Xia Chen looked at the Celestial Dragons in front of him, his cold eyes carrying a hint of doubt.
He didn't understand why these Celestial Dragons dared to be so arrogant after the events of Paramount War.
Putting aside Xia Chen, who killed Five Elders, even other pirates will inevitably feel less fear of the Celestial Dragons after learning about this!
But thinking about it, it's understandable. After all, the Paramount War just ended not long ago, and it's normal that these pigs haven't realized their current position yet!
Therefore, upon hearing Xia Chen's words, Mobus ' face immediately contorted with rage. Before even seeing Xia Chen, he roared at the surrounding men in black:
"Who is it? Arrest him immediately! How dare he defy a noble Celestial Dragons like me! I'll make him wish he were dead!"
However, when Mobus turned around, he found that the scene before him was very different from what he had expected.
The scenario he had imagined—his men pinning the person who had offended him to the ground—did not occur. Instead, his men were all several meters away from him.
He stared at the handsome man standing not far from him, his eyes filled with fear!
If you look closely, you can even see that their legs are trembling uncontrollably.
Mobus was instantly enraged upon seeing this and unleashed a barrage of attacks on them.
"You bunch of useless trash, how dare you disobey my orders? Didn't you hear me tell you to seize him?"
But no matter what he said, they remained frozen in place, without making the slightest move.
Until one of them said tremblingly, "Emperor Xia Chen, the Rex Lapis! You're still alive!!"
"What's wrong with me not being dead? What? You really want me to die?"
Xia Chen looked at the person and asked, his tone extremely calm, yet it seemed to carry immense pressure, causing the person's legs to buckle and he to collapse to the ground.
"Tch, boring!"
Seeing this person's behavior, Xia Chen immediately felt extremely bored.
"With such meager courage, Celestial Dragons they can be bodyguards for those pig-like Celestials? Does the World Government really have no one else to rely on?"
Xia Chen looked down at the group and spoke, completely unaware of how renowned his reputation had become. His reaction was perfectly normal!
He single-handedly broke through the Marine Headquarters and killed the Five Elders, who held the highest authority in the World Government. Each of these feats alone is enough to strike fear into the hearts of countless people!
Xia Chen gently raised his hand, and before anyone could see him make any move, the group of men in black were instantly sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air before landing on the ground with a dull thud.
Without exception, they all lay peacefully on the ground, their bodies devoid of any sign of life.
After doing all this, Xia Chen turned his gaze to Mobus, who was standing to the side.
Mobus had been so arrogant just moments before, was now sprawled on the ground, using his hands to brace himself as he retreated, his face filled with utter terror.
At the same time, her voice trembled as she said, "You... you don't come any closer!"
Ever since Mobus heard Xia Chen's name, he has been gripped by endless fear.
The name Xia Chen is now a taboo subject for the Celestial Dragons. Not a single Celestial Dragons can hear that name without their legs going weak!
He was the same way! Mobus was kicking himself for coming here to join in the fun when he had nothing better to do!
Having encountered this killing machine, it's safe to say he's going to lose his life here today!
Thinking of this, Mobus unconsciously let out a pool of yellow liquid from his genitals.
Xia Chen's eyes flashed with disgust upon seeing this, and his determination to eradicate these bastards grew even stronger.
Xia Chen raised his palm, and with a slight flick of his fingertips, a burst of energy shot towards Mobus.
"Pfft!"
A sound of flesh being pierced rang out, and a bloody hole appeared in Mobus's head. His backward-moving body lost its strength and collapsed to the ground.
Xia Chen slowly turned around, leaving only two words.
"Unlucky!"
--
After some time, the people on the Sabaody Archipelago also began to slowly awaken.
They soon discovered Mobus dead there, and their faces were filled with horror.
Although the World Government's prestige declined somewhat after the Paramount War, the impact wasn't significant! No one still dared to openly oppose the World Government!
Now, a Celestial Dragons here! This is a huge embarrassment for the World Government!
This news quickly reached Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.
Because Xia Chen had turned all the ice into land, Marineford at this time was still much larger than the original Marineford, even though many parts of it had been destroyed in the later battles.
Therefore, the relocation of the Marine Headquarters as depicted in the original story did not occur, and Sengoku did not abdicate, remaining as Fleet Admiral.
However, a position Marine Admiral became vacant. Sengoku had considered promoting Momousagi or Chaton to the position, but after some twists and turns, he abandoned the decision.
The reason is simple: these two are relatively weak. In peacetime, they would be more than capable of serving as Admiral, but in such turbulent times, their strength is insufficient to deter pirates.
That could potentially reduce the navy's deterrent power, so the navy's top brass are currently gathered in a conference room to discuss the feasibility of World Military Draft plan!
Sengoku sat at the head of the meeting room, looking at everyone around him and asked, "What do you all think of the World Military Draft plan? Please feel free to offer any opinions!"
A few seconds of silence followed these words. After a moment, a woman stood up and said, "I agree to this plan!"
"Due to Xia Chen's actions, the prestige of both the Navy and the World Government has declined. In this turbulent time, we desperately need powerful forces to join our Navy and deter pirates from across the world!"
Sengoku nodded in satisfaction upon hearing the woman's words, saying, " Vice Admiral Momousagi is right! Our navy suffered heavy losses in this war!"
"Countless people sacrificed their lives in this war, including a Admiral! This was an incredibly heavy blow to us!"
At this point, Sengoku's expression turned sorrowful, and the atmosphere around him became somber.
"But..."
"We didn't come away empty-handed; in fact, you could say our navy won!"
"Because... Xia Chen died in this war! Those of you who experienced this war should know how terrifying Xia Chen was. Strictly speaking, he single-handedly wiped out our Navy and the World Government..."
The Sengoku originally intended to say that they were slaughtered without leaving a single survivor, but then he remembered that he was still alive and well, so he swallowed the word.
As a person, you can curse others, but you can't curse yourself!
