The Five Elder Stars passed through the cracks on the garden dome one after another and quickly returned to the corridor in Pangu City. However, when they came out of the garden, there was no sign of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi except for the unconscious guards on the ground.
There was a huge hole on the large window beside the corridor. Izambaron V. Nasujuro walked to the windowsill, looked out the window, and searched briefly for traces of Tsugikuni Yoriichi, but found nothing.
"Have you left?"
Saint Satan came to the side of Saint Nasujuro, his eyes fell on the broken glass left by the window, he reached out and picked up a strand of red hair from the glass shards, and said in a deep voice.
Saint Izambaron V. Nasujuro also noticed Saint Satan's actions. Seeing the strand of hair in the other's hand, he changed back to his original form, and his brows were furrowed into the shape of a "川" character.
"That bastard. Bastard!"
"Wanted! Issue an arrest warrant for Yoriichi Tsugakuni and all the members of his fleet in the Dawn Marines!"
"Breaking into the holy land and killing the Celestial Dragons is a declaration of war against our World Government!"
"He already knows about Lord Yimu's existence. We absolutely cannot let this guy live!"
Izambalon V. Nasujuro said this, and then kicked the wall angrily, directly breaking the entire wall into pieces. The first generation of Kitetsu who had always been with him was actually taken away by Yoriichi Tsugumi. This matter made him more angry than Yoriichi Tsugumi killing the Celestial Dragons.
With nowhere to vent his anger, he could only vent it on the wall.
"boom!!!"
The moment the wall shattered, a flash of knife light suddenly emerged from it and slashed directly towards the neck of Izambalon V. Nasujuro.
The change happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned by the scene.
Izambalon V. Nasujuro only felt that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's face was suddenly reflected in his pupils, and the next moment, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's long sword directly cut on Izambalon V. Nasujuro's neck.
The Five Elders thought that Jigoku Yoshiichi had left, but they didn't expect that Jigoku Yoshiichi was still in Pangu City.
Not only did he not leave, he actually hid on the outer wall of Pangu City, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Nasujuro Sei kicked the wall to vent his anger, but it unexpectedly hit the mark and forced Yoriichi Tsugakuni to take action earlier.
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's original intention was to wait for the Five Elders to return and then attack from behind them, but this sudden change also disrupted Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's plan.
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi!!!"
Izambaron V. Nasujuro let out a low roar, and the long sword in Yunyi's hand quickly swept across his neck.
The head of Izambaron V. Nasujuro Sei flew everywhere, and blood splattered, instantly dyeing the white kimono on Nasujuro Sei red.
The moment Nasujuro's head flew up, Satan and the other four reacted one after another and transformed into combat forms. Satan's ability was suddenly exerted on Tsugakuni Yoriichi, and Tsugakuni Yoriichi's body became briefly stiff.
At the same time, the attacks of the other people also fell on Yuichiro Tsugakuin one after another, directly knocking Yuichiro Tsugakuin out.
In mid-air, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's gaze quickly swept over Nasujuro Sei who was lying in a pool of blood. He opened his mouth and laughed silently.
At this time, several scars appeared on Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's body. The attacks of the other four Five Elders penetrated his protective domineering aura and caused him real damage.
The chest and abdomen of Yunyi collapsed slightly. With the help of the transparent world, Yunyi Jiguo clearly knew that several ribs in his chest were broken. Although this degree of injury was not fatal, it would greatly affect his combat effectiveness.
Seeing the headless body of Nasujuro Sheng falling to the ground, Tsugikuni Yoriichi did not intend to stay in the holy land any longer. He flew out of Pangu City, spun in the air, and quickly flew away.
Dusk fell, and in just a blink of an eye, the figure of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi disappeared from the eyes of the other Five Elders. They had completely lost sight of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi and could only rely on their observation Haki to sense Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's breath when he used the Conqueror's Haki to fly.
In the perception of several people, Ji Guoyuan directly passed through the entire holy land and fell from the red earth continent.
Several people stood there on guard for several minutes before Satan quickly turned around, grabbed Nasu Shoulangsheng's head and body, and left quickly.
