Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Just as Sengoku and Sora were facing off as two naval admirals.

People dressed in CP organization uniforms quickly approached the body resembling a Warring States Buddha.

They received orders from the Five Elders to severely injure or even kill Sengoku when he fought against Sora.

If Sengoku dies at Sora's hands, then Sora will have no choice but to fight the Revolutionary Army to the bitter end.

Garp wouldn't believe that Sora was unintentional, and neither would Dragon.

However, the Five Elders overestimated the fighting prowess of their CP organization members.

Although Sengoku had been retired for many years, his strength had not diminished much.

On the contrary, because his body was better maintained after stepping down as a Yuan Master, his remaining combat strength was much higher than originally expected.

The moment the CP members made their move, Sengoku's golden eyes reflected their figures.

With a flash of golden light, the enormous Buddha body was actually three points faster than the swift CP organization members.

A golden hand appeared on the path leading forward for the CP organization members.

When facing the CP organization members under the Five Elders, Sengoku showed no respect or mercy towards Ku.

With full force, an enormous golden palm print appeared in mid-air.

"Buddha's Shockwave!!!"

A translucent energy wave shimmering with golden light enveloped the heads of the CP organization members.

The pervasive pressure and impact in the air made the CP members feel as if they had been hit by a speeding train at sea.

The body was exploding, and the blood turned into a blood mist in the air.

The white suit that once symbolized status was instantly transformed into a dark red, tattered strip of cloth.

One by one, CP members flew to various locations at an even faster speed than before, smashing one magnificent building after another.

Kong silently looked at his beloved disciple, his tone revealing a deep sense of helplessness:

"Warring States Period, why did you do this?"

"I originally thought that the navy that would appear in Mary Geoise would be Barrett, Enel, or Raleigh."

"But what I didn't expect was that the navy that appeared in Mary Geoise was you and Garp."

"You should understand what you are doing. From now on, you will have completely broken with the World Government and will be hated by the World Government even more than pirates."

After hearing Sora's words, Sengoku's dazzling golden light began to subside, revealing only his massive Buddha form. He asked, "Master, do you think Garp will leave if the dragon is here?"

"He only has one son, Dragon. Although we haven't been in much contact over the years, you know Garp's personality. He's the kind of person who would risk his life to protect even the offspring of the Pirate King Roger."

.

"If you can let Garp and me take the dragon away right now, we promise we can leave Mary Geoise right now. I can even guarantee Garp that he will never appear in front of the world again."

A surge of anger welled up inside him, and he couldn't help but burst into a tirade:

"Garp's an asshole, and you're an asshole too?"

"Why didn't you stop him from ordering?"

"I'm telling you, Mary Geoise has been destroyed, and the World Government's face has been stomped on by Dragon and his Revolutionary Army."

"Under these circumstances, do you think the World Government would let Dragon leave Mary Geoise?"

Zhan Guo was also helpless. He understood the reasoning, but often, just because the reasoning was right did not mean he had to do it.

Faced with the World Government, symbolizing the world's orthodoxy, and his friends and nephews, Sengoku, without exception, chose Garp and Dragon.

"Teacher, please allow me to call you 'teacher' one last time."

"For so many years, Garp has always caused you trouble, and I have always listened to you and arranged everything. But now it's different. I plan to follow my heart and make a choice like that bastard Garp."

Both of them felt helpless, and at the same time, they had a burning anger inside them that they couldn't vent.

The dilemma lies solely with Garp and Dragon.

One wanted to protect the two of them, while the other wanted to capture the dragon.

Unfortunately, the ideas of the Warring States period were too impulsive.

As the leader of the Revolutionary Army who wreaked havoc in Mary Geoise, Dragon's hatred among the Five Elders was so intense that they wished they could tear him apart.

In any case, even if Sora and Sengoku vouch for Dragon at the same time, it would be impossible to save Dragon from the Five Elders.

After all, the Five Elders had wanted to get rid of Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, for quite some time.

The reason they didn't kill him was because the dragon's movements were too secretive, and the CP organization never discovered the Revolutionary Army's stronghold.

