The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

"A husband will not run away!"

At this moment, the shackles of slavery were completely broken by paternal love and anger!

He was no longer a "tyrant" passively accepting his fate.

He must become a "tyrant" who can control the fate of his family!

But before that...

The bear pressed the answer button on the Den Den Mushi.

But it's not Gern's Den Den Mushi, it's Dragon's Den Den Mushi!!

The moment the call connected, Kuma's voice was more resolute than ever before, even carrying a hint of undeniable madness. He growled into the Den Den Mushi...

"Mr. Long."

“It’s me, Xiong.”

"My wife and unborn child are in the hands of the World Government."

"Now is not the time to plan, nor to wait."

"I demand an immediate 'attack'! The target: any CP or Celestial Dragon facility that might be holding them! At any cost!"

"I need the Revolutionary Army's strength now! Can you help me?!"

Upon hearing the bear's voice, Den Den Mushi's expression clearly froze for a moment, obviously not expecting Ginny to be pregnant, but it was only a moment of surprise.

Because what followed was silence, endless silence...

Seeing this, the bear laughed, and then Dragon's Den Den Mushi was crushed by his enormous hand.

I stood up too!

At that moment, he made his choice.

This time, it's not about atonement, it's not about the future...

It's for this moment! To reclaim his 'world'!

Immediately afterwards, the dial tone of the Den Den Mushi rang again.

“I am willing to accept any fate, Mr. Guern.”

There was no excitement as when facing the dragon, only calmness, because he knew that as long as he got through on that call, Gern would definitely help him, so...

"So, please help me..."

Chapter 316 is just the beginning.

Naval Headquarters, Marineford, Admiral's Office.

A heavy atmosphere still hung over the room. Sengoku rested his hands on the desk, his brow furrowed so deeply it could trap a fly.

Across from him, Garp, unusually, didn't munch on the rice cracker; he simply held a single cracker, his face bearing a rare look of melancholy.

"So... you really don't plan to give Zeff a try?" Garp asked in a deep voice, his usual boldness gone.

"No matter how outrageous that kid is, shouldn't he at least listen to his teacher a few times?"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo sighed deeply, a hint of helplessness and anger on his face: "I did look for him! Of course I did! I contacted him immediately!"

He rubbed his aching temples, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction: "And that old man! He actually told me he was sick! Very sick!"

He needs to rest! He even said... Tesoro's wife and daughters, as well as his own wife, all need his care, and he's completely shut himself in!

"Trying to pull this on me at this crucial moment!"

Zhan Guo grew angrier as he spoke, slamming his hand on the table: "He clearly guessed that I wanted him to be the envoy, and he deliberately avoided me!"

If he, as the teacher, doesn't intervene, who else can stop that crazy kid?!

Seeing his old friend's exasperated expression, Garp silently stuffed the senbei into his mouth, chewed it a few times, but found it rather tasteless.

He sighed, his voice lowering, "Sigh... that kid Gern, he's definitely not going to let this go this time, and that bunch of idiots in the World Government too..."

How could the Warring States period not know this? He lowered his eyes, his fingers unconsciously tapping the table, remaining silent for a long time.

Only then, as if having made a tremendous decision, did he slowly raise his head, his gaze heavy as he looked at Garp.

“So… Garp,” his voice was hoarse, “I hope… you can go.”

“If necessary…” Sengoku’s eyes were incredibly complex, with a hint of pleading and a hint of determination, “You can… stop him.”

At least, stop him before he does something irreversible.

Upon hearing this request, Karp stopped chewing completely.

He frowned, and a very serious expression appeared on his usually jovial face:

"Warring States...you want me to stop that kid Gern in that state?" Garp's voice was tinged with seriousness. "You and I both know what that kid is like when he goes berserk."

The anger simmering inside him could burn a hole in the sky! He won't go easy on me just because this old man taught him a few moves.

Garp knew very well how terrifying "Skyquake" Gern was when he was enraged and single-mindedly seeking revenge, and how reckless he was in battle.

Keep in mind that Gern is now no weaker than he was when he fought Roger one-on-one.

Stop him? Easier said than done! That would be tantamount to a life-or-death struggle!

Is it really necessary to add another 'Ruins of Fallen Gods' to the vast ocean?

........

Just when the two pillars of the navy were feeling extremely troubled and burdened by this matter

"Bang!" The office door was suddenly pushed open, and a pale-faced messenger rushed in, panting heavily, even forgetting his manners.

"Reporting...Reporting to the Marshal! Lieutenant General Garp!"

"Emergency! We...we've lost track of General Gern!"

"What?!" Sengoku jumped up from his chair, his pupils contracting sharply and his face draining of color. "What did you say?! What do you mean by 'disappeared without a trace'?!"

Shouldn't he be on his way back to the New World?! Where are all those surveillance ships?!

The messenger shuddered at Sengoku's reaction and hurriedly said, "We were able to lock onto their merchant ship signals before, but just ten minutes ago, all signals disappeared!"

