Zhong Chen sat on the execution platform, looking into the distance.
A massive fleet slowly emerged from the coastline.
The sunlight scattered across the sea, reflecting dazzling light, making the fleet appear even more magnificent.
Zhong Chen felt the sea breeze, stood up, and stretched lazily.
Then, Zhong Chen finally shouted the classic slogan he had long wanted to exclaim:
"Gentlemen, I love war!"
His voice echoed through the air like a great bell.
Hearing his words, the army below immediately erupted in a deafening cheer, as if injected with a stimulant.
"Oh oh oh oh!!!"
The soldiers waved their weapons, shouted slogans, and were exceptionally excited.
Some Goblin soldiers even shed tears of relief.
Lord Chen actually said he loved war.
It truly made them feel as if their Lord was growing up.
"Wow! I want to shout too, it sounds so cool!"
Milim watched Zhong Chen, who had just finished shouting and was posing, with sparkling eyes.
She fantasized about herself standing there and yelling.
"Hahaha, Milim, don't even think about it! If anyone's going to shout, it has to be me!"
Ramiris, wearing an extra-small, 'doing nothing' cape, loudly told Milim with a 'you can't do it' expression.
"None of you can do it, only this great one is most suitable to shout that sentence!"
Veldora also interjected unceremoniously.
"You guys, A Chen has already finished shouting, is it really meaningful to argue about this now?"
Rimuru looked at the three arguing individuals with a speechless expression.
"Uh…"
"System, do you think my army formation below is magnificent?"
"It's alright! Host, what do you want to say?"
"Do you think this war will end like a landslide?"
"Sh…should be!"
"Then do you think…"
"Host, that's enough, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Hehe, I just want to sign in!"
"Just sign in, why say so much? Trying to pad the word count?"
"…"
"Ding, congratulations Host for acquiring God Transformation Pill * 1 (Red)"
God Transformation Pill: One pill to reach the peak of God Transformation, Mom no longer has to worry about me being stuck at Nascent Soul!
"Nani!!! System, have you finally realized that I'm just a small fry at Nascent Soul?"
"Didn't you claim to be a Nascent Soul Grandmaster!"
"Tch!"
Leaving Zhong Chen and the System padding the word count aside, let's shift our attention to the approaching Marine fleet.
"Hahaha! Did Sengoku really say that?"
Garp, picking his nose, curiously asked Aokiji, who was lying on a beach chair nearby.
"Yes! Fleet Admiral Sengoku gave those exact instructions."
"It seems that besides our ship, all other ships, except for the flag officers, are filled with problematic officers and soldiers transferred from all over the world!"
"Hmph! Needing help to clean out the parasites, if you ask me, just kill them all directly! Those who collude with pirates deserve to die!"
Hearing Aokiji's words, Admiral Akainu, who had been standing at the bow of the ship with his arms crossed, spoke with a grim expression.
"After all, it's so many people. If they were all cleaned out at once, it would definitely cause unrest!"
Aokiji adjusted his eye patch and explained.
"Hmph!"
Hearing this, Admiral Akainu just snorted coldly and said nothing more.
"But I am quite curious, Sakazuki, you actually didn't insist on rescuing the Celestial Dragon, that doesn't seem like you!"
Garp, eating donuts one by one, looked at Sakazuki with a surprised expression.
"Celestial Dragon? What does that have to do with me? The Monster Country Federation isn't a pirate group, and I hear they're also constantly cracking down on pirates!"
When Admiral Akainu mentioned the Monster Country Federation cracking down on pirates, a rare smile appeared on his stern face.
The Marine high-ranking officials present all looked at Admiral Akainu as if they were seeing him for the first time.
"Aren't you the one who always follows orders from superiors the most? How come you're disobeying orders now!"
Aokiji asked Sakazuki with a smile playing on his lips.
"Hmph! I am merely carrying out the orders issued by Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
Admiral Akainu heard Aokiji's words, his smile vanished, and he responded stiffly.
"You fellow…"
Just as Aokiji and Garp were about to tease him further, a messenger ran over, saluted, and reported:
"Report! Vice Admiral Garp, Admiral Akainu, Admiral Aokiji, our forces have approached the Crescent Port of the Monster Country Federation!"
"The opponent has not closed their gates; instead, they have uncharacteristically left them wide open!"
"Vice Admiral Smoker is asking whether to continue advancing!"
"Hmph, since we've come this far, can we still retreat! Advance!"
Admiral Akainu directly ordered upon hearing the soldier's report.
"Yes!"
After speaking, the messenger saluted and turned to leave.
"By the way, those CP0…"
"Ignore them, the Monster Country Federation will handle it."
"Alright!"
As the Marine fleet passed through the harbor gates and arrived at the crescent-shaped bay.
The Monster Country Federation, which had been unresponsive, finally made a move.
Benimaru instantly vanished from his chair and reappeared on a warship docked in the port.
"Ice Age!"
The Marines who discovered Benimaru also dispatched Aokiji to activate his Devil Fruit ability, freezing the entire surface of the bay.
This created a battlefield where both sides could engage in close combat.
Seeing this, Benimaru leaped to the center of the bay and shouted loudly at the Marine fleet:
"Welcome, everyone, to my Monster Country Federation as guests, but I wonder if you will be able to return safely!"
"If you want to rescue that fat pig, then come and challenge us!"
Everyone looked in the direction Benimaru was pointing.
They saw a fat pig, stripped naked and with wounds all over his face, being forced to kneel on the ground by two guards.
The reporters present also hastily gave Smulet a close-up shot.
"Is this a Celestial Dragon? Turns out they're not so different from us after all!"
"Hahaha! They actually have a day like this, daughter, someone is finally avenging you!"
"This is the so-called god? If this is god, then god is too cheap!"
People from all over the world discussed animatedly upon seeing Smulet's miserable state.
There were those worried about the Monster Country Federation, those sighing about the Celestial Dragons, and those who felt their great revenge was finally exacted.
In any case, there were all kinds of people, the only things missing were sympathy and pity.
Bang!
The Five Elders, looking at Smulet's tragic state on the screen, couldn't help but slam their hands on the table.
"The despicable Monster Country Federation dares to insult the World Nobles like this!"
"And that damned Smulet, he's completely disgraced the Celestial Dragons!"
"This time, when he's rescued, confine him at home!"
The Five Elders all expressed their opinions, but none of them thought that Smulet couldn't be rescued.
"Notify Sengoku, I want the high-ranking officials of the Monster Country Federation alive, I want to publicly execute them!"
"Hmm, that should be done!"
From the words of the Five Elders, one could imagine what Sengoku's expression would be when he received the order.
Good heavens, and live capture? Why don't you go try it yourself, it's so easy to say.
It truly is: leaders move their mouths, subordinates run their legs off, he… tui (`-д-;)ゞ!!!
