Meanwhile, in the Flower Capital, Kurozumi Orochi, standing in the Castle Tower, looked down at Ashura Doji and the group of Samurai below, who were exuding a heart-palpitating and oppressive aura, and was already scared out of his wits.
Although Wano Country has been closed off for many years, making the common people at the bottom of Wano Country as ignorant as frogs in a well, Kurozumi Orochi is different. Not to mention the Intelligence Network of the Beasts Pirates, his private transactions with the World Government also allowed Kurozumi Orochi to know a lot of intelligence about the Grand Line.
When he received the intelligence that the Whitebeard Pirates were heading towards Wano Country, Kurozumi Orochi said he wasn't worried, "I have Kaido as my trump card in front, eh, Whitebeard can't hit me." Then Whitebeard hammered Kaido.
Kurozumi Orochi said he was still not worried, "Outside my Flower Capital, there are still Nicholas's territories of Udon and White Dance. If Whitebeard wants to hit me, he has to take down these two places first, eh, still not worried." Then Whitebeard didn't go to White Dance, but instead detoured to Kuri, which made Kurozumi Orochi dumbfounded, and what made him even more dumbfounded was the sudden appearance of Ashura Doji leading those underlings of Hyougoro and Samurai Remnant.
Who is Ashura Doji? He was the number one bastard in Wano Country besides Kozuki Oden, and even once led a group of underlings to occupy Kuri. You must know that Kuri is not a small place, it almost occupies one-sixth of the territory of Wano Country. And in terms of military force, only Kozuki Oden at that time could overwhelm him, and even later Kaido wanted to recruit him.
Ashura Doji's burly figure, falling into the eyes of a group of Samurai hired by Orochi, was like a one-armed Asura, making them dumbfounded. At this time, they regretted it deeply. It was obvious that Orochi's side at this time did not have the existence to contend with Ashura Doji. Once a war starts, it is destined to be a heavy casualty.
Above the Castle Tower rooftop. The Orochi Oniwabanshu, representing the strongest combat power under Orochi's Forces, also frowned. Although they were not too afraid of Ashura Doji, there was no doubt that if the two sides went to war, they would definitely suffer casualties, and they might not even be able to kill Ashura Doji.
"Hey, hey!!! Ashura Doji, do you want to betray the country? I am the Shogun of Wano Country…!!!" Although Kurozumi Orochi was quite frightened at this time, he still looked at Ashura Doji sternly and loudly questioned. In Kurozumi Orochi's view, many people in Wano Country had too much servility, just like those Samurai who once surrendered to the Kozuki Family, after he murdered Kozuki Sukiyaki and usurped the Shogun Position.
Although many Samurai also doubted the legitimacy, but facing his name as Shogun, those weapon still chose to surrender. A strong desire to survive made Kurozumi Orochi's not-so-smart head spin rapidly, and even showed signs of overheating. No matter what method, his life must not end at this moment. Although he had taken revenge on the Kozuki Family, he enjoyed the pleasure brought by the supreme right. How could he be willing to give it up like this!
"Zheng!" Suddenly, the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed rang out. "Eh?!" Orochi's line of sight suddenly reversed, and he looked in astonishment at the headless body standing there that was somewhat familiar. For a moment, he didn't react. "Shogun!!!" The sudden change made the complexion of the Oniwabanshu guarding Orochi's side suddenly change. They suddenly looked at Ashura Doji standing in the distance, holding a sword in one hand. The slash just now came from Ashura Doji's hand. It's just that slash was so fast that it exceeded their imagination, so that before they could react, Orochi's head was directly beheaded by the sword aura that shot out.
The Samurai who were distributed around the Castle Tower and waited in battle formation were even more panicked when they saw their own Shogun being beheaded with one slash. Some people even saw that the situation was not good and began to take the opportunity to plunder some wealth and sneak away. At this moment, Orochi's neck squirmed for a while, and then a new head grew out. "Bas-bastard… how dare, how dare… attack me!" It can be said that although this was not the first time, the feel of being beheaded still hurt so much that layers of fine sweat oozed from Orochi's face, and he cursed while gnashing his teeth.
Orochi looked ferocious and looked at Ashura Doji below and the weapon resting around him. Then he looked at the Oniwabanshu and Samurai beside him, and directly issued an order. "Quickly let the people below take action!!! Tear those damned weapon into pieces for me!" "Yes!" Soon, a servant beside Orochi quickly took out an Amplifying Den Den Mushi and shouted loudly: "Shogun Orochi has issued an order, immediately annihilate the Enemy!!!"
Through the sound of the Amplifying Den Den Mushi, this order resounded throughout the entire Castle Tower in an instant. Soon, dense gun sounds came from below. It was Kurozumi Orochi's subordinates who took action.
