Chapter 217: Sengoku's Shock

Marine Headquarters, Marineford, Fleet Admiral's Office

The phone Den Den Mushi on Sengoku's desk suddenly rang.

Before Sengoku could speak, Neilman's terrified voice came through the receiver: "Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Something has happened!"

"The Celestial Dragon! The Celestial Dragon has been killed!"

What!

Sengoku immediately stood up, his expression one of shock and disbelief.

A Celestial Dragon was killed!

"Who did it? Which Celestial Dragon was killed?"

Sengoku's face grew grim, the weight of the situation heavy on his mind.

The death of a Celestial Dragon meant that the holy land's Celestial Dragons would never let this go. Sengoku could already foresee the storm that would engulf the entire sea.

"It was Saint Charlos!"

"Yes!"

"It was White Demon!"

"The murderer of the Celestial Dragon is White Demon!"

Sengoku's hand trembled as he gripped the phone Den Den Mushi tightly, his other hand clenched into a fist.

White Demon!

Again, it was them!

What on earth are they trying to achieve? Are they aiming to disrupt the order of the world?!

"After I regained consciousness, the Devil Fruits on the ship also disappeared."

"It is likely that the White Demon Pirates have stolen it."

In the face of such a crisis, losing Devil Fruits was a minor issue compared to the murder of a Celestial Dragon, which was unprecedented since the establishment of the World Government.

Even the Yonko would hesitate to kill a Celestial Dragon. They were the World Government's major priority, and no one wanted to attract such trouble to themselves.

"I understand."

After ending the call, Sengoku's expression hardened. He immediately called a meeting with all the Admirals and Vice Admirals to discuss countermeasures.

New World, Moby Dick.

"Pops! This is huge!"

Marco rushed in holding a newspaper.

"Gurararara! Marco, what happened?" Whitebeard laughed heartily.

"Pops, take a look at this."

Marco handed the newspaper to Whitebeard with a serious expression. Whitebeard's brow furrowed as he read the article, his eyes reflecting shock.

After a long silence.

"Gurararara! The White Demon Pirates have truly done something extraordinary."

Killing a Celestial Dragon was something the World Government had never faced before; it was like touching their bottom line.

"Pops, what exactly happened?"

The other division commanders were unaware of the situation. Marco took a deep breath and said gravely, "The White Demon Pirates killed a Celestial Dragon."

Gasp!

The division commanders collectively inhaled sharply.

Killing a Celestial Dragon!

The White Demon Pirates were incredibly bold! They even dared to kill a Celestial Dragon!

Whitebeard looked at his sons with a grave expression.

The sea was no longer peaceful; the White Demon Pirates had completely disrupted the order of the sea, and the impact would eventually affect all the Yonko crews.

No Yonko crew could remain unaffected.

They needed to be prepared.

Amazon Lily.

In the large palace, the Warlord of the Sea, Pirate Empress Boa Hancock was reading the newspaper!

Hancock tightly clutched the newspaper, her eyes widening in shock, unable to contain her emotions.

"Unbelievable!"

"They actually killed a Celestial Dragon!"

"The White Demon Pirates!"

Hancock's hands trembled as she held the newspaper, her eyes filling with tears.

"Good!"

"Celestial Dragons are trash! They deserve to die!"

Hancock's words were filled with immense hatred. She wished for the complete destruction of the Celestial Dragons.

The memories of her childhood were painful and something Hancock did not want to revisit.

"Sandersonia, Marigold, prepare. I'm setting sail."

Marigold looked up in confusion. "Sister, where are you going?"

Hancock's exquisite face and golden proportioned figure were mesmerizing. Her eyes held a resolute glint.

"I will follow the White Demon Pirates!"

Near Sabaody Archipelago

An hour away from the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Captain, you've done something extraordinary."

Kun commented with disbelief.

"Killed a Celestial Dragon. It seems we can no longer avoid the World Government."

Ryujiro remarked nonchalantly, "Celestial Dragons, I don't understand why the World Government keeps those idiots around."

"A bunch of parasites, this world is sick."

Indeed.

Celestial Dragons claim to be descendants of the creators, and their actions are even more vile than pirates. Yet, the World Government continues to protect them.

Because they are Celestial Dragons.

In the eyes of Celestial Dragons, ordinary people should kneel and respect them, feeling honored to be their slaves.

Celestial Dragons are the most despicable creatures in the world.

Ryujiro stood up and stretched.

"Be ready. Once we reach Sabaody Archipelago, we'll likely be surrounded by pirates."

"We're in for a tough battle. It will also be a good experience for you all."

Kun, Carmen, and Lucci understood that these words were directed at them.

Ryujiro glanced at Perona, "Just make sure to protect the ship."

Perona was not a combatant. Her abilities were not fully developed, so even if she joined the fight, it wouldn't make much difference.

Perona was overjoyed not to be involved in the battle.

"If you don't protect it well, after the war, you'll have ten times the usual training."

Ryujiro said calmly.

Perona: "…"

Oh no!

Help me!

The thought of ten times the training was almost unbearable. If that happened, she might collapse from the pain.

"It depends on how Marines are prepared."

"Don't tell me they only prepared two Admirals; that would be too boring."

Ryujiro said with a faint smile.

The others' expressions stiffened. Only two Admirals would be too boring?

How many Admirals would satisfy the captain?

During this time, both Kun and Carmen's strengths had rapidly increased. Even if they couldn't defeat an Admiral, they could at least hold their own in battle.

Though they couldn't win, they wouldn't fall behind either.

As for Lucci, who specialized in Rokushiki, his strength had grown significantly compared to before. 

His talent in physical arts was unrivaled, even surpassing Kun. The three of them had also mastered Haki, both Armament and Observation.

To engage in a major battle with the Navy, one had to master Haki.

Gradually, a small island appeared in their view, with many bubbles floating in the air.

The Sabaody Archipelago was a necessary stop for every pirate on their way to the New World.

The Ark Maxim docked at the port, and as Ryujiro and his crew disembarked onto the Sabaody Archipelago, they sensed a subtle atmosphere in the air.
