Chapter 69: Tensions Rise in the Dragon Kingdom - World Government's Intrigue and Gao Yang's Bold Move!

The Golden Emperor's stood still, with Kizaru's Marine fleet behind him.

More than 20 top-level warships, but many soldiers looked hesitant.

As individuals, they admired and even envied the residents of the Dragon Kingdom.

But they had to obey orders, and the thought of attacking a peaceful kingdom made many Marines uncomfortable.

'Is this justice?'

Even Kizaru had doubts about the justice of their mission.

He thought about the World Government's involvement in Ohara incidents, and realized that the Dragon Kingdom was a miracle.

He understood that Gao Yang was important and could not fall into pirate hands.

He hoped to persuade Gao Yang to go with the Marines so that he could be safely sent to the Holy Land.

Dozens of pirate ships and ships of unknown origin, as well as fleets from different kingdoms, gathered around the Marines.

They waited quietly, even though the Red Hair Pirates were close by and had a feud with the Beasts Pirates.

Everyone was waiting for the King of the Dragon Kingdom's answer.

If the King agreed to go with the Marines, they would do whatever it took to stop him.

If he refused, they would act according to their own plans.

Red-Haired Shanks scanned all the forces.

"Beckman, remember these guys well. We're going to get rich now."

Beckman glanced at them and was quite moved.

"Many of them have dealt with the kingdom of Elbaf."

"Some old guys haven't come yet. Whitebeard is on the way, and so are Garp and Sengoku. If Rocks comes, the other Marine Admirals will definitely come too! CPO and God's Knights are probably lurking in the dark already!"

"Although some people are here to watch the fun, they won't hesitate if it's beneficial. The Dragon Kingdom is in danger, and we can't help. We can only see who gets something. Let's take the opportunity to make a fortune and keep an eye on Kaido!"

"Clear."

"I really want to fight a few tricks with the swordsmen of the Dragon Kingdom, but the Dragon Kingdom is in a crisis, and fighting like a rock is not enough to satisfy people." Hawk-Eye said indifferently.

"Even three Elbafs are not enough to do them harm."

Suddenly there was commotion.

"The most beautiful woman in the world, Boa Hancock!"

"Beckman, check out all these guys! We're gonna make a fortune today!"

Red-Hair scanned the crowd.

"Ochoku, Silver Ax, Big Mom, Kaido, Loan Shark King, Morgans, Major Undertaker, Golden Lion, Kid, Doflamingo, Moria, Tyrant Bear... so many fleets from different countries, and famous bounty hunters too!"

Beckman was impressed

"Many of these people have messed with Elbaf before. Some old man haven't shown up yet, like Whitebeard, Garp, and Sengoku. If Rocks comes, the other Marine Admirals are sure to follow. And the CPO and God's Knights are probably lurking in the shadows somewhere."

"Some people are just here to watch the fun, but they won't hesitate to strike if it's in their best interest. The Dragon Kingdom is in trouble, and we can't help. We can only see who wins. Let's make a fortune and keep an eye on Kaido!"

"I really want to fight the Dragon Kingdom's swordsmen, but they're in a crisis, and fighting like a wuss isn't enough to satisfy me," Hawk-Eye said nonchalantly.

"Not even three Elbafs could hurt them."

Suddenly, it got crazy.

"Boa Hancock, the world's most beautiful woman!"

Even for a powerful person like Red Hair, it was only a curiosity at first glance.

He didn't pay much attention after that.

Many people passing overhead stopped breathing when they saw the forces emerging from the Dragon Kingdom.

[Festa: Dragon Kingdom, you are a gathering of so many powerful people that even Roger's Great Age of Pirates has never seen before. I, the organizer of the celebration, can never surpass you. I will watch with respect as you are annihilated in the long river of history.]

"Even now, this man's face shows no fear. Is it because he's mentally strong, or is there something else helping him? Either way, he's an impressive man."

Hancock's eyes focused on the King of the Dragon Kingdom, who was looking at Kizaru.

The two sisters next to her were surprised to hear her praise a man.

"If the Marines fail to negotiate, the others will probably wait to see how strong the Dragon Kingdom is before attacking. So we need to strike first and catch them off guard!" Kaido grinned.

"You're not worried about the Dragon Kingdom's military power?"

"It's no use worrying. Life is a gamble! If you want to be one step ahead, you have to take more risks!"

"The Dragon Kingdom is about to be destroyed. Pay attention to every detail." Morgans said to his crew.

"Wealth, power, resources...everything will be ours." The loan shark king lit a cigar.

"I just like war and death." The big-handed undertaker smiled evilly.

"We shouldn't be here, but we have no choice." Capone Bege looked serious.

"Kaido and Big Mom are probably working together again." The burly man Silver Ax said to the other burly man.

"It's not surprising. They're one of the most dangerous forces around. They have an advantage in strength now, so they're probably eager to attack. Otherwise, they'll lose their advantage when the Marine reinforcements or Whitebeard and the old captain arrive. We'll follow behind them!" Ochoku smiled.

"Destruction and death! Fufurfur... Hurry up and kill. I can't wait to taste blood."

Doflamingo, who lost his title as a Warlord of the Sea, is now under Kaido's protection and will be fighting with them.

Dragon in the cloak sits on clouds with complex expression.

His plan: take advantage of chaos to seize Gao Yang.

'No one can catch my speed as i take Gao Yang.'

"The Dragon King is brave and will not back down from danger. He has great potential to be a great king, but he needs to show his true abilities." Axe had two axes on his belt.

"You're right and If we get Gao Yang, we can finally make the captain's dream come true."

Rayleigh is there too.

