The surging sword energy ripped through the sky, causing all the Celestial Dragon who were enjoying themselves in Mary Geoise to raise their heads in astonishment.
Unfortunately, the Rosward Family and Donquixote Family families weren't in Mary Geoise; they had been invited by Gawain to play mahjong on the Sabaody Archipelago the day before yesterday.
Rosward would never refuse to play mahjong.
Their family members are really annoying, but Shalria has influence with Gawain.
Shalria washed Gawain's face. Could Gawain possibly want to wipe out their entire family?
The two had such a deep friendship.
Gawain still had some compassion.
Leaving aside the entertainment of the Rosward and Donquixote families, let's just talk about this moment.
After a brief moment of surprise, the Celestial Dragon returned to their respective activities.
This isn't the first time Mary Geoise has experienced turmoil; many years ago, slaves even ran away in groups.
Everyone believed that even if it was a loss of face, it was only the Five Elders who were disgraced. If slaves and lower-class people caused trouble in Mary Geoise, how could the Five Elders blame everyone else?
They spend their days drinking, having fun, and playing around with women; they won't get into any serious trouble.
Don't say it's just that the sky has been cut off; even if the sky collapses, so what?
Even if the sky falls, it won't hit the Celestial Dragon in Mary Geoise.
At least that's what the Celestial Dragon think.
At the same time, Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro parried Mihawk's sword with his own.
Feeling the pressure on the blade, listening to the sizzling sound of the night and the Kitetsu rubbing against each other in a stalemate.
Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro nodded in satisfaction, then let out a low, excited shout.
"We old men can no longer control the younger generation!"
The younger generation has grown up and it's time for them to sharpen their knives on us old folks!
So you're my enemy, you little brat with Mihawk?
The strongest swordsman of this era, haha!
It's a pity, I always thought that my future opponent would be the top swordsman destined for me, the one beside Joy Boy from the prophecy!
But unexpectedly, before the prophesied era even arrived, I was already able to engage in a thoroughly enjoyable sword fight!
You're saying I brought immense disaster to Wano Country, right?
That's right, that's exactly it. Before I became one of the Five Elders, I wanted to use that damned Wano Country, which is always at odds with my World Government, to pave the way for my advancement!
Kitetsu, ahahaha, my old friend!
Although we failed to completely overthrow the so-called era of samurai back then, even now, they still remember the pain we caused them!
Unfortunately, it's not enough; everything I've given is still far from sufficient!
"Since that's the case, let me kill you first, then teach my descendants how to respect their elders, and finally, after the prophesied era has fallen, I will annihilate every country like Wano Country like a plow sweeping away a den!"
With a triumphant shout from Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, he and Mihawk were locked in a fierce battle, unable to distinguish one another.
Meanwhile, the war between Redfield and Gelinggu was already raging.
Even more impressive were Sora and Sengoku, the master and disciple duo whose battles were truly massive.
Redfield was an elegant man, even his fighting was like dancing. Gelinggu was an even more refined man. Their fight was effortless and calm. Although their blades were close to each other's vitals, to the uninitiated, their movements would make them look like a pair of dancers.
Compared to the dancer, the battle between Sengoku and Kong was much more expansive and powerful. Sengoku's body was already enormous, and Kong's strength was not much weaker than Garp's.
In an instant, countless craters appeared around the two of them.
Kong was slammed into the ground by Sengoku more than once.
During the Sengoku, he was repeatedly struck on the toes and knees by Kong.
Looking at the three battlefields, each with its own distinct appearance, the remaining Five Elders exchanged glances.
A moment later, the bald-headed Mercury Topman Warcury Sheng slowly took two steps forward.
"Little Gawain, it seems you've already arranged suitable opponents for us."
So, what about you...?
Do you really intend to sound the horn of challenge against our ancestors?
"Of course, Senior Topman Warcury."
Faced with the questioning from the Topman Warcury, Gawain nodded slightly, then waved his right hand.
Suddenly, Garp, wearing a dog-skin hat and chewing on a donut, appeared.
When he landed on the ground, Garp was still a little dazed. He looked around in confusion, then turned to Gawain and asked.
"Holy crap, it's starting already?"
I thought you'd hold a meeting beforehand, especially since the last meeting warned of a possible operation at any time, and there hasn't been a single word from you for a whole week!