Although Udon was occupied by Nicholas, Kurozumi Orochi and the Beasts Pirates re-established Weapon Factory in other occupied villages of Wano Country. So they are not short of weapon. Thousands of firearms pulled the trigger together, and the Lead Bullet shot from the gun barrel intertwined in the sky to form a Barrage full of dangerous aura, and in an instant, it hit Ashura Doji and others like raindrops.
"Take action!" Watching the dense Barrage, Ashura Doji jumped into the sky without hesitation and swung slash after slash towards the flying Lead Bullet, while the other Samurai each showed their method to hit the flying Lead Bullet. Clang clang clang…!!! Amidst the sparks, countless Lead Bullet were knocked away. But manpower is limited after all, and it is still cold weapon against hot weapon. Unless it is as strengthful as Ashura Doji, otherwise a negligence will result in injury.
And how many people are there like Ashura Doji? So after only a few waves of bullet rain, hundreds of corpse fell around Ashura Doji and others. The Samurai whose life was taken by Lead Bullet, their bodies blood dotted the ground with blood flowers.
At the same time. Only to hear a rumble. Architecture collapsed, dust cloud filled the air. It turned out that Ashura took advantage of the chaos and directly split open the outer Wall of the Castle Tower with a slash. Immediately, the crowd who could only passively be beaten before immediately poured in.
Inside the Castle Tower, the Samurai under Orochi's Forces looked around at the ground stained red with blood, and the corpse scattered everywhere, and their body finally couldn't stop trembling. They could not defeat that man who was like Asura. The terror aura and the insurmountable gap in strength made the survivors completely lose their fighting spirit.
"Escape…" The surviving Samurai no longer cared about the employment relationship with Orochi. Without any hesitation, they turned around and ran towards the outside of the Castle Tower. "Orochi, prepare for resolve!" Ashura Doji, whose whole body was covered in blood, looked at Orochi, who was protected in the middle by the Oniwabanshu, with a killing intent on his face, and held a long sword.
"Kill him for me!" "..." Hearing Orochi's order, the Oniwabanshu just silently watched Shutenmaru, who was exuding a terror aura like Asura all over his body. Intuition told them… at this time, they were facing this man whose aura had reached its peak. If they were not careful, they would be killed in seconds in an instant. The best method was to wait for his aura to disappear before it was the best opportunity to attack.
Shua shua——! Sonic boom sounded. I saw the figure of the Oniwabanshu in front of Orochi turn into black shadows. However. The Oniwabanshu who turned into black shadows did not launch an attack towards Shutenmaru, but instead tacitly fled in all directions. "???" Watching the fleeing Oniwabanshu, Orochi was immediately stunned, and then the fire of anger of betrayal burned fiercely. "You weapon dare to betray this Shogun…!!!"
Orochi shouted angrily, and then without hesitation used the ability of the Mythical Zoan to transform into a huge and ferocious Eight-Headed Serpent. Seven huge Snake Head were shaking constantly in the sky, and at the neck without a Snake Head, there was a clearly visible slash mark. If time was sufficient, Orochi could completely regrow his head, but the premise was that he could get enough time. "Oh? So it's such an ugly Monster." Ashura Doji looked at Kurozumi Orochi, who had transformed into the Eight-Headed Serpent Form, and said tauntly.
At this moment, a ferocious Dragon Head directly smashed through the outer Wall of the Castle Tower and appeared beside Kurozumi Orochi and Shutenmaru. "Gale Wind!" The ferocious Dragon Head opened wide, and instantly released Wind Blade after Wind Blade, flying towards Ashura Doji. The number of Wind Blade was too large, completely blocking any space that could be dodged. And the speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it came to Shutenmaru's front. Shutenmaru, who only had one arm, reluctantly slashed the first few Wind Blade to the side, but this also broke his rhythm. The Wind Blade that followed, mercilessly slashed on Shutenmaru's body. Chi! The severed arm holding the Long Sword fell to the ground in despair, and a lot of blood splashed into the sky. Shutenmaru's head flying in the sky looked at his form that was cut into pieces in astonishment, and the splashed blood stained his vision red. In the blood, Shutenmaru's head rolled a few times, and glared angrily at the ferocious Dragon Head. (Ashura Doji offline…)

Chapter 342 Truly Wonderful Weather
In this operation where the Revolutionary Army invades Mary Geoise, only three people will truly participate:
Dorag, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and Karas, the North Army Commander, and Morley, the West Army Commander, both of whom are among the Revolutionary Army's Four Great Commanders.
Among them, Karas will be responsible for reconnaissance, while West Army Commander Morley will be responsible for leading Urouge and Tiger Jinbe and other Fishman to infiltrate Mary Geoise.
