Food: I found Eri Nakiri in the world of Food Prisoners

"Speaking of which, don't you guys find the battles in this world strange?"

Rukia Kuchiki suddenly said something.

"It is indeed quite strange. I had heard some stories about the Marine Headquarters and some great pirates before. Why do battles in this world often last for days and nights?"

"And that guy called Kaido of the Beasts, he's been captured so many times and he still hasn't been killed, that's really strange. With the strength of those guys in the Marine Headquarters, taking him down wouldn't be difficult at all!"

Everyone felt that this world was somewhat bizarre, after all, they were already used to the battles in the Toriko world, and not to mention Toriko world, even in the One-Punch Man world, the goal was to kill the enemy as quickly as possible.

No one has ever seen a battle that lasts for days and nights.

To be honest, Xu Yong also felt that these people's fighting was like child's play, and they were basically all bragging. But when they actually started fighting, he found that even if they did sit-ups all day, they couldn't last a whole day.

Luffy and Kaido are the most typical examples. As for Shiki, perhaps this guy stands in mid-air and keeps throwing things down. Although the Navy's Moonwalk can also fly into the sky, it is definitely not as agile as Shiki.

In everyone's opinion, the fighting methods in this world were all very bizarre. However, they just made a few comments and then stopped paying attention to what was happening here, instead running around the world.

The reason is simple: finding Devil Fruits is not an easy task for the people of this world, since Devil Fruits always appear randomly.

Some Devil Fruits are born on deserted islands, so finding them is naturally not easy, but it's much simpler for Xu Yong and the others to search using their soul power.

After all, Devil Fruits possess very special energy that can be easily captured by the power of the soul.

Over the next few days, the group traveled around the world, collecting a large number of Devil Fruits along the way—the quantity of which was practically wholesale.

Meanwhile, things were getting very lively in the Sabaody Archipelago and Mary Geoise as well.

In the past few days, Akainu and Aokiji have also arrived at Mary Geoise, but no matter how they attack, they cannot break through the outer barrier.

During this time, the Five Elders launched an attack, but it was still useless; the barrier's strength exceeded their expectations.

On the Sabaody Archipelago, after Garp arrived and learned of Tsuru and the others' ordeal, he immediately launched an attack on the Strangling Thorns, but the result was obvious.

The harder the blow, the harder the beating. Fortunately, people in the pirate world are tough, so Garp was only seriously injured, his body wrapped in bandages. At this point, he dared not continue to attack the vines.

Meanwhile, the Four Emperors also arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago one after another, so that outside the Sabaody Archipelago, there was a circle of Marines and pirates fighting, while inside, a group of big shots were watching the live broadcast.

However, at this moment, all of the Four Emperors except Shanks were wrapped in bandages. The reason was simple: apart from Shanks, the other Four Emperors did not believe in the superstition and attacked the vines.

After all, Kaido, who was the first to arrive, saw Garp's seriously injured state. Kaido is a drunkard who would do anything when drunk, and he didn't believe that Garp would lose to a bunch of vines.

So Kaido made his move, and was severely injured by the Strangling Thorns. Although he didn't die, his injuries were much more serious than Garp's. (Lee's)

However, the Navy did not take action against Kaido. The reason is simple: the Four Emperors are tools for balancing the seas, so the Navy naturally does not want the Four Emperors to die.

Otherwise, with Kaido being captured so many times, there are plenty of ways to kill him; a strong person could simply take action.

However, they have been using ordinary methods to execute Kaido, and knowing that Kaido would escape, they even used warships to escort him. Isn't this deliberately letting Kaido leave?

The World Government needs pirates because only when there are enough pirates and they are strong enough can they deter these kingdoms. Only when these kingdoms are threatened will they seek help from the World Government, allowing the World Government to smoothly and normally obtain sufficient benefits.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to touch the Four Emperors. As for the Marineford War, Sengoku and the others were helpless. If Ace were just an ordinary great pirate, they could simply release him or keep him locked up in Impel Down.

However, the problem is that Ace is Roger's son, which means the Navy cannot release Ace and has no choice but to go to war with Whitebeard.

Otherwise, given Whitebeard's condition, he wouldn't live for more than a few years, and the Navy wouldn't be so foolish as to provoke someone who's about to die.

After Kaido was seriously injured, Shanks was the second to arrive. However, Shanks had learned his lesson. After seeing Kaido and Garp's condition, he simply gave up attacking the vines and waited instead.

Next came Whitebeard and Big Mom, both of whom were also skeptical of superstition, and naturally ended up getting beaten up by the vines.

Whitebeard, in particular, was already badly injured, and after being beaten up, his condition worsened.

However, he could hold on for a while longer and wouldn't die suddenly. After all this, no one dared to provoke the vines anymore. After all, even a being like the Four Emperors had been thoroughly beaten, let alone anyone else.

Chapter 154 Desperate Im, the Mocked Navy

"The consequences of food shortages are beginning to show."

After a few days, with all of Mary Geoise's food taken away by Xu Yong, the Celestial Dragons, lacking food, naturally stopped caring about cleanliness.

