If Sengoku doesn't pull back his net soon, I'll become the Pirate King!

Chapter 74 The Five Old Stars' Reproach

Chapter 74 The Five Elders' Reprimand

Mid-March of the 1493rd year of the Haiyuan Calendar.

[The Holy Land of Mary Geoise, Pangaea - Hall of Power]

The sound of footsteps on the paving stones grew louder as they approached.

Colleagues,

The bald old man walked into the room carrying the first generation Kitetsu, along with a newspaper in his hand.

"It seems we've been too lenient lately; our subordinates are becoming somewhat disobedient."

The newspaper was left on the table.

The other four members of the Five Elders only glanced at the headline before resuming their previous actions.

Those who want to drink tea should drink tea, and those who want to enjoy desserts should enjoy desserts.

"Ah, you mean this, Nasujuro Sei."

Piet Saint took a small sip of red wine, swirled the glass, and watched the red liquid slowly drip down the sides of the glass.

[Breaking News! Roger's Pirates Battle the Marines, Unleashing World-Destroying Thunder—The Marine Hero!!]

[#RiskingTheirLifeToFilm, Our Reporter is Gloriously Injured While Reporting on Thunder Heroes -- The Rumble-Rumble Fruit Appears, and the Marine Headquarters Launches a Counterattack!]

[#The strongest Logia-type Devil Fruit, Monkey D. Garp, a righteous hero about to become the nightmare of pirates!]

"It's a Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit! Where did the Marine Headquarters find this fruit?"

"That's not the important thing, Saint Satan. We don't care who ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but..."

Piet Saint put down his wine glass, his gaze towards the newspaper tinged with annoyance.

"The Navy's failure to report this is a rebellious act. The Navy may eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but only under our orders."

"The navy is just a hunting dog we keep. If this hunting dog doesn't obey, then it's time to teach it a lesson."

"Gentlemen, what do you think?"

I second that.

"Seconded—"

Within 10 seconds, four voices seconded the motion.

"But there's an even more important issue we need to address."

Topman Vocuri Saint lowered his head slightly, his Mediterranean forehead reflecting white light.

"The one who ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is Garp, you know him, right? That man doesn't like Celestial Dragons."

"They don't even have the most basic respect. The man who is hailed as a hero by the entire navy has never been under our control. Even if we wanted to promote him to the rank of admiral, he would most likely refuse."

"A man of the D clan—"

A complex look flashed in the eyes of the Five Elders.

"It's become an inescapable problem; that man has become someone we can't easily deal with."

"This is truly outrageous. The best course of action now is to let time erase everything the other party has done to us."

"This matter—"

Topman Vocuri slowly exhaled and said in a deep voice:

"I suggest we report this to that official and let him make the decision."

"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit hasn't appeared for hundreds of years. I'm worried that its sudden appearance this time might cause unnecessary trouble."

"Garp's three types of Haki were already powerful, and now with this Devil Fruit..."

"If the other side has any intention of rebellion, it will be an excessively powerful enemy for our world government."

Izanbaron V. Nassshuro frowned, pausing in his act of maintaining his sword.

"Things haven't reached the point where we need to disturb that person's rest yet. Put Garp on the first watch list."

"If the other party shows any signs of amiss, it's not too late to report to Lord Im."

"The most important thing now is to give the Navy Headquarters a warning."

"I suggest that the Navy's budget be cut by 30 percent next year, and the Navy Headquarters must make more officer positions available for our people."

I second that.

Marcus Mazsan put down the raspberry cookie and gracefully cleaned the crumbs off his beard.

"Have the Admiral wait outside the Hall of Authority. We will issue the notification of this punishment in three days."

"Can."

I second that.

I second that.

Meanwhile, in the Dragon Palace Kingdom, ten thousand meters deep in the ocean—

Bazel, who was attending the Cornetto cram school, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Enel, who was doing push-ups and chatting nearby.

"What did you say? The Navy and the Roger Pirates are fighting?"

"997, 98...1000!"

Call ~

Enel got up to catch his breath, not bothering to wipe away the sweat, and started doing weighted squats.

"That's right, brother. I heard it from others this morning."

"Isn't Boss Hanafza stationed at the entrance to Fishman Island? He captured some pirate crews who were trying to kidnap the mermaid lady and leave."

