Chapter 314 The Five Elders' Furious Outburst: Who Gave Him Permission to Do This?!
"Conqueror's Haki..."
"
Recalling the overwhelming aura just now, Nasujuro Sei said with a somewhat unpleasant expression, "I didn't expect this ninja brat to have such talent."
This was completely unexpected.
"It's not good news that this guy awakened Conqueror's Haki at a time like this," said Saint Satan.
The others pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "That's true..."
Who knows if that brat ninja will develop the idea of destroying the Celestial Dragons, just like... Rocks did back then!
Thinking of this, the expressions on their faces became somewhat serious.
After a moment, Sacred Vochuli said, "But we don't need to worry too much."
Seeing the other four people looking at him, Sacred Vochuli continued, "That guy is already at his last gasp; killing him is only a matter of time."
Given the Blood-Eyed Ninja's current state, there's absolutely no way he could have escaped alive from those five people.
"The last gasp of a spent arrow..."
Maz Saint recalled the intelligence the Navy had provided and then said, "Is it possible... the Blood-Eyed Ninja is hiding his true strength?"
"Hiding his strength?" Saint Satan raised an eyebrow and then said, "Faced with so many powerful figures attacking him, he still dares to hide his strength?"
"You must be joking."
These old guys could tell whether the Blood-Eyed Ninja's strength had reached the level of a Marine Admiral.
It's fair to say that if this ninja hadn't possessed immortality, he would have been killed by those five people long ago.
"I also think it's unlikely," said Saint Vocuri.
They had watched the entire battle and knew exactly what happened, so he didn't believe the other side was hiding their true strength.
After his two old friends said that, Maz Saint didn't say anything more.
"But to be honest, I'm quite curious about the purpose of this blood-eyed ninja coming to our holy land," said Saint Pete.
"Purpose?"
Hearing Piet Saint's words, the other four immediately fell into deep thought.
"Yes, the purpose," Piet Saint nodded.
"He came here to rescue those slaves," said Saint Vocuri.
Judging from the current situation, the other party's goal should be similar to that of Fisher Tiger.
Besides this, Sacred Vochuli could not think of a second possibility.
"If he really only wanted to rescue these slaves, then why has he been fighting Borsalino and the others here for so long?" Pittor Saint retorted.
If the only purpose was to rescue the slaves, the Blood-Eyed Ninja could have left last night.
After all... those slaves who were lucky enough to survive escaped last night!
In this situation, does the Blood-Eyed Ninja still have a reason to stay?
Absolutely not!
"Now that you mention it... there is something really strange about it," Nasujiro said, frowning.
If the Blood-Eyed Ninja's only goal was to save people, then he shouldn't have stayed here fighting Borsalino and the others for so long.
"Is it possible that he can't escape?" Satan asked. Surrounded by so many powerful figures, does this man really have the ability to escape?
"That's a possibility, but..." Piet Saint said, "Did you see this guy trying so hard to escape before this afternoon?"
This crazy ninja seems to have been launching attacks since yesterday!
Saint Satan fell silent upon hearing Saint Pitt's words.
"If that's the case, this guy might actually have other motives," said Saint Vochuli.
But they couldn't figure out their specific purpose for the time being.
Just then, Nasujiro looked up and said, "Is it possible that he came for money?"
Seeing that the other old men were all looking at him, Nasshoulang said, "Don't forget, someone just reported on the situation at Maverick's house."
"His family's treasure trove has been completely emptied."
Upon hearing this, the other four old men were all rendered speechless.
So, they came to the Holy Land to start a riot just to get enough treasure?
Although it seems a bit far-fetched, it's not impossible.
After all... this blood-eyed ninja is an incredibly audacious fellow!
"While rescuing slaves, you also managed to acquire a sufficient amount of treasure?" Saint Vochuli rubbed his temples and said, "For a moment, Saint Vochuli didn't know what to say."
"No!" Piet Saint suddenly realized, and said, "That statement is invalid!"
"How so?"

"If he were truly only after money, he could have easily escaped after releasing those slaves," said Saint Pitt. "But as you've seen from the current situation, I feel that possibility is not very high."
If the other party really only came to the Holy Land to collect money, they could have simply used Earth Escape Technique to leave Mary Geoise after obtaining the treasures, couldn't they?
Therefore, he felt that the other party's main purpose was probably not that.
"But he did take the money," Nassshuro Sei said.
Pittor Saint glanced at his old buddy, somewhat speechless, and said, "You really expect a pirate to resist money?"
"Taking the money along the way while doing the work is just the usual style of pirates."
After all, that guy was a pirate too.
Nasujiro was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then muttered to himself, "It seems that's really true..."