As he spoke, Garp looked greedily to his left and right, and the battlefield in the distance immediately came into view.
"Haha, this is really interesting. Hmm, they've already started fighting?"
Let me see... damn it, Redfield got released too?
If it weren't for Sengoku, myself, and the other junior naval personnel, looking at the scene before me, I would have thought that the pirates had invaded Mary Geoise.
Gawain, you really love using those damn pirates!
This is not a good thing!
At this point, Garp suddenly stuffed all the donuts in his hand into his mouth.
"Ouch, I'm choking!!!"
After struggling to catch his breath and chewing desperately, Garp choked and knelt on the ground, reaching out his hand to Gawain with a pleading expression.
"Hey, you duct tape, give me a sip of wine, I'm choking!!!"
"Well..."
Gawain couldn't help but roll his eyes in front of the bewildered audience.
Seeing the old man kneeling on the ground with his buttocks sticking up, the surrounding audience members' eyebrows twitched wildly, and then they involuntarily slapped their foreheads.
Snap!
After a crisp, clean crack, Garp caught the Gawain tossed to him.
After taking a big, satisfying gulp, Garp put down the wine jug and slowly stood up.
Garp casually tossed aside his dog-skin hat and glanced at the guy standing most prominently in front of him.
Well, although he had never met the Five Elders before, the guy in front of him was surprisingly an acquaintance!
"Ah ha, it's you, kid. You think you're my match?"
Long time no see, you old codger. The last time I saw you was when Rocks broke your leg.
So?"
Suddenly, Garp turned to face Gawain, put his hand to his mouth, and whispered something to Gawain.
"Do you think I'm getting old and that I'm leaving all the good people to Sakazuki and Mihawk?"
While I'd be quite happy to beat up those bastards, the Celestial Dragon and the Five Elders, asking me to bully a cripple... isn't that a bit...?"
Before Gawain think of a reply, Garp Gawain left his side.
He had no intention of arguing with Gawain; it was all just one of his usual jokes!
Suddenly, he shot into the sky, and then, high in the air, he made a motion as if two people were drawing their bows and arrows, as if shooting down the sun.
Next, he slammed his right fist, which he had been holding back, into the ground.
At the same time, he shouted loudly in the air.
"Fist Bone Clash!!!"
"Damn it!"
Completely bewildered, Topman Warcury. In a battle of this caliber, how could anyone resort to cheating and sneak attacks?
That's utterly unsportsmanlike! That seventy-year-old guy across from me has no sportsmanship whatsoever; he ambushed me, a man over one hundred and sixty years old!!!
Garp's punch tore the sky apart.
After feeling the opponent's overwhelming Conqueror's Haki and incredibly solid Armament Haki.
Topman Warcury had no choice but to assume a defensive stance, then continued to yell at the opponent.
"Garp, it really has been a long time!"
Speaking of which, I still owe you one.
Yes, I once had my leg broken by that guy Rocks in God Valley. That time, it was you and Roger who saved me in front of Rocks and Shiki.
However, even though you can be considered my benefactor, I will not show you any leniency!
Is Garp, the Iron Fist Garp, the strongest naval hero of the previous era, capable of piercing the sky and blasting cavities into the earth?
Now he's just a clueless criminal!
As soon as he finished speaking, the body of the Topman Warcury Sheng suddenly expanded.
Moments later, the Minotauros's enormous body made a resounding entrance.
He actually took Garp's iron Iron Fist head-on.
Admittedly, the Minotauros, Mythical Zoan of the Ox-Ox Fruit, should indeed have the hardest horns.
However, considering Topman Warcury's personal image...
He's bald not because he's always arguing with people like this, is he?
Boom!!!
Garp punched Topman Warcury on the head, and she herself was knocked back two steps by Topman Warcury.
The ground beneath Topman Warcury's feet instantly collapsed. At the same moment, Topman Warcury pressed his hands to the ground and let out a heavy sigh.
"As expected of the pinnacle of fists from the last era, your back certainly has a unique charm!"
You're a powerful figure without Devil Fruit! Your personality is just like a pirate's; you actually see something as convenient as Devil Fruit as an obstacle!
Even the most powerful fist is still just flesh and blood. Only by possessing the extraordinary body of Mythical Zoan can you understand what it means to be supreme!
