Chapter 210

Sabaody Archipelago, Island 60.

Marine Temporary Headquarters.

In the Marshal's office, Sengoku, with messy white hair like a bird's nest, wore a frown that infected those around him.

"Saint Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen is about to arrive."

"Tell me, what should we do?"

Sengoku actually understood: from the moment Barzab Zeb became Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, the Marines had no choice unless they Rebel Against the World Government.

They must receive him with the honors reserved for Celestial Dragons.

Even though he is the executioner who destroyed Marineford, slaughtered fifty thousand elite Marines, and hundreds of officers, the Marines must still receive him with the highest honors.

This is only because the former Pirate King Barzab Zeb is now called Barzab Zeb, Saint Saint Saint Saiwen.

Saint Saint Saint Saiwen is not only a Celestial Dragon but also the Raiden Shogun of Inazuma, a World Government member nation, and the sole supplier of the Marines' Sea Prism Stone products.

Once Saint Saint Saint Saiwen is angered, he can cut off the Sea Prism Stone supply at any time.

Without the Sea Prism Stone supply, how will newly built Marine warships cross the Calm Belt, and how will they limit Devil Fruit users?

The Marines seem to have their testicles grasped.

Damn it!

Garp picked his nose, clearly unwilling to speak on this topic.

Admiral Tsuru frowned tightly.

As for the other three Admirals, Akainu is still receiving treatment at Vegapunk's laboratory.

Kizaru and Aokiji are guarding Mary Geoise and will escort Saint Saint Saint Saiwen to the Marine Temporary Headquarters after the World Conference ends.

The remaining headquarters officers fell silent for a moment.

After a long while, Admiral Tsuru sighed.

"We... at least for now, have no choice."

Actually, the Marine high command all understood this logic; they just could not accept Barzab Zeb's humiliation of the Marines, stepping on the Marines' dignity repeatedly.

Kill the person and stab the heart!

Tsuru didn't understand: are the World Government, especially the Five Elders, pigs?

Can they not see Barzab Zeb's intentions?

Yet the World Government issued orders in advance, commanding the Marines to prepare for receiving Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, or they would deduct the Marine budget.

Calling the Five Elders stupid as pigs is an insult to pigs.

The Five Elders are simply extremely foolish.

Barzab Zeb first destroyed Marineford, slaughtered fifty thousand Marines and hundreds of officers, nearly breaking the Marines' backbone, and now he has transformed into Saint Saint Saint Saiwen.

Admiral Tsuru didn't need to think to know why Barzab Zeb came: to cancel the bounties of the Morning Star Gang.

Moreover, Barzab Zeb could have notified them by phone, yet he chose to arrive in person; even a three-year-old child can see the intention behind it.

This is to trample the Marines' justice underfoot and shatter the Marines' soul.

In the silence, Zephyr's Coarse and Heavy panting rose and fell, obviously triggered by his asthma from anger.

Enel, standing behind Zephyr, hurriedly took out asthma-suppressing medicine from his pocket.

"Sensei Zephyr."

Enel finally understood why the Lord Lei Shen had specifically instructed him when sending him to infiltrate the Marines back then.

The name Barzab Zeb, Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, is the most evil rogue for the Marines, an existence that the Marine high command would love to skin and strip the tendons from.

Truly worthy of the Lord Lei Shen...

Even though he is not the Lei Shen on Skypiea, he is still a top-tier figure in the Blue Sea.

Through learning during this period, Enel has gained some understanding of the situation on the seas and major events of the past decade or so.

The Lord Lei Shen simultaneously occupies Honeycomb Island and Inazuma, making him the most powerful force in the New World.

His personal bounty of 5.2 billion is the highest among living pirates currently.

Second only to the Pirate King Roger.

However, the bounties of the entire Morning Star Gang are about to be canceled by the Lord Lei Shen arriving personally at the Marine Headquarters.

Combining the Lord Lei Shen's experience of destroying the former Marine Headquarters, Enel even wants to kill the Lord Lei Shen.

He is too inhumane.

After a long silence, Sengoku made the final decision.

"Order the headquarters Marines to fully cooperate with CP agents and ensure preparations for receiving Saint Saint Saint Saiwen are complete."

"Meeting adjourned."

Mary Geoise, Red Line.

After a month, the World Government member nation conference, held once every four years, concluded successfully.

The kings of member nations who came to attend the conference did not rush to leave; instead, they gathered in small groups to conduct cooperation and trade negotiations.

After all, there is no place safer on the seas for negotiations than Mary Geoise.

After concluding several Sea Prism Stone purchase orders, Saint Saint Saiwen boarded the Donghai Dihuang, accompanied by Kizaru, heading to the Marine Temporary Headquarters.

Through this World Conference,

Saint Saint Saiwen discovered that many member nations of the World Government were not as powerful as he imagined.

On the seas, there are at most ten strong nations like Alabasta, including Dressrosa, Fish-Man Island, Flower Country, and Germa.

Dressrosa had its participation eligibility temporarily canceled because it was usurped by the Beasts Pirates and Doflamingo.

Super-large powers such as Elbaf and Wano are currently not World Government member nations,

If Saint Saint Saiwen had not become the Shogun of Wano and joined the World Government, Wano would not be either.

Another interesting phenomenon is: super-large powers and large powers often possess scarce or monopolized resources.

Elbaf has the Sacred Tree Adam, Wano is the sole source of Seastone, and Whole Cake Island is the nation with the least shortage of food on the Grand Line.

Germa possesses advanced technology, Fish-Man Island's Fish-Men are the favorites of the sea, Alabasta is one of the Original Twenty Kings, and Dressrosa has the craftsmanship of the Dwarf Tribe.

Even Saint Saint Saiwen's Sky Island has gold, and the Furry Kingdom has the Fur Tribe's Moon Lion transformation.

If judged by the standard for evaluating great powers,

Wano with the Morning Star Corps qualifies as a super-large power like Elbaf; the Furry Kingdom and Sky Island barely qualify as large powers.

This time attending the World Conference,

Combined with the God's-eye view, it gave him a full understanding of the strength of each member nation under the World Government.

Previously, the God's-eye view had always been active, though sometimes he forgot information that wasn't particularly important.

It also made Saint Saint Saiwen realize that the key to overthrowing the World Government was defeating Im, the Five Elders, the Divine Knights, and the Marines.

The other member nations seemed irrelevant.

While lost in thought, a Jin Guang slowly took the form of Hyouzou and landed beside Saint Saint Saiwen.

"Once we reach Marine Headquarters, can you please not go too far? I'm begging you, brother."

Precisely because he foresaw what was about to happen, Kuzan, under the pretense of escorting the kings of member nations home, temporarily did not return to Marine Headquarters.

Only Hyouzou had no choice.

Because among the kings of the New World, Dressrosa had its meeting eligibility revoked, and the Shogun of Wano intended to travel to Marine Headquarters.

"Relax, brother."

"You know that as long as the Marines don't provoke me, I'm usually quite polite."

Personally traveling to Marine Headquarters to revoke the Morning Star Corps's bounty was already extremely excessive; Saint Saint Saiwen had no intention of further provoking the Marines.

Once the Saint Saint Saiwen Warlords of the Sea system is implemented, internal divisions—even splits—will naturally arise within the Marines.

For example, Zephyr, who wants to create a new Marine force.

"By the way, brother."

"Make sure to prepare a list of officers recruited by the World Military Conscription approved by the Marines."

"Don't worry, I won't act."

"I just want to take a look."

Hyouzou's face fell.

"Fine."
