One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 299: The Killing of the Five Elders, Revealed to the World!

"Owner."

Angewomon then spoke softly, pointing to the two Elders bound by the Divine Chains:

"These two prisoners have woken up. What should we do with them?"

All eyes turned to them.

The two old men had regained consciousness a few minutes ago, but had kept their eyes tightly closed. Only now, after being exposed, did they have no choice but to open their eyes with grim expressions.

Xia Nuo casually put away Akainu's eyeball, and walked unhurriedly to the two of them, looking down at these two people with the highest power in the world.

"Xia Nuo, I'm not begging for mercy, but rather thinking of you, which is why I'm giving you this final warning!"

Maz Saint struggled to raise his head, his gaze venomous, and coldly spoke:
"Killing a Celestial Dragon is only a serious crime, but if they dare to lay a hand on us, then it's a fight to the death, unforgivable! The World Government will spare no effort..."

Xia Nuo sneered, directly interrupting Maz Saint:

"That noisy old man."

He roughly stomped on Maz Saint's face, his right hand slowly resting on the hilt of the knife behind him, a grin spreading across his face:

"Who do you think I am?!"

"Still threatening me with that damn World Government name? Why not use Im's name? What, are you so afraid to reveal Im's name even when you're about to die?"

Maz's pupils suddenly contracted!
why!
How can it be? ! !

The master's name and existence are the world government's top secrets for eight hundred years!
Even the Supreme Commanders of the Armed Forces and most Celestial Dragons have no right to know this, so why would this lowly commoner from the lower realms know?!

The sword flashed!
laugh!
Blood splattered, and Mazsan's head flew off, his aged face falling to the ground, a look of disbelief still frozen on his face.

However, under the suppression of divine power, it could not regenerate, and its flesh quickly sizzled and turned into black smoke and dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, only a decapitated skeleton remained on the ground.

"This……"

Satan witnessed this scene, and his wrinkled old face instantly lost all color, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Really dead!

I can't sense Marcus Maz's presence at all!
"now you."

Xia Nuo wiped the blood off his knife and turned his gaze to Satan Saint. The latter shuddered and looked up in horror at the figure that was walking towards him step by step like a demon god.

The next second, a cold blade was pressed against his neck.

"wait wait wait!"

The longer one lives, the less one wants to lose everything. Feeling the cold touch on his neck, Satan's aged face was streaked with tears, completely losing his former majesty.

"Xianuo! We can talk, we can talk about anything..."

laugh!
With a flash of light, Satan's head flew high into the air.

The terrified old face tumbled through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, lying side by side with Maz's skull.

Divine power surged, and Satan's corpse began to hiss and dissipate into black smoke.

The valley was completely silent.

Sanji, Zoro, Tashigi... the newly joined young officers also arrived one after another, but no one said a word, they all watched this scene quietly.

A sea breeze blew by, and everyone's gaze gradually shifted from the skull on the ground to the slender figure who had sheathed his sword. For a moment, they were all somewhat lost in thought.

These are the Five Elders, the supreme power center of the World Government, who have ruled this world for countless years!
And so, he was executed by his own captain like an animal being slaughtered.

If it were a few years ago, or even just a year ago, probably no one would have dared to imagine that they would witness such a shocking scene.

"This shackle called fear must be broken now..."

Luo adjusted the brim of his leopard-print hat, looked up at the sky, and murmured to himself.

This is the famous quote that Xia Nuo made to the world when the Chambord incident broke out.

It's really been severed!

Today, here, they personally slaughtered the Celestial Dragons, and witnessed two of the Five Elders being beheaded just like ordinary people!

Ordinary gods are fine too.

Even the supreme god above the gods...

It's nothing special!

It's all fake! Hypocritical! Man-made! Something that can be pulled down and trampled underfoot! Something that can be killed!

from now on.

The Fallen Ones, from top to bottom, will completely break free from the shackles of fear towards the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, and will be free from any psychological constraints!
Oh, and that other thing...

Luo suddenly thought of something and spoke up:

"Sir, when my team was clearing out the CP agents on the outskirts, we rescued two local boys on the edge of the valley. They said they absolutely had to see you. Should we bring them over?"

With advance reconnaissance by intelligence agencies, the one who brought down the battle was well prepared.