"A wanted order has been issued for Tsugikoku Yoriichi and his men. Tsugikoku Yoriichi entered the Holy Land without orders and released slaves belonging to the Celestial Dragons."
"Kick him out of the navy and put a bounty on him!"
Saint Topman Vochuli glanced at the glaring pool of crimson on the ground, couldn't help but clench his fists slightly, and said in a cold voice.
Kuzan, who had been waiting outside Pangu City for a long time, also sensed the location of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi when he released his domineering aura and left. After hurriedly chasing him for a few steps, he finally stopped and looked in the direction where Tsugakuin Yoshiichi left with a complicated expression.
At the horizon, the afterglow of the setting sun finally disappeared completely. The sky was filled with stars, and the bright moon hung in the sky. The cold and bright moonlight spread down, illuminating the entire holy land.
In the Celestial Dragon town, curses, shouts, and cries were heard everywhere. The CP9 members who came to support were busy running around in the town. Even gunshots could be heard from time to time in the chaotic city.
"oh?!"
"It's already so late—"
"I worked overtime for a long time today..."
"Hurry back and have dinner."
Borsalino, who had been lying in a pit in an unknown house for a long time, scratched his scalp, slowly got up from the ground, looked up at the sky outside, stood up, dusted off the dust and gravel on his body, and then his body turned into golden light and disappeared on the spot.
In the city.
Sakaski stood under the shade of a big tree with his hands behind his back and his eyes closed.
Not long after he returned to the city, the domineering aura of Tsugikuni Yoriichi erupted from the direction of Pangu City. Sakaski had no intention of disobeying the orders of the Five Elders and rushing to Pangu City. He found a relatively quiet place and waited quietly for the next order.
When Jiguo Yuanyi left, Sakaski also noticed it. He had no intention of chasing him. He just reached into the inside pocket of his suit, took out a cigar, and put it to his lips.
A little, wisps of smoke drifted away.
January 15th, 1508 in the Haiyuan calendar.
The Celestial Dragons who had lived in harmony on the holy land for hundreds of years suffered an unprecedented terrorist attack on this day.
Night falls.
Marine Headquarters, Marinford.
In the office of the Navy Admiral, Marshal Zhan Guo sat behind his desk, his chin resting on his hands, and remained silent for a long time.
In front of the desk, Zefa and Garp sat face to face on the sofa.
There were only three of them in the huge office, and the atmosphere was quite depressing.
"The battle seems to be over."
The headquarters of the navy is quite close to the Sabaody Archipelago. Although the location of the holy land is several thousand meters above sea level, when Tsugakuni Yoriichi and the Five Elders were fighting, Sengoku and others could still feel a faint sense of oppression coming from the sky.
This feeling would appear from time to time before, but now, this sense of oppression has completely disappeared.
Garp murmured, turning his head to look out the window, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Zefa raised his head slightly, silently took off the glasses on his nose, rubbed his Tianying acupoint, and slowly stood up.
"If it's over, I'll leave first."
Zefa said this and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, Zephyr!"
"Wait until you get the exact news before you leave."
"Since you've been sitting here for so long, do you mind sitting a little longer?"
Zefa, who had reached the door, was stopped by Zhan Guo. Zefa paused, a hint of anger flashing between his brows. He snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, it's already come to this. Do you think I would still go to the Sabaody Archipelago?!"
"Zhan Guo, you are too cautious!"
"Just let Garp stay here. I have things to do!"
Zefa said, grabbing the door handle.
Since morning, he and Karp were "invited" here by Karp, and they sat here for the whole day.
Zephyr knew very well what Sengoku meant. He was afraid that Sengoku and Garp would sneak away from the Marine Headquarters and do something that would put the headquarters in an awkward position.
This is Sengoku's house arrest of Zephyr and Garp, and it is also a protection for these two old Marines.
The Naval Headquarters was very cautious in handling the matter of Yoriichi Tsugakuni. They had to take into account the feelings of the World Government as well as the feelings of the two veterans, Garp and Zephyr.