Pirates never give up on making money, so it's perfectly normal for them to take treasure when they see it.
Then he said, "So what do you think their purpose is?"
"Perhaps... it's for revenge."
"revenge?"
"Yes," Pittor nodded. "Didn't we issue orders to wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates several times?"
"So I suspect this guy came to Mary Geoise to cause trouble out of revenge."
After speaking, Pitt paused for a moment, then pointed to the ruins of the East District and said, "The ruins of the East District and the dead Celestial Dragons are the best proof!"
Hearing Piet Saint's words, the other four old men fell into deep thought.
Upon closer examination, this possibility is not insignificant.
"Just to get revenge, he came to destroy Mary Geoise...?" Mazsan said with a grim face, "That guy deserves to die!"
Because of this bastard's selfish desires, their Mary Geoise has suffered such great losses... This blood-eyed ninja deserves to die!
"He truly deserves to die," Saint Satan said with a grim face. "However... if we can obtain his abilities, we won't be at a loss."
After all, holy sites can be rebuilt, right?
As for the money needed for reconstruction... let those lower classes take care of it, that's what they've always done!
As for the few Celestial Dragons who died?
As long as it makes the Celestial Dragons stronger, sacrificing a few of them is no problem!
"Yes, that's true."
Recalling the Blood-Eyed Ninja's overpowered ability, Maz Saint nodded in agreement, saying, "If we can use this power, these losses are nothing."
Once they create some ninja warriors who can control the sea, then... no one in this world will be their match!
Thinking of this, Maz Sei couldn't help but smile. "By the way, where did that blood-eyed ninja hide the money?" Nasujuro Sei asked.
If we can recover the treasure of those Celestial Dragons, we can make up for some of the losses.
Piet Saint was somewhat helpless upon hearing this; this old fellow in charge of the money was indeed quite perceptive about it.
"They must have moved away before the war started," Vochuli Saint guessed.
With that man's abilities, transferring the money before the war starts shouldn't be a problem, after all... he knows earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape through the earth).
"But weren't Saint Mafric and the others just killed yesterday?" Saint Nassuro said. "The Blood-Eyed Ninja moved the treasure away in just one day?"
Isn't this speed a bit too fast?
That's the treasure of several Celestial Dragons!
"How do you know he came yesterday?" Saint Vochuli said. "Don't forget that guy can hypnotize!"
If the other party uses hypnosis to control Saint Maverick... he can hide for as long as he wants!
Therefore, they had no way of knowing when this blood-eyed ninja arrived in Mary Geoise.
"Hypnosis, huh..." Nasujiro frowned and said, "That's really a disgusting ability."
In that case, they really have no way of knowing when that guy arrived in Mary Geoise.
After all... the Marineford War ended more than ten days ago!
"If you really want to recover that treasure, send people to investigate," said Saint Vocuri. "You're bound to find some clues."
"check?"
"How do I check?"
Nasujiro Sei shook his head and said, "Unless we can get the whereabouts of those treasures from the Blood-Eyed Ninja, we can forget about it."
The treasure texts didn't have any special markings, and Bailey didn't have any special symbols, so they couldn't investigate them even if they wanted to.
It's fair to say that this time they can only accept their bad luck.
Of course, if they can actually capture the Blood-Eyed Ninja, there is still hope of recovering the treasure.
However... Nasujiro Sei didn't have high hopes.
"Alright, let's not think about that anymore," Maz said. "Let's just consider that the Celestial Dragons spent the money."
The number of Celestial Dragons who die each year is far more staggering than the money lost now, so he felt there was no need to dwell on such matters.
This time, Nasujiro simply nodded and said nothing more.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by a man's voice.
"Reporting to the Five Elders, I have something important to report!"
The five old men exchanged glances upon hearing this, then Saint Satan said, "Come in!"
"Aiga~"
The door was pushed open, and a man in armor ran in, carrying a newspaper.
"Speak, what is it?" said Saint Satan.
"Lord Five Elders, the events that happened in the Holy Land yesterday have been published in the newspapers!!" the guard said, bowing his head.
As he spoke, he unfolded the newspaper in his hand so that the Five Elders could clearly see its contents.
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing the guard's words, the five old men immediately stood up from the sofa, their expressions filled with rage.
"Bring it over so we can see it!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, the guard stood up, quickly came to the group's side, and placed the newspaper on the table.
Then, he returned to his previous kneeling position.
"It actually happened...."

Upon seeing the title, "Shocking! The Holy Land of Mary Geoise has actually been...", Saint Satan's face bulged with veins, and his eyes turned red.
"How dare this bastard do this?" Sacred Vocuri roared.
To dare publish such a newspaper without their orders...: Does Morgans have a death wish?!
