Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 144 The Meeting with the Five Elders

Naval Headquarters, New Marineford.

The warship started moving, and Chen Feng stood on the deck, waving goodbye to the group of friends who were seeing him off. He then departed.

Tina watched the other person's departing figure and fell silent for a moment, her thoughts turning back to her conversation with Chen Feng yesterday.

The other person stood by the lake and said something inexplicable to me.

"Tina, no matter how serious the things I do afterward, even if I defect from the Navy and become an enemy of the entire World Government, you only need to remember one thing: don't do anything foolish, stay in the present, and finally, just trust me."

For some reason, since returning, Tina noticed something unusual about Chen Feng: he seemed to be thinking too much. Several times she saw him deep in thought about something.

To put it simply, their thoughts have become more complicated.

He reached for a cigarette, lit it, took a drag, and then slowly exhaled. White smoke billowed out, obscuring Tina's beautiful face and making it blurry.

…………

The World Government attached great importance to this World Conference, and a significant portion of the Navy's forces were deployed to escort the kings of various countries and prevent pirates from causing trouble.

As the strongest fighter, Chen Feng was naturally sent directly to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise to maintain its security and order.

Therefore, Chen Feng's warship had a very simple destination: it headed straight for Mary Geoise.

In addition, just in case, the Navy also dispatched its hero Garp to protect the shipping lanes and prevent pirates from attacking the arriving king.

Chen Feng stood on the plank, looking at Kapu eating senbei beside him, and rubbed his forehead.

"Garp-sensei, we've arrived at our destination. According to intelligence, the Fishman Island fleet will be here soon."

Garp picked up the snack bag and emptied all the senbei inside into his mouth. He nodded in satisfaction, patted Chen Feng on the shoulder, and then, as if remembering something, leaned closer and said with a smile:
"Alright, Chen Feng, you can go now. I'm going with Neptune from Fishman Island. Oh, by the way, I heard that Princess Shirahoshi of Fishman Island is a great beauty, no less than the Pirate Empress. She's incredibly beautiful and also enormous. How about this, why don't you come with me? I can introduce you to her, what do you say?"

Chen Feng's lips twitched, and he smiled helplessly: "Alright, Garp-sensei, I have to hurry up and go, otherwise I might not be able to make it on time."

Seeing this, Garp stopped joking, suddenly leaped up, used Moonwalk, and headed towards another warship.

After Garp left, the warship carrying Chen Feng headed at full speed towards the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

…………

Mary Geoise, the holy land of the Celestial Dragons.

Several naval warships sped to the port, and well-trained soldiers ran off the ships with their weapons in hand.

At this moment, guards had been waiting there for a long time, dressed in white armor and holding long spears, saluting Chen Feng.

"Lieutenant General Chen Feng, the Five Elders request that you come to see them."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng raised an eyebrow. What was going on? What important matter did the Five Elders want with him?

Despite the turmoil in his mind, he remained composed, nodded, and, led by the guards, headed towards the center of Mary Geoise.

Holy Land Marie Joa, Pangu City.

The office where the Five Elders handle their daily affairs.

Guided by the guards, Chen Feng arrived at the gate. After a thorough inspection, the guards pushed open the gate behind him.

Upon entering, one sees five old men of different appearances sitting upright, scrutinizing Chen Feng as he arrives.

They are the Five Elders, the administrative organs of the world government today, who wield great power.

Saturn Saint Satan looked at the stack of materials in his hand and spoke authoritatively: "Saturn Chen Feng joined the Navy at the age of eighteen. He was exceptionally talented and was given special training. He was taught the Six Styles of the Navy and later distinguished himself in the Marineford War, where he received special training."

"After that, he rose rapidly, and his combat power increased at a rapid pace. After eating a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, his combat power reached the top level, possessing the strength of an Admiral. He captured countless great pirates and even fought against Katakuri, the second-in-command of the Big Mom Pirates, and defeated him in one battle. Afterwards, he even covered the rear and fought against the Yonko Big Mom to buy time for his subordinates to retreat."

"Now, at the age of twenty-nine, he possesses the strength of an extremely powerful admiral. A few days ago, he fought against Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, and the two were evenly matched."

"But tell me, why did you refuse the promotion to general?!"

