Chapter 713 Collector
...
"Thief hahahaha!"
"I'll take the Admiral's head!"
Gel performed a set of sword techniques that dropped from the sky and shouted loudly in the air.
"Stop looking down on me! You're just a sneak attack bastard!"
Aokiji swung the ice blade in his hand with all his strength. He had a cold personality and he hadn't been so angry for a long time!
"Come on! Then let me defeat you head-on and see what else you have to say! Go to hell, Navy!"
Gelli split Huashan with a heavy blow!
"Ahhhh!"
Aokiji swung his sword with all his strength to block!
"Clang!!"
Sparks fly!
The two men's weapons collided violently, and Aokiji was like a stake driven into the ground. The ground beneath his feet collapsed instantly! It sank in circles from the center outward!
The hard stone pavement was like the surface of water at this moment, with a fallen stone causing layers of "ripples" to spread outward continuously!
"Ice Age!"
Aokiji gritted his teeth and held on. He stepped hard with his right foot, and white transparent frost spread out from under his feet, instantly freezing the entire ground!
"Hahaha! You are so weak, General Kuzan! The justice in your heart doesn't seem to be firm! There is no way you can defeat me like this!"
Gel laughed and taunted, still looking at ease.
"Damn it! Stop the nonsense! If I want to lecture you, you better defeat me first!"
Aokiji shouted loudly with an unhappy look on his face.
"You're so anxious! You're so anxious! It seems like my words have touched a sore spot for you!"
Gel increased the strength of his words and hands at the same time!
"asshole!!"
"Crack! Click!"
Aokiji frowned, and tiny cracks began to appear on the ice blade in his hand!
Gel exerted force and the ice blade was completely shattered. Aokiji quickly jumped back to avoid the falling sword.
"Boom!"
A deep groove was created in the hard ice on the ground, and the crack extended all the way to Aokiji's feet!
...
Behind the battlefield.
Bellemer loudly asked Coby beside him.
“Ahhh? Shouldn’t the war be over? Why did it turn out like this?!
"I don't know either! Whitebeard has died in the battle, and Ace, who was to be publicly executed, has escaped. What is the purpose of this war now? There should be no point in continuing it, right? Why not stop? Why should there be more sacrifices?"
Coby held his head in confusion.
...
Holy Land Marie Gioia.
Pangu City.
The five old men looked at the projection on the wall calmly.
"We have been paying attention to the Revolutionary Army, but when did this Brother Army emerge?"
The five elders with mustaches were the first to speak with a frown on their faces.
"What do you think of the development of the situation?"
"What brother army? I know it's made up as soon as I heard it. However, the strength of these people is worth noting."
"And I've heard of Tony Tony Chopper, but it shouldn't be a problem if he's not "D."
"That's right! The Pirate King's son Gol D. Ace, and Garp's grandson Monkey D. Luffy! They are the ones we should focus on!"
"Yes!"
"I have to admit that this sea is still full of talented people!"
The bearded Five Elders stroked his beard and sighed.
"Haha, when has the sea ever lacked talented people? It's just that, just like the so-called strongest man in the world, Whitebeard, they were all conceited when they were young, and they believed that they could change the times and the world with their own strength! Ridiculous! In the end, they will understand that everything they have done is just a meaningless struggle, not even a decent wave. The world is still the same world! It will not change because of any of them!"
The five elder stars with mustaches sneered.
"But how did that reckless Douglas Barrett get out? What on earth is going on in Impel Down? That guy doesn't play by the rules, so we have to be on guard!"
Looking out the window at Mary Geoise, which had taken more than ten years to rebuild, the bald Five Elders gritted his teeth and said angrily.
Most of the Celestial Dragons were killed or injured in that terrorist attack. Although they have been encouraging childbirth since then, for some reason, the population of purebred Celestial Dragons has not increased even after more than a decade. Even the Five Elders cannot figure out what went wrong.