Does he want to die?!
"That bastard Morgans is getting more and more outrageous," Nassshuro said angrily.
He dares to publish something like this in the newspaper... Is he tired of living?!
"It seems we were too lenient with him last time," Piet Saint said with a grim expression.
If we don't teach this bastard a lesson, he'll really think the World Government is a pushover.
Satan took a deep breath to calm himself down, then waved to the guard, signaling that he could leave.
After the other party closed the door and left, Satan said, "The most urgent thing is to deal with this trouble first."
If the newspapers can be retrieved, the impact can be mitigated.
The other four old men gradually calmed down after hearing Satan Saint's words.
Then, Pitt Saint took out a Den Den Mushi and said, "Let's contact that bastard Morgans."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pitt Saint dialed the Den Den Mushi and began contacting Morgans.
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Kaka~"
"Is it Morgans?" Piet Saint said coldly. "I am Piet Saint!"
Upon hearing the voice of one of the Five Elders, Morgan raised an eyebrow, then sat up straight in his boss's chair and said, "I wonder what instructions the Five Elders have for contacting me so suddenly?"
"Don't you know why we contacted you?" Sacred Vocuri roared.
How dare that bastard ask them a question?
Morgans looked puzzled and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
"Today's newspaper!" said Saint Vocuri. "Why did you publish such a newspaper?"
"Don't you realize the enormous impact this will have on the World Government?!"
"Have we been too nice to you?"
This bastard is still pretending not to know... Does Morgans really want to die?
If he didn't want to live anymore, he could have Stussy find this guy's location right now and then figure out a way to kill him!
"Today's newspaper?"
Morgans wiped the spittle from his face and said, "What's wrong with today's newspaper?"
Sacred Way of Vocuri: ...:
Is this bastard really unaware or just pretending?
Seeing that the Five Elders remained silent, Morgans turned his gaze to Mosel, who was standing to the side, and said, "Mosel, bring me a copy of today's newspaper."
"Yes, President."
Having received a signal with his eyes, Mosser immediately jogged away.
A moment later, he returned to the room with a newspaper in his hand.
"Here you go, President."
Morgans took the newspaper, glanced at its contents, and then, with a look of shock, said, "What?"
"The Holy Land has been invaded?"
"When did this happen?!"
"According to the newspaper, it must have happened yesterday," Mosel said.
Morgans paused for a moment upon hearing this, then slammed his fist on the table in "anger" and said, "Who gave you permission to publish this newspaper?!"
"I don't know either, President," Mosel said with a slight headache. "I came here on vacation with you yesterday and have no idea what's going on at headquarters."
"Go and investigate immediately. I need to know who has the audacity to release this information!" Morgans said.
"Yes, President!"
Mosel nodded upon receiving the order, then turned and left with a smile in his eyes.
The Five Elders:
The five elders, listening to the conversation between the two, all turned grim.
Does this cunning birdman think they're fools?!
"Morgans, there's no need to put on this show," said Sacred Vochuli coldly.
"I really didn't know about this, Lord Five Elders," Morgans said with a hint of helplessness. "I'm on vacation, I have no idea..."
"Alright, we're too lazy to listen to this nonsense," Saint Satan said. "I'm just asking you, can the newspaper be recovered?!"
"It's already afternoon, there's no way we can get the newspaper back," Morgans said, shaking his head.
Even he couldn't catch up with the newspaper at this point, which is why he insisted on publishing the newspaper as soon as possible.
"Click!"
Satan Saint's face immediately contorted with rage, veins bulging. It was that kind of talk again...: Did this bastard anticipate this, which is why he's so brazen?
"Tell me, how do you want to die?" Saint Vocuri said coldly. "Five Elders, you must be reasonable," Morgans said with a headache. "I didn't know anything about this, how can you blame me?"
"Whether you know it or not, you know it in your heart."
"I really don't..."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. We're all not idiots," Nasujiro interrupted coldly.
Do you really think you can get away with this by using such methods?
What a joke, you bastard!
This time, Morgans was loudly refuting, but he started muttering under his breath.
Nasujiro Sei was exasperated by his constant ramblings about how difficult things were for him and how his subordinates were disobedient.
Ignoring Morgans' reaction, Nassuro Sei and his four colleagues exchanged glances and then reached a consensus.
We can deal with Morgans's matter later; the most urgent task is to find a way to mitigate the impact of this incident!
Just then, Morgans said, "Anyway... I will give you gentlemen an explanation later."
"How do you plan to explain this?"
"Of course, we sent that audacious fellow to the officials!" Morgans said. "That kind of guy should be executed!!"
Hearing Morgans' words, Nassshuro Sei showed a speechless expression.