The reason why he claimed to have eaten a Devil Fruit is actually quite simple: revealing his ability to see through everything is naturally considered a Devil Fruit power.

After all, there's no such thing as a cultivation system in the world of One Piece.

Having memories of the anime, I also have some understanding of the Five Elders, Chen Feng. They can all transform into monsters with some kind of superpower, such as immortality and rapid regeneration.

Each of the five is exceptionally skilled, with Mercury being the strongest. He possesses incredible defense, easily blocking even Luffy's full-force attack in Gear 5, and can even unleash a powerful Conqueror's Haki roar, clearly demonstrating that he has reached Emperor-level strength.

Even the weakest of them, Saturn, can be considered to have the strength of a queen consort based on its performance.

In that sense, among the Five Elders, two are roughly at the Emperor level, Mercury has the strongest defense, Venus wields the first generation Kitetsu, and the remaining three should be considered as Emperor Vice-Emperors.

Goodness, with this lineup, wiping out a Yonko pirate crew would be a piece of cake. Add to that the Navy's three admirals, one fleet admiral, and Garp, Sengoku, and the vice admiral candidates, and even if the Yonko pirate crews joined forces, they could still put up a fight.

Not to mention the even more mysterious Knights of God, whose leader Shanks is his brother, clearly a match for Shanks, another Yonko-level fighter.

Goodness, when you calculate it this way, the Celestial Dragons have quite a lot of high-end combat power, and that doesn't even include the final boss, Im. Come to think of it, with hundreds of years of foundation and a huge accumulation of resources, it would be strange if they weren't strong.

His thoughts returned to normal. Facing Saturn's questioning, Chen Feng's eyes flashed with a strange light. He didn't say much, but simply replied in a deep, perfunctory voice:
"I feel I still need more refinement; it's too early for me to assume the position of a general."

Mercury, sitting in the middle, snorted coldly and said forcefully, "Oh, really? I heard that you oppose our way of doing things and don't want to serve us Celestial Dragons. Let me tell you, without us, there would be no Navy. Your Navy is just an outer face of the World Government."

"Remember, don't forget who you are. Sure, you have talent, but that's no reason to be arrogant and look down on the Celestial Dragons. Remember, the Navy is here to serve us. Who do you think you are?!"

Mercury, the most powerful of the Five Elders, once bluntly told Akainu that his pride was worthless.

Faced with such words, Chen Feng, wearing a navy cloak, remained expressionless, but a restrained, pure coldness flashed in his eyes.

Damn it, if I, Chen Feng, don't take your head from me, I'll take your surname. Now is not the time. Only when I have complete control of the navy will it be time to turn on you completely.

But he knew now was not the time; it wasn't worth clashing with these beasts, especially with Im coming up later.

Mars, standing ramrod straight in a suit, sighed and said gently, "Chen Feng, we understand your thoughts to some extent, but you must understand that our World Government has made many contributions to world peace. It is because of us that the world can maintain its current stability and that people can continue to live."

"You can imagine what the world would be like without the control of the World Government. At times, I hope you can put the big picture first."

"As long as you do your job well and follow our orders, we can guarantee you that you will be the next Admiral of the Navy. Go back and think about it carefully."

Chen Feng nodded, took a deep breath, and showed a hint of excitement: "Yes, Chen Feng has learned a lot."

Seeing this, Mercury nodded in satisfaction and waved for Chen Feng to leave.

"Alright, remember that the World Conference is about to begin. We must maintain order and security and avoid any mistakes."

After Chen Feng left, Jupiter frowned, slightly worried: "Isn't what we did a bit inappropriate? You know, Chen Feng is a top combatant in the Navy, with outstanding talent. Such remarks may cause him to harbor resentment, which is not conducive to control."

Jin Xing, wielding a long sword, snorted coldly and tapped the table lightly with the scabbard: "Holding resentment? So what? Indeed, his strength and talent are remarkable, but what use is he to us if he doesn't obey?"

"Besides, why should we care about their thoughts? All they can do is follow orders."

Walking through Pangu City and strolling along the streets, watching the bustling scene, Chen Feng felt his worries lessen somewhat.

Once I've waited a while and gained more control over my forces using my dual skills, I can finally overturn the table completely.

