Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 154 Bounty: 5.546 billion Berries
Upon seeing this scene, Akainu's pupils suddenly contracted. "Damn it, are you kidding me?"
No, it's one thing for your abilities to be unrestricted by seawater, but to be able to control it is another. Who would dare to fight you on the sea?

This scene is far beyond our comprehension. In the world of One Piece, the sea has always been a source of fear for humans, especially for those who possess Devil Fruits.

Among them, Aokiji, who can travel on the sea surface using his Devil Fruit ability, is already considered extremely powerful.

If Aokiji were here, he might be able to freeze me directly with his ability, but this is magma. Even if I can resist it briefly, it won't last long.

Sure, but I don't know if this is the other person's limit.

Amidst the waves, a warship was propelled by the spray and rose above the waves. Chen Feng stood at the bow, looking down at Akainu, and said calmly, "Fleet Admiral, I don't want to fight you, or to put it another way, I don't want to fight the Navy. I'm not against the Navy, but against the World Government, this corrupt organization."

"At this point, I have nothing to say, but if you really want to take action, then I will not hold back anymore. You once told me to uphold the justice in my heart, and even now, I still feel that I have done nothing wrong."

"The Navy, which upholds justice, will never listen to those bullshit Celestial Dragons; what they need to listen to is true justice."

Akainu raised his head, his gaze fixed on Chen Feng standing at the bow of the ship. A rare ripple flashed in his eyes. He knew that at this point, there was no point in saying anything. If a war really broke out, he would not gain any advantage.

This is not only because Chen Feng is powerful enough to control seawater, but also because of Jin Han standing next to him.

His sharp, sword-like aura was not concealed at all, and his sword-like gaze fell on him. Jin Han and Akainu knew that the other party was Chen Feng's second-in-command and also a powerful person.

Akainu's rock-hard face softened for once, and he finally reached out and waved.

"Let's go! Let's go around it."

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers on the warship glanced at the marshal with slight surprise, but immediately obeyed the order, turning the warship around and circling around him.

Seeing this, Chen Feng flicked his finger, and the surrounding waves seemed to have a spirit, lifting the warship and carrying it into the distance.

Akainu watched Chen Feng's warship depart, standing at the bow, his eyes flashing with complex emotions, lost in thought...

Once they were completely out of Mary Geoise, Chen Feng let out a sigh of relief, rubbed his forehead, and instructed Jin Han beside him, "I need to rest for a while now. I'll leave the command to you. Go to the place we guarded for a period of time before."

Upon hearing this, Jin Han nodded, his face unusually serious: "Okay, boss, don't worry! Normally, if we go at full speed, we can reach Ruihaite Island in a day."

Reheite Island, though called an island, is actually a group of islands, consisting of four islands in total.

The most central island is called Reheit Island, with the other three islands forming a triangular encirclement around it.

The kingdom on the island is the Kingdom of Reheit. Previously, it was not a member state of the World Government and was not protected by the Navy because it could not afford to pay the Celestial Gold.

Afterwards, due to an accident, Chen Feng led the navy to guard the area for a period of time. In order to prevent the situation from happening today, he naturally used his double-handed methods to control a group of high-ranking officials, including the king, and completely took control of the area.

After all, he has always been cautious by nature and understands the principle of "a cunning rabbit has three burrows". This place is not very big, but it has the advantage of good terrain and the resources produced are enough for him to get through.

…………

Meanwhile, the devastating events that struck Mary Geoise were only just beginning to unfold, their invisible shockwaves spreading throughout the world.

New Marineford, Naval Headquarters.

In a room in the backyard.

Boom! ! !

A rapid knocking sounded at the door. Without waiting for a response from inside, Momousagi rushed in, holding a piece of information, and anxiously called out to Tina, who was sitting there:
"Tina, something terrible has happened! Chen Feng has defected! He killed a Celestial Dragon in Marinejoar, then openly attacked Pangaea, the Celestial Dragons' holy land, and even fought against the Five Elders. In the end, even Akainu couldn't stop him!!"

Upon hearing Momousagi's words, Tina, who was smoking and contemplating the mission, froze, looked up, and stared at the other person in disbelief.

Seeing this, Momousagi thought the other person hadn't heard her clearly, and quickly repeated, "Hey, Chen Feng has defected. He killed a Celestial Dragon..."

