SWNOVELXO Chapter 321: Chapter 421=425
Chapter 421 Retreat
"Ice Age!"
Kuzan, without hesitation, instantly used Shave to reach the feet of the giant Thunder God. Facing the enormous figure, Kuzan unleashed his full ice power, and a biting chill erupted.
The chill was like a whirlwind, rapidly wrapping around the Thunder God's ankles and then quickly spreading across its massive form. In an instant, it enveloped the Thunder God, and the Ice Field surrounding the Ohara Sea Area expanded outwards once more.
Crack!
The sound of ice solidifying echoed through the air as water molecules were rapidly frozen.
Cracking sounds continued to emanate, and in a blink of an eye, the giant Thunder God was encased in ice.
"Whooo-ooh!"
The piercingly cold wind howled wildly across the Ice Field, its sound in the sky like the wails of ghosts and wolves.
The power Kuzan unleashed at this moment was incredibly astonishing.
The power of the Logia Type Ice-Ice Fruit was displayed in a terrifying manner!
The Sea Area within hundreds of miles of Ohara seemed to instantly plunge into winter.
"Huff!"
Looking at the giant Thunder God he had frozen, Kuzan exhaled a puff of freezing air, finally seizing the opportunity to trap Nicholas. As long as he maintained the output of his Ice-Ice Fruit power, it wouldn't be easy for Nicholas to escape.
The ice that enveloped him was as unyielding as if it had existed since ancient times. Kuzan's sudden burst of power and the ceaseless surge of chill made Nicholas's eyes turn serious.
It could be said that none of those who could become Sea Powerhouses were simple. Although the previous ice sealing had failed, Kuzan hadn't given up. Instead, he seized the opportunity to freeze him again, this time intending to trade blows directly. He aimed to completely restrict Nicholas's Action.
"If it were anyone else, you might have succeeded, but..."
As Nicholas's voice trailed off, dense Lightning crackled around the massive Thunder God, and a strange Force Field instantly enveloped the Thunder God.
A bizarre repulsive force, centered on Nicholas, suddenly surged in all directions. The ice covering Nicholas shattered instantly under this immense repulsive force. This strange Force Field, like an invisible Wall, relentlessly swept across the Ground's Ice Layer, spreading outwards.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Accompanying subtle sounds, the invisible Force Field around Nicholas continuously vibrated and distorted.
"Ha!"
Within the Force Field, Nicholas's eyes sharpened at this moment. His Aura was majestic and immensely powerful. Under Nicholas's control, the Electric Current generated an Electromagnetic Field, and under Nicholas's control of the Electromagnetic Field, even more miraculous power was produced.
"Huff!"
Kuzan, constantly retreating to evade the sweeping Ice Wall, stood on a massive piece of Ice and exhaled. His Body was somewhat damaged at this moment, half of his Shoulder was gone, and his entire Body was emitting chill. However, as the chill surged, Ice rapidly replenished his missing Form, and in a few breaths, he completely returned to a normal Body.
Logia Type Elementalization granted immunity to all physical attacks. The outburst of repulsive force just now hadn't harmed him at all.
Then, when Kuzan raised his head and saw the enormous Deep Pit, thousands of meters in diameter and hundreds of meters deep, that had formed around Nicholas, Kuzan's Pupils couldn't help but shrink.
And in the next moment, Kuzan saw Nicholas reach out and point at him. "All Creation Attraction!" Instantly, his Form shuddered, and he was pulled by a powerful suction force. In just an instant, his Body flew rapidly towards Nicholas, as if he were walking right into a trap.
"Two-pronged Spear!"
Realizing the danger, Kuzan immediately formed several Ice spears on both sides of his Body and then shot them directly at Nicholas. Accelerated by gravity and Kuzan's own Power, the Two-pronged Spear was extremely fast, reaching Nicholas in almost an instant.
Facing the rapidly approaching Two-pronged Spear, Nicholas's expression remained unchanged, and he simply said indifferently, "Almighty Push!" Then, the raised Right Hand, the Gravitational Force instantly vanished, transforming into a surging repulsive force.
Bang!
The rapidly flying Two-pronged Spear, upon encountering the immense repulsive force, began to shatter from the spear tip, eventually completely turning into Ice Shards, dancing in the Sky.
However, Kuzan used this opportunity to temporarily escape Nicholas's Gravitational Force, quickly activating Shave and distancing himself from Nicholas. When he reappeared, he was already standing side-by-side with Issho.
"Kuzan, what happened?"
Issho asked, although his Observation Haki was strong, allowing him to 'see' everything that had just happened like a normal person, he couldn't see the invisible force that even normal people couldn't see.
At this moment, the shock in Kuzan's Inner Thoughts was beyond words. The Ability Nicholas had displayed shocked him. He could actually control Gravitational Force and Repulsive Force, which was truly unbelievable.
"Kuzan, have you ever considered a question?"
"That is, when faced with the Conflict between the Justice in your heart and the Order you obey, what choice would you make?"
"Do you think the Actions of the World Government truly represent Justice?"
Nicholas's voice suddenly came, causing Kuzan's Figure to pause slightly.
But soon, the Aura on his Body became even colder. He exhaled a white breath and looked at Nicholas. "Although some Actions of the World Government are indeed a Disgrace to Justice, compared to the practices of Pirates on the Grand Line, they are undoubtedly the most Justice possible. And isn't it a bit excessive for you, a notorious Pirate, to discuss Justice with me!"
