Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the bullets fired at the couple seemed to be hit by something in mid-air, flying directly to the side.

Before anyone could react, Balinks suddenly let out a pig-like scream.

Everyone instinctively looked at him, only to see him slumped on the ground, his body writhing and screaming in agony.

The hand that had just grabbed the girl was now folded in half—yes, folded directly in half, making his arm appear half the length of its previous length.

"Enemy at work! Protect Saint Balinx!!"

A member of the CP organization shouted, and then the group immediately spread out, surrounding Balinx and scanning the surroundings with their eyes.

Seeing this, the couple on the other side also realized what was happening and immediately grabbed their daughter and ran out without hesitation, heading straight out of the village.

Having finally gotten a chance to escape, they had no intention of staying to watch the show; all they could think about was how to get away as quickly as possible.

Unlike some fools in certain novels who, having just escaped life-threatening danger, don't think about how to run away quickly, but instead stay behind to watch the show and see who saved them.

If the person who saves him is stronger, that's fine. But if he's not strong enough and gets killed, wouldn't that be a disaster?

The CP organization members paid no attention to the three's escape; all their attention was focused on their surroundings, wary of any potential dangers.

They didn't notice anything unusual when Balinks was injured.

This meant that the person who made the move was likely far more powerful than them. Realizing this possibility, one of the CP members shouted to those around him:

"I don't care who you are, you need to know who you're targeting!!"

"The man behind me is the great Saint Balinx, a descendant of the Creator of the World, possessing the noblest bloodline in the world. To attack him is to provoke the Navy and the World Government!"

"I advise the person who just made the move to come forward voluntarily, otherwise, if we catch them, your parents, friends, and everyone connected to you will be implicated!"

"You'd better think this through!!"

Whoosh!

A whooshing sound suddenly came, and a purple slash wave, four or five zhang long, shot out from not far away, rushing towards Balinx at an extremely fast speed.

This slashing wave is the best answer.

!!!

Several members of the CP organization had drastically changed their expressions and roared in unison:

"Protect Saint Balinks!"

All the CP members stood in front of Balinx Saint, staring intently at the incoming wave.

The slashing wave before them brought them a strong sense of life and death crisis; they had no confidence whatsoever that they could withstand it.

But even if they couldn't stop them, they had to. As members of the CP organization, they absolutely couldn't watch the Celestial Dragons die before their eyes. Even if someone had to die, they had to die first!

"drink!!"

Everyone let out a low shout in unison, and then they all rushed towards the incoming wave attack.

however--

In an instant, the CP members who touched the slash were blasted away, and a mouthful of blood gushed from their mouths.

The wave continued its momentum, relentlessly attacking Balinx behind it.

The gaze of Balinks fell upon him in astonishment.

boom--

Balinx was also instantly cleaved away, the shield above his head shattered, and a line of blood appeared on his body, running from his head to his groin.

Tear it apart!!

With a tearing sound of flesh being ripped apart, Balinks was cleaved in two, blood splattering everywhere and spilling into the water, creating an extremely gruesome scene.

All the villagers around stared in utter terror at the scene, speechless for a moment, and an eerie silence fell over the place.

After a long while, the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard.

However, no one spoke. All the villagers were perfectly aware of one thing at that moment.

This is a huge problem!!

The death of a Celestial Dragon here will definitely cause a huge upheaval, and some of them may be affected.

Upon realizing this, many people suddenly understood and immediately rushed into their homes, packing their belongings.

For safety reasons, we can no longer stay here!

Meanwhile, somewhere far away, Kyle sheathed his Purple Lightning sword, and with a thought, it vanished from his hand, replaced by a Den Den Mushi.

Without hesitation, Kyle dialed the number directly into the phone.

The call was answered shortly afterward, and a powerful and authoritative voice came from the other end.

"Moshi Moshi, I am Sengoku!!"

"It's me, old man!"

Kyle spoke.

There was a long silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi. Seeing this, Kyle seemed to have anticipated what was going to happen next and took the Den Den Mushi far away.

The next second, a voice like a lion's roar rang out from the Den Den Mushi.

"Kyle, you brat, how dare you call this old man?!"

"He went out to sea with that old man Garp without even telling me, and hasn't even made a single phone call in all this time!"

"Now that old man Garp is back, and you brat are still not back!"

"Do you even see me as your grandfather anymore? Do you still want to come home? If you don't, then don't come back!!"

"Really? Then I won't reply?"

Kyle asked tentatively.

The Warring States period fell silent for a moment, then another second later.

Sengoku: "Kyle, I'm %￥#*&@#￥%!!

……

After a long while, when there was no more sound coming from the Den Den Mushi, Kyle picked it up and asked it with a smile:

"Old man, are you done cursing?"

"If you don't have it, keep cursing, I'm listening!"

"You little brat, you must have held the Den Den Mushi far away just now, don't think I didn't know!"

Sengoku spoke irritably, then paused for a moment before saying:

"Speak, what do you want with this old man? You wouldn't be coming to me for no reason, you brat!"

"Actually, it's nothing major. First of all, I'm going back on a warship tomorrow, and I should be back at headquarters in a few days!"

"Um?!"

Sengoku hummed in agreement, his tone clearly tinged with joy, but he still tried his best to control his voice, attempting not to appear overly happy, and replied in a low voice:

"Okay. I understand!!"

Although the tone sounded calm, you could actually hear the surprise hidden within.

This is perfectly normal!

It's no wonder that Zhan Guo is overjoyed that his great-grandson has finally returned after being gone for so many days, but he can't show it too obviously because he has his pride.

After coughing, he asked:

"Is there anything else?"

"Of course!"

"I just saw a Celestial Dragon get killed by Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army! It was a horrible death!!"

Warring States Period: !!!

Koushirou, Kuina, Zoro: ? ? ?
