Chapter 409 Two Emperors vs. Three Admirals of the Navy

The once chaotic battlefield has fallen into calm at some point.

The remaining forces of the Whitebeard Pirates, caught between two Yonko crews and the Marines, have fallen into despair.

They neither surrendered nor resisted; they simply gripped their swords tightly and stood stubbornly in place.

Under these circumstances, Kate's casual words traveled very far.

"kill him!"

The parchment in her hand, bearing the World Government's mark and the Celestial Dragons' symbol, was his source of confidence.

Strangely, the navy forces surrounding them remained silent.

Kaido and Linlin, who were about to make their move, paused, their expressions shifting.

They allied with Kate because of her status as a Celestial Dragon and the promised territorial division.

Most importantly, Kate promised to promote the legitimacy of the 'Four Emperors,' allowing them to become true emperors with vast territories, above the member states, just like the constituent nations.

Do they need it? They both need it and don't, but this is an opportunity.

So they came. As for whether Kate can keep her promise, that will depend on her mobilizing a special force to defeat Shanks.

Kaido and Linlin believed it, because only they understood what that special power meant.

That is supreme power.

Seeing the indifferent navy and pirates, Kate's smile faded slightly.

"What, the Navy is no longer obeying the World Government's orders?"

You do not represent the world government.

Sengoku said coldly, forced by the order from the Five Elders, he had already pushed the Navy to its limit by stopping the battle.

Now they're actually demanding that the Navy execute a lieutenant general with no criminal record and outstanding military achievements in public without any reason.

And this was in front of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers!

If Sengoku could carry out such an order, it would mean completely abandoning the navy's duty and responsibility, and treating himself as a dog kept by the Celestial Dragons.

"Boss, you've already guessed that the Navy won't move?"

"Well, these characters aren't robots. They have their own feelings and intelligence, so they certainly can't carry out such absurd orders."

Li Xia remained standing there expressionless, ever since he learned that many people could deduce a great deal from subtle changes in facial expressions.

He was used to keeping a straight face during battles.

“Kate knew that too, so she was just testing the waters; her real trump card hasn’t been revealed yet.”

After a very brief exchange in the team channel, silence fell again.

"It just didn't work out."

Kate leaped onto the massive, collapsed debris, appearing as light as a feather despite wearing heavy armor.

She sat on the rock face, swinging her legs:
"That's why I hate people like you. You're just living figurines, but you act like you have real consciousness and emotions."

Honestly, we masters just obey their orders.

"Alright, let's stick to the plan."

She snapped her fingers, and the man in the suit beside her took out another piece of parchment, unfolded it, and handed it to Sengoku:

"The World Government's Five Elders meeting has reached a supreme resolution: the Navy must immediately eliminate the Four Emperors: Kaido of the Beasts and Big Mom Linlin!"

Kate's face broke into a wicked smile, and she uttered a few words lightly:

"at all costs!"

Li Xia's pupils contracted, and he rushed towards the outer edge, even grabbing Ace and Luffy beside him.

The next second, the raging Conqueror's Haki created a massive shockwave that spread outwards.

The marines, still unaware of what was happening, were powerless to resist the Conqueror's Haki attacks from Kaido and Big Mom.

In just a short time, more than half of the original 80,000 people collapsed.

Kaido and Big Mom's roars echoed through the sky:

"You lied to me!"

The battle erupted without warning. The combined power of the two Emperors and three Admirals instantly leveled buildings within a radius of hundreds of meters. Flames burned, a chilling aura spread, and golden flashes streaked across the sky.

The massive spiked club and broadsword were covered in jet-black Armament Haki, and the sound of their collision shook the entire Marineford.

"Kurotan! Bring Ace and Luffy away!"

Li Xia forcefully tossed the two into the air, then suddenly turned around, a faint shockwave emanating from beneath his feet.

"Oh!"

Moonwalk combined with the Flying Technique results in extremely strong instantaneous acceleration.

A scorching streak of fire grazed past his body, leaving only a faint 'whoosh' sound echoing in the air.

The hidden sniper fired again, and Li Xia coldly watched Kate and the man in the suit below, who were grinning.

He knew what they were thinking; they wanted to force him to make the first move and strip him of his naval identity.

Or perhaps this is the only way, to desperately evade.

Light seemed to be gathering in Li Xia's eyes. He tilted his head, and another streak of fire grazed past him.

The 'whoosh' sound of bullets whizzing past echoed in my ears.

With his right arm outstretched at his side, a faint electric current gathered in his palm.

"Zi La"

Blinding flashes of lightning illuminated the scene as Li Xia hovered high in the sky, seemingly holding lightning in his hand.

But what gave them this misconception?

Make them feel that I care about my identity in the Navy?
"Oh!"

A huge shockwave erupted from beneath Li Xia's feet, and his figure flew rapidly toward Kate like a ghost.

This is the 'Moon Shave' that can only be achieved with the help of the Flying Technique, a high-speed aerial movement comparable to 'Shave'.

Kate's smile vanished instantly. Even though she appeared relaxed, she had already regarded the other person as a formidable opponent.

The panel detected by the man in the black suit wasn't very large; a series of question marks indicated that the other party's will and mental attributes were superior to his.

Adding to the already detected agility and physique, the person before us is very likely a top-tier lone wolf with all four attributes developed!

Moreover, upon seeing the real person, she immediately recognized who it was.

"He once killed Baal, a second-tier arena powerhouse."

Kate licked her lips, her excitement growing stronger. She really wanted to know how he would react when he saw the gift she had prepared for him.

What kind of expression will it have?
"Fuck!"

While still in mid-air, Li Xia forcefully hurled the lightning bolt in his hand.

"Grott—Ready!"

Kate said coldly in the team channel.

The lightning was incredibly fast, seemingly arriving in an instant.

"Energy level - 3: Has speed but no power. Harassment?"

Kate silently assessed the situation and then scoffed dismissively.

Just as he was about to reach out and stop the lightning.
