Following Gelinggu's words, six members of the God's Knights who were approaching Gawain slowly turned back and walked towards the Five Elders.
They stepped out from behind Gelinggu and stood firmly between the Five Elders and Gelinggu.
Seeing the disdainful looks that Gelinggu and the God's Knights gave them, Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro sneered and curled his lip.
"What events that happen in Mary Geoise are unrelated to us, the Gods of War?"
"Gelinggu, your statement is somewhat inappropriate, don't you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Conqueror's Haki emanating from the Five Elders became even more frenzied.
Feeling the Conqueror's Haki relentlessly assaulting him, Gelinggu exhaled coldly.
"Are you the only ones with such Haki, Five Elders?"
This is not your Haki corridor, but my own private space under the Autumn Moon Chamber!
Even if you wield every ounce of power in Mary Geoise, my God's Knights will only serve a higher being!
We, with our supreme independence, are not to be easily ordered around by you old fogies who hold positions without contributing anything.
Therefore, leave the Autumn Moon Chamber and do not delay my judgment of the sinner!
Leave now!
At this point, Gelinggu suddenly stepped forward, his Conqueror's Haki surging forth and colliding with the Five Elders' Conqueror's Haki.
At the same time, the other knights in front of him also released their Conqueror's Haki!
Feeling the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki swirling in the room, the Whitebeard, pinned to the ground by a group of men in black, paused for a moment before shouting incredulously at Gawain.
"Hey, Gawain, is this the true essence of Mary Geoise?"
Even the Five Elders are exceptionally powerful individuals. If Captain Rocks had known Mary Geoise possessed such strength, he wouldn't have so easily split his forces into two groups back then!
"Haha, yeah, who would have thought?"
Despite appearing to be the most pampered and privileged at the top of Mary Geoise, they are actually the most self-disciplined people in the city.
However, it's not unreasonable to imagine this, after all, the one standing here is the ruler of the whole world.
Even if you pirates don't approve of that kind of rule, you can't deny the inherent superiority of the rulers."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain released his clasped hands. Now that the Five Elders had come together, he no longer needed to use the chakra system to seek a breakthrough.
At the same time, upon hearing Gawain's words, Grandpa Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro laughed heartily, gripped the knife in his hand, and shook his head as he spoke.
"What a disgrace, Little Gawain! You've shown us how powerless we old folks are."
Even among the five of us old men, there are those we cannot command.
But no matter what, haha, I won't let you be judged so easily!
So what if you make a mistake? Who doesn't make mistakes?
But not everyone who makes a mistake can be restricted by an inexplicable trial!
Moreover, you are currently waging a war that will determine the future of the seas!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro took a sudden step forward.
Behind him, the Five Elders with short blond hair suddenly lowered their eyelids.
Meeting Gelinggu's increasingly serious gaze, the yellow-haired Five Elders' bodies gradually transformed.
A moment later.
A colossal old bull, nearly thirteen meters tall, suddenly stood upright on the floor Autumn Moon Chamber windows!
Looking at the enormous minotaur that occupied a considerable amount of space, Gelinggu quietly placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword.
Gripping the hilt of his knife, Gelinggu said coldly.
"Zoan, Ox-Ox Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Minotauros form!"
Shebad X. Saint Shepherd Ju Peter!
Do you really think we've already reached the point of war?
All for the sake of one sinner!
"And a crime that doesn't warrant too much punishment?"
At this point, Gelinggu suddenly drew his sword!
As he pointed his sword at the massive minotaur, thick fur grew from Gelinggu's body.
A moment later, a robust werewolf stood before the minotaur.
Looking at Gelinggu in his werewolf form, the Minotauros slowly spoke.
"Zoan, Inu Inu no Mi (Dog-Dog Fruit), Mythical Zoan, Lycaon Werewolf Mode!"
Gelinggu, you say we shouldn't be enemies over a few sins.
But in reality, you wouldn't be willing to let even the smallest sin go unpunished, would you?
So, it's not us who are unwilling to let go, but you.
But... hehe.
