The Five Elders' Fury-They Dared Kill the Descendants of God?!

Meanwhile, at the Marine Branch in the Sabaody Archipelago, Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral Billman, who was in charge there, was leisurely enjoying a cigar offered by someone, looking quite content.

"These cigars really do taste better..."

Just then, the Den Den Mushi on his desk suddenly rang, startling him so much that he almost grabbed the burning top of his cigar.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Contact me at this time?"

Billman frowned. This was his afternoon tea time, and those kids knew that.

Thinking this, Billman grabbed the Den Den Mushi's receiver and said, "You'd better have something to say."

"Rear Admiral Billman, something terrible has happened! Celestial Dragons is dead!"

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Billman jumped to his feet, cold sweat immediately breaking out on his face. "Celestial Dragons?"

"Right..."

"Who killed him, and where?"

"According to intelligence, the Straw Hat Pirates killed three Celestial Dragons at the auction house on Number One Tree..."

The naval officer in charge of the report was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes held a hint of fear.

Hitting Celestial Dragons would anger the World Government and provoke the intervention of Marine Admiral.

Now that the Celestial Dragons are dead... he can't even imagine what will happen next.

Are you sure the Celestial Dragons dead?

"Sure."

Billman:...

Billman sat down in his seat, looking somewhat weak and pale.

Given that this happened during his tenure, his naval career is likely over.

No... it should be said that whether they can survive is an unknown.

"Rear Admiral Billman?"

"Quickly, have the nearby navy seal off No. 1 Auction House immediately!" Billman reacted, his face contorted with rage. "Go now! Don't let them escape!"

If they can stop the Straw Hat Pirates, they might be able to redeem themselves, at least... avoid being dealt with by the World Government!

"Clear!"

"Click~"

Billman fell silent as he stared at the disconnected call.

Just then, he remembered what Admiral Kizaru had told him not long ago: to keep an eye on the movements of the Sabaody Archipelago and to report it immediately if the Straw Hat Pirates were spotted.

But who could have imagined that the message they received from the Straw Hat Pirates would be such explosive news... How dare those guys do that?!

Don't they know what killing Celestial Dragons means?

After taking a deep breath, Billman called out, "Kailo, Admiral Kizaru at the branch headquarters?"

"Admiral Kizaru went out this morning."

Billman:???

No, why are they going out for walks Tenten?

Billman was dumbfounded. Was this gentleman here on a mission or on vacation?

Without a second thought, Billman immediately dialed Kizaru's Den Den Mushi, intending to contact him.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Click~"

"Admiral Kizaru, this is Billman!"

"Admiral Kizaru is not here."

Billman paused for a moment, realizing that the voice belonged to... Admiral Kizaru's adjutant?

"I have something important to report to Admiral Kizaru!"

"I'm sorry, we are unable to contact Admiral Kizaru right now," the adjutant said apologetically. "He was summoned away by the Five Elders not long ago."

Billman:...

No, what kind of situation is this?

So all that was supposed to be a leisurely stroll? I was actually summoned away by the Five Elders?

"I see."

After ending the call with the Den Den Mushi, Billman fell silent because he couldn't contact the Five Elders; he didn't have that permission.

"Then let's contact the Warring Marshal Sengoku."

While dialing the Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi) to Navy Headquarters, Billman said, "It's better than doing nothing."

Soon, Sengoku's Den Den Mushi was connected, and the Den Den Mushi mimicked Sengoku's iconic face.

"I am from the Sengoku."

"Marshal Sengoku, I am Billman!"

"Huh?" Sengoku was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then asked in surprise, "Why are you contacting me all of a sudden?"

Isn't Kizaru with their branch? Why is he contacting me?

"The Straw Hat Pirates have appeared on Sabaody Archipelago and killed Celestial Dragons," Billman said quickly. "I can't contact Admiral Kizaru; he was summoned by the Five Elders."

"I have no choice but to contact you."

"What did you say?!"

Sengoku's eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed, "The Celestial Dragons were killed by the Straw Hat Pirates?"

"Right!"

Sengoku:...

Upon suddenly receiving this message, Sengoku felt a chill run down his spine.

