Hearing Shanks's words, Luo Chen frowned.
To be honest, he wanted to kill Sengoku.
He didn't care about Tsuru.
But Sengoku, he desperately wanted to kill him.
Only, now there were four members of the God's Knights present.
Especially the commander, Figarland Shamrock, whose strength was likely no weaker than Red-Haired Shanks.
In the distance, the Red Hair Pirates' ship was also sailing over.
The God's Knights, Akainu, the Red Hair Pirates.
Luo Chen couldn't deal with such a combination of enemies at the moment.
Moreover, after a series of great battles and finally summoning two meteors, his stamina was almost completely depleted.
If he continued to fight, he had no chance of winning.
Luo Chen gave Sengoku one last look, turned the wood dragon, and flew into the distance.
'Today, let's end it here.'
After this battle, Sengoku would inevitably be disgraced.
Although the live broadcast Den Den Mushi had been knocked out by Conqueror's Haki the moment Shanks appeared, what had happened before was enough for Sengoku to be cursed by the world and leave a legacy of infamy.
He just didn't know how the World Government would deal with Sengoku.
If he didn't die, and there was a chance in the future, Luo Chen would definitely kill him. (PS: Sengoku will die in the next few chapters, just not killed by the protagonist)
"Please wait a moment," Red-Haired Shanks's voice called from behind.
Luo Chen looked back.
Shanks was looking at the wooden colossus in the distance.
To be precise, at the cage held by the colossus, which imprisoned the two Marine Admirals.
"Can you give me some face and release Aokiji and Kizaru?" Shanks asked.
Luo Chen was stunned, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What did you say? Release Aokiji and Kizaru?"
"Shanks, aren't you an Emperor, a pirate?"
"First you save Sengoku and Garp, and now you're asking me to release Marine Admirals. Don't you find that ridiculous?"
His words were filled with undisguised sarcasm.
Shanks's earlier action of saving Sengoku had already filled Luo Chen with suppressed anger.
If not for his lack of strength, he would have forcibly killed Sengoku, even if it meant going to war with the Red Hair Pirates and the God's Knights.
Now, he was swallowing his anger and preparing to leave.
And Shanks was pushing his luck, asking him to release Aokiji and Kizaru whom he had captured.
Truly worthy of being the "Face-Face Fruit user."
His skin was thicker than a meteor.
Luo Chen's gaze turned cold as he looked faintly at Red-Haired Shanks.
"You want them? Fine, come and take them yourself."
"Let's see how many of you Red Hair Pirates survive this battle."
Although he didn't have much stamina left, his recovery speed was fast.
He only needed to stall for a while to regain his combat strength.
Luo Chen's resolute attitude made Shanks frown slightly.
To be honest, with two Marine Admirals captured, the Marines would lose their deterrent power over the seas.
The balance between the various powers would be lost.
The seas would likely descend into chaos.
And the moment he was waiting for, the time to seize the great treasure ONE PIECE, had not yet arrived.
If the seas fell into chaos now, it would cause huge problems.
As for saving Sengoku and the others, that was a condition for a deal he had made with the Five Elders, who had contacted him on his way here.
Shanks hesitated.
'Should we go to war?'
Luo Chen's strength worried him.
The meteors he summoned were too massive and terrifying.
If he hadn't summoned the God's Knights stationed at Mary Geoise, they definitely wouldn't have been able to block it.
"You cannot take the Marine Admirals."
The masked Shamrock, commander of the God's Knights, took a step forward and said indifferently.
The three Knight members under him looked at Luo Chen, their eyes showing unconcealed threat.
Luo Chen's expression was icy, killing intent emerging in his eyes.
'If they want a war, then let's turn the world upside down.'
He had the Flying Thunder God and Kamui; there was no way he could be defeated and killed.
'Even if I have to drag it out, I'll drag Shanks and the God's Knights down to death.'
Just as the situation grew tense, the sound of crashing waves came from behind.
Whitebeard's Moby Dick sailed over from the rear.
He stood at the bow, holding Murakumogiri, and laughed, "Gurararara, still want to fight? If you want to fight, count me in."
This was clearly said to Luo Chen.
Seeing Luo Chen look over, Whitebeard said, "Thanks to your help in this battle, we were able to save Ace."
"Just now, you also helped me deal with Teach and Akainu."
"If you need any help, just say the word."
On the Moby Dick, Marco, Jozu, Vista, and the other commanders stared coldly at the Marines and God's Knights on the monster.
Behind them, tens of thousands of pirates raised their arms and roared, their fighting spirit soaring.
As long as Luo Chen and Pops gave the order, they would definitely charge forward.
Everyone knew that if it weren't for Luo Chen, ninety-nine percent of them would have died at Marineford today.
The three Marine Admirals and one hundred thousand elites were enough to annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates' grand fleet.
Thanks to Luo Chen, they and their Pops could stand here safe and sound.
In the sky, a giant wooden ship slowly flew over.
Enel's voice came down: "We won't be absent either."
He stood at the bow, flanked by Douglas Bullet, Shiryu of the Rain, Byrnndi World, and several other great pirates.
This was a force comparable to two Emperor crews, causing the expressions of Red-Haired Shanks and the God's Knights to change slightly.
If Whitebeard intervened, it would be equivalent to fighting two Emperor crews.
Even if they could win, they would pay a heavy price.
Especially Shanks; his pirates, unlike the God's Knights, were not immortal.
If they went to war with Luo Chen and Whitebeard, the casualties would definitely be tragic.
On the sea, the winds surged, and the situation grew tense.
War was on the verge of breaking out.
Shanks and the God's Knights were both weighing the options.
Was it worth it to go to war with Luo Chen and Whitebeard at this moment?
"Buru Buru Buru..."
A sound came from within the masked Shamrock's clothes.
He took a Den Den Mushi from his pocket.
The Den Den Mushi projected the image of an old man with a white beard and hair.
"Let me talk to Luo Chen."
The old man's powerful and deep voice came from the Den Den Mushi.
Shamrock tossed the Den Den Mushi over.
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, controlling the trees to catch it and place it in front of him.
"You are?"
"Five Elders, Jaygarcia Saturn," the old man said indifferently.
The corner of Luo Chen's mouth twitched.
'Isn't this the Five Elder who gets executed first by Imu in the original story?'
"Let's make a deal. What are your terms to release Aokiji and Kizaru," Saint Saturn said.
"Release them, so they can continue to hunt me down?" Luo Chen sneered.
"If you don't release them, you will absolutely not be leaving today," Saturn's voice turned cold. "Do not force us to descend personally."
Luo Chen's eyes flickered.
The Five Elders, like the God's Knights, could descend remotely through the pentagram formation.
His original intention was to take Aokiji and Kizaru away.
At that time, whether he recruited them or killed them and controlled them with the Impure World Reincarnation technique would be up to him.
But the Five Elders' attitude was very firm.
There was no way they would let him take the two Marine Admirals.
'If another Five Elder comes...' Luo Chen's heart sank.
To be honest, he couldn't face so many powerful enemies right now.
The strength of the Five Elders should all be at the Admiral or Emperor level.
Counting Shamrock, Red-Haired Shanks, Shanks's vice-captain Beckman, Akainu, and Sengoku... that was a total of ten Admiral/Emperor-level powerhouses.
Even at his peak, he couldn't defeat them.
Not to mention his stamina was completely drained now.
Luo Chen pondered what conditions to propose.
'Money, that's for sure. But if I ask for too much, will the Five Elders suspect something?'
