" Sengoku, why aren't you saying anything? Is the signal bad? I was just about to tell him two things."
Zephyr's voice came through the Den Den Mushi one after another.
However, this plunged the entire council hall into a deathly silence.
Just moments before, Nusjuro had confidently sentenced Zephyr to death.
Now, the Den Den Mushi suddenly dialed, and Zephyr's voice came through.
Could it be that the Nusjuro received false information?
Those present were not entirely aware of all of this.
However, they knew very well that this time the Nusjuro had shot himself in the foot.
"Impossible, Zephyr. Didn't you send out a distress signal not long ago? Could it be that Weevil is behaving himself?"
Nusjuro couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly turned around, shouting angrily.
Nusjuro?
Zephyr's expression changed instantly.
He had originally considered the Five Elders ' conspiracy theories.
However, when I think about how I have contributed to the Marine Headquarters, even if I haven't made any great contributions, I have certainly worked hard.
I've never believed this conspiracy theory.
However, the moment the Five Elders spoke, his heart sank.
Is this liquidation?
However, Zephyr quickly suppressed these thoughts and said in a deep voice.
"I apologize, I didn't expect that the esteemed Five Elders would have to make the trip in person."
"That guy Weevil is definitely restless; he even attacked us, causing some casualties."
"Unfortunately, I'm lucky enough to survive, otherwise I wouldn't be able to speak to you now."
A collective gasp filled the air.
Most of the people present knew that this time Zephyr was escorting new recruits for a practical combat assessment.
This kind of assessment has always been a taboo subject for all major powers.
Unless, of course, they intend to completely Arrancar with the Marine Headquarters.
Otherwise, who would be willing to kill a group of seedlings?
Edward Weevil has clearly crossed the line with the Marine Headquarters.
However, facing this opponent who was like a madman...
Many people present were eager to know how Zephyr had escaped.
"That bastard dared to lay a hand on a naval recruit! I'll kill him!"
Garp's face darkened, and he the Roar angrily.
This task was accepted by Zephyr.
However, it is inextricably linked to Bai Yu.
If we don't express our stance at this critical juncture, we'll only alienate people.
Sengoku, standing to the side, remained silent, but his ashen face spoke volumes.
The Navy's anger is erupting.
"Haha, Garp, I knew you'd say that."
Zephyr laughed loudly and said.
"However, you were still a step too late; Weevil has already been killed."
Killed?
The anger that had just surged within the Sengoku vanished instantly.
Standing to the side, Nusjuro with a gloomy face was the first to speak out.
" Zephyr, stop talking! Why did Weevil die? He was a candidate for the next Shichibukai!"
"Could it be that you haven't understood my orders?"
The Nusjuro had a very clear understanding of Zephyr's strength.
This time, sending Zephyr to invite Weevil was also an opportunity to put Zephyr in a bad light, and at the same time, to put the entire Marine Headquarters in a bad light.
Now, Zephyr says that Weevil has been killed.
Nusjuro was genuinely somewhat incredulous.
"Heh, Nusjuro, it seems you really want me to suffer. Unfortunately, my old life is still blessed by Heaven. The one who killed Weevil was certainly not me."
It's Bai Yu!
What!
The scene erupted into chaos.
The teacup that Garp had just picked up shattered with a snap.
The scalding tea splashed onto her, but she was completely unaware.
Without thinking twice, he snatched the Den Den Mushi from Sengoku's hand and the Roar urgently.
" Zephyr, what did you just say? Who killed Weevil?"
"You need to understand, I'm not joking with you."
The hysterical the Roar felt like Zephyr's eardrums were about to tear.
However, even through the Den Den Mushi, just imagining the Nusjuro's liver-colored face, Zephyr couldn't help but burst into laughter.
" Garp, of course I'm not joking."
"If it weren't for that brat Bai Yu arriving in time, my other arm would have been chopped off."
"You didn't see it with your own eyes. When Miss Bakkin begged for mercy, she said that the Five Elders had recognized them Shichibukai. At that time, Bai Yu did stop and acknowledged their status as one of the Shichibukai."
However, in the end, Bai Yu only said one sentence.
So what if Shichibukai? We'll still cut them down!
This is insane!
Inside the council hall, dozens of people felt like they were going crazy.
If this approach really came from Bai Yu...
That was like lifting up the Five Elders ' face, throwing it heavily to the ground, and then crushing it with your feet.
They even killed the Shichibukai the Five Elders had chosen.
Isn't this a slap in the face?
No!
Now, it's something else that makes people feel cared about.
Four days ago, he fought Kaido of the Beasts and escaped by jumping into the sea.
Bai Yu was considered by Nusjuro to be doomed.
They came back to life.
In the current situation, according to the Nusjuro, it was a clear case of being brought back from the dead.
Could it be that people who can't swim can actually swim?
A series of thoughts flashed through everyone's minds.
Dozens of eyes fell on the Nusjuro without prior arrangement.
That withered face gradually became distorted.
His right hand, gripping his sword tightly, showed prominent veins.
At that moment, the Nusjuro was almost driven mad.
He gritted his teeth and said, each word deliberate and forceful, "Fine, fine brat, daring to openly challenge me and kill Shichibukai?"
"This is an attempt to sabotage the pirates' plan to contain them, and it endangers the safety of the World Government."
" Zephyr, get that brat out here and give me an explanation, or don't blame me for being impolite."
As one of the Five Elders, they have always been a high and mighty being.
When has this Nusjuro ever suffered such a humiliation?
Most importantly, to his utter surprise, after waiting and waiting, he finally saw a glimmer of hope that Bai Yu was dead.
It was annihilated again.
"Haha, Nusjuro, you don't need to yell at me. That brat has already run away."
"But don't worry, that kid has already said he's found a new Shichibukai and will return to Marine Headquarters in three to five days."
"Then you'll see if I was joking or not."
"Ah, the signal is bad, I can't hear what you're saying, ah!"
As this incredibly fake scene unfolded, the Den Den Mushi was immediately disconnected.
Facing the Nusjuro's unusually distorted old face, Garp, Sengoku, and the others felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.
At least in their eyes, Zephyr would never joke around at such a critical juncture.
Moreover, Nusjuro went to great lengths, personally coming to inform Zephyr of the attack.
In this regard, the only person capable of killing Weevil and not even taking the title of Shichibukai seriously is probably Bai Yu.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on the Nusjuro the distorted expression.