Before she could continue, Tina regained her composure and said, "Yes, I understand."

Momousagi was stunned by Tina's calm expression, who was about to continue speaking. She had imagined Tina's various emotions after hearing the news, but she had never imagined that she would be so calm.

But Momousagi didn't see that Tina's hands, hidden beneath her cloak, were already clenched tightly, and the cigarette in her mouth was burning faster than ever...

In a dimly lit conference room, all the major naval officers were seated, with no one from the rank of vice admiral to the rank of lieutenant general absent.

Fleet Admiral Akainu, the three admirals, Sengoku, and Garp—the pillars of the Navy—are also present, with no faction absent.

This conference was unprecedented in scale, even surpassing the one held during the Marineford War.

Momousagi and Tina also arrived here, and they sat behind Garp.

A dignified-looking vice admiral with squinting eyes took out a stack of newspapers, placed them on the table, put down the cigar from his mouth, respectfully nodded to Fleet Admiral Akainu at the front, and solemnly began:
"Alright, everyone's here. Now we're going to talk about some important matters. According to the latest intelligence, based on the conclusions of the World Conference, the Shichibukai system will be completely abolished. From this moment on, the Shichibukai will no longer be protected by the system and will be treated as ordinary pirates. Starting today, we will send people to capture them."

In fact, these things were all decided beforehand; it was just a matter of fairly informing them. Otherwise, a lieutenant general wouldn't have been on the receiving end of the announcement.

The lieutenant general spoke continuously, recounting most of what had happened during the meeting, then paused, his expression turning serious.

"Then, the most serious and impactful event during the World Conference took place."

Upon hearing this, the previously absent-minded crowd instantly sat up straight and focused their attention, all knowing that the crucial matter had arrived.

The lieutenant general's voice rang out again.

"As you all probably already know, the major events that have recently occurred have taken place. Vice Admiral Chen Feng of the Marine Corps killed a Celestial Dragon during the World Government Summit, then openly challenged the World Government and attacked Pangaea Castle. After that, he escaped in a warship. Now, according to the latest intelligence, Chen Feng and his second-in-command Jin Han have taken the warship to the island of Reihaite in the New World. Due to the terrain and the fact that Chen Feng had previously guarded the island, it has not been occupied by any pirate crew."

"According to intelligence, a giant ship has already been built there. After discussion and deliberation, it was finally decided to define Chen Feng's group as a pirate crew, with a much higher priority than other pirate crews, and name them the White Flame Pirates." Although many people already knew about this, upon hearing the confirmation, a sense of unease rose in the hearts of the marines present.

Chen Feng is no ordinary naval officer. He is a vice admiral in the Marine Headquarters, but he has extremely high prestige and strength. In the minds of many, he even surpasses an admiral and is the best candidate for the next marshal.

Unexpectedly, a single trip to Marionjois was enough to make a diagnosis. If it weren't brought up in this particular context, many naval personnel probably wouldn't believe it.

At this moment, even the naval hero Garp was no longer as relaxed as before. He sat upright in his chair, staring ahead without saying a word. His heavy face showed that he was not in a good mood, and a sense of defeat had risen in his heart at some point.

At this moment, he began to doubt himself. His son was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, his grandson was a pirate, and he didn't have many true disciples, only three at most. Leaving Coby aside, the remaining two were Kuzan, who joined the Blackbeard Pirates.

The remaining one, Chen Feng, was originally the one most favored by Garp. He was steady, talented, and powerful, a true prodigy. But after going to the World Conference, this happened, and he actually defected.

At this moment, Garp couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He should have known better than to leave Marionjois over some trivial matter; perhaps if he had stayed there, things might not have turned out so badly.

Thinking that with Chen Feng there, safety wouldn't be a problem, he went to take care of some personal matters. However, when he returned to pick up the group from Mermaid Island, he learned about this incident, and his Dao Heart shattered on the spot...

Seeing this atmosphere, Akainu snorted coldly, and his majestic voice rang out: "Chen Feng disregarded the justice on his back and openly rebelled against the Navy. From now on, anyone who sees him should make killing his primary objective!"

After saying this, he raised his hand and waved, signaling the lieutenant to continue.

The vice admiral nodded, reached for a piece of paper, and stuck it on the blackboard.

