The Blond Five Elders said in a deep voice:
Who will make the move?
"The five of us worked together."
The Big-Bearded Five Elders shook their heads.
"Leave one person behind to guard the holy site."
The other four set off immediately.
The bald Five Elders stood up.
"I'll go find him."
The Blond Five Elders picked up their weapons.
I'll go too.
The Five Elders with the birthmark and the Long-Bearded Five Elders stood up at the same time.
The four of them wasted no more time.
They all knew that Uchiha Itsu had just experienced the Paramount War and could not have gone far.
If we chase after them now, we have a chance to capture them.
No one believed that a powerhouse who had just broken through to the World-Breaking Level could withstand four of the Five Elders at the same time.
The Big-Bearded Five Elders remained where they were.
He watched the four people walk out of the council hall, and only slowly withdrew his gaze after their footsteps had completely disappeared.
He suppressed the news for the time being.
The God-Given Object Uchiha Itsu must first be investigated by them personally.
The four Five Elders immediately set out to search for and capture Uchiha Itsu.
The battlefield at Marineford has fallen completely silent.
The Marine Headquarters was filled with crumbling walls and ruins.
Marines were clearing away the corpses, while the Thunder Emperor Corps was scattered in various locations, dealing with all the pirates who were still resisting.
Uchiha Itsu stood in the center of the plaza and glanced around.
Nami.
"Exist."
Nami approached with several members of the Thunder Emperor Corps.
Uchiha Itsu raised his hand and pointed to the dilapidated Marine Headquarters in the distance.
"Take some men and search the area."
"Search every warehouse, armory, archives, and residences of high-ranking naval officers."
Nami nodded.
What are you looking for?
Take everything of value.
Uchiha Itsu.
"Focus on finding the Poneglyph."
Nami's expression turned serious.
"Clear."
She immediately led her team away.
The Thunder Emperor Corps split into several teams and entered various parts of the Marine Headquarters.
The dilapidated buildings were searched room by room.
Gold, treasure, weapons, information on Devil Fruit, and classified documents left by the World Government were all loaded onto the Thunder Emperor.
Tashigi led her men into the naval archives.
The bookshelves inside had mostly collapsed, and papers were scattered all over the floor.
She swung her knife to cleave the stones pressing down on her, and then led her men to search the area again.
"No Poneglyph."
In another warehouse, Perona floated in mid-air, while dozens of Ghost Clone passed through the walls.
"Not here either."
She returned to Uchiha Itsu's side, her tone somewhat dissatisfied.
" The Marine Headquarters has many treasures, but not a single piece of the Poneglyph."
Uchiha Itsu looked at Nami.
Nami has already returned with her people.
We've searched everywhere.
"No Poneglyph were found in the archives, warehouses, the residences of Sengoku and Garp, or even the underground areas of Marine Headquarters."
Uchiha Itsu's brow twitched slightly.
"Continue the investigation."
Nami took out the documents she found in the archives.
"I have already had all the records related to the Poneglyph compiled."
She opened one of the documents.
"According to naval records, the original Poneglyph were never kept at Marineford."
"All Poneglyph controlled by the World Government will eventually be sent to the Holy Land Mary Geoise."
Perona floated to the side.
"Even the piece that Doflamingo controlled has been sent to the Holy Land."
Uchiha Itsu looked at her.
Are you sure?
"Sure."
Perona nodded.
"I had someone investigate before. After Doflamingo lost Dressrosa, the Poneglyph was taken away by the World Government and later sent to the Holy Land."
"At least three Poneglyph are now kept in Mary Geoise."
Uchiha Itsu remained silent.
Nami asked:
"Shall we go to the Holy Land now?"
"No rush."
Uchiha Itsu glanced at the Marine Headquarters.
There's no Poneglyph here, so there's no point in leaving it.
Perona raised her hand.
"I've already locked the locations of three Poneglyph in advance."
" The Donquixote Family has already set off and will bring them back soon."
Uchiha Itsu nodded.
"Then let's retreat."
The order was relayed.
The Thunder Emperor Corps ceased its looting, and everyone began boarding the ships.
Nami put the last batch of treasure into the ship's hold.
"This was a pretty good haul."
She looked at the ship's hold filled with gold and weapons.
Unfortunately, the Poneglyph was not found.
We'll get it sooner or later.
Uchiha Itsu stood at the bow of the ship.
" Mary Geoise won't always be safe."
The Thunder Emperor raised its sails and quickly sailed away from the Marine Headquarters.
No one noticed that long before the battle ended, a dilapidated pirate ship had already left Marineford.
Blackbeard stood at the stern of the ship, his body still bearing the scars of battle.
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit surged continuously within him.
He raised his hands, and darkness and vibration surged from his palms at the same time.
boom!
The sea surface was shaken up into large waves.
Blackbeard spread his arms wide and burst into laughter.
"Thief! Hahahaha!"
"I'm now a dual Devil Fruit User!"
"So what if it's Uchiha Itsu? Once I fully develop the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, I'll make him kneel before me one day!"
None of the captains on the ship responded.
They had all witnessed Uchiha Itsu's battles against Whitebeard, Garp, and Sengoku.
That power far surpasses that of ordinary Four Emperors.
Blackbeard had just obtained the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and had no time to familiarize himself with its power.
Going back to fight Uchiha Itsu now would only lead to certain death.
Van Augur stood beside the mast and said in a low voice:
"Captain, aren't we too close?"
What are you afraid of?
Blackbeard grinned widely.
" Uchiha Itsu is dealing with the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates; he simply doesn't have time to chase us."
"Moreover, I already possess two Devil Fruit."
"Just give me a little time..."
Before he could finish speaking, a chilling laugh suddenly drifted across the sea.
You seem very confident.
Blackbeard's smile froze on his face.
Everyone on the ship turned around at the same time.
Clumps of white ghosts drifted in from afar.
They flew through the sails of the pirate ship and landed on the deck.
Boom boom boom boom!
The ghosts exploded one after another.
The pirate ship was blasted with several large holes on the spot.
The members of the Blackbeard Pirates were all thrown into the air.
Blackbeard roared, and dark power spread from beneath his feet.
" Black Vortex!"
Darkness swallowed up a vast number of ghosts.
But the next moment, even more ghosts surged in from all directions.
Perona floated in mid-air, her arms crossed over her chest.
"They escaped pretty quickly."
Blackbeard looked up at her.
It's you again!
He recognized Perona.
Previously, Perona unleashed a terrifying Conqueror's Haki above Marineford.
Blackbeard did not fight her at the time, but chose to avoid her.
Now that he has obtained the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he believes his strength has greatly increased and is naturally unwilling to continue to back down.
"A woman dares to block my way?"
Blackbeard raised his fists.
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit erupted instantly.
The air was shattered, creating large cracks, and white pressure blasted towards Perona.
