Chapter 156 The Sun God's Child Descends, Are You in a Hurry? Being in a hurry won't help!
The atmosphere on the southeastern border of Alabasta is as grim as iron.
The main naval force, which had just retreated from the front lines, quickly regrouped under the command of Fleet Admiral Sengoku and built a solid defensive line.
Warships were arrayed near the sea, their cannons menacing, while army formations stood in layers, their swords and spears like a forest.
The lieutenant generals stood solemnly at the front of the formation, ready for battle.
Because Napoleon was putting too much pressure on them on the main battlefield, they couldn't use too many troops to turn around and pursue them.
Therefore, the entire Kingdom army remained on the front lines, while Sengoku brought only the navy!
At this moment, the navy's target was no longer the resistance forces on the front lines, but the culprits who had fled from the direction of the capital.
The Straw Hat Pirates and their associates, especially the berserker Hercules who killed two of the Five Elders!
Zhan Guo stood at the front of the battle, his face so gloomy it could drip water.
Just a short while ago, the most advanced Den Den Mushi (snail phone) sent a message from the capital.
Pirate King Roger and his crew broke into the royal capital, but the new Shichibukai Buggy immediately betrayed them, and the red-team berserker Hercules killed two of the Five Elders!
Two of the Five Elders have fallen!
This is an unprecedented and earth-shattering change in world governments in eight hundred years!
What Holy Grail War? What Heroic Spirits? The Navy's participation in this war is essentially for the purpose of maintaining order.
However, all of this must give way in the face of maintaining the absolute authority of the World Government!
He must catch these culprits, or he won't be able to explain himself to Mary Geoise!
"Garp! Kuzan! Both of you, get your act together! This time, we absolutely cannot let that bastard Roger and your grandson get away again!"
"Warring States period," he growled.
Garp picked his nose, but his eyes held an unusually complex expression. He glanced warily at the air beside him, as if Roger were still there.
He muttered, "That madman Roger—it's one thing for him to be crazy, but Ace is just like you!"
"And you insisted on dragging Luffy along, risking your lives like that, going wherever there's a fire pit. Now you've really stirred up a hornet's nest—"
He didn't burst into laughter, which was unusual; instead, he showed a hint of worry and annoyance.
Kuzan stood with his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless, but his slightly furrowed brows betrayed his inner turmoil.
The dramatic changes in the capital and the decisive actions of the Warring States period made him feel a sense of impending doom.
Just then, the rainforest ahead shook violently, and a large group of wolves and foxes rushed out at incredible speed!
It was Luffy, Roger, the battered and bruised giant Hercules, Bonney, Zoro, Sanji, and others.
However, the group didn't seem to get along very well, with two voices constantly arguing among them.
"You damn flamingo! Don't run ahead of me! Your clothes smell awful!"
As Luffy shouted, he rushed to the front of the tall figure.
Doflamingo's veins bulged, and he clenched his fingers tightly. If it weren't for the powerful pursuers behind him, he would have definitely cut this brat to pieces!
What should we do when we are facing a formidable enemy and it is not advisable to fight amongst ourselves?
Doflamingo suddenly accelerated and rushed in front of Luffy again, even turning back to give a mocking smile.
Luffy was furious and started to challenge this guy.
As they drew closer, Sengoku's pupils constricted. It was Doflamingo!
News of this guy's betrayal had not yet reached Sengoku's ears.
"Doflamingo?! How did he end up with them?!" Sengoku exclaimed in disbelief.
However, before he could think about it further, something even more chilling happened.
An invisible and intangible aura, yet chillingly evil to the extreme, surged forth from the rainforest like a tide, following closely behind Luffy and his crew!
"Ah—!"
"What—what is that?!"
"Eyes—so many eyes are watching me!"
The naval soldiers on the outermost edge of the defensive line suddenly began to let out shrill screams and frantic babbling!
Some of them developed physical deformities without warning, their bodies becoming bloody and mangled.
Some clutched their heads and frantically attacked their companions, while others simply melted into a puddle of black water!
This bizarre phenomenon spread as rapidly as a plague, completely defying common sense.
"What's going on?! The entire army, hold your formation! Is this a new enemy capability?!"
The Warring States period was both shocked and furious, and their first reaction was that the Red side was behind it.
Even Luffy looked at Doflamingo in surprise as he ran.
"Hey! Sunglasses Flamingo! Does your Heroic Spirit know this kind of move? While it might help break the deadlock, this ability is terrifying!"
Doflamingo was so exasperated by Luffy's bizarre train of thought that he burst out laughing.
"Straw Hat Boy, I really didn't know the guy who summoned the Pirate King was an idiot!"
"Look closely! Is this something we can control?! This is cleansing from the Void Throne!"
"It is that World King who wants to wipe us ants who witnessed his true face, along with you traitors, from this world completely! He doesn't even care about the lives of his own people!"
His words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears!
Doflamingo, in a fit of desperation, shouted wildly at the top of his lungs at the entire naval defense line.
His face wore a hysterical and indifferent smile.
"That's right! You all heard that! The Five Elders above the World Government you serve aren't the highest authority at all! They're just five watchdogs!"
