"Oh my god! This... can't be true!"
"Nineteen Celestial Dragons were killed in the Golden City?! Not a single one left alive?"
"The perpetrators were the Rocks Pirates!"
"The four powerhouses of the Naval Headquarters, Kong, Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr, were first attacked by the Rocks Pirates!"
"Then the Five Elders, the highest authority in the world, arrived at the scene!"
"Each of the Five Elders is a general-level powerhouse, but they still couldn't stop the Rocks Pirates from killing the Celestial Dragons!"
"Rocks fought two of them without losing!"
"The captain of the first team, Whitebeard, and the captain of the second team, Golden Lion, fought against a Five Elder each!"
"A new figure has emerged. The cadre who has just joined the Rocks Pirates for three months, the captain of the seventh division, Rono, made a significant impact in this war!"
"[The God Slayer] Rono, a rookie who has only been with the Rocks Pirates for three months!"
"It was he who decided the outcome of this war?"
On an ordinary morning in the Chambord Islands, life seemed the same as before.
Until a group of albatrosses scattered newspapers from the air.
The inhabitants of the Chambord Islands could no longer remain calm!
Everyone seemed to have been struck by lightning, their hair stood on end, and their expressions were stiff!
This scene wasn't limited to the Chambord Islands!
At this moment, on Zou, the homeland of the Mink Tribe.
Fishman Island, 10,000 meters under the sea.
Amazon Lily, known as the island of women.
The Alabasta Kingdom on the Grand Line.
Frevans before it became the White Town.
Dressrosa in the New World.
The Goa Kingdom in the East Blue.
The City of Water 7, and more!
People from all over the world had expressions of utter shock!
The four admirals of the navy and the Five Elders were dispatched—a total of nine general-level powerhouses!
Plus dozens of elite vice admirals and CP0 agents!
This was almost all the combat power the World Government and Naval Headquarters could muster!
Despite this, 19 Celestial Dragons still died at the hands of the Rocks Pirates!
For a time, the name of the Rocks Pirates became even more fearsome!
Especially, the monstrous figure called [The God slayer] Rono!
After being silent for three months, the name of [The God Slayer] once again spread throughout the world!
Like the first two times, this time... it was about the Celestial Dragons again!
In the Golden City, all 19 Celestial Dragons died at the hands of Rono!
Rono fought against a sword-wielding Five Elder by himself!
In a short period, he cut off the arm of the Five Elder and even took the supreme sword, the first-generation Ghost!
It was because of [The God Slayer]'s addition that the balance of power was instantly broken!
There are even rumors that Rono's strength has surpassed that of general-level powerhouses!
All the details of various battles were disclosed, and people all over the world were stunned!
None of the 19 Celestial Dragons survived—all were dead!
The undefeated reputation of the Navy and World Government seemed broken!
This result deeply shocked people all over the world!
Can they still maintain the balance of the world, and can the navy uphold justice?
Or, is it that the World Government and the Naval Headquarters can no longer suppress the threat of the Rocks Pirates!
People all over the world, and even many countries, were in a state of panic.
The credibility of the Navy and the World Government was hit like never before!
Rocks, Rono, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion were the powerhouses who shined brightly in this event!
They became known as legendary pirates in the world!
After this battle, the bounties of the Rocks Pirates skyrocketed!
Captain Rocks now had a bounty of 5.388 billion Berries!
In this sea, Rocks is the only maritime overlord with a bounty of more than 5 billion!
Rono, the vice-captain of Rocks, has had his bounty increased from 1.5 billion to 3.5 billion Berries!
It's 2 billion Berries higher than before, nearly doubling!
Rono's reputation has directly overshadowed the long-established captain of the first division, Edward Newgate!
And the captain of the second division, the Flying Pirates, Golden Lion Shiki!
Whitebeard now has a bounty of 2.8325 billion Berries!
The Golden Lion has a bounty of 2.698 billion Berries!
Charlotte Linlin has a bounty of 1.729 billion Berries!
Silver Axe has a bounty of 1.678 billion Berries!
John has a bounty of 1.593 billion Berries!
Wang Zhi has a bounty of 1.557 billion Berries!
The bounty for all members has nearly doubled!
At the same time, in the Holy Land, Mary Geoise!
The conference hall, which symbolizes power, was in chaos!
The ground was full of scattered documents, and the tables and chairs were shattered.
The floor was covered with cobweb-like cracks.
At this time, the Five Elders were wrapped in bandages, and it was obvious that their injuries from the Golden City incident had not yet healed.
But their momentum still broke out!
Clearly, they were very angry!
"Who is it? Who leaked this information?!"
"This incident has spread all over the world! The World Government's reputation will be greatly affected!"
"19 Celestial Dragons were killed. Do the people of the world still believe in the navy and the World Government? This is a big question!"
"What is the response from the outside world?"
"It's chaotic! Many kings have expressed concerns about whether the World Government can suppress the Rocks Pirates!"
"Some kings have even said that if the World Government doesn't show the strength to suppress the Rocks Pirates, it won't be able to protect their countries!"
"If that happens, Heavenly Tribute may be affected!"
"Damn! Who the hell leaked the news!"
The Five Elders were extremely angry, and their Haki shattered the glass on all four sides of the Hall of Power!
Some kings are worried that the World Government can no longer protect their countries, so they are prepared not to pay the Heavenly Tribute!
They are even willing to hand over the Heavenly Tribute to the Rocks Pirates!
What is this?
This is the foundation of the World Government!
Without the Heavenly Tribute, where will the military expenditure of the navy come from?
Where will the expenses of the World Government come from?
And the cost of the Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land!
This all requires money!
