All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 184: After one wave, another wave arises

"What nonsense are you spouting, Kizaru?" Sengoku thought Kizaru was deliberately calling to tease him, and said irritably, "Is there anything in this world that even a Marine Admiral can't see? Even if it's the Poneglyphs that the World Government tries its best to hide, you can see them, and the Five Elders won't say anything!"

In a world where a powerful individual can destroy an island with a single punch, the top experts rely on themselves.

Why was Rayleigh able to live in seclusion in the Sabaody Archipelago?
Was the navy incompetent and unable to detect him?

of course not!

He is a top-tier powerhouse on the high seas. He doesn't provoke trouble, and the Navy doesn't want to mess with him easily! Because if they can't defeat him, it will be very troublesome!
Therefore, it's okay for a general-level expert to know some secrets.

The Five Elders won't hold it against them.

"It is indeed a Poneglyph, but it's incredibly exciting!" Kizaru said. "If you don't believe me, you can come and see for yourself. I'll be waiting for you here and won't let anyone else take it away!"

If he could, he would prefer to pretend he didn't see it.

Let Rayleigh leave.

That way, everyone is happy and nothing happens.

The problem is that the stone tablet clearly records that the "God King" from eight hundred years ago was an immortal being who was sealed on the final island for eight hundred years and was about to be released!
That was a terrifying existence that once ruled the world and could suppress the entire world.

Even if Kizaru likes to slack off, we can't pretend we didn't see it.

He had to report, at least to let the Warring States know that such a terrifying being was about to revive!
But how can he prove it?
The only way is to stop Rayleigh, or at least stop the Poneglyph, so that Sengoku can come and take a look at it in person, and then discuss whether to report it to the Five Elders or just defect to the enemy.

Yes, Kizaru even considered defecting to the enemy.

Anyway, I just clock in for work.

It doesn't matter who the boss is.

"How explosive is it? The most important thing right now is to execute the Pirate King's son. You hurry up and finish dealing with things there, then come back!" Sengoku reprimanded.

He sent Kizaru there to minimize trouble.

Knowing that Kizaru, with his laid-back personality and aversion to offending people, would let Luffy go, otherwise, if they had sent an admiral like Akainu to kill Luffy with one punch, the Navy might have started fighting amongst themselves before they could even execute Ace.

But now, Kizaru has his sights set on the Poneglyphs.

This made him furious.

“But if it involves the final island, and is related to the original Twenty Kings, and even mentions Nika and the master of the Void Throne, an immortal who is still alive, then is it simple?” Kizaru said.

Upon hearing this, the Warring States period was speechless.

Holy crap, is this Im's existence recorded in the Poneglyphs?
“Wait there, I’ll be right there!” Zhan Guo said.

Even at this point, he still didn't care much, because even the most secret things become unimportant after eight hundred years.

Im exists on the Red Line.

A mere historical period can't cause any major upheavals.

However, when Sengoku rushed over, intending to deal with this lazy general casually and drag him back, he glanced at the stone tablet and his Observation Haki was activated.

Then, a historical account that was clearly out of the ordinary flooded his mind.

"The Void Throne has another master? The twenty kings of yesteryear were all servants? The World Government was supposed to be equal for everyone, and there was no such thing as the Celestial Dragons. It was only after twenty slaves, freed by the God-King, joined forces to betray him that the United Kingdom became corrupt, leading to the Celestial Dragons and the Celestial Dragons?"

The Warring States period was so intense, it felt like my scalp was about to explode.

He could imagine what the various member states of the World Government would think and how the Revolutionary Army would use this information once it got out.

Furthermore, and more importantly, that king was still alive.

The stone tablet prophesied his return in eight hundred years—something that would be hard for anyone else to believe: a king who disappeared for eight hundred years would return. Because in the pirate system, cultivation doesn't increase lifespan; immortality and power are two different things!
The problem is that Sengoku roughly knew of Im's existence!

Although I don't know much about it, I understand that someone has lived for eight hundred years!
Therefore, he believes that if there really was such a "Southern Heavenly King" in history, then he may have already returned!

It's right on the sea.

“These are truly turbulent times!” Sengoku looked at Kizaru and said, “You immediately, right now, go and seal off the island. Not a single word about this stone tablet is allowed to leak out, understand?”

Compared to Kizaru's panic, he remained relatively calm.

Because the angles from which you are standing are different.

In Kizaru's view, the Poneglyphs shook the foundation of the Celestial Dragons, and even though he was an Admiral, he might be silenced if he knew about them.

However, from the perspective of the Warring States period, even in the era of twenty kings, if they rebelled, the navy would only have to face the issue of choosing sides.

They won't be silenced.

There is no force on this vast ocean that can silence a naval admiral!
"And you, can't you just retire peacefully?" Sengoku looked at Rayleigh again, his face full of headache, and said, "Why do you have to suddenly create something like this? Did you think Roger didn't cause enough trouble back then?"

This gave Rayleigh a real headache.

"You think I want to meddle? The problem is, with this thing appearing in the Sabaody Archipelago, do you think I can just keep living a retired life?"

Everyone knows what kind of people the World Government is.

That's the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

"Furthermore, there are rumors circulating that this thing was brought out by Roger from the final island. I can tell you with absolute certainty that it is absolutely not true!"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku glanced at Rayleigh.

Finally, he said, "I believe you. Let's treat this Poneglyph thing as a rumor. If you don't say anything, if I don't say anything, and if Kizaru doesn't say anything, no one will know it's true!"

As for the matter of that God-King, let's wait until he comes out before we talk about it!

Next, the Warring States period began to ponder how to make the "rumor" a reality and prevent others from noticing the stone slab.

But just then, the Den Den Mushi on his waist suddenly rang.

"What's going on now?" Zhan Guo said, somewhat annoyed.

The next moment, a voice from one of the Five Elders came from the other end: "I need to ask you, what are you doing? A Celestial Dragon was attacked earlier, and I told you to send an Admiral to handle it. But when the Admiral arrived, the Celestial Dragon was killed. What exactly is the Navy doing?"

These words startled the Warring States period.

"What did you say? A Celestial Dragon was killed? Which Celestial Dragon?"

"Charlos Saint, the one who got beaten up earlier, was killed by a woman named 'Zhou Wushang,' who even arrogantly left her name behind!"

"That five elders said angrily."

But the next moment, a sound of slamming a table came from the other end of the phone, followed by his angry shouts: "What? More people have died, several of them? They killed Celestial Dragons and left their names before walking away? Are all the people in CP0 pigs?"

"What? Everywhere in the world, wherever Celestial Dragons appear, they've been attacked?"

"Even the Heavenly Gold has been stolen?"

The next moment, the sound of slamming the table turned into flipping the table, accompanied by a series of clapping sounds and an extremely angry shout of "Baka yarou!"

This made Sengoku suddenly realize that something really big might be about to happen!