This valley was the main battlefield that had been planned long ago.

While the officers were hunting down Celestial Dragons here, they had already arranged several other teams to clear out the agents around the valley and evacuate the surrounding civilians to prevent innocent people from being caught in the crossfire.

A local teenager?
"Okay, let them come."

Xia Nuo nodded slightly.

Luo quickly turned and left, and soon he brought over two dusty-faced boys.

It was Abbi and Ani.

"My lord! It really is you! I...I'm not dreaming, am I? Hey, Abby, I'm really not dreaming, right!"

When Ani saw Shano, her eyes lit up with excitement.

His ultimate dream for this voyage was to reach the New World smoothly and arrive at the territory of the fallen.

As a result, the boat was lost, the coast was blocked, and before they even had time to feel frustrated, the Fallen One suddenly appeared out of nowhere and came to their small town!
And the one leading it is none other than Lord Xia Nuo!
"Don't get too excited, or you'll offend Lord Xia Nuo."

Abby, standing next to her, appeared more composed. She awkwardly tugged at her friend's sleeve and whispered a reminder.

"I'm sorry, sir!"

Ani woke up with a start, blushed, scratched her head, and said somewhat embarrassedly:
“My name is Annie. My lifelong dream has always been to join your ranks, to join the Fallen Ones! Today, to have the honor of seeing you in person, and to have your subordinates rescue us from the Celestial Dragons, I… I am truly…”

"Get to the point, you idiot!"

Abby finally couldn't hold back any longer and interrupted, "Sir, it's like this! Right now, everyone on the island probably doesn't know what's really going on and is being kept in the dark. Ani and I can testify for you!"

"We witnessed firsthand the World Government's agents blockading the coast, trying to trap us all, and we also saw the Fallen Ones rescue the island's inhabitants! The truth should not be distorted, and good people should not be questioned!"

“Yes, yes, yes, Abby and I have lived here for over ten years and know so many people. Everyone will definitely believe in us!” Ani quickly added from the side.

Xia Nuo listened quietly to what the two boys had to say. Looking at their sincere expressions, she chuckled and reached out to ruffle their hair.

Behind him, Kuina, Kuma, and the other top executives exchanged glances and smiled. Huh?
The two boys scratched their heads in bewilderment.

What are you all laughing about? Their concerns are probably valid.

The Fallen Ones went to great lengths to make this trip for them, and if the World Government turns around and smears them, causing the people to repay kindness with enmity, that would be infuriating!
"This gesture is appreciated, we have received it, thank you both."

Xiong smiled and said, "But don't worry, the captain has already made arrangements for this."

“Victor,” Shano turned his gaze to the side, “you don’t need to hide anymore, come out and show the two children something.”

"Yes, my lord."

A respectful voice rang out, and the light that was so close to Abby and Annie behind them suddenly distorted.

A thin man in a black uniform, smoking a pipe, slowly revealed himself as his disguise, which matched the color of his surroundings, faded away.

It was Victor, the head of the intelligence department of the Fallen Ones and a Chameleon Fruit user.

"Wow--!"

The two boys were nearly scared out of their wits. What was with this cold-looking uncle? When did he start standing there so close to the back of their heads?
In addition...

Hey, what's that guy holding in his hands? Is it a Den Den Mushi?

"It's a video recording Den Den Mushi."

Viktor winked at the boy and gently pressed a button on the shell with his right hand. "It can stream live, and of course, it also has a projection playback function."

Blue~
The Den Den Mushi in Viktor's hand slowly opened its eyes, projecting a huge image.

Meanwhile, Nojiko immediately flicked her finger, creating a large cube of snow to serve as a whiteboard backdrop.

The scene depicting this moment is none other than the central square of the Kingdom of Lubnir—

Countless people gathered here, looking at the big screen with expressions of fear or anger.

And what was being shown on that screen was the same scene that had been playing earlier, where the masked host on the platform with the Golden Bell was excitedly reading out the rules of the Celestial Dragons hunting game!
"This……"

Ani's eyes widened, finally realizing, "So you guys had been..."

"Yes."

Viktor nodded calmly and said, "From the conversations between the Celestial Dragons before the hunting game began, to the conversations between the agents, to the host announcing the rules, to the Celestial Dragons being killed, all the way to the Navy's defeat and the Five Elders' execution, all the footage has been broadcast throughout the island."

