After a moment of silence,
Satan Saint's voice slowly came out, saying, "Let's put the arrest on hold for now."
"Ok?"
After hearing this, the Warring States period was stunned.
In the past, when the reputation of the world's nobles was damaged, the Five Elders' orders were always to completely eradicate the threat and serve as a warning to all rebellious elements who harbored illusions.
The game merchant who provoked the Celestial Dragons is actually being asked to put on hold for now?
Although he was puzzled, Sengoku answered without hesitation, saying immediately, "Understood!"
Satan Saint's solemn voice rang out, "Dispatch people from Marine Headquarters to contact the game merchants. Without angering them, try your best to find out their strength and the abilities of their Devil Fruits."
"This……"
Upon hearing this request, the Warring States period was filled with even greater doubt.
Not being able to offend the game merchant and also needing to test their strength—this kind of requirement is even more complicated than dealing with the Four Emperors of the New World.
Is it worth the Five Elders going to such lengths for a Devil Fruit user who is so arrogant and ignorant?
The Warring States period was unclear about this, and he didn't want to think about it.
Having risen to the position of Admiral of the Navy, he possessed a keen political awareness and had already sensed something unusual.
If I keep thinking about it, I'll offend the Five Elders.
It can only be said that... game merchants are not as simple as they seem.
Just as he was about to hang up, Satan Saint's voice rang out again, "Bugsy the pirate, once served as an apprentice crew member on the Orleans Jackson, and has been active in the East Blue region ever since."
Sengoku was slightly puzzled; why bring up Buggy the pirate at this time?
Is the intention to bring Bucky, who was cheated by the game merchant's rewards, to justice?
"He is very likely a Celestial Dragon who has been living away from home. Pangaea has detailed family trees and inheritance records. We must not overstep the bounds of propriety and must bring him back to Mary Geoise intact!"
Satan's voice struck Sengoku's mind like a heavy hammer.
Are you kidding me?!
Warring States period: His heart was pounding. How could such a coincidence happen?
The game merchant happened to select the pirate Buggy, and the prize was Celestial Dragon bloodline. Satan Saint then confirmed it for the other party.
The most likely outcome of this matter is...
The game merchant possessed the secret of Buggy's Celestial Dragon identity. After making prior arrangements, he deliberately exposed Buggy's Celestial Dragon identity by issuing rewards.
Because they possess secrets about the Celestial Dragons, even Saint Satan has to be cautious in dealing with them.
Probably?
It can't be...
Could a mere pirate really transform into a world noble through a lucky draw by a game merchant?
what is that?
A god who grants all wishes?!
Chapter 154 Killed the pirate Buggy and claimed credit with the Celestial Dragons!
We left the lounge and returned to the conference room.
When Sengoku, with a strange expression, uttered the Five Elders' order, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
"How is that possible? Could the prize be real?"
"How did the mysterious game merchant manage to have even Celestial Dragon bloodlines?"
The lieutenant generals, whose seats were slightly further back, were the most surprised and shocked.
They are not exceptionally gifted beings like Onigumo, Fire Mountain, or even the Marine Admirals, who possess the confidence and will to disregard the authority of ordinary Celestial Dragons.
Naval commanders like them, who have risen through the ranks, are well aware of the privileges enjoyed by the Celestial Dragons.
They valued the status of a world aristocrat highly.
Even if you had a Supreme Grade Sword or a Logia-type Devil Fruit right in front of you, nothing would be as impactful as the Celestial Dragon bloodline.
Even if the first two are extremely rare, they are still within the realm of common knowledge, and there is always a slight probability of finding them.
What's the deal with the "Celestial Dragon bloodline"?
Just like the fairy tale of the Great Talker of the West Sea.
The gods said that the world needed a red earth continent, so the red earth continent that separated the world rose from the ground.
The gods said they would grant you Celestial Dragon blood, and an ordinary pirate actually became a Celestial Dragon?
Rewrite reality!
Only the three admirals, two admiral candidates, and some vice admirals were able to maintain a calm attitude.
As expected, Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded and said, "It was anticipated that the mysterious game merchant would deliberately set a trap and give the absurd prize of 'Celestial Dragon Bloodline' to Buggy, who is himself a Celestial Dragon."
Although she is a user of the Wash-Wash Fruit, which allows her to dry objects like clothes, she still possesses the ability to do so.
He possesses strength surpassing that of an ordinary lieutenant general.
But what truly set her apart and made her a core member of the Navy Headquarters was the wealth of knowledge she possessed, as well as her expertise in strategic analysis and her broad perspective.
Just by hearing the Five Elders' orders, he roughly deduced the key point.