At this time, Mary Geoise was a gathering place for people from many countries, where various cultures blended together. As a holy site, it also offered a wide variety of goods, making it a lively and bustling place.

According to the anime's storyline, this time the Revolutionary Army will wreak havoc on Mary Geoise in order to save Bartholomew Kuma...

Just as Chen Feng was pondering what he should do in this operation, a white ball rolled across the street and landed at his feet.

Slightly surprised, I picked it up and looked up to see a little girl, about four or five years old, wearing a pink dress, with her hair in a bun, fair-skinned, and big eyes, rushing to my side. She stretched out her hands, blinked her big eyes, and spoke in a childish voice.

"Big brother, that's my ball, can you give it back to me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng, whose expression had been somewhat stern, softened instantly. He smiled gently, squatted down, and handed the ball to the little girl.

"Okay, little friend, where are your mom and dad?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a man and a woman who looked like a married couple rushed over from afar. They breathed a sigh of relief the moment they saw the little girl, but became tense again when they saw Chen Feng beside them.

The middle-aged man quickly ran to the little girl's side, picked her up, and then repeatedly bowed his head to apologize to Chen Feng: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm sorry for offending you. I apologize on her behalf."

At the same time, the beautiful blonde woman hurriedly apologized and bowed.

Clearly, this is a stereotype imposed on people by some bastards in the navy.

Chen Feng didn't say much about it, he just shook his head: "No need to apologize, it's alright."

The next moment, the little girl in her father's arms took out a piece of candy and handed it to him.

"Here you are, big brother, thank you for picking up the ball for me."

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng was suddenly stunned, his smile widening as he accepted the candy.

"it is good."

Seeing how gentle the navy officer was, the girl's father breathed a sigh of relief and dared to raise his head to look at Chen Feng. However, upon seeing him, he seemed to remember something, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, "Excuse me, are you Lieutenant General Chen Feng?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng, who was about to turn and leave, raised an eyebrow, carefully examined the middle-aged man, and, having no recollection of him, asked, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing the affirmation, the middle-aged man and his wife's eyes immediately lit up with joy.

"We come from Saharan Island. You may not remember us, but back then, our country was severely harassed by pirates. Our army was powerless to resist them. In the end, thanks to you leading the navy, we were able to capture the pirates. Moreover, it was you who saved our family's lives!"

Now, the couple is overjoyed to see their saviors again.

Chen Feng rubbed his forehead, looking slightly embarrassed. He seemed to have some recollection of this family, but he wasn't quite sure. He had captured too many pirates and rescued too many people, so his impression of this particular family was rather vague.

Seemingly remembering something, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Oh, by the way, isn't Saharan Island quite far from here? How did you get here?"

The blonde woman affectionately patted her daughter's head and explained, "Because of the World Conference, the King led a group to Mary Geoise. Little Ai had always wanted to go there, so she paid some money and came along."

The woman and her husband were both extraordinary individuals. Her husband was an official of the kingdom, and she was the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Through some maneuvering, she arrived here with the king's fleet.

After chatting for a while, the three of them decided not to waste any more time, thanked each other again, and then took their leave.

The little girl turned around and waved her chubby hand: "Big brother, bye-bye."

After the three left, Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, as if he sensed something, and looked up at a tall building.

In an instant, a dark shadow flashed by, and then nothing was there.

A strange light flashed in his eyes. That feeling just now, so subtle, must have belonged to someone from the Revolutionary Army...

At that moment, behind the tall building, two people were pressed against the wall, looking flustered and tense.

It was the Revolutionary Army cadre, Confederate Army Commander Lindbergh, and Chief of Staff Sabo, who had eaten the Flame-Flame Fruit.

Lindberg swallowed hard and said, "What's going on? Is that Marine a monster? We were almost detected just by glancing at him. Even the Four Emperors wouldn't have such perception."

In contrast, Sabo appeared quite calm, slightly lowering the brim of his hat: "Vice Admiral Chen Feng, according to intelligence, although he is a vice admiral, he has the strength to rival or even surpass that of an admiral. I didn't expect the Navy to send him out this time."

"But no matter what, we must continue with the plan and rescue that gentle Mr. Bear..."
