Sengoku's Trouble

Upon hearing this, Sabo, Karasu, Morley, and Lindbergh's expressions changed drastically.

You should know that their purpose in coming here was to rescue the bear.

However, Sabo and Karasu reacted the fastest among the four, with Sabo immediately asking, "What do you mean by 'regaining consciousness'?"

Moke was slightly taken aback, looking at the two of them with some surprise. "You don't know?"

He then added, "You know those Pacifista who looked exactly like Kuma during the Marineford War, right?"

Sabo, Karasu, Morley, Lindbergh exchanged glances and then nodded.

Although they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

However, everyone has heard of it. After all, Pacifista was a very prominent element in the Summit War.

It's hard not to notice.

Besides, they all looked exactly like bears, so naturally they paid even more attention. How could they not know?

Moke: "Those Pacifista are just copies that Vegapunk created when he modified Kuma. And Kuma himself, now, is just like those Pacifista —a machine that obeys others, completely devoid of his own consciousness."

"In other words, bringing back this real bear is not much different from bringing back a Pacifista."

"What?"

Sabo, Karasu, Morley, Lindbergh all gasped in surprise.

The four of them then exchanged glances.

Finally Lindbergh asked with some disbelief, "Then... then... the bear, doesn't that mean it's already dead?"

Moke nodded. "More or less! However, sending him to Vegapunk might offer a chance for him to regain his original consciousness, or rather, his memories. After all, that guy's scientific abilities are unmatched. Just because others can't do it doesn't mean he can't."

Upon hearing Moke's words, Sabo, Karasu, Morley, and Lindbergh's eyes lit up.

Because they also felt it made sense; after all, Vegapunk was not someone who could be defied common sense.

After a moment of silence, the Karasu pressed on, "What do you want us to do?"

Upon hearing this, Moke turned to look at the Karasu and laughed, "You're quite decisive, so I'll be decisive too. I'm going to do something big here, and I'm short-handed."

"Brush..."

Upon hearing this, Sabo, Karasu, Morley, Lindbergh all looked at Saint Rosward and Saint Charlos lying on the ground.

His eye twitched a few times.

They realized that two Celestial Dragons had died; how could this be a small matter?

Wrong!

Two Celestial Dragons have already died, what are they waiting for if they don't leave?

What other big things are we going to do?

Seeing the four people's expressions, Moke smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of besieging a point to attack reinforcements?"

"Besiege the enemy's stronghold and attack their reinforcements???" Moke looked completely bewildered.

"What do you mean?" Lindbergh asked, his eyes filled with confusion.

Sabo and Karasu were slightly taken aback, but they immediately understood the meaning of his words. They exchanged a glance, then looked at Moke in disbelief. "You're not thinking of using these two Celestial Dragons as bait to lure the World Government and the Navy here? So we can ambush them?"

"Brilliant!" Moke exclaimed.

But she quickly added, "However, it wasn't just these two who died. I also caught one alive! It's quite good-looking, though; I'm planning to take it home to warm my bed or something."

Sabo: "..." (⊙o⊙) What did I just hear?

Karasu: "..." Σ(๑º㉨º๑ ) He said he also caught one alive.

Morley: "..."d(ŐдŐ๑) He said he would take it back to warm his bed.

Lindbergh: "..." Σ(ﾟдﾟlll) Listen to what he's saying. Using Celestial Dragons as bed warmers, is this the magnanimity of a pirate emperor?

"Gurgle... hiss..."

After regaining their senses, the four of them swallowed hard.

They gasped again, and their gazes toward Moke changed once more.

That guy is a lunatic!

Moreover, looking at the smile on Moke's face, it had the air of someone who had succeeded in their evil scheme. It was as if they had already boarded a pirate ship.

Sabo, Karasu, Morley, Lindbergh exchanged another glance.

This is troublesome!

I'm afraid that by now, the powerful figures from the World Government and the Navy are already on their way. Even if we wanted to leave, we wouldn't be able to!

"What?"

The five people currently facing off—Ku, Sengoku, Garp, Gion, Tokikake —all wore expressions of shock.

They really had to believe their ears.

Real!

Kill the Celestial Dragons!

And he killed two of them at once?

The world is really changing!

"Hahaha, well done! I've wanted to do this for a long time." After realizing what he meant, Garp couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He laughed with absolute abandon.

Sora, Sengoku: "..."

Gion, Tokikake: "..."

Kong and Sengoku were immediately enraged and roared in unison, "Garp, shut up!"

Gion and Tokikake exchanged a glance, inwardly thinking, "That's satisfying."

If it weren't for the Five Elders and other Celestial Dragons' insistence on interfering, the two of them would have already rightfully assumed the position of Marine Admiral.

Now you're in a panic!

Tsk tsk!

Of course, they weren't Garp. Although they were secretly gloating, they couldn't show it.

Sometimes, they really envied Garp's fearlessness and his ability to do whatever he wanted.

The one who came to inform them was Rob Lucci from CP0, whose eyes were twitching uncontrollably. Of all the people in the entire World Government and Navy, only Garp dared to speak like that.

But unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it.

His reputation and power are such that even the Five Elders and the World Government wouldn't dare to easily touch him.

At this moment, Rob Lucci looked at Gion and Kake Tokikake added, "The Five Elders said that this is also a test for you. If you can demonstrate sufficient strength, one of you will become Marine Admiral. The other will go to the Red Line and serve as Admiral in the Army."

Upon hearing this, Gion Tokikake's eyes lit up.

Not only them, but also Kong, Sengoku, Garp's expressions changed.

That's a lot of information.

This reveals that the Five Elders have compromised with them. While their faction's strength cannot advance further, the Navy's position has been stabilized.

Moreover, in the future, we might be able to expand our manpower to the army.

This is absolutely fantastic news!

Sora, Sengoku, Garp exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious. The more serious they became, the more it proved that this operation absolutely could not fail.

Because the killing of Celestial Dragons has touched a raw nerve with the Five Elders, the entire World Government, and the Celestial Dragons.

If they handle this well, everything will go in a positive direction for them, especially if they're Dove Faction. But if they fail, someone will likely have to take the blame again.

The last Marineford War was between him, Sengoku, and Tsuru.

Both of them stepped down from their leading roles... but what about this time?

Sora and Sengoku looked at Garp, then at Gion and Tokikake. After thinking it over, only these three could take the blame.
