Chapter 335: How to Be a Proper World Noble

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

Inside the Room of Power, symbolizing the supreme authority of the World Government, the Five Elders gathered together.

"Everyone, Saint Garling, personally leading the God Knights, has arrived at Kuzuku Island in the South Blue and is lying in wait in secret."

For hundreds of years, the Five Elders have not found the Rubber Fruit; even though they were not rebuked by Imu for this, it ultimately left an impression of incompetence.

And this time, with the God Knights stepping in, the Rubber Fruit will have no chance of escape.

"Furthermore," Saint Saturn continued.

"Garp captured Blackbeard alive in the East Blue and is now escorting Blackbeard to Punk Hazard."

Good news came one after another; the worry on Saint Saturn's brow was gone, never to return as it had been in the past few days.

The Pacifista Project, prepared for many years, can finally be officially launched!

Since the first target, Kuma, was protected by Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, and after the Red Count escaped from Impel Down, and the Four Emperors personally came to New Marineford to rescue Blackbeard...

The Pacifista Project has indeed gone through many hardships along the way.

Fortunately, the experimental host, Blackbeard, is now in position; within a few years, the World Government will add a large batch of new strength!

With such a huge advantage, it is time to find a moment to reduce the Navy's military budget!

Saint Natsunaro commented abruptly.

"Except for frequently disobeying our orders, Garp is indeed very reliable."

The other four of the Five Elders nodded in agreement.

For decades, the falls of both Rocks and Roger, who stirred up countless storms on the seas, were more or less related to Garp.

Precisely because of this,

although the D. Clan is known as the Enemy of the Gods, the World Government had to extensively publicize the deeds of the Navy Hero, Garp.

There was no choice; Garp is ridiculously strong.

Saint Saturn personally experienced it: at God Valley, Garp pounded on the head of Lord Imu, yet afterwards, Lord Imu never mentioned Garp.

Moreover, from the matter of arresting Blackbeard, it is not hard to see that compared to Akainu and Kizaru previously returning empty-handed, Garp was able to capture Blackbeard alive.

Who would not like such a subordinate?

What does it matter if someone with Garp's ability frequently disobeys orders?

This is the style unique to the strong.

This is called having character!

Saint Saturn smiled and produced a report: "According to a brief message from the Inazuma Foreign Ministry, Saint Saint Saint Saiwen is about to arrive in Alabasta; our Lord of Thunder, at last, is willing to leave his beloved Inazuma."

"This is what a Celestial Dragon should look like.

If Saint Saint Saint Saiwen were to visit the Pashijia Alliance more often, it would also serve to demonstrate the World Government's deterrent power."

"Yes," Saint Volumnius took up the conversation.

"Do you think it's possible that Saint Saint Saint Saiwen has lived through hard times for so long that he doesn't know how to enjoy the life of a Celestial Dragon?"

The gap between transforming from a pirate to a Celestial Dragon of the World Nobles is nothing short of vast.

What kind of life did pirates live?

Out in the vast sea, starving three times a day, eating one meal without knowing the next, while also having to evade naval fleets that could appear at any moment.

And what kind of life do Celestial Dragons live?

Enjoying supreme power without labor, squandering inexhaustible wealth...

For a beautiful woman they take a liking to, even if she is a Princess of the Pashijia Alliance, a single glance is enough for CP agents to act, and she is stuffed into their bed that very night.

More extreme Celestial Dragons dare to strip them naked on the spot and force themselves upon them.

Hearing this, Saint Saturn's eyes lit up.

"This angle... is quite novel."

"If this is truly the case, why not send a descendant of Wang Zhi to teach Saint Saint Saint Saiwen how to be a proper World Noble?"

Bound by Imu's contract, the Five Elders have long regarded Saint Saint Saint Saiwen as one of their own, sharing in prosperity or ruin.

However, with Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, this outlier among Celestial Dragons, around, it is never entirely reassuring.

Better safe than sorry.