The sound she analyzed
After the noise in the conference room subsided slightly, some lieutenant generals realized what was going on and immediately understood.
How could such an outrageous thing possibly happen?
As expected, Vice Admiral Tsuru was resourceful and saw through the mysterious game merchant's tricks, allowing these naval officers to save face and avoid being completely fooled.
As expected of Lady Crane, who is known as a wise strategist.
Akainu was more concerned about the Five Elders' orders and frowned as he asked, "So, we need to bring back the pirate Buggy intact, and we can't overstep the bounds of propriety, otherwise it will lead to the enemy's scheme succeeding."
Buggy, the pirate who provoked the Celestial Dragons, was originally supposed to be executed, but he was suddenly taken back to the Holy Land by the Navy with the same etiquette as the Celestial Dragons.
Doesn't this indirectly confirm the authenticity of the other party's reward?
Vice Admiral Tsuru rubbed his forehead and said with a wry smile, "Isn't this the style of the World Nobles? They don't care how chaotic the East Blue becomes, but if they disrespect Buggy, who is suspected of being a Celestial Dragon, our Navy will be in trouble."
The Five Elders are not ordinary, pampered Celestial Dragons; they possess immense strength, keen political acumen, and hold sway over the World Government.
They knew very well that doing so would cause countless pirates and marines, and even nobles of the member states, to misjudge the reincarnation game, leading to enormous chaos.
But they don't care.
They don't care about the war that might break out in the East China Sea, the plundering and killing by pirates, the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to suppress the pirates, or the exploitation of commoners by nobles!
They could have secretly brought back the pirate Buggy as quickly as possible without causing any chain reaction.
But the Five Elders chose the most troublesome method.
This is because the world's nobles cannot suffer the slightest injustice; the bloodshed and sacrifice of countless ordinary people are not even worth the slightest emotional fluctuation of the world's nobles.
"That's really awful!"
Aokiji didn't remove his sleep mask from beginning to end, which made his tone sound somewhat half asleep.
Akainu frowned and said with displeasure, "Aokiji, shut up. I'll let it go since you're still half asleep, but don't let this kind of slander against the World Nobles continue!"
Aokiji ignored him and continued to sleep soundly.
The other naval commanders were already used to it.
The three admirals, Kizaru Borsalino, upholds an "ambiguous justice," which means he acts entirely based on his mood. However, because he doesn't often interact with the regular navy and spends most of his time with the scientific combat unit, his communication with the other two is not frequent.
The remaining two, Akainu and Aokiji, often clashed due to differences in their ideologies.
Sengoku was already having a headache and didn't want to deal with the conflict between the two, so he turned around and said, "General Tsuru, I'm leaving this matter to you."
"Understood, I will head to the East China Sea immediately."
"Karp asked me for leave to go back to his hometown. He should be in the East China Sea right now. Let him handle the task of testing the strength of the game merchants."
"kill him!"
A large, dilapidated pirate ship.
With a sinister expression, Krieg stood at the bow of the ship, ordering his crew to quickly steer the ship toward the Buggy Pirates.
He was fully armed, clad in golden armor equipped with countless weapons, and held a massive, heavy lance in his hand, ready to strike Bucky's head.
"My painstakingly built fleet was shattered into pieces by Hawkeye."
"To make up for the losses, we must get Buggy's head. He dared to impersonate a Celestial Dragon, a world noble, so his bounty must be very high!"
After Hawkeye defeated the Krieg Pirates, he lost interest in continuing the pursuit.
Unlike in the original story, Krieg was not so miserable that he was almost starving to death. With only his main ship left, Krieg happened to find the Contract Fruit and also gathered in the East Blue Trial Tower area.
Thinking of Hawkeye, Krieg was filled with hatred and muttered, "Just wait, damn Hawkeye. Once I get the bounty, I'll rebuild the Krieg Grand Fleet and then march back to the Grand Line."
"Don't let him get there first, let's rush over too!"
The other pirates also rushed to start their pirate ships.
The nobles of the member states also realized that this was a good opportunity for the world's nobles to claim credit, and they couldn't let the pirates beat them to it.
For a time,
Buggy, who received the game reward, became the target of everyone's anger, and the Buggy Pirates crew members trembled and shrank into the cabin.
"Captain Bucky, we will hold a funeral for you after you are executed!"
First mate Mochi hunched his neck and peered through the round window in the hull of the ship at the densely packed ships of the pirate and noble alliance, filled with extreme terror.
Although the contract reward slightly increased his strength and his taming skills could make the lion Liki even more ferocious, it was still no match for the current situation.