Kuzan looked at Nicholas and said with a Taunt in his Tone.
Obviously, in Kuzan's view, although the World Government did do some Things that he found shameful, it didn't affect his adherence to the Justice in his heart. Moreover, the Navy was also working hard to maintain peace on this Grand Line. The nameless monument to heroes on the Back Mountain of Marine Headquarters was the best answer to the Navy's Justice!
Facing Kuzan and Issho, Nicholas's Figure instantly vanished. As a Figure appeared In front of him, Kuzan's Pupils suddenly contracted. He saw a Fist covered in Armament Haki, aimed directly at his face.
The Speed was as fast as Lightning, leaving no time to dodge. In just an instant, he only felt his Forehead being hit hard, and then his whole Person flew out violently. His entire Head instantly exploded, and Ice splattered everywhere.
After crashing onto the Ground, he rolled a long Distance before stopping. Kuzan struggled to slowly stand up, Ice outlining the shape of his missing Head. Looking at Issho, who was once again fighting fiercely with Nicholas, Kuzan only felt his Head buzzing.
That Strike was too sudden and too fast. And weren't they just discussing the topic of Justice? What did suddenly attacking mean! Is Justice spoken with a Fist???
"Vice Admiral Issho, you should fall too!"
Suddenly, Nicholas's voice came, causing Kuzan to suddenly look up. In his Eyes, Issho was currently enduring Nicholas's storm-like Attack. It seemed that at this moment, Nicholas had completely suppressed Issho.
In just over ten breaths, Blood appeared at the Corner of Issho's Mouth. Just as Kuzan was about to Support, the Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly rang.
"Speak your Fart quickly!"
Kuzan picked up the Den Den Mushi and said impatiently. "Vice Admiral Kuzan, it seems like everyone on the Fleet is having problems... they all seem to be going crazy! Ah... don't come over!" "Hello? Hello?"
Faced with the Den Den Mushi suddenly hanging up, Kuzan shouted loudly. "Issho, something's wrong with the Warship, retreat!" Kuzan didn't hesitate at all and shouted loudly at Issho. It could be said that they had brought their own teams for this Buster Call. If they were to be lost here, then their Management of the past few years would be in vain.
"Mr. Nicholas?"
Hearing Kuzan's Words, Issho also frowned and looked at Mr. Nicholas. "Don't worry, it's just that their own Magnetic Field has been slightly damaged. If treated early, there won't be much of a problem, but if it's delayed for too long, I can't guarantee it." Nicholas said calmly.
The Thing with the Warship was indeed his doing. The Organs and Organizations of the human Body all have weak Electromagnetic Fields. They are stable and orderly. As long as they are interfered with by external Electromagnetic Wave, the weak Electromagnetic Field in a balanced State will be destroyed, and the normal circulatory Function of the human Body will be damaged. This is also one of the hazards of Electromagnetic radiation.
"Thank you."
After speaking, Issho directly distanced himself from Nicholas, taking Kuzan and flying towards the Warship. As for the Buster Call on Ohara, it was undoubtedly a failure.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 422: Judge's SOS
Rolling thick smoke spiraled and rose into the High Sky, completely obscuring the sky above the Island. Around the Island, ice covering hundreds of miles was like a mirror of the Sky.
These two originally unrelated scenes fused together, instead gave people a different kind of shock.
On the floating Warship, Issho and Kuzan standing at the bow both turned their heads to look at the Island behind them. It could be said that this Island was the first failure of the Buster Call since Rocks.
"Vice Admiral Kuzan, personnel from the World Government sent an inquiry, where is their Officer Spandam?"
Enduring the discomfort in his Body, a Navy Colonel came to Kuzan and Issho's side and respectfully reported.
"Tell them, their Officer is on the Island behind them. If they want to go find him, we can let them down now."
"Damn it, the Navy's Reputation has been ruined by those World Government guys."
Kuzan said in a bad Tone. Obviously, the World Government had clearly agreed to let go of the Ordinary People of Ohara, only targeting the Ohara Scholars who Research the Poneglyph for Execution.
But the act of sinking the Evacuation Ship while hiding it from the Navy made Kuzan feel particularly unhappy.
Originally it could have been a matter of Justice, but they had to make them look like villains.
"Yes!"
The Colonel who knew his Vice Admiral's Personality finished speaking, directly turned around and left to reply to the World Government guys.
"Issho, what do you say Navy's Justice counts for in the eyes of the World Government?"
Looking at Ohara behind him, although the open flames were extinguished, it was still filled with rolling thick smoke, Kuzan couldn't help but ask.
Obviously, the series of Things made his Inner Thoughts begin to feel confused.
Hearing Kuzan's Words, Issho was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth and said.
"Navy's Justice has nothing to do with the World Government. For the Navy, the Existence of the World Government is to provide Military Expenses and Logistics support, while for the World Government, the Navy is also just a Weapon in their hands to maintain their Rule and the Stability of the Grand Line."
"Perhaps the World Government has not realized that the Navy can leave the World Government, but the World Government cannot leave the Navy."
"And currently the relationship between the two sides is more of a cooperation, mutual dependence, mutual Compromise, and mutual restraint."
...
Ohara Coast, Nicholas silently watched the Navy Fleet leaving in the Sky. And not far behind him was Salon's huge Figure. On Salon's Shoulder, stood Olvia and Robin who was held in her hand.
