"It seems I can't leave here easily!!" Turning back to look at the severed building, the second clone sighed and said.
"Hehehe, do you still want to leave us? Although we can't deal with your main body and keep you here completely, what about just an avatar..." Stussy teased.
"Alright, we'll leave this clone of yours completely behind..."
Whoosh~
After saying that Kaku immediately transformed into his giraffe-like Human-Beast Form.
"Hahaha, you want to keep this clone of me? Then come and try!"
"Um..."
boom!!
Then they turned to Orange and his group.
"What's going on? Does it really take this long to investigate something? What's the use of such a slow-moving subordinate?!" Orange and Catherine complained, sitting in the carriage with their arms crossed.
Catherine, sitting opposite him, merely glanced at him before turning her head to look out the window.
"Hehehe, you are truly stunningly beautiful, Catherine Palace. From today onwards, you will belong to me completely!!" Orange didn't care about Catherine's attitude towards him. Seeing her turn her face away, he couldn't help but tease her softly.
"Hmph, I don't belong to anyone?! Marrying you is just fulfilling a promise between us..." Catherine replied coldly.
Orange laughed and replied, "Hahaha, no matter the reason, once you marry into my Gustav Clan, you are mine in life and in death—that's an undeniable fact!"
"Really?!" Catherine retorted, then fell silent, and the atmosphere in the carriage instantly turned cold again.
Swoosh...
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the carriage, prompting Orange to call for the carriage to stop.
"Driver, wait a minute! Who's here? Stop the car!"
"It's Saint Orange!!"
Shhhhhhh~
The carriage gradually slowed down and then came to a stop.
Click...
"Who's outside?!" Orange asked, pushing open the car door and getting out.
" Saint Orange, we have long admired you. We are Gluttony Asmodeus Lust, the Beelzebub of the Seven Deadly Sins, and we have been sent to greet you and Catherine Palace!" Upon seeing Orange approaching, Beelzebub and Asmodeus, who had just arrived, immediately bowed their heads and addressed him respectfully.
" Gluttony and Lust? They are members of the Seven Deadly Sins that Father spoke of, which have protected our royal descendants for eight hundred years, right? You're too kind. Please rise, both of you. Then I entrust the safety of myself and Catherine Palace to you!" Orange nodded slightly and replied politely.
"It is our great honor!" The two men stood up and stood guard on both sides of the carriage.
"Alright, let's set off!" Orange, stepped into the carriage, and gave the order to the coachman.
"Yes!!"
Splash... splash...
Soon the carriage started moving again, smoothly and orderly heading towards the manor.
Not long after they left, two figures hidden in the darkness Shadow Flash. One of them looked at the two guarding the carriage and said to his companion with a somewhat helpless tone, "This is troublesome, George!!"
"Since things have come to this, we can only make plans. We'll quietly follow behind them and think about other things later!" George replied after watching their departing figures for a long time.
"This is the only way, let's go!!"
"Okay, let's go!" The two exchanged a glance, then turned and followed.
Splash...
Finally, the carriage arrived at the manor, outside the venue where the wedding banquet was to be held.
"Fufufufu, they're down! The heirs of those two top families!!" Doflamingo was the first to notice their arrival and said with a smile.
"Are you here?"
" Catherine!!"
On the naval representative's side, Tsuru and Momousagi reacted differently, some indifferent, some worried, and some calm.
clatter...
"Welcome to my wedding with the Catherine Palace. Please enjoy the banquet today and have a good time!" Orange of the car, his face once again bearing his fake smile.
"Oh!! Congratulations, Catherine Palace Saint Orange! And may you two be united in marriage and live happily ever after!!" Several kings stood up, trying to make their presence known to the couple in Orange and leave a good impression.
"Hehe, thank you all for your kind words!!" Catherine didn't say anything, but Orange's smile widened as he replied with a hearty laugh.
Just then, a man in a suit beside them timely reminded them, " Saint Orange, Catherine Palace, it's time for you two to go up on stage and receive a speech!"
"Hehe, I understand. Well then, Catherine Palace, please come up on stage with me!" Upon hearing his reminder, Orange's smile vanished, and he turned to Catherine, extending his hand to invite her to join him on stage to receive the wedding vows.
