Chapter 272: The Five Elders Under Influence

It can be said that Uchiha Feiyu, with his own strength, raised the ceiling of the One Piece World several times over; before that, even the strongest on the sea had no way to face the siege of two top-tier combatants.

For example, the captain of a certain once-strongest pirate crew, Rocks, was still beaten to a pulp when facing the combined forces of Garp and Roger; being able to suppress Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Big Mom, and Kaido, this Rocks was definitely the top of the top-tier combatants, yet he still could not defeat two powerhouses of the same level.

Facing the threat of Uchiha Feiyu, even the Five Elders, who had always been high and mighty, looking at ordinary humans as insects, began to feel it was thorny; besides issuing a bounty, they actually felt a sense of helplessness for a moment.

There is no way around it; even though the World Government possesses the trump card to destroy the entire One Piece World and wipe out an island in one blow, it is definitely not that easy to use against a flexible individual.

The super weapon capable of destroying islands, under Uchiha Feiyu's speed of several hundred times the speed of sound, would likely not even be able to catch his exhaust, let alone cause him any damage.

"Where exactly did this Uchiha Feiyu pop out from? Intelligence shows that this guy was just a small merchant in the East Blue a few months ago!"

"A small merchant in the East Blue... because he encountered pirates, he turned into an adventurer like a Bounty Hunter, and after a few months, he possessed the strength to slaughter the Marine Headquarters... does anyone actually believe this kind of intelligence?"

"A Paramecia Devil Fruit Ability? It looks quite troublesome in close-quarters combat! It's a pity that your physical fitness and Haki level are nothing special!"

The Five Elders held a vote with serious faces, yet they never imagined that all of this was almost entirely the result of Uchiha Feiyu manipulating their hearts with Magic Thought, causing the originally tiny thoughts in their minds to completely overwhelm all reason, leading them to make this foolish decision that was akin to raising a tiger that would eventually devour them.

"Agreed!"

After the Five Elders made the plan to win over Uchiha Feiyu, they immediately notified the Marine and the CP Agent organization, letting them bring the news to Uchiha Feiyu.

"If there is no way to eliminate him... then is it possible to win him over?"

"Win him over?! You mean..."

With this kind of strength, Mikita was naturally fearless; she was a typical pirate by nature, and it was perfectly normal for her to be arrogant once she achieved success.

Hancock, sitting behind Uchiha Feiyu as a backrest, spoke with an excited face; as the king of the pirate nation Amazon Lily, Hancock was clearly not someone to be trifled with, and now, backed by the invincible Uchiha Feiyu, her pirate personality was fully highlighted.

"Agreed!"

Only today... the times have changed! The sudden emergence of Uchiha Feiyu told everyone in the One Piece World just how strong individual strength could reach; the so-called top-tier combatants were no stronger than cannon fodder in front of this Super-Limit Being. Looking at the current situation, as long as he wanted to, Uchiha Feiyu could completely destroy the entire World Government with his own strength!

Just as the Five Elders were still discussing, Uchiha Feiyu's Magic Thought had already infiltrated Mary Geoise and reached into the minds of the Five Elders.

Mikita landed leisurely from the sky with a smiling expression on her face, looking at the female Marine generals below with ugly expressions, and added fuel to the fire:

"Or is it... that you guys came here to seduce our captain? Can you still be called Marines like this? What a bunch of shameless bitches!"

"This will cause a great impact on the prestige of the World Government, right!"

Even for some masters of martial arts, Moon Walk is only used for short-term hovering or changing direction in the air, a move to launch attacks from the air, but for Mikita, who can freely change her body weight, the so-called Moon Walk is completely a flight ability, consuming no more stamina than walking.

However, with Uchiha Feiyu's help, her Devil Fruit ability had long since reached Awakening, and she had also practiced Human Immortal Martial Arts and meditation methods, awakened Two-Color Haki, and improved her physical constitution; her current strength is comparable to a top Marine Vice Admiral.

"Fine, under these circumstances, this is indeed the best choice, I also agree!"

"Master, a Marine warship is coming ahead, let me go and finish them off!"

