Chapter 158: Saint Saturn the Idiot

Holy Land Mary Geoise, the Ancient City of Pan Gu.

Inside the spacious and bright palace, the Four Elders no longer struck poses; instead, they crowded onto two sofas, staring at the Den Den Mushi on the table.

"Saint Saturn, hurry and bring reinforcements."

"Sakazuki is critically injured and near death; Sengoku and Garp are holding off Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen; Saint Garling is being ganged up on."

"What exactly are you doing? How could Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen kidnap Saint Elain again?"

"Hurry and seek support from my lord Imu. Request that my lord Imu descend to Marineford, or we will all die here."

"Answer me!"

"What are you eating for your brains!"

Having spent hundreds of years together, Saint Saturn had never seen Saint Natsu Shurou so furious; he was momentarily at a loss for words.

Is Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen really that powerful?

With just seven people and two interns, they've driven the Navy's high-end combat power to the brink of suffering?

Even Saint Garling is being ganged up on?

Saint Vochuli was the first to take over the conversation: "Saint Natsu Shurou, we will immediately go to request an audience with my lord Imu. You hold on a little longer."

The Den Den Mushi cursed and grumbled.

"I could indeed continue to hold on, but if you do not act immediately, Saint Garling will definitely be hacked to death."

Beep beep beep beep beep~

Watching the Den Den Mushi that Saint Natsu Shurou had actively hung up, Saint Vochuli stood up and said.

"Everyone, let's go."

"Go to the Flower Room to pay homage to my lord Imu, and ask my lord Imu for instructions: whether to descend to Marineford, or for the four of us to mobilize simultaneously."

Saint Saturn followed gloomily behind Saint Vochuli, seemingly already aware that punishment was imminent.

Upon arriving at the Flower Room.

The Four Elders knelt down one after another, quickly recounting Saint Natsu Shurou's request.

"Oh?" Imu's voice carried its own reverb.

"Saturn, are you certain he is not a D?"

Saint Saturn's forehead pressed against the cold ground.

"My lord Imu."

"According to our investigation, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen has no connection whatsoever with the D Clan."

"He grew up in Housha Town in the East Sea since childhood. Because he was an orphan, he was often bullied by the local hooligans. At nine years old, he accepted Luo Jie's invitation to become the cook of the Luo Jie Pirates."

Receiving a definite reply, Imu rose and left the Empty Wang Zuo: "You all prepare to hand over the hostage."

The four Elders responded in unison.

"Yes, my lord Imu."

Only after Imu left did Saint Saturn lift his head; his forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

Saint Saturn felt an inexplicable unease in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen, yet he had no clue whatsoever at the moment.

Saint Saturn suspected: The intelligence information Saint Natsu Shurou reported just now must have been withheld; he did not reveal the key intelligence.

What exactly was it?

How could Sakazuki have been defeated so quickly?!

Speaking of two separate threads, after successfully seeking reinforcements, Saint Natsu Shurou, riding his four horse legs, charged back into the battlefield. Just as he was about to regain his momentum—

He was surrounded head-on by three flying slash attacks.

Saint Natsu Shurou hurriedly raised the Shusui to block, but was numbed in his arm by the overflowing blade light, and black mist constantly rose from his chest.

Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen was currently facing off against Garp and Sengoku; yet an attack casually flung out was this fierce?

Simply unmatched.

Stronger than Rocks of that year, isn't he? How could such a monster be born on the Grand Line?

Saint Natsu Shurou did not understand.

He, who possessed immortality, had enjoyed how many years of the flourishing vitality of all things,

and cultivated bitterly for how many years, yet was still not equal to a nineteen-year-old pirate.

No, not even nineteen yet.

According to the intelligence sent back by the Lucky Star... the Lucky Star killed five Celestial Dragons, awakened Conqueror's Haki, and had obviously Rebel Against the World Government—

Officially joining Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's ranks.

Damn it.

Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's charm is actually this great? Even a spy can be subdued by him?

It's all thanks to that idiot Saint Saturn, acting all arrogant and cocky like he's some big shot all day long, when in reality he's just a huge idiot.

Not only did he fund Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen with resources.

He also sent talent over!

Since he cannot be defeated by force, Saint Natsu Shurou decided to temporarily avoid the sharp edge and wait for my lord Imu to possess him; at that time, he would definitely make Barzab Seven witness—

What the strongest in the world truly is.