The decision to dispatch three generals and a group of lieutenant generals was made after careful consideration by the Warring States period.
It now seems that Tsugikuni Yoriichi and the World Government have finally reached that point. At this time, all actions of the Naval Headquarters need to be carried out with extreme caution.
The fact that Admiral Yoshiichi Tsugakuni had intruded into the Holy Land had already irritated the World Government. If someone else in the Naval Headquarters did something out of line, it would become very difficult to predict what would happen between the Naval Headquarters and the World Government.
Zhan Guo will never allow the headquarters' position to waver, otherwise, the world will be in chaos.
“Click—”
Zefa didn't pay any attention to Zhan Guo's intention. He reached out and opened the door. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the sound of Den Den Mushi behind him.
Zhan Guo originally wanted to stop Zefa, but when the sound of Den Den Mushi rang out, Zhan Guo's expression immediately froze. He glanced at Zefa and quickly picked up the receiver.
Seeing this, Zefa silently closed the door, turned around and leaned against the door, looking at Zhan Guo. Garp, who was sitting on the sofa, also turned his head and looked at Zhan Guo.
"Hello?"
"I'm Zhan Guo."
Zhan Guo adjusted his mood and answered the phone. Just as he finished speaking, an old voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi:
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi committed an unforgivable crime in the Holy Land."
"From today on, Tsugakuni Yoriichi will be stripped of his title as Admiral and expelled from the Navy."
"Issuing a bounty order, the reward is 5 billion berries!"
"At the same time, cancel the Sword of Dawn designation."
"Have you captured Tsugikuni Yoriichi's helpers? The slaves were rescued by Bartholomew Kuma using his powers, but the Sword of Dawn's warships should still be docked at the port of the Sabaody Archipelago."
"Have you, the Navy Headquarters, captured Tsugakuni Yoriichi's accomplices?"
Topman Wakuli-sei's voice echoed throughout the office through the Den Den Mushi.
When Zephyr heard that the World Government was going to offer a bounty for Yoriichi Tsugakuni, his expression immediately darkened. After a brief moment of stunned silence, Garp suddenly grinned and laughed silently.
"A bounty? Even in the Holy Land, no one can stop him from leaving!?"
"Hey! That kid"
Garp's mind turned, and he heard Zhan Guo frowning and asking:
"Did Tsugikoku Yoriichi escape?"
"The encirclement and suppression by the Navy Headquarters failed. Among Tsugikuni Yoriichi's subordinates, there was a user with the ability of the Juju Fruit, who took off with the warship Dawn."
"I'm so sorry."
After hearing Topman Vochulisheng's question, Sengoku quickly answered, lowered his posture, and apologized.
After hearing Sengoku's reply, the person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi fell into a brief silence.
After a while, the voice of Saint Topman Vochuli came again:
"Those who escaped are all wanted!"
"At the same time, issue the Demon Slayer Order to Dressrosa!"
"King Riku's son-in-law participated in Tsugikuni Yoriichi's actions. He is an accomplice and must be completely annihilated!"
Demon-slaying order!
Upon hearing this order, Zhan Guo's face changed immediately.
"Demon Slayer Order? Against Dressrosa?"
"Tsugikuni Yoriichi was able to escape despite being chased by the three admirals of the navy and a group of powerful people from the Holy Land."
"People like him are no longer something that can be dealt with by the Demon Slayer Order."
"What's more, the Dawn Sword's navy is almost entirely under the control of Yoriichi Tsugikuni. They have already strangled the main route to the New World."
"Sending warships into the New World is definitely not a wise choice."
"What's more, if a warrant is issued for the arrest of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi and his subordinates, it's hard to say what will happen to the world."
"Our top priority is to ensure that the world remains stable after this arrest warrant is issued."
"Tsugikuni Yoriichi's influence is immense, we absolutely cannot take it lightly!"
Facing Topman Vochulisheng's order, Sengoku raised an objection for the first time and spoke loudly.
