The dragon fell silent.
As the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Ryu knew exactly how much determination Sengoku had to make this decision.
At the same time, this alone is enough to prove how much Sengoku valued Bai Yu.
Recalling what happened back then, Long Youyou sighed and said.
" Fleet Admiral Sengoku, don't worry. I also think highly of this kid. If anything really happens to him, I will definitely come to his rescue."
"However, Bai Yu, I still have to ask you one question: are you really going to risk going to the Holy Land Mary Geoise? Don't forget, the Five Elders are not to be trifled with!"
"If you're not careful, you could lose your life. If you give up now, I can help you clean up the mess."
Sengoku and Garp, who were standing to the side, also looked at Bai Yu eagerly.
They knew perfectly well that Long's suggestion was undoubtedly the best one possible.
Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, casually taking a swig of strong liquor. "Long, you're making it sound too easy. However, if I don't go, I believe the things you'll face will be even more difficult."
" The Five Elders are targeting me. If I don't show myself, they will do even more to achieve their goals."
"Rather than letting them lead me by the nose, I'd rather just walk out and make things impossible for them."
"Also, I'd really like to know if the Five Elders are worth taking down. If they want to deal with me, they'll at least have to break some teeth!"
you!
The Sengoku was suddenly speechless.
Finally, he sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, all you ever think about is killing people. The only thing you ever say is who you want to kill."
"However, I have one last question: are you really confident you can escape? If not, we can help you!"
His deep voice carried an air of unquestionable authority.
Bai Yu knew perfectly well that Sengoku's words meant a complete break with the World Government.
Bai Yu had no idea what the Five Elders would do when that time came.
However, this is also something we don't want to see.
"Hehe, old man of the Warring Sengoku period, I'm still confident that I can make a clean getaway. However, after this, I think you all should be very clear that even if I manage to leave the Holy Land Mary Geoise, I'll probably be on a different side from you."
Bai Yu took a swig of liquor and chuckled dryly as he spoke.
"If possible, I don't want you to get involved; that way, you'll at least have a way out."
The Sengoku period fell silent.
He had actually anticipated these words.
The truth has never been revealed; it's just that I'm unwilling to accept it and deliberately avoid it.
However, given the circumstances, he had no time to dwell on it and sighed again.
"You brat, you still prefer to be a loner. But don't worry, as long as you're a member of the Marine Headquarters, I'll protect you. Even if we're on different sides in the future, as long as you don't commit any crimes, I won't arrest you."
"Of course, if you ever have a moment of madness and do something like bullying innocent women or abducting young girls, my iron fist will definitely strike you hard on the head!"
"Understood, Grandpa!" Bai Yu replied with a smile.
"Alright, there's only half an hour left before the meeting starts. It's time for me to head back. See you next time!"
Bai Yu glanced at Garp, who had remained silent throughout.
He knew perfectly well that it was at this moment that Garp's heart was at its heaviest.
Watching his grandson, whom he had raised with his own hands, gradually walk down a path of no return, he felt utterly powerless.
This is something even a naval hero cannot control.
He patted Garp on the shoulder and said.
"Grandpa, don't look so sad. I'm not going to my death. I'm just going to see if the Five Elders are worth killing. Next time we meet, I'll test how well you've mastered the Eight Gates Released. If you haven't met the standard, watch out for my iron fist!"
"You brat, how dare you make fun of your grandpa! Get out of here right now, or I'll beat you to death!" Garp shouted, glaring at him.
However, after this commotion, his worried and distressed expression faded somewhat.
Seeing this, Bai Yu smiled faintly, took a swig of strong liquor, and then the lightning on his body surged again, transforming into a bolt of lightning that shot into the sky.
After Bai Yu had completely disappeared from sight.
The smiles on the three faces gradually faded, and Dragon looked at Garp and said in a deep voice.
"Old man, are you really planning to do this?"
This time, Sengoku was able to contact Dragon entirely thanks to Garp acting as an intermediary.
It can be said that the real mastermind behind this encounter was not the Sengoku.
Instead, it was Garp, who always presented himself as carefree and easygoing, who took the lead.
It was for this reason that the dragon took the risk to attend the meeting.
"Heh, you little brat, you underestimate me too much. I'm just withdrawing from the front lines; it doesn't mean I'm too old to have lost my former glory. For that brat, if things really come to an irreversible point, I'll fight with everything I have, including this old life."
Garp chuckled dryly.
"Don't forget, I personally led him down this path of no return. If necessary, I will risk my life to pave a second path for him!"
You don't doubt your father's resolve, do you?
The dragon remained silent for three or four seconds before shaking its head, turning around, and transforming into a hurricane that vanished.
There is still half an hour left before the meeting of the Affiliated Nation of the world begins.
This means that the deadly trap will soon come to light.
Facing the Five Elders, who are hidden behind the World Government.
Even the dragon had to be on its guard.
Most importantly, Long was unsure of Bai Yu's chances against the Five Elders.
He needs to prepare in advance.
Red Line, the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Within the vast palace complex, countless figures gathered at the surrounding docks.
Among them were kings and their personal guards from various Affiliated Nation, who, led by their respective naval officers, landed one after another.
Looking at this place, which is said to be inhabited only by the Celestial Dragons and Celestial Dragons, symbolizing the highest status, many people showed strange expressions.
Among them were kings from various countries who desperately wanted to squeeze into the ranks of the Celestial Dragons.
"Alright, King Neptune, this is the Holy Land Mary Geoise. I imagine this isn't your first time attending the World Affiliated Nation Conference; you should be quite familiar with it."
Yamakaji, with a cigar dangling from his lips, led the way. Seeing Shirahoshi following closely behind like a curious child, he couldn't help but offer a reminder.
"However, this is Celestial Dragons territory. Today is indeed a meeting of the World Affiliated Nation, but we should still be careful."
