Were Even the Five Elders Disposable Pawns?

What were the results?

Everyone was taken aback, and their eyes all turned to Bai Yu.

Recalling the scene of Fujitora fighting desperately just now, the strength of the three Five Elders was beyond their expectations.

Especially the Nusjuro who transformed into a demon at the end.

Under these unknown methods.

Once he truly unleashes his power, facing three of the Five Elders simultaneously, they are eager to know how much of a chance Bai Yu has of victory.

"Don't worry, if we were only fifty-fifty a moment ago, we should now be absolutely certain of killing them."

Bai Yu pulled out a bottle of strong liquor, took a swig, and then smiled bloodthirstyly.

"I'm really hoping they didn't run away just now."

Cat Viper and the others were taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then their faces lit up with smiles.

They really couldn't figure out why Bai Yu's win rate rating had changed so drastically.

However, after witnessing Kaido of the Beasts and one of the Five Elders, Nusjuro, being killed...

They believed this answer.

At least it can reassure them.

Inside the High Palace in the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

Wearing a suit, with a buzz cut and blond hair and beard, Rosa was calmly watching Sengoku in the distance.

"What's wrong? You couldn't wait any longer and came knocking on my door. You're not planning to get involved in that kid's business again, are you?"

"If that's really the case, I seriously doubt whether you're even qualified to be a navy officer."

Upon hearing this, the Orochi hiding in the corner couldn't help but glance at Sengoku again.

As the shogun of Wano Country, he has always stayed within Wano Country and has never left it.

The Fleet Admiral had heard of it many times, but this was the first time he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

However, this glance instantly drew Sengoku's attention to the Orochi, his expression darkening as he shouted urgently.

" Rosa, are you all crazy? Isn't this guy the shogun of Wano Country? Why is he here?"

"You Five Elders wouldn't discover that Bai Yu is in Wano Country, and then team up with Kaido of the Beasts to ambush him, would you?"

"You're the only one here now. Could it be that Daps and the other three have come out in person?"

Sengoku's face turned pale.

He didn't know the true extent of the Five Elders ' abilities.

However, if someone could remain in such a high position for so long, the Sengoku wouldn't believe it unless they had some tricks up their sleeve.

Currently, four people are personally involved, including Kaido.

This is probably a sure-fire situation, isn't it?

"Hmph, Sengoku, it seems you still haven't figured out your place," Rosa sneered.

"However, to make you give up completely, I'll tell you something."

"That brat didn't go to Totto Land, but Daps predicted he would go to Wano Country."

" Wano Country was indeed conquered by that brat, but this also brings Kaido under our control."

" Orochi, you don't need to look around recklessly. With four of the Five Elders personally involved, plus Kaido, killing that brat won't be difficult."

"Or do you think we Five Elders are cowards, worried we can't handle that brat, and that we're only useful as puppets if it weren't for the fact that you're still somewhat useful?"

"If you keep walking around in front of me like this, don't blame me for really killing you."

Rosa's eyes widened suddenly, and two sharp killing intents flashed across them.

Sensing this terrifying aura, the Orochi couldn't help but shiver. It hurriedly rubbed its hands together, preparing to say something, but then felt a strange burning sensation in its chest.

The bizarre scene startled the Orochi, who quickly pulled out what was in his arms. When he saw it clearly, his expression changed drastically.

"Lord Rosa, something terrible has happened! You Five Elders are truly incompetent... no, it's Kaido who's incompetent..."

"What did you say!"

Rosa's face darkened, and his figure seemed to traverse endless time and space, appearing in front of the Orochi as soon as he grabbed its neck.

The sudden turn of events left Sengoku momentarily stunned, but when he clearly saw what the Orochi was holding, his pupils suddenly contracted.

" Orochi, whose Vivre Card Piece is this?!"

"It's... it's Kaido's Vivre Card Piece. His Vivre Card Piece has burned out..."

Feeling the immense force emanating from Rosa's withered, large hand, the Orochi felt as if it were about to suffocate.

Completely disregarding everything else, he hurriedly stammered out his words.

Kaido's Vivre Card Piece?

Rosa glanced hastily at the ashes scattering in the wind from the Orochi's hand, and his expression changed drastically.

This trip to Wano Country to besiege Bai Yu seems to have been a spur-of-the-moment decision.

However, with four of the Five Elders personally taking action, including the renowned Kaido of the Beasts, they were no match for a mere brat.

Killing him shouldn't be too difficult, right?

In this seemingly insurmountable situation, Kaido was killed, making the outcome all the more surprising.

"Kaido... Kaido dead, will the Five Elders win?"

As soon as the withered old hand released its grip, the Orochi collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, and couldn't help but say something.

However, upon recalling Rosa's terrifying nature, he quickly changed his words.

"No, I know. It must be because the Five Elders won and abandoned Kaido, this pawn, that they decided to kill him."

"It's not fair to blame you gentlemen for being ruthless. It's just that Kaido as obedient as me. Killing him is fine, but as long as there are villains around, you gentlemen will have plenty of weapons."

As for Orochi, he truly didn't know why Kaido's Vivre Card Piece had started burning.

However, as long as you survive, forget about flattery.

As long as the Five Elders don't mind his ugliness, they'd be willing to take off their pants and sell their chrysanthemums.

These words put Sengoku on edge once again.

Rosa's ashen face actually softened a bit.

The Orochi certainly couldn't produce anything edible.

However, this guess is undoubtedly the best explanation, he said after a moment's thought.

"You're right, perhaps Kaido really is a scapegoat. Otherwise, I wouldn't believe that brat really sprouted wings and flew away..."

Bang!

The sound of porcelain shattering rang out without warning.

The fragments scattered like a torrential rain of pear blossoms, disintegrating between heaven and earth.

The sudden turn of events instantly put Orochi and Rosa on edge.

Even the Sengoku was stunned.

These events, one after another, are happening far too fast.

It was so fast that even their nerves couldn't keep up.

But when they followed the sound and hurriedly looked over...

The first thing that catches the eye is the life statue that belonged to Nusjuro, which was shattered upon impact.

The sudden attack left both the Orochi and Rosa completely bewildered.

If Kaido's Vivre Card Piece was burning a moment ago, it could still be considered a sacrifice.

Now the statues of the Five Elders have also been destroyed.

Could it be that they're so wealthy and powerful that even the Five Elders are being discarded?

Who then has the right to abandon the Five Elders as pawns?