You should know better than us why you're so fixated on Little Gawain!
At this point, the Minotauros raised his right foot and stomped it hard on the ground!
Seeing the Minotauros's hoof about to slam into the ground, the werewolf Lycaon bared his teeth, instantly appearing beneath the hoof and stopping it.
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, the Five Elders with long beards spoke up.
"Ha, Gelinggu, perhaps we should each take a step back."
You have arrested two criminals this time. You know we won't abandon Little Gawain, so unleash all your justice and principles on Whitebeard.
Although Whitebeard was just a lowly pirate, he was still a former crew member of Rocks and caused countless troubles for the World Government.
Such a notorious lowly commoner should be worthy of being compared to Gawain's minor mistake!
As soon as he finished speaking, the long-bearded old man stepped forward and reached out his hand to Gawain, who was surrounded by the God's Knights.
Suddenly, Gawain felt himself being pulled by a wisp of air and began to move towards the Five Elders.
Meanwhile, while fighting against the Minotauros, Gelinggu said unwillingly.
"Max Mazz!"
No matter how urgent things are, you shouldn't make decisions for me!
Because you should know that the more decisions are made for me, the more I want to destroy them!
That's my sex..."
"Alright, shut up, Gelinggu."
Max Maz interrupted Gelinggu, then waved his hand slightly.
"You little rascal, you've been this foolish for years."
Just like how your daring actions in God Valley back then led to the complete failure of that incident, causing you to anger that person, and you weren't released from internal confinement until two years ago.
Even today, you will continue to anger that person through your actions.
At this point, Maz's beard trembled for a moment, then he burst out laughing.
He continued to tease her while laughing.
"You know what, Gelinggu, the reason we came together wasn't entirely because of Little Gawain's own influence."
That person wants to see him, haha.
So, with just a little guidance, you've once again put on a show for us, defying that command.
I admire you so much, Gelinggu. You were willing to fight against Saint Jaygarcia Saturn after his transformation just to stop her from meeting the person she wanted to see.
So, you seem genuinely dissatisfied with her.
I will relay this matter truthfully to that person.
At this point, Maz burst into laughter, waving at Gawain as he laughed.
"Alright, Gawain, there's no need to keep talking to this guy who's destined to be punished. He'll get what he deserves, just like he wanted to do to you."
Now, let me take you to meet an elder.
That elder truly deserves to be called an elder to all of us, hehe..."
At this point, Maz Saint immediately wanted to take Gawain away.
Opposite them, Gelinggu's expression was extremely ugly; his wolf-like face was contorted in a grimace.
Amidst this internal struggle, Gelinggu reverted to his original form, though his face now bore an unusual mix of panic and resentment.
"Matsu, Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro!"
You bunch of bastards, you've dug another hole for me!
"Ha ha!"
Hearing Gelinggu's words, Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro laughed disdainfully.
"I'm laughing," said Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro.
"Even you yourself used the word 'casual,' haha."
We always treat you this way, yet you always manage to fall into our shallow traps.
It's less about us waiting to dig a trap for you.
Rather, it's more like...
Hehe!
"It's you who loves to oppose us too much!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro waved his hand gently.
"Alright, Little Gawain, let's go."
After saying that, Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro turned and left, completely ignoring the disheveled God's Knights.
Just then, Gawain suddenly raised his right hand.
"Please wait a moment!"
He began to speak.
The Five Elders, who were about to leave, turned around in surprise.
At the same time, the disheveled Gelinggu suddenly revealed an expectant look!
That's right, keep displaying your arrogance and ignorance, Gawain!
Like those hot-blooded fools, make more demands on the Five Elders and me, even asking me to take Whitebeard, that lowly person, away too!
In that case, haha!
I can then continue to reprimand you for the crime of harboring a lowly person, and even if this crime cannot be brought to trial after the person who wants to see you, we will not let you off the hook afterward!
Bring it on!
Come on!
"Take the Whitebeard with you, and let us see your prowess..."
"Cough cough!"