Beside that female Vice Admiral were two female Marine Rear Admirals, both of whom were great beauties with their own unique characteristics.

A moment later, Uchiha Feiyu, who was still sitting on the deck, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Red Line thousands of kilometers away, a trace of a smile appearing on his face.

This former Baroque Works Agent's original strength could only be described as mediocre, and her Devil Fruit ability was also quite ordinary.

"The Marine's strength is very easy to replenish; just hold a large-scale conscription. There are still many powerhouses on the sea who are outside the Marine and Pirate systems. It just so happens that the Marine has many vacant positions now, which can be used to buy these powerhouses."

One of them had long, smooth, sea-blue wavy hair and was wearing a purple vest and black hot pants. There was also an X-shaped scar on her right leg.

The other had long pink hair, wore purple sunglasses, had a cigarette dangling from her mouth, wore a rose-red professional suit, and also wore dark purple gloves.

As for Imu... the Five Elders did not continue; although that person possessed higher authority, if it were based purely on strength, even if only two of the Five Elders joined forces, they would have the confidence to defeat him.

"As you wish, but don't hurt people casually; the Marines who came this time should be here to deliver a gift to me!"

Yes, on this Marine warship, they were all female Marines. The leading female Marine held the rank of Vice Admiral, had a tall figure, a beautiful appearance, a spider tattoo on her thigh, and a long sword that looked very precious hanging at her waist.

Her physical fitness was the same; even though she was very lazy in her practice of Human Immortal Martial Arts, the foundation of Uchiha Feiyu's human body modification alone had already allowed her to step into the physique of a Marine Vice Admiral level. Combined with her Awakening-level Devil Fruit ability, she easily defeated Tina, the newly promoted Marine Rear Admiral.

"Well said, that makes a lot of sense!!"

"For example, give him the status of a Celestial Dragon? The world is so big, it's not like we can't share a piece of the cake with him!"

With a light chuckle, Uchiha Feiyu patted Mikita, who was lying beside him, and said:

"Go over there and see, who exactly did the Marine send?"

"There shouldn't be such a level of powerhouse on the sea... we all know that this world has a ceiling. If one could become stronger by just training, then the five of us and Imu could sweep the entire sea with any one of us."

The pink-haired Marine Rear Admiral had the most irritable temper and kicked out at the first moment. Mikita still had a mocking expression on her face, but her parasol was wrapped in a layer of black Armament Haki, and she smashed it out as well.

"Since that's the case, let's take a vote! To win over that Uchiha Feiyu to become a branch of the Celestial Dragons, is it approved or opposed?"

"Not bad... that Uchiha Feiyu is very abnormal, and his intelligence also has a lot of suspicious points, but we don't have a way to solve it!"

Uchiha Feiyu waved his hand, and Mikita jumped up with a grin. After reducing her weight to the limit with her Devil Fruit ability, she used Moon Walk to stroll easily in the air, walking toward the opposite Marine ship.

"Regardless, this is the initial intelligence on this guy, and the most important thing now is how to deal with the other party's threat, and at the same time, the Marine's strength also needs to be replenished!"

"I have no objection!"

Arriving above the Marine warship, Mikita looked down and immediately showed an expression of surprise:

Under the terrifying gravitational acceleration, with a 'pop' sound, Tina's expression changed, and her whole body was blasted backward. If it hadn't been for Momousagi, the leading Marine Vice Admiral, pulling her, she would have been smashed away like a meteor.

Just as the Five Elders said themselves, there is a ceiling to strength on this sea; even the strongest top-tier powerhouse, in a head-on battle, cannot deal with two other powerhouses who have crossed that line with their own strength.

After the Five Elders made up their minds, their speed of action was still very fast. Half a day later, a Marine warship intercepted Uchiha Feiyu's ship.

"In the past, even if there were powerhouses who could use Devil Fruit abilities to ignore the attacks of the National Treasure, we could use the powerhouses in our hands to surround and kill them, but for this one today, even if the five of us join forces, I'm afraid it would just be suicide!"

Momousagi extended her famous sword Konpira, which was still in its scabbard, and blocked it in front of that female Marine Rear Admiral:

"Ain, don't forget our mission!"

