" King Cobra, we are aware of this matter, but some things are beyond our control. Moreover, given Admiral Bai Yu's character, he would go even if it were a dragon's den or a tiger's lair."
Bastille gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"However, everyone can rest assured that the Holy Land Mary Geoise is not far from Marine Headquarters, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the others will certainly have made arrangements."
"Most importantly, everyone has guessed the Five Elders ' intentions. I don't think they can openly and fairly encircle and annihilate Admiral Bai Yu at this critical juncture; that would chill the hearts of all the Marines."
Cobra remained silent for a full three or four seconds before letting out a soft sigh.
" Vice Admiral Bastille, you are right. We were overthinking it. Please bear with us from now on."
"Hehe, King Cobra, you flatter us. The first pier of the Sabaody Archipelago is just ahead, where ships from many countries are already waiting. Let's go over there."
Bastille chuckled dryly and changed the subject.
Many within the Marine Headquarters disapproved of the Five Elders ' actions.
However, in such a public setting, and without knowing if there are any spies of the Five Elders on board, it's best to say as little as possible.
As Bastille issued his orders, the massive warship sped toward the dock.
But as soon as they got close, Bastille and the others' expressions changed drastically.
A great deal of panic could be heard from the vast dock.
"My God, what are these things? Why are they attacking us?"
"Is that a zombie? Don't come any closer!"
"Get out of the way! Is that Cerberus?"
The scene erupted into chaos.
As Bastille and his group approached the dock, they saw a large number of zombies rapidly surging onto the ship.
roar!
A deafening the Roar suddenly rang out.
A dark shadow, seven or eight meters long, descended from the sky.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
" High-Speed Slash!"
Chaka's expression changed, and he pulled Vivi away, instantly drawing his sword and slashing it directly at the three-headed hellhound.
Pfft!
Blood splattered as a leg was severed off.
Unfortunately, just as Chaka regained his footing, before he could even react, the three-headed hellhound, as if nothing had happened, opened its blood-red maw and bit down.
At the same time, a dense, overwhelming army of zombies surged onto the ship.
Seeing this, Bastille's expression changed drastically. He immediately began directing his soldiers into battle while simultaneously unleashing his Observation Haki.
"Found it!"
Bastille glanced quickly toward the dock.
A large, obese figure dressed in Joker- like black and white outfit appeared first.
Behind him followed four or five other figures.
And these surging zombie armies emerged from the huge pirate ship behind him.
"It's Gecko Moria, one of the Shichibukai. These zombies are all his creation."
Bastille's expression changed involuntarily. He had also dealt with those unruly individuals among the Shichibukai.
Looking at the Shichibukai, aside from Doflamingo, who was killed by Bai Yu, who was the most wicked, Gecko Moria in front of us can definitely be ranked second.
Especially after witnessing his Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability and the Zombie Army he created.
Even Vice Admiral Bastille felt a headache coming on when faced with this insane Shichibukai.
However, the docks are now filled with kings and dignitaries from various countries. Allowing Gecko Moria to cause such a disturbance in public would undoubtedly damage the honor of the Marine Headquarters.
In the past, Bastille would have definitely reported this matter to Sengoku for a decision before taking action to stop it.
However, since Bai Yu repeatedly and forcefully killed the Shichibukai, the Navy's awe and fear of the Shichibukai has obviously decreased considerably.
As the zombie army grew larger and larger, and the surrounding ships were attacked, Bastille's face darkened, and he shouted angrily.
" Gecko Moria, have you rebelled?"
"These are all important figures from various Affiliated Nation gathered here. If you're going to play pranks here, aren't you really worried that our Marine Headquarters will take action against you?"
"Now, you'd better stop right now, or don't blame us, the Marine Headquarters, for being impolite."
The cacophony of voices momentarily silenced the commotion.
All eyes were on Bastille, including the naval soldiers on the ship.
This rare display of assertiveness from their direct superior was undoubtedly beyond their expectations.
Gecko Moria also looked at Bastille, a mocking smile flashing across his pale face.
"Heh, so it's Vice Admiral Bastille. I brought too many zombies with me this time. They've never seen anything like this before, and they were quite frightened, which is why this happened."
"Unfortunately, I am also helpless in the face of this situation. I can only trouble everyone to wait patiently for them to calm down."
"Of course, I still want to remind you, if you can, remember to resist. If you just obediently wait to die, you won't be able to see how powerful my zombies are."
roar!
The Roar roar suddenly erupted.
As if in response to Gecko Moria's words, the dark, swarming Zombie Army's attack suddenly became swift and fierce.
Seeing that the situation not only didn't stop but was escalating, Bastille's expression changed drastically.
He knew perfectly well that Gecko Moria was underestimating him.
Seeing the hordes of zombies surging around him, Bastille gripped his Zhan Sha Blade tightly and charged out.
Whoosh!
The Six Powers Shave was instantly pushed to its limit by Bastille.
After dodging several attacks from zombie figures, he quickly rushed towards Gecko Moria.
The distance of several hundred meters was covered in just three or four breaths.
The moment he gripped the Zhan Sha Blade tightly with both hands, he unleashed a tremendous force, cleaving down with tremendous power.
" Zhan Sha Breaking Strike!"
Boom!
A blade of energy, seven or eight meters long, slashed out horizontally in an instant.
Despite being under attack, Gecko Moria smiled slightly, but before he could make a move...
Standing beside him, a zombie dressed in a kimono appeared as if by teleportation, blocking Gecko Moria's path.
At the same time, the sword at his waist was drawn instantly.
" Swallowtail Slash!"
Boom!
With a single thrust, the blade struck the blade's energy with pinpoint accuracy.
The next moment, the six- or seven-meter-long blade of energy shattered.
Amidst the violent shockwave of the explosion, an unexpected figure appeared before Bastille.
Without a single fancy move, a sharp and unparalleled thrust came straight at you.
Bang!
The blades collided instantly.
The immense force released caused Bastille's expression to change drastically in an instant.
