Rono Returns to the World of the Living! The Marines Are Shaken! The Five Elders Are Shaken!

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

"The Celestial Dragons have been killed? That's great!"

Upon hearing the news of the Celestial Dragons' deaths, Garp burst into laughter.

"Hmph, Garp, your grandson is among the suspects this time!"

Sengoku glared at Garp, annoyed.

"Oh? Luffy doesn't seem like the type to do something like that."

Garp immediately stopped smiling and became serious.

If it were just a matter of being knocked away, that would be fine.

Killing Celestial Dragons directly is indeed a serious matter.

Garp is seriously considering whether he should go to Sabaody Archipelago himself to check on the situation.

His grandson, Ace, had been captured.

If Luffy gets captured again, he'll definitely go berserk.

"Garp, let's see if you can still laugh now."

Sengoku looked smug when he saw his old buddy Garp get humiliated.

"Don't worry, if it really was Straw Hat Kid who did it, I'll shift the blame onto someone else."

However, Sengoku softened and comforted Garp.

Just then, a flash of light appeared in the Fleet Admiral's Office.

The next moment, Kizaru and Akainu appeared, both covered in sweat.

"Was it all done so quickly? Who is the murderer?!"

"Where are the Supernovas? How come they haven't captured a single one?"

Seeing that the two returned so quickly, and not seeing any sign of the suspect, Sengoku asked...

"No... no! Fleet Admiral Sengoku, something terrible has happened!"

"I saw [Most Evil Criminal] in the Sabaody Archipelago!"

"He's not dead!"

"He killed the Celestial Dragons!"

"I can't breathe, "Kizaru said breathlessly.

"What did you say?!"

Sengoku's eyes widened instantly, his gaze sharp and intense, utterly shocked!

Garp, standing to the side, was also stunned! The Senbei he was holding scattered all over the ground!

Even Vice Admiral Tsuru Aokiji and other high-ranking naval officers present were affected.

At that moment, he too was frozen in place, like a statue!

[Most Evil Criminal]!

This name hasn't appeared on the high seas for nearly 40 years!

"Are you kidding me, Kizaru?!"

"Sengoku period," he said with a serious expression.

"How could I possibly joke about such a thing, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"

Kizaru abandoned his usual nonchalant tone and spoke in a very serious manner.

"I saw it with my own eyes! [The Most Evil Criminal] hasn't aged a bit!"

"His aura and strength are as impressive as ever!"

I recall Rono's Conqueror's Haki and Sword Intent in the Sabaody Archipelago!

Akainu was still shaken.

Even if he has now grown into a genuine Admiral Level powerhouse.

He sensed extreme danger when faced with Rono's Conqueror's Haki!

The kind that endangers lives!

Immediately afterwards, Akainu and Kizaru informed the high-ranking Navy officers present of the details regarding the Sabaody Archipelago.

"How could that be? I personally witnessed 20 Admiral Level powerhouses surrounding and attacking him!"

"Then they were all crushed into dust by that terrifying move!"

"He's still alive!"

Sengoku murmured, sitting absentmindedly in his chair!

He, Fleet Admiral Kong, Garp, Zephyr were all eyewitnesses to that great battle!

"[Most Evil Criminal], a man comparable to the Overlord of the Sea Rocks!"

"If he really returns to the human world, the Great Pirate Era will be even more chaotic!"

"The situation might even spiral out of the navy's control!"

Garp, Aokiji, Tsuru, and other high-ranking naval officers wore unusually grave expressions.

After all, they were all eyewitnesses to the Battle of God Valley, and had dealt with Rono!

The infamous reputation of the "Most Evil Criminal" still lingers in people's hearts and cannot be dispelled for a long time.

"In any case, let's report this news to Fleet Admiral Kong and the Five Elders first."

Without further ado, Sengoku dialed Den Den Mushi a type of Den Den Mushi) and called the Holy Land.

The news that "[The Most Evil Criminal] is not dead" is something even I, as the Fleet Admiral, cannot handle.

The call was answered quickly.

At this moment, the Five Elders of the Holy Land were none other than the Five Elders from the original work.

However, nearly 40 years have passed, and these five people have gone from Prime of Life in their prime to being elderly.

"The Five Elders? Important intelligence report: [The Most Evil Criminal] is not dead!"

The Sengoku period gets straight to the point!

"What did you say?!"

On the other end of the phone, five elderly men spoke in surprise simultaneously!

As the five members of the previous Holy Knights, they did not personally participate in the Battle of God Valley.

But their predecessor, the Five Elders, died at the hands of [Most Evil Criminal] and Rocks!

Then, Sengoku reported the detailed intelligence one by one.

The more the Five Elders listened, the more ashen their faces turned!

[The Most Evil Criminal] is not dead, and his momentum is as strong as ever!

This is absolutely a bolt from the blue for the current World Order!

"Okay... I understand!"

"Don't act rashly yet. We'll send a CP member to confirm this."

The Five Elders hung up the phone as soon as they finished speaking.

Inside the Hall of Power in the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

The five men looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

"The return of [Most Evil Criminal] to the world is a major event that could cause a huge change in the World Order!"

"Should we inform Imu first?"

"Forget it! Don't let a mere title scare you!"

"Let's first confirm the purpose of [the Most Evil Criminal's ] return."

The Five Elders decided not to tell Imu about this yet.

I just heard the news and told Lord Imu.

This makes them look incredibly cowardly, scared out of their wits by a Pirate.

"I've already sent CP to investigate."

"Disappeared for almost 40 years, suddenly reappearing in the world, [Most Evil Criminal], what exactly have you been through all these years?"

What is your purpose?

The Five Elders gazed at the sky with ethereal eyes.

Meanwhile, the Sabaody Archipelago.

After scaring away Kizaru and Akainu, Rayleigh took Rono to Shakky's bar.

Besides Rono, the Straw Hat Pirates also came along.

After all, they still need to Rono Coating.

Even some Supernovas were secretly following behind the two.

They were deeply impressed by the momentum that Rono had just displayed!

I'm so curious.

Why do men who look about my age, or even younger, have such strength?

Why was he able to terrify two Admiral like that?

We must find out who this person is!

Rono didn't bother with these Supernovas; let them do whatever they wanted, as long as they didn't bother him.

In Rono's view, Supernovas are no different from ants.

Who cares about a few ants?

Inside the bar, Shakky was smoking and cleaning the bar counter.

"Shakky, look who's here!"

Rayleigh entered the house and exclaimed in surprise. Rono followed Rayleigh inside.

Snap!

The instant I looked up.

The cigarette that Shakky was holding fell to the ground, and he froze on the spot!

"Vice Captain Rono...?"

Shakky stared wide-eyed, completely unable to believe the person he was seeing!

Vice Captain Rono!

Am I dreaming?

"Shakky, it's been a long time," Rono greeted Shakky with a smile.

"It really is you, Vice Captain Rono!"

"You... you're still alive!"

Shakky rushed outside the bar and gave Rono a big hug!

Shakky was also a participant in the Battle of God Valley back then.

I witnessed Rono's heroic figure in the Battle of God Valley.

Don't let her being a woman fool you; she was the former emperor of Amazon Lily.

He was also one of the officers in the Rocks Pirates.

However, he didn't reach the level of a Division Commander.
