Chapter 218 The era has gone berserk!
Let's return to the first half of the Grand Line, Paradise.
After defeating Crocodile's Straw Hat crew in Alabasta, they committed another serious crime.
……
Known as the "Island That Never Sleeps," Enies Lobby, one of the three major agencies under the World Government, has suffered its most rampant attack since its establishment.
In order to rescue Nico Robin, the Devil Child, who was being held captive by the World Government, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Franky Family, among others, brazenly attacked the Enies Lobby and openly burned down the World Government's flag!
This act was seen as a provocation against world authority, second only in severity to that of a certain dragon hunter in the past.
Monkey D. Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates who defeated CP9 and successfully escaped, saw his bounty soar from 100 million to 300 million, making him the pirate with the fastest bounty increase in recent years.

Mary Geoise Between Powers.
The Five Elders looked at the bounty offered by the Straw Hat Boy.
"The son of the revolutionary Long, and also a member of the D clan..."
"Spandam is a piece of trash. Even leading CP9's elites, he couldn't take down this group."
"After all, they defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea. If Lucci were here, he could definitely take them down!"
"Forget it... let's raise his bounty to 300 million first, and deal with them when Big Bear arrives."
"Lucci is still in the New World... What's that person's whereabouts?"
Compared to the situation in the New World, even the attack on Enies Lobby seemed like a minor matter.
……
"Uchiha Allen has made it clear that he will participate in the war."
"Very good! Get ready, we're going to announce to the world the public execution of Portgas D. Ace!"
……
Juro Sei, sword in hand, pondered: "Gentlemen, our plan is for Uchiha Allen and Whitebeard to fight, and for us to attack when they are both severely injured. Is there any possibility...?"
"What if they team up?"
"His relationship with Whitebeard is not only common knowledge, but also an open secret..."
……
"Why not?"
Vochuri said coldly, "It's not that we lack the ability to eliminate Uchiha Allen; the most troublesome thing is his reputation in the Navy."
"Just like with Garp back then, forcibly attacking Garp could have resulted in us losing the Navy's strongest weapon, so we held back."
"What if he dares to openly team up with Whitebeard..."
He gave a cold laugh: "Those foolish marines will see his true colors, and then we'll have a reason to surround and annihilate Uchiha Allen."
"With the combined forces of the Marine Headquarters and the Knights of God, what's there to fear about them joining forces?"
"The best outcome... after subduing Uchiha Allen, both the pirates and the navy suffered heavy losses, which is very beneficial to the balance of power."
……
"Subdue...Saint Vochuli, but don't annihilate him?"
Vochuri shook his head: "I still stand by my original opinion, Uchiha Allen cannot be killed."
"We've almost finished researching the mysteries of the Sharingan... but aren't you tempted by the existence of that golden tree?"
"The combat power that thing displayed was practically comparable to the Hades warship of yesteryear!"
……
"Indeed... although it has limitations compared to Hades, trees... have the potential to grow."
"The intelligence department speculates that it may be a relic of the Uchiha clan, which he planted after he had gained a certain level of strength."
Even without considering these factors...
Vochuli Saint glanced at everyone and said calmly, "That's the strongest fighter under thirty!"
"Lord Im is rebuilding the contract, specifically for him."
"Then take him to Mary Geoise..."
……
"Since it's Lord Im's wish, then let's do it that way."
"agree."
Just as the five were discussing the details, a request for instructions came from outside the meeting room.
"My Lords, Figarando Shanks requests an audience."
……
After a brief silence,
"Please come in."