Facing the Five Elders' doubts and Gelinggu's morbid expectation, Gawain coughed lightly and then smiled as he spoke to the Five Elders.
"Elder Five Elders, I'm so sorry, but I can't leave Whitebeard here!"
Ha ha!
The moment Gawain said this, Gelinggu almost burst out laughing!
That's right, just say so and take Whitebeard with you!
Without a trial for Gawain, Gelinggu wouldn't care about the life of a mere Whitebeard.
Even the most powerful commoner is still just a disgusting commoner. Even just touching Whitebeard would make Gelinggu feel disgusted!
Just as Gelinggu was secretly excited, the Five Elders looked on with suspicion.
Gawain glanced at the Whitebeard who was being held firmly to the ground, then continued softly.
"After all, my predecessors, Whitebeard was one of my men, an excellent collaborator and a subordinate bound by agreement!"
A long time ago, I made an agreement with Newgate that he would help me continuously suppress the pirate forces.
Now, having truly lost the ability to suppress the restless pirates of the New World...
Newgate has gathered over 90% of the most powerful pirates in the New World for me.
Even old guys like Ochoku, who always stayed on Beehive Island, were deliberately lured out by Newgate's invitation!
Thanks to Newgate's cooperation, I was able to successfully gather all the pirates in the New World, and after this battle, pirate forces will no longer be a problem for us!
With such merit, I could easily apply for a pardon for Newgate and grant Celestial Dragon status.
How could I let Newgate, who was so devoted to me, die at the hands of Gelinggu without a clear explanation?
There's still so much more I can use him for!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain gently waved his right hand.
In the distance, the Naginata beside the Whitebeard suddenly moved.
Facing Gelinggu's extremely dissatisfied gaze, Murakumogiri's tail slammed into the CP member who was pressing down on Whitebeard, sending him flying. Then, it lifted Whitebeard and sent him flying towards Gawain.
The moment Whitebeard was Murakumogiri, he immediately wanted to say something.
After all, how could someone like him willingly become someone's subordinate just to save his own life?
Even if all of this is just a stopgap measure!
But expedient measures won't work either!
Myself... myself...?
Just as Whitebeard was pondering this unwillingly, he suddenly heard a faint voice in his ears.
That was Gawain using electrical current to directly project the information into Whitebeard's brain nerves!
Gawain said softly.
"Newgate, even if you are to die, you shouldn't die alone in Mary Geoise, a place that cannot give you your final glory!"
Besides, Newgate, you wouldn't want your sons to continue worrying and suffering like this, would you?
You are currently missing. If you were to die silently like this, it would drive your sons insane, to the point that even I would be unable to help them.
So, Newgate, please cooperate with my actions for now.
Even if you die, at least leave something for your sons before you die, right?
Your sons are all waiting for you!
At this point, Gawain subtly gave Whitebeard a look.
At the same time, Whitebeard raised his head with a look of utter confusion...
He casually grabbed his own Murakumogiri, Whitebeard, and stood frozen on the ground for a very long time.
Finally...
With his beard throbbing, the Whitebeard let out a loud bang and knelt down on one knee in front of Gawain.
"Gawain, gurara, I merely stirred up the pirates' anger in a small way; this cannot be considered an achievement of mine!"
It's all thanks to your perfect planning, sir!
As soon as he finished speaking, Whitebeard felt immense pain in his heart, but he lowered his head without showing any sign of it.
That's right. Even if Whitebeard were to die, he wanted to die in front of the whole world, at least in front of his sons, so that he could leave something for them with his last breath!
If I were to die in Mary Geoise under mysterious circumstances, my death from disappearance would inevitably bring more trouble to my sons!
This won't do... Absolutely not!
As a father, even if it means enduring some humiliation, you must take good care of your sons!
With this in mind, Whitebeard readily agreed to act alongside Gawain.
Meanwhile...
Gawain was already overjoyed!
If it weren't for Gelinggu's sudden action, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to make Whitebeard bow down even briefly.
As for Newgate...
Even if you are dissatisfied in the future...
I also hope that a bold and powerful person like you can remain active in the world forever!!
