Chapter 478— I will kill you soon
The furious shouts of the Five Elders erupted from the video Den Den Mushi, their voices filled with rage.
But Kurozumi Orochi merely sneered, utterly unfazed.
He knew all too well—if the World Government, led by the Five Elders, truly intended to eliminate him, these CP0 agents would have left long ago rather than waste time negotiating.
The world government was now teetering on the brink of its most dangerous and desperate crisis.
The collapse of the member-state system, the open rebellion of the Navy Headquarters under Akainu, and the Navy's unstoppable advance had undoubtedly driven the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons into a state of panic.
The more they cursed, the clearer it became—this was nothing but their desperation speaking.
Now, more than ever, they needed the support of Wano Country. And more importantly, they needed him.
"Have you said enough? Enough of the harsh words; let's talk business."
Kurozumi Orochi sneered at the Den Den Mushi screen.
The Five Elders gradually fell into silence.
**New Navy Headquarters**
Blackbeard's severed head rolled across the ground like a spinning wheel.
Blood gushed from his neck, spraying into the air like a high-pressure fountain before splattering onto the ground—its deep crimson hue as rich as wine.
All eyes were fixed on the gruesome sight.
Blackbeard's headless body swayed before collapsing, his lifeblood quickly absorbed by the thirsty earth.
A bottomless silence engulfed the world.
Blackbeard Teach, one of the Four Emperors who once ruled the New World, had been publicly executed.
This was the greatest triumph for justice since the execution of the Pirate King, Roger.
The cold wind gradually faded, yet the spring sunlight could not erase the lingering murderous intent that hung between heaven and earth.
At this moment, the world knew—the voice of "justice" had shifted completely.
No longer did the World Government's Navy Headquarters hold that authority.
It now belonged to Neo Marines.
On the execution platform, Liu Feng gently swung his sword, a dazzling arc of blood tracing its path before splattering onto the platform beneath him.
Clang!
He slowly sheathed his blade.
The video Den Den Mushi's camera panned toward him, capturing his sharp-edged face, streaked with blood.
He suddenly laughed, but the laugh was cold.
"People of the world, hear me—I assure you, this is only the beginning."
"I believe you already understand… The New Navy is on the verge of unifying the New World."
"Yes, just as we swore on the day we founded the New Navy, we have upheld our promise—to eradicate all evil and become the sword of justice."
"We are now closer than ever to fulfilling that vow."
"In the waters of the New World, only one force remains—the Beasts Pirates, the last of the Four Emperors' great pirate crews, hiding within Wano Country."
At this point, Liu Feng lifted his gaze slightly, his sharp eyes locking onto the Den Den Mushi's screen.
And at that moment, everyone watching felt as if his piercing stare was directed straight at them.
"Wano Country… Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi."
"If I'm not mistaken, you've seen this, haven't you?"
On the screen, Liu Feng's half-squinted eyes gleamed, his entire body illuminated by crackling lightning—like a god born from thunder.
"Wait for it."
"Soon, I will kill you."
Blood rained down.
The screen froze.
The world erupted in shock.
"Damn brat!!"
In the grand palace of Wano Country, Kurozumi Orochi hurled his wine jug to the ground.
Crash!
The jug shattered into countless shards, wine splattering everywhere.
The advisors seated around him remained still, an eerie tension filling the air.
"It seems you've truly become a target, Kurozumi Orochi."
In the military Den Den Mushi, the Five Elders' strange sneer slowly came out, making Kurozumi Orochi's face extremely gloomy.
Originally, the transaction negotiations between him and the Five Elders was going very smoothly. After all, he had defeated their edge at the beginning and had the upper hand in the negotiations.
But he never expected that Liu Feng would say such "shocking" words in front of the whole world!!
"Orochi, now we feel that you need the protection and support of our government more."
Another Five Elders sneered.
"That's right, Liu Feng has publicly announced his goal."
"In this case, he probably won't cause trouble for our government in the short term."
"Well, his primary target will be Wano Country, that is, you and Kaido."
"How is it? Kurozumi Orochi, it seems that our trading conditions need to be changed."
Kurozumi Orochi listened to the voice coming from the military Den Den Mushi, and scarlet blood gradually seeped out around the pupils of his eyes. His muscles twitched continuously, and shocking blue veins bulged ferociously.
He was extremely angry.
Liu Feng's public declaration of war meant that he would come even if Wano Country was difficult to fight.
