"The newspaper has been published?"

"That bastard Morgans, does he want to die?"

Upon receiving this message, the Five Elders in the Holy Land were immediately enraged, wishing they could rip Morgans ' head off right then and there.

But they also knew that this guy couldn't be killed.

After all... their World Government needs the other side's news agency to help control public opinion.

"Regardless, this guy released such information without authorization and needs to be punished," Saint Saturn said coldly.

"Reconsider!"

The other four old men had no objections to this.

Although they have a cooperative relationship with Morgans, it doesn't mean that Morgans can provoke them with impunity.

This is a good opportunity to teach this bastard a lesson.

Let's hope this Highland guy doesn't create any more sensational news.

"Although the newspapers have already been sent out, as long as we can wipe out the entire Straw Hat Pirates, we can minimize the impact," Saint Mars said. "Then, we can publish the news of the Straw Hat Pirates' deaths, letting the world clearly know the consequences of targeting the Celestial Dragons!!"

Upon hearing this, the other four fell silent.

Upon closer examination, what Saint Mars said wasn't entirely without merit.

Although the deaths of Celestial Dragons enraged them, they were equally willing to use their deaths to intimidate the seas.

Although it may seem cold-blooded, it's the optimal solution.

As for whether the Straw Hat Pirates would run away... they hadn't even considered that question.

If two Marine Admiral working together can't defeat a group of rookies, then the navy is truly beyond saving.

After all... those are the Greatest Battle Power of the two Navy Headquarters!

Just then, the Den Den Mushi placed in front of Saint Vowchuri suddenly rang.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Click~"

"I am from the Sengoku."

"Sengoku?" Saint Vowchuri raised an eyebrow. "Has he finished dealing with the Straw Hat Pirates?"

Calling them at this time... they must have already taken care of the extra people.

Sengoku paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Sorry, the Straw Hat Pirates have escaped."

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing what Sengoku said, the Five Elders immediately flew into a rage, their eyes seeming to spit fire.

To capture the Straw Hat Pirates, they specifically dispatched two of the Navy Headquarters' Greatest Battle Power, but... they still managed to escape?

What is the navy even good for?!

How could such a strong lineup let a group of newcomers escape?

"Sengoku, I need an explanation!"

"That's right, do you think the two of you Marine Admiral could escape when you attacked together?"

Are all Marine Admiral useless?!

Saint Mars was furious.

Back in Judicial Island, that good-for-nothing Aokiji failed to capture the Straw Hat Pirates, allowing them to escape, which directly caused the World Government to lose face!

And now?

Even with Kizaru and Akainu attacking together, the Straw Hat Pirates still managed to escape... Does that make sense?

Is it possible that the heavens are favoring this pirate crew?

He doesn't believe it!

"Kizaru was saved by Rayleigh while fighting the Blood-Eyed Ninja," Sengoku said. "You all know Rayleigh's strength; with him around, Kizaru really wouldn't have been able to capture anyone."

The opponent's strength is in no way weaker than that of Marine Admiral!

After all... he's the Vice-Captain of the Pirate King!!

Hearing Sengoku's words, the group exchanged glances, and then Saint Mars said, "Rayleigh is causing trouble again?"

If this guy is planning something big, it'll be a tough situation.

Who Knows this guy will cause some Big News Morgans.

"No, he just thinks highly of the Straw Hat Pirates, so he stopped Kizaru," Sengoku said.

He had to explain this matter, otherwise the Five Elders might order Rayleigh's arrest.

But this is a very unwise thing to do and must be avoided.

"Is that so...?"

Saint Mars breathed a sigh of relief. If they only had eyes for this group of pirates, then there wouldn't be any problems.

As long as this guy doesn't go out to sea again, everything will be fine; otherwise, even more troublesome things might happen.

"What about Akainu?" Saint Vowchuri asked. "Didn't he run into the Straw Hat Pirates?"

"According to Akainu's report, he blocked the Blood-Eyed Ninja, Xi Yan."

"Click~"

Saint Saturn's face immediately contorted with rage, veins bulging, and he roared, "Then why did he still fail?"

Akainu was considered their most promising Marine Admiral.

So... this guy still hasn't managed to catch the person he encountered?

Could that Blood-Eyed Ninja possibly possess power comparable to Marine Admiral?

The thought had barely crossed Saint Saturn's mind when he dismissed it.

Judging from the battle situation on Judicial Island, the enemy does not possess the combat strength of Admiral; otherwise, they would not have needed to use such a complex fighting style.

After all... for someone at the Admiral level, destroying the Buster Call isn't that complicated.

"Because Moria suddenly appeared, he stopped Sakazuki from pursuing the Blood-Eyed Ninja."

"Does that piece of trash have the strength to stop Akainu?"

Saint Saturn's words silenced Sengoku.

Actually... this is something he's quite curious about.

Does that good-for-nothing who only knows how to hide in the Thriller Bark and play with zombies really have the strength to stop Sakazuki?

Even if he regains his Haki, he still can't possibly be a match for Sakazuki.

But the facts are there, and he has no choice but to believe them.

As for whether Akainu deliberately let the other go... he'd rather believe Whitebeard was one of his own than believe Akainu would defect to the enemy.

I'm asking you a question!

"Moria's strength has indeed improved by leaps and bounds," Sengoku explained. "Although he's not as strong as Sakazuki, it's still impossible to defeat him quickly."

"Moria didn't give Sakazuki a chance to kill him either, holding him off for a moment before escaping."

"They escaped..."

Saint Vowchuri was so angry he laughed.

Not only did they fail to capture the Straw Hat Pirates, but they also failed to capture Moria, who came to their doorstep?

Are this Marine Admiral really that useless?

For a moment, Saint Vowchuri didn't know whether making these three people Admiral was the right or wrong decision.

"Moria has mastered the ability to fly, and at an extremely high speed," Sengoku said. "Even if Sakazuki used Geppo to catch up, he wouldn't be able to."

"The Shadow-Shadow Fruit...?"

Saint Saturn immediately understood the crux of the matter; it seems Moria's mastery of Devil Fruit abilities has increased considerably.

"No, according to you, Akainu should have fought the Blood-Eyed Ninja before Moria arrived."

"That's right."

Sengoku nodded, understanding the other's meaning, and explained, "But the Blood-Eyed Ninja possesses an ability that resembles immortality."

"An immortal body?!"

Saint Saturn's pupils constricted instantly. His opponent actually possessed such an ability?

Isn't this the immortal power that Im-sama can bestow upon others?

Why does the other party also possess this ability?

"It's only suspected," Sengoku said. "Akainu briefly fought him but couldn't kill him."

"Every time Akainu destroys the Blood-Eyed Ninja's body, he reappears before Akainu completely unharmed."

At this point, Sengoku's expression became very serious.

When he saw this information, he also felt it was extremely outrageous.

What kind of strange and unusual ability is this?

"Is Akainu certain that he killed the real person?" Saint Saturn asked.

At this point, he had no time to worry about Akainu's potential killing intent; his primary task was to figure out how the other party was immortal.

"Confirmed," Sengoku said. "Akainu's Observation Haki was consistently locked on the target, confirming that he killed the real person!"

And this... is what puzzled them.

What kind of Devil Fruit ability allows someone to be resurrected and launch an attack the instant they are killed?

Is it Mythical Zoan I've never seen before?

Or is it Rule Type ability within the Paramecia?

Saint Saturn paused for a moment, then said, "I'm becoming more and more interested in him."

What exactly is this ability that's almost like immortality?

He was very curious.

If only we could capture them and study them properly.

"No wonder Akainu couldn't take him down," Saint Mars said. "So he has this kind of ability after all."

Saint Mars pondered for a moment. Since the other party hadn't used this ability when they were at Judicial Island, then... it's possible they only recently mastered it.

At that moment, the words "Saint Mars Devil Fruit" came to mind.

He was curious whether some kind of god-level Devil Fruit had appeared and happened to be picked up and eaten by this brat.

That's quite a possibility...

