Lieutenant General Squirrel was stunned and at a loss for what to do. He couldn't understand why the once wise and mighty commander-in-chief had suddenly turned into a crazy, mentally ill old man.
Just as Vice Admiral Momonga was at a loss, he suddenly saw Saint Satan and the other four arrive. As if he had met his saviors, Vice Admiral Momonga rushed forward and opened his mouth to ask the Five Elders for help.
However, the next moment.
Lieutenant General Momonga witnessed a scene he would never forget in his life.
Satan slowly drew his sword, and the blade that was originally pointing at the enemy pierced into Steelbone Hollow's heart without any resistance.
This naval commander did not die at the hands of the enemy, but instead met a tragic end at the hands of the great man he had served his entire life.
How pathetic, how laughable!
Chapter 193 The past cannot be undone, but the future can be changed!
West Sea.
The sky was dark and gloomy, and the sea was surging with waves.
A newsbird flew across the ocean, carrying a satchel on its shoulder, and from afar, one could see a magnificent governor's mansion standing in the land of flowers.
The governor’s residence is constructed from countless huge stones and has a triple spiral defensive structure, consisting of a central courtyard, a gate tower, and an outer stone wall.
The tall, steep slope meanders, and the fortification known as the Stone Wall is fan-shaped and curves slightly outward at the top, separating the Governor's Mansion from the outside streets. It is difficult for ordinary thieves to climb and leap in, while also connecting the various areas within the Governor's Mansion.
The central courtyard has a maze-like layout with winding paths and lush trees on both sides, and colorful flowers vying for attention. Without someone familiar with the area to guide you, it would be easy to get lost.
The upturned eaves on the roof, combined with the white paint on the exterior of the Governor's Mansion city wall, make it look like a white dove spreading its wings at first glance.
Spectacular, magnificent.
This is the first impression the Governor's Mansion gives to outsiders.
The newsbird circled and flew over the Governor's Mansion for a while before finally identifying Yang Ming's location. It let out a clear chirp as a reminder, then took out a newspaper from the World Economic News Agency that had just been published in its satchel and dropped it down, landing precisely in Yang Ming's hand.
Returning to the Western Sea from the Flying Terrifying Three-Masted Sail, Yang Ming could travel back and forth between the two places via the Dimensional Array Shangri-La without consuming too much time, thanks to the spatial anchor points constructed in both locations.
At this point, more than half a month had passed since Yang Ming caused a ruckus in the holy land of Mary Geoise.
As Yang Ming expected, the Celestial Dragons, having suffered a calamity, are now too preoccupied to deal with his actions in the West Blue to punish the Mafia.
The only strange thing is that for the past two weeks, the entire sea has been calm and still, and there has been no news about the destruction of the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
It wasn't until Yang Ming looked down at the latest published newspapers that he finally understood what had happened.
Mary Geoise is recruiting skilled craftsmen worldwide to renovate its old castle.
Commander-in-Chief of the People's Liberation Army, Gang Gukong, suffered a sudden heart attack while on duty due to overwork and passed away early last night.
The Dark Night Pirates' roster has been revealed, with Lee Sin, the Dark Night Overlord, having a bounty of 50 billion Berries. Could he become the fifth Emperor of the Sea?
Three seemingly unrelated news items, appearing completely illogical.
The World Economic News Agency often claims that its newspaper pursues truth and current events, but unexpectedly, on this major issue, they have tacitly chosen to remain silent and produce this kind of news that deceives the outside world.
Come to think of it, the Holy Land Mary Geoise is related to the face of the World Government and hides Lord Im's ultimate secret. Morgans is the president of the World Economic News Agency, who is envied by many, and is also one of the six kings of the underworld. But in front of the World Government, he is just a junior member. Naturally, he dares not report the truth.
The reports about the Holy Land of Mary Geoise were within Yang Ming's expectations, but what was the situation when the Commander-in-Chief of the entire army, Steel Bone Kong, suddenly suffered a heart attack?
Do you think you're Goku from the Dragon Ball world?
Yang Ming had a vivid memory of this former Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.
Kong the Steel Bone is a very traditional naval commander. He has no Devil Fruit abilities, nor any fancy swordsmanship. He has only honed his physical skills to the extreme, so that every inch of his bones is constantly hardened by Armament Haki. He has no weaknesses and is extremely difficult to deal with.
Such a master of martial arts, instead of dying on the battlefield, succumbed to illness?
It's like they've rubbed the world's intelligence into the ground repeatedly!
Yang Ming sensed something unusual in this seemingly bizarre news.
Suppressing his doubts, Yang Ming opened the latest bounty poster attached to the newspaper.
List of members of the Dark Night Pirates:
Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, has a bounty of 50 billion Berries.
Captain John, a former member of the Rocks Pirates, has a bounty of 40 billion Berries.
Enel, with a bounty of 20 billion Berries.
Oars the Demon, with a bounty of 18 billion Berries.
Ryuma, the Great Swordsman, has a bounty of 15 billion Berries.
Jack the Drought, a former member of the Beasts Pirates, has a bounty of 24 billion Berries.
The entire Dark Night Pirates crew has only 6 members, yet their total bounty has already exceeded 10 billion Berries, which is extremely rare.
As to what great thing this successor of the Will of Rocks did to warrant such a hefty bounty from the World Government, there are many conflicting accounts due to the deliberate interception of key information, with each side having its own version of events, and no one can find a convincing explanation.
As the person involved, Yang Ming had already anticipated that his alias would be wanted with a hefty reward.
"The fifth Emperor of the Sea?"
"This reporter really dares to write that!"
Yang Ming chuckled softly, silently put the newspaper aside, and took out a Den Den Mushi to contact his backer at the Navy Headquarters.
