Chapter 27 Dragon Hunter
A piercing alarm shattered the night sky, and red warning lights flashed rapidly in corridors and streets.
"Attention all Marines! Assassination attempt on a Celestial Dragon confirmed! Immediately go on high alert, seal off all Red Ports, and increase patrols!"
"Any suspicious persons discovered must be detained immediately without prior authorization!"
The broadcast echoed in the howling sea wind, making everyone who heard it realize...
The balance of the world seems to have cracked at this moment.
……
……
Two weeks ago, Fleet Admiral Kong was officially promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and Sengoku the Buddha succeeded him as Fleet Admiral.
Having just taken office and barely settled into his position as marshal, such a serious situation occurred, causing Sengoku to frown deeply.
Peng——
The office door was violently kicked open.
There's only one person at Navy Headquarters capable of doing something like this.
Wearing a Dalmatian-themed pajama set, Karp, still half-asleep, with a large plush pillow in his arms, exclaimed, "So noisy!"
"It's just some Celestial Dragon trash being attacked, what's the big deal? Why are you making such a fuss? I was just falling asleep!"
……
"There must be a reason why Sengoku did this. Wake up, Garp."
Lieutenant General Tsuru had already changed into his military uniform and pushed past Kap into the office.
Sengoku's face was solemn as he spoke in a deep voice: "It's not as simple as just being attacked... The Holy Land has confirmed that Shepard Losolo Saint has been murdered."
"What we can confirm now is that the incident occurred in a non-magnetic area of the South China Sea. I have already sent Borsalino there first."
"Garp, you should get ready to go too."
Garp's sleepy eyes cleared a bit, but he still shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that Borsalino has already gone, so there's no point in me going."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and pursed his lips.
"Tsk, not bad, you unknown brat."
Boom! !
Zhan Guo slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Don't say what's on your mind!!"
Taking a deep breath, Sengoku stared at Garp: "Do you know why I called you here...?"
"Based on current intelligence, the Holy Land suspects that the Revolutionary Army was behind it—the Revolutionary Army led by your bastard son!!"
……
……
Garp has finally come to his senses.
"Warring States period...explain it more clearly."
Sengoku sighed helplessly and explained the situation of Rossolo's pursuit of Ginny to the lower world, combined with the intelligence sent back by the World Government's spies within the Revolutionary Army.
It is now almost certain that it was Bartholomew Kuma of the Revolutionary Army who made the move.
There are very few powerful individuals who appear out of nowhere.
Batirami is a CP0 member, and there's also a team of CP members. There aren't many people who could kill Lothorlo with such a powerful guard.
"Is there actually a World Government mole in that kid's team?"
Karp made sure to hear that sentence.
Bang!
Zhan Guo slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Watch your language! That's called an inside man! An undercover agent!"
"It's impossible for such a large organization to be completely free of infiltration," Vice Admiral Tsuru said calmly. "There are definitely Revolutionary Army and pirate spies within our Navy or the World Government."
……
"The Five Elders are very concerned about this matter and have ordered us to eliminate the impact of this incident within three days." Sengoku did not continue the topic of infiltration.
Karp frowned, realizing something was amiss.
"Given their track record, shouldn't their first instinct be to suppress the news when something like this happens? How come everyone knows about it, and they still let you report it directly to Marine Headquarters?"
He knows the Celestial Dragons too well. In the past, whenever a Celestial Dragon was attacked, he would launch an indiscriminate and devastating attack on the affected area to eliminate anything or anyone that posed a threat to the World Government.
In other words, the so-called... Buster Call!
Sengoku shook his head: "Because... it can't be hidden anymore."
He moved his seat, an image projected by a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scoop).
The scene depicts a magnificent ship ablaze, with the flag representing the Celestial Dragons fluttering in the wind.
Sengoku gritted his teeth and said, "The guy who attacked the Celestial Dragons... activated a Den Den Mushi for simultaneous broadcasting!"
"That bastard, he actually dared to stay where he was!!!"

In the South China Sea, burning ships illuminate the night sky.
This is absolutely a celebration for journalists.
Morgans, one of the emperors of the underworld and president of the World Economic News Agency, is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user with the Bird-Bird Fruit and the Albatross Form.
He always appears in the form of an albatross beastman. Although he is a Bird-Bird Fruit user, he cannot fly. He squats on the mast with his subordinates, and the Den Den Mushi in his hand keeps flashing.
