"Has the newspaper been published?"
"That bastard Morgans, does he want to die?"
Upon receiving this news, the five old men in the Holy Land were immediately enraged, wishing they could rip Morgans' head off right then and there.
But they also knew that this guy couldn't be killed.
After all... their world government still needs the other side's news agency to help control public opinion.
"Regardless, this guy released such information without authorization and needs to be punished," Satan Saint said coldly.
"Seconded!"
The other four old guys had no objections to this.
Although they have a cooperative relationship with Morgans, it doesn't mean that Morgans can harass them at will.
This is a good opportunity to teach this bastard a lesson.
Let's save this arrogant guy from creating any more sensational news.
"Although the newspapers have already been sent out, as long as we can wipe out the entire Straw Hat Pirates, we can minimize the impact," Massaharan said. "Then, we can publish the news of the Straw Hat Pirates' deaths, letting the world clearly know the consequences of targeting the Celestial Dragons!!"
Upon hearing this, the other four fell silent.
Upon closer examination, what Mazsaint said wasn't entirely without merit.
Although the deaths of Celestial Dragons enraged them, they were equally willing to use their deaths to shock the world.
Although it may seem cold-blooded, it is the optimal solution.
As for whether the Straw Hat Pirates would run away... they hadn't even considered that question.
If even two admirals working together can't take down a group of rookies, then the navy is truly doomed.
After all... those are the top combat forces of the two Marine Headquarters!
Just then, the Den Den Mushi placed in front of Sacred Volcioli suddenly rang.
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Kaka~"
"I am from the Warring States period."
"Sengoku?" Sacred Vochu raised an eyebrow. "Has he finished dealing with the Straw Hat Pirates?"
Calling them at this time... means they must have already taken care of the extra people.
Sengoku paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Sorry, the Straw Hat Pirates have escaped."
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing what Sengoku said, the five old men were immediately enraged, their eyes seeming to spit fire.
In order to capture the Straw Hat Pirates, they specially dispatched two of the Marine Headquarters' top combatants, but... they still managed to let them escape?
What is the navy even good for?!
How could such a strong lineup allow a group of newcomers to escape?
"The Warring States period—I need an explanation!"
"That's right, you two admirals working together, how could you let them escape?"
Are all naval admirals useless?!
Maz was furious.
Back in Enies Lobby, that good-for-nothing Aokiji failed to capture the Straw Hat Pirates, allowing them to escape, which directly caused the World Government to lose face!
And now?
Kizaru and Akainu attacked together, yet the Straw Hat Pirates still managed to escape... Is that reasonable?
Is it possible that the heavens are favoring this pirate crew?
He doesn't believe it!
"Kizaru was saved by Rayleigh when he was fighting the Blood-Eyed Ninja," Sengoku said. "You should all know Rayleigh's strength. With him around, Kizaru really wouldn't be able to capture anyone."
The opponent's strength is in no way weaker than that of a Marine Admiral!
After all... he's the vice-captain of One Piece!
Hearing Sengoku's words, the group exchanged glances, and then Maz said, "Rayleigh is causing trouble again?"
If this guy is planning something big, it'll be really difficult to handle.
Who knows if this guy will cause some big news?
"No, he just thinks highly of the Straw Hat Pirates, so he stopped Kizaru," Sengoku said.
He had to explain this matter, otherwise the Five Elders might order Rayleigh's arrest.
But this is a very unwise thing to do and must be avoided.
"Is that so?"
?
Massahi breathed a sigh of relief. If they only had eyes for this group of pirates, then there wouldn't be any problems.
As long as this guy doesn't go out to sea again, everything will be fine; otherwise, something even more troublesome might happen.
"What about Akainu?" Sacred Heart asked. "Didn't he run into the Straw Hat Pirates?"
"According to Akainu's report, he blocked the Blood-Eyed Ninja, Xiyan."
"Click~"
Satan's face immediately contorted with rage, veins bulging, as he roared, "Then why did he still fail?"
Akainu was considered their most promising Marine Admiral.