I tried to contact the Warring States Marshal, but no one answered.
I tried to contact Kap, but no one answered.
I tried to contact Chief Instructor Zefa, but no one answered.
After three consecutive unsuccessful phone calls, Yang Ming's expression gradually darkened.
If only one person doesn't answer the phone, that's fine.
The fact that three of the Navy's top combatants have gone missing temporarily is quite unusual!
Yang Ming urgently needed to know what was happening within the Navy Headquarters, otherwise he would be like a headless fly, losing his grasp on the overall situation.
Having your eyes covered and ears covered is not a pleasant experience.
After a moment's thought, Yang Ming dialed another unfamiliar number.
"Lieutenant General Doberman, it's me."
Yang Ming, posing as Lee Qing, the Dark Lord, once fought against the three admirals of the Navy Headquarters. In that world-shaking battle, Vice Admiral Doberman also participated and unfortunately had the Shadow Mantra mark implanted by Yang Ming.
Lieutenant General Doberman, who craved power, has, after so much time, been successfully assimilated by the Shadow Manipulation Technique and has become Yang Ming's man.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, as if they had found a secluded and deserted place, before a deep voice came through:
"Is there anything important you need me to do?"
"I'd like to know what's been going on at Naval Headquarters lately."
Lieutenant General Doberman carefully chose his words before revealing the astonishing truth.
"The Commander-in-Chief of the entire army, Steel Bone Kong, was secretly executed by the Five Elders. At the G1 Naval Base, from the base commander, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, to the trainee soldiers, everyone was demoted to slaves. The entire G1 Naval Base was weaker than ever before."
"For these two matters, Garp and Zephyr caused a scene at the World Government meeting and were reprimanded by the Five Elders for not understanding the big picture. Thanks to Fleet Admiral Sengoku's mediation, the two were spared the death penalty for offending the Five Elders. However, although they were spared the death penalty, they could not escape punishment. Both of them were secretly imprisoned in the Deep Sea Prison, and it is unknown when they will be released."
"Currently, only admirals at the rank of vice admiral or above in the Navy Headquarters are qualified to know this information, and each of us has signed a confidentiality agreement, which prohibits us from disclosing the information to the outside world. Otherwise, we will invite unforeseen disasters. No more than thirty people know the information."
Although Vice Admiral Doberman had tried to be as tactful as possible, Yang Ming knew Garp and Chief Instructor Zephyr very well. Given their fiery tempers, they might join forces to attack the World Government after hearing about their old leader's tragic fate, only to be defeated by the Five Elders in the end.
Commander-in-Chief Steelbone Kong had shown them great kindness, personally promoting them from ordinary soldiers to their current positions. Garp and Chief Instructor Zephyr were known for their loyalty and righteousness, and such kindness was enough to make them set aside all their concerns.
For Yang Ming, Garp was his mentor and guide, and Zeff was his teacher. The two of them had always cared for him and even protected him.
Now, upon hearing that the two had both been imprisoned, Yang Ming's face turned terrifyingly gloomy, and his heart was filled with murderous intent.
calm! calm!
Yang Ming took several deep breaths before he could barely clear his head.
He knew very well that Garp and Chief Instructor Zephyr were important figures in the Navy, and their subordinates were spread throughout the Navy Headquarters, so they would not be in any danger. Even if they were imprisoned in the deep-sea prison, Warden Magellan would not make things difficult for them out of consideration for them. On the contrary, he would provide them with the best rooms and the best service, treating them like royalty.
But! But! But!
Yang Ming simply couldn't swallow this insult!
A cold, fierce light flashed in Yang Ming's eyes as his mind raced, searching for a way to deal with the situation.
Rushing headlong into the deep-sea prison to rescue people is a terrible idea, a reckless act. It's suitable for someone like Luffy, who's all brawn and no brain, but not for Yang Ming. Otherwise, all of Yang Ming's efforts over the past few years would be in vain.
What should we do?
Yang Ming walked back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
The secret execution of Navy Commander-in-Chief Kong, the enslavement of all officers and soldiers at Navy Base G1, and the imprisonment of both Garp and Chief Instructor Zephyr—these successive major events are enough to shake the will of the Navy's high command. Under the influence of a sense of shared fate and pessimism, they might even entertain thoughts they shouldn't normally have.
Yang Ming abruptly stopped, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said:
"Vice Admiral Doberman, if I ordered you to immediately lead your officers in a mutiny against the Navy, how confident are you that you could incite your colleagues to join the rebellion?"
After a moment's thought, Lieutenant General Doberman said:
"Among the giants, Vice Admiral John Garndall, Vice Admiral Laclowa, and Vice Admiral Ronz are all deeply uneasy about the World Government and the Five Elders' handling of the situation, fearing that one day the same thing will happen to them. I am fully confident that I can persuade them to rebel together."
"Lieutenant General Onigumo, Lieutenant General Stromberg, and Lieutenant General Firemount are my longtime friends, as well as Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel's longtime close friends. However, they are very principled, and I am only 60% confident that I can persuade them."
"that's enough!"
Yang Ming's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said in a chilling voice:
The past cannot be undone, but the future can be changed!
"It's time for this world to be reformed!"
Chapter 194 The Source of Qi! The Navy's Mass Mutiny
Under the subtle influence of the Shadow Manipulation Technique, Vice Admiral Doberman was already Yang Ming's man. Even if Yang Ming ordered him to die, he would never say no. What's more, now he was just dragging other naval officers to betray the Navy Headquarters.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Ming checked the system notification.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Under One Person. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"
In Yang Ming's line of sight, a roulette wheel that was invisible to others appeared.
