Chapter 316

Brrr, brrr, brrr~

Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan, who was busy reviewing documents, looked up at the Den Den Mushi. It was a "handsome" one; in this world, the only person who could make a Den Den Mushi look this dashing was Karl.

Before even answering the call, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan had a bad premonition. With the Reverie currently underway, could some other accident have happened?

Gulp~

"It's me, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan. Speak, what happened?"

"Nothing major. Just that the Revolutionary Army broke into the Reverie venue and formally declared war on the World Government in front of all the representatives of the allied nations. Hahaha, the Five Elders must be absolutely stunned, hahaha."

Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan’s face darkened. You call *this* nothing major?

What does it mean for the Revolutionary Army to declare war on the World Government? It means war.

And war brings death and chaos.

Even if the Navy no longer needs to be the World Government's enforcers, once war breaks out, no one can be spared. No one!

"Hoo~" Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"What’s the situation now? Have the revolutionaries already attacked Mary Geoise?"

"Not exactly."

That was a relief. Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan’s hanging heart finally settled. His biggest fear was the Revolutionary Army taking advantage of the Reverie to slaughter the representatives of the allied nations, as that would make their operations across the world much easier.

As it stands, they haven't gone to such extremes yet.

Of course, it’s also possible the Revolutionary Army doesn't dare to. After all, with Karl stationed in Mary Geoise, even Kaido would have to take a couple of slaps to the face before leaving. The revolutionaries shouldn't be that stupid.

"The Revolutionary Army seems to have come purely to declare war. At least for now, they haven't caused any..."

Boom, boom~

Before Karl could finish his sentence, an explosion sounded not far away.

Karl: ......

Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan: ......

"I'll send people over immediately."

"Mm."

The call ended. Karl couldn't help but look toward the direction of the explosion. The place that just exploded bore the symbol of the Celestial Dragons—the Hoof of the Celestial Dragon.

It was located atop the highest building in Mary Geoise; now, it had become a pile of rubble.

After a moment of thought, Karl decided to leave the Revolutionary Army alone for now. As long as he protected the representatives of the allied nations, that was enough. Even if the Navy wanted to fight, they would wait until Fujitora and the others arrived.

Besides, don't the Celestial Dragons still have the Holy Knights? Let that group handle it. It would be a perfect chance for Karl to see just how much substance this so-called "strongest trump card" of the Celestial Dragons actually has.

On the other side.

"Well done, Staff Staff Sabo! Next, we should go save Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma, right?"

Staff Staff Sabo nodded firmly: "That's right. Our final mission is to bring Mr. Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma out of Mary Geoise and back to the Kamabakka Kingdom!"

As a side note, there were four Revolutionary Army officers who infiltrated Mary Geoise this time: Chief of Staff Staff Staff Sabo, West Army Commander Morley, South Army Commander Lindbergh, and North Army Commander Karasu. It could be said that all their elites were out.

North Army Commander Karasu was a tall, burly, and cold-looking bald man with extremely pale skin, wearing a beak-shaped mask embedded with metal. He wore a black feather coat over his upper body and dark black trousers. He didn't look Move Move Like a good person, but his strength was terrifying.

Because he was a Logia-type Coal-Coal Fruit user, he could create and control coal ash. He could turn any part of his body into granular coal ash and shape the released ash—as well as his own body—into various forms, the most common being crows. These coal-ash crows possessed both flight and attack capabilities.

Furthermore, the coal-ash crows had communication functions.

He reached out his hand, and a crow flew into it, chirped something, and then he nodded; the crow in his hand dissipated.

"Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma is to the southwest. There are two Celestial Dragons beside him."

Staff Staff Sabo said without hesitation: "Let's go!"

The group immediately dove into the ground and rushed toward Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma’s direction.

Not long after the four Revolutionary Army officers left, nine tall figures arrived at the spot where they had tunneled away.

The man in the lead said in a deep, resonant voice: "They left just a moment ago."

The man standing beside him looked down at the ground and stomped his foot down hard.

Accompanied by a loud bang, a large hole appeared in the ground, but it was just a large hole; there was no way to tell where the Revolutionary Army had run off to.

"Tch, what a troublesome ability."

"Just wait for them Move Move Like waiting for a rabbit by a tree. Unless they are solely focused on escaping, they will eventually show their flaws."

"Father, what happened? Why are we going home? Didn't you say you were going to help me file a complaint against that damn Navy officer?"

Saint Rosward, sitting on Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma, said with a look of disappointment: "Don't you know the Revolutionary Army is here? Those people are all vicious criminals. We'll talk about the complaint later. Be good, let's go home first. Once things settle down, I promise to make that Navy officer pay."

"Hehehe, okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Father."

Bang~

The ground in front of the father and son suddenly shattered, and the four Revolutionary Army officers burst out from the ground, appearing before them.

Saint Rosward gulped, looked at the four ill-intentioned people, and shouted in terror: "Y-you, who are you? What do you want?"

"We are the Revolutionary Army..."

"The Revolutionary Army!!!"

Saint Rosward’s face changed, and he immediately shouted: "Someone come quickly! The Revolutionary Army has appeared! Kill them at once!"

Staff Staff Sabo frowned, raised his flaming fist, and blasted it toward Rosward.

Bang~

"Ouch~ It's hot, it's hot!"

After Rosward was sent flying, his body caught fire, causing him to roll on the ground. His son was stunned, taking a long time to react.

"Father! Father, are you okay?"

Karasu said coldly: "Kill them! We’ve already declared war on the World Government, haven't we?"

"Right, that's correct. Only when a Celestial Dragon dies will the news spread across the entire sea!"

Staff Staff Sabo nodded slightly, retracted his arm into a punching stance, and after accumulating a large amount of fire at the tip of his fist, he swung it forward with force, releasing the gathered flames in one go to form a massive, high-temperature flaming arm.

"Fire Fist!"

Charlos widened his eyes and was then swallowed by the flames. Rosward, who was behind him, was also caught in the blast, and the father and son were instantly roasted.

Amidst the screams and wails, the father and son turned to ash.

Throughout this process, Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma never made a move, just lying on the ground, quietly watching it all.

"Mr. Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma! Mr. Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma, can you hear me? Do you remember me? It's Staff Staff Sabo!"

No matter how Staff Staff Sabo called out, Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma remained motionless.

Morley, standing to the side, sighed and patted Staff Staff Sabo on the shoulder: "Forget it, Staff Staff Sabo. Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma won't respond to you. Let's just take him back first and let Chief Dragon take a look!"

Bang~ The ground shattered, and nine tall figures descended from the sky, appearing before the four and blocking their path.

"You want to run after killing a World Noble? You are underestimating the power of the World Government too much!"

"Little bugs of the Revolutionary Army!"
