077: Kill the Head of the Celestial Dragons, the Family Must Be Neat and Tidy, and the Five Elders Appear!
Boom...!
An almost tangible majestic Reiatsu emerged, buffeting Bai Ye's clothes.
After that, it seemed as if endless Reiatsu spread in all directions, descending upon the whole World Government of Mariejois.
"Plop! Plop! Plop!"
Visible to the naked eye, guards of the World Government who were rushing from various places were crushed to the ground by the overwhelming Reiatsu.
"What's happening!"
"Conqueror's Haki?!"
"Can someone's Conqueror's Haki be so powerful?"
Guards pointing various weapons at Bai Ye were almost collectively immobilized. Some suddenly coughed up blood; others died from not being able to bear the Reiatsu. Those who managed to remain conscious found it difficult to raise their heads and look around, but they witnessed an unforgettable scene of incomparable fear and trembling. The World Government had never been invaded by anyone. Yet there was that man, alone, with just the release of his unprecedented 'Conqueror's' Haki, causing the entire Mariejois building to tremble faintly.
Not only that, a large number of cracks visible to the naked eye began to emerge from near the man's feet and continued to spread uncontrollably. The Red Line's extremely hard surface started to show one huge crack after another, causing collapse everywhere. Could it be that the world, the World Government, was really about to be destroyed?
Witnessing this scene, the guards of the World Government couldn't help but collectively show fear. They couldn't imagine what they were seeing. What kind of terrifying monstrosity was this man?
His 'Conqueror's' Haki alone was shaking Mariejois.
"Bastard! This is the World Government! Any sinner who dares to invade the World Government is unforgivable!"
Not far away, a significant number of members of the CPO organization sprang into action. However, upon feeling the immensely horrific Reiatsu, most of the CPO members ended up the same as the guards, their bodies firmly pressed to the ground by the terrifying force in the air that could even distort space. Only a few of the CPO chiefs could barely stand; they stared through their masks at the horrific scene unfolding outside the World Government. First, they felt shock in their hearts, followed quickly by a return to their senses.
It turned out that all of this horror outside was caused by just one man.
Several CPO officers suppressed their fear, gritted their teeth, and brazenly rushed towards Bai Ye.
"Shave!"
Using the Marine Six Styles, they moved with difficulty through the dense Reiatsu, aiming their Finger Pistols and Tempest Kicks at Bai Ye.
"Bastard! This is the World Government! It's not a place where sinners can run wild!" they roared. "Stop him! Go to hell!"
All of their attacks fell towards Bai Ye. However, Bai Ye simply looked up, Reiatsu intensifying even further, crushing their flying attacks.
Then Bai Ye raised his hand and with Ryūjin Jakka, wrapped in flames, he seemed to make a casual cut. The scorching heat instantly engulfed the region, including the five or six CP0 officers who had rushed towards him. They were immediately consumed by the flames, flesh and bones exposed, before turning into ashes and dissipating in mid-air.
"Monster!" some cried out, witnessing Bai Ye single-handedly kill five or six CPO officers, each at least as formidable as a Marine elite Vice Admiral.
The remaining World Government guards felt their hearts tremble.
Meanwhile, not far away, an extraordinary scene unfolded.
"Lord Rose Saint! This place is very dangerous, please retreat!"
"Are you joking? Retreat? The sinner who killed my son is here at Mariejois! And you expect me to leave? You are all trash, both the Marines and you!"
"Move aside!"
A blonde middle-aged Celestial Dragon sat on the kneel of a tall, muscular slave, holding the explosive collar chain around the slave's neck, looking extremely gloomy and angry. The CPO members tried to persuade him, but the Celestial Dragon interrupted them.
Then, he took out a whip and, beating the numb slave below him, shouted at the distant Bai Ye, "Damn sinner! You killed my son! I will never forgive you! You, your hometown, or any of your so-called relatives and plebeians shall become the most despicable slaves for generations..."
Before the Celestial Dragon could finish his tirade, the CPO member beside him changed his expression drastically.
The man who had invaded the World Government suddenly raised a finger from a distance. Bai Ye watched with indifference.
"Hadō no. 4: White Thunder!" he declared.
A blue-white thunderbolt flashed at his fingertips. Bai Ye hadn't expected that the Celestial Dragons on his must-kill list would come to him instead of him having to search for them. Naturally, the family should be sent off neatly.
"No, this is not good!" one of the guards exclaimed.
"Hurry up and protect Lord Rose Saint!" Another guard shouted as the pupils of the nearby CPO members shrank, and they hurriedly gathered together.
At that moment, the Patriarch of the Holy Family of Rose, who was seated on the slave, was taken aback, and then his expression changed.
"That man... is he insane? Does he want to attack me, a Saint?!"
The furious patriarch thought to himself. He was noble, a Celestial Dragon, and this lowly commoner dared to attack him!
The blue-white thunderbolt that had torn through the air was now reflecting in the patriarch's eyes and growing larger!
A CPO officer of Marine Vice Admiral strength might stand a moment against Bai Ye, but what of the ordinary CPO members? It engulfed the CPO members who had attempted to block its path, and then it mercilessly engulfed the patriarch sitting above the slaves!
By the time guards from the nearby World Government arrived, the charred corpse of a Celestial Dragon had fallen to the ground. The sight shocked everyone. A Celestial Dragon, dead? And not just any Celestial Dragon, but the head of a family?
The guards who had dared to arrive after the event were pale with fear. They were the force responsible for safeguarding the 'Holy Land' Mariejois and were absolutely loyal to the commands of the World Government. The Celestial Dragons of Mariejois were considered the "noblest" and "most untouchable." To the soldiers, each Celestial Dragon should be treated as a 'god'.
However, a Celestial Dragon of such 'privileged' class had died in front of them all.
The impact on the hearts of those present was profound. The guards quickly rallied.
"Kill him, we must kill him!" they shouted. "This sinner cannot be allowed to leave Mariejois alive! We can't bear the consequences of a Celestial Dragon's death."
The guards aimed their weapons at the distant man radiating a terrifying aura and pulled their triggers. Various attacks flew through the air, but as they entered the 'field' formed by Bai Ye's Reiatsu, they slowed as though stuck in a quagmire; bullets fell to the ground and swords were directly crushed.
Bai Ye, witnessing this scene, was utterly unfazed. He looked up as the five figures approaching from a distance each radiated a powerful aura. It was the Five Elders who apparently controlled the entire World Government.
The most fiery among them, a blond-haired, bearded Elder, trembled with anger.
"Scoundrel, to invade the World Government, this must be your last move!" he declared through gritted teeth.
"The most regretful move?" Bai Ye responded with disdain in his eyes. He had arranged for Rayleigh to witness the subversion of the world government from below, having asked him for a 'small' favor beforehand.
Then Bai Ye, seeing the discolored faces of the Five Elders, calmly asked, "Besides you, where is Im?"
This name, unfamiliar to the outside world and to many in Mariejois, surprised the Five Elders momentarily before they collectively cried out in alarm, "Shut up, shut up!!!"
