Attack

While Borsalino and Alastair were en route to the Bondy Pirates' territory, the Marine Headquarters and the World Government had already received the news.

In the vast conference room of the Marine Headquarters, a meeting was held. Whether they arrived in person or participated via live video broadcast, all those who could attend the meeting were naval officers of the rank of vice Vice Admiral or above.

Of course, some members of the Staff Department, although not holding the rank of Vice Admiral, were equivalent in status to Marine Vice Admiral.

Now that Novoya is a true high-ranking officer in the navy, he is certainly able to participate in such meetings.

"What happened again?" Novoya, puzzled. Such a large meeting must mean something serious had occurred. Was another war about to break out?

He didn't show it on the surface, remaining calm and leaning back in his chair.

In any case, what happens next is basically none of his business; his current goal is to manage his own G8 Branch.

He completely transformed the G8 Branch into his own territory. To do this, he recruited Navy spies from various Night Pirates under his protection. These were people he could trust and use, and he also sought opportunities to promote them.

Not long after the war with the Beasts Pirates ended, Novoya had already taken over the G8 Branch. With his formidable strength and the immense prestige brought by the war, Novoya faced no obstacles whatsoever.

He was the one who ran the G8 Branch; he just left for a while.

Now that he has become a regional warlord, he can be as carefree as he wants. He doesn't care about the surveillance from headquarters or the hidden members of the Inspection Department.

Just stay true to yourself. It's good to be controversial. If your behavior suddenly changes, headquarters will become even more suspicious.

Even if another war breaks out, it will basically not be his turn. There are still plenty of talented people in headquarters, unless they really need his combat power.

"Dongdong!" Sengoku tapped his hand twice on the table, and all eyes fell on him.

"Ahem! There's an important matter at this meeting."

"Bondy a!"

A photo of Bondy a appeared on the screen.

"He stole a batch of powerful weapons that headquarters was secretly researching, and destroyed the entire base; even the entire island was destroyed when the weapons were released."

As he spoke, Sengoku projected an image of J Island, which was quite shocking to see. The entire island looked as if it had been bombarded by cannonballs, and the further towards the center the island's ground sank.

They had no idea that headquarters was secretly researching such a powerful secret weapon.

Although somewhat shocking, the appearance of the Uranus, the powerful technology of the Night Pirates, the dangerous weapons of the Beasts Pirates, and the secret technology that the headquarters was already researching were all impressive.

This greatly increased their willingness to accept new ideas.

At the same time, this explanation is more acceptable, since Vegapunk, whose wisdom surpasses that of the world by five hundred years, is in the Department of Naval Science.

Kuzan, Sakazuki, Tsuru, and the others remained expressionless; they knew of the existence of the Dyna Stone and what had happened.

It makes more sense to reveal the existence of the Dyna Stone in this way, rather than the Navy having possessed such a terrifying weapon all along.

Many people's expressions changed. Bondy a, some of the older generation of naval officers still remembered his terror, one of the dominant forces of that era, possessing power that threatened the world.

The consequences of letting Bondy a get his hands on such a terrifying weapon are unimaginable.

The Uranus's shot remains a nightmare for many naval personnel.

"This weapon is called Dyna Stone. It explodes upon contact with air, and the explosive force is enough to destroy an island, comparable to Ancient Weapon."

"Due to the difficulty of manufacturing, the special geographical location, and the need for materials from the deep sea, it is now very difficult to manufacture. Most of them have been destroyed in the explosion. What you see now is what the Dyna Stone looks like after the explosion."

"Headquarters only managed to salvage two, while Bondy a possesses ten such dangerous weapons. We must either retrieve them or detonate them before Bondy a decides to use them."

Sengoku recounted the horrors of the Dyna Stone and the perilous nature of the current situation, because no one knew when Bondy a would make his move.

Unlike the massive and difficult-to-hide Ancient Weapon 'Uranus', the Dyna Stone can be carried around, and its explosion can occur at any time without anyone being able to react.

"All naval forces are now on high alert. Borsalino has gone to pursue Bondy a, and the World Government has also sent reinforcements."