The result...: This guy still hasn't caught the person he encountered?
Could that blood-eyed ninja possibly possess power comparable to a Marine Admiral?
The thought had barely crossed Satan's mind when he rejected it.
Judging from the battle situation on Enies Lobby, the enemy does not possess the combat strength of an admiral; otherwise, they would not have needed to use such a complex fighting style.
After all... for someone at the general level, destroying the Buster Call isn't that complicated.
"Because Moria suddenly appeared, he stopped Sakazuki from pursuing the Blood-Eyed Ninja."
"Does that piece of trash have the strength to stop Akainu?"
Satan's words silenced Sengoku.
Actually, this is something he's quite curious about.
Does that good-for-nothing who only knows how to hide in the Devil's Triangle and play zombie games really have the strength to stop Sakazuki?
Even if he regains his Haki, he still can't possibly be a match for Sakazuki.
But the facts are there, and he has no choice but to believe them.
As for whether Akainu deliberately let the other go... he'd rather believe Whitebeard was one of his own than believe Akainu would defect to the enemy.
"I'm asking you a question!"
"Moria's strength has indeed improved by leaps and bounds," Sengoku explained. "Although he's not as strong as Sakazuki..."
But... it's impossible to quickly defeat the opponent.
"Moria didn't give Sakazuki a chance to kill him either, holding him off for a moment before escaping."
"They escaped..."
Saint Vocuri was so angry he laughed.
Not only did they fail to capture the Straw Hat Pirates, but they also failed to capture Moria, who came to their doorstep?
Is this generation of admirals really that useless?
For a moment, even Saint Vocuri didn't know whether making these three people generals was the right or wrong decision.
"Moria has mastered the ability to fly, and his flying speed is extremely fast," Sengoku said. "Even if Sakazuki uses Moonwalk to catch up, he can't catch up."
"The Shadow-Shadow Fruit, huh...?"
Satan immediately understood the crux of the matter; it seems Moria's mastery of Devil Fruit abilities has improved considerably.
"No, according to you, Akainu should have fought the blood-eyed ninja before Moria arrived."
"That's right."
Sengoku nodded, understanding the other's meaning, and explained, "But the Blood-Eyed Ninja possesses an ability that resembles immortality."
"An immortal body?!"
Satan Saint's pupils shrank instantly. The opponent actually possessed such an ability?
Isn't this the immortal power that only Lord Im can bestow upon others?
Why does the other party also have this ability?
"It's only a suspicion," Sengoku said. "Akainu briefly fought him but couldn't kill him."
"Every time Akainu destroys the Blood-Eyed Ninja's body, he reappears in front of Akainu completely unharmed."
At this point, Sengoku's expression became very serious.
When he saw this information, he also felt it was extremely outrageous.
What kind of strange and wonderful ability is this?
"Is Akainu certain that he killed the real Akainu?" Saint Satan asked.
At this point, he had no time to worry about Akainu killing him; his primary task was to figure out how the other party was immortal.
"Confirmed," Sengoku said. "Akainu's Observation Haki was consistently locked onto the target, confirming that he killed the real person!"
And this is what puzzled them.
What kind of Devil Fruit ability could allow someone to be resurrected and launch an attack the instant they are killed?
Is it a mythical beast species that has never been seen before?
Or is it a rule-based ability within the Paramecia category?
Satan paused for a moment, then said, "I'm becoming more and more interested in him."
What exactly is this ability that's similar to immortality?
He was very curious.
If only we could capture them and study them properly.
"No wonder Akainu couldn't take him down," Maz said. "So he has this kind of ability after all."
Maz Saint pondered for a moment. Since the other party hadn't used this ability when they were on Enies Lobby, then... it's possible they only recently mastered it.
At that moment, the words "Devil Fruit" came to mind.
He was curious whether some kind of god-level Devil Fruit had appeared and happened to be picked up and eaten by this kid.
That's quite a possibility...
"So, this guy used this very move to lead the Straw Hat Pirates away from Sabaody Archipelago?"