They all travel light and fast, faster than Whitebeard and Sengoku!

"What if you can't get it?"

"Then take one step at a time!"

"Rayleigh, did you hear me?"

"What?"

"If you can't get it, you could join them."

"You're actually suggesting that?"

"Dragon Kingdom is a great country."

"That will perish with us!"

Under countless gazes, Gao Yang looked at Kizaru and spoke.

"I can't agree with your request. Do I need to say more?"

"Have you really thought about it? If you join us, we'll try our best to save your Kingdom for you." Kizaru rarely spoke seriously.

No slacking off this time.

"Even if I'm gone, the Dragon Kingdom's wealth and resources will still tempt others. If you really want that power, Elbaf should be your only choice."

Gao Yang's words silenced Kizaru.

This is true.

"Your kingdom is gone, but you're still alive, so you can create a new one. The World Government will be generous. We can give you a larger and more populated kingdom."

A masked CP0 agent emerges.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Jikel, the commander of World Government CP0," Jikel said proudly. "It's normal for those who achieve great things to make sacrifices."

"That's your normal state, but not ours. It seems we're not on the same page. Please leave."

"Your only choice is to join the World Government. Without us, you have no chance of protecting your Kingdom. With us, you have a 1/10,000 chance." Jikel's face sank.

'The Dragon King couldn't tell good from bad.'

He watched Gao Yang turn and leave.

He tried to stop him, but Kizaru stopped him.

"Wait a minute," Kizaru said.

'It's really tiring to do missions with people from the World Government! After just a few words, I had to resort to force. Anyway, give him time to think.'

"Kizaru, I'm the commander of this operation."

"Yes, but he need time to think." Kizaru's reply became sloppy.

"The pirates won't give us time."

"Doing it now would poke a hornet's nest, and the pirates would rush forward."

"I didn't say I was going to do it."

"???" Kizaru froze for a moment.

"Let's not waste each other's time. No matter how much time is given to consider this matter, my answer will not change."

"Your Excellency Gao Yang, don't be impulsive. Think about it carefully. The pirates are not as easy to talk to as us. Although we do have some problems, it's all for the sake of the overall situation." Kizaru smoothed things over with a smile.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes..." Gao Yang waved his hand, too lazy to talk.

'We can't chat if we're not on the same page. If you want to cooperate, you can still consider it. But even if you give up your country to be my dog, nothing will change.'

"Since this is the case, can we talk business with His Excellency Gao Yang?"

"Business?" Gao Yang stopped.

"Yes. We had a Marine disappear here last night. We think he's in your Dragon Kingdom. Can we enter and search for him?"

When the World Government made this request, everyone was shocked.

It was shamelessly asking to enter the Dragon Kingdom, which would collapse all of the kingdom's external defenses.

This would create chaos and make it easier to take down Gao Yang.

But Gao Yang is not a fool. He wouldn't agree to such a request.

But if he refuses, he will slap the World Government in the face.

And no matter what the World Government does, public opinion will be on their side.

Gao Yang heard the request and was very angry.

This surprised Boss Bai, who had never seen him so angry before.

Everyone was shocked by Gao Yang's response.

"The forest in our Dragon Kingdom is very large and dense. You can enter the country if you want, but there are many wild beasts in the forest. Be careful."

"Hmph! You're afraid to fight our world government head-on. Your kingdom is nothing compared to us!" The CP0 smirked.

He understood what Gao Yang was saying. Gao Yang was warning him that they might be in danger if they entered the Dragon Kingdom.

The CP0 didn't care.

He just wanted to get into the Dragon Kingdom and cause chaos.

He gave a casual order to his men to mess up the Dragon Kingdom at the appointed time.

"Don't worry, we can handle the wild beasts. Thank you for your cooperation, Gao Yang. With our strength, we should be able to search the entire forest in about three hours."

The CP0 has given Gao Yang three hours to decide whether to join the World Government.

If Gao Yang refuses, they will take action.

Kizaru wants to say something, but Gao Yang's attitude is clear and firm.

As long as Gao Yang refuses, they must take action.

Therefore, there is little room for negotiation and communication between the two sides. Kizaru can only go with The CP0.

[Morgans: The king of the Dragon Kingdom is not crazy! Does he know what the consequences will be?]

[Loan usury king: He says the forest is dangerous? What a weak threat!]

[Bonney: What if he doesn't agree? It's the World Government!]

[Red Hair: I didn't expect the World Government to attack first.]

What Gao Yang said next made everyone even more anxious.

""The Marine said someone got lost in our kingdom."

These words shocked everyone.

[Buggy: Is he crazy? What is he trying to do?]

[Morgans: Does he have some dangerous plan?]

[Loan usury king: Nonsense! There's no way to stop so many people, not even the blue-haired strong man!]

[Kaido: You're right.]

[Big Mom: He just give up on his kingdom!]

[Ochoku: Normal, he has the ability to re-establish a kingdom anywhere if he escapes!]

[Hancock: Did you just give up like this? I'm a little disappointed.]

Gao Yang's words are shocking and tempting, but they also make people worry. Could there be a trap?

All of the forces looked at each other, unsure of how to proceed.

Even the big forces were hesitant.

Is there a trap, or is the king of the Dragon Kingdom simply mad?

"The port is open for one hour starting now."

After Gao Yang finished speaking, he left, leaving everyone behind with confused and worried faces.

"Guard,"

"Yes, Gao Yang-sama."

"The highest level in the Mana ecosystem, focusing on taking care of people in the world government."

"Understood."

"I didn't expect anyone to take the initiative to fall into the trap. Let's see who the lucky ones are!" Gao Yang sneered.