At this time, Salon and Olvia's Inner Thoughts were extremely shocked, because they clearly knew the meaning represented by the three words Buster Call, and how powerful Nicholas must be to make the Buster Call representing destruction and Death fail.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Ohara, in the Tree of Knowledge Library.
Doctor Clover was organizing everyone to rescue various precious ancient History Books. Obviously, the Ground-Sweeping Cannon Fire from the Buster Call before had brought great losses to Ohara's Tree of Knowledge Library.
One day later, on the Shore of Ohara, a large number of Scholars and Residents of Ohara were pulling simple Sledges. On the Sledges were Books wrapped tightly.
Among them, on the Giant Sledge pulled by Salon, the square Stone Blocks under the Oilcloth were particularly conspicuous.
"Doctor Clover, I have already contacted Ships. You only need to walk towards the northwest direction to the End of the Ice Field to board the Ship and leave, at that time someone will take you to a Safe Place."
Nicholas looked at Doctor Clover and slowly opened his mouth to say.
Although the World Government's Buster Call has temporarily retreated, but this does not mean that the World Government will give up the Suppression against Ohara.
After all, these Ohara Scholars have touched the World Government's taboo, if they are not completely eliminated, the World Government will not be able to sleep or eat in peace.
"Thank you, Mr. Nicholas."
Doctor Clover said sincerely. Obviously, through this Buster Call launched by the World Government against Ohara, it also made him realize that for the sake of everyone's Safety, they could no longer stay in Ohara.
But wanting to leave Ohara was not easy, not to mention these Scholars, letting them Research History is no problem, that is their specialty, but letting them go to Sea in the vast Grand Line to find a new habitat, that is somewhat difficult for them.
So at that time he also directly put down his Face and wanted to seek Nicholas's Protection, after all, with Nicholas's Force, as long as they can reach the New World then they don't have to worry about the World Government and Navy's Suppression.
But Nicholas did not accept their allegiance, after all, in Nicholas's view, he did not need these Ohara Scholars to do History Research work, and even with his Strength, wanting to Protect so many People to safely reach the Territory located in the New World is somewhat unrealistic.
After all, the dangers of the New World are not only Pirates but also the unpredictable Sea Area Climate.
The team set off, stepping on the already frozen Grand Line, quickly moving away from Ohara. Doctor Clover, Olvia and Robin, stood on the Giant Sledge pulled by Salon. Looking at Ohara gradually disappearing behind them, they couldn't help but shed tears, and many Ohara Scholars were also sobbing.
After all, from today onwards they no longer had a hometown. Ohara, once renowned throughout the Whole world and known as the Archaeological Holy Land, was also about to disappear.
However, although the Archaeological Capital in Reality has disappeared, but as long as everyone is united and everyone believes that the "Archaeological Holy Land Ohara" in their hearts will always Exist.
After all, what can carry History is not only those Books, similarly, People as the Fire Seed of Civilization are even more the main body carrying History.
Even if the Books that recorded countless History are destroyed one by one, as long as the People who have Researched and studied it are still there, then the Mark of History will not disappear.
Soon, as Time passed, everyone saw a Fleet at the End of the Ice Field.
Suddenly, a Figure jumped down from the Deck and came to the Ice Field.
"Nicholas, is this everyone?"
The person who came was Dragon. He under the Hood raised his head to reveal his Face, his Expression was full of sternness.
"Everyone is here, they are entrusted to you."
Nicholas nodded. If there is anyone in the World who is willing to Protect and willing to give these Ohara People a place to settle down, I am afraid only the Revolutionary Army who is determined to change the World.
After all, no matter how despicable the World Government is, but at this time it is still the most powerful Existence in the Whole world.
"Dragon!"
Salon's Tone was filled with disbelief, he really did not expect that the person who came to meet them would be Dragon.
"It's Salon, long time no see."
Hearing Salon's Sound, Dragon raised his head and smiled to Greeting.
Then with the help of the Revolutionary Army, all the people of Ohara and the Data they carried were quickly transferred to the Ships.
The next moment, the Sea Breeze that was originally chaotic and disordered on the Grand Line suddenly seemed to have received a Command, blew in one direction, the Sails of all Ships in the Fleet billowed up, driving the Ships to sail towards the Grand Line.
Half an hour later, in Nicholas's Gaze, there were only black dots left, and he could no longer see those Ships.
"Huff!"
Letting out a breath, Nicholas turned his head to look at Ohara. Although it was not completely destroyed by the Buster Call, the Bombardment before still brought huge losses to Ohara. The surface of the Tree of Omniscience standing on Ohara also left a lot of Cannon Fire and Gunsmoke Trace.
It is conceivable that if Nicholas had not stopped it, this Thousand-Year-Old Living Fossil would definitely not have escaped the Fate of Destruction.
Just as Nicholas sighed that destruction is much easier than construction.
The Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly rang.
"Pururu Pururu, Pururu Pururu."
Nicholas picked up the Den Den Mushi and immediately answered. As soon as he answered, he saw the anxious Manner of the Den Den Mushi.
"Mr. Nicholas, help, ah! We are being targeted by Kaido and the Navy, ah!!!"
Along with Judge's anxious Sound, you could hear the Sound of Shell Explosions mixed in.
It could be heard that Judge's Situation was currently quite bad.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 423: News King Morgans
"Hmm?"
Nicholas, hearing Judge's words, was also a bit dumbfounded.