No, that's not the case.
Upon hearing this, a look of doubt immediately appeared in Nasujiro Sei's eyes.
No?
Could there be another unexpected event?
"Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago for some reason," Sengoku said. "And the Straw Hat Pirates were able to leave there alive because of him."
"Click~"
Veins bulged on Nasujiro's face, and his eyes flashed with terrifying killing intent.
So it turns out he's a traitor after all this time?
Not only him, but the other four old guys also understood the crux of the matter.
It must have been that Kuma who used his Devil Fruit power to send the Straw Hat Pirates flying!
Otherwise, how could these newcomers have escaped from the encirclement of two naval admirals?
Even if that blood-eyed ninja possessed some kind of immortality-like ability, it wouldn't matter, because... the others would still die!
But it was because of that bastard Kuma that the entire Straw Hat Pirates escaped!
"This is really... a surprise to me."
"We've received your intelligence," Piet Saint said with a grim face. "Now focus on dealing with Whitebeard."
"As for the Straw Hat Pirates and Moria... I'll have CP search for their whereabouts."
Pitt Saint also knew that this incident could not be entirely blamed on the Navy. After all... who could have imagined that so many people would jump out to help the Straw Hat Pirates?
So let them focus on dealing with Whitebeard.
As for punishment, we'll discuss that later.
"clear."
"Kaka~"
Ignoring the Den Den Mushi that had just hung up, Saint Satan said, "Now I understand why the Straw Hat Pirates were able to make it out of the Devil's Triangle alive."
"It turns out it was all because of this bear!!"
Based on the information I received today, I can now understand what happened before.
Kuma never even tried to kill the Straw Hat Pirates!!
It's even possible that they helped the Straw Hat Pirates back then.
That despicable bastard!!
"We were really careless," Mazsan said, frowning. "Who would have thought this guy would betray us?"
A Shichibukai who was willing to be their dog would actually betray them for the Straw Hat Pirates in the end.
Maz Saint couldn't quite understand the other party's intentions.
Could it be because little Bonnie escaped after recovering, leaving the bear without any worries, so... he's become more willful in his actions?
"Perhaps... it was a dying madness?" Sacred Vochuli guessed.
Upon hearing this, the others immediately fell silent.
Although this claim is somewhat outrageous, it's not impossible!
"Of course, it's also possible that Kuma knows someone in the Straw Hat Pirates," Pittor Saint said.
That makes sense.
"No matter what, we have no way of figuring out what the bear was thinking," Saint Satan said. "Now that the bear has undergone a consciousness-erasing surgery, even if we kill him, we won't get any useful information."
Because... the bear is dead!
It has truly become a biological weapon, the pacifist PX-0!
Therefore, the bear's true purpose has become a mystery.
Even they couldn't get any information from the bear.
"Is that so? —"
"Then let's consider how to minimize the impact of this," said Saint Vochuli.
"Just like I said," Pittor Saint said, "Have the CP personnel search for the Straw Hat Pirates."
"Once we find them, we must eliminate them decisively, giving them no chance to show themselves!"
As long as the news that the Straw Hat Pirates are still alive doesn't get out, they haven't completely lost face.
"Seconded!"
"By the way, find a way to capture that blood-eyed ninja," Satan Saint said. "I'm getting more and more curious about his abilities."
That seemingly immortal ability... does it originate from bloodline, or is it from consuming some kind of god-level Devil Fruit?
Either way, they should get their hands on it!
"Yes, we must capture this blood-eyed ninja!"
"Immortality... This power, which belongs exclusively to adults, should not be found in the lower classes."
"That's right, his very existence is an offense against the majesty of the gods!"
At that moment, the five old men reached a consensus: the Blood-Eyed Ninja must be captured!
"Have Stussy work with the CPO to gather intelligence in the New World," said Saint Vochuli. "As for Paradise and the Four Seas, let the CP series find them."
"Even if it's like finding a needle in a haystack, we have to find this guy!"
"Seconded!"