When Saint Natsu Shurou sneakily slipped into the scene, he did not actively help Aokiji, but instead, with flickering eyes, pondered which battlefield was safer.

Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen was ruled out first; even with Garp and Sengoku holding him back, it remained the most dangerous.

Shiki... uses Armament Haki.

Mihawk and the other two were currently ganging up on Saint Garling.

At this moment, Saint Garling's head, chest, and torso were covered in wounds left by Mihawk's Armament Haki sword technique that were difficult to heal, looking quite miserable.

Clearly, they had been chopped into speed bumps once again by Mihawk, Kuma, and Yuzhi Xiliu.

Having undergone half a year of repeated military training by Saint Saint Saiwen, Kizaru, and Loki in Elbaf, Mihawk's control over Conqueror's Haki Infusion had improved remarkably.

It was not hard to see that the progress was indeed immense, given that he had fought Yellow Monkey at full strength for half a day without a victor.

"You lowly commoners."

Just as Saint Garling cursed in rage, he was stabbed solidly in the back by Yuzhi Xiliu using the Teleportation Fruit ability.

Although Yuzhi Xiliu had not yet mastered the top-tier attack method of Conqueror's Infusion level,

on the Marine side,

apart from Sengoku and Garp, who could barely resist Observation Haki Killing, everyone else's Observation Haki was completely disrupted, making the advantages of the Teleportation Fruit undeniably apparent.

"Saint Natsusorou, come quickly to save me."

Hearing the call, Saint Natsusorou had no choice but to make a decision and rendezvous with Saint Garling.

"Saint Garling, support is arriving immediately."

The reason Saint Natsusorou leaked the message was that he felt secure and fearless in his heart.

Any powerful enemy,

even Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, still counted for nothing before Imu, my lord.

Moreover, on the various small battlefields, the Marines' defeat was too obvious; this must be used to restore morale.

The Marines are, after all, a violent organization under the leadership of the World Government. With Akainu's life or death currently unknown, if all three Admirals fell in this battle, the loss for the World Government would be unbearable.

There are countless powerful figures on the seas, but loyal dogs who are both powerful and obedient are one in ten thousand.

Without the three Marine Admirals, how could the World Government better control the seas and thereby intimidate the pirates?

The World Conscription that Sengoku applied for previously is indeed worth considering after this battle; at the very least, the vacant Admiral position of Akainu must be filled.

It would be best to recruit a Marine Admiral who is utterly loyal to the World Government and vows to protect the existing order to the death.

On the true main battlefield,

Garp and Sengoku helplessly discovered that even combining all of their Conqueror's Haki, they still could not break through Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's Conqueror's Haki defense.

Sengoku was, after all, not peak Luo Jie.

If it were peak Luo Jie and peak Garp, perhaps there would be a fifty percent chance of breaking through the defense.

Garp tore off the cape behind him; countless stones flew up from beneath his feet, and black-red lightning exploded in all directions.

The death of fifty thousand Marines completely shattered the luck and hope in Garp's heart; whether Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen could defeat Imu no longer mattered.

An explanation must be given to the fifty thousand Marines.

"Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen."

"Your path ends here."

The iron fist covered in black-red Haki suddenly unleashed countless afterimages, smashing like a violent storm against the layers of invisible barriers before Saint Saint Saiwen.

"Wuxian Quan Gu."

During the God Valley Great War, Garp had relied on Wuxian Quan Gu and Luo Jie's Fire Kagutsuchi, pouring out all their Conqueror's Haki, to defeat the demonized Rocks.

The old friend has passed away.

Now, only Garp remains.

Luo Jie, you have raised a calamity.

Even as Garp burned with full power, with Fleet Admiral Sengoku assisting in the attack beside him, they still could not break Saint Saint Saiwen's Conqueror's Haki defense.

At this moment, a full day had passed since the Battle of Marineford began.

The ground was covered with dense trenches, traces left by the aftermath of the battle, and the Marine Headquarters buildings had long since turned into a sea of ruins.

Suddenly, a fragmented ink-style scene appeared before Saint Saint Saiwen's eyes—

A black shadow appeared above Saint Natsusorou's body, and three black spikes drilled out from behind the shadow...

The black spikes were aimed directly at Mihawk, Kuma, and Yuzhi Xiliu, who were fighting fiercely with Saint Natsusorou and Saint Garling.

"Finally, it has come."
