Chapter 189

Without a second word, they all scattered and ran.

After a chaotic battle.

Huang Yuan captured four or five hundred pirates and returned to the Marine Headquarters in high spirits.

When he sat before Fleet Admiral Sengoku and demanded the tenfold salary Sengoku had promised earlier,

Sengoku nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood from sheer rage!

Borsalino, oh Borsalino, you failed to kill the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, and you didn't even catch a single Supernova; you only caught four or five hundred insignificant pirate underlings. How dare you ask for your salary!

Sengoku's anger burned within him, rising to the heavens.

But in the end, Sengoku held back and honestly issued Huang Yuan's tenfold salary.

Because the Summit War was imminent, he hoped Huang Yuan would not continue to slack off during the war with the Whitebeard Pirates as he had this time!

However,

naturally, Sengoku's goodwill and expectations were ultimately misplaced.

163. Im's Killing Intent! Luo Xing, more arrogant than Rocks! Sabo's Collapse!

After dismissing Huang Yuan, Sengoku convened a full meeting of the Seven Warlords the following day.

Of the seven Warlords, everyone except Jinbe the Pirate accepted the Marines' mandatory summons, which gave Sengoku some comfort.

The seven Warlords present were:

Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma;

Hawk Eyes Dracule Mihawk;

Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach;

Whitebeard II Edward Weevil;

The Shadow-Shadow Fruit user Gecko Moria;

and the world's most beautiful pirate, the Empress Boa Hancock.

Sengoku's heavy gaze swept over everyone as he said in a deep voice:

"Tomorrow is the day of Ace's execution, the day of the final battle with the Whitebeard Pirates. I hope you will contribute as much as possible and not let the title of Warlord on your backs go to waste!"

"Zehahaha!"

The first to respond to Sengoku was Blackbeard.

Blackbeard grinned, showing his missing teeth, and said:

"Rest assured, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, we will definitely show Whitebeard our true power!"

As he spoke, a strange light flashed in Blackbeard's eyes.

He would not truly fight for the Marines.

The focus of this Summit War was not Whitebeard and the Marines, but the magnificent stage for Blackbeard to shock the world!

Blackbeard had already formulated a plan.

Once this meeting ended, he would quietly leave Marineford and head for Impel Down.

He would subdue the most vicious criminals on the Sixth Floor, and then return to Marineford.

By then, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines should have inflicted mutual damage on each other.

Zehahaha, that would be the time for Blackbeard to reap the benefits!

Blackbeard's calculations were very beautiful.

Unfortunately, he did not know that he was not the only one eyeing Impel Down; Luo Xing was there too!

"Speaking of which, Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

Blackbeard continued:

"I heard that the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago. You Marines and the World Government sent important combat forces to capture him, but all returned empty-handed. Is that true?"

Sengoku's face immediately darkened as he said:

"That is none of your business, Blackbeard!"

And when Blackbeard mentioned Luo Xing's name, three people in the room showed unusual expressions.

One was naturally the Empress, whose heart had been completely captured by Luo Xing.

The Empress cast a cold glance at Blackbeard and thought:

"This ugly and disgusting creature dares to speak the name of my beloved one directly; it is utterly presumptuous!"

The other who showed an unusual expression was Gecko Moria.

Moria had already secretly submitted to Luo Xing; his participation in this meeting was also under Luo Xing's instructions.

During tomorrow's Summit War, his main tasks were:

first, to observe the Marines' combat power, and second, to keep an eye on Blackbeard.

Try his best to prevent Blackbeard's conspiracy from succeeding.

Therefore, the look Moria directed at Blackbeard at that moment was also quite unfriendly.

The last one with an unusual expression was Hawk Eyes.

Hawk Eyes was the first person outside to see Luo Xing's true appearance.

Back in the East Blue, he had already met Luo Xing.

At that time, he had keenly sensed that the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing was a man of immeasurable capacity and extremely far-sighted vision.

Hawk Eyes felt a bit puzzled.

That man was not someone who acted with high profile; why did he appear so brazenly in Sabaody this time?

It seemed as if he was deliberately attracting the attention of the Marines and the World Government.

What was his true purpose?

Is it related to the massive war that swept across the entire world?

Hawk Eyes was curious and also harbored some hidden concerns.

Even his Observation Haki, the strongest among swordsmen in his world, could not see through the future Luo Xing intended to create.

At the same time.

Holy Land Mary Geoise.

The Five Elders received a report from the CP0 leader; just as the latter had predicted, the Five Elders scolded him severely.

Trembling with fear, CP0 then told the Five Elders the very last words Luo Xing had spoken before leaving.

The Five Elders immediately flew into such a rage that they overturned the table.

"What! That bastard actually dares to tell the Celestial Dragons to best not leave Mary Geoise, or else kill one for one?!"

"Damn it! Detestable! Even Rocks back in those days was not so arrogant!"

Rocks was the overlord of the seas before Pirate King Luo Jie.

Of the current Four Emperors—Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom—three were once his subordinates.

Furthermore, including the legendary great pirate Golden Lion, Wang Zhi, Captain John, and others, all were once his underlings.

One can imagine how terrifying Rocks' power was back then.

Yet even such a terrifying Rocks, before attacking God Valley, did not possess Luo Xing's audacity, nor did he display such a posture of intending to wipe out the Celestial Dragons completely!

The Five Elders, unable to contain their fury, scolded CP0 once again.

Then, the Five Elders hurriedly rushed to the palace of my lord Imu.

The Five Elders, who had just been so high and mighty, now knelt and prostrated themselves respectfully on the ground.

Sweating profusely, they reported the situation at Sabaody and Luo Xing's audacious words to my lord Imu.

The spiral-patterned pupils in Imu's eyes clearly revealed boundless fury.

"A presumptuous young man! Killing all the Celestial Dragons? Even Joy Boy eight hundred years ago never accomplished this!"

If speaking of the Celestial Dragons' greatest enemy, it is actually not Rocks, nor Pirate King Luo Jie, but Joy Boy from eight hundred years ago!

But even Joy Boy failed to rewrite the outcome of the Celestial Dragons ruling the world for eight hundred years.

That Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, though he invented some heaven-defying devices, without consuming that Sun God Nika Fruit, is destined not to be Joy Boy.

What courage and qualification does he have to rashly claim he will kill all the Celestial Dragons?!

Imu, suppressing his anger, said:

"You just said that the two unknown subordinates following Fifth Emperor Luo Xing also possess the strength to challenge an Admiral of the Navy?"

The Five Elders trembled as they said, "Yes, my lord Imu."

"Kaido, Luo Xing, the Three Calamities, and now two more people have been added..."
