Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 224 World Destroyer

Bondi Wald - Captain of the Wald Pirates, user of the Momo Fruit, which has the ability to multiply the size and speed of objects.

Wald himself is extremely brutal. No matter if they are civilians, navy or pirates, anyone who stands in his way will be crushed without mercy.

Because of his lawless character and the terrifying power that seems to be able to destroy everything, the World Government calls him the "World Destroyer".

……

In a spacious and bright conference room in the holy land of Marijoa, five well-dressed elderly men were discussing the matter of being "world destroyers."

"According to the information from CP, they have successfully lured Bondi Wald into destroying the Beasts Pirates' transport ship."

The old man wearing a black cap and leaning on a cane spoke first, and revealed a shocking piece of information.

"In this case, if nothing unexpected happens, a conflict will break out between these two pirate groups in the near future."

"Well, those people at CP are quite capable."

The other old man with a long goatee nodded.

"It just so happens that the Beasts have been making some big moves recently... Forming an alliance with the Big Mom Pirates isn't good for the stability of the New World."

"Come to think of it, the Navy seems to have its own arrangements as well?"

The old man with a bare head and a long sword in his arms asked, stroking his chin.

"Well, according to the application Sora submitted, he seems to be planning to have Sengoku and Garp go together to ambush Bondi Wald in the New World."

The old man with a cane nodded and continued to describe the navy's arrangements.

"And this time the Navy seems to have instigated a group of pirates from the New World to cooperate with the Navy in the operation."

"Instigating pirates? Was this Sengoku's doing?"

In the navy, only Admiral Zhan Guo, known as a "wise general", could make such a bold move.

"Yes, it was probably inspired by the incident in the Valley of the Gods..."

"The navy and pirates are joining forces. This is not a good sign."

The blond old man who had been silent all this time interrupted at this moment.

"Indeed, if the navy and pirates get too close, it will not be in the interests of the World Government."

The old man with a goatee also echoed at this time.

"Then let Sengoku kill those pirates immediately after the incident. In short, this kind of thing can happen once or twice, but it can't happen a third time."

"Well, let's do it."

"But the primary target this time is still Bondi Wald. This guy recently attacked another ship belonging to the Jaygolucia family."

"If we allow them to continue like this, the lower realms will lose their respect for us Celestial Dragons."

The last one, an old man with a beard like a huge boar's tusks, spoke, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at the old man with crutches.

The 'Jaigolucia Family' is one of the nineteen Celestial Dragon families currently residing in the Holy Land, and is also the main family of the "God of Scientific Defense," Jaigolucia Satan.

To be honest, the World Government's attitude towards the so-called "sea overlords" of the New World's pirates has never been to kill them all.

In their view, the existence of pirates is necessary and is a force that helps maintain the balance of the world.

The real purpose of the World Government is to maintain the current power system centered on the Celestial Dragons.

When the pirates become too powerful, they intervene to suppress them;
And when the navy becomes too powerful, they will also...cut it off.

They are like an invisible hand high above, constantly controlling the balance between the two ends of the scale.

Only when faced with an individual like Bondi Wald who is out of control and even directly threatens their core interests will they take the initiative to eliminate him.

"In that case, let's follow Sora's instructions and have Sengoku lead the navy to the New World. Once Bondi Wald and the Beast are both defeated, they can capture him."

"At the same time, notify the CP team to prepare for both scenarios. We absolutely cannot let the target escape this time."

"As for Garp...don't let him go. Now that Zephyr has retreated to the second line, the Holy Land needs to have enough combat power left."

Saint Satan, who was on crutches, made the final arrangements.

Originally, he didn't want Garp to stay and guard the holy land. With that guy's personality, he might do something that would be counterproductive.

But this battle is quite important and requires the people on the scene to have the ability to make flexible arrangements, which is indispensable in the Warring States period.

[Eh~ As expected, I was too impatient with that Zephyr incident...]
The other elders nodded when they heard this.

"Seconded."

……

Just as this topic was about to end and several elders were preparing to leave to deal with the matters under their jurisdiction, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook noticeably.