Now, Dragon has led the Revolutionary Army to Mary Geoise. If the Five Elders don't kill Dragon, they'll think they've lost their minds.

"Is it absolutely necessary to save the dragon?"

Sora confirmed with Sengoku in front of him one last time.

"Yes."

Sengoku's eyes were filled with remorse, but his tone remained firm.

Kong stood in mid-air, and the aura that had suppressed everything began to slowly dissipate. From the perspective of the Warring States period, Kong seemed to have suddenly aged more than ten years.

"I'm going to risk all my pride."

"I'll go talk to the Five Elders and, in our names, guarantee that the dragon will disappear from the world's sight forever after it leaves Mary Geoise."

"The Revolutionary Army can do whatever they want with him, but Dragon must unconditionally accept the orders of the Five Elders."

"Only in this way might there be a slight chance of surviving the Five Elders."

Zhan Guo nodded slightly.

Reason told him that this was not a viable solution.

But things have come to this point, so even if it's not feasible, we have to try it, otherwise maybe this only chance will actually be approved by the Five Elders.

Sengoku nodded gratefully:

"Teacher, I'll contact Garp and Dragon and try to get them to accept this condition as well."

Sengoku was here because he didn't want to see his old friend Garp die at the hands of the Celestial Dragons.

Since there is a possibility of reconciliation, there is no need for him to become mortal enemies with the World Government.

As long as the dragon's attack on Mary Geoise can be resolved, Sengoku will still be the semi-retired naval commander.

After discussing their plan, the two headed off towards their respective goals.

Inside the massive palace in Mary Geoise, which was already half collapsed.

Garp, Dragon, Sabo, and other Revolutionary Army cadres are engaged in a major war against the World Government, led by the Five Elders and centered around the Knights of God.

Boulders flew everywhere, and everyone fought desperately, hoping to break the deadlock from their own side.

The rumbling sound continued incessantly.

The sounds of weapons clashing and fists clashing could be heard intermittently in mid-air.

However, everything changed when Sora and Sengoku came along.

Seeing the two people acting unusually peacefully, both sides stopped and looked at Sora and Sengoku.

Now, the number of people in the arena is fixed. Although the Revolutionary Army is not as strong as the World Government, it is not something that can be defeated in a short time.

In Sora and Sengoku, whichever side you choose to join, that side will gain overwhelming combat power.

The Five Elders also retreated into the Knights of God, frowning as they inquired about Kong's intentions:

"What happened that made you all stop fighting when you should have been fighting?"

The Five Elders of the Demon Blade, holding their demon blades, asked Kong, who was walking towards them, in a calm tone.

Anyone who sees two generals walking together will feel a sense of unease deep down.

After all, the two of them had made it quite clear that they had reached a consensus on this idea. However, the Five Elders remained very cautious about it until they were certain that it would be beneficial to them.

He opened his mouth, a look of extreme embarrassment flashing across his face, but he quickly composed himself and said:

"Lord Five Elders, Sengoku just made me a condition: to let Garp and Dragon leave this place."

"He promised that dragons would never appear before the world again, and Garp agreed to keep this promise with him."

"As for the revolutionary army, General Dragon will no longer concern himself with them."

The burly five elders, their faces contorted with rage and disdain, said:

"Kong, do you think this is children's play?"

"Who do you think would believe what you're saying?"

"If this had happened before the dragon led his men to attack Mary Geoise, we might have considered this condition, but now, Mary Geoise has been destroyed by him."

"Therefore, the dragon must die at our hands."

Even if you want to join their camp, our attitude will not change.

The Five Elders' resolute attitude was within Sora and Sengoku's expectations.

After all, what the dragon did was really too much.

Mary Geoise, which had never been attacked in eight hundred years, was turned into ruins by the dragon.

Dragons pose a far greater threat to the World Government than the sea tyrants Rocks and the Pirate King Roger.

Sengoku's expression hardened, and his mind began to race.

Just as the entire room fell silent, Sengoku finally came up with an idea that wasn't really an idea.

"Lord Five Elders, we are currently only part of the Revolutionary Army. Don't forget that we also have the Navy standing behind us."