(On the other side, Tezulo of the Golden City looked at the increasing number of Celestial Dragon figures in the collection room with a perverted smile of satisfaction.)
"this…"
In the hall, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Gang Gukong, stood aside like a minion, with a humble expression as if he had caused a disaster.
"Magellan has just informed me of the situation. I came here to report this emergency to the five adults. The situation is like this..."
He evaded the main point and recounted what happened in Impel Down. After he finished speaking, looking at the depressing atmosphere in the hall, Kong Gu couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.
"Blackbeard Teach?"
"Yes! The Blackbeard Pirates attacked Impel Down, and the prison warden, Shiryu Ame, rebelled. They released the prisoners on the sixth floor! Barrett must have taken the opportunity to escape as well!"
"Damn Blackbeard! Wasn't that guy the pirate that Sengoku specially recommended and just took over King Crocodile's position as a Shichibukai?"
"How stupid! It seems that this guy had planned this all along, but Sengoku didn't even notice it? As the head of the navy, he was completely manipulated by a little pirate! It seems that his career as a navy admiral has come to an end!"
Satan was so angry that he used his crutch to break a tile on the floor.
"My Lord Five Elders, Sengoku was negligent because he kept the final battle with the Whitebeard Pirates a secret. Now that it has happened, the most urgent task is to minimize the possible losses!"
Ganggukong gritted his teeth and defended his younger brother.
"All the prisoners in the sixth level of the Infinite Hell in Impel Down City have been released. Those guys are extremely vicious villains. I have already prepared their bounties in advance. Many of them originally had bounties at the level of more than ten years ago or even decades ago. I think it is necessary to increase their bounties. This is their new bounty amount after the increase. Please review it, my five lords. If there is no problem, I will notify the people below to release these new bounties. This matter must be made known to more countries and people as soon as possible so that they can take precautions..."
Gang Gukong took out a thick stack of bounty warrants and placed them respectfully on the table.
The bald Five Elders reached out and grasped the hilt of the knife.
"brush!"
A flash of knife light passed by! The samurai sword was still in the scabbard, but the bounty order on the table had been neatly split in half.
"Ah?! Nasujuro-sei, what are you doing?"
Gang Gukong frowned, looking aggrieved. He had sorted out this with great difficulty, but this old man destroyed it without even looking at it.
The bald Five Elders slowly raised their heads. The reflection from the lenses prevented Steel Bone Soong from seeing his expression. He only heard him speak in an unquestionable tone.
"To make this known to the world? I think it is extremely inappropriate!"
"But... those criminals are powerful and brutal... if they are unprepared, it will be a huge disaster for the people of those member states."
Steel Bone Sora quietly expressed his opinion.
"So what? Have you ever thought about how much impact this matter would have on the reputation of our World Government if it were made public?"
The bald Five Elders said in a cold tone.
"I agree! This matter should be kept secret and must not be made known to the world!"
"I agree!"
The other four also spoke up to express their agreement.
“Ah, this…!”
Cyborg Kong was shocked.
Even though he knew that the Five Elders would never care about the lives of ordinary people, Kong still didn't expect that they would choose to sit back and watch such a big thing for the sake of the World Government's face, and even hide the news from the world.
"Alright, Kong, go down and arrange to strengthen the defense of the holy land! We must not allow vicious incidents like the ones that happened more than a decade ago to happen again!"
The blond Five Elders dismissed him.
"Cyborg Sora?!"
"Ah? Yes! Master Five Elder Stars!"
Steel Bone bowed and left silently.
"The threat posed by the revolutionary army is growing. Not only is their military strength dangerous, but their ideology is also dangerous. Many kings and nobles of member states are afraid and have asked us for help!"
"We can't just leave it alone any longer, but I think we can bring it up as an agenda item at the next World Conference. It wouldn't be a bad thing to make these member states feel a little bit of a sense of crisis."
"agree!"
"Seconded!"
"Then let's decide!"
