Chapter 24 The Battle of Fiore is Completely Over! Choosing to Redeem the Celestial Dragons? Sengoku
The explosions lasted for a long time before gradually subsiding.
wow~
wow~
The waterspout finally fell, and the deep pit beneath the sea began to be replenished with seawater.
huh~
huh~
Two figures appeared, each standing in the sky, their auras both extremely weak.
Brian was panting heavily, with a large wound on his chest.
Inside the wounds, there is a heart and other organs that are still beating.
The state of life being returned to its rightful owner is long gone.
At this point, he could only rely on his body's instincts to recover, and the recovery process was much slower than before.
However, a large amount of granulation tissue still rapidly formed around his wound, continuously shrinking it.
In contrast, the situation during the Warring States period was somewhat more complicated.
Half of his hair was gray, and there were some wrinkles on his face.
Despite Brian's constant use of the term "old man from the Warring States period," he was only 30 years old at the time.
Their strength is still rapidly increasing and they haven't reached their true peak yet.
This listless state is enough to prove how frantically he had compressed his potential and lifespan in the previous battle.
Otherwise, such an outrageous situation wouldn't have occurred.
Even if the Warring States period were to recover, the lost lifespan would be irreversible.
In fact, this exploitation could force him to fall back a level from his previous peak.
The chest also shows a large, clearly visible wound that is slowly healing, with organs visible.
"Ha, ha~"
"I have failed."
Looking at his own hands, Sengoku felt utterly hopeless; it was time to give up.
Its body couldn't hold on any longer and it started to fall.
Just as they were about to fall into the sea, a figure flashed by, took Sengoku away, and landed him on another ship.
"Vice Admiral Sengoku, Vice Admiral Sengoku, are you alright?"
The tall man in combat gear shook Sengoku, afraid he might actually fall off.
Then their Kingdom of Fiore would truly be unable to explain themselves to the Marine Headquarters or even the World Government.
Yes, the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Fiore have arrived.
The man who saved Sengoku was Fiore Caesar, the great general of the Kingdom of Fiore.
He was a powerful general in his early stages and the strongest person in the country.
Previously, King Fiore had received a request for help from the Warring States, although he was reluctant to send troops to his aid.
Especially when I thought about saving that Celestial Dragon, I didn't want to anymore.
Unfortunately, even as a king, he could not completely disregard the safety of his country.
Left with no other choice, they dispatched their general and several other powerful individuals to arrive as quickly as possible.
The deployment of three large warships is quite a grand spectacle.
"Cough cough, pfft~"
"It's alright, please help me up."
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Zhan Guo looked much better.
After standing up, he looked at Brian, who was still standing in the air opposite him, and whose injuries were healing.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, "Time waits for no one."
He's only thirty, yet he keeps getting humiliated by Brian, who's clearly much younger than him. The world is changing too fast.
These thoughts flashed by in an instant. Zhan Guo composed himself and then asked the question.
"May I leave my name?"
"Brian of the Beasts, a high-ranking officer of the Rocks Pirates."
"Brian the Beasts? I'll remember you."
The Warring States period said, "I don't just remember you, I'll never forget you."
This was a name I had never heard of before.
But Sengoku believed that this name would spread throughout the world after this day.
Such terrifying combat power appearing out of nowhere is from a high-ranking officer in the Rocks Pirates, a great pirate crew that thrives on chaos.
It's estimated that the current Marshal, Steelbone Kong, won't be able to sleep well at night after this.
"Our navy has lost this war, and I concede defeat."
In short, this truly marked the complete end of the Battle of Fiore.
However, the matter is not completely over yet.
"But you also know that the Celestial Dragon you captured is a descendant of the Five Elders, Saint Satan."
"The World Government will not allow anyone to lay a hand on the Celestial Dragons, and our Navy will not let the Rocks Pirates get away with it."
"If you've got the guts, then come at me!"
"We, the Rocks Pirates, have never been afraid of anyone. A Celestial Dragon is nothing to scare you, old man. Hehehehe."
Golden Lion appeared beside Brian, directly refuting Sengoku's statement.
"Since you didn't kill Naya Saint directly, it means you must have some ulterior motive."
"State your conditions, and I will report to the World Government on your behalf."
The worst has happened; whatever happens afterward is good news.
The Warring States period could only console itself, but it had no real confidence.
He couldn't be sure how much money Lox was making from the Naya Holy Society; he was a madman.
Unfortunately, the situation was dire; the Celestial Dragons were in the enemy's hands, so there was always room for negotiation.
Sengoku also believed that the World Government would agree to his actions, as long as he could save the Celestial Dragon's life.
The difference in consequences between a Celestial Dragon being captured and then ransomed and a Celestial Dragon being killed outright is enormous.
Of course, all of this is built upon Naya Saint's profound background.
If he were just an ordinary Celestial Dragon, the World Government might not care about him.
After redeeming the Celestial Dragons, the World Government has countless ways to downplay the incident and erase it from history.
With the media in their hands, they can turn the dead into the living; it's not a big problem.
Then, they can find another excuse, using the Celestial Dragons as a pretext, to purge the Grand Line, thus preserving the Celestial Dragons' authority.
"Hehehe, this is the first time your navy has been so honest in negotiating with us, isn't it?"
"As expected, the Celestial Dragons are damn useful. I should have taken action against them earlier."
Golden Lion casually remarked that there had never been such good conditions before, enough to capture a top-tier Celestial Dragon alive.
Under normal circumstances, the Celestial Dragons only operate in the first half of the Grand Line, which is the territory of the Navy and the World Government.
At most, we'll go to the Sabaody Archipelago; we won't encounter any major dangers.
This time, it was all thanks to Naya Saint's own crazy idea of running to the New World that we happened to run into each other; it was all such a coincidence.
After this, the only way to get hold of the Celestial Dragons again is for them to voluntarily travel to the first half of the Grand Line.
"Enough with the nonsense, state your terms, and I must return to report."
"No rush, no rush. After all, they are Celestial Dragons. We still need to report back to Captain Rocks."
"Hehehe, you navy guys can wait for further instructions. This time the harvest is truly enormous."
Golden Lion knew that he had to discuss this matter with Rocks and see what he thought.
He's the captain, after all; he can't be kept in the dark.
Besides, with Rocks holding off the World Government's pressure, things are much easier for them.
huh~
"Take this Den Den Mushi and wait for our notification."
"That's it, get out of here, hehehehe."
Golden Lion glanced at Brian beside him and, seeing that he had no objections,...
With a wave of his hand, he tossed a Den Den Mushi to Sengoku.
He and Brian returned to the pirate ship, and the ship took off.
Under the watchful eyes of Sengoku and the others, the pirate ship, carrying a large amount of treasure and Celestial Dragons, left the area.