Although the two sides were far apart, Uchiha Feiyu could not directly turn the Five Elders into puppets in a short time, but it was enough for him to control the Five Elders' mental emotions and cause them great influence.

Although it was originally just an ordinary parasol, when it was swung out, it smashed the air until it cracked inch by inch, as if it were a heavy weapon like an iron rod or a sledgehammer—in fact, this is exactly the usage developed after Mikita's Devil Fruit Awakening.

Therefore, having the "National Treasure" capable of countering groups, and having accumulated the six top powerhouses of the sea—the Five Elders and Imu—plus the God's Knights, CP Agents, and the various top powerhouses that could always be won over from the Marine, the World Government was truly sitting back and relaxing, with no need to worry about the resistance of the underdogs.

"As long as you want to find a reason, there are plenty. Ordinary people are very easy to deceive, and those who cannot be deceived are our potential enemies themselves."

Mikita raised her head, her eyes still a little dazed, but she quickly sobered up:

Mikita shook the iron umbrella in her hand, which was locked by a layer of black iron chains, but after all, this was just an umbrella; with a slight shake, she threw the iron chains off.

Even so, accompanied by a clicking sound, one of her legs was clearly fractured directly.

Originally, Mikita could only change her own body weight, but after her Devil Fruit Awakening, she could extend this to other objects; developed to the limit, it made this modified iron umbrella infinitely powerful—held in her hand it felt like a blade of grass, but when swung, it was as heavy as a mountain!

"The muddled masses will calm down due to Uchiha Feiyu joining, and those potential enemies of ours will also be greatly intimidated!"

"But if that Uchiha Feiyu comes again... even Holy Land Mary Geoise, I fear, would not be able to stop that monster!"

The Marine Rear Admiral named Ain froze for a moment, nodded, and retracted the flames in her hand:

"I understand, Sister Momousagi."

"Bastard, what are you saying?!! Tina is going to beat you up!"

"Ha, is the Marine out of people? They actually sent a ship of female soldiers!"

Momousagi, standing at the very front, looked even more displeased, and another female Marine Rear Admiral beside her also reached out her hand, with pink flames igniting in her palm, seemingly eager to make a move.

"Leave it to me, Lord Feiyu, hee hee hee, should we teach these Marines a lesson?!"

"Moreover, if we can win over such a powerhouse, it would also be a shot in the arm for the current Marine and the World Government!"

"No need, this Marine warship is not here to fight us; on the contrary, it should have brought some good news!"

Unfortunately, the Five Elders only asked one question: Do you have a way to deal with Uchiha Feiyu? The remaining high-ranking Marine officials were left speechless; let alone the current crippled Marine, even at its peak, if the entire Marine went together, they would have no confidence in winning against Uchiha Feiyu, with an eighty percent chance of being wiped out instead.

Mikita said proudly; although she was originally just a small fry who didn't even know how to use Haki, after having her constitution modified and her Devil Fruit Awakening, her Haki level had increased day by day, and now she was even a cut above Tina, a Marine elite who had studied and trained diligently since childhood.

"What the hell? Why are there only women on this warship?!"

The Five Elders often issued plans that ran counter to justice, and the Marine had long since grown accustomed to this, but this time the plan was truly trampling the entire face of the Marine into the ground, and the Marine naturally did not want to execute it at all.

Since the Marine could not win, then saying anything was useless; the rules of the One Piece World had always been extremely cruel, and the loser had no room to speak regardless.

The high-ranking Marine officials gritted their teeth and accepted this mission, but when it came to who to send, they were in a dilemma; as everyone knew, this guy Uchiha Feiyu could be called the number one malevolent star on the sea, his murderous intent was unparalleled, and hundreds of thousands of people had already died at his hands—if they sent ordinary Marines, what would happen if the other party killed them on a whim?

One must know that the current Marine was truly severely wounded; the high-ranking officials at the general level still maintained nearly half their strength, but the backbone of the headquarters elites had been almost completely wiped out, and every bit of strength was extremely precious and could not be sacrificed in vain for such a matter.