"President... is this something we should really report?"
"The world government will definitely retaliate against us, this is too..."
"Breaking news! This is huge news!!"
Morgans' beak opened and closed rapidly, emitting a quacking voice: "If journalists shrink back from big news... then what's the point of our lives?!"
……
It was Kuma who contacted him through the Revolutionary Army's channels, saying he was going to broadcast a major news story that would shake the world.
After learning about the cause and general course of the incident, Morgans accepted the invitation without hesitation.
Before setting off, he had already dispersed the headquarters, taking into account the threat posed by the World Government.
"The World Economic News isn't the mouthpiece of the world government; we operate to report on major events!!"
"Can a mere threat to our lives stop us?!"
"President!!!"
"So cool!! The president is awesome!!!"
"I will follow the president for life!!"

call out----
A dazzling beam of light pierced the night sky.
After resolving the Sun Pirates incident, Borsalino, who was promoted to Admiral at the same time as Sengoku was promoted to Fleet Admiral, arrived.
Admiral Kizaru, the World Government's top combatant!
……
"Troublesome things just keep coming one after another..."
Kizaru paused in mid-air, the burning flames dancing on his sunglasses.
"What does this madman who dared to kill a Celestial Dragon look like?"
When he saw the scene on the deck, he gasped.
The corpses of CP members were scattered about, their dark red bloodstains glowing red from the flames.
The headless corpse, dressed in the Celestial Dragons' exclusive attire, stung the eyes; a white-haired, blood-eyed youth held the head in his hand.
The flames spreading from his palm waited until Kizaru appeared before igniting his head.
He raised his head, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"You've finally arrived, Kizaru... I should call you Admiral now."
zizi——
Kizaru raised his hand, his fingers flashing with light: "What a terrifying fellow... He committed such a heinous crime and didn't run away, he was actually waiting for me?"
The white-haired youth flicked the charred head away and said slowly, "I have something to tell you, or more precisely, something to tell the World Government."
"That kind of thing...we'll talk about it after you survive."
……
Regardless of Kizaru's stance, he knew that everything happening now was being broadcast live, so how could he say anything more to the madman who killed a Celestial Dragon?
The Eight-Foot Magatama!!
Countless dazzling light bullets rained down like a storm, emitting a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air!
The sea surface was illuminated by the light as if it were daytime. The sturdy hull was no different from a piece of paper under the attack of the light bullets, and was pierced one after another. Wood chips and metal fragments were scattered in all directions in the shock wave.
The horrific attack triggered a tsunami, causing Morgans' ship to shake violently!
"Is this the strength of the World Government's top fighting force... a monster admiral?!"
The white-haired youth still wore a faint smile on his face, even as his body was being gradually swallowed up by the destructive rain.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
The light blasts stopped, and the wrecked ship, still burning, floated on the sea, a scene of utter devastation.
……
"Still too naive... Facing the World Government head-on is indeed impressive, but those are Admirals..."
"A news story that started strong but ended weakly." Morgans shook his head helplessly, just about to send someone home to schedule the news broadcast...
"Wait, President! Look over there!!"
Above the sea.
As if drawn by some unseen force, the colorless fragments and the unknown black liquid intertwined and clung to each other like tentacles.
next moment.
The white-haired youth, who had been pulverized, stood unharmed on the broken mast.
His crimson eyes stared at Kizaru, and a slow, smirking smile spread across his face.
"This power was gained by sacrificing my wings; I am invincible."
"Kizaru, tell those people in the sky that my revenge against them has begun..."
My name is Hunting.
"The one who hunts the Celestial Dragons!"
Bear!!!!
Blazing flames erupted from his body, coalescing into a dragon that charged toward Kizaru in mid-air.
……
It's not very strong, but it's still best to avoid it.
Kizaru's elemental form was pierced by a fire dragon, and he was about to make his next move...
The man who had just uttered those boastful words turned around, plunged into the sea, and disappeared.
A bead of cold sweat slid down Kizaru's forehead.
What happened...?
Being able to come back to life is one thing, it's not like they don't have such a Devil Fruit ability. Being able to set fires is another, but it's a combination of abilities...
but……
Is that action of going into the sea for real?!
It even instantly escaped the range of my Observation Haki!
This guy...
Is it a ghost?!