From this moment forward, bow your head, my benefactor!
Big Earthquake!!!"
With a shout from Topman Warcury, the enormous minotaur raised its hoof and stomped straight at Garp.
As the broad, thick bull hoof landed on his head, Garp rolled his Byakugan and tilted his head to the side.
"Oh my, such neatly arranged cow hooves, this is the first time I've ever seen them."
These hooves are even more beautiful than those that have been trimmed.
"Old man, haha, you don't always hide at home secretly giving pedicures, do you?"
"Bullshit!"
Topman Warcury was completely defeated by Garp's naivety and innocence. His foot instantly gained two more points of strength, and he continued to stomp towards Garp.
Garp dodged the bull's hoof attack with Inazuma speed.
Then, he raised his hands.
Not far away, where the ox's hoof landed, the earth surged towards him like a tsunami!
Seeing that Garp easily blocked the attack from the Topman Warcury, Gawain continued walking towards Sabaody Castle.
In just two steps, he was already close to the inner city gate of Pangea Castle.
Once you enter the inner city, that's the area where the Celestial Dragon mainly live.
Seeing this, Saturn (wearing a hat), Shepherd Ju Peter (yellow hair), and Mars (with a mustache) all gave chase!
Faced with the pursuit of the three Five Elders, Gawain stopped in his tracks. He placed his right hand on the inner city wall, pondered, and looked up at the towering city gate of Pangea Castle.
Not far away, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter took a breath and then spoke to Gawain.
"Child, insubordination is not as heinous as you think."
Even if you lose this battle, we will plead with Lord Imu to at least let you live a life of luxury in Mary Geoise like any other Celestial Dragon.
Therefore, for the sake of our shared bloodline, let's not allow the war to spread into the inner city.
The young people there may be foolish, but no matter how foolish they are, they are still our people."
As soon as he finished speaking, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter immediately charged towards Gawain.
In fact, by this point, the Five Elders already understood what Gawain wanted to do.
If Gawain were to assemble his forces in a grand manner, intending to engage Mary Geoise in a full-blown battle...
At least Mary Geoise still had a chance to deal with the Celestial Dragon, preventing them from suffering heavy losses.
But nowadays, this kind of small-scale raid...
In such a small-scale operation, yet with a significant potential for disruption, there are simply too many opportunities to tamper with things!
Clearly, Gawain desires more than just the highest throne of power in the world.
He even wanted Mary Geoise to be completely submerged in the river of history!
This... has truly crossed the line for the Five Elders!
Even if the Celestial Dragon living in Mary Geoise are pigs, they are still pigs that the Five Elders have been raising all along!
No pig farmer would like to have their pigsty completely destroyed by a wild boar that suddenly emerges from the herd!
Faced with the combined attack of Shepherd Ju Peter two companions, Gawain braced his left hand on the Pangea Castle while gently gesturing with his right.
Suddenly, three figures in red, yellow, and blue appeared behind Gawain.
Three pairs of arms, neatly crossed, each blocked one of the Five Elders.
A moment later, the three who had landed looked around, then turned back and nodded to Gawain in unison.
At the same time, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter quickly withdrew his hand to avoid having his arm frozen by Kuzan's frost.
Then, he glanced at the three people in front of him.
"In the previous era, Rocks unleashed almost unimaginable disasters."
Since then, the five of us have increased our investment in the navy, especially in the navy of your generation... the most investment!
Before the three of you, there had never been a generation of Marine Admiral who all possessed the top-tier Logia Devil Fruit!
I gave you those Devil Fruits in the past so that you could completely subdue the sea, and so that you could use your power to bring peace and stability to the sea!
As a result, you actually used the swords we gave you to kill those of us who once supported you!
Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan!
The three of you... have you forgotten your original intentions?!
At this point, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's body suddenly swelled up.
At the same time, both Saint Saturn and Saint Marcus Mars also released their Mythical Zoan forms.
Looking at the three-headed phantom beast that had suddenly swelled up before them, Sakazuki and his companions took a deep breath.
Borsalino then gave a sly smile and looked up at the Five Elders.
"Original aspiration, oh dear, how terrifying."
What decent person still remembers their original aspirations?
Everything is for the greater good!
