extremely hot tempers of many pirates, they would have already become angry when they were blackmailed.
"Hahaha, little guys, I dyed my hair when I came here, but I didn't expect the sea breeze to be so strong that half of the black hair I dyed fell off."
Rayleigh touched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly. His black hair, which had already faded halfway, stood out particularly at this moment.
"Senior Rayleigh, I'm glad you can come!"
"Yes, only you are qualified to lead us towards the World Government!"
"We are willing to follow your guidance!"
The pirates spoke up one after another.
On the eve of the most likely complete collapse of the world government, they really need a leader to lead them in the charge.
"Oh, where does my old man get such a big face?"
Rayleigh laughed but was not willing to take over the banner.
Today he just wanted to act as a thug and personally sound the funeral horn for the World Government.
"Rayleigh, if you are the one who carries the horn, then we are willing to follow your arrangements."
A hearty laugh came from the direction of the seashore, and a huge fleet was seen coming towards them.
Standing on the deck was none other than the former King Cobra, who had long ago given up the throne.
As the former ruler of the Kingdom of Alabasta, he has represented his country many times to attend the highest-level meetings of the World Government.
But later he had already given this position to Princess Vivian.
Cobra expressed great satisfaction seeing his daughter shining on the throne and working hard for the entire country.
Now, his daughter needs to stay in the country to take charge of the government, while he personally leads the expedition team to the holy land of Marijoa.
"It's Cobra. I didn't expect you to be willing to leave your country."
Pluto Rayleigh couldn't help but burst out laughing.
When Roger's pirate group was at its peak, Kubra was just a young man at that time.
The two sides had brief contact for a period of time.
It is no exaggeration to say that Cobra is indeed a very qualified king.
Of course, this guy was able to lead his family successfully out of the ranks of the Celestial Dragons.
And afterwards, he never envied the so-called treatment of the Celestial Dragons.
This alone was enough to make Rayleigh look at him differently.
"Mr. Rayleigh, I'm afraid no one would want to miss today's grand event."
"It is indeed time for the world government to disappear completely."
Cobra nodded slightly, his face looking extremely serious.
The fact that he came here today on behalf of the Kingdom of Alabasta has already proven that they are on a path with no way out.
If the World Government cannot be overthrown, the Kingdom of Alabasta will definitely face a catastrophic disaster.
"But I don't want to take everyone to death."
Rayleigh shook his head slightly, his refusal still very obvious.
"After spending decades in the Sabaody Archipelago, I have long lost my original sharpness."
"I can sacrifice my life for the promise we made, but I don't want to bring everyone along with me."
Rayleigh narrowed his eyes, there was no smile on his face, but his words were gentle but with a hint of power.
The atmosphere in the field froze. Just when many pirates had begun to secretly grow dissatisfied, the sea surface not far away suddenly began to shake violently.
Then everyone saw a small boat coming towards this place at the speed of an arrow.
"Who is this guy?"
"This guy's speed is too fast. How does he do it?"
Many pirates couldn't help but open their eyes wide and look at the small boat coming so fast.
"Rayleigh, what if I'm included in the mix?"
A slightly old voice sounded, and then the sea surface began to boil violently.
Under the gaze of everyone, a huge shadow suddenly emerged from under the sea.
And the small boat that was sailing fast on the sea just now was right above this huge shadow.
The man was old and his skin was very wrinkled, but his eyes were very sharp.
"Why are you here too, old man? Kurokas."
A smile appeared on Rayleigh's face, and he seemed to be in a much better mood.
"Everyone is here now, so how can I hide on the red dirt road forever?"
Kurokas spoke slowly, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