After all, the Push-Push Fruit is difficult to detect to some extent.
As for Ivankov, the queen of the Kamabakka Kingdom, she is responsible for logistics and evacuation support.
It can be said that there are fewer people coming from the Revolutionary Army, but they are all experts of the Revolutionary Army.
"Depart tomorrow morning, the action time will be synchronized with Roger's Execution time."
"I have no problem with that."
Dorag expressed no objection.
For the time Nicholas chose, they don't have to consider the Navy's strength at all.
The next day.
The sunlight in the early morning pierced through the sea fog.
Today will be the big day of Roger's Execution. Two days ago, Kong and other Navy high-level officials had secretly arrived at Loguetown.
With the arrival of the Execution day, the atmosphere of the entire Loguetown did not become lively, but instead, the atmosphere of the entire Loguetown became a little suffocating and tense.
Many people who entered Loguetown seemed to be able to smell the tense flavor filling the air even when they breathed.
Elite Navy Soldier patrolled constantly from morning to night, and monitoring Den Den Mushi were almost all over every Street.
Time passed slowly, but the serious atmosphere in Loguetown became more and more solemn.
No one dared to guarantee that no Accident would happen during Roger's Execution.
Warship almost all left the Port and wandered continuously in the Sea Area near the Coast to ensure that no Accidents would occur in this Execution.
"Loguetown is getting more and more lively!"
Kuzan, hidden in the dark, muttered to himself as he looked at the dense crowd in the Square in front of the Execution Platform.
In other Places, the Navy's high-end Combat Power is also vigilantly watching the movements of the entire Loguetown.
The Order issued by the entire World Government and the Navy high-level officials is to ensure that Roger's Execution goes smoothly without any Accidents!
The priority of this Order surpasses everything, even higher than encircling and suppressing the Pirate in Loguetown at this time.
The elites in the Navy are also very clear about the significance of this move by the high-level officials.
The Ports around Loguetown and the nearby Sea Area seem to be heavily guarded, but in fact, these People are just Smoke Bomb, and the real elites are all hidden in Loguetown at this time.
Execution Roger is a deterrent to Pirates all over the World!
Killing the chicken to warn the monkeys!
Under such circumstances, the Navy actually deliberately let some Pirate enter, because they need these Pirate to spread the News among the Pirates.
At this time, in a gorgeous Room not far from the Execution Plaza in Loguetown.
"Hawkeye and Tyrant Kuma, I didn't expect you to choose to join the Royal Shichibukai."
Crocodile slowly showed a Smile at the Corner of Mouth, and his Eyes looking at Mihawk and Bear sitting aside became deep.
Even he felt that these two guys in front of him were particularly troublesome.
"Crocodile, didn't you also choose to join the Royal Shichibukai? Joining the Royal Shichibukai is just more in line with our Benefit."
Bear said lightly while flipping through the Books in his hand.
"Hahaha, indeed, it's all for Profit."
Crocodile showed a Smile.
Nowadays, most of those who have arrived in Loguetown are small Pirate or guys with some Reputation, but the Navy high-level officials are actually not interested in them.
These People may become Big Shot who can influence the direction of the Sea in the future, but their Strength at this moment really makes it difficult for the Navy to have any intention of targeting them.
Therefore, the Navy high-level officials only Order to increase surveillance of this situation, as long as these People do not cause Things, let them go.
"At the critical moment, everything is based on ensuring Roger's Execution as the top priority!"
Kong looked at the Navy high-level officials in the Conference Room and issued a serious Order.
Time continued to pass, and there was less than an hour left before Roger's Execution time.
At this moment, Garp came to the Prison where Roger was held again and sat down in front of Roger again.
To his surprise, someone had arrived earlier than him.
"Garp, you're here too?"
At this time, Roger's Sound was a little hoarse, because the Disease had become worse due to the interruption of Medicine. Even if the Navy had not tortured him in order to let him persist until the Execution, but instead cared for him meticulously, he would have been unable to do it long ago.
But even so, because of the torment of Disease, his Complexion was still full of fatigue, and his originally bright Eyes were now covered with Blood Mark.
Garp turned his head and nodded to Sengoku who had arrived earlier.
"Time is almost up, I'm here to see you off for the last journey."
Garp said in a deep voice, then took out Fine Wine and Delicious Food from the basket he carried aside.
"Garp, the Doctor said Roger can't drink Wine."
Sengoku, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground and closing his Eyes to rest, opened his Eyes and looked at Garp.
"Hey, Sengoku, this guy is dying soon, he can't even have a farewell Wine, let alone everyone is an Old Friend."
Garp said somewhat exaggeratedly.
Hearing Garp's Words, Sengoku couldn't say anything more and could only acquiesce.
