One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

The Five Elders gave an unquestionable order from the other end of the phone.

really.

Even the Five Elders couldn't sit still any longer.

Sengoku agreed in a deep voice, and after hanging up the phone, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and rushed to Mary Geoise.

Between power.

Contrary to the somber and oppressive atmosphere that Zhan Guo had anticipated, the five world's most powerful figures sat upright on the sofa, their expressions not particularly grim, but rather exuding a sense of composure and complete control.

"Sengoku, what are your Navy's thoughts on the Beasts Pirates right now?"

Nass Juro, one of the Five Elders, spoke first, his voice calm.

What other opinions are there?

Whether it's recruiting soldiers or anything else, it all boils down to one word—money!

While harboring resentment in his heart, Zhan Guo maintained a respectful demeanor and expressed his thoughts on expanding the army and enhancing combat power in a relatively tactful manner.

To his surprise, after hearing his request, the Five Elders exchanged glances and showed expressions of "I knew it."

"We have summoned you here today to solve this problem for you and for the Navy."

Satan, with his white curly hair, said, "The experimental project led by Vegapunk has achieved decisive results that can be replicated on a large scale and can be directly used to enhance the strength of your navy."

"Is it the Pacifista Project or the Seraphim Project?"

Zhan Guo's spirits lifted, and he immediately pressed for answers.

As a naval admiral, he was naturally aware of Punk Hazard, that "money pit" that devoured astronomical budgets every year.

The Navy not only stationed an admiral (Kizaru) there for protection, but also allocated a significant portion of its annual military budget to that location.

"All."

Even Satan Saint had a slight smile on his face when he announced the news.

"What? Is the news true?"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo was so shocked that he even forgot the etiquette between superiors and subordinates and blurted out "confirmation".

"Are you questioning us?" the blond Five Elders, Pittor Saint, sneered, his tone displeased.

"I wouldn't dare! It's just that this news is so exciting!"

Zhan Guo hurriedly explained, but his heart was in turmoil.

If this is true, it would undoubtedly be a shot in the arm for the navy.

"rest assured."

Satan Saint calmly replied, "The sample has been completed and has passed all combat tests. It is ready for delivery to the Navy at any time."

"Don't worry. The sample has been manufactured and passed inspection; it's just waiting for acceptance," Saint Satan said calmly.

"That's wonderful. I was just worried about our navy's lack of strength." Sengoku's eyes lit up.

He knew all too well what the design parameters of these two weapons meant.

Pacifistas can perfectly fill the huge gap in the Navy's current mid-to-lower-level combat capabilities, becoming an iron torrent that sweeps away miscellaneous troops and maintains the front line.

The even more powerful Seraph is designed to be at a terrifying level, between the Navy Vice Admirals and Admirals!

With them, the general can free up more time to deal with the new situation at sea.

Most importantly, these can be copied in batches!

This news is a timely help for the navy at present.

The Five Elders were surprisingly easy to talk to at this point, and they actually nodded and agreed to hand over all the experimental subjects to the Navy.

"Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch."

Nasujiro Sei said calmly, "Since you have enjoyed this 'benefit,' you must also bear the corresponding price."

The costs for the subsequent research, manufacturing, and maintenance of the Pacifistas and Seraphim will be directly allocated from your Navy's annual budget.

With a casual remark, the Navy's budget not only didn't increase, but actually decreased significantly.

Zhan Guo frowned slightly, but did not voice his objection.

As long as the pacifists and seraphim don't exaggerate their parameters, sacrificing a portion of the regular budget is not unacceptable.

It simply means building fewer branch bases, constructing fewer new warships, and recruiting fewer new soldiers next year.

Compared to the potential strategic advantages, this deal is... worthwhile.

With mixed feelings, Zhan Guo bowed and took his leave.

Watching his retreating figure disappear through the door, Maz Saint, with his long white beard, spoke with a hint of doubt: "The Pacifistas are one thing, but the Seraphim, are we really going to hand them over to the Navy so easily?"

The former possesses at most the destructive power of a lieutenant general, while the potential of the Seraph is unfathomable.

According to the experimental report, the newly born Seraphim already possessed the terrifying power to easily kill a lieutenant general.

More importantly, unlike the pacifists who are intellectually deficient and can only execute fixed programs, Seraphim are capable of growth!