What the hell? Has Germa 66 become this strong these days? Daring to wage war against the Navy and Kaido's Beasts Pirates simultaneously?
You should know that even for someone like him, waging war against Top Tier Grand Line Powerhouse simultaneously is incredibly stressful.
"Hey, Judge, you've become quite fierce in just a few days, daring to directly go to war with the Beasts Pirates and the Navy."
Nicholas said jokingly.
"Mr. Nicholas, what are you joking about? Go to war with those monsters? How would I dare?"
Judge also had a bitter look on his face. He had long since received intelligence about the Beasts Pirates and the Navy entering the North Blue.
Originally, he thought that the Beasts Pirates were coming to the North Blue to recuperate after being ambushed by the Whitebeard Pirates in the New World and driven out of Wano Country. As for the Navy, they must have come to the North Blue to keep an eye on Kaido and prevent him from taking any irrational Action.
After all, in the eyes of the Navy and the World Government, the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line were their Back Garden, and they absolutely could not allow dangerous Weapon like Kaido to wreak havoc.
But he did not expect that the Beasts Pirates were coming for him, and the Navy somehow learned that Germa possessed Technology that Kaido was determined to obtain.
Holding the idea of absolutely not allowing Kaido's Beasts Pirates to become stronger, or perhaps also coveting Germa 66's various technologies, including Clone Soldier, the Navy directly launched an Attack on Germa 66.
For a time, Germa 66 could be said to be completely unable to resist and was being utterly defeated.
Perhaps if the Beasts Pirates and the Navy had not also engaged in fierce Conflict, Germa 66 would have been finished long ago.
"Alright, I understand. I'll get there as soon as possible."
Nicholas hung up the Transponder Snail after speaking.
For him, Germa 66 was considered an Agent he had planted in the North Blue, so he was unwilling to see Germa 66 get into trouble.
Moreover, whether it was the Navy or the Beasts Pirates, once they obtained Germa's Technology, their Strength would definitely usher in a wave of enhancement, which Nicholas could not tolerate. After all, according to the famous theory of relativity, if the enemy gets stronger, then wouldn't he indirectly become weaker?
Thinking of this, Nicholas also took out the Transponder Snail and dialed out.
…
The night was deep and serene.
On a Remote Island where all sounds were still, a loud cry suddenly rang out, startling a large number of Delivery Gull.
The Staff inside the Mobile Newspaper Company, located in a hidden Position in the Island Center, also looked at Morgans, who rushed out of the Office, with puzzled expressions. They obviously did not understand what Major event had happened to make their president so excited.
You know, recently, neither the great War in Wano Country in the New World, nor the War between the Navy, the Beasts Pirates, and Germa 66 in the North Blue had made Morgans so excited.
However, after figuring out what had happened, all the Newspaper Staff became as excited as Morgans.
"President, is the intelligence accurate?"
"This is Big News!"
"It's unimaginable that the World Government would launch a Buster Call on Ohara. What exactly did those Scholars do!?"
"Shouldn't the focus be on the Buster Call being repelled? This is the first time since the Rocks Pirates that someone has directly defeated a Buster Call!!"
"Actually, everyone knows that the Buster Call is just so-so against Top Tier Grand Line Powerhouse. If it were really that terrifying, the Emperors in the New World would have been wiped out long ago. However, it is still the Buster Call, known as the World Government's great Weapon, so this News will definitely be a huge hit."
The Staff of the World Economy News Company discussed intensely. Obviously, for them, what could be more exciting than breaking super explosive Headline?
"Everyone, if there are no Accidents, we're going to be working overtime again tonight."
"President, are you saying 'again' as if we aren't working overtime every night?"
Someone couldn't help but let out a teasing Laughter. For them at the World Economy News Company, it could be said that they were working overtime every day. After all, this Grand Line is too magnificent, and Things happen almost every moment. They need to summarize the intelligence from Various Locations Worldwide and decide on the content to be published.
It can be said that perhaps the Headline determined in the previous moment may be replaced by a Major event delivered in the next moment.
However, the Staff did not have too many complaints about this. Just like the Pirates chasing One Piece on the Grand Line, they also have their own pursuits.
Morgans was very satisfied with the State of his Staff. Holding up the latest intelligence he had received with his Wing that resembled Birds Wing, he said solemnly: "The World is ushering in a great Era of change, and we are destined to leave a strong mark in History as recorders!"
"Clap clap clap!!!"
The Staff applauded vigorously. Obviously, this Pie in the Sky was really tempting.
"Alright, little ones, hurry up and get to work. Only by publishing the most exciting intelligence of this Era can we be qualified to leave our names in History!"
After encouraging his editors, Morgans also planned to return to his Office, where he still had a lot of work to do.
"President."
Just as Morgans was about to turn around and leave, a slightly unfamiliar Sound rang in his ears.
Following the Sound, Morgans found that the Person who called out to him was a Staff member in the Newspaper Company whose performance was not outstanding and who was usually very inconspicuous.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Morgans frowned and looked at the Staff member in front of him who was wearing a Hat and lowering his head. Although he was very unhappy, he still asked patiently.
The Staff member heard Morgans' Words and took two more steps forward, lowering his voice and said, "I have Something I want to tell you in private."
"Hmm? If it's a question related to News, just go to your editor-in-chief. This kind of overstepping behavior is not welcome in my Newspaper Company."
