Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Two emperors in one group.

Before the Straw Hat Pirates, only the Red-Haired Pirates had this configuration in this era.

The Straw Hat Pirates went even further, pulling an admiral onto their ship. Who would want to play with that?

Kuzan unleashed a burst of ice energy, which instantly condensed around him. "You guys also summoned the Four Emperors. If you can't beat them, you form an alliance. It seems we've put enough pressure on our captain."

Katakuri cursed, "You Straw Hat Pirates are monsters."

Kuzan laughed: "I like hearing that."

He took a step forward, and the ice beneath his feet spread rapidly, freezing the surrounding air.

"But now is not the time for idle chatter. Are you Big Mom Pirates' executives going to continue blocking our way?"

Katakuri gripped his trident tightly, his eyes hardening: "Of course, this is Mother's order. We will not retreat."

Kuzan said, "You can't win. Don't you understand the situation right now?"

Katakuri replied, "There's no question of understanding or not understanding. We will absolutely not let you get involved in that battlefield."

Kuzan narrowed his eyes, ignoring him.

It's only a matter of time before we defeat these guys.

What puzzled him now was what the Navy was thinking. This was essentially a war initiated by four Yonko crews, yet the Navy hadn't made a single move, which was quite unusual.

The only possibility is that they have other motives.

The reason the Navy could remain silent must be because of some conspiracy by the World Government.

Kuzan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

It's best to finish this quickly.

He charged forward, icy blue light gathering on his arm, and threw a punch.

"Frozen Fist!"

......

As Kuzan feared, the Navy's inaction was indeed due to orders from the World Government.

Meanwhile, at the Navy Headquarters, in the Admiral's office.

The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

With the admirals and former Fleet Admiral Sengoku all present, it would be absolutely wrong for the navy not to intervene in a situation that should throw the seas into disarray.

Akainu sat behind his desk, his face ashen, his fist slamming against the table repeatedly with a dull thud.

"A battle between the Four Emperors! Two alliances! Three Four Emperors! Whitebeard is on his way, plus other random forces. What are those guys at the World Government thinking?"

Akainu's molten hands flowed across the desk, but thankfully the logistics personnel had already arranged for the scientific research unit to replace it with a desk made of new materials, so even if the Fleet Admiral was constantly on fire, there was no need to replace it.

Akainu gritted his teeth, "A battle of this magnitude, and the Navy is just sitting idly by?!"

Kizaru leaned against the wall and said lazily:

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Didn't the Five Elders give us orders to stay on the sidelines and observe?"

"Wait and see?"

Akainu's voice suddenly rose, "What are you waiting for? To clean up the mess after they've finished fighting? Once those Four Emperors are done fighting, the New World will be in complete chaos!"

Fujitora sat in the corner, leaning on his cane and sword, and said in a deep voice, "I think we should send troops now, or at least deploy troops around Wano Country to prevent the war from affecting civilians."

"That's what I meant too."

Green Bull, unusually, chimed in, "While the orders of the Five Elders cannot be disobeyed, the consequences of leaving a war at the level of the Four Emperors unchecked would be unimaginable."

Even Akainu didn't understand.

What exactly is the World Government thinking?

The battle between the Four Emperors could completely throw the New World out of balance.

Chapter 587 A Person with a Tragic Fate

Compared to these generals, Sengoku, who had remained silent all along, was thinking much more.

Having served as a naval admiral for so many years, he has dealt with world governments more than once or twice.

In this respect, Akainu is nothing more than a greenhorn.

"I think the World Government has other plans."

"What do you mean?" Akainu pressed.

The Warring States period raised its head, its gaze carrying a hint of solemnity:

"You all probably remember the Battle of Impel Down, right? That beam of light that fell from the sky."

The atmosphere in the office suddenly froze.

That was a very memorable experience.

Everyone remembered that terrifying pillar of light, that earth-shattering power, that attack that even the Four Emperors had to deal with with all their might.

No one expected that such a power would suddenly appear on the battlefield.

If Garp and Luffy, grandfather and grandson, hadn't teamed up to break it apart, Impel Down would probably have become a living hell.

Not only were the pirates wiped out, but most of the elite marines also had no chance of survival.

As for that kind of power, people at their level naturally know about it.

Akainu's pupils contracted slightly. "You mean ancient weapons?"

Sengoku nodded: "That's the only possibility. Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the World Government would let the four Yonko crews fight amongst themselves. They might be trying to use this opportunity to eliminate all those threats."

Kizaru pouted and said in his unique tone, "Using ancient weapons to wipe out the entire Wano Country, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, isn't that a bit too much?"

Sengoku glanced at him. "Borusalino, your job involves the most contact with the World Government people, so you should know their personalities."

Kizaru remained silent.

As the Warring States period said, this is not impossible.

Sometimes you have to believe in the madness of the Five Elders; the Impel Down War was actually a thorn in the side of the entire navy.

The World Government possesses a terrifying weapon of mass destruction, and at one point even considered annihilating them along with the pirates.

That weapon must be an ancient weapon.

Do they intend to use ancient weapons to wipe out all the pirates this time?

The current fighting force of Wano Country is not much different from that of the previous Impel Down war, which was a grand feast where the emperors of the sea gathered.

Is it possible to succeed?

Akainu didn't continue on this topic, as it was too sensitive no matter what. In name, the Five Elders were the ones who ruled this world.

His appointment as admiral was indeed due to the strong recommendation of the other party.

Akainu glanced at Sengoku, who was standing there, and asked, "Where's Garp? Where did that old man go?"

The war at the World Expo had only just ended, and Garp had not been seen since.

Zhan Guo shrugged: "Who knows? He didn't tell me before he left."

Akainu snorted coldly, "That bastard always disappears when something happens."

Kizaru smiled and said, "Well, he is Garp after all."

If the freest person on the sea is the Pirate King, then the freest person in the Navy is the Hero King.

Meanwhile, in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, the Five Elders and Im were watching the battle in Wano Country through a video Den Den Mushi.

Im sat on the highest throne, his gaze cold and indifferent.

He never interfered in matters concerning this sea.

Pirates? Navy?

Everything will disappear into the long river of history with time. Countless brilliant talents have appeared in this ocean, but no one can remember their names. Only the World Government controls this world.

"Is the Mother Flame ready?"

Im asked calmly.

The old saint, who took over Satan's position, nodded quickly:

“Everything is ready. We've already turned York on Vegapunk's side, however,”

Grimm hesitated, then quickly said after being glanced at by Im, "What should we do about Vegapunk?"

The fact that this matter was brought up shows how important it is. Vegapunk is a talent to the World Government, as he has, to some extent, recreated the technology of the ancient kingdom.

In particular, the research on the Mother Fire is a godsend for world governments that lack vast energy resources.

The energy required to maintain the ancient weapons has been almost completely exhausted. The World Government's strategic weapon is the one capable of destroying a country at any time.

Unfortunately, such people are not loyal to the World Government.

Vegapunk has gradually slipped out of control, attempting to explore the World Government's taboos and the Void Century of History.

"Now that we have the Mother Spark, we don't need that guy anymore. Let the Navy and CP0 deal with him."

Im's tone remained unchanged; in his eyes, Vegapunk was no different from an ordinary person.

He can replace the Five Elders without hesitation, let alone just a scientist.

Im's gaze fell on the video Den Den Mushi, and his eyes, high on his throne, were filled with boundless rage.

Nika!

"This time, you won't be so lucky!"

This time, we don't care about the balance of the ocean anymore; we'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Forget about pirates; anything that disobeys the World Government's orders will die.
