The Five Elders' Reaction, Unexpected Peach Rabbit / Seeking a Fight

A cold glint drew closer and closer to him, leaving behind a series of afterimages in mid-air. In Huake Youjiha's bewildered gaze, Dongze reappeared behind him.

A touch of crimson appeared between the other person's brows, and suddenly their body went limp, collapsing to the ground without a sound.

Dongze unleashed his Sword Intent with this strike. Although it appeared as a small dot from the outside, the Sword Intent completely destroyed the opponent's consciousness and even ravaged their Sword Intent.

Looking at Yukiha lying on the solid ice, Dongze pointed lightly, and Long River broke through the air, its Sword Intent sweeping across, directly turning the opponent into a mummy. Instead, a sweep of Sword Aura turned him into ashes.

Its speed was unbelievable; it completed the decisive kill in just a few seconds.

"It's rare to see such die-hard supporters in the World Government!"

Dongze stood there and sighed twice before returning to the ship on his Flying Sword.

Robin on the ship had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Dongze return, he quickly came over and asked if he was injured and what the details of the battle were.

When she learned who those people were, her expression tightened; she instinctively assumed they were after her.

Dongze waved his hand, "Although I don't know their target here either, it shouldn't be you, otherwise they wouldn't have needed to send out an Admiral- level combatant!"

Robin was startled by these words, her face turning pale. "The Admiral??"

"Hmm! Probably the strongest force of the CP organization!"

Hearing Dongze's unhurried words, Robin was even more surprised. With such formidable combat power, after a fierce battle, Dongze was still not out of breath or red in the face. It was hard to imagine just how strong he had become.

"Dongze, you now~~"

Robin, remembering the question that had been lingering in his mind, couldn't help but ask.

Dongze shrugged, "He's about five times as strong as Garp!"

Robin was taken aback by Dongze's words; this was the first time she had ever heard of combat strength described in this way!

1.5 Garp? What the heck is that? When did Garp become the standard for measuring combat strength?

Besides, her impression of Garp was limited to the time when Dongze and Garp fought on the island. She only knew that he was very strong, but she couldn't really confirm that standard.

Regarding the definition of his own strength, Dongze no longer had a correct standard. In fact, his current strength was equivalent to Garp at level 1.8. If he were to fight Admiral, and the opponent was simply a Devil Fruit user, he could defeat him very quickly.

Because of the passive effect of the Forbidden Law technique on his Sword Intent Domain, his abilities are restricted, and his strength is reduced by ninety-eight percent.

It would be relatively easy for him to fight, but if the opponent is a strong fighter who specializes in physical techniques, like Garp, the fight would still be very difficult.

Just as he said before, his vitality is too tenacious, he is like an unkillable cockroach, and if he has Conqueror's Haki, it may be even more difficult to kill him.

But in the end, I will definitely defeat my opponent; there is no doubt about that.

Another thing is those people you don't know well. If you're careless, they can definitely be killed by your own schemes. Just like this person now, Huake? Youjiha, Admiral- level powerhouse, was completely stunned by your own attack at the beginning.

His Devil Fruit power hadn't even been activated before he was killed by his own strength. If he had waited until he understood his situation, he might have been able to last a few more rounds in the fight.

Of course, this was also his own strategy. If he were too ostentatious and attracted a group attack from the World Government and the Navy, he wasn't sure if he could withstand it.

I wouldn't venture into dangerous places without being absolutely certain of success.

"Dongze, we're almost at Sabaody again~~"

Chapter 102 The Five Elders' Reaction, and the Unexpected Momousagi

Looking at the various bubbles rising in the distance, Dongze felt a sense of emotion.

Nearly ten days have passed since he left the island, but the tense atmosphere still hasn't dissipated.

It seems that the death of Saint Watz has attracted the attention of the World Government. Of course, it may not be those five old men who are holding on, but the Celestial Dragons living in the Holy Land Mary Geoise will certainly not let go.

He could sense that there was at least one Admiral- level naval officer stationed on the island before him, and there were probably quite a few others hiding their presence as well.

In Holy Land Mary Geoise, in a room, five elderly men stood solemnly, the atmosphere eerily oppressive.

