Chapter 196

~7 min read 1,202 words

"Marshal Sengoku, terrible news!"

"Emperor Luo Xing has suddenly descended upon Impel Down through a strange door!"

"He also used a strange serum to create ten super-giants hundreds of meters tall, and those giants have completely destroyed the First and Second Floors of Impel Down!"

"Most of the prisoners on the Third Floor have even rebelled and submitted to Emperor Luo Xing, and the latter has enhanced them greatly with Monster Cells!"

"Now they are in a final battle on the Fourth Floor against Warden Magellan and Vice Warden Shiryu!"

"Marshal Sengoku, please send troops to reinforce us immediately!"

"Otherwise, the entire Impel Down... the entire underwater prison will be destroyed!!"

The guard's words struck Marshal Sengoku like a thunderclap from a clear sky, leaving his mind instantly blank.

His ears seemed to have gone deaf, filled only with a buzzing tinnitus.

He could hear no other sounds.

"Marshal Sengoku, Marshal Sengoku?!!"

The Den Den Mushi carried the guard's voice, frantic with anxiety.

"What's wrong with you... Ah!!"

The guard suddenly screamed, and the call was cut off.

Only then did Sengoku snap out of it.

His old eyes were already bloodshot, and his body was trembling slightly.

He didn't need to think to know that this reporting guard had surely been killed.

Damn it! Hateful!!

Emperor Luo Xing, son-in-law of Kaido of the Beasts, how on earth did he get to Impel Down!

And what kind of heaven-defying invention is that strange door?

And that serum that turns people into giants hundreds of meters tall!

Where do you get so many heaven-defying inventions? Are you even human, damn it!

Sengoku's mental state collapsed.

He wished he could instantly rush to Luo Xing's side, pry open Luo Xing's brain, and see what exactly was inside!

Although Sengoku had deliberately stayed away from the center of the execution platform and spoken very quietly with the guard just now,

the execution platform was, after all, the focal point of the entire battlefield, so quite a few people noticed that Sengoku's expression was off.

Tsuru was one of them.

As a Navy veteran and Grand Admiral, Tsuru had the qualification and seniority to ask Sengoku.

So Tsuru went up to the execution platform.

Sengoku quietly told her about the situation at Impel Down.

Tsuru was obviously also shocked, even turning pale.

She had witnessed Luo Xing's strength firsthand at Sabaody; being able to match the Conqueror's Haki of the awakened Blackbeard Rayli was absolutely one of the top-tier (King-level) powerhouses in this world!

Luo Xing's two lackeys, a three-sword style swordsman and a Rumble Ball user, were also incredibly formidable.

Impel Down is in danger!

Tsuru urged, "We must send people to reinforce them immediately!"

Sengoku sighed, "At this time, where would the Navy find extra manpower? Besides, it's too late."

"Then what do we do? Are we just going to ignore Impel Down?"

"We must trust Magellan; he is not a man who will easily be defeated!"

Sengoku had great confidence in Magellan's strength.

But Magellan's opponent this time was that Emperor Luo Xing, whose methods were endless and who had caused even Sengoku's mental state to collapse, so this confidence was really not very strong.

Sengoku thought for a moment and said:

"Little Tsuru, go to Mary Geoise yourself and tell the Five Elders and Fleet Admiral Kong about this; have them send people to reinforce Impel Down!"

The Five Elders still have CP0, and Fleet Admiral Kong has two reserve admirals, Momonosuke and Chao Tun.

These are the World Government's hidden combat forces.

Tsuru knew the situation was urgent and immediately headed for Mary Geoise.

Some sharp-eyed people saw Grand Admiral Tsuru leaving with a worried expression and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Could something major have happened on the Navy's side?

169. Blackbeard was dumbfounded; it was clearly my turn first, Emperor Luo Xing!

Sengoku sent Tsuru to Mary Geoise to report the news.

He himself took a few deep breaths, suppressed his inner impatience and worry, and restored his dignified expression, calm as water.

No matter what happened elsewhere, at this very moment in Marineford, the most important thing was to guard against the Whitebeard Pirates!

Sengoku returned to the center of the execution platform and stood solemnly.

As long as he stood there, he was the backbone of the Navy.

If he does not panic, the Navy will not panic.

If he loses his composure, not only will they be unable to save Impel Down, but Marineford itself will likely suffer a great defeat!

Sengoku, known as the Strategist, would certainly not make such a low-level mistake.

He cast all other chaotic thoughts aside and focused entirely on where the Whitebeard Pirates would invade Marineford from.

Why, until now, have the spies sent out by the Navy not reported back?

Could the Whitebeard Pirates also have that strange door of Emperor Luo Xing's?

No, impossible; Whitebeard and Kaido of the Beasts are not on friendly terms.

Intelligence from the New World reports that Kaido and Big Mom have joined forces to plot against Whitebeard's territory.

Shanks the Red seems determined to stop them.

All four Emperors mobilizing is an unprecedented major event.

In short,

the relationship between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beasts Pirates is terrible; from the old grudge between Kaido and Whitebeard on Rocks' ship to the recent killing of Whitebeard's sworn brother, Kozuki Oden, by Kaido's hand.

Saying they are as incompatible as fire and water is no exaggeration.

As the fifth Emperor and Kaido's son-in-law, Luo Xing would never hand over the Qiguaide Sect to the Whitebeard Pirates.

They are not invading from the sea surface, not relying on that strange door, and there is no movement in the sky.

That leaves only one possibility!

The seabed!

The Whitebeard Pirates will attack from beneath the sea!

Sengoku finally realized this and was about to order strict surveillance of the seabed.

Gururu~~

The previously calm sea suddenly began to bubble up in streams.

Immediately, a pirate ship surfaced, followed by another and another.

In an instant, dozens of pirate ships appeared abruptly before the eyes of one hundred thousand marines.

The marines were greatly shocked.

"That is... a Whitebeard pirate ship!"

"Their ships are all coated with a film; they advanced from beneath the sea, which is why they couldn't be observed on the surface!"

While the marines were in shock, more and larger bubbles surged up from the seabed.

Splash~

Huge waves erupted; some marines too close to the shore could not dodge in time and were directly splashed in the face with water.

A ship far larger than any other pirate ship appeared abruptly in mid-air.

And it was directly within the inner circle of the harbor, only about one thousand meters from the execution platform!

Ordinary Marine soldiers turned pale with horror, their faces filled with terror.

"This is the Moby Dick, the ship of Whitebeard, the world's strongest man!"

Thud, thud, thud!!

As if to respond to the marines' fear, heavy sounds of metal on metal came from the Moby Dick.

An incredibly tall and imposing figure appeared on the deck.

His upper body was bare, draped only in a white cape.
