Sailing: The crew members are all top-notch talents!

Not long ago, Cyborg Kong, who was suffering greatly because of Rocks, suddenly received a call for help.

It was CP0, who was working alongside Saint Rozwald, who called.

Upon learning of the urgency of the situation, Steelbone Kong quickly dispatched Zephyr, who was closest to the location.

The result... the result was that Saint Rozwald died a horrible death, leaving no trace of his body.

"Zeffa, what exactly happened? Who dared to do this?"

Garp and the others were equally surprised when they learned of this news.

Throughout nearly 800 years of history, there have been many audacious pirates who showed no fear even when facing the Celestial Dragons.

But so far, no one has dared to actually kill a Celestial Dragon.

This time, we've really stirred up a hornet's nest.

Facing everyone's gaze, "Zephyr," whose face was equally grim, spoke in a low voice:

"When I got there, they were already dead. All the soldiers and CP0 personnel were gone, leaving only the wreckage of the ships."

"As for the mastermind behind it all, I haven't seen it."

"The incident was sudden, and the killing of a Celestial Dragon was no small matter, so I did not continue to investigate and returned to report immediately."

Zefa shook his head; he was completely baffled by the matter as well.

"General Kong, when CP0 contacted you, didn't they explain who did it?"

Zefa's sudden remark made Steelbone Sky realize his mistake.

He slapped his forehead; he had really been so angry he'd lost his mind.

“The Kingdom of Castor, Renault!!” He spat out the two names through gritted teeth.

"Where is this place?"

Sengoku, Garp, and the others looked at each other, then shook their heads.

They had never heard of this country, let alone the name Renault.

“I know this country.”

Just when everyone was at a loss, Xiao He spoke calmly.

"If I remember correctly, this country should be a neighboring country of the Kingdom of Romanov, a member state of the World Government, right?"

"However, because it is located in a remote sea area, few people know about it."

"As for Renault, since CP0 mentioned this name, he must be from this country as well."

Based on the available information, the crane gave its judgment.

"Hmph, so you're saying that a non-member state not only destroyed the entire army of a World Government member state, but also killed a Celestial Dragon, is that right?"

General Kong, who deeply agreed with the crane's speculation, snorted coldly.

"But do they have that capability?"

“Those CP0 members protecting Saint Roswald are no pushovers.”

"To deal with them both at the same time, what about their strength?!"

Garp, who is usually very easygoing, raised his own questions.

If He's guess is correct, then the opponent's strength is probably far beyond their imagination.

Of course, compared to their strength, perhaps their courage is what no one else can match.

"General Kong, and everyone else, take a close look at these photos!"

Just then, Sengoku, who had been silent all along, seemed to have noticed something and quickly called out to everyone.

Among the photos he deliberately displayed, some showed ships sinking into the sea, while others showed ships engulfed in flames.

"Did you find anything?" Garp frowned and continued to ask.

"Something's not right!!" The meticulous crane quickly noticed something amiss.

She carefully compared the several photos selected from the Warring States period.

His eyes lit up immediately: "Look closely, what are those black mists in the photo?"

"What could it be? It's something left behind by the other party's ability, or maybe it's from a Devil Fruit user."

Garp said dismissively.

He thought it was some amazing discovery.

If the other party had no abilities whatsoever, how could they have killed so many people?

But soon he noticed that everyone except him was frowning.

Realizing something was wrong, he began to take it seriously.

"If I remember correctly, there was someone with similar abilities in the Sanders case eight years ago."

"We spent a lot of manpower and resources, but in the end, this matter was still left unresolved."

"Don't you all think this person's abilities are very similar to that person's from back then?"

Sengoku's gaze shifted between the group of people as he voiced his guess.

"You mean the people who killed Sanders back then are the same people who killed Roswald Saint now?!"

Crane quickly came to a conclusion.

“I’m not sure,” Sengoku shook his head. “I just have a suspicion.”

“There are countless ability users in the New World, so it’s not surprising to have one or two that are similar. I just suddenly remembered this.”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Kong Jiang took Sengoku's words to heart.