Morgans waved his Wing at the Staff member in front of him with great dissatisfaction. Obviously, People who bypassed their leaders to report to bigger leaders are unpopular everywhere.
"But this question cannot be solved by the editor-in-chief, only you can solve it."
The Staff member's Tone suddenly turned cold, and when he looked up at Morgans, his Eyes were filled with coldness.
Morgans' Gaze met the Staff member's cold Eyes, and his heart suddenly shook. Then he saw the Staff member directly take out a Gun from his Waist.
"Morgans, this incident must not be made public!"
While pointing the Gun at Morgans, the Staff member said coldly. Obviously, the World Government did not want to see Things that would damage their prestige happen again.
"You… another CP Member? You Cipher Pol really can't get over me!!"
Morgans quickly reacted, and at the same time thought of the Headquarters that was attacked last time, he was immediately shocked and angry.
"But do you think I will fall into the same trap twice?"
As he said this, a trace of cunning flashed in Morgans' Eyes.
Realizing that Something was wrong, the CP Member immediately chose to shoot without hesitation. In any case, he had to complete his Mission. As for Morgans' life or death, it was not important.
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
Two Sounds, one before the other, rang out. Then, a Figure appeared In front of Morgans, directly blocking the Bullet shot by the CP Member.
Realizing that Something was wrong, the CP Member immediately wanted to retreat, but Morgans obviously would not let him get his wish.
"Do it!"
Along with Morgans' angry shout, another Figure sprang out from the side and directly pointed a Finger at the CP Member's Spine on his Back. As the Finger was withdrawn, a Blood Flower that kept getting bigger and bigger suddenly appeared on the back of the CP Undercover Agent's clothes.
Along with a muffled Sound, the CP Undercover Agent groaned, and then weakly collapsed to the floor.
Obviously, the Strike just now completely broke his Spine, causing him to lose his Action Ability.
The Gunshot immediately alarmed the busy crowd. Everyone stopped their work and looked in shock at Morgans and the CP Undercover Agent who had lost his Action Ability on the ground.
"President?!"
"What happened?!"
Everything just now happened so suddenly that everyone did not react for a while.
"It's nothing, just some small Things. You continue to work. Tomorrow's News is very important, and there must be no problems!"
Morgans signaled to the Staff to focus on their work at hand, and then came to the CP Undercover Agent, looking down at him with cold Eyes.
As Morgans came In front, the CP Undercover Agent who had lost his Action Ability struggled to raise his head and looked at Morgans who was ignoring him.
"Morgans, you… and the World Economy Newspaper Company… do you really want to be Enemies with… the World… World Government? Have you… considered the consequences…"
The CP Undercover Agent said intermittently.
"Fool, what do you mean by being Enemies with the World Government… With you attacking me one after another, do you still expect me to believe in the World Government?"
Morgans looked coldly at the CP Undercover Agent lying on the ground unable to move, and said in a cold Tone.
It could be said that if he hadn't specially hired experts this time, Something might have really happened.
As an Existence that can send Newspapers all over the World, Morgans is the well-deserved Intelligence King. This is also the Reason why he can occupy a Place among the many Underworld Forces.
Moreover, based on the sales volume of each Newspaper and the bribes from those who do not want to be on the News, the Wealth accumulated by Morgans is also quite terrifying. Otherwise, he would not be able to afford the Intelligence Network that is almost all over the World.
So after realizing that the World Government would Attack him, Morgans also strengthened his Guard without hesitation.
Looking at the CP Undercover Agent with a Face that said 'you are finished', Morgans said firmly:
"Although I am a money-grubber, don't forget that I am a Journalist! Remember this, the content that should be published in the Newspaper can only be decided by me!!! I am News King Morgans!!!"
"You…!!!"
The CP Undercover Agent widened his Eyes, his expression full of disbelief, as if he could not believe that Morgans dared to Resistance the Will of the World Government.
Bang—!
Gunshot rang out, and Blood Flower bloomed.
A Bullet Hole appeared in the CP Undercover Agent's Forehead, his expression still full of disbelief.
"I have a premonition that this is a great Era that is about to come that has never happened before… The World Order is likely to undergo earth-shattering changes because of this. How could I, Morgans, be absent from this magnificent Era!!!"
Morgans casually threw the Pistol onto the CP Undercover Agent's Corpse, and raised his Wing and said zealously.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 424 Aftershock
The next day, early morning.
Following batches of Newspaper Delivery Seagulls taking flight from News Economic Company branches in Various Locations Worldwide, copies of newspapers carrying the latest News were sent to Various Locations Worldwide.
The World Government and Marine Headquarters launched a Buster Call to attack the West Blue Archaeological Holy Land Ohara. Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals Aokiji and Fujitora, along with several Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals and thousands of Elite Marines, were ambushed in West Blue Ohara by the New World Great Pirate Nicholas, resulting in the Buster Call's complete defeat.
In addition to this, the Ohara Evacuation Ship, for which the World Government had originally agreed not to pursue responsibility, was also secretly sunk by the World Government.
On the same day, in order to conceal the Ohara incident, the World Government dispatched a Cipher Pol Spy, an Undercover Agent within the World Economy News Company, to assassinate Morgans, the president of the World Economy News Company, attempting to take over the World Economy News Company through assassination.
The newspapers, which published these two major events, spread throughout the Whole world almost instantly thanks to the efforts of Newspaper Delivery Seagulls located in Various Locations Worldwide, causing astonishment to everyone who saw the newspapers in Various Locations Worldwide.
