Chapter 317

Looking at the nine ill-intentioned people, Staff Staff Sabo frowned tightly. He had expected the Navy to intercept them, but instead, it was people he had never seen before.

"Who are you..."

"Heh, no need to ask. Dead people don't need to know that much!" After saying this, the leader of the Holy Knights punched toward Staff Staff Sabo.

Staff Staff Sabo’s pupils constricted, and he shouted: "Dragon Claw!"

Boom~

The battle broke out instantly.

The first attack was just a probe, and Staff Staff Sabo’s expression turned solemn.

If he wasn't mistaken, these people were the Holy Knights mentioned by Mr. Dragon. Each of them possessed power not inferior to an Admiral candidate, and the one who attacked just now was at least at the Admiral level.

"Morley, Lindbergh, take Mr. Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma and go first! Karasu, come help!"

"Alright! Staff Staff Sabo, then we're leaving!"

Without any hesitation, Morley and Lindbergh dove into the ground with Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma. The other Holy Knights tried to pursue, but were blocked by Karasu.

"Logia?"

Karasu didn't speak, but his body constantly atomized into a pile of coal ash, condensing dozens of giant coal-ash swords to throw at the Holy Knights.

On the other side, flames ignited behind Staff Staff Sabo as he began to clash with the leader of the Holy Knights.

"Hmph! No wonder you dared to stay behind to cover the retreat. So it's two Logia users. It seems you aren't just little bugs after all!"

Staff Staff Sabo grinned: "Say whatever you want. Dragon's Breath!!!"

Staff Staff Sabo coated his forearms with Armament Haki, touched his fists to the ground, and then, using a zero-distance attack similar to a short-range strike, he punched the ground at high speed. This exerted a powerful force on a single point, causing the ground to shatter with Staff Staff Sabo at the center. Finally, this power erupted in one go, destroying the entire ground Move Move Like a dragon's breath, while simultaneously creating massive smoke and explosions that collapsed the rock layers downward.

Boom, boom, boom~

This area collapsed instantly, showing just how powerful this move was.

Staff Staff Sabo could have left directly with Karasu, but he remembered Mr. Dragon saying that the Holy Knights were the World Government's trump card. If they could get a rough idea of their strength, the Revolutionary Army would be better prepared.

So he decided to linger for a while to test the strength of the Holy Knights. Of course, if the Navy arrived, he would have to run.

"Everyone, please don't panic. I guarantee on my honor as a Navy Hero that you will be absolutely fine. Please trust me, trust the Navy."

Karl helplessly comforted the terrified representatives of the allied nations and their families. Fortunately, his reputation was great, and everyone trusted him. After a brief moment of panic, they slowly calmed down.

"Admiral Karl, what is the situation outside? Have the revolutionaries already reached Mary Geoise?"

Karl waved his hand: "Rest assured, absolutely not. According to reports, the Revolutionary Army came to Mary Geoise this time only to declare war on the World Government. The commotion outside right now should be the World Government capturing these Revolutionary Army officers."

"As long as everyone stays here, you are safe. Once the Navy's reinforcements arrive, I believe the Revolutionary Army will be suppressed very soon. Please wait patiently."

Hearing this, everyone present immediately felt relieved. They still trusted the power of the Navy; after all, a large part of the reason they were willing to pay protection money was that the Navy could protect their countries. As for the World Government, although they had the CP departments, well... better not to mention it.

Brrr, brrr, brrr~

Karl picked up the phone: "You've arrived? Where are you?"

"Alright, I'm at the emergency shelter on the southwest side. Bring your people over!"

After Karl hung up, a king asked impatiently: "Admiral Karl, is that the Navy's reinforcements?"

Karl nodded: "That's right. Fleet Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan has sent Admiral Kizaru and Admiral Fujitora, along with five Vice Admirals, to protect your safety. They will be here shortly."

That king breathed a sigh of relief; now he finally didn't have to live in fear.

Five minutes later, Kizaru and Fujitora arrived with five Vice Admirals.

"With such a big thing happening, you still look so relaxed, Karl-san."

Karl shrugged: "You've come just in time. Admiral Kizaru, leave the Revolutionary Army side to you. They should be fighting the Holy Knights right now. Go over and help out, but don't try too hard. I think you understand what I mean."

Hoo~

Kizaru pursed his lips, stared at his fingertips, and said with an indifferent look: "Sigh~ What a pity~ I was prepared to have a big fight, you know?"

Karl: ......

If Fujitora had said this, Karl might have believed him, but coming from Kizaru, why did he find it so hard to believe?

A big fight? I think you just want to slack off!

"As long as you're happy. Then I'll leave it to you."

Kizaru pouted, flashed, and disappeared from the spot.

Then Karl turned his gaze to Fujitora: "Issho-san, I'll leave this place to you. Your mission is to protect these representatives of the World Government allied nations. There shouldn't be any issues, after all, there are only four revolutionaries."

Issho nodded silently: "Rest assured, little friend Karl, just leave it to this old man."

Karl smiled, patted Fujitora on the shoulder, and brushed past him.

"Vice Admiral Momonga, Vice Admiral Onigumo... I'll leave this place to you."

"Don't worry, Karl. If the Revolutionary Army dares to come, I guarantee they won't be able to leave!"

Then, Karl walked to Shirahoshi’s side and comforted her...

10 minutes later.

Karl arrived at the battle scene. Kizaru was picking his nails on the side, looking idle.

Watching Staff Staff Sabo and Karasu fighting the Holy Knights, Karl couldn't help but rub his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The Holy Knights indeed had some substance, but as for their specific strength, he still needed to observe more.

"Yo, you've come to watch the show too? I thought you were planning to come over!"

Karl laughed: "Fujitora is over there, so I didn't have anything to do. Might as well come over and see the situation here. Tsk, the Revolutionary Army’s strength is indeed quite good! No wonder they dared to break into Mary Geoise with only four people!"

"Four people? Where are the four people? I only see two of them," Kizaru said, puzzled.

"Then those two must be the ones staying behind to cover the retreat; the others should have run away."
