"Pfft cough cough!"
Black Monkey was kicked and coughed up blood, waking up.
He immediately found he couldn't move, looked down and saw he was bound by spiritual power chains, the surrounding space was dark.
Looking up, he saw the smiling Kizaru.
Beside him were Obito and Tsunade.
"...!"
Black Monkey widened his eyes in disbelief.
Standing together?
Where is this?
Where is Marine Headquarters?
"Oh my, aren't you the arrogant Admiral Black Monkey from before? Reaction speed is so slow?"
Kizaru's clone stepped on him, smiling: "As you can see, I, Borsalino, am a citizen of the Empire. The person who killed you was called by me."
"If you don't die, how can I take the position?"
"Are you surprised? Was it unexpected?"
"..."
Black Monkey's mind went blank!
Kizaru's words were like a bolt from the blue, shattering his soul.
Joined the Marines at 26, 39 this year, serving the Marines for 13 years, Borsalino is a person of the Holy Empire?
Who would dare to believe this if word got out!
At least.
Black Monkey never thought of this possibility because he ruled it out directly.
"Pfft!"
The originally heavily injured Black Monkey spat blood again, his aura weak.
The next moment, Black Monkey roared: "Damn Borsalino, you will die a horrible death, the World Government won't let you go..."
"Finished? Then go to die!"
Kizaru's clone was disdainful, raising his foot to kick this trash who stole his Admiral position.
"Wait a moment!"
Obito stopped Kizaru's clone, raising his hand to cover Black Monkey with spiritual power.
"Soul Investigation Technique!"
Black Monkey's body stagnated.
Eyes dull.
His will, character, memory, etc., were all probed clearly by Obito.
Very quickly.
Obito withdrew his hand and smiled: "Although there are no useful memories, there is an unexpected gain."
"One of the Five Elders died."
What?
Kizaru's clone was stunned.
Those are the Five Elders.
Regarding the former upper-upper-upper-upper level.
Kizaru's main body hadn't even seen them.
After all, he was a Vice Admiral until now.
"Mmm, the blockade was good, few people knew the news. This CP0 ranked at the top happened to know..."
"Said all that needs to be said, utilize the waste. After all, a Mythical Zoan, throw him to the Academy of Sciences."
Hearing Obito's words.
Kizaru's clone smiled.
Going there is a fate worse than death.
Outside the alternate dimension.
Marineford.
All reporters kept taking photos.
The live broadcast was not interrupted.
That was because Sengoku didn't expect Black Monkey to be defeated so quickly, too late to stop it.
People all over the world were discussing.
Kizaru's main body was heartbroken: "Admiral Black Monkey was killed, really too pitiful!"
"No!"
Sengoku took out a Vivre Card.
More than half of it was burned, but not completely.
Kizaru's main body was stunned.
The spiritual body clone didn't kill Black Monkey?
Sengoku held the Vivre Card and said in a deep voice: "Everyone look, the Holy Empire captured Admiral Black Monkey."
"More rampant than pirates, opposing justice."
Before people could recover.
Sengoku changed the subject: "Justice will never be defeated. Losing one Admiral, we have a new Admiral."
"Borsalino listen to the order! From today on, you are the new Admiral Kizaru!"
Sengoku cut the Gordian knot.
Forcibly pulling attention to Kizaru, ending the promotion ceremony as soon as possible.
No need to report to the higher-ups.
They must be watching the live broadcast, no choice.
"Yes, Fleet Admiral!"
Kizaru solemnly took the Admiral cloak.
Plan completely successful.
Black Monkey, farewell!
When Kizaru put on the Admiral cloak, high-spirited.
"Roar!"
A dragon roar came from a distance.
All reporters were startled.
Sengoku, Aokiji, Akainu, and all other officers' expressions sank.
Dragon roar.
Don't need to ask to know it's that madman.
"Good, good!"
"One by one, acting presumptuously here."
"That red-eyed one can run with spatial ability, let's see where you run today!"
Sengoku regained his spirit in anger.
The lost dignity of the Marines must be regained from the evil dragon.
Even if they can't kill him.
Must vent their anger!
"All Admirals attack together! Garp, you too!"
Kaido: "..."
Where is Tsunade?
Ended so quickly?
"Sigh, the boss is going to disappear for a while again."
Watching the live broadcast, Kaido's subordinates looked miserable. The Marines were worried about having nowhere to vent.
The boss ran straight into the muzzle.
Will be locked up for at least ten days or half a month.
At the same time.
The news of the North Blue being fully attacked.
Began to spread crazily throughout the world. After all, the Empire didn't intend to hide it at all.
Shocking countless ambitious people.
The land of the North Blue.
There are many World Government member nations there.
If the World Government does nothing, it will chill the hearts of other member nations.
After all, the World Government just lets them join and pay some protection fees every year.
But the Holy Empire is different.
"Submit and live."
"Refuse and die!"
"Within the Empire, no nobles, royals, Revolutionary Army, Marines, pirates, villains, etc., are allowed to exist."
"Offer everything you have, kneel and be spared death!"
"..."
Listen.
The banner the Holy Empire fights under.
Can only be described by the word "domineering."
The Holy Empire cannot tolerate any other forces. Either kneel and join the Empire, or kneel and be hacked to death!