"Before leaving, it's not bad to have you two Old Friend to see me off."
Roger said looking at Garp and Sengoku. The three of them can be said to have loved and killed each other for most of their Life. They are not Friend but better than Friend.
Garp silently poured Wine, while Sengoku was also silent.
Except for the sound of Wine Bowl clashing and drinking Wine, there was no Sound in the Prison. Thousands of Words are all in the Wine.
"Thank you for your final company, I think I should go!"
When he saw behind Garp and Sengoku, a team of Execution troops with solemn Faces and wearing special Uniform, Roger said freely and easily.
Roger's hands and feet were full of Shackles, and there were heavy Iron Ball on the Shackles between his feet.
Garp stared at Roger who was slowly getting up, moved his Mouth, seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't speak, just nodded solemnly.
Sengoku got up and nodded to the Soldier behind him.
Soon the Soldiers stepped forward, cautiously opened the Prison door, and then Roger walked out slowly.
"Farewell, Roger!"
Sengoku said solemnly with solemn Eyes.
"Thank you!"
After speaking, Roger walked towards the outside of the Prison under the **** of the Soldiers.
Garp and Sengoku walked on both sides of Roger. At this moment, Roger did not give People the Feel of Death approaching, but showed endless ease and expectation.
It seemed that what he was about to face was not Death, but new Life!
Walking out of the dark Prison, Sunlight spilled down, causing Roger to squint his Eyes involuntarily.
He raised his head and looked at the Sky.
The blue Sky was cloudless, and the Sunlight fell from the Sky, making People feel warm. Seagull were flying and chirping over the Town, and the gentle Sea Breeze came from the Sea and gently brushed his Face. The Air was full of salty Flavor.
"Truly wonderful weather!"
(End of chapter)
Chapter 343 The Man Who Started an Era
At this time, in the Town Central Square of Loguetown, crowds surged, and as far as the eye could see, there was no end in sight.
Even the Street leading to the center of the Square was completely congested and impassable at this moment.
The original whispers of the people gathered together into a huge noise, appearing extremely chaotic, just like hundreds of millions of flies buzzing incessantly, making people feel irritable and disturbed.
Facing such a situation, the Navy could only hold their ground around the Execution Platform, ensuring that the area within a hundred meters of the Execution Platform became an absolute no-go zone.
There were just too many people, but it was understandable. After all, being able to witness the Curtain Call of a Legend on the Grand Line, not many people could refuse such a thing.
Soon Roger was escorted by Soldiers from Central Avenue towards the location of the Execution Platform. On Roger's sides were Navy Admiral Sengoku and Navy Hero Garp.
Before long, under the escort of Execution Soldiers, Roger walked step by step towards the High Execution Platform.
At this time, Roger, looking at the dense crowd who had come to witness his Death, wore a Smile on his face, completely without a trace of Fear in the face of Death.
Clang clang! The sound of Shackles colliding echoed, causing sweat to continuously flow down the Foreheads of the two Executioners responsible for the Execution on the Execution Platform, perhaps because the weather was too hot, or perhaps because of the immense Pressure brought by executing the Pirate King.
"Inherited Will, the changing of the Era, people's Dreams, as long as people continue to pursue the Answer of Freedom, all of this will not stop."
Roger did not kneel on the Execution Platform like those guys who had been executed in the past, but instead directly sat down cross-legged.
In an instant, the crowd below became extremely excited, and countless voices drowned out Loguetown.
Even on the Navy Warship patrolling the Sea Area outside Loguetown responsible for Alert, the noisy sounds from Loguetown could be heard.
Countless flashes of light lit up at this moment, reporters from Various Locations Worldwide continuously pressed the Shutters in their hands, they wanted to capture the most perfect Photo of this event that would be recorded in history!
At the same time, the Public Execution of Roger was also being Live Broadcast to Various Locations Worldwide via Den Den Mushi.
At this moment, not only could the people on this Small Island in the East Blue see it, but the Whole world could also witness the Curtain Call of this Pirate King.
"Silence!" Navy Marshal Kong, standing on the Execution Platform, said loudly!
His voice instantly suppressed the noisy sounds of the crowd below, and his voice, like a loud bell, made everyone's ears ring as if muffled Thunder had exploded, and the chaotic scene instantly quieted down.
Standing on the Execution Platform, Kong slowly opened his mouth. "Today is the day of the Public Execution of Pirate King Gol D. Roger!"
"It is also to announce to the Whole world that any Existence that violates Justice! Will surely be subjected to the Sanction of Justice!"
His voice contained powerful Power, and at this moment, all the People who came to watch the Execution quietly raised their heads to look at the Man sitting cross-legged on the High Platform of the Execution.
"How much Time is left?" Kong turned his head and asked the Soldier behind him.
