LRAB Chapter 223 Savior! World Government!
Chapter 223 Savior! World Government!
Time flows like a never-ending torrent; before we know it, a month has quietly passed.
In this seemingly short month, the world has undergone an unprecedented and enormous transformation, with four earth-shattering events that are enough to rewrite history occurring one after another.
Like a surging giant wave, it relentlessly crashed against the world's original order, dragging the entire world into an endless abyss of darkness.
First, in the vast oceans of the New World, a terrifying disaster quietly descends.
The Shadow King, a nightmare-like being, led his overwhelming army of shadows, unleashing a horrific and indiscriminate massacre across this land.
Wherever the Shadow Army went, there was only death and despair. Whether they were pirates who roamed the seas, marines who shouldered the mission of justice, merchants struggling to make a living, or unarmed civilians, none could escape this bloody calamity.
They trembled like ants under the Shadow King's blade, their lives shattering like fragile bubbles in an instant.
This horrific massacre swept across 100 islands, turning each one into a living hell.
Nearly 20 million lives were lost in the long river of history under the Shadow King's rampage.
On the island, blood flowed like a burst dam, forming a river that slowly flowed into the sea, turning the once azure waters a shocking crimson.
The thick, pungent smell of blood permeated the air, like a heavy gloom shrouding the entire new world.
The once clear blue sky, reflected in the blood-red sea, became eerie and sinister, as if the gates to hell had been opened.
This dark scene was deeply etched in the hearts of the residents of the New World, becoming a nightmare they could never erase.
Secondly, Lacuna Island has now become a bloody battlefield.
Minos, a powerful figure of unfathomable strength, led a terrifying force of over 20 generals, descending upon this place like a demon.
Their arrival was like a death sentence, bringing utter destruction to the people on the island.
Roger and Whitebeard, two legendary figures renowned in the pirate world, along with their hundreds of thousands of pirates, all fell to the ground under the relentless attacks of Minos and his puppet admirals.
The battle was far more brutal than anyone could have imagined; shouts of battle and screams of agony mingled together, echoing in every corner of the island.
Blood stained the earth, and corpses piled up like mountains. Roger and Whitebeard, despite their immense strength, appeared so small and powerless before Minos's overwhelming power.
The news shocked the world. More than 20 generals—what a terrifying lineup!
Minos's name resounded like thunder in the pirate world; his strength had reached an unbelievable level.
The once-mighty top forces in the pirate world have suffered another heavy blow, and Minos's invincible name has once again resounded throughout the world with this bloody massacre.
Thirdly, the Navy Headquarters, symbolizing justice and power, has always been a strong fortress on the sea and a beacon of hope in people's hearts.
However, this time, it suffered an unprecedented and devastating invasion.
Marineford, the once imposing naval headquarters, gradually crumbled under the fierce attacks of the enemy.
Admiral Kizaru tragically died in the fierce battle, his once shining light forever extinguished in the flames of war.
Aokiji has mysteriously disappeared, his fate unknown, as if he has been swallowed by a dark abyss.
Green Bull also perished in this catastrophe, sacrificing his precious life to protect Marine Headquarters.
Hero Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku, two legendary figures in the Navy, also died heroically in battle.
They dedicated their lives to upholding peace and justice on the sea, only to fall on the land they loved so dearly.
Zephyr and Sakazuki were critically injured and on the verge of death, struggling desperately between life and death.
Nearly a million naval soldiers lost their lives in this brutal war, composing a tragic and heroic ode with their own lives.
General Fujitora was fortunate enough to escape death because he was guarding the New World, but his heart was filled with grief for his comrades and worry about the future.
Sakazuki and Zephyr were rescued by Cyborg Kong, who came to their aid.
However, Kong was also seriously injured in the fierce battle with Fang King, who had become a half-beast spirit.
Fang King's strength was terrifying; he moved across the battlefield as if it were empty, slaughtering lives at will. Cyborg Kong used his last ounce of strength to escape this land of death with Sakazuki and Zeff.