Even if this guy were to send it, he wouldn't send it to his own people, right? He'd probably find some unknown pirate to deal with it and then send it to them, but what's the point of that?
But before they could speak, Morgans continued, "In addition... I am also willing to offer a sum of money that will satisfy you all as compensation."
Nasujiro raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Was this a sign of backing down?
This attitude pleased them.
The five old men exchanged glances, then Nassuro nodded and said, "Then send the money directly to the Holy Land."
"As for the person... just kill him directly, there's no need to send him over."
Anyway, it's unlikely that the one sent over is the real culprit, so whether it comes or not doesn't really matter.
As for the money Morgans mentioned... it doesn't matter how much money it is, what they want is Morgans' attitude!
As long as this guy is willing to back down, they will have more ways to control him!
"You're taking the money so readily...?" Morgans raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "These guys are still as ruthless as ever."
Morgans then said, "Okay, I guarantee you'll all be satisfied."
Although this wouldn't completely extinguish the Five Elders' anger, at least it would prevent them from immediately attacking him.
That's enough!
Sacred Vochuli nodded, then said, "Well... now we need you to publish a newspaper."
"What newspaper?"
"A newspaper report stating that the Blood-Eyed Ninja has been killed," Vochuli Saint said in a deep voice. "If the contents of this newspaper satisfy us..."
Vocuri didn't finish speaking, but Morgans still understood what Vocuri meant.
If this satisfies them, they will temporarily let bygones be bygones regarding the newspaper publication.
However, Morgans wouldn't believe such words, after all, he knew what kind of people the World Government was.
If given the chance, they will definitely settle scores later!
However, in order to avoid escalating the situation, Morgans was willing to make a small compromise with the world government.
He then said, "Publishing this newspaper is fine, but...did you really kill him?"
"What? Does that mean we can't publish this newspaper unless we kill him?"
"I am a qualified journalist and I do not report fake news," Morgans said earnestly. "Otherwise, the reputation of our World Economic News would be ruined."
The reason his newspaper sells so well is because the news he reports is so truthful!
Although some newspapers may contain exaggerated claims, most of the content is true!
So... Morgans doesn't want this release to be fake news.
"Don't worry, this blood-eyed ninja is doomed." Nasujuro Sei said coldly, "We'll be giving you photos of his death soon."
"Then I'm all set," Morgans nodded.
If the Blood-Eyed Ninja really did die in Mary Geoise... that would indeed be a major news story that would shock the world.
Therefore, Morgans was very happy to publish this newspaper, because it could bring him great benefits!
"Fine, you wait for the news," Nasujiro Sei said coldly.
"Okay," Morgans nodded.
"Kaka~"
Morgans' expression gradually calmed down as he watched the Den Den Mushi being disconnected.
"Hmph, those five old geezers..."
Upon hearing this, Mosel, who had just entered, asked, "President, are we really going to have to pay compensation?!"
"Yes, here you go." Morgans nodded and said, "This will also ease the tension between us and the World Government."
Morgans was willing to spend some money, even though it was just a small amount.
After all... he really is very rich!
"Won't we be in for a huge financial loss?"
"It's not that exaggerated." Morgans waved his hand and said, "In the end... the World Government just wants my stance."
Those five old guys in the north also knew they couldn't push him too far, otherwise they wouldn't have let the matter drop so easily.
"Attitude..."
"That's right," Morgans nodded. Seeing that Mosel still looked a little hesitant, Morgans said, "Don't worry about it. You just need to know that paying this money will allow us to earn more."
His money wasn't so easy to get!
He'll earn that money back from the World Government sooner or later!
This time, Mossel didn't say anything more, but nodded and accepted Morgans's explanation.
Then he said, "That newspaper about the Blood-Eyed Ninja..."
"Let's write a draft first," Morgans said. "If the Five Elders do send us the photos, we'll produce and distribute the newspaper."
The hero who wreaked havoc in Mary Geoise died in battle... This kind of news can attract a lot of attention.
"What about the reward for the Blood-Eyed Ninja?" Mosel asked.
Their club president had promised Blood-Eyed Ninja that he would give them money.
"Let's proceed according to the usual procedure," Morgans waved his hand and said, "If he really dies, give him to the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates."
The Straw Hat Boy is most likely alive, so giving it to him would be the same.
"Yes, I understand!!"
Mosel nodded, then turned and left.
After watching the other person leave, Morgans said with a somewhat complicated expression, "What a pity..."
If possible, he still hoped that this blood-eyed ninja could survive, so that he could create even more big news!
But judging from the World Government's statement, this guy is most likely not going to survive.
Thinking of this, Morgans sighed silently.
"Why.:
