If even the highest-ranking officers in the Navy, who knew something about the Five Elders, were so shocked, one can only imagine the inexperienced pirates around the world.
"Those five old men are actually powerful figures on par with Admiral?"
Pirates from all over the world stared in disbelief at the Five Elders on the screen.
I initially thought they were just five useless old men, but I never imagined they were actually powerful figures standing at the top of the world.
"Then what can we use to deal with such World Government?"
The pirates couldn't help but ask themselves these questions.
The navy has Three Admirals and nearly a hundred Vice Admiral, making it one of the strongest in the world.
No matter how arrogant the so-called Four Emperors are, they only control a small corner of the New World.
To put it nicely, that was a regional warlord.
To put it bluntly, they were forced into the New World by the Navy.
Most of the world is under the control of the navy.
And just one Marine was enough to drive the pirates to the New World.
Now that the five old men of the World Government are displaying the aura of Admiral, how will they fight this time?
"The era of pirates has ended."
The pirates truly felt that the era of piracy had ended.
The fall of the Four Emperors and the end of the King of the Pirates bloodline only shattered their confidence.
The appearance of these five old men almost extinguished their hopes.
The Three Admirals of the Marine Headquarters, plus these five old men, plus Sengoku, Garp, and former Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong.
Even the World Government doesn't know what kind of force it possesses in the shadows.
With over ten Admiral- level combatants combined, who on this vast ocean could withstand such a lineup?
"Wait, did you guys just hear what that old man called Red-Haired?" one of the pirates noticed a mistake. "He just called Red-Haired Saint, Figanand Shanks!"
"That's the naming convention of the Celestial Dragons! Could Shanks, Red-Haired of the Four Emperors, be Celestial Dragons!?"
"Impossible! How could Red-Haired be Celestial Dragons! Aren't all Celestial Dragons a bunch of useless pigs?"
"Don't say the Celestial Dragons are useless. They are descendants of the legendary twenty kings; their bloodline can't be bad."
"Besides, aren't those five old men all Celestial Dragons? They're genuinely powerful individuals!"
"But Red-Haired is Celestial Dragons? That's absurd! One is a pirate who claims to be free, and the other is Celestial Dragons who rules the world. They don't match at all!"
One by one, the pirates noticed this title, and they were all shocked and excited.
It's incredibly ironic that someone who reigns supreme among pirates is actually a member of the Celestial Dragons, Celestial Dragons.
Those pirates who used to idolize Shanks felt like the sky had fallen.
I thought Shanks was the successor to the will of Pirate King Roger, and a symbol of the free will of pirates.
Now, this symbol has been tarnished.
The Celestial Dragons are symbols of brutality, stupidity, and arrogance; everyone except their own dogs hates them to the core.
Shanks, Celestial Dragons, became Four Emperors, suppressing countless pirates, much like the Celestial Dragons trampled them underfoot.
They were filled with despair; the World Government belonged to the Celestial Dragons, whose power was so great that pirates could not resist them.
They watched Shanks on the screen, hoping he would step forward and say he wasn't Celestial Dragons.
Even if Shanks said he was Roger's son, an ordinary commoner, and the son of a Marine, they would believe him without hesitation, thinking that was far better than the Celestial Dragons.
On the Red Force.
Shanks looked at the Five Elders with a gloomy expression; his past was a stain on his reputation.
However, the fact that he possesses Celestial Dragons blood is undeniable.
His current achievements are inseparable from the natural gifts of this body.
"Five Elders, even though that bloodline flows in my veins, I have never considered myself Celestial Dragons," Shanks said with a somber expression. "From as far back as I can remember, I have lived on the Roger Pirates' ship; Captain Roger raised me."
"Aside from a slight blood relation, I have no connection whatsoever with the Celestial Dragons. Don't associate yourself with them."
He did not deny his Celestial Dragons bloodline; he disdained to lie.
However, he could not accept the Five Elders lumping him together with the Celestial Dragons.
He would never acknowledge those brutal and foolish Celestial Dragons as his own kind.
"We don't know any Celestial Dragons, we only know our boss Shanks!"
"Lachi Rue said with a loud laugh."
"That's right, the Red-Haired Pirates only have Shanks, Four Emperors! There has never been any Saint Feganande!" Yasopp then stood next to Shanks.
All the members of the Red-Haired Pirates stood firmly on Red-Haired' side.
They wouldn't have any issues with Shanks because he has Celestial Dragons blood.
They followed the Haki Shanks all the way.
Regardless of Shanks' bloodline, he is the sole captain of the Red-Haired Pirates.
"Is the Celestial Dragons' bloodline really that powerful?"
"While staying with the World Government, they're like five Admiral —powerful enough. But if they venture out to sea, they're like the Four Emperors, suppressing countless pirates."
"The World Government is invincible, how can we possibly fight them!"
Pirates around the world were not happy with Shanks' explanation.
Of the Celestial Dragons they knew of, there were six powerful individuals at the Admiral level or above.
On that Red Line, a vast number of Celestial Dragons still live, and who knows how many powerful individuals are hidden among them.
How can they fight against such a World Government?
Among pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates were destroyed by the Navy, and the Beasts Pirates were destroyed by Luo Wen.
Originally there were four sea emperors, but now only Four Emperors remain.
One is the eccentric Charlotte Linlin, who is obsessed with sweets and suffers from intermittent seizures.
Her Big Mom Pirates are almost universally recognized as the weakest of the Four Emperors' crews.
Expecting her to lead the fight against the Navy is completely impossible.
The current number one pirate in the true sense is none other than Red-Haired Shanks, who is known as the most Haki man in the world.
Shanks is a generous and magnanimous man, possesses immense strength, and his pirate crew is comprised entirely of elites.
Without a doubt, if any pirate could lead the charge against the World Government, it would be Shanks.
But Shanks, he's actually Celestial Dragons!
The most powerful pirate, one of the only two remaining Four Emperors, is actually Celestial Dragons!
This is ridiculous! Their leader is of enemy blood, so what's the point of them fighting?
People can't help but ask, should this world be ruled by the Celestial Dragons?
The Celestial Dragons brutal, greedy, stupid, and bloodthirsty... any negative connotation would fit perfectly when applied to Celestial Dragons.
Whether openly or covertly, many people have mocked the Celestial Dragons.
But now, they can't laugh anymore.
The Celestial Dragons' bloodline has produced at least six powerful individuals in this generation, each of whom is among the world's top.
The Navy, controlled by the Celestial Dragons, is the largest violent organization on this sea.
Their strength was far weaker than that of the Celestial Dragons.
They seem destined to be ruled by the Celestial Dragons, unable even to resist.
For a time, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in the shadow of the World Government.
The authority of the World Government instills fear in the weak, terrifies the strong, excites its supporters, and leaves its rebels devastated.
Countless people watched the Five Elders on television with expressions of despair and fear.