Bang——! !
In Marineford, the desk in the Marshal's office has been frequently subjected to violent blows lately, and Sengoku's mental state is worrying.
"Here we go again!! Is this never going to end?!"
The roar formed a tangible sound wave, causing Garp's wrinkled face to tremble violently.
There were quite a few people in the office at that time.
Vice Admiral Tsuru, Gion, and Dol sat together, with Garp and Kuzan opposite them.
Kizaru stood cautiously in the corner, further back, not daring to face the Fleet Admiral's wrath.
Picking up a stack of bounty posters, Sengoku's eyes were bloodshot. He hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past two weeks, and his voice was very hoarse.
"They've already done something like bombarding Enies Lobby... are they going to attack Marine Headquarters next?!"
"What a fine grandson you've raised, Garp!!"
……
Garp scratched his head in distress and said with an apologetic smile, "Um... it's not that serious, is it? Sengoku, you look terrifying..."
"You're still laughing!! How can you still laugh!! Cry!!!"
"And you!!"
Sengoku angrily pointed at Aokiji: "If you'd run into Nico Robin, would this have happened if you'd locked them up earlier?! What were you doing, wandering around on that beat-up bicycle?!"
"You were told to go to the first half of the amusement park, but were you really just there to have fun?!"
Aokiji shrank back: "I stopped taking action because you said you were going back to guard the area..."
"Is it my fault?!"
"It's my fault for being so stupid. I never imagined that a high-ranking admiral, the Navy's strongest force, couldn't even handle a small pirate crew!!!"
……
"Why are you hiding?!"
After berating Aokiji, Sengoku turned to Kizaru: "I told you to keep an eye on Linlin, and you let her go and attack the Marine branch? What were you doing?!"
Kizaru timidly raised his hand: "Um... the Five Elders said that if there's anything going on at the research lab, I can go there first. I can show you my attendance record."
Zhan Guo couldn't breathe properly, and his face turned blue and purple.
His hand trembled for a long time as he pointed at Kizaru: "Good...good...good..."

Vice Admiral Tsuru silently walked up, placed his hand on Sengoku's shoulder, and activated his Devil Fruit ability.
A gentle light spread out, and Sengoku's anger visibly subsided somewhat. Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke slowly:
"You haven't been getting enough rest lately, which is affecting your judgment."
"What kind of behavior is it for a marshal to be cursing and swearing like that?"
With a long sigh, Sengoku sat down again and looked around.
"Where's Sakazuki?"
……
Kizaru took a step forward.
"He told me... he was going to meet up with Allen first, and then they would come to headquarters together."
Are you kidding me...?
Allen's base was the furthest from headquarters, so there was no way it was on the way.
-
-
A new world, uncharted waters.
A giant silver-white ship led three massive warships as they cut through the waves.
On the deck, Allen leaned back in a deckchair as a petite personal assistant handed him a glass of bright red juice.
The moment it was received, frost covered the glass, and a chilled drink was ready.
……
The combatants were mostly on the warships at the rear, while the White Wolf had a majority of crew members who were engaged in daily life, such as cooks, musicians, and bartenders.
Hmm... there's also a general clerk, Colonel Shiryu, who is in charge of the ship's sanitation and also serves as the helmsman.
Shiryu, holding up his binoculars and steering the ship, said, "There's a ship approaching from four nautical miles ahead, with a pirate skull flag flying from its mast."
Allen squinted but didn't get up: "Fire and kill them."
After a few seconds of pause, Shiryu shook his head.
"I'm afraid that won't work. Standing at the bow is... Admiral Sakazuki!"
……
As Allen sat up straight, he saw the pirate ship in the distance explode with a roar, and a figure rushed out of the sea of fire and landed on the deck in an instant.
A dark red suit with a rose on the chest.
Admiral Akainu, the highest-ranking combatant of the Marine Headquarters!
……
"Long time no see, Admiral Sakazuki," Allen greeted with a smile.
Akainu remained expressionless and spoke in a deep voice.
"Go back, don't go to headquarters."
Allen shook his head: "What if I don't listen?"
tick...
tick...
Blackish-red lava dripped onto the deck, sending up wisps of blue smoke.
Akainu slowly raised his fist and unleashed a fierce attack!
"The times cannot go out of control. I will stop you, Allen!"
……
Allen drew his sword to meet the attack, a smug smile spreading across his face.
"He's gone berserk! Sakazuki!!"
boom!!!!!!
The moment they touched, the sea split in two.
One side is boiling, the other is freezing.