"The Vivre Card of Huake has been burned out!"

What was he doing before?

"He already possesses the strength of Admiral!"

"That bastard won't mess with those old fogies, will he?"

"I don't know, but after something like this happened to him, not a single word has come back."

"Could it be one of the Four Emperors?"

Upon hearing this, the air immediately became somewhat heavy. The Four Emperors were a topic that they could not afford to ignore.

The four Pirate Crew that span the New World, the latter half of the Grand Line, are all incredibly powerful, with their pirates even capable of rivaling the World Government and the Navy.

To counterbalance them, the World Government even introduced the somewhat distorted system of the Shichibukai, which created a delicate balance between the World Government, the Navy, the Four Emperors, and the Revolutionary Army.

If Huake really offended the Four Emperors, they wouldn't be able to say anything, and would be left with no recourse but to suffer in silence.

And not a single word has been sent out, which also indicates that the people they provoked are definitely not to be underestimated.

They knew that when the CP organization was deployed, it was rarely, if ever, a solo operation; they were always equipped with at least three Den Den Mushi).

The fact that so many people could remain completely undetected suggests only one thing: the other side must have killed them in a single, decisive move.

Instantly kill an Admiral?

They found this very funny when they thought about it, but an unnatural sense of panic crept into their hearts, spreading uncontrollably.

If killing Admiral instantly means that even wiping out the entire World Government and Navy leadership wouldn't take much effort, then...

That's why the atmosphere during the previous conversation was so heavy. Of course, they didn't say it aloud, but they all understood.

"What should we do about this?"

"Should we continue the investigation?"

"I don't recommend continuing the investigation. Just strengthen oversight. We can discuss other matters after Lord Imu awakens!"

"That's absolutely right. We can't handle an enemy like that! To ensure Imu Im's safe awakening, we should keep a low profile! I second that!!"

I second that!

I second that!

Surprisingly, the Five Elders unanimously chose to back down when faced with this matter. Since the other party was not openly targeting them, they were more willing to coexist peacefully with them.

This conversation also reveals that they have complete confidence in Lord Imu, who has yet to appear, as if they would be able to overcome any difficulties once Lord Imu awakens.

The Admiral- level combatant stationed here is a candidate for Admiral, Momousagi Gion.

Right now, she's at Shakky's Rip-off Bar, chatting with Shakky.

She learned about Shakky through her nominal older sister, Marine Vice Admiral He Cai.

As a member of Pirate King D. Roger's crew, Shakky was already quite strong. In addition, she had Silvers Rayleigh, one of the Pirate King's right-hand men, with her on board. In her spare time, she preferred to come here for a stroll.

Don't forget, she is also a Great Swordsman, passionate about sword Sparring. She isn't particularly interested in young pirates, as long as they stay quietly in the Sabaody Archipelago and don't cause trouble, she's happy to turn a blind eye.

As a descendant of Tsuru, she could clearly see the situation at sea. Capturing one or two pirates would have almost no impact on the overall trend, not to mention that those people were just small fry who had just set sail!

In her eyes, such people were like carp crossing a river, countless in number. As long as they didn't directly confront her or commit any heinous crimes, she couldn't be bothered with them.

"Sister Shakky! When will Mr. Rayleigh be back?"

"Gion, you little brat, I don't know what Tsuru said to you, but you're not afraid at all. We were pirates before we retired from the sea! You just swagger in here like this, aren't you afraid people will gossip?"

"Tch, didn't Sister Shakky say that's all in the past? Now you're just a bar owner! If they dare to gossip, I'll slap them!"

Gion downed the sake in front of him in one gulp and playfully raised his fist.

However, to be fair, Gion wasn't short. Although she wasn't as tall as the Admiral who were over three meters, she was still over two meters tall, and with high heels, she was even taller than Hancock.

"As you know, my husband is a coating craftsman now, and sometimes he can only come back every few days! So I don't know when he'll be back!"

"Honestly, I'd love to Sparring Sparring with him! I've been stuck at the branch office all this time, I'm practically rusting!"

After speaking, Gion stretched her graceful body. Her chest was high but not excessive, and her waist was slender. It was hard to imagine that the beautiful woman in front of her was a Swordmaster.

Suddenly, Gion let out a soft exclamation, and with her Observation Haki, she spotted a somewhat familiar face.

"The Shichibukai — Dongze? What's he doing here?"

Seemingly sensing something, Dongze frowned slightly, a sword light flashing deep in his eyes. His Sword Intent spontaneously protected him, directly severing the opponent's probe.

"Hmm~"

The long-range surveillance Observation Haki, to put it bluntly, are essentially an extension and application of mental abilities. With his Sword Intent becoming increasingly refined, Dongze was already able to sever this trace of mental power to a certain extent.

Gion hadn't anticipated this situation. Before she knew it, the wisp of spiritual power she had extended was crushed to pieces by Dongze, and she couldn't help but groan in pain.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the unusual situation in Gion, Shakky asked with some curiosity.

After catching her breath, Gion said somewhat heavily, "The Shichibukai — Dongze!!"

"A great reputation is never undeserved; there's definitely truth to that. I initially thought he was just a nerdy young man! I never imagined he had such talent!!"

"My sister warned me before that I should never underestimate anyone, but I never took it seriously. I never expected that she would teach me a lesson today!"

Chapter 103 Seeking War

"It's her?"

Halfway there, Dongze paused slightly, his eyes narrowing. He hadn't expected to encounter the female naval Swordmaster he had told Kuina about.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Dongze's unusual behavior, Robin's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he asked softly.

Dongze started walking again, saying as he went, "There's someone on Shakky's side, someone I didn't expect!"

Who is it?

"A Great Swordsman in the Navy, his exact strength is unclear, but even if he doesn't reach the level of Admiral, he probably won't be too far off!"

Robin quickly followed. If we're talking about Admiral- level combat power, Dongze had already dealt with one not long ago. To her, those people might still be unattainable, but to Dongze, they shouldn't be that shocking.

Is there anything unusual about him?

Hearing Robin's words, Dongze's tone remained unchanged as he softly said, "There's nothing particularly special about it, but this Great Swordsman is a woman! Her name should be Gion!"

Upon hearing this, Robin was taken aback. There were many powerful figures on the sea, but few women. Of those she knew, besides Hancock and Shakky, there was only Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors of the New World.

I never expected to encounter another female Great Swordsman of Admiral rank here; such a rare sight in this world.

"She's beautiful?"

Robin's words startled Dongze, who glanced at Robin with some surprise. "Hey, aren't you focusing on the wrong thing? That's a Marine, and a Great Swordsman at that."

However, he didn't say these words. After thinking about what Gion looked like, Dongze nodded in a seemingly respectful manner.

"About the same as you! But I think you're a little prettier!"

Upon hearing Dongze's words, Robin's eyebrows arched and her eyes narrowed into crescents, clearly pleased with what Dongze said.

"Really?"

Sensing Dongze's approach, Gion was about to draw her Famous Sword, Kompira, when Shakky, quick-witted and agile, stopped her.

"Little Gion, stop fooling around!"

Shakky regretted it terribly ever since she learned about Dongze's fighting strength from Rayleigh.

From Rayleigh's description, she also learned just how terrifying this little guy was. On the eve of their parting, she had personally experienced the terror of that Sword Intent. As for Gion now, he was no match for him at all.

For a moment, she couldn't figure out Dongze's style of doing things, and she didn't dare to let Gion take action. If something really happened to her, it would be strange if Tsuru let him off the hook!

"Sister Shakky!"

As soon as Robin entered, she ran over and subtly sized up the female Swordmaster in front of her. She was a head taller than her, with a pair of long, snow-white legs, a perfect figure, and a full chest that seemed about to burst out of her clothes. Her big eyes were exceptionally bright, and her hair was neatly pinned up with a hairpin.

What's most striking about her is the beauty mark on the corner of her mouth and the spider-shaped tattoo on her thigh.

Just as Dongze said, Gion is indeed very beautiful.

She was especially striking in her Vice Admiral's cloak, which added a touch of heroic spirit to her graceful beauty, making her even more stunning.

"Are you a swordsman?"