"So, this guy used this very move to lead the Straw Hat Pirates away from the Sabaody Archipelago?"

No, that's not the case.

Upon hearing this, a look of doubt immediately appeared in Saint Nusjuro's eyes.

no?

Could there be another unexpected turn of events?

"Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Shichibukai, somehow appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago," Sengoku said. "And the Straw Hat Pirates were able to leave there alive because of him."

"Click~"

Veins bulged on Saint Nusjuro's face, and his eyes flashed with terrifying killing intent.

So it turns out he's a traitor?

Not only him, but the other four old guys also understood the crux of the matter.

It must have been that Kuma who used his Devil Fruit power to send the Straw Hat Pirates flying!

Otherwise, how could these newcomers have escaped from the encirclement of two Marine Admiral?

Even if that Blood-Eyed Ninja possessed some kind of immortality-like ability, it wouldn't matter, because... everyone else would still die!

But because of that bastard Kuma, the Straw Hat Pirates escaped!

"This is really... unexpected."

"We've received your intelligence," Saint Peter said with a grim face. "Now, focus on dealing with Whitebeard."

"As for the Straw Hat Pirates and Moria... I'll have CP search for their whereabouts."

Saint Peter also knew that this incident couldn't be entirely blamed on the Navy; after all... who could have imagined that so many people would jump out to help the Straw Hat Pirates?

So... let them focus on dealing with Whitebeard.

As for punishment, we'll discuss that later.

"Clear."

"Click~"

Ignoring the Den Den Mushi that ended the call, Saint Saturn said, "Now I understand why the Straw Hat Pirates were able to survive and make their way out of the Thriller Bark."

"It turns out it was all because of this bear!!"

Based on the information I received today, I can now understand what happened before.

Kuma never actually tried to kill the Straw Hat Pirates!!

They might even have helped the Straw Hat Pirates back then.

That despicable bastard!!

"We were really careless..." Saint Mars frowned and said, "Who would have thought this guy would betray us?"

A Shichibukai who willingly served as their lackey would actually betray them for the Straw Hat Pirates?

Saint Mars couldn't quite understand the other party's intentions.

Could it be because Little One Bony escaped after recovering, leaving the bear without any worries, so... he's become more reckless?

"Perhaps... it was a dying madness?" Saint Vowchuri guessed.

Upon hearing this, everyone else fell silent.

While this claim may seem far-fetched, it's not entirely impossible!

"Of course, it's also possible that Kuma knows someone in the Straw Hat Pirates," Saint Peter said.

That makes sense.

"No matter what, we have no way of figuring out what the bear was thinking," said Saint Saturn. "Now that the bear has undergone a consciousness-erasing surgery, even if we kill him, we won't get any useful information."

Because... the bear is dead!

It has truly become Bio-weapon, the Pacifista PX-0!

So... what the bear's purpose really was has become a mystery.

Even they couldn't get any information from the bear.

"Is that so...?"

"Then let's consider how to minimize the impact of this," said Saint Vowchuri.

"Just like I said," Saint Peter said, "Send CP personnel to search for the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Once we find them, we must eliminate them decisively, giving them no chance to show themselves!"

As long as the news that the Straw Hat Pirates are still alive doesn't get out, they haven't completely lost face.

"Reconsider!"

"By the way, find a way to capture that Blood-Eyed Ninja," Saint Saturn said. "I'm becoming more and more curious about his abilities."

That seemingly immortal ability... is it derived from bloodline, or is it from consuming some kind of divine Devil Fruit?

Either way, they're worth getting their hands on!

"Yes, we must capture this Blood-Eyed Ninja!"

"Immortality... This power, which belongs exclusively to adults, should not be found in the lower classes."

"That's right, his very existence is an offense against the majesty of the gods!"

At that moment, the Five Elders reached a consensus: the Blood-Eyed Ninja must be captured!!

"Have Stussy cooperate with CP0 to gather intelligence in the New World," said Saint Vowchuri. "As for Paradise and the Four Seas, let the CP series find them."

"Even if it's like finding a needle in a haystack, we have to find this guy!"

"Reconsider!"
