The More He Thought About It, the More Terrifying It Became
Moreover, Sabo, Karasu, Morley, and Lindbergh are all exceptionally strong. Sabo and Karasu, in particular, are capable of holding their own against Admiral.
Now, Moke has a considerable fighting force around him.
Taking down Moke, Sabo, and Karasu together will be no easy task. Even with their lineup, they will likely have to pay a price.
However, Saint Peter, Saint Warcury, and Saint Nusjuro became excited again.
But if we really take down these three today, not only will Moke's gang be leaderless and eventually collapse, but Dragon's Revolutionary Army will also suffer a major blow.
The corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.
But the next second, their smiles froze. Kizaru added, "That guy Moke also said that this time, he's using Saint Rosward, Saint Charlos, and Shalria as bait to lure the Holy Land's and the Navy's strongest warriors there. The goal is to leave the Holy Land vulnerable so his people can launch a Holy Land attack."
"Ah?!!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present—whether it was Saint Peter, Saint Warcury, and Saint Nusjuro, or Rob Lucci, Kaku, Jabra, Guernica, Joseph, and Gismonda standing behind them—widened their eyes in astonishment.
It was as if I had heard the most incredible thing in the world.
A sneak attack on the Holy Land?
How dare he?
That's Holy Land.
But then I thought, this guy is someone even the Bian Celestial Dragons dare to mess with. And he attacked three of them at once...
Think carefully, what is the purpose?
What benefit would it bring to Moke to attack Saint Rosward, Saint Charlos, and Shalria? Or rather, what kind of interest would Moke have that would allow him to directly take action against three Celestial Dragons?
Saint Peter, Saint Warcury, and Saint Nusjuro exchanged glances, a sense of foreboding creeping into their hearts.
Saint Peter: "This guy, is he really going to attack the Holy Land?"
Saint Warcury, however, denied it, saying, "If we were really going to attack the Holy Land, why would we say it in front of Kizaru?"
Saint Nusjuro offered a different perspective. "Perhaps he's doing the opposite. He's trying to mislead us, making us think he won't actually attack the Holy Land. Don't forget, he did attack three Celestial Dragons. Why would he do that if there wasn't a huge benefit to be gained?"
After saying that, he added, "If he wasn't planning to attack the Holy Land, what was he trying to do?"
Saint Peter nodded in agreement. "Besides, we can't afford to gamble."
Upon hearing this, both Saint Warcury and Saint Nusjuro nodded in agreement. They certainly couldn't afford to gamble, in case it was true.
Even with just the other two Five Elders, the remaining CP0 members, and even the army, it would be extremely difficult to stop the Moke Pirates' attack.
Even if we were to repel them, the Holy Land would suffer irreparable damage in such a massive battle. Not only would it be subjected to widespread destruction, but many Celestial Dragons would also die or be wounded.
At that time, not only will the Celestial Dragons be completely dethroned, but the World Government will also be questioned by everyone...
Most importantly, even Lord Imu might be alarmed. If Lord Imu were to hold them accountable, would they still be able to hold onto their positions as the Five Elders?
Despite being the five highest-ranking Celestial Dragons, many within the Celestial Dragons covet their positions.
Don't assume that only those five Celestial Dragons are capable, and the rest are all useless...
After all, the Celestial Dragons possess the most wealth, the highest status, and the best resources in the world. As long as you have the will to become stronger, your strength will definitely not be lacking.
If one also possesses exceptional talent, becoming a top-tier expert like them is almost a certainty.
Saint Peter, Saint Warcury, Saint Nusjuro pondered for a moment before making their decision.
Saint Peter: "I'll take Rob Lucci, Kaku, Jabra with me! You two take your respective men back."
Saint Warcury and Saint Nusjuro nodded. "Okay!"
Then, Saint Nusjuro turned to the other warship and said to Sora, Sengoku, Garp, Gion, Tokikake, "Keep an eye on them and don't give them a chance to slack off. This time, even if we can't take down Moke, we must at least take down Sabo, Karasu, Morley, and Lindbergh..."
Saint Peter nodded. "Don't worry! This time, we definitely won't leave empty-handed."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed off with both legs and soared into the air, leaping onto the warship on their side.
Rob Lucci, Kaku, Jabra followed closely behind.
"Well?"
Sora, Sengoku, Garp, Gion, Tokikake looked at them with puzzled expressions.
Immediately afterwards, they discovered that Saint Warcury and Saint Nusjuro had turned back with other people.
"Are we heading back to the Holy Land?"
The five people exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.
He thought to himself, "Has something big happened this time?"
Saint Peter noticed their confusion and, without hiding anything, repeated Kizaru's words.
"Oh, this..."
Sora, Sengoku, Garp, Gion, Tokikake stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"A sneak attack on the Holy Land? They really dare to say that, they really dare to think that!"
He added in his mind, "And this guy actually dared to do it!"
That's the scary part.
Sora and Sengoku exchanged a glance; this was an open conspiracy. A conspiracy in which no matter which choice you made, you could potentially fall into the other's trap.
Sengoku's gaze first swept over Sora, Garp, Gion, Tokikake, then finally settled on Saint Peter, Rob Lucci, Kaku, and Jabra.
How perceptive was Saint Peter?
He immediately asked, "Sengoku, is there something you want to say?"
Sengoku nodded. "Can you confirm that only Moke and his two newly recruited crew members are on the Sabaody Archipelago?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present, including Saint Peter, Gion Garp, Tokikake, and Kake, underwent a series of changes in expression.
Because this statement reveals too much information.
But at this moment, Sengoku added, "Now that the Revolutionary Army has joined forces with Moke's group, if Moke comes in person, where is Dragon?"
"But Sabo, Karasu, Morley, and Lindbergh are probably not on par with Moke!"
"Hiss..."
Following the words and thoughts of the Sengoku, a fact emerged that sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
That's Moke's gang and Dragon's gang; perhaps they really have gathered all their strength, just waiting for them to arrive...
If that happens...
That makes sense in telling Kizaru about the attack on the Holy Land. Because their target wasn't the Holy Land at all, but rather those of them who went to Sabaody Archipelago to save Shalria.
I specifically told this to Kizaru because I was worried that if too many of them went, we wouldn't be able to devour them quickly enough...