They possess exceptional learning abilities, are equipped with carefully selected Devil Fruit powers, and have a powerful bloodline originating from the Lunaria race. Given time, their combat strength will be almost comparable to that of a Marine Admiral!

This is a truly "living" weapon with limitless possibilities.

"Hmph, if you want the watchdog to fight back against the wolf, you have to throw it a few bones with meat on them."

Satan Saint's lips curled into a cold smile, and he added, "Moreover, Vegapunk's greatest value to us has never been that of a pacifist or a seraphim, but rather—'The Holy Mother's Flame'!"

He looked around at his colleagues: "As long as the Navy can use these 'bones' to buy us enough time for 'Holy Mother Flame' to be successfully born, this current sacrifice is insignificant."

"If we don't give them some decent bargaining chips, and we're unwilling to get involved ourselves, the Beasts Pirates could really wipe out the entire Marine Headquarters in one fell swoop."

The other four elders remained silent for a moment, then nodded with grim expressions.

They had to admit that the Beasts Pirates, with their two emperors coexisting, were a threat that the World Government could not ignore.

But would they really go all out and wager all their resources to wager a full-scale war against the beasts?

That's not OK.

The core strength of the world government must not be easily exposed or depleted unless it is at a critical moment.

For now, let the Navy and the Beasts Pirates wear each other down.

Saint Satan had clearly been planning this for a long time and was confident: "Don't worry, according to the latest news from 'her,' the development of 'Holy Mother's Flame' is progressing very smoothly. I expect that we will see the finished product in a few years."

Once the Holy Mother's Blazing Flame is successfully developed and that thing can be activated, all the current threats and turmoil will be nothing more than a minor ailment, which can be easily resolved at that time.

The bald Elder, Saint Vochuli, frowned slightly: "'She,' is she reliable?"

Satan Saint revealed a knowing, all-encompassing smile.

"On this vast ocean, no one can resist the temptation to become a 'god'."

Chapter 195 Reactions Around the World! The Navy Arrives in Punk Hazard!

The tsunami triggered by the World Economic News report cannot possibly affect only world governments.

The whole world was stunned speechless by the news, and then plunged into an unprecedented uproar and commotion.

Is a new Pirate King about to appear?

"Who else can stop the Beasts Pirates? The Navy?"

"Don't be ridiculous! Even the Navy itself would struggle to protect itself against that kind of power!"

"Hahahaha! The biggest winner of this era is about to be born! The old balance is over, this is the perfect time to gamble on the future! I'm going to the New World and join the Beasts Pirates!"

"Can the Navy... still protect us?"

People reacted differently.

However, compared to ordinary people who had little connection with the new world, the great figures who stood at the top of the world were undoubtedly more deeply affected.

Cake Island.

Charlotte Linlin stared wide-eyed at the shocking photograph in the newspaper, even her favorite cream cake temporarily losing its appeal.

"What a joke... That bastard Kaido, he's lost just like that?"

Despite constantly bickering and arguing with her "good younger brother" and seemingly not taking him seriously, she always remained wary of Kaido's power deep down.

Without a doubt, that was power on the same level as hers.

But now, this strongest creature has failed.

"Mom. Whether we admit it or not, the Beasts Pirates now possess the terrifying power to sweep away any single force in the New World."

Katakuri arrived immediately, his voice as taut as a taut string, carrying an unusual gravity.

"We must plan for the future."

Putting ourselves in their shoes, if the Charlotte family possessed such overwhelming power, they would never have allowed too many discordant voices in the New World.

Charlotte Linlin fell into deep thought.

Although she was very unwilling, she also understood that her family was no match for the Beasts Pirates at this time.

Her thick fingers tapped unconsciously on the armrest of the throne.

After thinking for a moment, she looked in the direction of Beehive Island.

Perhaps... it's time to reconnect with an "old friend".

The New World, a calm and tranquil sea.

Like a beluga whale, the Moby Dick sailed slowly on the sea, just like its aging owner.

However, the deck today is devoid of the usual grandeur and hustle and bustle.

The sea breeze seemed to grow heavier, brushing against the shoulders of every silent pirate.

Even the usually most optimistic and carefree captains stood quietly, some staring at the newspapers in their hands, others gazing at the distant sea, their brows furrowed.

"This is... a real problem."

Fencing fencer Bitta twirled his mustache, his voice deep and resonant.