"Now, everyone in this country has witnessed the true face of the world government, and this is just the beginning. Next, the curtain will spread these images all over the world and reveal the truth to the world!"

The two boys were dumbfounded.

Jack was dumbfounded: "Huh? We had this kind of arrangement!"

As expected of Boss Xia Nuo, he's thought of everything so thoroughly!

"What were you listening to at that previous secret operations meeting?!"

Kuina laughed in exasperation and kicked the idiot hard. "Even the captains know this perfectly well. How can you, the highest-ranking officer, act like this!"

"After hearing the battle plan, I started imagining in my mind who I should beat up and which guy I should defeat in order to restore my reputation and wash away the humiliation of being beaten up last time."

Jack covered his butt, feeling wronged. "I really didn't notice what the boss was saying behind me, Boss."

"You dare to slack off during a meeting chaired by Lord Xia Nuo."

Kuina remained expressionless, her right hand resting on the Wado Ichimonji at her waist. "If there's a next time, you can forget about getting your ivory."

"understood."

Jack shrank back and obediently stepped aside.

This is no joke. Even if a life is returned, it's not that easy for ivory to grow back.

Back in Water 7, the hair that Kaido broke off took him several months to grow back!

the other side.

*Snap*, Viktor casually shut down the Den Den Mushi, the light screen dissipated, and he smiled at the two boys:

"In short, this is the role I played in this operation. Even those who aren't good at fighting can contribute in other ways, just like me."

Huh? Ani was taken aback.

This uncle is actually quite nice. Did he realize that I wanted to join the Fallen Ones but didn't dare to speak up, so he encouraged me to take the initiative to confess my feelings to Lord Xia Nuo?

"Where is your fighting ability lacking? Uncle, you're too modest!"

Abby exclaimed admiringly from the side, "You recorded the whole thing! In such a dangerous environment, an ordinary person would probably have been blown up long ago. Putting everything else aside, you must be incredibly skilled at defense and dodging!"

"Haha, thank you for the compliment."

Viktor couldn't help but chuckle. "But you've misunderstood. I'm not very good at either of those things. The reason I haven't been injured is because after the war started, there was another guy who quietly contributed and has been protecting me all along."

He snapped his fingers to the side, deactivating his power, and a punk youth with a green mohawk appeared.

It was Bartolomeo, with one hand still on Victor's back, who was also affected by the chameleon effect.

Conversely, his Barrier-Barrier Fruit ability also protected Victor and the video Den Den Mushi.

"This was a suggestion I made to Lord Xia Nuo. How about it? Pretty great, right?"

Seeing the two boys staring at him in surprise, Barto proudly pointed his thumb to his chin, "This is a genius idea that Lord Shano personally praised during the war council!"

During the last World War, he and Chopper formed an invincible battlefield ambulance.

This time, he and Viktor complemented each other, forming a war correspondent vehicle with maximum stealth and defense!

The Barrier Fruit is truly versatile.

Does the world government want to conceal the truth and distort the facts?
We have to ask Uncle Barto first!

Barto grew increasingly smug, assumed a horse stance, put his hands on his hips, and threw his head back, letting out a wicked, mocking laugh:

"Hey ha ha ha ha ha—!"

The others were speechless and facepalmed. Barto was a very loyal and enthusiastic guy, and everyone liked him quite a bit. The only problem was his smug look, which was really unbearable to watch.

"There is one last thing I need to report to you, sir."

Viktor carefully put away the Den Den Mushi and reported:
"We have collected all the prizes from the Celestial Dragons' hunting tournament. We have also figured out exactly what they are by compiling and studying the video recordings and consulting with Ms. Robin remotely."

"Oh?"

Xia Nuo finally showed a hint of interest. "Let's go back to the ship first and have someone bring the things over so everyone can take a look."

He almost forgot about that.

This is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding aspects of this operation.

The fact that God Valley was kidnapped back then, just to create hype, shows that even the world's most beautiful woman, Shakky, was kidnapped.

Although the Celestial Dragons are worthless, the prizes they offer as rewards to their own people must be rare and precious items that are worth looking forward to.