After saying that, Sengoku turned his gaze to Admiral Akainu, "Sakazuki, this time you will join the attack."

"Hmm! No problem." Sakazuki nodded, then looked at the documents in his hand.

"And Novoya, Vergo, Gion, Kake." Sengoku named four more names in a row, all of whom were among the best Marine Vice Admiral and had the potential to become top-tier combatants.

"You will set off with Sakazuki. Our objective is to destroy the Bondy Pirates." Sengoku's will was unwavering; he wanted to directly unleash his high-end forces to annihilate the Bondy Pirates and sever Bondy a's arm.

Why does Bondy a want to become an emperor? Don't the Navy and the World Government understand? Given the precedent set by the Flying Pirates, they won't tolerate another terrorist attack.

Their previous operation against the Flying Pirates failed, but this time, they cannot afford to fail, and they will not fail.

Because Bondy a is not Golden Lion Shiki, and the Bondy Pirates are not the Flying Pirates.

They need to strike first.

The entire conference room was shaken. No one had expected such a massive operation—the destruction of the Bondy Pirates. Of course, they also knew the necessity of this action.

There was no room for discussion; not only the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, but the World Government must have made the same decision.

This was a surprise attack, not a large-scale war. Only high-end and top-tier combat forces were deployed. After all, they didn't want their massive fleet to be destroyed in the explosion of the Dyna Stone before it could even play a significant role in the New World.

In addition, World Government will fully cooperate.

Novoya had thought this operation might not involve him, but he didn't expect that he would actually need to take action.

However, the impact is not significant; it was just a group action, and they will be back soon.

Following the decision from headquarters, within a single day, Novoya and Vergo arrived at headquarters from G8 Branch and G5 Branch respectively.

There were only five people involved, and since this was a secret operation, speed was the priority.

Bondy a was alone, and it would be impossible for him to return to his territory in less than two weeks, even with his extremely fast speed, it would be difficult to use that time to travel.

They made their move during this period.

Their mode of transport was a flying machine similar to those used by Flying Pirates. In fact, it was the same machine. During the war, the Navy and the World Government also captured some of them. With the Navy's technology, they could easily copy and improve upon them.

In other words, the navy now possesses highly mobile strike capabilities, but building a well-organized air force is difficult, primarily due to a lack of funding.

The headquarters is already short of warships, so where would it get the money to manufacture aircraft?

But building a few as backups for temporary operations is no problem at all.

This time, they will descend from the sky as a surprise force to destroy the Bondy Pirates.

Not only did the Night Pirates not say anything, but Doflamingo also received the news right after the Marine Headquarters meeting ended.

He was somewhat surprised that the Navy possessed such terrifying weapons, but he had no intention of informing the Bondy Pirates.

The Bondy Pirates have no vested interests with him, and Bondy a is not currently on his own territory. With the powerful forces dispatched by the Navy and the support of the World Government, the Navy has no chance of defeat, and suffering heavy losses is inevitable.

The extent of the loss is unrelated to Doflamingo.

In his eyes, the Bondy Pirates were just a force that would be eliminated sooner or later. Their force looked large, but it was only supported by Bondy a alone.

If the Navy were to learn of his leaked information through the Bondy Pirates, it would backfire. While it wouldn't affect his status Shichibukai, it could expose his presence as a spy within the Navy, something he desperately wanted to avoid.

After all, if a real investigation were to be conducted, the Navy's powerful intelligence capabilities would surely be able to find some clues and hasten Vergo's exposure.

Therefore, he doesn't need to get involved in this matter; it's best for him to sit back and watch the show.

The actions of the Navy and the World Government will only further enrage Bondy a, potentially triggering a major war between the two sides.

In Doflamingo's view, this was not actually the best course of action; they should have waited until Bondy a returned to his territory before launching the attack and then detonating the Dyna Stone directly.

This would not only result in heavy losses for the Bondy Pirates, but also severely damage Bondy a, making it unable to withstand the combined attack of the Navy and the World Government.

