Chapter 914: The Decision of the Five Elders
Even after Buggy, Ace and the others ran away without a trace, Kizaru still stayed where he was, looking at the black Den Den Mushi in his hand with a puzzled look on his face: "How strange..."
"No one answered the Den Den Mushi..."
Bru Bru Bru...
At this moment, another Den Den Mushi in his arms rang.
"Eh? Could it be that..."
Kizaru seemed to have thought of something suddenly , but he was not sure yet. He just subconsciously took out the ringing Den Den Mushi and answered it with a "click".
"Master, we are almost there, how are things going over there?"
How about it?
Kizaru glanced at the now empty lawn, was silent for a moment, and replied: "Something unexpected happened. I must consult Marshal Sengoku before I can continue the operation, but the Den Den Mushi can't get through."
"…You must have used the Den Den Mushi by mistake again!"
On the other side, Zhan Taomaru understood immediately: "How many times have I told you, the black Den Den Mushi is for monitoring, and the white one is for making calls!!"
“Eh? Is that so?”
"Of course! There are only two Den Den Mushi, so you better remember that!!"
I really can’t remember! Please be considerate of me, a man in his 50s!!
Before Kizaru could make any excuses, Zhan Taomaru's voice rang out again: "Forget it, let's not talk about the Den Den Mushi. As long as we catch the person, that's all..."
"Well...it seems like they ran away while I was on the phone."
"Huh?! Are you kidding me?!"
The ridiculous words made Den Den Mushi laugh out loud, "How could a small pirate with only 15 million berries escape from your hands?! Even a fool wouldn't believe such words, okay?!"
"I don't care. Go and explain this to the people above you yourself!"
"Also, I brought the Pacifists out. Mr. Vegapunk asked me to test their power. I can't just take them back in disgrace, right?"
Zhan Taowan hung up the phone after he finished speaking, then turned around and ordered the three pacifists behind him: "Find Buggy the Joker on the island and arrest him. If anyone tries to stop us, we will treat them as accomplices and eliminate them!"
The Pacifists are humanoid weapons created by Vegapunk based on Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Now, Sen Taomaru has brought PX-1, PX-2, and PX-3.
As soon as the order was given, red light immediately flashed in the eyes of the three pacifists, and then they turned around and walked forward in three different directions. Zhan Taomaru walked towards where Kizaru was. He had to ask him what kind of accident had happened that caused the navy admiral to fail and not even catch a small pirate.
Under the tree No. 13, Kizaru, who finally found Den Den Mushi, has dialed Sengoku's number and reported everything he encountered: "This is what happened. It's not just Buggy the Joker, there's also Ace the Fire Fist, and two wizards. I dare not act rashly!"
Sengoku, who was on the other end of the phone, looked at the face on the Den Den Mushi with a frown, his fists clenched, a mouthful of blood rolling over and over in his throat, which he could neither spit out nor swallow.
He had a premonition that if he continued like this, sooner or later he would be killed by this absurd world!
Who can tell him why an ordinary little pirate suddenly transformed into Roger's crew member, Rayleigh's apprentice, Red Hair's brother, Ace's best friend, and the wizard's friend? !
Let alone Kizaru, the lazy idiot, even he himself can't handle this matter, okay? !
Although Sengoku now really wants to say to Kizaru, "Come back and stop chasing me," but since it concerns the life of a Celestial Dragon, he cannot jump to conclusions, and of course he cannot let Kizaru, his subordinate, take the blame, so there is only one way left!
Push the trouble upwards!
I believe that even the Five Elders would not be able to watch their navy fight against the Four Emperors and this unknown wizard organization at the same time, right? !
So Sengoku told Kizaru to 'stay where you are' and immediately called the Five Elders.
"Sengoku? Have you caught the person? Just ask Kizaru to bring Mary Geoise to you. As for Saint Rozwald..."
"Actually, something unexpected happened! This and that... this and that..."
Mary Joa, between the rights.
