The Angel Strikes: Intercepting the Third Treasure Chest

Suddenly, one of the marines found a treasure chest in the ruins.

"Major Mammon, look at this!"

"This is..."

Mammon's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately went over.

The treasure chest has a number, 3, which is clearly the treasure chest that the search request is for.

"This thing is really sturdy; it doesn't look damaged at all." The young marine exclaimed in amazement, handing the treasure chest to Mammon. "Is this what the Fleet Admiral asked us to find?"

"Yes, that's it. You continue clearing the rubble and try to rescue as many people as possible. I'm going to report back to the Fleet Admiral."

After receiving the treasure chest and giving some instructions, Mammon turned and walked towards the temporary command post.

The command post was located in the recruit training ground, which was a temporary tent area where most of the rescued marines were also housed.

As Mammon walked on, he couldn't help but wonder if he should just grab the treasure chest and run away...

At the same time.

Upon witnessing this, Dimon couldn't help but mutter, "So it was hidden in the headquarters fortress; no wonder I couldn't find it in the officers' quarters."

Ain's words echoed in my heart:

[Master, should we inform Mammon to take the treasure chest and leave?]

"There's no need for that. Now that we've confirmed the location of the treasure chest, we can just send someone to snatch it later. Tell him not to act rashly."

Dimon rejected the proposal.

By placing Mammon as an undercover agent in the Navy, he might even become the Fleet Admiral someday.

The Sengoku period has made such a grave mistake that it might force it to retire early.

On the other side.

Mammon felt a gentle breeze on his face and heard a barely audible whisper in his ear.

That was an order from the master.

He nodded silently, choosing not to respond. There were many people around, and it wouldn't be good if someone overheard.

He took the treasure chest to the temporary command post.

After the soldier at the entrance announced his arrival, Mammon went into the tent.

Sengoku sat upright in the tent, and besides him, Vice Admiral Tsuru was also present.

Although Sengoku was already 74 years old, he was always in high spirits and had a thick head of black hair.

At this moment, Sengoku's hair had turned gray, and his aged face showed deep fatigue.

"Fleet Admiral."

Sengoku looked up and saw Mammon holding a treasure chest. He breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Did you find it?"

"Yes."

"Thanks a lot."

Sengoku sighed. This operation had caused the navy's prestige to plummet, and he, as the Fleet Admiral, was largely to blame.

After cleaning up the mess, he had no choice but to submit his resignation to his superiors.

Although no one said he would be removed from his position Fleet Admiral, at this time, one must have a clear understanding of the situation.

Someone has to take the blame, right?

Looking at Mammon, Sengoku managed a weak smile. Fortunately, the new generation of the Navy was also worth looking forward to.

Since he was going to be kicked out of the Fleet Admiral's position anyway, Sengoku decided to be willful for once.

He thought of his old friend Zephyr, the guy who had asked him to promote Mammon, and now was the time!

Powers not used will expire.

"Mammon, you found the lost treasure chest and made a significant contribution. Considering your past achievements and your potential, I have decided to promote you to Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral..."

Concurrently, Admiral Candidate!

Chapter 168 Angels Strike, Intercepting the Third Treasure Chest

Mammon was a little confused when he heard that Sengoku was going to promote him.

What merits did he possess that allowed him to be promoted from major to Vice Admiral in a single leap, while also being Admiral Candidate?

His current rank of major was earned through a commendation and promotion after he distinguished himself in the mission of escorting the Heavenly Tribute transport ship.

Mammon had no idea what Sengoku was thinking. Headquarters Vice Admiral and Admiral Candidate in the Navy Headquarters, he was practically at the top of the ranks.

Above that, only Admiral and Fleet Admiral remain.

"Mr. Sengoku, wouldn't this be against the rules?"

"Who cares about rules now? With your ability and potential, this is what you deserve."

Sengoku shook his head. He was about to step down; why should he care about this and that?

The fall of the Marine Headquarters and the destruction of an 800-year-old military fortress were a grave mistake that only the Fleet Admiral could bear the blame for.

His resignation is at least 99% certain, if not 100%.

Sengoku didn't have much attachment to the position of Fleet Admiral; however, before leaving, he had to make some preparations for the next generation of the navy.