"There is also a world king who has lived for countless years sitting on the Void Throne! The Five Elders are nothing but puppets!"
,
"To conceal their existence, they are indiscriminately killing everyone who might know! Including you loyal Marines!!"
As he spoke, Shakespeare, under his will, activated his abilities, projecting scenes of the tragic capital into the minds of several naval commanders.
"You all saw it, didn't you? I saw it with my own eyes!"
Doflamingo simply stopped running away. He stood in the middle of the ambush in front and the pursuers behind, raising his hands high and looking crazed.
"I've already exploded! King of the World! Come out and kill me if you dare!!!"
These earth-shattering accusations stunned all the naval officers who heard them!
King of the World? Cleansing? Impossible. How could the World Government be so cold-blooded—towards their navy and agents?
However, those vivid images slowly appeared in their minds, and countless questions and fears instantly gripped their hearts!
Sengoku, Garp, and Kuzan's expressions instantly turned extremely ugly!
Sengoku never imagined that the truth would be so openly revealed in this way. Garp and Kuzan were both furious about the brutal massacre that had taken place in the capital!
As if to confirm Doflamingo's words, the invisible evil aura became even more violent.
More naval soldiers were devoured amidst screams of agony, in a frenzy! It even disregarded friend from foe, focusing solely on wiping out all life!
"Damn it!" Sengoku's eyes were bloodshot as he watched his subordinates, who had followed him for many years, die such tragic deaths. His heart was breaking.
Garp clenched his fists, his face turning ashen. Kuzan emanated a chilling aura, yet he didn't know who to vent it on!
It was during this moment of extreme chaos and despair.
"All troops, charge!"
An authoritative voice came from the front of the naval defenses!
It was Napoleon!
Just as the Warring States period was turning most of its attention to the rear, this military genius keenly seized the opportunity!
He had already seen through the flaws and bluffing aspects of the defenses hastily constructed by the Warring States period!
The rebels, like a flood bursting its banks, launched a fierce attack from the front. Sabo and Ace took the lead and jumped into the rear!
"Luffy!!"
"Ace! Sabo!"
The joy of the brothers' reunion was overshadowed by the pressing war situation.
Sabo quickly scanned the battlefield and immediately understood the urgency of the situation: "That strange thing is chasing you?!"
At the same time, a golden figure, as warm and majestic as the sun, rose into the sky.
Karna sensed the cold, evil aura permeating the battlefield, and his brow furrowed slightly.
"Such filthy and ominous things should not be kept in the sunlight."
Karna spoke calmly, raising the Undying Blade in his hand, and a dazzling light began to gather wildly!
The originally formless and intangible evil aura, which had been spreading unchecked, suddenly froze as if it had encountered its natural enemy.
It even emitted a sharp, painful screech that was inaudible to ordinary people. It seemed to be extremely afraid of the divine radiance of this concept of the sun!
Karna aimed his Noble Phantasm at the churning shadows and frenzied area, and whispered, "Fade away—"
A condensed beam of solar divine light pierced the core of the evil aura like a sharp sword.
"Hiss!!!"
A shrill scream filled with pain and resentment seemed to come from the depths of the void, and the evil aura churned violently like scorched ice and snow!
It seemed extremely unwilling, but in the face of Karna's naturally restrained solar radiance, it was filled with fear!
Finally, under the horrified gaze of everyone, the evil aura made an appalling decision.
It suddenly swung back, not retreating immediately, but instead forcibly swallowing the frenzied naval soldiers and CP agents into a suddenly opened void rift, like a whale swallowing its prey!
It's as if they're taking back both the delicious food and the truth!
Then, the crack suddenly closed, and the terrifying aura vanished without a trace, leaving only a mess and deathly silence.
All the survivors stared in disbelief at the scene.
Sengoku, Garp, and Kuzan froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
They watched as their subordinates, who had just been screaming in agony, were so easily abandoned and devoured. How could the King of the World be so ruthless in obeying his orders?!
Are the lives of naval soldiers really so worthless in that person's eyes?!
Their beliefs were shaken and challenged like never before!
"Now! Retreat!"
Napoleon's calm orders came again, and the rebels seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, tearing open a corner of the navy's wavering defenses.
Roger grabbed Luffy, who was still in a daze, and said, "Kid! Let's go!"
Doflamingo grinned maliciously and charged towards the opening they had created without hesitation, following the Red Team.
Hercules let out a deep roar, raised his great axe with his last strength, and then brought it down with a bang!
This attack even caused the earth to tremble, and all the marines who were not swallowed up behind them slipped and fell to the ground.
Sengoku's lips trembled as he looked at the chaotic battlefield, his heavily wounded subordinates, and the Yuan District about to break through.
Finally, the raised hand fell limply to its side.
"Reorganize the troops - treat the wounded"
He seemed to have aged considerably in an instant, his voice hoarse as he gave the order. He no longer had the strength to pursue them.
Garp and Kuzan stood silently in place, watching the direction the Red Team retreated, and then looked back at the royal capital filled with the aura of death.
Kuzan slowly tore off the navy coat behind him.
The admiral's immense strength felt incredibly strong resistance against the thin clothing, because the load he was carrying was too heavy.
What happened today is destined to change the fate of many people forever.
