One-Sixth of the World Under Their Rule!
"All?"
"All."
"All?"
"All."
"Sure?"
"Yes."
Faced with the Gorosei's successive questioning, Sengoku lowered his head again and said in a deep voice.
"From the G1 Branch, which is backed by the Red Line Continent, to the G14 branch, which is close to Wano Country... all the branch bases in the New World have now been occupied by the New Marines."
This is definitely something the New Marines did!
After establishing its headquarters, one of the main directions the New Marines focused on was to expand its sphere of influence in the New World.
What better expansion target could there be than the remaining Marine Branch bases in the New World waters?
Thanks to the combined efforts of Zephyr and Aokiji.
Thanks to the selfless dedication of the Red-Haired Pirates.
All G Series Branch bases within the New World have now been transformed into the shape of the New Marines.
If it weren't for the fact that all the branch bases in the New World had been completely "occupied," the New Marines wouldn't have publicly announced the "establishment of the New Marines" to the entire ocean at this special time.
Certainly.
Not all the original G Series Branch base commanders, namely the Marine Vice Admiral, believed in the New Marines were willing to switch sides and join it.
But there's a saying that goes something like that.
"If you won't do the job of the highest-ranking officer at this branch base, plenty of others will!"
All in all.
The New Marines has conquered the New World!
"Incompetent piece of trash!"
"You idiot with the photo on your face!"
"Disgraceful traitor!"
"の!!"
Unsurprisingly, the Gorosei were once again "blown up" by this news.
The New Marines has just been established.
If the World Government can eliminate the New Marines in a very short time, then announce this news to the entire ocean.
Therefore, the power and prestige of the World Government will not be severely affected.
But now.
The New Marines has completely occupied all of the branch bases in the New World.
The New World has completely become a "Paradise" for the New Marines!
In this case.
How can the World Government explain to the people on the high seas that they are still the World Government?
A World Government that has lost control of the New World and one-sixth of the ocean?
(The Four Seas, Paradise, New World... it is indeed one-sixth of the ocean)
"The Sengoku!"
A chilling aura began to emanate from Saint Nusjuro's eyes once again.
"Why didn't the Navy receive the news in advance?--"
The question had barely been posed when, before Sengoku could even answer, Saint Nusjuro had already found the answer himself.
What else could it be?
Of course, it's because all the branch bases in the New World have "betrayed" us!
The entire navy in the new century consists entirely of people from the New Marines.
In this situation, who would bother to tip off the Old Marines?
And let's not even mention the navy's intelligence capabilities.
Cipher Pol, the World Government's exclusive intelligence organization, didn't receive prior warning, did it?
Traitor! Good-for-nothing!
Those scumbags who get in our way!
The Navy has no honor whatsoever!
I'm so angry!!
At that moment, Saint Nusjuro's bald head almost turned bright red.
The other Gorosei, while not as enraged as Saint Nusjuro, all had very unpleasant expressions.
I don't know why.
Seeing the Gorosei's furious reaction, Sengoku felt a strange sense of pleasure rising within him.
In the past.
The Gorosei always treated Sengoku like a servant, summoning him at will and dismissing him at will, showing him absolutely no respect as the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters.
Now.
New Marines was established.
Have the Gorosei finally felt the pain?
The so-called supreme power of the World Government isn't as detached from worldly affairs as previously imagined...
The secret thoughts that were running through the minds of the Sengoku were not noticed by the Gorosei.
But.
Out of duty and obligation as Fleet Admiral, Sengoku chose to add fuel to the fire at this juncture (just kidding).
The Fleet Admiral chose to actively report on his work.
"In fact, the New Marines's impact extends far beyond just the branch bases in the New World."
With a stern face, Sengoku reported the news word by word, information he had gathered before arriving.
"Many of the Member Nations located in the New World were also won over by the New Marines."
This intelligence from the Sengoku was like a fatal bullet, striking the vital spot of the venomous snake known as the "Gorosei."
The Gorosei, who had just been furious, seemed to have had their signal suddenly cut off.
Saint Nusjuro, whose bald forehead was flushed red with anger, suddenly had a face that was both ferocious and terrifying, turning red with a hint of black and black with a hint of green.
In short, it's not human!
Within the Gorosei's exclusive "spiritual communication channel".
The Gorosei were thrown into complete disarray.
'Member Nations... how could this be?'
How could New Marines affect Member Nations?
'Have the Member Nations also betrayed us?'
The Gorosei's panic is entirely understandable.
As mentioned before.
The fact that Pirate King has reached the top only affected the World Government's authority from an external perspective.
The establishment of the New Marines, however, shook the foundations of the World Government from within.
But now it seems...
Where in the New Marines is there any "shaking of the foundations"?
The New Marines is clearly undermining the foundation of the World Government!!
The World Government, in essence, is a global organization composed of more than two hundred Member Nations.
What is most important to World Government?
Imu, the master of the "Throne of the Sky".
This is, of course, the most important thing.
What about next?
He is not Gorosei, not Celestial Dragons, and not a Marine.
Instead, they are seemingly ordinary World Government Member States!
All the power of the World Government originates from its Member Nations.
Without the generous Heavenly Tribute provided by the Member Nations for centuries...
Imu, the Gorosei, and even the other Celestial Dragons, as well as the vast Navy, would never have such a comfortable life.
Indeed.
Because of the unique environment of the New World.
The World Government has limited power in the New World.
Compared to other sea areas.
In the New World, whether it is Marine Base or Member Nations, the overall number is relatively small.
But so what?
Are Marine Base in the New World not Marine Base?
Were the Member Nations of the New World not Member Nations?
If it weren't for the New World of the Whitebeard Pirates, Dawn Pirates, Storm Pirates, and Beasts Pirates —the four "Emperor Pirates"—and Elbaf, the "World's Number One Nation"...
The Gorosei are practically bringing the New World under the control of the New Marines!
This kind of thing.
It's more than just outrageous!
This is utterly outrageous!
It was just an ordinary New Year.
How did a terrifying force suddenly appear on the high seas, occupying almost one-sixth of the ocean?
The Gorosei inexplicably had a feeling of "dreaming back to eight hundred years ago".
Eight hundred years ago.
In the later stages of Great War.
The power of the Great Kingdom seems, perhaps, maybe, possibly is nothing more than this?
Eight hundred years have passed.
Although the situation at sea has been relatively chaotic in recent years.
However, the World Government remains the unshakeable world ruler.
How come it's only the beginning of the year?
How did the situation at sea suddenly become so erratic that it's completely incomprehensible?
This must be because the navy isn't trying hard enough!
... Could it be that the navy was trying too hard?
The Gorosei felt a bitter taste in their mouths.
Zephyr single-handedly built Marine Guerrilla Unit;
The New Marines established by Zephyr Aokiji;
Zephyr, Aokiji, Fujitora, and all the branch bases in the New World together form the New Marines;
Zephyr, Aokiji, and Fujitora, along with New Marines supported by all branch bases in the New World and Member Nations...
These elements represent completely different meanings and weights!
The Gorosei were so angry they could barely muster any more anger.
They just felt lost.
I feel extremely lost.
How did this vast ocean, this New World, suddenly transform into a shape they couldn't understand?
The Sengoku was also aware of the serious situation currently facing that sea area of New World.
This is why he rushed to Mary Geoise and sought out the Gorosei.
In the New World, all branch bases "defected," and almost all Member Nations "defected"...
This level of event is far beyond what Fleet Admiral can handle alone.
The Gorosei.
Only the Gorosei, who symbolize the highest power of the World Government, are qualified to handle such a major event.
During the Sengoku, all control was handed over to the Gorosei.
Whether to kill or punish, to fight or make peace, the Gorosei can decide!
If you really push him too far...
'I'd rather be a dog than Fleet Admiral! If you push me too far, I'll go find Zephyr in the New World!'
Sengoku stood before the Gorosei, his thoughts wandering.
As a Fleet Admiral dreams of upholding justice and dominating the seas.
At that moment, Sengoku suddenly felt that his "Heart of Justice" from back then was about to be revived.
Leaving aside the impact and shock on World Government.
The establishment of the New Marines truly brought justice to the seas!
At least within the New World, there shouldn't be any other power capable of rivaling the New Marines, right?
Just as Sengoku was dreaming of "the New Marines completely dominating the New World."
Saint Nusjuro's voice brought his attention back.
"Who is this person standing with Zephyr and Aokiji in the newspaper?"
Saint Nusjuro shook the newspaper in his hand, and his withered index finger tapped the picture of the fat tiger in purple robes a few times.
"Why is he holding the [Black Road Fire Wire] created by Fūgetsu Kisaburō?"
"This man's real name is 'Issho,' and he is a wandering, unsettled swordsman."
Sengoku frowned slightly as he looked at Ichisho's smiling face.
In his mind, Yixiao should be blind, so how come he couldn't tell at all from the newspaper?
The Sengoku omitted this topic and focused on the key points.
"According to the intelligence the Navy previously gathered, this Issho is a gravity-type human who ate the [Paramecia D Denk-Denk Fruit], and his strength... is no less than Kuzan's."
Not inferior to Kuzan?
So, does that mean this "Fujitora" is really an Admiral?
Saint Nusjuro suddenly regretted asking that question.
New Marines.
Zephyr, Aokiji, Fujitora.
Even though Saint Nusjuro had already overestimated the strength of the New Marines.
I never imagined I'd underestimated it in the end!
Three Admiral!
This is a force of three Admiral!
Saint Nusjuro had just been thinking of having Sengoku lead the Old Marines to attack the New Marines.
But what's the situation now?
In the Old Marines, the only Admiral -level combatants were Sengoku, Akainu, and Kizaru.
In addition, we need to add Garp, who basically doesn't follow orders from higher-ups.
The World Government wants to completely defeat the New Marines.
It's estimated that at least four Admiral- level combatants will be needed.
Does this mean that to create New Marines, all of the Old Marines's high-end combat power will be deployed at once?
The World Government has jurisdiction over more than just the New World!
All of the navy's top combat forces were sent to the New World.
So, should we still take care of other areas?
So...
Are we going to send CP0 out as well?
But CP0 doesn't have any Admiral- level forces to muster!
We can't just do this to suppress the New Marines.
Will the Gorosei personally "descend to earth"?
The Gorosei left Mary Geoise and headed down to the sea, and it was for something as seemingly trivial as "battle"...
This hasn't happened in hundreds of years?
Saint Nusjuro fell into a long silence.
The other Gorosei also fell silent.
The power that the New Marines is currently displaying is indeed shaking them to their core.
'The New Marines... three Admiral...'
'That Zephyr guy, he can't really be considered Admiral, can he?'
'He was at least Admiral in the past, and he can exert the power of Admiral for a short period of time...'
'To take down the New Marines without any mistakes, the Marine Headquarters will probably have to deploy all its forces at once...'
'Or shall we go?'
Just as the Gorosei hesitated...
A cold voice, brimming with anger, barged directly into the Gorosei's private mental communication channel.
"You five pieces of trash! Get over here!"
This is a spiritual connection from Imu, the master of the "Throne of the Sky".
The establishment of the New Marines.
In the end, it ignited the wrath of the true World King!
Haha...
It's morning...
Good morning, everyone.
Go to bed early.