How long has it been since Celestial Dragons died, since the last battle at God Valley?

I never expected that another Celestial Dragons would die... This is truly a major event.

' The Straw Hat Pirates...'

This group just caused a huge disturbance on Judicial Island a few days ago, and now they've killed Celestial Dragons... What are they trying to do?!

Is that Garp Garp's grandson going to cause a huge disaster?!

The Sengoku was incredibly frustrating.

After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Sengoku said, "Take your men and stop the Straw Hat Pirates immediately!"

"Don't let them escape, understand!"

"Clear!"

After ending the call, Sengoku frowned and asked, "Why would the Five Elders Kizaru to the Holy Land at this time?"

The timing is too coincidental.

While thinking, Sengoku took out another Den Den Mushi and dialed the contact number of the Five Elders.

Soon, the Den Den Mushi connected, revealing the iconic faces of the Five Elders.

"What is it, Sengoku?"

"My Several Lords, is Kizaru with you?"

Saint Saturn frowned immediately. What did this "Sengoku" mean?

Do they need Sengoku's permission to even talk to Kizaru?

Isn't this kid a bit too arrogant?

"Yes," said Saint Vowchuri frankly, "He was indeed here with us just now."

What do you want with him?

"Send him to the Sabaody Archipelago immediately," Sengoku said quickly. "The Straw Hat Pirates killed Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"What did you say?!"

The Five Elders's expressions immediately changed. How long had it been since something like this had happened?

That Straw Hat Pirates... how dare they try to kill Celestial Dragons?

"Sengoku, what were the naval commanders in charge of the Sabaody Archipelago doing?" Saint Peter roared. "Didn't they discover the Straw Hat Pirates?"

The Straw Hat Pirates have already appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago, how come the Navy's Information System didn't detect them?

Are they all a bunch of good-for-nothings?!

If their tracks had been discovered beforehand, how could the Celestial Dragons have been killed?

"Now is not the time to pursue such matters; the most urgent task is to send Admiral to eliminate them."

"That's right."

"Someone come here!"

Soon, a guard entered, knelt respectfully on the ground, and said, "Lord Five Elders..."

"You immediately catch up with Kizaru who just left and send him to the Sabaody Archipelago to wipe out those Straw Hat Pirates who dared to kill Celestial Dragons. Also, tell him to bring back the Blood-Eyed Ninja!" said Saint Vowchuri.

"Yes!"

"Go quickly!"

The guard, covered in cold sweat, turned and left after receiving the order. He never dreamed that someone would actually dare to attack Celestial Dragons.

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Where is Sengoku, Akainu?" Saint Saturn asked with a grim face.

Sengoku thought for a moment and said, "He's chasing Gecko Moria, and I think he's not far from the Sabaody Archipelago."

"Tell him to ignore Gecko Moria for now," Saint Vowchuri said coldly. "Send him to Sabaody Archipelago immediately. We absolutely cannot let this gang of madmen escape!"

Hunting down Moria can be done anytime, but... taking down the Straw Hat Pirates can't be delayed!

He must hear the news of the Straw Hat Pirates' annihilation today!

"Clear!"

"Click~"

After ending the call, Saint Nusjuro said, "What a group of audacious madmen, daring to kill even the Descendants of God..."

"They must be dealt with."

"That's right, if we don't kill them, wouldn't we Celestial Dragons become a laughingstock!"

The Five Elders's faces were filled with rage, and this rage... could only be extinguished with the blood of the Straw Hat Pirates!

This time, with two Marine Admiral deployed, we're sure to be able to take care of these damned bastards.

"And then there's the naval commander responsible for guarding the Sabaody Archipelago," Saint Saturn said. "That useless guy couldn't even detect the Straw Hat Pirates on the island. What use is he?"

"Once this matter is over, get rid of him and replace him with someone capable of doing the job."

There's no point in keeping this kind of waste; it's better to get rid of it quickly and replace it with something more useful.

"Let's wait until the war is over," Saint Mars said.

"A war with Whitebeard, huh...?"

Upon hearing this, Saint Saturn frowned.