After listening to Zhan Guo’s report, the Five Elders were silent for a long time.
"To think that such a thing would happen..."
The old man with long white hair and a white beard, the 'God of Environment' Marcus Maz, stopped by the window and said, "I never thought that Whitebeard and Red Hair would be involved in this matter..."
The short-haired 'Farm God' Shepard ten Peter Saint frowned deeply: "'Joker' Buggy? We didn't even notice this guy before. It was our oversight!"
The bald man with spots on his head, Saint Topman Vochuli, the 'God of Law', looked at the other four people around him and asked, "What should we do now? We can't let the lives of the Celestial Dragons go unpunished! Otherwise, it will be hard to explain to Saint Rozwald!!"
'God of Scientific Defense' Zeigolucia Satan held the cane in his hand: "But the navy cannot face the pressure of five forces at the same time..."
"How about we withdraw one side first?" suggested the God of Wealth holding a samurai sword.
Then the whole room fell silent again.
In fact, they all knew in their hearts that even with the pacifists created by Vegapunk, the navy would not be able to face five major forces at the same time, because at this time Whitebeard and Red Hair had not yet been confirmed to be their enemies, and Akainu's battle with Kaido, Big Mom and the wizards had not yet begun, so there was still room for everything to turn around.
But they can't gamble, so they can only focus on it as much as possible.
For example, the situation in the Torant Sea is not urgent. They can let Akainu withdraw from the New World temporarily, so the navy will have three fewer enemies at once, and they can even watch the two of the Four Emperors and the wizards fight and reap the benefits.
Then, over in the Sabaody Archipelago, as long as Kizaru is careful when catching the 'clown' Buggy and doesn't touch Ace and the mages beside him, the navy can avoid becoming enemies with Whitebeard and the mages.
Once things in Shampoo are resolved, we can start fighting in the New World. Then we can wipe out the three already badly damaged forces in one fell swoop!
Finally, there is only one problem left, and that is red hair!
But they believed that Red Hair was not an impulsive person, and would not go to the navy just because of a 'clown' Buggy.
So ten minutes later, Sengoku received an order from the Five Elders: "Let Borsalino continue to hunt down Buggy, the clown, and try not to involve Whitebeard and the people from the wizard-related forces in the process; then let Sakaski temporarily withdraw from the Torrant Sea and wait for the next order. The war in two days is canceled!"
Zhan Guo was completely stunned, and immediately protested loudly to Den Den Mushi: "Are you kidding me?! At this time, you actually let Sakaski retreat??"
"He brought 100 warships, 30,000 marines, and 10 pacifists, quietly went around to the Torrant Sea, and occupied six or seven islands. Was he just going for a walk?!"
"With so many combat forces, if they don't even fire a single bullet and just come back in disgrace, how will the navy maintain its reputation in the future?! What prestige will they have on the sea?!"
However, no matter how loud he shouted, Sengoku's protests still had no effect. The voice from Den Den Mushi was cold and ruthless, and its tough attitude did not allow anyone to comment.
"Watch your attitude, Sengoku!!"
"It's just a game between pirates. Is the life of the Celestial Dragons more important?"
"If the navy has any doubts, they can just use excuses like 'military exercises' to brush it off!"
"As the Admiral of the Navy, you just need to follow orders. If you don't want to do it anymore, we can always replace you!"
"Do you really want to start a war? As a naval admiral, do you disregard the lives of your marines? Do you want to make them participate in the war just for the sake of your dignity?"
These old guys are actually turning the tables? How shameless! !
Zhan Guo has lived for so many years and has seen all kinds of mean, insidious, dirty and despicable pirates, but even with his experience, he cannot find anyone else with the same degree of bad nature who can compare with these five guys.
"Damn it! You call for a meeting when you are told to, start a war when you are told to, and retreat when you are told to. What do you think of the navy soldiers?!!"
Sengoku's question went unanswered, but he clearly heard an undisguised, contemptuous laugh from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, and then the call was hung up.
“These bastards!!!”
