The Alternatives of the Tianlong Family

The old man with the knife sat on the sofa, his tone unusually cold.

"Isn't this a good thing? They've delivered themselves to our doorstep, saving the navy the time of searching for them in this vast ocean."

The bald old man was quite pleased to hear that the Rocks Pirates had attacked Marine Headquarters. After all, in his eyes, the Rocks Pirates attacking Marine Headquarters was tantamount to the Rocks Pirates coming to their doom.

"In your opinion, that's true. But what if we fail to destroy the Rocks Pirates? The consequences and troubles would be quite troublesome."

"It's not just the navy that's losing face, but also the face of our world government."

Indeed, as the old man said, if this matter is messed up, it will greatly affect the signing of alliances between the world government and other countries in the future.

It could even lead to some questioning of the World Government by countries that have already joined.

“Yes, you’re right. The Rocks Pirates’ attack on Marine Headquarters is good news, but it’s also bad news. The turning point depends on the Marines’ actions,” another old man said calmly.

Just as he finished speaking, a touch of color appeared in the dark night in the distance.

A huge flash of light appeared and then disappeared, followed by a violent explosion.

The five elders were immediately taken aback, and all looked towards the window outside.

"What's going on? Why is there an explosion? And it seems like it was quite loud."

As he spoke, the old man had already reached the window.

Could it be...?

As the old man followed behind, a thought flashed through his mind.

"Could it be... could it be that the Rocks Pirates' target isn't Marine Headquarters at all, but rather the Holy Land of Mary Geoise???"

"That can't be it!!"

At the same time, the old man with the knife had already walked from the sofa to the window.

"The main target shouldn't be the Holy Land Mary Geoise, because in the reports I've heard, Rocks appeared at Marine Headquarters. So the only possible person to be in the Holy Land Mary Geoise is a small squad of the Rocks Pirates."

"Makes sense."

The other four elderly men nodded.

"Rocks is a real madman. Attacking the Marine Headquarters is one thing, but he even has designs on the Holy Land of Mary Geoise."

"His arrogance won't last long. His decision today will bring him to ruin."

"I hope that, as you say, once the Rocks Pirates are eliminated, this sea will be peaceful for a while."

····

Without a doubt, on Steelbone Sky's side, just minutes after the Rocks Pirates attacked the Marine Headquarters, he immediately received the message to return to base urgently.

However, he is still some distance from the Navy Headquarters, and it will take him at least an hour to reach them.

If we were to ask who among Kong, Sengoku, and Garp is the happiest at this moment, it would undoubtedly be Garp.

Seeing Garp's expression, good heavens, if you didn't know better, you'd think he was a spy for the Rocks Pirates.

However, Sengoku and Kong were very familiar with Garp's personality; this guy gets excited and passionate whenever he encounters a strong enemy.

“Brubru…”

“Brubru…”

Inside the ship, Kong was discussing important matters with Sengoku when the Den Den Mushi next to them rang.

Steel Bone hesitated for a few seconds, then quickly answered the call.

"Admiral Steelbone, latest orders: not only has the Marine Headquarters been attacked by the Rocks Pirates, but the Holy Land of Mary Geoise has also been attacked."

"However, because the Fleet Admiral took a portion of the navy stationed in Mary Geoise from the Holy Land, he wants you to go to Mary Geoise to provide support and protect the Celestial Dragons," the navy liaison officer said anxiously.

Steel Bone Kong didn't say much, just nodded: "I understand."

After saying that, the other end quickly hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Before Steelbone could say anything, Garp quickly spoke up, "Let's make this clear first, I'll take the first mate to Marine Headquarters for the next stretch of road."

Cyborg glanced at Garp and said indifferently, "I never expected you to come with me to Mary Geoise to protect the Celestial Dragons."

"Ha ha ha ha···"

····

Meanwhile, on Is's side...

They were almost back in Mary Geoise, but of course, they knew nothing about what was happening at Marine Headquarters or in Mary Geoise.