"Yes," Saint Mars said, "The navy probably doesn't have any extra admirals to replace this useless guy right now, so... let's wait a bit."

The others thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Oh, right, send out Pacifista!"

"Yes, with the help of two Marine Admiral, the Straw Hat Pirates have no chance of escape!"

"Hmph, this time, I'm going to use that Blood-Eyed Ninja as my own experiment!" Saint Saturn said coldly.

He... will definitely make that guy suffer a fate worse than death!

Number One Tree, the auction venue. By now, most of the crowd had fled the venue, leaving only some pirates and guards behind.

"What a madman..."

Luo frowned as he looked at Xi Yan. He never expected this madman to dare to directly attack Celestial Dragons, and even kill three of them at once... Was this guy really not afraid of Marine Admiral?

'So that's why I felt uneasy earlier... was it because of this guy?'

It's outrageous that they would kill Celestial Dragons at the slightest disagreement.

"Captain, what should we do?"

"Of course we should leave first," Luo said, standing up. "The Marine Admiral will be here soon; let's get out of here first."

He had no interest in sparring with Marine Admiral, so he'd better leave first.

"Thank you... thank you, Xi Yan!"

Camie, carried on Xi Yan's shoulder, cried out, "Thank you for coming to save me!!"

She was on the verge of despair, thinking she would be someone's slave for the rest of her life, but unexpectedly she was rescued in the end.

That's... wonderful!

"It's alright, you're safe now," Xi Yan said.

"Camie!!"

Pappagu ran over excitedly, tears streaming down her face.

"Pappagu!"

"By the way, how's Hatchan?" Camie asked anxiously.

She remembered that the other person had just been shot, but was there no danger to their life?

"I'm fine, Camie..."

"Don't worry, it didn't hit any vital organs," Chopper said.

Hearing Chopper's words, Camie finally relaxed, relieved that her life wasn't in danger.

"What's wrong with Merry?" Chopper asked.

"The effects of the anesthetic haven't worn off yet," Xi Yan explained.

Upon hearing this, Chopper's expression immediately changed.

"Those damned human traffickers..." Chopper said through gritted teeth.

"Where are Robin and the other two?" Xi Yan asked.

"They haven't arrived yet..."

Before Nami could finish speaking, Brook's signature laughter echoed from the air.

"Yohohohoho~"

"I am coming!"

"Click~"

Light as a feather, Brook landed gently on the chair in the hall, striking an elegant pose.

The next moment, his foot slipped, and he got stuck.

"Click~"

"Forehead..."

This brought tears to Brook's eyes.

Xi Yan:...

Looking at Brook curled up on the ground, Xi Yan felt a chill in his groin.

But... this guy is just a skeleton now, so why is he feeling that kind of pain?

That's really strange.

"I'm here too!!"

"Sanji, catch me!"

"Bump!"

Usopp, slumped in his seat, twitched his lips and said, "Damn Sanji, why didn't you catch me...?"

"You're alright, aren't you?"

"Damn it, I'm a sniper!"

Enraged, Usopp jumped up, shoved his nose into Sanji's face, and roared with his shark-like mouth wide open, "Do you even know what a sniper is?!"

Hearing Usopp's words, Xi Yan wore a complicated expression. Whose sniper is so resilient?

It's probably not all meat.

"What's going on now?" Nico Robin asked, having landed on the ground.

As she spoke, she glanced around the venue and noticed two people dressed in special costumes lying on their seats, one of whom was a headless horseman.

"Um?"

"This is... Celestial Dragons?"

"Ah, I chopped it down." Xi Yan nodded.

To his surprise, Nico Robin simply nodded without saying anything more.

"Let's go, let's leave here first."

"That being said, but..." Franky glanced at the people who had gathered around and said, "These guys don't look like they're going to let us leave here easily."

"Don't let them get away!" Ed said angrily. "Kill them!"

Charlos Saint died here, so naturally, the person responsible for protecting him couldn't possibly survive either.

Even if he kills the Straw Hat Pirates, he cannot escape his own fate of being killed.

So... before you die, drag the Straw Hat Pirates down with you to hell!

Thinking about this, Ed's expression twisted slightly.