"Half a quarter of an hour!" Kong nodded, then said in a deep voice, "Pirate King Gol D. Roger, will be Publicly Executed in half a quarter of an hour!"
"Prepare for Execution!" The two Execution Soldiers behind Roger, holding Execution Blades and standing upright and serious, shouted loudly upon hearing this, "Yes!"
At this moment, Roger was sitting cross-legged there, his head lowered, his hair covering his Face, making it impossible for anyone to see his expression or guess what Roger was thinking at this moment.
As Time passed, tension, anticipation, excitement, unease, and various other Emotions permeated the Execution Square.
Soon, half a quarter of an hour had passed. A Navy Soldier whispered something to Kong, and Kong nodded upon hearing this, then turned around to face the crowd below the Execution Platform and said loudly.
"Noon has arrived! Prepare for Execution!" A short sentence, tugging at the hearts of everyone present.
Almost as soon as Kong's voice fell, a Strong Wind suddenly came from the Sea Surface, and instantly the Seagull Flags on the Architecture around the Square all fluttered violently at this moment.
On the Square, the Pirates hidden in the crowd all raised their heads and looked at Roger on the Execution Platform.
They wanted to know what the last Words of the Pirate King of an Era would be before Death, or whether Roger would reveal the Things he had obtained on the Final Island.
Suddenly, Sengoku looked at Roger, and he asked in a deep voice, "Gol D. Roger, do you have anything to say?"
This question caused Roger, who had been silent all along, to raise his head, which had been lowered.
Roger's Face was also revealed in front of everyone. But when they clearly saw Roger's Face, everyone below the Execution Platform couldn't help but be stunned.
"He's... smiling?" "Are you kidding me! He's about to die!" "This is really surprising, as expected of the Man who conquered the Grand Line." "World's Greatest Swordsman, I really wish I could Battle him!" "Fufufufu, is this Pirate King Roger? What a chilling Smile!"
And at this moment, the Man who ushered in the Great Pirate Era, issued his soul-stirring question.
"Hey, Pirate, King Roger, where did you hide all the Treasure you found!? Is it really placed in the Grand Line?! Did you really get it!? That legendary Secret Treasure!? That unique Secret Treasure 'ONE PIECE'!"
They saw that on the Execution Platform, the Smile on Roger's Face became even more radiant.
"Want my Treasure? If you want it, you can have it all, go find it! I've put everything there!"
His loud voice instantly spread throughout the entire Loguetown, and at the same time, it was also transmitted to every Corner of the Whole world through Live Broadcast.
At this moment, the World was silent, and faintly, the sound of Sea Waves surging on the Grand Line entered everyone's ears, as if celebrating the arrival of a new Era.
On the Square, it first fell into Silence, and then everyone's Emotions became excited and they shouted loudly.
Anyone familiar with Roger's name and deeds also showed unimaginable fervor at this moment.
And almost at the same time, a huge Storm suddenly descended without any warning.
"Fufufufu, what a crazy Man!" Doflamingo could no longer sit still at this moment, and came to the Balcony, looking at the still frenzied crowd below in the Heavy Rain, he seemed to have already seen a magnificent Era arriving.
Roger's Words were like seeds of Desire, which had already taken root in everyone's hearts, and it could be foreseen how great a Disturbance would be ushered in on the Grand Line as the News spread.
Everyone would go crazy for the Treasure left behind by the Pirate King.
"Quick! Quick! Execution!!" When Roger's Words fell, Kong's Complexion changed drastically, and he shouted sternly, seemingly worried that Roger would say even more shocking Words.
As Kong's Words fell, the Executioners standing on Roger's sides also raised their Execution Blades high and fiercely Thrust them down towards Roger's Chest.
"Bang bang!" Two gunshots rang out. Lead Bullets wrapped in Armament Haki, from the distant Sea Surface, quickly broke through the Air and directly hit the Foreheads of the two Executioners.
Fresh red Blood instantly stained the Execution Platform.
The moment the gunshots rang out, the Navy outside Loguetown responsible for scouting the enemy situation sounded the Alarm at the fastest Speed.
Instantly, the sharp Alarm broke through the voices of the frenzied crowd, echoing in the sky above the entire Loguetown.
"They're here!" Hearing the Alarm, the Elite Navy who were already prepared, all raised their heads to look at the legendary Ship sailing from afar.
Some Elite Navy who had participated in battles against the Roger Pirates before all showed strange expressions.
The sharp Alarm echoing endlessly in their ears, and the Ship famous on the Grand Line in the distance.
Made them unable to help but recall the Scene of battling them in the New World under the leadership of Navy Hero Garp and Admiral Sengoku.
Certain tragic Memory Images involuntarily surged into their hearts, bringing them a trace of Palpitation.