"Impossible, this must be a joke. How could the World Government attack an Evacuation Ship carrying Commoner..."
"That's right, this must be Morgans trying to smear the World Government. And the appearance of a heinous Great Pirate like Nicholas in West Blue Ohara also shows that the Scholars of Ohara are indeed researching historical taboos, just as the World Government said, trying to revive a terrifying Weapon capable of destroying the World!"
"That's right, it's outrageous! Those ungrateful bastards, if it weren't for the World Government and the Navy, they would have been killed by those brutal Pirates long ago!"
Some people who have not witnessed the cruel Aspect of the World and the ugly Aspect of the World Government obviously do not want to believe that the World Government would do such a Thing. After all, they live quite well under the Protection of the World Government and belong to the beneficiaries, so they naturally tend to side with the World Government.
"Heh, that's really the World Government's style. But have those Scholars in Ohara really discovered Things that could shake the World Government's Rule? Otherwise, why would the World Government choose to launch a Buster Call on Ohara?
Moreover..."
Saying this, many People turned their Gaze to the bolded names and Nicholas's Photo on the newspaper.
If Ohara, which could make a New World Great Pirate willing to go and help resist the Buster Call, had no Secret, who would believe it?
…
"First, Mary Geoise on the Red Line was attacked. Then, Pirate King Roger led the Roger Pirates with the Strength of one crew, sinking Justice Island, which represents the World Government's Judgment institution, forever into the whirlpool below Justice Island. Now, only a little remnant of the Justice Island Gate remains on the Island of Night.
Then, Admiral Zephyr directly defected with a large number of Marine Headquarters Elites to the New World and is rumored to have established some Neo Marines. The North Blue is also in chaos due to Germa, Kaido's Beasts Pirates, the Navy, as well as Sea Rogues and many guys trying to find the Float-Float Fruit to become the next Golden Lion.
Now, the Buster Call, which represents the World Government's Majesty, has also been shattered by Nicholas. Alas, this World is becoming more and more chaotic.
I wonder how many innocent People will die in this Disturbance."
In Various Locations Worldwide, wherever there are People, they are all discussing animatedly.
"Even Holy Land Mary Geoise and Justice Island, such heavily guarded Places, have been attacked by Pirates. Is there any Safe Place in this World?"
Some Person said worriedly, "If the World Government and the Navy can't even guarantee that we won't be attacked by Pirates, then what's the Significance of us paying so much 'Celestial Tribute'? Is it really just for those Swine to Enjoy?"
"Yeah..."
"It's foreseeable that the failure of this Buster Call won't cause too serious a loss in the Navy's Combat Power, but it's a considerable Blow to the prestige of the Navy and the World Government. If that's the case, maybe many Pirates will have unwanted Thoughts..."
"How about we try to organize some manpower to protect our Town? After all, our economy here is quite good. Although there is a Marine Branch stationed on the Island, with the Navy's prestige damaged, it's inevitable that Pirates will have Ideas again."
"That's right, I think that Suggestion is good."
Many People in the Tavern immediately echoed, obviously thinking that prevention is better than having no Resistance when Pirates arrive.
Just thinking about the doomsday-like scenes on the newspaper of Pirates breaking through defenses and then rushing into Towns to burn, kill, and loot, they felt a chill instantly run through their limbs.
It can be said that on the Grand Line, once the Navy weakens, the impact on the public order of Various Locations Worldwide is undoubtedly huge.
Many Pirates who were originally afraid of the Navy will inevitably want to jump out and test the waters. Towns they once dared not attack might also become targets. After all, Pirates are Sea Rogues who live by burning, killing, and looting.
And in this situation, those who suffer first are often Ordinary People on the Grand Line who have no Resistance.
After all, there are some Monsters among Pirates who are far beyond Normal People. It's not like the Thing of a powerful Pirate easily Slaughtering an Ordinary People Town has never happened.
…
New World, an Unknown Sea Area.
A burly Man with Sunglasses, wearing a black Cloak and having short purple hair, was holding a newspaper on the Deck.
"The Buster Call failed, huh? But the act of attacking unarmed Civilians is no different from those scumbags on the Grand Line. The World Government is indeed corrupt."
Zephyr suddenly clenched his Palm and tightly gripped the newspaper in his Hand.
"Teacher Zephyr, we've spotted a Pirate Ship in our one o'clock direction! Judging by the Logo on the Pirate Flag, it's Golden Lion Second!"
Before long, a Pirate Ship appeared in the one o'clock direction of the Warship, immediately attracting the attention of everyone on the Warship.
The other side seemed to have also discovered them and was heading straight towards them.
"Mr. Zephyr! Enemy spotted, they are coming towards us!"
The messenger immediately said after observing the Movement of the enemy Pirate Ship.
Facing this News, no one on the Ship showed Nervousness. After all, they could be said to be Elites among Elites. Back then, they had followed Zephyr to face various Great Pirates in the World. They had even fought against Golden Lion's Flying Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates, and Roger Pirates.
There are only a few Pirate Crews in the New World that could make them nervous, but the so-called Golden Lion Second is definitely not among them.
Zephyr heard this and stretched out his Hand to the side. Shuzo, who was standing beside Zephyr, immediately handed the Telescope in his Hand to Zephyr.
He picked up the Telescope and looked in the direction reported by the messenger.