The guards responsible for protecting Shalria Palace and Rosward Saint shared similar thoughts; they had no other choice but to take the Straw Hat Pirates down with them.

"The guards hiding here in the venue..." Xi Yan said, squinting.

What a lucky bunch! If they hadn't been in this meeting place, they would have been killed by me just now.

But it doesn't matter, there are only about twenty people, so they pose no threat to them.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan said, "Fight your way out!!"

"Do it!"

Without a word, the Straw Hat Pirates immediately sprang into action, each displaying their unique skills to take down the charging guards one by one.

"Puff!!"

After killing a guard with a Kusanagi Sword, Xi Yan said in confusion, "Why does he seem... so weak?"

"Ha?"

Usopp glanced at Xi Yan speechlessly and retorted, "Do you actually want our enemy to be strong?"

What's going on in Xi Yan's head?

Isn't it a good thing if the enemy is weaker?

This way they can quickly eliminate the enemy and leave.

"I can understand what Xi Yan means..." Nico Robin said, "It is indeed a bit strange."

Normally, when Celestial Dragons come to such Lawless Zone, they would at least be accompanied by some powerful guards.

Even if they hold a high position, it's understandable that ordinary people wouldn't dare to make a move against them.

After all... no one knows if a madman might appear!

Just like today, they killed the Celestial Dragons without any mercy, didn't they?

Strangely, the other party didn't... which made Nico Robin very curious.

Are they... really that confident that no one will kill them?

"Anything goes," Luffy said. "Anyway, let's get out of here first."

"Rubber Machine Gun!"

"Da da da~"

A barrage of punches rained down on Ed, showing no mercy!

Seeing this, Ed immediately shouted, "Tekkai!"

Ed moved quickly, but unfortunately, such defensive measures were no match for Luffy's attacks.

"Bang bang bang!"

A barrage of punches rained down on him, forcefully knocking him to the ground. His eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.

Just then, the wall behind them suddenly shattered, and a gigantic figure emerged—it was the same Giant Clan from before!

"Big guy!"

Upon seeing this, Merry immediately smiled.

The Giant Clan smiled upon hearing this and said gratefully, "Thank you."

"It's nothing," Xi Yan said. "We were just about to leave. What are you planning to do?"

"I'm planning to take these guys with me and leave this place."

The Giant Clan pointed to the few slaves who had escaped with him and said, "Without my help, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape."

"Alright, then I wish you a safe journey." Xi Yan nodded and said, "But you'd better hurry, I just killed three Celestial Dragons, and the Marine Admiral should be here soon."

Giant Clan:???

The Giant Clan stared at Xi Yan in shock, utterly bewildered. "You killed Celestial Dragons?"

"Right."

Giant Clan:...

He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He had never seen such a madman before... This was Celestial Dragons!

"So let's get out of here quickly," Xi Yan said, pointing to the back door. "Don't get stuck."

"Understood..." The Giant Clan nodded, then said, "If you have the chance in the future, please come visit us in Elbaf."

"I will definitely thank you properly then."

"Haha, great!"

The Giant Clan nodded, said nothing more, called out to the person standing at his feet, and then turned and left.

After this experience, he realized that it was dangerous for him to be out there alone, so he decided to return to Elbaf.

As for those humans... just take them to a safe place.

Watching the departing Giant Clan, Little Merry raised her little hand, as if saying goodbye.

"Um?"

"Merry, you can move now?" Xi Yan asked, looking at Merry in surprise.

"Waving your arms is fine," Merry said, "But you probably can't run."

Xi Yan nodded. It seemed the effects of the anesthetic were gradually wearing off, which was a good thing.

Then, Xi Yan said, "Even if you can run, I won't let you run on your own."

If this little one were to run with her Short Legs... how fast could she run?

"Xi Yan, let's go!" Nami said.

"Oh, they're here."

After Xi Yan finished speaking, he glanced at Hatchan's appearance and said, "Let's find a place to treat this guy first."

His Medical Ninjutsu can heal Hatchan's wounds in a very short time.

Once the enemy regains mobility, send the three guys back into the sea; that way, they won't be caught by the navy.
