Chapter 210

When it came to the old Commander-in-Chief, Kong's gaze darkened and he shook his head grimly.

“Shebek killed him just a few days before the events in the Valley of the Gods. Another reason why he had to be stopped then. If not for that wound, it would be impossible to defeat this pirate. Who knows who would then become the Pirate King ...

Akainu grimaced and gritted his teeth and said menacingly:

- This bunch of bastards on Barasau, if we mustered all our strength, we would definitely be able to kill a bunch of pirates and clean up this dirt. Now there are half the rabble from all over the Grand Line.

Kong said nothing, he only raised his head to the Gorosei. The old people still remained silent. In any case, everything depended on their decision.

The bald old man ran his hand over his blade and finally said:

- The death of D. in our ranks was a surprise. The power of the Sea Devil is something unimaginable. It is not at all clear why he is growing so rapidly in power. But one thing is clear - if we cannot stop him in the near future, then after the battle with Kaido, this pirate will become even stronger. Then, he will reach the hidden lands and find this "One Piece" - with a contemptuous smile, the old man continued: - It makes no sense to intervene now, the death of a "bunch of pirates" will not change anything. Only those who carry the will of "Dee" pose a threat. Most dangerous is James D. More. He is the main target!

Kong nodded grimly.

- I gathered all my strength, even the candidates for the post of Admiral are ready and Vegapunk finished his project. We have enough people to defeat the entire Blood Star team, the only question is the Sea Devil himself. Apparently, he will be able to defeat even Kaido on his own.

At that moment, the youngest of the Goroseev stood up and spoke:

- Everyone knows Kaido's character. It won't be easy to get involved in the battle, but I'm ready to go myself. If you two attack, I can deliver the killing blow to him.

“A waste,” said the old man with a cane. “We are only strong together. With you they will win, but if you spend your strength, they cannot be replenished, you yourself should understand, look at Lay. After his zeal in the Joy Boy affair, he is almost dead.

Lay rubbed his katana and nodded.

“Tsuchi is right, even if you manage to finish off this pirate, it can be costly. Apparently, the Sea Devil may already be stronger than Shebek in his best years and perhaps not weaker than Joy Boy. We all remember that fight, I sacrificed almost half of my strength.

- Exactly, - the bald old man menacingly intervened: - We don't need a second Joy Boy here, we have to do something ourselves, otherwise in the end we will have to go out again and spend our strength. Only this time the minority will clearly survive. Chue has to go, he has saved the most energy. If you spend a part, the maximum will become as old as we are, not a great waste for the sake of a common cause.

Lay furrowed his eyebrows and replied thoughtfully:

`` We'll discuss this later, but for now ... '' Returning his cold gaze to Kong, the old man continued:

- Gather your strength, you will be on the front line and if anything, you can hold Kaido, but this is a last resort. More ... - fixing his gaze to the window, the old man called loudly: - Aegis.

At the same moment, time seemed to freeze everywhere and a strange force swept through everyone in the hall, from which the bodies became heavy, and the reaction became dull. The Gorosei didn't seem to notice anything, but Kong and Sakazuki stared away in amazement. They clearly made out a barely distinguishable silhouette, he was moving so fast that it was amazing, he seemed to teleport! The bodies of both men were subjected to invisible pressure, as were the thoughts in the mind. Just a moment, and someone named Aegis appeared a stone's throw from Kong and bowed slightly to the elders. Without words, he just stood aside and didn't make another sound. It was also surprising that no spirit at all spread from this person, even by the will of observation it was difficult to feel it. It was impressive ... Yes, and no one saw his face, since everything was hidden by a hood and a black cloak. Therefore, it was difficult to say whether it was a man or a woman. But, one thing was clear, this creature is very strong, whoever he was!

Kong spoke immediately:

- I thought you died girl, that's the news ...

The answer was only silence. But Kong didn't get angry, he just let out a chuckle.

- However, I'm not surprised. But your mother is dead, I suppose she decided to take revenge?

At that moment, the calm voice of the oldest of the Gorosei was heard:

- You will have time to discuss the plan of attack, this operation is on you. You can be free if something changes - we will call you.

Kong nodded curtly and with one last glance at the cloaked woman, he simply walked away, followed by Sakazuki and Aegis.

When the hall was free of unnecessary people, Lei turned to Shue and asked:

- Nobody should know about your interference. The Silver Ax is still alive and has the power to anticipate a sudden step. Im-sama's influence may hide his ability here, but that doesn't mean he won't be able to sense you after you walk out of here. As long as Tenrjubito is alive, we are able to exist, but if you leave the land of Dragons and die, it will be the final death, even the owner will not save you.

Chue nodded grimly.

- I know, together we are invincible, but I want to remind you - the Sea Devil will surely get to the second half of the Holy Land. With his ambitions, even if the prophecy is not fulfilled, he will surely collect the remaining weapons and commit another madness. Even if not, he is very strong and so young. What will happen in ten years? I'm afraid even the five of us won't be able to beat him.

Fon, who had been silent for a long time, finally gave his word:

- The dragon will definitely attack, he will not sit back while the forces of the Marines go to war against Kaido and James D. More. We don't know its strength at all. Chue, if you leave and we have to act ... I'm afraid one of us will completely disappear. As a result, the Master will lose part of the key, and we cannot afford it!

Tsuchi tapped his cane again and said menacingly:

- Enough. It is already clear that the Sea Devil must die long before arriving in the Holy Land. We'll leave Vegapanka and Sakazuki on Dragon, they have to handle it. Turning to Lay, Tsuchi nodded. “Attack at a critical moment, and try to kill him with one perfect attack. Don't waste a lot of energy, you have to come back. If one of us falls, it doesn't matter, the powers of the owner are immeasurable, one day he will remove the seal and nothing will stop him. He will definitely return us as long as our souls are alive!

At this meeting the Goroseevs finally ended. No one remembered the loss of Jack and did not attach any importance to the wedding of the Sea Devil. The oldest servants of the ruler of the world again decided to intervene themselves. The meeting of the kings and the purge plan had to be postponed due to similar circumstances.