Soon, everything on that Pirate Ship was clearly visible to him.
"Only two People, but that Person..."
When he clearly saw the Person standing on the Ship's Bow of the opposing Ship, Zephyr couldn't help but be a little stunned.
On the Ship's Bow, the Person standing was very tall, it could be said that he completely had the Characteristic of the Giant Race, but what was even stranger was that he saw the Shadow of an Acquaintance on that guy.
A crescent-shaped Beard like Whitebeard, holding a huge Naginata, golden hair, plus the Characteristic of the Giant Race, it was simply a replica of Whitebeard.
Moreover, the Aura emanating from Golden Lion Second standing on the Ship's Bow also made Zephyr frown.
"This guy..."
Zephyr looked at Golden Lion Second and murmured, he was a little puzzled, this guy is clearly very similar to Whitebeard, why is he called Golden Lion Second?
But no matter what the other party is called, the Aura emanating from his body still made him take him seriously.
On this Sea, there is never a lack of Monsters. Perhaps a newcomer at Sea with no fame one moment will give you a big Surprise the next.

Chapter 425 Mr. Jiraiya, Need Help?
However, as the distance between the two Ships got closer and closer.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a powerful Slash was launched from the Ship's Bow on the opposite side. It expanded continuously in the Sky, and at this moment, the Grand Line seemed to be cut into a huge Chasm by the terrifying Slash.
The ordinary Soldiers on the Warship saw this Scene and immediately looked at Zephyr on the Deck.
For them, on this Grand Line, Ships were their second Life. Once they lost their Ships on the vast Grand Line, unless they were extremely lucky and happened to encounter passing Ships, it would basically be a certain death.
"Mr. Zephyr!!"
Without the Marines needing to speak, Zephyr had already noticed when the opponent launched the Slash.
When that powerful Slash was about to hit the Warship in an instant, a loud bang was heard. Zephyr directly stepped on the Deck, his burly Body soared into the Sky, and at the same time, purple-black Armament Haki quickly rose from his Fist and covered his entire right Arm.
Then, a terrifyingly powerful Fist directly smashed the huge Slash into pieces.
The Aftershock of the Fist Wind even directly smashed a Deep Pit hundreds of meters wide and tens of meters deep into the Sea Surface.
The Energy contained in the Slash immediately lost its constraint, setting off a Gale beside the Warship, causing the clothes of the Marines on the Warship's Deck to flutter loudly.
"Prepare for Cannon Fire!"
Facing the Aftershock of the Explosion and the large amount of Wave splashed up, the Marines on the Warship were methodically preparing for Battle.
Before engaging the enemy, weakening the enemy's living forces through Cannon Fire can be said to have become an Instinct engraved in the bones of these Marines.
"Fire!"
Boom boom boom!
Accompanied by bursts of Rumbling Sound, hundreds of Shells, carrying the Sobbing Sound of tearing through the Air, smashed directly towards the approaching Pirate Ship.
"Mama, they seem to want to sink us."
Weevil, standing at the Ship's Bow, looked at the Barrage flying towards them, scratched his head, and looked down at Bakkin standing beside him.
Facing the opponent's Cannon Fire, Bakkin's Complexion also changed involuntarily. She originally thought they had encountered nothing more than Cannon Fodder that could be easily dealt with, but she didn't expect the opponent's military discipline to be quite good, and they were able to block her good Son's Slash. The opponent was probably not Simple.
However, out of confidence in her most outstanding Work, Bakkin quickly issued an Order.
"You stupid Son, quickly intercept those Shells, or do you want Mama and me to swim in the Sea together?!"
Bakkin took her Cane and forcefully tapped Weevil's calf, saying.
"Ah, it hurts, Mama, don't hit me, I know."
Although with Bakkin's Power, such an Attack wouldn't even be a tickle to a Monster like Weevil, Weevil acted as if it was very painful.
"Then quickly knock those Shells away, otherwise our Ship will be sunk!"
Bakkin pointed at the Shells in the Sky with her Cane and said.
"It's all you Weapons! That made Mama angry! Ahhhhh!"
Looking at the distant Warship and the Shells rapidly approaching in the Sky, Weevil roared angrily, obviously blaming everything on Zephyr and his group.
Then, watching the Shells getting closer and closer, Weevil held the Naginata in both hands, twisted his waist, turned sideways, and swung the Naginata in his hands fiercely towards the Shells in the Sky.
Accompanied by the Sound of Air being smashed, all the Shells that flew in front of the Ship were detonated. The Gunsmoke from the Shell Explosion formed a smoke screen hundreds of meters long and tens of meters wide in the Sky above the Ship.
Seeing the Power Weevil displayed, Zephyr was also a little surprised. The opponent's Physical Strength alone was already comparable to those Weapons he had fought before.
"Everyone stay on the Ship, I'll go meet this Pirate!"
Saying this, Zephyr used Moon Walk, intending to place the Battlefield on the opponent's Ship.
After all, in a Battle on the Grand Line, it's better to place it on the opponent's Ship.
If it were placed on their own Ship, even if they won, the Ship would be severely damaged. Facing the harsh environment of the New World, navigating with a damaged Ship would undoubtedly be toying with the Lives of everyone on board.
As for losing, without a Ship, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape, and it could even be said that they would easily be wiped out.
