Zephyr Had No Choice but to Compromise

Zephyr and Dalmatian exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion.

The same applies to Ain, Binz, Shuzo.

He simply couldn't understand what kind of intelligence could be worth four kingdoms. And that's four kingdoms!

Not the kind of island with only one village, one town, or one small city. Rather, it's a kingdom with a wealthy metropolis...

Before Dalmatian and the others could even figure it out, Judge immediately added, "You guys take your time thinking about it. To show our sincerity, Germa 66 can merge the Marine 33rd Branch first. Tsk tsk..."

After saying that, he let out a meaningful laugh.

This caused Zephyr, Dalmatian, and Ain, Binz, Shuzo to all frown.

You know, Den Den Mushi).

They could perfectly capture even the most subtle expressions and mannerisms on the other person's face. Therefore, they could immediately tell that when Judge smiled, his face was full of threat.

Moreover, there was a hint of warning in the laughter.

Although the words weren't explicitly stated, Zephyr, Dalmatian, Ain, Binz, and Shuzo were all intelligent people, and they immediately understood Judge's meaning.

Either agree to his conditions, become allies, and join forces to deal with Cavendish, Bastille, Tokikake, and Yukimura.

Either he reverses course and sides with Cavendish.

At that point, Germa 66 won't be taking over Marine 33rd Branch, which was just captured by Cavendish, but rather Branch 66, where they currently reside...

To put it simply and bluntly, it's about whether they are enemies or friends.

It all depends on their single thought.

Zephyr looked at Dalmatian, Dalmatian looked back at Zephyr. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward.

Because Judge was a blatant threat.

If it were any other time, they would have taught him a lesson. He dares to threaten just anyone? Does he really think their navy is a pushover?

However, given the current situation, it's not easy for things to get complicated.

Moreover, Germa 66 is no ordinary force or kingdom. Its strength is among the top in the New World. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it is a super force second only to the Emperor Level pirate crews.

If these guys actually side with Cavendish, things will get really bad.

Dalmatian couldn't help but look at Zephyr.

Because even if Zephyr himself intervenes, he might not be able to defeat Germa 66 and Cavendish, which would cause the situation in the North Blue to deteriorate rapidly.

When the entire North Blue opposes the Navy and the World Government, then the North Blue will have no place for the Navy to stand.

After all, the World Government and Navy are not what they used to be. They have suffered heavy losses at the hands of Moke... and they simply don't have enough manpower to suppress the North Blue.

Only Sengoku, Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru had some freedom.

However, if the worst-case scenario occurs in the North Blue, it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction. At that time, in addition to the East Blue, which is the weakest point, the West Blue and the South Blue will also be affected.

After all, these two sea areas are not weak either.

Once North Blue sets an example, they will surely follow suit.

"Well..."

The consequences were too severe; it seemed they had no other choice. Dalmatian sighed deeply, then looked at Zephyr.

If Dalmatian could understand the seriousness of the situation, how could Zephyr not?

Even though he was unwilling and resentful, Zephyr still nodded to Dalmatian.

Ain, Binz, Shuzo clenched their fists in unison, feeling utterly humiliated by Judge's threat and the Navy's helpless retreat.

One day, they will make this arrogant Judge regret his threats.

Having received Zephyr's reply, Dalmatian nodded. "Alright... I agree on behalf of the Navy."

As he said this, Dalmatian nearly ground his teeth to powder. The humiliation he felt was even more intense because he had personally agreed to it.

"Hahaha..."

Judge, on the other side, burst into laughter. "I'm already near Marine 33rd Branch. I think I can take back this branch in less than a day. I hope you will come here to meet me in seven days."

At that time, I will need you to provide a written agreement. Of course, once the agreement is reached, I will share the major intelligence I know with you free of charge."

Dalmatian nodded. "Okay, it's a deal!"

Judge: "It's a deal."

Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Previously Judge, Cavendish, Bastille, and Tokikake put on a show. Judge, Ichiji, Ichiji, Reiju, Niji Yonji fiercely, each one more ferocious than the last.

They make others believe that they are in a hostile state.

Cavendish, Bastille, and Tokikake were beaten so badly that although they eventually escaped, they were all seriously injured.

However, anything that wasn't severed, like an arm or a leg, could be quickly healed under Moke's eerie Holy Sword.

So, everything was ready, and all that was left was for Ze to fall into the trap.

But on the sixth day, which was one day before Zephyr was due to reach the Marine 33rd Branch, the Den Den Mushi in Moke's arms rang again.

"Um?"

Moke looked surprised because of the timing.

He really couldn't figure out who it could be.

However, he immediately answered the call, "This is Moke."

The other party immediately replied, "Captain, this is Robin. I have received accurate information that the World Government has dispatched the Knights of God. Their targets are O-Tama and Sugar, and we were already a step too late when we received the intelligence."

These guys are almost at Wano Country. So, I suggest the captain take a break, no matter what he's doing out there.

"Return to Wano Country and settle things with them."

"The Knights of God?"

Moke's face showed surprise. He knew that the World Government and the Navy would never let him continue to grow stronger. It was only a matter of time before they sent people to deal with him.

But to everyone's surprise, the Knights of God were dispatched. They were the last line of defense protecting the Holy Land. Under normal circumstances, these guys would never leave the Holy Land.

Moke's lips curled up slightly, a hint of surprise in his expression.

You have to understand, these guys are all elites of the Celestial Dragons. So even the Five Elders can't completely command them. To get them to obey your every word, there's only one person.

That is Imu, on the Empty Throne in the Holy Land.

That's right, it's Imu.

He is the only person in the entire world who possesses such supreme power.

"Tsk tsk..."

The thought filled Moke with excitement. He knew that Imu would be his ultimate opponent. They would meet sooner or later... but he hadn't expected it to come so soon.