"Roger Pirates are here!" A huge voice quickly spread among the Warships.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 344 Red Port
"Is this Red Port..."
On the back of a giant whale, Nicholas looked up, admiring the incredibly massive port before his eyes.
"I heard there are two such massive ports on the Red Line, one in the New World and the other near Sabaody Archipelago."
"Yes."
Dorag also gazed at the massive port, saying, "These two ports can be said to have thousands of years of History. Coupled with the continuous expansion by the Celestial Dragons, they have become the magnificent sight they are today. The giant 'Elevator' responsible for traveling back and forth across the Red Line is located within the Port."
"Many people say that trade in Shambles is very developed, but those businessmen won't tell you that trade here is even more developed. It can even be said that wealth from the Four Seas gathers above the Red Line."
Dorag said indifferently.
Nicholas nodded in agreement. As the largest continent in the Pirate World and the Holy Land Mary Geoise intersecting with the Grand Line, it could indeed be called the center of the World.
"Jinbe, you guys prepare yourselves. There will be not only Fish-man and Mermaid Slaves, but also Slaves of many other Species, so we must control the Port."
"Don't worry, we've brought a lot of Elite this time. Before the Plan is completed, this place will definitely not fall!"
Jinbe said confidently.
"That's right, Nicholas boy, don't worry."
The people participating in this Action were Nicholas, Dorag, Morley, Karas, Ivankov, Tiger, Jinbe, Urouge, and thousands of Elite Ryugu Palace Sea God Army soldiers.
The Crows summoned by Karas will serve as Informant for everyone. After landing on the Red Line, we will also rely on his Crows to help set fires and cause Riot.
Nicholas, Dorag, and Tiger will enter Holy Land Mary Geoise.
As for the others, their Mission is to seize and control the Port.
...
Representatives from various places escorting Celestial Tribute also arrived at Red Port below the Red Line one after another.
Their journey was not very smooth, especially those from World Government Member State in the New World. Basically, more than half of the Fleet were attacked by Pirate and Outlaws.
After all, the New World has always been synonymous with lawlessness. It can be said that the name of the World Government has no Threat at all. What's more, Celestial Tribute is a considerable amount of Wealth. If successful, they can just disappear for a while and then come out to live a carefree Life.
As long as they don't court death by going to Islands controlled by the Navy and World Government, they can live a very comfortable Life.
As for failure, it doesn't matter. The World Government and Navy cannot possibly bother to find trouble with them in the vast Grand Line for such a small matter.
With the arrival of Ships one after another, Red Port also became bustling with Excitement.
These Representatives of World Government Member State who came from the New World will take the Celestial Tribute paid by their countries to Holy Land Mary Geoise!
Soon, World Government officials who had been waiting for a long Time at Red Port led these Allied Nation Representatives towards the rear of Red Port. There, there were Bubble Cable Car directly leading to the top of the Red Line.
Under countless Gaze, the teams from various Allied Nations boarded the Bubble Cable Car in an orderly manner.
Along with the Sound of cable Friction, the Bubble Cable Car pulled by huge Bubbles ascended upwards.
The People in Red Port all looked up at the Bubble Cable Car ascending upwards. Each Bubble Cable Car was loaded with a massive amount of Wealth.
No one noticed that on the Sea Surface, there were several Gaze quietly watching all of this.
"Now that the Celestial Tribute has been transported to the Red Line,"
"Then..."
Nicholas narrowed his Eyes and said jokingly, "Let's give them an even bigger Surprise when the Celestial Dragons are in Revelry! Let's start the Action, everyone. In this Action, if you sense that you cannot defeat the enemy, retreat immediately! After all, our Enemy is the World Government and Celestial Dragons who have ruled the World for eight hundred years!"
"Yeah!"
As Nicholas's Words fell, although everyone promised well, their Eyes flickered with strange luster.
After all, although there are many People on this Grand Line who are not afraid of the World Government and Celestial Dragons, they should be the first group of People after the Rocks Pirates to dare to draw their Sword against them!
A moment later.
A group of huge Crows carrying Karas and Fisher Tiger followed Dorag and Nicholas, flying towards the top of the Red Line.
Fortunately, there were not many People in this Action, and the Crows summoned by Karas only needed to carry him and Tiger.
Soon, the four successfully landed on the top of the Red Line.
The first thing that came into view was a green Forest and the magnificent Building Complex of Holy Land Mary Geoise in the distance.
"Is Mary Geoise in the center of that Forest?"
Tiger pointed to the magnificent Architecture in the Forest in the distance and couldn't help but ask.
He really couldn't imagine that one day he, a Fish-man, would personally come to the top of this World.
"Yes, that is Holy Land Mary Geoise of the Celestial Dragons, the top of this World."