Just as Zephyr finished explaining things, Weevil's huge Body had already jumped directly from the Ship, leaping towards the Warship. While in the Sky, he raised the Naginata in his hand and then slashed down fiercely at Zephyr, who was floating in the Air.
"Buzz!"
Facing the whistling Attack, Zephyr's Complexion changed. He immediately crossed his Arms in front of him, and Armament Haki instantly covered his Arms.
"Bang!"
The Naginata, wrapped in violent Power, directly slashed onto Zephyr's Arms. The enormous Power directly knocked Zephyr heavily out of the Sky, landing on the Deck.
The enormous Power even caused white Slash Marks to appear on Zephyr's Arms, which were covered in Armament Color.
"Teacher!" "Mr. Zephyr!"
The Marines on the Warship saw Zephyr being shot down from the Sky and couldn't help but change color, shouting worriedly.
They were not newbies who had just joined the Navy, so they naturally knew the power of this Strike.
Zephyr's Complexion was gloomy. He retracted his Arms and looked solemnly at Weevil, who had landed on the Deck, and Bakkin, who was grabbing his pigtail and lying on his Shoulder.
"I'm fine! The Enemy is not Simple, protect yourselves!"
Zephyr shouted in a deep voice, then focused all his attention on Weevil, who looked somewhat idiotic on the opposite side.
"Hee hee hee hee, isn't this former Navy Admiral Zephyr? I didn't expect you, known as the Admiral who doesn't kill, to actually choose to betray the Navy. How about it, do you want to cooperate with me? If we join forces, who in the New World would be our Opponent?"
After jumping down from Weevil's Shoulder, Bakkin leaned on her Cane and extended an invitation to Zephyr.
For Bakkin, once she could have Zephyr, this powerful Combat Power, join, then her Ambition would be easier to realize.
"How could I possibly cooperate with mere Pirates!"
Zephyr said in a deep voice. Although he had defected from the Navy, he still had his own Justice. As for Pirates, after his wife and children were killed by those Weapons, Zephyr's Goal was to eliminate all Pirates on this Grand Line.
To make sure there are no Pirates on this Grand Line anymore!!!
Watching Bakkin's Negotiation with Zephyr fail, Weevil, holding the Naginata, also grinned widely.
"Woo la la la la, I heard you were originally a Navy Admiral. They all say you are very strong, even able to fight Pops without falling behind. If I kill you, wouldn't it prove that I, this Son, am even more outstanding than Pops!"
Weevil said some strange Words, but Zephyr could roughly understand.
He was slightly stunned, feeling that the opponent's IQ might be a bit problematic.
What did he take Navy Admiral for? Although he was getting old now and his Strength was starting to decline, it didn't mean he was a seventy or eighty-year-old Old Man!!!
"It seems that not having truly taken action for a long time has made this Grand Line forget the Title of 'Black Arm' Zephyr!"
Zephyr roared angrily, and then Armament Haki swept over his Arms.
The powerful Body, combined with the incomparably powerful Armament Color enhancement, caused his Arms to swell several times in size at this moment. Muscles bulged, full of violent beauty.
Black Arm Zephyr!
"Bang!"
The next moment, the Naginata and Fist collided together. The Warship under their feet shook violently at this moment, the draft suddenly deepened by several meters, and even the Deck creaked.
Many Marines on the Deck were even a little unsteady on their feet under this Strike.
"Damn it, the Ship can't withstand such enormous Power! We have to make a quick decision."
Zephyr's Complexion was ugly. He obviously understood that under his Full Power battle with that Weapon, the Ship underfoot could not withstand it for long.
At this time, Weevil's Sword slashed up again.
Zephyr instantly relied on Paper Art to dodge Weevil's Slash, then suddenly activated Shave and came to Weevil's In front. Then, a Fist enhanced with Armament Haki and Iron Body Power directly punched Weevil's Chest.
"Arm Armament - Nether Peak!"
A Fist like a Mountain Peak heavily smashed into Weevil's Body, sending him flying out and crashing into the Warship's Mast.
"Crack!"
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, I'm going to kill you!"
The Mast broke, and Weevil's pig-like scream came.
Facing Weevil's scream, Zephyr remained unmoved, his Eyes extremely cold.
Soon Weevil rushed towards Zephyr again, holding the Naginata. However, facing Zephyr, who was not hindered, proficient in Navy Six Forms and Combat Skills, possessing powerful Haki, and whose Strength had only just begun to decline and was not yet as weak as later, Weevil couldn't withstand it at all. If it weren't for his extraordinary Physical Prowess, he would probably have been directly hammered to death by Zephyr.
"If this continues, the situation is not good!"
Watching Weevil being suppressed and even faintly beaten by Zephyr, Bakkin, who had been parrying the surrounding Navy's Attack, suddenly became anxious.
Just then, Bakkin's peripheral vision glanced into the distance, and suddenly her Body trembled, her Pupil contracted.
And the Person responsible for observation on the Warship also noticed the Abnormality.
"In the Sky, someone else is coming!"
"What?"
Many Marines quickly turned their heads and looked towards the Sky.
A rapidly approaching figure in the Sky came into view.
"It's Nicholas!!!"
When they clearly saw who it was, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out on the Warship. Even Zephyr, who was currently educating Weevil, spared a bit of his attention.
Immediately following, in a flash of Lightning Light, he arrived on the Warship's Mast.
Rumble!
Only then did the Thunder Sound reach everyone's ears.
"Hey, Mr. Jiraiya, Need Help?"