And, regarding the next Fleet Admiral...

Sengoku rubbed his forehead, looking like he had a headache.

At this moment, Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke softly:

"Put yours aside for now, Mammon. Now that you've found the treasure chest, you're in charge of delivering Holy Land Mary Geoise."

This won't work... Mammon wanted to refuse immediately, but his master would soon come to snatch it away, and if he went to escort it, he would have to put on another show.

However, before he could speak, Sengoku had already said:

"No need. These fruits were delivered by CP0 personnel. They're still on this island, so just leave them to them and let them take them back themselves."

Upon hearing this, Vice Admiral Tsuru glanced at Sengoku in surprise, then smiled slightly at Mammon:

"The CP0 personnel are to the east. After you exit, turn right and walk straight for about 300 meters."

Mammon nodded and immediately left with the treasure chest.

As soon as he left, Vice Admiral Tsuru couldn't help but shake his head and say:

"Are you worried that having him escort the treasure chest would expose you to the Seven Deadly Sins?"

"Those people won't let this treasure chest go!"

Sengoku's tone was resolute; given his understanding of the Seven Deadly Sins, he knew they would not be spared.

He was about to promote Mammon exceptionally, how could he let the other party make a mistake at this critical juncture?

The tent at CP0.

When Mammon arrived, the three people inside the tent were in a relaxed posture.

The tallest of them wore a yellow mask with black trim, featuring Big Eyes and a round mouth, completely obscuring his face.

Upon seeing Mammon enter the tent, he greeted him in a detached tone:

"Hello, Captain Mammon, my name is Maha."

"I'm a major now." Mammon placed the treasure chest on the table, showing no interest in the CP0 members.

"Here's what you're looking for, now I'm giving it to you."

"Thank you for your hard work, Major Mammon."

The other man was also wearing a white suit, but he was much shorter, only 2.45 meters tall.

This person was not wearing a mask; to be precise, his face resembled a white mask, with his eyes painted black and white.

Guernica stepped forward, picked up the treasure chest on the table, examined it, and nodded after confirming that it was genuine.

"No problem, this is treasure chest number 3."

Mammon said calmly, "You are responsible for returning this treasure chest to the Holy Land yourselves. My mission is complete. Farewell."

After he left, Stussy put down the nail polish, blew on her freshly painted nails, and said:

"Now that the items have been recovered, we should head back."

The other two had no objections.

The three immediately left the tent and headed to the inner bay port.

After two days of repairs, basic order in the port has been restored. The warship they arrived on had survived the war, so no further preparations were needed.

Shortly afterward, a World Government warship slowly sailed out of the port.

A gentle breeze also departed with it, following closely above the ship.

At the same time.

Dimon looked away.

Returning from the Marine Headquarters to the Holy Land Mary Geoise, the journey will pass through the waters of the Sabaody Archipelago. At the speed of a warship, it will take approximately three hours to reach Red Port.

If you're going to take action, it will happen within these three hours.

This time it was a naval operation. After a moment's thought, Dimon finally decided to send Angel Belial into battle.

The opponents were only three CP0 members, of average strength; Belial alone was enough.

"Ain, tell Belial to prepare; we'll move in an hour."

Yes, Master.

The New World, over the sea near Wano Country.

Wave-Breaking Warrior.

Big Eyes, Chaos, and Belial were gathered in the crew's lounge, playing a card game.

Belial sat on the sofa, elegantly crossing his legs, holding a deck of cards in his hand, pondering what to play.

The cards I have aren't very good.

Belial covered one of the number cards, the 7, with his right thumb; when he removed it, the card number changed to 9.

Just as He was about to play a winning hand, Chaos cried out in surprise:

You cheated!

"I didn't even play a card, how do you know I cheated?" Belial's voice was both male and female, his tone full of doubt.

The Joker Chaos, hands on his hips, said smugly:

"You're so stupid! This is my Box Garden Space. I can see the cards in your hand. You just turned a 7 into a 9!"

"You bastard, you cheated!"

Big Eyes glared angrily at the guy, "I knew it! How come you're always winning? You can see our cards!"

"No, I just happened to see it."

The Joker stubbornly insists that this is his ability; can we really just ignore it?

Cheating people must be punished!