"..." Upon seeing this, Catherine frowned, gave him a deep look with her beautiful eyes, and then placed her hand on his.
"I'm sorry, everyone, Luo Chen, we will never see each other again from now on..." Catherine said silently in her heart as she walked onto the stage with Orange.
"What should we do? The captain hasn't even arrived yet, and Miss Catherine is about to marry that Celestial Dragons..." George asked Monbuma beside him as he saw this.
"I don't know. There are so many guards and important figures in the venue. The two of us alone can't possibly make a ripple!" After gazing for a long time, Monbuma shook her head and replied.
"Well..." George wanted to suggest going together to rescue Catherine, but considering the security forces at the venue, he couldn't let Monbuma risk her life along with him, so he shut his mouth.
"Ha, how could I be the kind of person who values life so much? It's just that in the current situation, the two of us can't save Miss Catherine on our own. Let's wait for the captain to arrive before making a decision!" Monbuma saw through the other's thoughts and defended herself.
"No need to wait anymore, I'm already here!!" Just as the two were in a dilemma, Luo Chen's voice came leisurely, making them happy. They turned around and said.
"Huh?! That voice is..."
"It's the captain... Captain, you've finally arrived!!"
brush...
Then Luo Chen appeared beside them.
"Captain, why are you the only one here?!"
What about Phil and Singh?
Not seeing Phil and Singh, George couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I previously used my ability to create several clones that wreaked havoc throughout Mary Geoise, thus diverting some of the guards here."
On the Rob Lucci. Phil fought Rob Lucci, while my clone battled the other two members.
"But since the situation here is more urgent, we've withdrawn our clones and sent Singh to support them. It's probably not going to be a quick victory or defeat, so let's handle things here for now!" Luo Chen shook his head and explained to the two of them.
"I see. So, how should we proceed?! Shall we all attack together?"
"No, I'll just go up there. You can bring Catherine back when you have the chance!"
"So, Captain, are you really alright traveling alone?"
"It's alright. News of the chaos in the Holy Land is about to arrive. Once the navy has gone some distance, I'll head up immediately, and you'll be responsible for providing backup. Understand?"
"Learn!!"
"Alright, let's give them a surprise first!!" After saying that, another clone of Luo Chen rushed towards the crowd, where the kings of various countries were gathered, exchanging ideas and discussing matters.
Swoosh...
"I'm sorry, Your Majesties, but now you'll have to cooperate with me in putting on a good show!!" A blood-red figure rushed out, its target the kings of various countries.
"Huh?! Who is it?!" Just as everyone was chatting happily, a princess inadvertently caught sight of a figure rushing towards them and couldn't help but shout.
"Huh?!" Her words drew the attention of the others, with the Navy, the Seven Deadly Sins, and Doflamingo's group reacting most strongly.
"Finally, you can't resist going on stage?"
"Hehehe, your companion's wedding is just around the corner, if you don't show up now you might miss your chance?! Is that why you rushed up so recklessly?!"
"Fufufufu, are you going to stand up for your comrades? But what can you do in this situation?!"
The two lieutenant generals, Mole and Onigumo, Vice Admiral a glance and immediately moved to meet him. "We can't let him get any closer!!"
"Let's attack together!!"
"Good!!"
brush!!
The two men immediately blocked Luo Chen's path, preventing him from advancing any further.
"Stop, pirate Luo Chen! We are here on orders to capture you!" the two men said as soon as they appeared.
"Hahaha, if you want me to stop, you'll have to show me everything you've got!!"
" Blood Breath... Surge!!"
Having said that, he waved his hand, and crimson light shot out from under his palm, forming a straight line on the ground where a surging wave crashed towards the kings.
"Ah~" Those pampered big shots were startled by this and quickly dodged to the side.
"Please stop, gentlemen! It's alright. We have the most secure guards in the world here. Your lives will not be threatened. Stop quickly to avoid a stampede!" Before the attack even approached, the kings in the hall were terrified and fled in panic, causing chaos in the hall.
Tap... Tap... Tap...
"Who cares about that? Saving your own life is the most important thing!!" Unfortunately, the kings ignored the man in the suit and continued to tiptoe and run out as fast as they could, causing chaos. On the wedding stage, where everyone was celebrating and thought the wedding would go smoothly, Orange's face suddenly darkened, and he pushed Catherine aside and went to the front of the stage.
