Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Laws, Secrets, and Power Dynamics

"What is history?" Imu calmly looked at Saul. "History is what happened in the past. Forbidden history is what you cannot or do not want others to know about past events."

"If we consider the World Government as a person, these things would belong to the secrets that they do not want others to know and that they have made it clear that they do not want to be discovered."

Saul was stunned after hearing this. Then he heard Imu ask him: "Do you have a secret that you don't want others to know?"

"If so, how do you feel when someone is still trying their best to find out the secret even though you clearly told the other person that you don't want your secret to be discovered?"

"This..." Saul was speechless at the question.

"This is from a person's perspective. But from a legal point of view, investigating the Poneglyphs is strictly prohibited by the World Government. Wouldn't that be breaking the law?"

"But..."

"According to what I know, the World Government has issued three clear warnings to O'Hara's scholars, prohibiting them from continuing to explore and study Poneglyphs, but they are still doing it. Is this considered a violation of the law?"

Imu asked again.

"It is..." Saul responded with bitterness on his face.

"You are a giant from the Elbaf Kingdom. Does the Elbaf Kingdom have its own laws?"

"It has them..." Saul nodded with difficulty, and Kashi and Oimo behind him also nodded repeatedly. Then, Imu asked again: "So, in the Kingdom of Elbaf, wouldn't there be consequences and penalties for blatantly violating the law?"

"There would... There would be... If one does not obey the King, they will take him to a duel and cut off his head!" Oimo, seeing that Saul did not respond, answered out loud.

"So, Saul, do you now understand why they are capturing those scholars?" Imu asked at the end.

"Yeah..." Saul was left speechless. After hearing this Celestial Dragon's questions, he suddenly felt like the Ohara scholars were digging their own graves.

Kabane World

[Polu-Poruporu, Polu-Poruporu]

As Bullet prepared to occupy the Governor's Mansion after conquering the Station he had besieged, the Den-Den Mushi rang from his pocket, causing Bullet to impatiently take it out.

"Hello?!"

"This is Addison, Lieutenant General Bullet, you need to return to the base as soon as possible."

"What's up?"

Hearing Bullet's aggressive tone, Addison could only smile wryly and then explained.

"The Five Elders are preparing to hold a government meeting in a month. General Sakazuki would like to meet you and Lieutenant General Crocodile before that."

"Sakazuki...isn't that the candidate for navy admiral?" Bullet frowned. He had a feeling that what the other person said next would make him very angry.

So it was.

"During this period of time, Vice Admiral Sakazuki was transferred from the Navy to the Army and was promoted to General."

Bullet's breathing became heavy and rapid as he listened to Addison's explanation. There was a fury in his eyes that was terrifying like that of a demon.

"Does a Navy vice admiral become a general upon joining the Army?"

"Then why can't I, a lieutenant general in the army, be promoted to general?"

Bullet glared at the Den-Den Mushi. "I want to see what skills that red dog has to be my superior..."

"..." Addison was stunned. He didn't expect Bullet's reaction to be so big, and he also blatantly scolded General Sakazuki.

"Ahem, that's what happened anyway. You must return to the base in three days. General Sakazuki will come here to meet you two."

Once the explanation was finished, Addison directly cut off the communication. He didn't want to get involved in conflicts.

Bullet looked at the sleeping Den-Den Mushi and smiled evilly. "Hmph, I'll be there on time."

...

Two days later.

On the plains, an army of black-clad men riding armored motorcycles appeared. Quickly calculating, it seemed to be around a thousand people.

"Crocodile!" Suddenly, a scream rang out from ahead. In the distance Bullet appeared.

"This guy..." Crocodile narrowed his eyes and stopped the motorcycle.

These days, Biba was already getting used to Crocodile's 2.5 meter height, but upon seeing Bullet's massive size, which seemed to be over four meters, his pupils shrank in amazement.

"Except for Crocodile, the rest of the army should go back to the base!"

With Bullet's order, the nearly one thousand army soldiers behind Crocodile looked at each other, before retreating.

Crocodile paid no attention to the army's decision and simply looked at Bullet about two hundred meters away, with no expression on his face. "Aren't you leaving?"

Crocodile turned to the man who was still in his place, Amatori Biba.

"This is my first time here and I don't know the way. I'd better go back with you."

"Kuahahahaha!" Crocodile was amused, then he took out a cigar, lit it, and handed it to Biba. "Then smoke it and watch, so you'll learn something new in the meantime."

"Ok."

The next moment, Crocodile transformed into a sandstorm, advancing towards Bullet, who was rushing towards him from the opposite side.

[Boom!]

Two figures passed each other quickly, violently colliding with each other.

The two men's bodies shook, and their energy surged wildly, turning into layers of ripples visible to the naked eye and spreading in all directions.

"Stupid Crocodile!"

"I asked you to lead the men to attack Kongoukaku head-on, right?" Bullet said with an angry smile while wrestling with him.

"And what?"

Crocodile sneered. "You are a lieutenant general and so am I, do you think you have authority over me?"

"So, today we will see if I can exert authority over you!"

Bullet roared violently.

"Um?" Crocodile changed his expression, feeling the fierce force in Bullet's punch.

[Boom!]

The next second, Crocodile was launched into the sky, while Bullet showed no signs of stopping. He exerted strength under his feet. The next instant he chased after him.

[Boom! Boom! Boom!]

In the distance, Biba witnessed the most jaw-dropping and shocking scene in his life.

In the air, Crocodile and Bullet turned into afterimages and chased each other across the sky, having an intense and fierce battle. Every collision between the two would produce a deafening sound.

Bullet appeared above Crocodile's head in the blink of an eye.

"After all, your Haki is still weak!"

[Bang!]

With a loud bang, Crocodile fell to the ground, destroying all the ground in the impact area, and a large amount of smoke and dust rose into the sky...

[Boom!]

Bullet fell to the ground like a projectile, crushing the earth beneath him without slowing down.

The heavy footsteps echoed loudly on the now suddenly quiet plain.

At this moment Crocodile was half kneeling on the ground. He was quite disheveled, with one hand on his sore chest and crimson blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, he glared angrily at the approaching Bullet.

"Crocodile, I'm warning you!"

"Here in the army, I am the superior and you are the inferior. My words are supreme orders!"

Bullet made this oppressive statement looking at Crocodile, but Crocodile responded with a mocking and rebellious smile. "I see that your brain is packed with muscles!"

Only Crocodile understood the anger in his heart. Part of the object of his anger was directed at the arrogant Bullet in front of him, but most of it was directed at his own incompetence and weakness.

A few years ago, he could have easily dealt with this guy. It wouldn't have been a problem to defeat him or at least keep up.

"It seems that you still need to be beaten..."

Bullet's eyes flashed with dangerous coldness, and his body once again exuded a majestic momentum. Crocodile had also stood up, both of his arms quickly transformed into sand, and he stared at him as he prepared for any move.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Stop it yet!"

"Idiots!!"

An authoritative voice boomed like an explosion, as something fell onto the open space between the two sides like a meteorite.

[Boom!]

As if a massive explosion had occurred, a wave of hot red light swept in all directions.

Even Biba, who was watching from afar, was affected. He felt as if a wall was pushing him, and at the same time, a wave of hot, sulfurous wind hit him, causing a feeling of suffocation. "Who is this now?"

When the scorching heat passed, Biba finally saw the figure of the newcomer. He is a tall, strong man who seemed to be even taller than Crocodile, but a little shorter than Bullet. The most striking thing was the lava that flowed freely from his body, he did not look like a normal human.
