Minimizing the aftermath is easy, but dealing with Luo Xiu is much more difficult.
This can be learned from accounts made by individuals during the Warring States period.
Luo Xiu has grown to the point where he can threaten the Navy Headquarters and even shake their current position.
The demonic group behind them, and the black creatures, even after living for so many years and knowing many world secrets unknown to others, they still have no idea what to do with them and no clue whatsoever.
It's like a force that appeared out of nowhere.
powerful!
mysterious!
unknown!
"Do you know the exact location where Luo Xiu escaped?" The old man in the kimono looked at Sengoku and asked in a deep voice.
Sengoku raised his head and said, "No!"
"The military seagull responsible for monitoring Luo Xiu's movements has been killed!"
"The last footage that came through showed that it was the black bat soldiers who took them away!"
Although the moment Luo Xiu piloted the warship away from Impel Down, he immediately ordered his men to conduct a full-scale interception in the Calm Belt.
In the end, they only found an empty warship floating on the sea.
Meanwhile, Luo Xiu and his companions were led away by the black creature.
Without suitable anti-aircraft weapons or monitoring equipment, it was impossible to know Luo Xiu's exact location from the air.
"Black Bat Soldiers?"
"It must be a black creature!"
"They can transform into shadows and move through space, each with its own preferred direction!"
"No matter how you look at it, it looks like a well-trained army!" The old man with the mustache frowned deeply as he pondered these matters.
I have to say, it's terrifying!
Individually, they may not be that great, but when they unite and each performs its own function, the energy they generate is completely different.
Furthermore, these black creatures all seemed to obey Rosh's commands.
Their execution capabilities are many times better than those of the useless navy.
The elderly man in the kimono nodded in agreement.
We need to add one more, someone who seems really hard to kill...
"Given the current situation, capturing Luo Xiu is proving to be quite difficult and inefficient!"
“In comparison, it would be simpler to have him come to us on his own initiative!” the old man in the kimono said coldly, but... how could he possibly do that?
Just as he was pondering this, the door to the conference hall was suddenly pushed open.
Vice Admiral Garp and Commander-in-Chief Steelbone Kong walked side by side toward the conference room.
........
Chapter 115: Public Executions Continue? Ace Becomes the Execution Stand-in!
Behind them followed three admirals.
The five people strolled into the Five Elders' meeting room. Except for Kong, whose complexion was slightly better, the other four had gloomy faces.
"Have you made arrangements for the follow-up matters within the city?" The old man in the kimono asked, his gaze falling on Kong.
“It’s under reconstruction!” Kong nodded and informed Magellan of his demotion and promoted Hannibal.
As he spoke, he stood next to Sengoku, while Garp stood on Sengoku's other side.
The three generals, whose pursuit mission had failed, stood silently to the side.
"Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, has been successfully arrested!"
"It has now been placed at Naval Headquarters!"
Steel Bone continues to report.
A few hours ago, the Blackbeard Pirates brought Ace to Marine Headquarters in exchange for him becoming a Shichibukai.
Upon receiving the news, Steelbone Kong immediately went to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
The Whitebeard Pirates?
Ace?
Upon hearing this name, the Five Elders frowned.
Garp was the one who reacted the most.
At this moment, his fists were clenched tightly, and even with his head down, it was clear that something was wrong with him.
He had watched Ace grow up from a child and always raised him as his grandson.
Now, however, it is in the hands of the navy.
But he was powerless to do anything about it!
Add to that the failure in the Rochefort incident.
At that moment, he suddenly looked several years older.
"Ace?"
The Warring States period saw a slight change in expression.
When he learned that Fire Fist Ace had the name D, and that he joined Whitebeard and even became the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.
He had secretly investigated Ace's identity without Garp's knowledge, and learned that Ace was the son of the former Pirate King Roger. He also knew that Garp had once secretly raised Ace as his grandson without the knowledge of the Marine Headquarters.
Unexpectedly, he was arrested.
"how?"
"Is there something wrong with this person's identity?" The bald elder among the Five Elders asked, noticing Sengoku's slightly surprised expression.
"He is... the biological son of the former Pirate King Roger!" Sengoku had no reason to hide it and directly revealed his identity, but he excluded Garp's role in it.
"The scourge left behind by Roger?"
"Damn it, he even has a son!" The white-haired old man's eyes twitched violently as he was shocked by the news. Then, his eyes turned sinister, determined to kill this scourge.
"Just a nobody!" The old man in the kimono wasn't very surprised. He knew Ace's identity even earlier than Sengoku. Back then, it was the World Government's intelligence agency, CP0, that intervened in the investigation of his background.
But he didn't take it to heart. If Roger couldn't cause any big trouble, what could his own son do? Compared to the impact Roger was having on the World Government, it was nothing.
However, successfully capturing Ace would allow us to take advantage of the situation and make good use of it.
"The Navy Headquarters must have been planning this for a while before the public execution!" the old man in the kimono asked, bringing up the matter of the public execution of Luo Xiu.
Sengoku visibly straightened up, recalling unpleasant memories: "The public execution plan... is now scrapped!"
This matter was already put on hold when Luo Xiu killed the Celestial Dragon.
After all, they're not even sure if the person is in Impel Down, so what's the point of executing them?
"Reopen now!"
"Replace Roche with Ace!"
"Announcing his identity to the world and continuing the public execution!" The old man in the kimono placed the first generation Kitetsu at his waist and announced this in a cold voice.
Will the public executions continue?
Execute Ace?
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone present was stunned.
Sengoku's expression hardened. He hadn't expected the Five Elders to propose continuing the execution at this time, especially the execution of Ace.
Instinctively, he looked at Karp.
Garp's face was so dark it seemed like it was about to drip water, and his knuckles were clenched so tightly they were white, as if he was about to explode.
Seeing this, Sengoku quickly grabbed Garp's arm. He really dared to believe that Garp might do something impulsive, but this was not the Marine Headquarters, and no one would tolerate that.
This was meant to indicate that we were from the navy and should consider the bigger picture.
Even so, the elderly man in the kimono among the Five Elders noticed Garp's unusual behavior.
However, he merely sneered, his eyes filled with contempt.
He already knew that Garp had gone against the Navy's wishes to help Ace, and he also knew that Garp was a troublemaker.
If it weren't for the need for the title of naval hero to promote the navy, become a benchmark for the navy, and help the navy continuously recruit new generations, he would have dealt with Garp long ago.
Now is not the time for infighting!
"Publicly execute Ace?" This time it was Kong who spoke, but after a moment of confusion, he understood the Five Elders' purpose in doing so.
The elderly man in the kimono nodded: "This time, because of the performance of those useless Navy soldiers, the World Government's credibility has plummeted to an extremely low point!"
"We must use a major event to cover up the fact that things are escalating further!"
"Publicly executing Roger's son is a good option!"
"Moreover, Luo Xiu's location has been lost, making it quite difficult to track him down again!"
"So, we might as well wait and see. Maybe a public execution will attract Luo Xiu over!"
Those present began to ponder these words.
"What if Luo Xiu... doesn't come?" Kizaru asked. After their recent encounters, he had come to fully realize that Luo Xiu was an extremely cunning sixth brother.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
Using a public execution to lure Rochefoucauld out doesn't necessarily seem to work.
"Humph!"
"Rosh has always been at odds with our navy!"
