Chapter 180

He had seen many news reports about the young man before him in newspapers long ago.

He invented the Strange Man Cell, the Senzu Bean, and other heaven-defying items, and was hailed as a scientist greater than Vegapunk.

Using the Senzu Bean Auction as a pretext, he killed Doflamingo and seized Dressrosa.

Afterwards, he even seized Punk Hazard, killed one of the Seven Warlords, Crocodile, and even wiped out the World Government's secret organization, CP9!

This young man is a terrifying figure who combines intellect, skill, and strength; one must never underestimate him simply because he is young!

Silently understanding this, Shanks treated Luo Xing with the same solemn caution he would show Kaido of the Beasts.

He replied in a deep voice:

"The world indeed needs to be changed, but the one to change it is not you, and certainly not Kaido of the Beasts!"

Before his death, Captain Luo Jie once told Silas,

that the one to change the world in the future must be a person of the D family, a man who inherits his Straw Hat will!

And that prophesied child of fate is present here right now.

Silas glanced at Luffy, at the straw hat on Luffy's head, revealing a nostalgic look.

Luo Jie passed the straw hat to Shanks; Shanks eventually obtained the Nika Fruit, but accidentally had it eaten by Monkey D. Luffy.

Bearing the name D, having eaten the Sun God Nika Fruit, and with Shanks having given Luo Jie's straw hat to him...

Without a doubt,

this boy named Monkey D. Luffy is the man who will ultimately change the world!

Everything was destined in the unseen; Silas believed this without a doubt.

However,

Luo Xing scoffed at this!

What nonsense about heavenly destiny!

Such a doctrine of fate, such a doctrine of bloodline, what difference is there from the Celestial Dragons who defecate and urinate over all beings from birth?!

Truly a most boring ideology!

A mocking curve rose on Luo Xing's lips; he too glanced at Straw Hat Luffy, saying with a hint of amusement:

"Silas, you seem to believe very firmly that only this boy can change the world... but, what if I kill him right now?"

Upon hearing these words,

the Straw Hat crew was shocked and pale.

Sanji, Franky, Usopp, and others tensed their entire bodies, watching Luo Xing with caution.

Even Luffy himself, who fears neither heaven nor earth, grew grave in expression.

Though Luffy is sometimes foolish, he is not naive.

If this legendary Emperor Luo Xing intends to kill him, then he will face extreme peril!

Silas's expression turned as still as water, his eyes becoming extremely alert as he said in a deep voice:

"Then I, an old man, will use my life to protect the spark of the future!"

Silas intended to protect Straw Hat Luffy's safety even at the cost of his own life.

This was within Luo Xing's expectations.

After all, Straw Hat Luffy wears the straw hat, inherits the so-called Pirate King's will, and has eaten the Nika Fruit; he is the child of destiny.

He has far too many auras and buffs on his person.

Unfortunately, Luo Xing is a man who does not believe in fate.

Luo Xing said with amusement:

"Then please, Elder Silas and Straw Hat Luffy, go die together."

He slowly drew Enma, appearing as if he truly intended to wipe out Straw Hat Luffy completely.

As he drew Enma,

Enel, who had long been unable to suppress his fighting impulse, immediately shouted:

"Young Master, let me handle this ungrateful old man!"

Zoro also drew his three swords, grinning and saying:

"I came out this time specifically to test the results of my cultivation. Having the legendary Silas as a test subject is truly perfect!"

Boom!

Fierce thunder and powerful sword intent shot up from both of them!

The entire roof of the auction house was instantly destroyed!

Silas's face changed abruptly.

His Observation Haki had previously sensed that Zoro and Enel were strong, but he never expected them to be this strong.

It gave him a feeling of extreme danger at this very moment!

Just these two alone would be enough to hold him back.

And that Emperor Luo Xing would take the opportunity to strike at Luffy.

Can Luffy withstand it?

No, it is impossible to withstand!

Emperor Luo Xing is said to have mastered the coating of Conqueror's Haki; how could a mere young boy like Luffy, who does not even know what Haki is, resist?

Silas, usually calm and wise, could not help but feel anxious.

Could the heir chosen by Luo Jie and Shanks die here today?

Could the Sun God Nika be strangled in the cradle?

Could it be that Luffy is ultimately not Joyboy?

In this very moment,

even the Underworld King, Lei Li, felt lost regarding the future.

157. CP0 mobilizes! The Five Elders' Decision! A clash of Conqueror's Haki leaves the Supernovas stunned!

Just as the atmosphere in the auction house suddenly became incredibly tense.

Among the guards who had just protected the Celestial Dragons, one escaped.

He scrambled out in terror, his face filled with fear, his hands trembling as he pulled out a Den Den Mushi.

As a guard protecting the Celestial Dragons, he possessed the Five Elders' phone number.

This call was made directly to the Five Elders.

"My Lords, Saint Roswald, Saint Charlos, and Princess Shakuyaku have all been killed! They were killed by that Yonko, Luo Xing!"

Within the halls of power, the Five Elders, upon hearing this, immediately flew into a rage.

Their faces turned purple as they slammed the table before them into powder!

"Damn it! To dare kill Celestial Dragons right under our noses, so brazenly! This is simply too arrogant!"

The old man holding a sword said:

"Although three Celestial Dragons are dead, that Luo Xing has finally revealed himself. He is no longer hiding in Wano Country, without the protection of Kaido of the Beasts. We finally have a chance to kill him!"

Another person agreed:

"We can finally complete the task entrusted to us by my Lord Imu."

"Call Sengoku immediately and order him to send an Admiral!"

"One Admiral is probably not safe enough; it is best if all three Admirals go together."

"That cannot be done. The Whitebeard Pirates are about to arrive. If we send all the Admirals, Marineford will be in danger!"

In the end,

the Five Elders decided to send CP0, the World Government's highest intelligence agency, to assist the Navy.

CP0 is hailed as the Celestial Dragons' strongest shield.

Their leader is also a powerful figure, no weaker than a Navy Admiral!

The Five Elders called Sengoku and learned that Sengoku had already dispatched Admiral Huang Yuan and Grand Strategist Tsuru, and heard that the Warlord of the Sea, the Tyrant Kuma, had also gone along.

The Five Elders could not help but reveal a satisfied smile.

With Huang Yuan, Tsuru, and Kuma, plus the strongest CP0, this combat power could basically roam the seas freely.

And according to the guard's report just now, over at Sabaody, the Yonko Luo Xing brought only two unknown lackeys, not the famous Three Scourges or the Tobiroppo.

Comparing the combat power of both sides, the odds of victory for the Government and the Navy are clearly extremely high!

Oh, and there is that difficult Pirate Empress; it is heard she is very close to the Yonko Luo Xing.

But if that woman does not want her kingdom of Amazon Lily to be destroyed, she absolutely dares not openly oppose the Government.
