One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

He has released the soul resonance state, allowing Baby-5 to revert to human form.

Then, in his dragon god form, he carried baby-5 and flew all the way here.

When he arrived over the warship, the navy was in complete chaos, and the warship was about to sink.

Many naval personnel have already begun deploying lifeboats to escape.

Some even smarter navy officers would simply fill two boxes with money first, and then figure out a way to escape.

If something goes wrong while escorting the Celestial Gold, even if these Marines return to headquarters, they will face the wrath of the Celestial Dragons and judgment and punishment from the World Government.

Since you're going to die anyway, why not take some money and run away to live a happy life in anonymity?

Don't assume that the navy is all righteous and without selfishness or greed.

Just like how not all pirates are vicious criminals, there are also simple adventurers who are just labeled as pirates.

Abel shook his head at the sight, and simply hugged Baby-5 with one hand while instantly conjuring an ice blade with the other.

Then immediately swing downwards.

Swish!

Asura Aurora Slash!

A sniper rifle has immense single-shot power, but if used to destroy a warship, it's not as effective as the Asura Aurora Slash.

A dazzling aurora-like beam of light shot out and slashed through the warship in the blink of an eye, leaving an 'X' mark on the entire hull and instantly slicing it into four parts!

The warship, now split into four, sank completely, and at a rapid pace.

Except for a small number of sailors who managed to escape in time on lifeboats, all the rest sank into the sea with the warship, barely surviving.

But Abel wouldn't be so kind as to let these people go.

"Dragon Fist!"

Abel delivered a powerful punch from above.

The golden dragon crashed into the sea, capsizing most of the lifeboats before exploding with a deafening roar, swallowing all the survivors.

When the explosion ended and the turbulent sea began to calm down, Abel could no longer see any living creatures.

He immediately flew down and lightly touched the surface of the sea with his feet.

The next moment, the thick layer of ice immediately spread outwards from the center of his feet.

Standing on the ice, Abel continued to unleash his icy power until the entire sea surface within a radius of several kilometers was frozen before he stopped.

The reason is that in this way, even if some fish manage to escape, they will not be able to survive.

This also serves as a kind of marker.

After he goes back, he can bring more people to salvage the warship wreckage.

Since the Celestial Dragons are unwilling to hand over the Celestial Gold as protection money, then they shouldn't blame the Celestial Dragons for taking matters into their own hands and robbing it.

Even Abel himself didn't expect that he would get an unexpected gain when he just came out to test the new magical weapon form.

"gone back."

Abel picked up baby-5 and soared into the sky once more.

When he flew back to Beehive Island, no one knew that he had been away during that time and had done something significant.

He summoned Judge and marked the coordinates on the nautical chart. "Take some men here to salvage it. I just sank a warship that was transporting the Heavenly Gold. There are still some ice layers that I specially froze on the sea surface, making it very easy to identify. Salvage the Heavenly Gold, count all the spoils, and bring them back to the warehouse."

"Ah? Okay, I'll go now."

Judge was dumbfounded. When did the chairman go out again and sink the warship escorting the Heavenly Gold?

Oh my God……

Despite his shock, Judge quickly made preparations.

After all, salvaging a shipwreck requires a lot of auxiliary equipment.

Chapter 895 A Twist of Fate Changes the Plan

Clap!

Akainu, his face dark, smashed the table to pieces with a single punch.

The reason, of course, is that Kalifa's information was transmitted to the Navy through the World Government.

Upon hearing that it was just a misunderstanding and that everyone from the Dragon Hunter Guild had returned, Akainu, eager to regain his lost face, smashed the table in anger, drawing disapproving glances from Sengoku and the others.

What happened to the admiral?

Who in this room is not older than you?

Even the lowest-ranking officers, Lieutenant General Garp and Lieutenant General Tsuru, only refused to be promoted to general back then, which doesn't mean they lacked ability.

In addition, there's Zephyr, the former admiral; Kizaru, the current admiral; and Sengoku, the fleet admiral.

Even if you want to get angry, it's not your place!

Despite his frown and dissatisfaction, Sengoku saw that Akainu was sensible enough not to go any further and acted as if nothing had happened.

He couldn't possibly reprimand Akainu for every little thing.

At the rank of admiral, everyone cares about their reputation.

"Pass down the order: the exercise will continue."

"Continue? How can we conduct the exercise? We don't even have an enemy right now."

Akainu was immediately displeased.

"What do you know? The worst outcome is to disband everyone without any clear direction. The lower-ranking naval units will have serious doubts about the authority of the higher-ups."

Zephyr didn't give Akainu any face and directly retorted.

Having been an instructor for many years, he naturally doesn't speak politely or tactfully.

Furthermore, Akainu was trained by him.

It's perfectly acceptable for a teacher to give a few words of instruction to their student, right?

But as I said before, Sakazuki is no longer the naive young man he once was.

He's an admiral now!

One of the candidates for the next Admiral of the Navy!

So Akainu's expression immediately turned ugly, but he held back and didn't retort.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Tsuru casually remarked, "If there is no enemy, then create one."

"There are so many pirates on the high seas, you can't catch them all."

"Is it so difficult to just pick a suitable target and let the subordinates practice?"

Zhan Guo nodded slightly; he shared the same thought.

In short, they couldn't let the navy below know that their intelligence was wrong and that they had made a huge blunder.

Otherwise, where would their prestige lie?

What should we do if something similar happens again?

Everyone has heard the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

If war were to break out, even the slightest hesitation could lead to enormous losses.

Therefore, the Warring States period preferred to make this exercise a real one rather than simply disband it to save trouble.

Akainu isn't stupid; he's just too concerned about someone. That's why he felt tricked and became furious when he learned the whole thing was a misunderstanding.

After he calmed down, he agreed with everyone's decision.

"Then let's discuss which target we should choose to take action against?"

Upon hearing this, everyone wore thoughtful expressions and remained silent.

Because this target is not easy to choose.

The strength is too weak, after all, the entire Marine Headquarters was mobilized, and in the end they only captured a few pirates with bounties of over 100 million. This is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, it's just plain stupid!

Logically speaking, the only targets worthy of such a large-scale attack by the Navy are the remaining three Emperors.

But here's the problem: Sengoku never intended to fight the Four Emperors to the death at this time.

Even if we win, we won't make any money!

So after narrowing down the pool, there are actually only a few candidates left.

"Xiao He, you tell us first."

Seeing that no one spoke, the Warring States period began to select people.

Crane didn't mind and said directly, "We need to minimize the losses while also fighting a brilliant battle. I think we can target the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

"The Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates? Weren't those two pirate crews already defeated and their captains killed... Wait, do you mean..."

Kizaru raised an eyelid, then suddenly understood, revealing a surprised expression.

He thought to himself, "He truly deserves to be called the 'Great Strategist'!"

High, it is high!

"That's right. Although Kaido and Charlotte Linlin are dead, many of their followers are still alive. These people have formed the remnants of two pirate crews and are still active in some parts of the New World."

"They've just kept a much lower profile than before, partly to guard against a purge by the Dragon Hunter Guild. But so far, Abel and the Dragon Hunter Guild he leads don't seem to have any intention of wiping them out completely."

"In other words, the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates are just two vain dogs with empty shells. They do have some guys with bounties of hundreds of millions, or even over a billion, but that's precisely why they're more suitable as targets for our training exercise, isn't it?"

After He's analysis, everyone's eyes lit up.

That’s right!

Aren't these two paper tigers already?
