Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Yes, my lord!" the guards replied excitedly.

During the Onigashima War, Ashura Doji and Izo, two of the Red Warriors, perished. The remaining Red Warriors, though severely wounded, did not die.

After the Onigashima War, they all continued to serve Momonosuke of the Kozuki clan and now hold a pivotal position in Wano Country.

For many important matters, Momonosuke would consult with them before issuing orders.

Chapter 813 The Five Elders' Orders

While Wano Country in the New World is preparing for war thanks to Momonosuke's perception, Fishman Island in the deep sea of ​​the Red Line is no longer as dark as it once was, thanks to the appearance of the Naga and the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Who is it? What is this?" Shirahoshi, who had just come out of the Hard Shell Fortress, was taking her usual walk in the palace when she suddenly heard a strange sound, like someone was drumming in her ear.

He had heard this sound before, but never so clearly.

"Bai Xing, what's wrong?" Shark Star, who had been taking walks around the palace these past few days because she was worried about Naga, quickly went up to ask her sister when she saw her sister acting strangely.

"Big brother, I think I heard something!" Bai Xing said with a puzzled look.

"Oh? Are you referring to those sea kings? Do they need something from you? Or did you hear something?" Shark Star asked with a light laugh.

They had known about Shirahoshi's abilities for a long time, so they didn't find it strange when Shirahoshi communicated with those Sea Kings; instead, they considered it an interesting thing.

“No!” But this time, Shirahoshi shook her head and said, “It’s not those, it’s another sound, like… the sound of drums!”

"Huh? Drumming?" Shark Star was taken aback, looking at White Star in surprise, and asked, "But why didn't I hear it?"

"I don't know!" Bai Xing replied, puffing out her cheeks.

She wasn't stupid; she could naturally see her brother's suspicions.

Seeing that Shirahoshi was unhappy, Shark Star realized what was going on and said with a smile, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that it seems a bit unbelievable! There shouldn't be any drum sounds on our Fishman Island, so the sound you heard is most likely made by some kind of Sea King. It just recently arrived, so you're only hearing it now!"

“No, I’ve heard it before, but never as clearly as this time!” Bai Xing shook her head and said definitively, “And it’s not their voice. I can recognize their voices!”

"Huh?" Only then did Shark Star become a little serious, after all, he had known for a long time that his sister Shirahoshi was the Sea King.

"Could you tell me in detail?" Shark Star asked, looking at White Star.

Bai Xing described the sounds she heard in detail, but Sha Xing was still clueless. So she said, "Let's go see Father and ask him if he knows anything!"

The two then went to the main hall of the palace, where Neptune was handling official business.

"Why are you two here together? Shark Star, why haven't you been handling anything these past few days?" Old King Neptune asked as he saw the two approaching.

“Father!” Shark Star first bowed to Neptune before explaining why he hadn’t dealt with the government these past few days.

Because of Naga, Shark Star was afraid that he would make mistakes in handling government affairs due to emotional issues, so he simply let himself rest for a few days.

"I see. Then you should rest for a few days and accompany Shirahoshi to travel around!" Neptune nodded and replied.

"Father, Bai Xing says she heard some unusual sounds!" Shark Star recounted what Bai Xing had heard about the drumbeats.

After listening, Neptune fell into deep thought.

He had never heard of such a thing before, so after thinking for a moment, he said, "Drumming? I've never heard of such a thing!"

Seeing the disappointment in Bai Xing's eyes, Neptune smiled and said, "Let Shark Star take you to the basement. There are records of our entire fish-man race there. Go see if there are any records about the drumbeats!"

"Great!" Bai Xing's eyes lit up, and she quickly pulled Shark Star towards the basement.

However, after searching the entire basement, they still couldn't find any documents related to the drumbeats.

"Brother, why don't we just forget about it? Maybe I really misheard!" Bai Xing hesitated for a moment before saying.

Shark Star opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Bai Xing's disappointed look, he could only smile wryly and say, "Perhaps you didn't mishear, it's just that we can't find any relevant information!"

Bai Xing smiled; he knew his brother was just trying to comfort him.

“Perhaps when the Naga returns, we can ask her. She has spent a long time in the outer sea, and the Naga race has a lot of documents. Maybe we can find out!” Shark Star suddenly thought of his wife and quickly said.

"Hmm!" Bai Xing's eyes lit up, and she nodded in response.

Bai Xing had complete faith in her sister-in-law. Not only could she command enormous sea monsters, but she was also incredibly powerful. With her joining the Fishman Island, life had become even better than before.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Luffy's Nikka form was making its first official appearance before the world, so even the Navy was unaware of what it meant.

However, the Five Elders in Mary Geoise all changed their expressions drastically upon learning of Luffy's transformed form.

"Oh no, that fruit has actually awakened!" one of the Five Elders said with a worried expression.

"We must have Kizaru and Green Bull kill him on the spot, no matter the cost!" another of the Five Elders said, his face filled with murderous intent.

"This is a must. Tell Kizaru to kill Straw Hat Luffy at all costs. Everyone else can be spared, but Straw Hat Luffy is the only exception!" One of the Five Elders nodded, then picked up a Den Den Mushi and gave the order to CP9 on the other end.

The CP9 members on the battlefield were giving the Five Elders a live broadcast of the situation, which is why they knew about it immediately.

"No, we must tell Lord Im about this!" After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, one of the Five Elders was still quite worried and said, "You should know what that Devil Fruit awakened and what it brought! Besides, the Straw Hat crew came back from the final island; they might already know something!"

“That’s right, things have gotten a bit out of control, we must inform Lord Im!” Another of the Five Elders nodded in agreement.

Upon learning that Luffy's Devil Fruit had awakened, the Five Elders immediately issued a kill order against him. Meanwhile, Kizaru and Green Bull, who were on the battlefield, frowned upon receiving the order.

Putting aside Kizaru's side, Green Bull is currently facing off against Shanks' Red-Haired Pirates. If he retreats, the Navy's flank will likely be breached by the Red-Haired Pirates.

So even though he received the order, he was still hesitant about whether to leave.

"Admiral Green Bull, we have received orders to abandon the Red-Haired Pirates and kill Straw Hat Luffy!" Two CP0 members who were fighting suddenly came to Green Bull's side and said in a deep voice.

Chapter 814 achieved

"Abandon the Red-Haired Pirates?" Green Bull frowned immediately upon hearing this, saying, "If we retreat now, it's equivalent to abandoning this flank! When the Red-Haired Pirates are free, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with them!"

He didn't feel much regret for the navy soldiers, but he didn't want such an order to prevent him from completing the mission. He knew that once the Red-Haired Pirates escaped, they would have to face three pirate crews at the same time, while the navy would gain nothing except the loss of their flank.

"That's why I came to inform you. Let's join forces and take down Straw Hat Luffy before the Red-Haired Pirates arrive to help!" the CP0 member said calmly.

"Use the entire flank of my navy to exchange for the head of a mere Straw Hat Luffy?" Green Bull was stunned and asked in astonishment, "Although there are rumors that they have returned from the final island, it's still uncertain whether they obtained the One Piece, right? Moreover, even if they don't have the One Piece, it's still a question. To pay such a high price for a pirate like him?"

"No need to ask any more questions. This is the order from above. Just tell me whether you want to carry it out or not!" The CP0 member seemed to have really just come to deliver a message and did not intend to beg Green Bull.

“Alright, let’s go!” Green Bull thought for a moment and then nodded in reply, “I’ll leave a clone here to deceive the Red-Haired Pirates!”

As the green bull transformed into a giant ancient tree, it suddenly shrank its body, then separated a piece of wood from its original form, which then took its own shape.

"This clone isn't very useful. It can't move and can only stand here and pretend. We need to move quickly, or the Red-Haired Pirates will definitely find us soon!" After creating a clone, Green Bull's main body said to CP0 beside him.

The CP0 members nodded, and then disappeared on the spot along with Green Bull.

Unlike Fujitora, who pursues justice, fairness, and cares for civilians, Green Bull, also a Marine Admiral, believes that only when everyone unites under the leadership of the World Government will the world be at peace. He sees those who resist as trash, not even human, and that killing them is no big deal.

As for these naval soldiers and CP9 members who are fighting, since they are working for the World Government, they should be prepared to be killed.

So after receiving the order, Green Bull only thought for a moment before abandoning the Navy here and heading towards the Straw Hat crew with the CP0 members.

At this moment, although Luffy had activated Nikka Mode, he was unable to open a passage directly due to the presence of Admiral Kizaru and many androids. However, with the Straw Hat crew's all-out attack, the situation on the battlefield immediately began to change.

"Oh my, what a strange ability! It can even turn warships into rubber?" Kizaru said in surprise, watching Luffy playing around.

After awakening his ability, anything Luffy touches will be assimilated into rubber, which can be considered a characteristic of Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users.

However, unlike ordinary Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users, Luffy at this point has even changed his form, which is clearly a characteristic of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users.

Just as Kizaru was marveling at the wonder of Luffy's Devil Fruit, a vice admiral rushed in front of Luffy, only to have his entire body dented by a single punch from Luffy.

"This is... even enemies can turn into rubber?" Kizaru's expression immediately turned serious.

If that's the case, he'll have to take action himself.

However, when Kizaru used his abilities to get close to Luffy, he realized just how terrifying Luffy in this form truly was.

"How is this possible?" Kizaru's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in astonishment as he watched Luffy turn his laser beams into rubber.

Fortunately, just when Kizaru was about to suffer a loss, Green Bull and two CP0 members arrived.

"Be careful, this guy is a bit strange!" Kizaru said seriously.

"Hahahaha..." Luffy's joyful laughter infected everyone, as if he was very happy while fighting.

"Damn it, I really hate that laughter!" Green Bull, who supports the old rules and looks down on pirates, transformed into a giant ancient tree as soon as he arrived and launched an attack on Luffy.

"Trying to fight our captain isn't that easy!" Several flashes of light appeared, and all the branches attacking Luffy were cut down. It was Zoro, the three-sword style swordsman.

"Looks like the enemies have all been drawn here by you, Luffy!" Sanji, dressed in his battle suit, appeared beside Luffy at some point.

Luffy turned his head and saw that his crewmates had already arrived, including the crew of the Sunny and the Buggy Pirates. They had broken through the Navy's defenses and successfully reunited with Luffy.

"Hahaha... It's great that everyone's alright!" Luffy said happily.

"Let's figure out how to deal with the enemy in front of us first!" He said with a serious expression, looking at the two generals and two CP0 members.

"Tsk tsk tsk... The Navy really goes all out! They actually sent two admirals!" Zoro said with a slight smile.

“It’s not just the Admirals!” Robin stepped forward and said, “There are still quite a few CP9 members on the battlefield, and those in front of us should be CP0, right? And they should be at least captains. You can tell from their masks that they are not low-ranking!”

"Enough with the nonsense... Straw Hat Luffy, the World Government has issued a kill order for you. You must die here today!" A CP0 member pointed at Luffy and said in a deep voice.

"I say... isn't it a bit much for you to just abandon the flank like this?" Seeing Green Bull and the CP0 members arrive, Kizaru showed no joy, but instead said with a displeased expression, "Are you planning to let the Red-Haired Pirates go on a killing spree?"

"The World Government has already issued the order, and I think Admiral Kizaru should have received the message by now!" another CP0 member said coldly.

"This war... is being commanded by the Navy, not the World Government!" Kizaru said, his smile fading and his face hardening.

He was actually saying this to Green Bull as well: "You, as a Marine Admiral, are actually taking orders from CP0. It's beneath you."

"Admiral Borsalino!" The CP0 member suddenly looked at Kizaru, then whispered something to him. Kizaru looked at Luffy with surprise and asked, "Are you sure?"

“Absolutely certain!” the CP0 representative nodded in response.

"Alright, since that's the case, then leave Straw Hat Luffy here!" Kizaru said menacingly, looking at Luffy.

"Is that so? If you want to keep our captain here, let's see if you have the ability!" Zoro seemed to have sensed something and spoke directly.

Chapter 815 The Way Out

"Dad...Dad!"

In the North Blue, at the Whitebeard Pirates' temporary base, Whitebeard was drinking with his crew when he suddenly heard Rakuyo's voice.

"Gurararara... Don't rush, tell me slowly!" Whitebeard looked up and saw Rakuyo running towards him.

"Something terrible has happened!" Laqué shouted anxiously.