At first, the Celestial Dragons would rather starve themselves than kill and eat people. It wasn't that they were kind, but rather that they considered themselves noble world nobles, descendants of gods. How could such noble beings possibly eat the flesh of these slaves?

So they were just being dismissive, but this only lasted for a day or two. Although there were elites among the Celestial Dragons, the vast majority were just a bunch of trash.

They had always lived a life of luxury and had never experienced hunger, so when they were desperate for food, they had no choice but to take action against the slaves.

Although the slaves wanted to resist, they were unable to do so because they had explosive collars around their necks and the Celestial Dragons were surrounded by a pack of hounds. In the end, they could only be killed.

However, the number of these slaves was not enough. The vast majority of the slaves in Mary Geoise were innocent, so Xu Yong took them away. Only some pirates were not worthy of sympathy, and Xu Yong left them in Mary Geoise.

It's not just these Celestial Dragons who need to eat; their hounds need to eat even more. Moreover, the stronger they are, the greater their appetite becomes. This number of slaves is simply not enough to sustain them for several days.

In fact, these lackeys were starting to have new ideas. Previously, the Celestial Dragons had always been the world's nobles, the most esteemed beings in the world, so they were willing to become their lackeys.

But now things are different. Everyone is trapped here, and they have also noticed that all kinds of attacks from the outside and inside are completely useless.

Even when the Five Elders and the three Admirals of the Navy attacked together, the outer barrier remained unchanged.

They also tried to dig through the ground to escape, but the underground was also sealed off. So, in a place where the chance of rescue was almost zero, if they wanted to live a little longer, they had no choice but to target the Celestial Dragons.

Although this only prolongs their lives, how many good people are willing to serve as lackeys for the Celestial Dragons? So they will do anything to survive.

The reason they haven't attacked these Celestial Dragons yet is because they haven't been pushed to their limits. Also, the Five Elders are still around. Once they're pushed to their limits, they naturally won't care about Celestial Dragons anymore.

Although they could still attack their other colleagues, these Celestial Dragons were undoubtedly much easier to deal with. So, if they hadn't been rescued by then, in order to survive, they had no choice but to ask these Celestial Dragons to go with them.

Whitebeard and the others could see the bloodlust in these people's eyes at a glance.

"Wait, the barrier seems to have changed!"

Crane suddenly spoke up, saying that the Marines and the Four Emperors were all watching the live broadcast together, which was unavoidable. Although Crane and the others didn't want to hang out with these pirates, they weren't going to leave.

They couldn't directly expel the other side, since all four Emperors were here. If the Navy were to wage war against the four Emperors at the same time, there was a high probability that the Navy would be the one to be defeated. So, they had no choice but to temporarily cease hostilities.

However, she suddenly noticed that the barrier enveloping Mary Geoise had changed.

"It's shrinking, that barrier is shrinking. Could it be that it can't withstand such a long attack and is about to dissipate?"

Marco looked at the moving barrier on the screen and said, "After all, the Navy has been attacking continuously, and the Five Elders stopped attacking after a while in order to conserve their strength."

However, Kizaru and his admirals took turns attacking, and warships continuously transported various weapons to the Red Line.

These weapons continued to attack the barrier relentlessly. This was Sengoku's idea, partly to give an explanation to the Five Elders and others inside.

On the other hand, such continuous attacks might be useful, since any defensive ability requires energy, just like how ability users consume stamina when using their abilities.

If he continues to maintain the Buddha-like state, he will eventually exhaust his strength and be unable to maintain it.

Therefore, he felt that continuous attacks might break through the barrier.

In fact, Sengoku also had his own ulterior motives, which was that deep down he also hoped that the World Government could be destroyed, because he knew very well what the World Government was really like.

According to the Navy's sense of justice, they should be taking action against the World Government.

However, the Navy's survival still depends on the World Government, so they have no choice but to be a tool in the World Government's hands, and they also have to protect those trashy Celestial Dragons.

He didn't want it to be this way, but the Navy had to do it this way if it wanted to exist. Although the Celestial Dragons were evil, they were still a bit inferior to pirates.

After all, the number of pirates is simply too large. If these pirates are left unchecked, he has no idea what the sea will become.

But now the opportunity has come. Perhaps the Navy can become independent. Although there will be many problems to solve, Sengoku would be happy to see it break away from the World Government's control.

The change in the barrier surprised everyone, but soon some people noticed something was wrong.

"No, it's not that the barrier is disappearing, it's just shrinking. It's because it thinks the people inside are dying too slowly."

Shanks suddenly spoke up, saying that as the barrier shrinks, the living space for the people inside will become smaller and smaller.

The myth of the Celestial Dragons has now been shattered, and in everyone's eyes, those Celestial Dragons are nothing short of a disgrace.

Although Morgans was restricted by the Navy and dared not release news recklessly, some people present were secretly leaking news, including Doflamingo.

Although he was a Celestial Dragon in the past, he also hated them. After all, when he brought his father's head back to the Holy Land, they did not allow him to return.