"Rayle might not come to Mary Geoise because of the dragon, but with a few of us old guys in tow, he'll have no choice but to come."

"After all, both Sora and I were once Fleet Admirals, and Garp was once a Marine hero, so Raleigh won't see us die in Mary Geoise."

The long-bearded Five Elders narrowed their eyes.

The words from the Warring States period may seem problematic, but they are actually a point that cannot be ignored.

Currently, only two forces remain at sea.

One is the World Government, and the other is the navy under Lorimo.

The revolutionary army and pirates have faded from the stage of history.

Even the Five Elders, who are usually arrogant and domineering, have to consider the consequences of fighting the Navy.

The World Government already has a hard time dealing with just a surprise attack by the Revolutionary Army.

If they were to face another opponent who was no less capable than themselves, the Five Elders would truly have no other options.

Seeing the Five Elders remain silent, Sora and Sengoku exchanged a glance.

It seems that this tactic of borrowing the tiger's power has struck a chord with the Five Elders.

Sengoku walked straight to the dragon's side, looked at the wounds the dragon had sustained from its battle with the Celestial Dragon's Shield, and sighed:

"Dragon, is your wound in the way?"

The dragon shook its head; the blood on its body had already begun to congeal.

"Marshal of the Warring States, I'm not in any major problems. Although it looks rather terrifying, it hasn't damaged my very essence."

The Warring States period continued:

"Dragon, I've known about your thoughts and your wishes for a long time. Garp and I have been following you all these years."

"What I'm trying to say is, if something is already impossible, why risk your own life and the lives of your family?"

"Come with me, and you and Garp will disappear from the world's sight. Don't worry about the Revolutionary Army."

The dragon's eyes still burned with fierce fire. He shook his head and decisively rejected the Warring States' idea.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, you know my character."

"It is a must to lead the revolutionary army to conquer Mary Geoise. I have persisted in developing the revolutionary army for so many years, so that one day it will be like today."

"You don't need to persuade me anymore, the revolutionary army is my family."

"I want to be with them. To fight until death."

The dragon's expression was helpless, but deep in his eyes remained an unwavering belief.

Rumble!

Rat-a-tat ...

Dragon couldn't bring himself to abandon these revolutionary soldiers who had given up everything and faced death, and flee Mary Geoise.

"My soldiers are still fighting hard against the enemy."

"Moreover, I promised them that if we win this war, we can spread the revolutionary army's ideology to all parts of the world."

"We've said before that if someone dies while exploring the path forward, then they deserve respect!"

"So, Marshal Sengoku, you don't need to brainwash me anymore. I want to face the Death Dragon with them." This left Sora and Sengoku feeling helpless. What should they say?

In fact, Sengoku had also considered Long's attitude, but since Long was one of his own, Sengoku thought Long would be easier to persuade.

"Kill these rebellious wretches!"

"Bastard, let's die together!"

Rumble!

In the distance, the street, jointly controlled by both sides in the conflict, had been blasted into a particularly wide crater.

As everyone turned their gaze away into the distance, the dragon slowly spoke:

"Marshal Sengoku, I know you mean well, but there's no way to resolve this now."

Even without paying special attention, he could guess what the distant explosion was about.

He must have been a fearless revolutionary soldier who, in his last moments, chose to perish together with members of the CP organization whom he couldn't defeat.

The dragon's body once again entered battle mode; he planned to charge into the crowd alone and tear a line of defense for his brothers.

Just as Dragon was about to rush over to provide support, Garp suddenly grabbed him by the shoulder.

Even elemental transformation couldn't withstand the sheer brutality of Garp's Armament Haki.

"Don't go, Dragon."

Garp lowered his head, unsure of what to say.

"Father!"

The wounds on the dragon's body have stopped bleeding.

Although Garp understood what the dragon meant, he still didn't want the dragon to go there and die.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Garp's eyes; he wished Dragon had never founded the Revolutionary Army.

Even so, the dragon was held firmly in Garp's hand by Garp, who was wielding Armament Haki.

Neither side said anything more nor made any other move.

And so, they remained deadlocked.