However, Sengoku and his men also had their own considerations. The explosion of the Dyna Stone posed a great threat to everyone except Borsalino. In case of an accident, or if Bondy a launched a counterattack in his dying moments and they were both killed, such a loss would be unbearable for the Navy.

This is a safer approach: first eliminate the Bondy Pirates, then eliminate Bondy a.

Meanwhile, Borsalino and Alastair had already arrived at the Bondy Pirates' territory.

"Let's begin." A cold glint flashed in Alastair's eyes as he gazed at the island below, the headquarters of the Bondy Pirates.

"Yes, let's split up." Borsalino nodded and flew away.

The naval attack was carried out in two phases: first by Borsalino and Alastair, and then by Sakazuki and his forces.

How many people can two people kill at most? Many pirates would flee immediately.

The two attacks were enough to inflict heavy casualties on the Bondy Pirates.

Soon.

"Comet Collision!"

"The Yasakani no Magatama!"

A dazzling purple comet fell like a meteorite, instantly destroying the iconic castle of the Bondy Pirates.

Countless light projectiles rained down from the sky, covering everything and engulfing a large number of pirates.

A huge explosion was heard, followed by screams of agony.

The attack came so suddenly that the Bondy Pirates didn't even have time to react.

Constant destruction, constant killing.

The Bondy Pirates collapsed; no one organized them, and Bondy a's brother, their leader, died immediately.

He died from the impact of the Alastair Comet Impact; his weakened body was powerless to resist and was crushed to pieces.

Even with remarkable wisdom, it is all in vain before absolute power.

With Bondy a gone, Bin Jack, who was in charge of the Bondy Pirates, has also died.

Has anyone recognized who the attackers were? Marine Admiral Kizaru and a CP0 powerhouse—how could they possibly be a match for such top-tier fighters?

Some people were still hoping for the appearance of Bondy a, believing that the "World Destroyer" could stop everything. However, they waited a long time but the man never arrived, only suffering greater casualties.

This made them realize that Bondy a was not on their turf.

During this period, the Bondy Pirates expanded rapidly, and many pirates succumbed to the power of Bondy a.

In a situation like this, why would they easily make a move? Running far away immediately would be the act of a fool; fighting to the death would be unthinkable.

With Borsalino and Alastair's departure, only devastation remained.

This shocking news spread throughout the world in a very short time.

Two top-tier fighters attacked the Bondy Pirates, causing massive damage that no one could ignore.

At the same time, they also had some doubts in their minds; the navy wouldn't attack without a reason.

Why?

Where did Bondy a go?

Or rather, what exactly did Bondy a do to anger the Navy and the World Government?

Such an attack inevitably brings to mind the last time, when they dealt with the Flying Pirates. If the Flying Pirates hadn't abandoned their territory at the crucial moment, they might have suffered more than half their losses.

"What did that old guy do?" The happiest person about this was Alex the Hunter, since the Bondy Pirates wanted to rule this sea, and he was the next target for them.

Now that the Bondy Pirates have confronted the World Government and the Navy ahead of schedule, he can be said to be safe.

Although the Bondy Pirates are powerful, most of their strength comes from plunder. Now that this has happened, some pirates are planning to leave the Bondy Pirates.

This attack brought many pirates back to reality from their growing vanity. They realized that following Bondy a was a dead end; how could a mere top-tier fighter compare to the World Government and the Navy?

Moreover, with the Four Emperors still existing in the New World, even if something is accomplished, it is highly likely that other forces will ultimately reap the benefits.

Most pirates are not mentally sound; more importantly, they rarely see the potential for profit.

This is just a thought. Bondy a isn't dead yet. How could they dare to openly break away? Otherwise, when Bondy a returns, they'll be the first ones he deals with.

Most are still observing, waiting for Captain Bondy to return so they'll know what he's done.

The attack by the Navy and the World Government caused even the war between the Red-Haired Pirates and the Demon Pirates to come to a slight halt, as they dared not make any rash moves.

"Damn the Navy, the World Government!" Bondy a was still on his way when he received the news, and what angered him even more was that his brother was dead.