"News obtained from them after severe torture."

"The newspaper is with my older sister~"

"Ah Shi, let me see the newspaper."

Bazel stopped sparring, took the newspaper handed to him by Tenzuki, and read it with Kaido.

"The Navy has won a great victory. The Oro Jackson was swallowed by a super sea king. The Roger Pirates have disappeared without a trace. The World Economic Journal is becoming more and more unreliable."

Kaido shook his head and said disdainfully:

"Roger isn't going to die so easily in the mouth of a Sea King."

"The Navy missed its chance this time, and it will probably be very difficult to find the Roger Pirates again next time."

As he listened to Kaido's ramblings, Bazel frowned slightly.

He didn't give the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to Garp so that Garp would attack without being sure of success.

If you want to stop the Roger Pirates from becoming the Pirate King, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is a killer that can only be used once!

Once the fruit appears in the public eye, the meaning of his giving it away will be halved.

With their preparations complete, Roger's pirate crew will certainly not show themselves easily again.

The next time they reappear, it will probably be when they acquire Kozuki Oden and begin deciphering ancient texts.

Unfortunately, the Beasts Pirates were not qualified to stop the Roger Pirates at that time.

Let alone stopping it.

With their current fighting strength, there is no way they could defeat the Roger Pirates.

King against king, general against general.

Neither Kaido nor Kaido himself was a match for Roger and Rayleigh.

time!

He needs more time to develop!

Roger's pirate crew, which acquired Kozuki Oden, will have five awakened users of Conqueror's Haki.

Moreover, all five of them later became masters of the art of entanglement.

In contrast, the Beasts Pirates.

There is no third person besides him and Kaido. If Loki could join, they might have the strength to fight the Roger Pirates!

But this capital is also based on the premise that he and Kaido become stronger.

If they cannot stop Roger and Rayleigh, the future battlefield will only become more chaotic.

"There's not enough time—"

Hearing Bazel sigh, Kaido frowned and asked:

"Even if Garp ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, there's no need for you to sigh, is there?"

"No, the reason I'm troubled isn't the Navy, but the Roger Pirates."

Barzel flipped through the back of the newspaper.

"If the Navy's operation can defeat them this time, it will be a good thing. We who want to become the Pirate King will have one less opponent in the future."

"Unfortunately, this operation was unsuccessful; the navy's actions instead served as a wake-up call for the drunkard."

"The Roger Pirates will definitely be more careful after learning their lesson."

"Kaido-san, I remember you mentioned to me before that the Roger Pirates were searching for something in the New World in 1476 of the Sea Calendar, right?"

Kaido nodded hesitantly: "That's right, but this is what Linlin told me, so I don't know if it's true or not."

In the year 1476 of the Sea Calendar, the Roger Pirates failed in their first attempt to reach the final destination.

After their first defeat, the somewhat dejected Roger Pirates returned to the East Blue and stayed on the music island of Eregia for a long time.

Until the music there rekindled Roger's spirits, the Roger Pirates set sail once more.

No one knows what the Roger Pirates were searching for in the New World that year.

Except for Bazell.

As a die-hard fan of the One Piece anime, he naturally knew that before obtaining Kozuki Oden, Roger only suspected that the Poneglyphs contained something.

But it cannot be determined.

It wasn't until 1496 that Roger borrowed Kozuki Oden from Whitebeard to start anew.

Roger reached the final destination in just one year!

And they called that place LaughTale!

The biggest joke: Laugh Dru!

"After this incident, which alerted the enemy, I'm worried that the Roger Pirates might take covert action."

"Look here."

Kaido looked at the newspaper picture in the direction Bazel was pointing.

"Even under such intense lightning, the ship was still able to sail smoothly."

At first, Kaido didn't notice anything amiss, but suddenly, his gaze fell on the naturally drooping sails!

"Wait, Bazel, the sea area on the map is the calm zone!?"

Kaido's expression changed slightly:

"How can their pirate ship maintain such a high speed even without wind?!"

Bazel pointed to the dark shape below the ship.

"Because of ocean currents, when a super sea monster rises from the seabed, it generates huge shock waves."

"This ship..."

"They're leveraging this trend!!!"
