Before the War, the King of Cowards Found His Courage
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
At this moment, the Five Elders' faces were ashen, and their eyes were filled with rage as they looked at Luo Wen.
They never expected that Luo Wen would be so eloquent, managing to portray the World Government as pirates, and that he even knew how to refute it.
The intention was to label Luo Wen as an enemy of justice, but now the World Government has become the biggest villain in the world.
The Five Elders' lips twitched as they looked at the dazed navy in the square.
They could already imagine the reactions around the world; the number of people around the world who wanted to rebel against the World Government had increased dramatically.
Unfortunately, it's too late to shut down the Visual Transponder Snail now; everyone knows the true nature of the World Government.
Next, they need to defeat Luo Wen -on in order to restore the World Government's authority.
"Luo Wen, you dare to come to Marine Headquarters alone? Today is your death day!"
Saint Saturn looked at the composed Luo Wen and roared angrily.
"What, you're not going to debate justice and evil with me anymore?"
Luo Wen said with a hint of amusement.
If he couldn't win an argument, he would simply skip it; these five old men really were like clowns.
"We're not going to waste our breath on you. Let's settle this with strength!" Saint Nusjuro drew his Kitetsu and said to Luo Wen in a deep voice.
"So eager to die? Have you forgotten what it felt like to be chopped in two?" Luo Wen said coldly, narrowing his eyes.
He was still thinking of talking to these five idiots for a while, continuing to cloak the Neo Marines in a veil of justice.
"Of course I haven't forgotten, we were completely unharmed by your attack!"
The Five Elders burst into laughter, their bodies swelling into terrifying phantom beasts and demons.
Five terrifying behemoths, each tens of meters tall— Ox Demon, Sandworm, Fengxi, Horse Bone, Itsumade— stood on the spot, their towering black aura filling the entire Marine Headquarters.
Beneath the five giant demons, black and red energy flowed along strange array patterns.
Around this magic circle, they possess the ability to resurrect infinitely.
No matter how powerful you, Luo Wen, how can you kill an immortal demon!
They viewed humans as insects because they had surpassed humanity and reached the realm of immortal demons.
This is their confidence in dealing with Luo Wen: five immortal Admiral, none of them can stand against them!
"Luo Wen, do you really think you can kill even gods just because you're called the Godslayer?" Ox Demon's voice shook the air, resounding throughout Marine Headquarters like a giant drum. "We are immortal demons! What makes you think you can kill us!"
"That's really interesting; this is the first time I've ever heard something like that."
A smile played on Luo Wen's lips as he murmured softly.
He's always the one saying these things to others; I never expected it to be the other way around today.
However, what is immortality in the mere world of One Piece compared to the power of a World-Extreme Noble Phantasm?
Luo Wen switched Shusui to his left hand, while extending his right hand horizontally into the air.
As golden particles surged, he grasped a Sun God Spear flowing with golden-red flames.
It is not the Spear of the End bestowed by Indra Thunder God, but the [Blade of Immortality] given by Axe-Wielding Mara, which manifests as the Golden Sun God Spear in the hands of Karna, the Lancer-class warrior.
"It's finally here! The gun!"
The Five Elders contracted sharply as they looked at Luo Wen, who was wielding both a knife and a gun.
Since the battle of the East Blue, they have been keeping a close eye on Luo Wen, hoping to obtain information about the spear.
Unfortunately, after that, Luo Wen never drew his gun again, seemingly because there was no opponent worthy of his fight.
And now, the golden Divine Spear that they had been longing for and fearing had finally appeared.
"What, scared?" Luo Wen casually twirled his spear, the Sun God Spear pointing directly at the Five Elders: "Kneel down and die, and I'll grant you a quick death!"
"Stop talking nonsense! We are immortal, why should we be afraid!" Saturn shouted confidently. "Today, this will be your burial ground, a testament to the supreme authority of the World Government!"
The phantom beasts transformed from the Five Elders were restless, and a heavy, oppressive atmosphere enveloped the entire Marine Headquarters.
Tens of thousands of sailors remained silent, raising their Fire Pistol in preparation for an attack on Luo Wen.
They witnessed the Five Elders come back to life, completely unharmed.
They thought the Five Elders would win, since they also had the Three Admirals plus Sengoku to fight together.
The man who denigrated the Navy to nothing, Luo Wen, will eventually die at Marine Headquarters.
Some radical and stubborn naval personnel, and others who shared the same interests as the World Government, felt a burning rage as they looked at Luo Wen, who was filled with murderous intent.
This guy who tarnished the image of the Navy will eventually die here.
Once Luo Wen dies, the so-called Neo Marines is nothing but a disorganized mess and nothing to fear.
The other naval forces, their ideals shattered, were in a daze, but everything would have to wait until after this battle.
However, just as a major battle was about to break out, a young navy man with pink hair suddenly rushed out of the formation.
"It's Koby, Vice Admiral Garp's apprentice!"
Why did he rush out?
"Does he intend to fight Luo Wen head-on? While his courage is commendable, it's incredibly overconfident!"
"No matter what, their courage surpasses ours!"
"I was jealous of him for getting promoted so quickly because of his connection with Vice Admiral Garp. I misunderstood him. This is what he deserves!"
The previously subdued navy was taken aback by Koby's sudden action.
They didn't know what Koby was planning, and they all thought he would bravely come out to fight like his master Garp.
Although it was overestimating his abilities, his courage was enough to earn the admiration of all the navy personnel.
Koby stood at the front of the navy, under the expectant gazes of all the navy personnel.
His legs trembled, and tears streamed down his face as he cried out, "Stop fighting! Give up this pointless war!"
"Today, a Four Emperors pirate crew and tens of thousands of Marines have died here. The sacrifices have been enough. Stop fighting!"
"Look at those wounded sailors, they don't want to fight anymore!"
While Whitebeard attacked Marine Headquarters, he was paddling along the vast battlefield.
Watching the vicious pirates kill the marines and his comrades fall one after another, his heart was filled with fear.
When the Whitebeard Pirates were completely defeated, he was happy, thinking the war was over.
But Shanks and Luo Wen, who followed, were even more terrifying than the last.
Looking at Luo Wen's godlike and demonic performance, he was so afraid that he wouldn't even be able to stand steadily when he arrived at his destination.
Now that war was truly about to break out, he knew he had to stand up and speak for all the wounded sailors, keeping those who feared war away from it.
He wanted to speak for all the navy personnel and voice their sentiments.
He wants to...
Surrender!
Koby raised his head and shouted with all his might, "Comrades, Marines, speak your minds with me! The World Government and the Godslayer can't fight anymore! Form an alliance and rule the world together!"
