Chapter 150 Heated Discussions from All Sides
Aokiji gazed at the sea outside the window, thinking to himself, "Enies Lobby... it's sunk... Ohara... Saul, Nico Robin, you finally have a reliable partner... so what about me..."
Inside the base, all the colonel and lieutenant officers were silent with fear. They knew better than anyone the weight of the Buster Call. It was the ultimate force of the Navy Headquarters, a symbol of sweeping away all rebellion except when an admiral was deployed. Now, however, it had been crushed into a joke by two women, and the Navy's prestige had sunk to the bottom of the sea along with it.
After being rescued and brought back to headquarters, Doberman, Strawberry, Flying Squirrel, and Onigumo have been lying in the medical pod ever since, their mental state completely broken down. They are speechless whenever Artoria and Unohana Retsu are mentioned.
Inside the council hall of Pangu City, the Five Elders sat around a long table, with newspapers stained with ink spread out in front of them. The air was deathly still.
Holding the first generation Kitetsu, the Five Elders traced the image of the sunken Enies Lobby with their fingertips, their voices as cold as ice: "A bunch of useless trash. The Buster Call, five vice admirals, and they couldn't even stop two people of unknown origin, and they even lost Enies Lobby."
"Nicole Robin must die. The scholars of Ohara must not be left alive. Those two outsiders have no trace of their origins. They have never been seen in the first half of the Grand Line. It's as if they appeared out of thin air."
"We have ordered all CP0 personnel to be mobilized and to pursue and kill him at all costs. At the same time, we have mobilized all nearby naval branches to blockade the entire sea area."
"Morgans' news agency had to put pressure on the news to stop it from spreading further, but now... the whole world knows that Enies Lobby is gone, and the Navy's face has been trampled underfoot."
Upon learning the news, the high and mighty Celestial Dragons were initially enraged, but then fell into panic.
They were used to the absolute rule of the World Government and to the Navy clearing all obstacles for them. But now, someone had destroyed Enies Lobby, the symbol of their power, and killed a Navy Vice Admiral. For the first time, these pampered descendants of the Creator felt threatened by mortals and demanded that the strongest forces be sent immediately to grind those villains to dust.
But... who can do that?
The Whitebeard Pirates - Moby Dick...
Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, holding a newspaper, tilted his head back and gulped down a large mouthful of liquor, his deafening laughter echoing across the deck: "Gurgle, gurgle, interesting! Very interesting! Someone actually dared to sink the World Government's Enies Lobby! What an ignorant brat, what a reckless brat! The World Government is a very deep place..."
Marco looked at the golden beam of light in the photo and said, "Dad, the power of these two is too strange. It's not Haki, nor is it a Devil Fruit ability. They can sink an island with a single blow. Their destructive power is probably second only to yours, Dad."
"Whoever they are, they've given the World Government a resounding slap in the face. This won't be a simple matter after this."
Windmill Village...
Shanks sat on the rocks, a chicken leg dangling from his lips. It was obvious he was missing a hand. His gaze fell on Artoria's figure in the newspaper, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Oh? There's someone like that in Bai Yu's team. She turned Enies Lobby upside down overnight. Interesting."
Beckman, puffing on his cigarette, said with a sharp look in his eyes, "Their origins are unknown, their strength is unfathomable, and they're protecting Nico Robin. These two could be the variables that change the landscape of the ocean."
Shanks chuckled and tossed the newspaper aside: "Never mind, just watch. This sea is finally bustling again, but for now, we still need to maintain stability. After all, I've staked my life on this new era..."
The country of Wano...
Kaido sat on a stool, his eyes fixed on the newspaper, his violent aura sweeping across Onigashima: "Whoa! Destroyed an island with a single sword strike? Such power actually appeared in the first half of the story. Men, investigate! Find out everything about these two women. Possessing such power and daring to oppose the World Government, they are qualified to be my people."
Tottoland, the Land of Nations...
Charlotte Linlin, clutching a newspaper, took a big bite of cake, cream smearing her lips, and mumbled, "Enies Lobby is gone? The World Government's intelligence organization was destroyed? Who were those two women? Their captain must have been a remarkable man..."
On the islands of the Grand Line, pirates cheered and jumped for joy, holding up newspapers. The Navy's defeat and the World Government's embarrassment were what they were most happy to see.
Countless pirates have etched the images of Artoria and Retsu Unohana into their hearts, both fearing their terrifying strength and secretly admiring their courage to challenge the world's highest authority.
Human traffickers, bounty hunters, and underground brokers in the Sabaody Archipelago were all frantically inquiring about Bai Yu's team. The bounty amount made them envious, but the bloody scenes in the photos made them hesitate. Who would dare to mess with someone who could crush even a Buster Call?
Most ordinary people around the world dared not speak out against the oppression of the World Government and the Navy. Now, seeing Enies Lobby destroyed, many people secretly clutched their newspapers, their eyes gleaming with hope.
However, this upheaval that swept the world was nothing more than a thing of the past that Bai Yu and his group could sweep away with a flick of their wrists.
Long before Enies Lobby sank into the deep sea and the Buster Call fleet turned into a sea of fire and wreckage, Shiraha had already led Artoria, Retsu Unohana, Nico Robin and others onto the back of the pure white dragon that Kanna had transformed into.
The dragon flapped its wings, stirring up a fierce wind that broke through layers of clouds, leaving the World Government's fury, the Navy's disarray, the pirates' uproar, and the civilians' shock behind.
The giant dragon swept across the shimmering sea and sped toward Water Seven.
The sea breeze ruffled Robin's short black hair as she gazed at the rapidly receding coastline below, her eyes welling up slightly.
O'Hara's nightmare was finally shattered at this moment.
Artoria stood quietly to one side, her blue armor gleaming in the sunlight, her eyes gentle yet resolute.
Retsu Unohana chuckled as she helped Robin to her feet. There was no trace of the ferocity that came from just experiencing an island-destroying battle; instead, she was as calm as a doctor who had just cured a patient.
Bai Yu gazed at the vast horizon where the sea met the sky, seemingly oblivious to the bustling world behind him.
Did Enies Lobby sink?
The Navy has lost face?
The Five Elders were furious, CP0 mobilized in full force, and the Celestial Dragons were filled with fear and unease.
These things were never within his consideration.
Before long, the outline of Water Seven came into view. The Carrera Company's shipyard had been waiting for a long time, and a completely renovated, jet-black ship with a dawn-light pattern engraved on its prow was quietly moored in the harbor.
Kanna transformed into human form, hopping and skipping onto the deck, grabbing Bai Yu's arm and clamoring for dessert.
Everyone landed one by one. Robin, stepping onto the sturdy deck, finally let down her guard completely. Here, she had only a group of companions she could trust without reservation.