"Wang Bang!"

Is threw out his last two cards.

Acnologia frowned slightly as he looked at the few cards he had yet to play.

"Alright, hurry up, it's time to change people."

Tornado stood behind Acnologia and urged her on.

This was also the first time Is had played Dou Dizhu (a card game) since arriving in the pirate world. Of course, neither Acnologia nor Madara Uchiha knew how to play it; they had only recently learned it.

As for playing cards? For someone with a Paper-Paper Fruit, that's far too simple.

Please give me flowers and monthly votes! If you like it, please support me!

Chapter 36

"We lost again... This shouldn't be happening."

Acnologia placed his deck of cards on the table, then reluctantly stepped down, letting Tornado take his place.

"How could we not lose? You bastard, Is is the landlord, and we're just commoners. Why are you always betting on my cards?"

Madara Uchiha scoffed, "Judging from Acnologia's demeanor, anyone who didn't know better would think Madara Uchiha was a landlord."

“Ban, I don’t like hearing you say that. Weren’t you the one who kept giving me signals to play my cards? Besides, didn’t I play a 7 later? And you still couldn’t pass.” Acnologia retorted.

""

Madara Uchiha stared at the last 3 in his hand, lost in thought. At this moment, he was unwilling to argue with Acnologia any longer.

····

In the hall, Is and his group seemed to be having a great time.

There was fine wine, delicious food, and laughter.

It's a very heartwarming scene.

"Da da da!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Everyone turned their gaze toward the door.

The maid then went to open the door.

Upon recognizing the World Government personnel, Acnologia, Tatsumaki, and Madara Uchiha continued playing cards.

The man in the black suit approached Is and spoke softly.

"Lord Bernard Issa, we have arrived beneath the Red Line. When would you like to depart for the Holy Land of Mary Geoise?"

"Huh? Are we here?"

Is was slightly taken aback, perhaps because he had been having a good time and it didn't feel like much time had passed.

"Yes, Lord Bernard Issa!"

"I see!"

Is nodded and waved for him to step back.

After the man in the black suit left, Is said to Acnologia and his group, "That's enough, we should go."

Upon hearing Is's words, they all threw their playing cards on the table and stretched.

"Finally here? It feels like... this trip was much faster than the first one." Tornado yawned, her eyes showing a hint of sleepiness.

“Mianian”.

Is got up from the sofa and called out.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes Minian, who had been waiting nearby, quickly came to Is's side.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Go to my place and get a clean set of clothes for Acnologia!" Is said, picking up a cup of freshly brewed coffee from the table and taking a small sip.

"Okay, master!"

Indeed, Acnologia's current clothes are similar to those Madara Uchiha wore when he first arrived here, making him stand out from his surroundings.

If they had to compare the two, then Acnologia would naturally be better, because Madara Uchiha's outfit looks like it was worn by the same person.

As for Acnologia... in Is's eyes, it looked almost like beggar's clothes.

After dealing with these matters, Is then instructed World Government personnel to include all those on his side in the list of nobles.

Then, they took their private elevator back to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

As soon as they went up, although it was night, under the moonlight, Is and his group could still see the thick smoke in the distance, and the firelight was also faintly visible.

Just as Is and his group were feeling surprised, the city gate slowly opened, and a group of guards quickly walked towards Is.

"Enemy?"

Acnologia instantly became alert, ready for battle at any moment.

Tornado rolled her eyes at him and said calmly, "Relax, we're on the same side!"

As he spoke, the guards reached Is and saluted him.

“Welcome back, Your Excellency Bernard Issa, but there’s been a problem in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. Please come with me to the safe zone first,” the lead guard said.

"Something's gone wrong???"

Listening to the guard's words, Easton immediately had a bad feeling.

"Yes, there have been intruders in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. The Navy is dealing with it, but it will probably take a while. For your safety, please come with me to the safe zone," the guard replied.