After indulging his bloodlust, the fanged king seemed to lose interest in the bloody scene before him and finally let them go.
The destruction of the Naval Headquarters was like a massive storm that swept across the entire world.
The once mighty powers of the seas are now almost entirely wiped out. While the navies of the Four Seas and the New World still exist, the core strength of the Marine Headquarters has been completely destroyed.
This news came like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone in disbelief and utter despair.
Fourth, Elbaf, the world's strongest nation, is a superpower renowned for the formidable fighting power of its giant race and has always been an important pillar of the world.
However, the wheel of fate cruelly turned to the dark side.
Elbaf suffered a devastating blow when a powerful enemy, seemingly from nowhere, infiltrated the country like a ghost and unleashed a brutal massacre.
Although the giants fought bravely, they gradually became powerless against this mysterious and powerful force.
The flames of battle spread rapidly, and the entire city of Elbaf was engulfed in flames.
Houses were destroyed, cities were reduced to ruins, the precious tree was destroyed, and countless lives of giants perished in this catastrophe.
The once prosperous Elbaf was completely destroyed overnight, becoming a desolate ruin.
The fall of Elbaf was like a bombshell, sending shockwaves through the world.
Although its overall strength may not be as great as that of the Navy Headquarters, as a superpower, its existence plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of the world.
Its disappearance has brought about tremendous changes in the world order and filled people's hearts with fear and unease.
These four major events, which occurred in succession, were like a terrible nightmare, plunging the entire world into a frenzied chaos.
The surviving powers, large and small, and the allies of the New World fled like frightened birds, seeking refuge along the Grand Line and across the seas.
The once bustling city is now nothing but ruins, filled with endless desolation and sorrow.
Countless people were displaced, forced to leave their homes and embark on a perilous and unknown journey of escape. Many placed their hopes on the World Government, seeking refuge there.
However, the world government has shown a cold and ruthless side.
They scorned these refugees and even demanded exorbitant fees to enter the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. This harsh demand left many refugees feeling utterly hopeless.
Some disgruntled refugees rioted in front of the World Government, trying to express their demands, but were ruthlessly suppressed by World Government soldiers.
The world government uses this cruel method to demonstrate its so-called authority.
In a huge and magnificent office in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, the Five Elders, Revolutionary Army leader Dragon, Red-Haired Shanks, and the Ancient One Garin engaged in a heated debate.
“I believe we should organize these refugees to fight Minos and the Shadow King together. Although their strength is limited, they can at least buy us time. As long as we have enough people, we have a chance to wear Minos down.” Dragon calmly offered his suggestion, his eyes revealing a firm determination and hope for the future.
"Hmph, these lowly people are not worth our protection. The World Government must not allow them into the Holy Land."
"But now, only we can protect them. The Marine Headquarters has been almost completely wiped out, and everyone in the Great Pirate Alliance except Shanks has been killed by Minos. If we don't unite all the forces we can, the world will be plunged into complete darkness."
"But these refugees will only cause us trouble. Their presence will only weaken us."
"In any case, we must win over the hearts and minds of the people. Only by uniting can we fight against the threat of Minos and the Shadow King."
While the Five Elders and others were arguing, two uninvited guests arrived at the black and purple castle on the Serbian island.
……
Orochimaru and Kabuto, two powerful figures who left three years ago, have reappeared. Three years seem to have left no trace on them; their appearances remain unchanged.
Orochimaru and Kabuto's gazes swept over the Dragon Emperor, Fang King, Cold King, Hundred Flame King, and Taizu King, their faces showing shock and fear.
The strength of these guys in front of them was unfathomable, especially the Dragon Emperor, who was dressed in crimson and had an arrogant look on his face. The powerful aura he exuded made Orochimaru and Kabuto feel an unprecedented sense of pressure.
Orochimaru and Kabuto exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and fear in each other's eyes.
This crimson figure's strength has definitely reached...