"Honestly, why did you have to ruin such a nice wedding? And why did you keep disrupting the order? If you just sat quietly, the disturbance would have been over soon. Why wouldn't you listen to advice?" Orange continued to speak, his chilling and murderous aura rising up. Only He Yixing, who had a keen sense of perception and an extraordinary combat awareness, noticed what was happening.
"This indescribable sense of oppression, is it him? The power of the ancestor of the Gustav Clan!!" Crane felt the oppressive feeling in the air and his expression changed drastically. He turned his gaze to Orange, who was coldly surveying the crowd below the stage, and said.
"Fufufufu, is this the foundation possessed by the three strongest families in the Holy Land, alongside that lord and the Glücksburg Blade of Heritage? It's terrifyingly strong!!" Although Doflamingo scanned his body with Observation Haki and found that his physique was still very weak, even weaker than that of an average adult male, the power hidden within him was extremely terrifying. The strange aura emanating from him revealed his anger and dissatisfaction.
"It's time to end this... Oracle... God King's Judgment!!"
boom...
Suddenly, numbers uttered by Orange transformed into a destructive halberd, powerful enough to cleave the earth and cleave mountains and rivers, and fell upon the fleeing kings.
"Oh no! Quick, save Gion! This kid is too extreme; he wants to kill all those kings. We can't let him do that!!" Tsuru realized Orange's intention and immediately ordered Momousagi to join her in stopping him.
"Understood, Sister Crane!!"
Clang!!
Momousagi realized something was wrong and quickly drew her Konpira, leaping up to try and cut the halberd in half.
"Hehehe, no one can disobey my decree, and no one can defy it!!" Orange said with a cold laugh as he saw Momousagi and Tsuru's actions.
Clang!!
The halberd descended with unparalleled force, seemingly capable of annihilating all living beings. If it struck anyone present, even if not all were wiped out, at least seven or eight out of ten would die. This was something the navy could not accept.
boom!!
Finally, Crane and Momousagi made their move against the halberd. The sound of swords rang out, sword energy surged, air waves rolled and ripples spread continuously.
"Fufufufu, this power is truly enviable. No wonder he could become a king and god eight hundred years ago, making his descendants one of the divine lineages..." Doflamingo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he felt the unimaginable power emanating from Orange.
"Heh, it's developed to this extent already? Maybe it's a good idea for the organization to dock with him like this!!" Samael and his two companions, who were standing aside like Doflamingo without intervening, could clearly sense just how strong the power contained in this attack was.
Such an attack is almost comparable to a full-force strike from Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, or Teach's Teach -Tremor-Tremor Fruit power.
Sizzle sizzle...
Tsuru and Momousagi continued to do their best to stop the halberd from falling. Tsuru tried to use her Wash-Wash Fruit ability to wash it away, but it was completely ineffective. She could only use Haki and physical techniques to block it, which was much less effective than Momousagi's method.
"Fufufufu, if Devil Fruit powers can cancel each other out, then what makes that power capable of dominating the world eight hundred years ago?!" Doflamingo couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw Tsuru intending to use her power to wash him away.
As a former Celestial Dragons, he understood the strengths and weaknesses of each family better than the Navy. Although he was exiled from the Holy Land and his identity was not recognized long ago, he still possessed the most important secrets. That is why the Five Elders and even the Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land compromised and granted him the authority of Celestial Dragons.
"Hahaha, are you two really going to keep blocking me here? Vice Admiral Tsuru and Vice Admiral Momousagi look like they're about to collapse!!" Luo Chen didn't care about the threat from the two Vice Admiral in front of him. Compared to him, protecting the many kings in the Holy Land was his top priority. They couldn't possibly keep fighting with him here.
"Damn it, let's go!!" The two glanced at him unwillingly, then turned and headed towards the golden halberd in the sky.
"Very good. Although I don't know what went wrong with that guy to attack those kings, it's good for me. This way, I can..."
brush...
Before Luo Chen could finish speaking, and before he could even feel happy, three figures Shadow Flash.
"What can you possibly do?! Do you really think you can take Catherine Palace back right under our noses?" Samael led the way in questioning.
