He Was Already Admiral Level? The Five Elders and the Marines Were Shocked
"The World's Highest Authority! The Five Elders!"
"The Five Elders are here too? Incredible!"
"The Five Elders actually managed to stop Rocks, Golden Lion, and Shiki! Are they really that strong?"
The Five Elders' arrival shocked everyone present, even the members of the Rocks Pirates!
Everyone knew that the Five Elders were the World's Highest Authority, but they had no idea these people were so powerful!
Even the Marines had no idea.
Only a few Marines who knew the truth, along with Rocks, Rono, Whitebeard, Shiki, and the others, remained calm.
Would anyone really willingly submit to those useless Celestial Dragons?
Wasn't it because these Celestial Dragons had powerful people backing them?
At the end of the day, this was a world where might made right!
Whoever had the strongest fists was God!
If the Celestial Dragons really were a bunch of useless freeloaders, someone would have stormed the Holy Land Mary Geoise long ago and riddled those swine with bullets.
Would they really have been allowed to rule the world for 800 years?
Of course, the Five Elders were merely "put on display" by someone else.
The real power behind the scenes was someone else entirely.
The King of the World-Imu!
Even as a transmigrator, Rono had no idea how strong Imu really was.
He only knew that this person was the true ruler of the World Government, an Immortal who wielded some kind of terrifying power.
"But the Five Elders being this strong is still beyond my expectations."
After probing them with Observation Haki, Rono was still somewhat surprised.
The five of them had roughly equal auras, each at Emperor-Admiral Level.
The World Government's reserves of power were truly deep.
Moreover, these five were different from the Five Elders in the original work. After all, the Five Elders in the original work should only have been in their thirties or forties at this point.
But all five of these old men already had gray hair.
Did the Five Elders get replaced, too?
Besides the Five Elders, a group of masked CP0 agents had also appeared at the scene!
Among them were some formidable fighters.
At least ten of them had the strength of Elite Vice Admirals from Marine Headquarters.
When they saw the scene, they were also taken aback.
"The Marines have been beaten into this state!"
"Is the Rocks Pirates really this powerful?"
They rarely dealt with pirates, so they had no idea just how formidable the world's strongest Pirate Crew was.
Now they saw that the world's strongest Pirate Crew was far more powerful than they could have imagined.
"Over there, too! Look—the three gods have been killed!"
Just then, a sharp-eyed CP0 agent cried out in alarm!
He had spotted the corpses of three Celestial Dragons at the scene!
And standing beside those corpses was a young man, about 2.5 meters tall (Rono's body was still growing).
He wore a clean White Shirt and Black Trousers!
His Bounty was 1.5 billion!
The Seventh Division Commander of the Rocks Pirates!
The [Most Evil Criminal], Rono!
After seeing the three Celestial Dragons' corpses, the CP0 agents were first stunned!
Then, once they came to their senses, each of them turned toward Rono, radiating killing intent!
Though their masks hid their expressions, Rono could clearly feel how furious these CP0 agents were!
They probably wouldn't have been this angry even if their own fathers had died.
"You bastard! You actually committed deicide!"
"You've committed a heinous crime punishable by death, Commoner!"
At least three Elite Vice Admirals from Marine Headquarters immediately moved in around Rono.
"Rokushiki Ogi: Annihilation!"
One of the faster CP0 agents reached Rono and unleashed a Rokushiki Ogi!
It was a technique that combined the six powers of the Six Powers.
It was extremely powerful. When unleashed, it created a massive shock wave that passed through the body and damaged the internal organs.
It was a low-grade version of Armament Haki: Ryuo.
"Wait! Rono is already at Admiral Level! Don't go looking for a death wish!"
Just then, the young Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke up from the side!
This information needed to be relayed to everyone present as soon as possible!
After all, the battle just now had been incredibly intense.
Kong, Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr had all been fighting at full strength. How could they have paid attention to what was happening outside the battlefield?
Only Tsuru had seen Rono display strength that was in no way inferior to an Admiral Level fighter!
If they still thought Rono was only as strong as his 1.5-billion Bounty suggested, they would suffer badly!
"What?!"
Before the CP0 agent could react, the Famous Sword Kotetsu passed through his body with ease!
Ryuo pierced through the CP0 agent's body in an instant, shattering his internal organs on the spot!
The next moment, the CP0 agent fell into a pool of blood!
"Admiral Level?!"
"Rono has reached Admiral Level?"
"Tsuru, you're not joking, are you?"
Tsuru's words left Kong, Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, the Five Elders, and everyone else at the scene utterly shocked!
He had only been at sea for a short time, and he already had Admiral Level strength?
Even though they knew just how monstrous Rono's talent was, the high-ranking Marines and the Five Elders were still so shocked by the news that they froze on the spot!
Admirals and Vice Admirals seemed to be only one step apart.
But the gap between them was like a chasm!
There were only three Admiral positions in the entire Marine force!
Admirals were also known throughout the world as the World Government's highest combat power!
Of course, that was the highest combat power in the open.
Vice Admirals were far less impressive.
They ranged from Admiral candidates and Elite Vice Admirals at Marine Headquarters,
to ordinary Vice Admirals at Headquarters, as well as Vice Admirals in Marine Base branches scattered around the world!
There were at least dozens of Vice Admirals across the entire Marine system!
That was enough to show the vast difference between the two, like the difference between clouds and mud!
Even an Elite Vice Admiral from Headquarters would be instantly defeated by an Admiral!
"That's the Seventh Division Commander of our Rocks Pirates!"
"Of course he'd be that strong!"
Whitebeard laughed heartily. Seeing the Marines' high-ranking officers make those faces felt so good!
"Just watch, Marine Headquarters, you old Five Elders-Rono is far more terrifying than you can imagine!"
"Your end is coming!"
Seeing the Five Elders' expressions, as if they'd eaten shit,
Rocks felt utterly refreshed!
The Five Elders, and the people behind you!
You useless fools, just wait to die!
Even I find Rono's talent terrifying!
You have no idea how frightening that guy is!
"Damn it! He's actually an Admiral Level fighter!"
The other two CP0 agents hadn't expected their comrade to be instantly defeated!
Their strength wasn't much different from his. Wouldn't they also be instantly defeated if they went up?
So the two of them immediately turned and ran.
"Trying to run?"
Rono sneered and released his Conqueror's Haki.
A Dark Red Aura coiled around Kotetsu, giving off a dangerous yet alluring aura.
"Die!"
He swung twice in succession. The two CP0 agents had clearly dodged, yet they found themselves cut anyway!
"What kind of ability is this...?"
Beneath their masks, the two CP0 agents slowly closed their eyes, their faces filled with shock!
They had clearly dodged, yet they were still cut. They had never heard of an ability like this!
"Three elite Vice Admirals just died like that!"
"This is Conqueror's Haki Coating!"
"What?! He's already mastered Conqueror's Haki Coating?!"
At that moment, Kong, Zephyr, Sengoku, and Garp saw with their own eyes that Rono had actually mastered Conqueror's Haki Coating!
The four of them immediately sucked in a breath!
There was no doubt that possessing Conqueror's Coating meant entering the ranks of Emperor-Admiral-level powerhouses!
This newcomer had advanced to the Emperor-Admiral level in no time—a level that many people could never reach in their entire lives!!