"Garp, Zephyr, this is no small matter. The two of you will handle this together. Regardless of whether the other party is one of those people from back then, killing a Celestial Dragon is a capital offense and cannot be forgiven!!"

"Take ten warships and wipe out the entire Kingdom of Caster!"

"General Air Force!!"

Upon hearing Kong's order, Garp's expression changed.

The killing of Celestial Dragons is no small matter, but are they not even going to spare ordinary people?

"Just catch the mastermind behind it all, it's necessary..."

"enough!!"

Before Garp could finish speaking, he was sternly rebuked by Steel Bone Kong!

"This time, a Celestial Dragon died. Do you know what that means?"

"Karp, I know your concerns, but listen to me carefully: even if you don't do it, someone else will!!"

"In short, the authority of the World Government must not be challenged by anyone!!"

"We must make an example of him to warn the rest!!"

"They only have themselves to blame for being born in the wrong place and following the wrong people!!"

"If you have any reservations, I can send someone else. This operation must succeed; failure is not an option!"

"You heard what the Five Elders said just now. You don't need me to teach you what to do, do you?!"

Garp wanted to say something more, but was stopped in time by the crane beside him.

"I understand."

"I'll take care of it right away!"

........

...........

The Kingdom of Castor.

Upon learning of the assassination of Saint Roswald, King Layton showed no joy, but rather a deep sorrow.

I paced back and forth inside the enormous palace.

Even if he's stupid, he understands what killing a Celestial Dragon means.

"Father, don't worry. Since I dared to kill him, I naturally have a way to deal with it."

Renault patted Layton on the shoulder and gently comforted him.

Layton's reaction was not surprising, given the many nations on the high seas more powerful than Castor.

Throughout history, countless vicious pirates have appeared, but none have ever dared to truly harm a Celestial Dragon.

They knew very well that even if they killed a Celestial Dragon for a moment's pleasure, what would be the point?

The consequences that follow are absolutely beyond their ability to bear.

The dogs I raise are all torn to pieces!!

"Father, leave this matter to me."

"You should immediately order a temporary halt to all trade between the Kingdom of Castor and the outside world, and instruct those outside to find a place to hide."

Now that things have come to this, Layton understands that this is the only way.

"This matter is easy to resolve, but if the Navy sends a strong fighter..."

Layton hesitated, which was what worried him most.

"Hey, you old man, why are you dawdling like that? My brother already told you not to worry."

Lingling, who was listening nearby, grew impatient and interrupted directly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Renault glared at her, which made Lingling pout and hide behind Flame Flower, not daring to say anything more.

"Ahem... I'll arrange this right away."

The perceptive Rogge quickly withdrew from the main hall.

"They should be arriving some time before I can leave. Before that, I need to go out and make a trip."

"Father, tell me the location of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"

These two things are equally important to Renault.

He had a feeling that Whitebeard most likely obtained the Tremor-Tremor Fruit around this time.

He had to get his hands on the Tremor-Tremor Fruit before Whitebeard could.

"Yes, yes, I was in such a hurry that I completely forgot about it."

"It's right here..."

Reno nodded upon learning the location of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

"While I'm gone, keep a close eye on Caster. Anyone who approaches the port of Caster, no matter who they are, must be killed without mercy!!"

Meeting Renault's murderous gaze, Jess and the others nodded emphatically.

This was the first time they had ever felt such intense killing intent emanating from Renault.

Even with Lingling's current strength, there was a suffocating feeling when she looked at Renault.

"Don't worry, Captain, we've got you covered!!"

"That's right, no one will be allowed to set foot in Castor!!!"

Jess and the others stepped forward to respond.

After giving a brief few words of advice, Renault piloted the Golden Ark away from there.

It must be said that his decision to build the Golden Ark and the World Ship at the same time was the right one.

The Golden Ark is powered by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, along with hundreds of Wind-Blowing Shells on its hull.

The more power it has, the faster it will be.

Renault went all out, and in the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace...