Those pirates are fine; with luck, they can escape the North Blue. After all, the Empire hasn't blockaded the entire territory yet.
But those kings and nobles.
Where can they escape to?
Leaving means losing status.
Escaping the North Blue means facing other greedy ambitious people.
No way back.
While resisting, they constantly asked the World Government for help.
The only good news.
For the islands in the North Blue, the Empire only sent a large force of ten thousand people, a hundred people per squadron, at most divided into a hundred parts.
To take down the entire North Blue.
Impossible without a few months.
Similarly.
The Empire's dominance.
Incurred public anger.
Like the Revolutionary Army!
"Leader, the Holy Empire is going too far."
"Our branch on Carlo Island was directly destroyed. Those unwilling to submit were all executed."
"Simply more domineering than the World Government, too ambitious."
Karasu, Commander of the North Army of the Revolutionary Army, wearing a black feather coat, was full of anger.
In just a few hours.
The Revolutionary Army suffered heavy losses in various small bases in the North Blue. This is the result of the Holy Empire not advancing on a large scale yet.
After all, only the Holy Soldier unit was dispatched.
Tsunade's appearance let countless people know that the Empire has at least an Air Force unit.
"Everyone calm down."
Dragon spoke in a low voice.
No emotion could be seen on his face; he had to maintain absolute calm.
The cadres calmed down.
Dragon thought for a moment and spoke calmly: "Immediately order the North Blue Revolutionary Army to retreat completely. Our Revolutionary Army... gives up the North Blue."
?!
The cadres couldn't believe it.
Although the main direction is not in the North Blue currently, they have put a lot of effort there.
Retreating just like that.
Ivankov with the deep purple afro said without hesitation: "Hee haw, I agree with the Leader's decision."
A cadre asked in confusion: "Leader, you must have at least one reason."
"Reason?"
A bitter smile flashed in Dragon's calm eyes, and he said steadily: "The North Blue... is not something we are qualified to participate in."
"We are too weak!"
Everyone was stunned.
Dragon continued: "So what if we don't retreat? Go to war with the Holy Empire?"
"The Holy Empire doesn't even put the World Government in its eyes; how would they care about us?"
Commander Karasu's anger was hard to quell: "But what about our dead comrades?"
"Hee haw, Karasu, calm down..." Ivankov smoothed things over and proposed: "How about we cooperate with the Holy Empire?"
Karasu's expression became even lower.
Wanted to refute.
But also understood it was the best strategy.
Dragon said frankly: "Dragons do not associate with insects. I estimate they haven't even heard of the Revolutionary Army."
This sentence.
Made the cadres want to cry.
Worked so hard, is the Revolutionary Army really this trash?
But indeed have to admit.
At least the current World Government doesn't take them seriously, proving they are currently less threatening than a top pirate group.
At least need to develop for another ten years.
To make the World Government pay attention.
"Then we... why are we angry?"
A cadre asked weakly.
Making Dragon's eyelid twitch.
Although we are weak, we are not ants, forget it.
Indeed not qualified to be angry.
The most angry.
Were those kingdoms not yet attacked. Before the World Government replied, some kingdoms united.
"We must admit the Holy Empire is powerful; some strong people are not something we can contend with."
"But they underestimate our power too much. Many ants can bite an elephant to death."
"That mere ten thousand people, we can exhaust them to death with human wave tactics."
"The World Government is also trash. Paid so much Heavenly Tribute, but they don't even dare to send people."
"Unity is strength!"
"We must fight the Holy Empire to the end, overthrow the evil forces."
"..."
One Den Den Mushi after another showed the angry expressions of various kings.
Submit or die?
But they would rather die than give up wealth, power, status, etc.!
Once kneeling.
Future generations will all have to kneel.
Which king can accept this.
At this moment.
Inside the new Pangea Castle.
After discussion, the Four Elders finally set a strategy.
"Let them make trouble, make trouble to their heart's content."
"The greater the threat of the Holy Empire, the more the countries of the world will understand how benevolent our World Government is!"
"We only want a little Heavenly Tribute."
"The Holy Empire wants everything. I don't believe the kingdoms in other sea areas can accept it."
The Four Elders decided.
Even if the North Blue is completely occupied, they will absolutely not send troops.
Only painful lessons.
Can awaken the resistance of all countries in the world against the Empire!
Sacrificing a North Blue.
In exchange for the support of kingdoms in all sea areas, the Four Elders felt this strategy was perfect.
Just right.
Also take this opportunity.
To see the Empire's power.
North Blue.
Is not that easy to take down.
That is the strongest place in the Four Blues.
At the same time.
Initiated by General Captain of the Holy Soldier Unit, Konan.
A temporary small meeting of the Empire was held.
Grand Captains, Empire civil official representative Nara Shikaku, Secretary Robin, and the three Air Force Generals participated.
Doflamingo was also summoned.
After all, he is familiar with the North Blue.
Can save trouble.
"Fufufu... cough cough."
Entering the main hall, Doflamingo just smiled friendly, then held it back.
Doflamingo slapped himself. Look at what a solemn occasion this is; how can you laugh here.
Facing a group of Empire high-level officials, Doflamingo sat honestly in the corner.
Everyone didn't look much either.
Meeting started directly.
