Chapter 137 Revenge on the Entire World
When this pirate crew was mentioned, the Five Elders all had different expressions.
Recently, news about this pirate crew has been pouring in.
The Phantom Pirates were even more active than the original Roger Pirates.
"I heard that Figarando has recruited a new batch of members for the Order of the Gods, forming a team called... something like the Zodiac Knights?"
Jaygolucia seemed to be asking about something unrelated.
"I heard they're connected to the Phantom Pirates; they escaped from that giant ship. They possess unique abilities."
Topman replied.
"They brought a lot of information about this group."
"Ha, resorting to such pointless tricks." Jaigolusia's face showed displeasure, though it was unclear whether it was directed at the squad or at Figarando himself.
"How's the intelligence gathering on this group going?"
"Besides the Karkin Empire and futuristic technology..."
"Teach has brought the latest intelligence," Topman said.
"He said that this group had some unknown means of taking their Devil Fruit abilities for their own use."
"Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit ability appears to have appeared in a member of the Phantom Pirates named Machi."
"Furthermore, Teach also claimed that... the reason why the Phantom Pirates' huge ships can fly in the sky may not have anything to do with future technology, but is most likely because they hunted Shiki the Golden Lion and stole his abilities."
Jaygolucia's initial disdain vanished, replaced by a gloomy expression.
"They have liberated three countries one after another... There are already rumors that they have inherited the drum of liberation. Perhaps it is related to the Will of D," Topman continued.
Jaygolucia's expression darkened further.
"Our investigation even suggests that this group's existence... may be related to the Revolutionary Army!" Topman continued.
"The Revolutionary Army's recent movements are completely different from before. They seem to no longer confront the Navy head-on, but instead go underground and secretly cultivate their power... to enlighten the people."
"Such a revolutionary army...is actually a greater threat to us."
As Topman spoke, Igorusia's expression grew increasingly grim.
However, Topman's last words caused the five men's faces to change color almost simultaneously: "And Robin, the surviving son of Ohara, is also on that ship. There is even intelligence indicating that... they may very well... possess the contents of the two Poneglyphs."
"And... we intend to continue exploring."
"!!!"
"Hmph—" Igorusia sneered, "The so-called Will of D is truly incorrigible."
"The blank century of history must never be spied on by anyone."
"Furthermore, the power to seize another's Devil Fruit and use it for one's own purposes must not be allowed to grow, as it will pose a threat to the World Government's rule."
Topman: "Then there's only one way to go."
The two exchanged a glance and slowly spoke: "The Demon-Slaying Order."
"Passed." "Passed." "Passed."
The five voted unanimously.
"Initiate the highest-level Demon Buster Order," Igorusia said coldly.
"Notify CP department to monitor these thieves' movements closely. If they land on any island, immediately issue a Buster Call to eliminate them!"
Igorusia's bulky body slowly moved to a golden Den Den Mushi, picked it up, and dialed.
At the same time, the silver Den Den Mushi in front of Admiral Sengoku, located on the first floor of Pango Castle, rang.
Sengoku's usually calm demeanor suddenly changed, revealing surprise. He slowly raised his hand to answer the call: "Lord Igorusia."
"Sengoku. We have agreed to Blackbeard's appointment as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. We can send him to work with the CP department to escort Ace into Impel Down."
"Yes."
"Furthermore... given the identity of the prisoner, Portgas D. Ace, we have decided to arrange his public execution in three months."
"To uphold the prestige of the World Government and end the Great Pirate Era."
"The Navy must be fully prepared and redeploy all operational units to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates' attack. This will be the first clash between the Navy and one of the Four Emperors' crews; don't let us down."
Sengoku on the other end of the phone looked astonished. He knew perfectly well that publicly executing Ace would offend that man, the strongest man in the world.
He could foresee the storm this event would unleash.
However, he was a soldier, and soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders.
Moreover...
During his reign as Grand Master, ending the Great Pirate Era will be a significant achievement in his future political career!
"Yes."
"There's one last thing." Igorusia's voice on the other end of the phone was calm and indifferent, as if nothing in the world could arouse his interest.
However, his next words caused Sengoku, who had practiced his internal energy cultivation for over a decade and rarely uttered a sound of surprise, to gasp in astonishment.
"Have the naval forces in all locations keep a close watch on the Phantom Pirates' movements, and order Lieutenant Commander Smoker to continue tracking their location. Once they are located on any island..."
'
"Immediately launch the highest-level Buster Call! Dispatch Sakazuki and the Nameless Lieutenant General to annihilate the enemy."
Sengoku's ears had developed a mishearing effect; he didn't know how he hung up the phone, nor did he realize how out of control his expression was.
A Buster Call of the highest order, personally led by a Navy Admiral...
How many years has it been since it last appeared...?
And this doesn't just mean eliminating the Phantom Pirates; the highest level... indicates:
Regardless of which island this pirate crew lands on next, the Phantom Pirates and the island they stand on will disappear from the world map, becoming history forever.
"Marshal of the Warring States Period..."
"Marshal of the Warring States Period..."
'
The call of the burning mountain beside him pulled Zhan Guo back to reality.
Teach had an inquisitive look on his face. He was very curious about what the man opposite him, who was already a naval admiral and at the peak of his power, had heard to make him look like that.
"Marshal of the Warring States, how is my appointment going?"
Sengoku composed himself, his voice regaining its composure: "Your appointment has been confirmed, Marshall D. Teach. From today onwards, you are a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"We have already agreed to your request. From today onwards, you will accompany the CP members to be in charge of escorting Ace through Impel Down."
Teach slammed his hands on the table, stood up excitedly, and exclaimed, "That couldn't be better!"
'
Teach's eyes narrowed immediately. "Sengoku, I think I just heard something about the Phantom Pirates..."
"That's none of your business," Sengoku said coldly.
Teach shrugged, then slowly stood up. He guessed that, based on his report, the Navy would at least increase the bounty on the Phantom Pirates.
But it's none of my business anymore...
He turned and walked away. He had achieved his goal: to use this opportunity to go to Impel Down and recruit the most vicious crew in the world. Only the monsters deepest in Impel Down were worthy of being his crew.
In this way, his pirate crew will truly take center stage.
To exact revenge on the entire world...