Karas's somewhat low voice was transmitted through the Mask.
"Speaking of which, since it's a Surprise, then let's sneak in first."
"No problem."
After Dorag finished speaking, he looked at Karas and Fisher Tiger, "Karas, you and Tiger wait for our Signal. Once a Riot occurs, then you start Action at the fastest Speed. In addition, try to take the Bubble Cable Car Port as quickly as possible with the Slaves, and let as many escape as possible."
"Understood."
Karas nodded seriously.
Obviously, he also knew that Mary Geoise, which completely relied on Bubble Cable Car for entry and exit, even if the Slaves were liberated, their evacuation would be a big problem.
After all, the carrying capacity of the Bubble Cable Car is limited, and if they don't escape before Nicholas and the others retreat, then only death awaits them.
(Fisher Tiger caused a great disturbance in Mary Geoise back then, and there were definitely not a few Slaves who took the opportunity to escape, but in the end, apart from the Sun Pirates, the Hancock Sisters, a certain movie boss, and Kerla who were placed on an unknown Island, the number of People who escaped was definitely very few)
On the automatic Walkway outside Pangaea Castle in Mary Geoise.
"You've noticed it, haven't you, Nicholas?"
Dorag looked down at the automatic Walkway underfoot and asked.
"Of course, aren't you very puzzled that with the World Government's current Strength in Technology, Mechanization can be fully realized, why do they still use such primitive human power?"
Dorag looked at Nicholas in confusion, and then heard Nicholas continue, "In fact, in terms of comfort, mechanized automatic Walkway should be better, but stepping on that cold Machinery will not bring the pleasure of trampling on Life."
Nicholas looked at Pangaea Castle in the distance and said with emotion.
Dorag frowned, seemingly not understanding Nicholas's meaning.
"The pleasure of trampling on Life?"
Nicholas moved his Gaze away from the Gate of Pangaea Castle and explained to Dorag.
"It's like in the Eyes of the rich and powerful, the bottom People are no longer the same Species as them. It's like when someone starves to death, someone will ask, 'Why not eat meat porridge?'
In the Eyes of the Celestial Dragons, Humans are not the same Species as them either. They are descendants of God. Although there were also guys who called themselves Gods, their old home was occupied by them, and they were almost exterminated.
For them, they no longer have material pursuits. What they pursue more is spiritual pleasure."
Seemingly thinking of something, Dorag's Complexion changed slightly, but he didn't say much, just looked at the towering and majestic Pangaea Castle with a Gaze that gradually turned cold.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 345: The Gap in Status
At this moment, on the Social Square of Pangaea Castle.
Representatives from various countries gathered here were enthusiastically conversing in the Square.
Representatives from countries located in the New World, the Four Seas, or even the first half of the Grand Line, all showed unimaginable enthusiasm towards each other.
After all, if they could gain an Ally in another Sea Area, it would play a huge role in their Rule.
Take West Blue as an example. Facing the Flower Country of West Blue, which possesses powerful military strength, many countries near Flower Country have only one choice: to Surrender and become affiliated states. Countries further away also need to constantly worry about invasions from Flower Country, or Plunder from the legitimate Pirate Hasshoken Army.
However, if you have a powerful country in the New World as an Ally, then Flower Country will definitely consider the gains and losses to some extent. After all, if the Profit is not enough to compensate for the loss, or if the Profit gained is only slightly higher than the loss, then it is completely unnecessary.
Moreover, due to the different geographical locations, once countries in different Sea Areas reach cooperation, they can completely use the Resource of their own regions to Trade with each other, thereby obtaining huge Profit and purchasing Weapons to increase the Strength of their countries.
Therefore, during this short period of waiting to enter Pangaea Castle, marriage Alliances of national nature were formed in such conversations in the Social Square.
As for the Opinions of both parties in the Marriage?
Is that important? It's not important. In the Royal Family, if you have no Strength, you are just a Tool used to achieve political goals. After all, the Royal Family has given you a superior Life far beyond Ordinary People, so what if you sacrifice yourself?
Not only that, but there were also topics about Trade, Alliances, and Weapon transactions.
The Excitement of the Social Square inevitably aroused the interest of the Celestial Dragons who came to inspect the Tribute from various countries.
Especially for the Celestial Dragons, using their noble Status as Celestial Dragons in front of these Big Shots in the eyes of Ordinary People, and Enjoying their flattery and awe, can bring a different kind of thrill.
At the same time, many Celestial Dragons were also rushing towards Pangaea Castle.
At a certain Celestial Dragon Residence.
"Saint Charlos, do you know? You are born different from these Inferior Race. You are a noble Descendant of Gods. These Inferior Race are not worthy of receiving your friendship, understand?"