The paper had a portrait of a man with blond hair and a handsome face, resembling a noble young master, holding a long sword in his hand.

This person was familiar to everyone present; he was Chen Feng's right-hand man, the great swordsman Jin Han.

"After discussion, the bounty for the vice-captain of the White Flame Pirates, the great swordsman Jin Han, has been finalized: 1.13 billion Berries!"

The announcement of the bounty surprised everyone present, but there were no objections. Given Jin Han's strength as a great swordsman, a bounty of this magnitude was not entirely unexpected.

"Next up is the most important person in this meeting."

At this point, the vice admiral's voice rose a few decibels. He paused, then said in a deep voice, "The captain of the White Flame Pirates, a former vice admiral of the Marine Headquarters, one of the most sinful people in the world, is Stan Chen Feng, and is also considered by the World Government to be the most troublesome pirate."

"According to intelligence, he is the most unique Devil Fruit user, capable of manipulating white flames and summoning a nearly 100-meter-tall white giant. Furthermore, based on Chen Feng's fight with the Marshal, he can also use blue flames to control seawater."

"Finally, and most importantly, Chen Feng can summon the dead and make them fight for him. According to reliable intelligence, he can summon the dead, and the dead almost possess the combat power they had in life, even their fruits."

"The known deceased summoned so far include Pirate King Roger, Whitebeard Edward Newgate, Golden Lion Shiki, and Fire Fist Ace."

These words immediately broke the previously calm and somber atmosphere, and the naval officers below began to discuss among themselves.

"These four individuals are all notorious pirates, so how could he possibly control the seawater?"

"How is this possible? They can summon the three legendary pirates? How is that possible? Are you kidding me?!"

"This kind of power is so great that even if the entire navy were to combine its strength, it might not be able to defeat it."

"Summoning a white giant nearly a hundred meters tall? Are you kidding me? This intelligence must be wrong."

As high-ranking officers in the Navy, they had experienced many battles, both large and small, and had seen many strange Devil Fruit abilities, but they had never seen anything so monstrous.

Controlling seawater, summoning a white giant a hundred meters tall, and awakening the dead to fight for you with almost the same strength as in life—any one of these three abilities, if given to someone who isn't too useless, could create a hegemon-level powerhouse.

Moreover, all three abilities are combined in one person.

Although they were all shocked and could hardly believe it, they eventually realized it was true: an incredibly powerful pirate had been born, and he was originally a member of the Marines…

They all knew something about the whole thing, and that it was because of the Celestial Dragons that the strongest Marine Vice Admiral had defected.

Faced with such intelligence, the usually lazy Kizaru was quite relaxed and joked, "Yo yo, what a terrifying guy. I didn't expect Chen Feng to be so powerful. Shiki, Roger, Whitebeard, any one of them is a top-tier powerhouse. Our Navy is going to have a hard time in the future."

Green Bull snorted coldly, appearing extremely unconvinced: "He's just relying on his Devil Fruit powers to blaspheme the dead. Humph, how despicable."

Upon seeing this, Momousagi, who was a candidate for admiral, was immediately displeased and retorted, "Heh, aren't you relying on your Devil Fruit ability too? Even without your Devil Fruit ability, Chen Feng could easily defeat you."

She originally thought that with Chen Feng gone, there would be no one in the Navy to oppose her, but she didn't expect Momousagi to show her no respect at all.

Green Bull snorted and glared fiercely at them, only to see Chaton, Garp, and Tsuru standing next to Momousagi. All three of them were looking at him at the same time.

Green Bull's expression stiffened. After thinking for a moment, he said nothing and turned his head away. Garp's faction was still not someone he could afford to offend...

Fujitora sighed softly and said with emotion, "I'm afraid the whole world will be in complete chaos from now on. I don't know how our Navy will uphold justice."

Seeing the atmosphere like this, Akainu couldn't help but intervene: "Alright, stop fooling around and continue."

After everyone calmed down, the vice admiral on the stage took out a piece of paper and pasted it on the board behind him for everyone to see.

The paper was a portrait of Chen Feng, with black hair, black eyes, and a slight smile on his lips.

The admiral's solemn voice rang out, echoing throughout the room.

"Rebel Chen Feng, bounty of 5.546 billion Berries!!"