It can only be said that Doflamingo was unlucky, dragged down by his own father, who was a pure idealist.

They're fine with the Celestial Dragons' aura protecting them, but once that aura is gone, they're doomed.

He was completely unaware of this, nor did he know how deep the resentment of outsiders held towards the Celestial Dragons. As a result, he ended up killing his own child and wife. It can be said that his death was not unjust.

Doflamingo was extremely displeased with the Celestial Dragons after being refused entry back to Mary Geoise, so he was eager for the whole world to witness their misfortune.

Although Morgans dared not release the news, Doflamingo did, so news about this place was flying everywhere.

The myth of the Celestial Dragons has long been shattered. Even if the barrier is broken, the world's fear of the Celestial Dragons will be greatly reduced.

There are even many people on the high seas who would target these Celestial Dragons, which is exactly the scenario Doflamingo wants to see.

At this moment, he looked at the shrinking barrier with a strange expression, because this move was very similar to the birdcage he had developed. His birdcage move had the same effect, or even more cruel, since those lines would cut everything in two.

However, Doflamingo was also well aware that his abilities were no match for this barrier, and he didn't think his Birdcage could withstand the attacks of the three admirals.

"The barrier is starting to shrink!"

At this moment, Akainu, who was attacking the barrier, also noticed the problem. He quickly realized the consequences of this happening, but there was nothing he could do to stop it.

However, just as he was about to continue attacking the barrier, he suddenly sensed a powerful force gathering above him.

A warning from his Observation Haki indicated that this power threatened Akainu's life. Realizing this, Akainu's legs suddenly turned into magma, and he was sent flying backward by the recoil of the magma.

The next second, a huge beam of light descended from the sky and slammed directly into the barrier.

"Huh? Is this a desperate measure?"

On the other side, Xu Yong, who was playing with the group, also sensed the impact of this power and instantly knew what had happened.

"What's wrong, Mr. Xu Yong? What happened?"

Some of the people asked with curiosity.

"Remember when I told you about the true ruler of the World Government? That guy named Im just unleashed a powerful attack directly at Mary Geoise."

Xu Yong spoke up, clearly indicating that his shrinking of the circle had made Im uneasy. Im was already very wary of this barrier, but he felt there must be a way to resolve it.

However, the shrinking circle made him restless, so he simply used the Heavenly King to directly bombard the barrier. This attack was capable of destroying the island.

Im didn't want to use it, since after this attack, the Celestial Dragons of Mary Geoise would probably be reduced to a very small number.

This was something he didn't want to see, but he couldn't care less about that now. In the end, he fired an attack directly at the shrinking barrier.

This attack also stunned everyone watching the live stream.

"So they had such a trump card hidden all along! The World Government really kept it well hidden!"

Whitebeard's expression turned grave as he watched this scene. Although he wasn't there, seeing Akainu abandon the other Marines and flee for his life, he knew just how terrifying this attack was.

Whitebeard never intended to attack the World Government. He wasn't Roger; he simply wanted to live on with his children. It was that simple.

However, the World Government's ultimate move still shocked him.

"Although it's very powerful, it seems to be useless. The barrier wasn't affected at all."

After a closer look, Shanks realized that the attack had been completely ineffective. The barrier was still shrinking, and the World Government's hidden trump card had accomplished nothing except killing a bunch of Marine soldiers and weapons.

"Damn it, these bastards don't care about the lives of our navy at all!"

Garp was furious. The attack just now came without any warning. The group had tried it over the past few days. Although people and things couldn't get in, they could still communicate. But now the World Government was attacking directly without any warning.

As a result, the naval soldiers on the Red Line lost their lives in vain.

Akainu only survived because he ran fast; otherwise, that attack might have killed him as well.

Enraged, Garp immediately called Sengoku.

"I know what you want to say, I will handle this!"

Sengoku naturally knew what was going on, because someone had been reporting the situation to him. So after learning about the situation, he knew what Garp was going to say.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku looked at the Five Elders' personal Den Den Mushi and then punched it hard, smashing the Den Den Mushi that was communicating with the Five Elders.

This time, Sengoku was also enraged, because there were quite a few naval soldiers in Mary Geoise. As a result, this attack killed over a thousand people, except for Akainu.

After cutting off contact with the Five Elders, Sengoku directly called Kizaru and the others.

"Retreat? Is that really a good idea? What if this barrier fails to open in the end? The navy will be in big trouble then!"

Kizaru naturally knew what had happened, since Akainu had already escaped back. However, he was worried that if the barrier broke and the World Government wasn't destroyed, would they eventually settle scores with them?

"If such a thing happens, I will take all the blame. You only need to obey orders now!"

At this moment, Sengoku was furious and didn't care about the World Government anymore; these were the lives of thousands of naval soldiers.

Hearing Sengoku's words, the others didn't say anything more, even Akainu, since he might have been killed if he hadn't run away quickly.

Although he is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, the attack just now gave him a feeling that his life was threatened. This was not an illusion. Having just escaped death, Akainu naturally no longer cared about the so-called World Government.