If one day in the future, Lord Imu discovers the difference between Saint Saint Saint Saiwen and them, wouldn't it make them look like a bunch of lazy good-for-nothings who can't do anything right?

And what about Saint Saint Saint Saiwen?

He never takes a single needle or thread from the Holy Land, yet he accomplishes so many great things for the Holy Land.

If the Five Elders, who have enjoyed hundreds of years of a life of luxury, were to be like Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, disliking beauties and not greedy for wealth, it would be harder than killing them.

In that case—

rather than elevating ourselves, we should lower Saint Saint Saint Saiwen.

As long as we lower Saint Saint Saint Saiwen to their own level, Lord Imu will not be able to discover: Saint Saint Saint Saiwen's goodness and their own badness.

"Agreed." x4

The proposal was approved by the other four of the Five Elders; Saint Saturn curled the corners of his mouth.

"Among the descendants of Wang Zhi in the Holy Land, Saint Elaine and Saint Saint Saint Saiwen have the best relationship; this important task belongs to no one but Saint Elaine."

"Agreed." x4

New World, New Marineford Port.

The Inazuma Lord of Thunder, Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, the World Noble Celestial Dragon, had his vehicle, the Donghai Dihuang, docked steadily in the Navy Headquarters port for resupply.

Upon receiving the news—

even though there was a thousand unwillingness in their hearts, the Navy high command, led by Fleet Admiral Sengoku, had no choice but to stand at the port to welcome him.

They even had to hang colorful flags at the port bearing the inscription "Welcome Saint Saint Saint Saiwen to Navy Headquarters."

The Navy's high command all understood that without financial autonomy, the Navy would never break free from the shackles imposed by the World Government, nor would they ever be able to lift their heads before the World Noble Saint Saint Saint Saiwen.

The only thing worth being grateful for was that Akainu was not currently at Headquarters; otherwise, it would very likely have caused a bad impression.

The moment Saint Saint Saiwen stepped on the red carpet and set foot on the new Marineford land, Sengoku hurriedly stepped forward, his face beaming with a smile.

"Welcome, Saint Saint Saint Saiwen..."

"Grand Admiral Sengoku, we are old friends; there is no need for such formality."

Seeing this, Sengoku quickly changed the subject.

"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, this way, please."

Before the two could even lift their feet, a commotion suddenly erupted within the welcoming Navy formation standing at the port.

"Look over there, it's the Dog-Head Battleship!"

"It's Vice Admiral Garp returning."

The instant Sengoku saw the Dog-Head Battleship from afar, his heart gave a sudden thud: Damn, Garp is back already?

If Blackbeard had already been delivered to Punk Hazard, it would have been fine, but what if Blackbeard was still on the ship...

Damn Garp!

Before long, Garp appeared at the port, swaggering while dragging Blackbeard, who had been bound into a zongzi shape by Sea Prism Stone chains.

Before he could even open his mouth, Garp had already sensed Sengoku's gaze, which looked as if it could eat people.

"Uh... the supplies on the ship ran out."

Hearing this, Sengoku placed one hand on his forehead, momentarily at a loss for what exactly he should say.

The Donghai Dihuang came to Navy Headquarters for supplies first, and the Dog-Head Battleship returned to Headquarters for supplies afterward; one couldn't possibly treat them differently, could one?

However, how could it be such a coincidence that both large ships needed supplies at the exact same time?

And Blackbeard, being held in Garp's hand like a little chick, as if seeing a lifeline, immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

"L-Little... Boss Saint Saint Saiwen, it's me."

"Titch of the Whitebeard Pirates."

Sengoku sighed; judging from Blackbeard's tone, the two likely knew each other for many years, and Sengoku had already prepared himself for Blackbeard to be rescued once again.

However, the scene that followed gave Sengoku a feeling of a sudden turn of events.

Saint Saint Saiwen pretended to be surprised.

"Ah, it's Brother Titch."

"Why have you been caught again?"