Immediately afterwards, the teacups on the table, the sofa beneath him, and the glass on the wall all began to tremble. Crash!

Boom~
Finally, accompanied by a slight sound like an explosion coming from a very far distance, everything returned to calm.

"Another earthquake?"

"Isn't the frequency too high? It's happened dozens of times in the past few days, right?"

"If this continues, it might disturb Lord Yimu."

"Saint Maz, the reason hasn't been found out yet?"

The other four looked at the old man with a thick goatee.

As the other party is the "God of Environment", this matter should be under his jurisdiction.

"This...this is not available yet."

Because it involves the safety of the holy land and "Lord Im", even though he is one of the highest authorities in the world government, Saint Markaz Maz can't help but feel a little nervous.

"According to the report from the investigation team I sent out, these recent 'earthquakes' are likely unrelated to geological activity on the Red Earth Continent. Instead, they are more likely to be caused by explosions."

"Explosion?!"*4
……

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Failed again~"

Sixty kilometers north of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, two small figures walked out in a puff of dust in a panic.

"Is this the forty-sixth time?"

"We've already used up nearly half of the cubes we brought, and it still hasn't worked..."

Ou Bei frowned and looked at Osi in front of him with a look that was a mixture of suspicion and disappointment.

"Don't, don't look at me like that. Even geniuses make mistakes sometimes."

"But I remember you were pretty quick when you first learned Haki. Ding~ You learned it in no time."

"Why doesn't it work this time?"

"That's different. Back then, Sister La taught us in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Unlike you, who only spoke incomprehensible terms like 'control frequency, adjust wavelength, deconstruct energy bonds'."

"This thing is hard to do, and you're still complaining. Of course I'm going to fail."

"Eh~"

Faced with Osi's blame-shifting, Obei had no interest in fighting back.

After all, if this guy gets upset and quits, the precious materials that I want will be gone.

"Alright, alright, next time I won't say a word. Just rely on your own intuition."

For an intuitive monster like Osi, perhaps letting her figure it out on her own would be the fastest way.

"Let's move to another place now. We can't stay here forever. It would be bad if something on this red earth continent exploded."

After all, it is called a continent, but in Ober's opinion, this place is obviously more like a mountain range.

After all, whose continent's altitude would jump directly from zero to ten thousand?

"That's right. But this place is really resistant to bombing. We bombed it over forty times and it still looks safe and sound."

"After all, it's the mainland. It can't be compared to some small island or reef."

Osi sighed and spread his wings, revealing a mischievous smile.

"Let's go a little further south this time. I remember there seems to be a big mansion in that direction."

"To build such a large house at such a high altitude, how much manpower and material resources must have been spent! I guess it's just another vampire who's exploiting the people."

Osi thought of the luxurious villas in the deep mountains and forests in his previous world, and suddenly felt indignant.

"No, I have to go over and harass them immediately!"

"The experiment is important. Why would you bother messing with those troublesome guys?"

"And as for plundering the people's wealth and everything, we're pirates now, so we're pretty much the same as them, right?"

"How is it almost the same? At least I openly admitted that I am a thief."

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to blow it up right next to someone's door. I'm just trying to scare them from a distance of a few dozen kilometers."

"Can't you say something auspicious? This is an experiment, not a firecracker..."

Seeing Osi's eager expression as if he was going to have fun setting off firecrackers on the street with his friends on New Year's Eve, Oubei couldn't help but cover his face helplessly.

"Auspicious words... Since when did you start believing in such metaphysical things?"

"Starting from your thirtieth failure..."

　Rewatching the 3D2Y movie today was truly indescribable. It required Garp, Sengoku, and a combined effort from the pirates, and even the World Government, still worried, dispatched a powerful pirate from the CP organization, yet they still couldn't defeat Luffy, who wasn't even proficient in Haki. There was no indication of his strength declining; he was using Haki perfectly well… All I can say is, it's just a movie… a movie…
　　Seriously, the Momo-Momo Fruit's ability must have been conceived out of thin air... It's one thing to amplify the kinetic energy of other objects, but it can even affect the user's own body.