A Man wearing Celestial Dragon exclusive clothing was currently looking down at a little girl under his Foot who was spitting out Blood, while beside him, a boy also wearing a smaller version of Celestial Dragon exclusive clothing and sniffling, was staring blankly at this Scene.
And beside him, there was also an even younger Celestial Dragon girl looking at the little girl under Saint Rosward's Foot with shining Eyes, as if this Cruel Scene had activated another Aspect of her Inner Thoughts.
"Saint Rosward, your Vehicle is ready. Would you like to go to Pangaea Castle?"
At this time, a person dressed as a butler came to Saint Rosward's side and respectfully asked.
And behind this butler, there was also a Giant Figure lying on the ground on all fours.
"Oh, it's ready? Then let's go."
"My Luck is really good. The last Giant Carriage just broke down, and there's a new one... Hey, you guys, help me get on."
Saint Rosward suddenly looked at the bodyguards beside him, who were wearing black Suits and arranged in height order from tall to short.
"Yes, Saint Rosward!"
The bodyguards quickly lay down on the ground, using their Bodies to form a Human Ladder.
Saint Rosward skillfully stepped on the bodyguards' Bodies and quickly rode onto the back of that Giant Figure.
"Depart, to the Social Square!"
Saint Rosward raised his Finger and pointed in the direction of the Social Square, issuing an Order.
"Yes!"
The bodyguards responsible for protecting his safety responded in unison.
Then the group marched mightily towards Pangaea Castle.
And behind Saint Rosward's group, there were several Figures wearing white Robes and Masks on their Faces following.
...
"It's really hard to imagine, what kind of Trump Card do the Celestial Dragons have to make so many World Government Member State, and even the World Government, Surrender at their Foot."
Hearing the discussion in the Social Square, Dorag, wearing Knight Armor, couldn't help but sigh and say.
Among these countries that came to pay Celestial Tribute, there are many powerful military powers, but in front of the Celestial Dragons, they are still so humble and submissive.
"Maybe we'll find out today, but if fishing catches a 'Sea Kings', then the two of us will probably be in danger today."
Nicholas, eating the Delicacies prepared by the World Government for these Allied Nation Representatives, said with a smile.
Soon, accompanied by the successive arrival of the Celestial Dragons.
The Social Square, which was still very lively before, has now become extraordinarily quiet.
The representatives from various countries who were originally chatting enthusiastically were now all as if silenced, just silently drinking Wine and Enjoying Delicious Food.
After all, before, everyone's Status was not much different, and even joking casually was fine, but now with the arrival of more and more Celestial Dragons, who knows if they will be executed or turned into Slaves by the Celestial Dragons because of saying a wrong word.
Don't look at them as Representatives of various countries, but in front of the Celestial Dragons, they are nothing. Their Kings will not offend the Celestial Dragons and the World Government for their sake.
And just at this moment, a Sound suddenly came from the outer side of the Social Square, causing many people to subconsciously look over.
"That is... the Giant Race!"
Those in the Square were not ignorant people. They immediately recognized the Status of the Giant Figure under Saint Rosward.
"To think that even the powerful Giant Race can only be reduced to Slaves!"
"The Subjects of Giant Country Elbaf, which is known as the world's number one military power, are also just Slaves to be humiliated by the Celestial Dragons... It's really laughable."
Although the Lifespan of the Giant Race is long, their fertility rate is not high. It can be said that every Giant subject is Elbaf's precious Wealth, but facing the Celestial Dragons who treat their Subjects as Slaves, they don't even dare to Fart and even have to send Giants to serve the Marine. It's really laughable.
At the same time, this also made many Representatives of Member State deeply realize.
Whether it is the powerful Giant or the King of Ordinary People, there is an insurmountable Chasm between them and the Descendant of the Creator who are high above in the sky.
The crowd whispered and pointed at the Giant. Facing the pointing of the crowd, the Giant's Face was only numb, obviously he had been completely domesticated.
And Saint Rosward, riding on the Giant, scanned the surrounding Allied Nation Representatives with a condescending posture.
"Why has it become so quiet? Continue playing the Musical Instrument, continue dancing."
Saint Rosward, completely unaware that he had ruined the Atmosphere, waved the Whip in his hand and said.
Hearing Saint Rosward's slightly displeased Words, the Musicians who had just subconsciously stopped playing all turned pale. Offending a Noble might still give them a chance to survive, but offending a Celestial Dragon only leads to death!
These Musicians quickly resumed their previous performance at the first moment.
The melodious Sound of Musical Instrument performance rang out once again.
Saint Rosward nodded in satisfaction, intending to go and communicate with other familiar Celestial Dragons to see if there were any new exciting ways to play.
"Bang!"
Just then, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the Square.