None of our surveillance units deployed at key points along the Grand Line have reported spotting Admiral Gern's warships or any suspicious high-speed moving targets!

He...he seems to have vanished into thin air!

Upon hearing this, Sengoku felt a chill instantly rise from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

They've vanished without a trace?!

In the Grand Line, a sea area heavily monitored by the Navy, a Marine Admiral has gone missing?! This is utterly absurd!

But Sengoku instantly understood what this meant!

Gern must already know the news! And he has somehow managed to completely evade the Navy's surveillance!

After all, Gern didn't disappear on his own; he took Hawkeye Mihawk with him, and Hawkeye isn't a Devil Fruit user.

Is there anyone who can take them away with them if they feel this way?

Moreover, the most important thing now is that if they can't stop them on the Grand Line... the unpredictable Gern has already barged into the New World...

The consequences...!

The Warring States period was almost unimaginable!

Just as Sengoku Ingen vanished into thin air in shock and disbelief, and Garp's expression became extremely grave—

The office door was flung open again!

Another naval communications soldier scrambled in, his face completely pale.

His eyes were filled with extreme terror, and even his voice changed, screaming shrilly: "War...Marshal Sengoku!!!"

"Vice Admiral Garp!!! Something...something really bad has happened!!!"

"General Gern... General Gern!! He... he's appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago!!!"

The communications soldier, overcome with extreme fear, stammered and slurred, "He...he...he cut off the heads of two Celestial Dragons!!"

Right there in the lawless zone!! And then…and then, with his head in his hand…he…and vanished into thin air again!!!

"What?!" Sengoku was struck dumb, grabbing the communications soldier by the collar. His eyes widened like saucers, and his voice was hoarse with shock and disbelief.

"This is impossible!!! Absolutely impossible!!!"

"His last disappearing signal indicates that he had only recently entered the first half of the Grand Line!"

Even at his fastest speed, it's impossible for him to cross half the Grand Line and appear in Sabaody in such a short time!

This completely defies common sense!

"Marshal...the situation is true."

"It's over..." Sengoku slumped back into his chair, lost in thought, muttering to himself, "Something really bad is about to happen... something catastrophic..."

"Gern has gone mad!" Karp realized the seriousness of the situation, grabbed his Justice Cloak, and headed outside!

……

Meanwhile, in the Sabaody Archipelago, a lawless zone.

The once bustling and chaotic area was now shrouded in a deathly silence and terror. The air was thick with a nauseating stench of blood.

The naval commodore stationed in Sabaody stood trembling with a squad of soldiers at the scene of devastation.

Before him lay two headless corpses dressed in magnificent Celestial Dragon attire, lying in pools of thick blood, the severed necks horribly smooth.

The iconic bubble hood had rolled to one side, covered in filth.

Not far away, several world government officials and CP agents collapsed to the ground, terrified to the point of soiling themselves, their eyes glazed over, as if they had witnessed the most horrific sight in the world.

The commodore's face was ashen, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his legs gave way, causing him to collapse to the ground with a thud.

He opened his mouth wide, and a series of gasping sounds came from his throat.

He couldn't even utter a single complete syllable; extreme fear had robbed him of his ability to speak.

The nightmarish scene from just a few minutes ago kept replaying in his mind:

A figure wreathed in black and red lightning appeared out of nowhere like a ghost, without any warning!

A chilling killing intent instantly enveloped the entire scene, freezing everyone in place!

Two twisted black lights, wrapped with high-frequency vibration waves, flashed by and disappeared!

Two heads wearing Celestial Dragon hoods shot into the sky, their faces still showing expressions of shock and disbelief!

The figure didn't even glance at the scene, casually grabbed the two heads, and then... just like when he arrived, he vanished without a trace, as if he had merged into the air!

The whole process was so fast it was breathtaking, so precise it was like an execution, yet it was filled with the ultimate trampling and contempt for the world order!

"Skyquake" Gern...

I'm back...

In the most insane, violent, and lawless manner, it issued the bloodiest declaration of war to the entire world government!

And all of this is just the beginning.

Chapter 317 To pacify external enemies, one must first secure internal stability.

In an unknown sea area of ​​the new world, beside an inconspicuous deserted island, a huge shadow suddenly appears beneath the surface of the sea.

Immediately afterwards, an enormous whale wearing a crown broke through the surface of the water, opening its massive, cave-like mouth.

Immediately afterward, three figures leaped out in succession, landing steadily on the beach of the deserted island.

It was Gern, Hawkeye Mihawk, and an unexpected figure—"Tyrant," Bartholomew Bear!

Gern was still wearing that simple black shirt, but at this moment, a chilling smell of blood and a cold killing intent lingered around him.

In his hand, he carried a package hastily wrapped in expensive fabric, from which dark red liquid dripped continuously.

The reason they were able to so mysteriously escape all the Navy's surveillance and return to the New World from Sabaody Archipelago at an almost impossible speed was thanks to Kuma's bug-like Paw-Paw Fruit ability—slapping away!

And the strong support of King Neptune of Fishman Island