After Zhan Guo finished speaking, the face of Topman Vochulisheng, who was on the other end of the chatterbox, immediately darkened and he asked in a deep voice:
"Zhan Guo, are you going to disobey the orders of the Five Elders?"
"Disobeying the orders of the World Government!"
Topman Vochulisheng's words made Sengoku's breath hitch.
Sakaski reported what happened in the holy land in the afternoon. Although Sakaski had no contact after that, Sengoku and others still knew what Tsugikuni Yoshiichi did in the holy land.
The former admiral of the navy attacked the holy land for no reason. During this sensitive period, the world government's trust in the navy headquarters has dropped to freezing point.
It was normal that Warring States' words would cause such a big reaction from Topman Vochuli Saint. Warring States had undoubtedly walked into the trap of the Five Elders.
"I have no intention of disobeying the World Government's orders."
"However, under the current world situation, it is not a wise move for the navy to dispatch warships to attack Dressrosa."
"It's very likely there will be a bigger backlash."
Zhan Guo's words were quite tactful.
But the speaker may not have meant it, but the listener took it seriously. When Topman Wouchurisheng on the other end of the phone heard Zhan Guo's words, his expression immediately became serious, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and he said in a serious tone, "Zhan Guo, are you threatening us?!"
After the words fell, Zhan Guo fell silent, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
With his wisdom, after hearing what the other party said, he also realized his own gaffe. After a long silence, Zhan Guo sighed and said:
"I will order the navy to carry out the Demon Slayer Order on Dressrosa."
Compromise. In order to prevent the conflict between the World Government and the Marine Headquarters from deepening, at this moment, Sengoku finally chose to obey the orders of the Five Elders.
"Topman Vochuli Saint, Marshal Sengoku's words are not wrong."
"How about this, Marshal Zhan Guo, let's put the matter of the Demon Slayer Order on hold for now."
"First, we will publicize Tsugikuni Yoriichi's evil deeds within the navy and issue a wanted order. We will then make a judgment based on the situation."
"Let's leave it like this for now."
Just as Zhan Guo was about to hang up the phone and order people to carry out the demon-slaying order, the voice of Marcus Mazsheng came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, trying to smooth things over.
"Yes!" There was a hint of joy in Zhan Guo's eyes. He responded and then hung up the phone.
Zefa stood by the door and listened for a long time, then opened the door again and walked out of the office.
“Hahahahahaha!”
"That kid really did something incredible!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
After Zephyr left, Garp's laughter was heard in Sengoku's office. Yoriichi Tsugakuni became a wanted criminal. It would be a lie for Garp to say that he was not angry, but when he thought of what Yoriichi Tsugakuni had done, Garp still couldn't help laughing.
He minded that Ji Guoyuan went astray, but he didn't mind that Ji Guoyuan went his own way.
Just like his different attitudes towards Dragon, Ace, Luffy and Kuzan, Garp actually doesn't mind his son joining the Revolutionary Army, doesn't mind his grandson becoming a pirate in pursuit of freedom, and doesn't mind Ace and Whitebeard hanging out together.
But when Kuzan and Blackbeard got together, Garp started to mind.
Because Blackbeard, Whitebeard, Luffy, and Dragon are all different!
In Garp's eyes, people like Blackbeard are on the wrong path.
After leaving Zhan Guo's office, Zefa returned to his residence under the bright moonlight.
After sitting in Sengoku's office for a whole day, Zephyr was also worried all day. Now that he has the exact news about Tsugikuni Yoriichi, Zephyr can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After taking off his shoes, Zefa was about to go back to his room to rest. When he walked to the corridor, he was struck by lightning and suddenly froze in place.
On the corridor in front of the room where Tsugumi Yuichi originally lived, a red-haired young man with his upper body naked was sitting, looking up at the bright moon.
The young man's body was covered with horrific wounds. Although there was no bleeding, the injuries were obviously quite serious.
Under the moonlight, the red-haired young man slowly turned his head and looked at Zefa. He raised his hand and a bright smile appeared on his face:
"Long time no see, Mr. Zefa."
"Before I go back, I'll come to see you. I'm afraid it won't be easy to see you later."
