Chapter 832: The End of the World Nobles
In the corners of the conference hall, there were originally some black-suited security personnel, but none of these guards carried firearms.
When Aokiji and Zephyr led the new Marine forces charging in, these elite new Marines, personally trained by Zephyr, raised their guns and rushed forward, subduing the black-suited security personnel first.
“…Zephyr! You’re still alive!” The Five Elders all glared darkly at Admiral Zephyr among the crowd, clenching their fists in silent fury.
Zephyr spread his mechanical right arm, a mocking smile appearing on his face behind his sunglasses, and said, “Yeah, Five Elders, did I disappoint you?”
Zephyr no longer held any respect for the Five Elders, the highest power holders. When they had listed Edward Weevil as a Warlord of the Sea without seeking his consent, Zephyr had realized that he had lost his value in the eyes of the World Government…
“I dedicated my youth and my life to the Marines, but in the end, I can’t even compare to a pirate!?” How could Zephyr not feel disheartened?
“Fortunately, I still have my students…” Zephyr thought, glancing at Ain and Binz beside him. Even though they were once Marines themselves, at this moment, they stood by Zephyr’s side with unwavering eyes…
Georgia of the Five Elders sneered at Zephyr’s sarcasm, snorted, and ignored him, turning his gaze to Aokiji instead. “Aokiji… no, Kuzan, what do you think you’re doing, barging into the World Conference with so many people? Do you have any idea how serious the consequences of your actions are?”
Georgia drew everyone’s attention, but Gorba of the Five Elders quietly pressed a red button hidden beneath his desk.
This button was naturally set up to prevent special situations. When pressed, an alarm would immediately sound at Marine Headquarters in Marineford, and all Marine Admirals and Vice Admirals stationed there would lead a large force of Marines to Mary Geoise…
After pressing the button, Gorba remained expressionless but breathed a sigh of relief internally. He didn’t know how Aokiji and his group had infiltrated Mary Geoise so silently, but it no longer mattered. Once reinforcements from Marine Headquarters arrived, these rebels would be caught in one net.
Hearing Georgia’s question, Aokiji scratched his head and sat down in an empty seat nearby, maintaining his usual lazy demeanor, propping his long legs on the table. “I’m here because someone wanted to come. I’m just acting as an introducer…”
As he spoke, Zephyr, Ain, Binz, Smoker, Tashigi, and Kuina all stepped aside, revealing a group of people behind them wearing green cloaks.
These cloaked figures varied in height, and some even appeared to be children, puzzling everyone present at the meeting.
But at that moment, the leading tall figure suddenly spoke, “I said that one day, I would come here! Now it seems, this time is earlier than expected…”
As he spoke, the tall figure pulled back his hood.
The moment his face was revealed, a collective gasp echoed through the entire hall!
Wild black shoulder-length hair, a rebellious and confident stern face, and the scale-like red tattoo on his left cheek—who else could it be but the “World’s Most Wanted Criminal”?
“Re… Revolutionary Dragon!!!???”
The entire hall erupted in chaos. Almost all the kings and leaders present stood up from their seats in shock, while cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the Five Elders. They had never imagined that Revolutionary Dragon would appear here, and alongside Aokiji, Zephyr, and the new Marines!
The implications were clear…
“G… Guards! Capture him! Capture Revolutionary Dragon!!!” Some kings who viewed the Revolutionary Army as a scourge could no longer sit still, shouting and commanding their guards to act.
About twenty or thirty kings had their guards, who, though unarmed, gritted their teeth and charged toward Dragon’s position.
“Storm!!”
Facing the surging crowd, Dragon grinned, raised his hand, and waved. A fierce wind instantly materialized out of thin air, sweeping over the guards. These guards, weighing over a hundred kilograms, had no resistance and were easily blown away, crashing far into the distance. Many slammed into the opposite wall with a series of loud thuds.
The scene was a mess, but strangely, the conference tables near Dragon remained completely unaffected, as if the storm he summoned only targeted people.
Only those in the know understood the exquisite control of power Dragon displayed with this move…
“This welcome ceremony is quite unique!” Dragon smiled, slowly lowering his right hand, and walked toward the center of the hall. As he walked, he declared loudly to the kings present, “Don’t worry, I’m not here to take anyone’s head. I’m here to expose a lie!”
“A lie? What lie?” King Riku of Dressrosa asked calmly.
Dragon glanced at him and smiled slightly, while the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons suddenly realized something, their cold sweat intensifying.
“What lie? Of course, it’s a massive lie that has deceived the entire world for eight hundred years!” Dragon said.
Hearing this, the Five Elders could no longer contain themselves. Gorba slammed the table and shouted, “Shut up! You criminal! This is no place for you to speak!”
The Celestial Dragons went even further, instinctively drawing their guns and firing at Dragon!
Bang! Bang! Smoke rose as several bullets shot toward Dragon. But Dragon stood still. Just as the bullets were about to hit him, a powerful tornado suddenly swirled around his body. The bullets from the Celestial Dragons’ guns, upon contacting the tornado, were deflected by its force, spinning around Dragon instead.
Seeing that Dragon was unharmed, the foolish Celestial Dragons refused to believe it and fired several more shots, but it was still useless.
Dragon picked up one of the bullets spinning around him, examined it, and casually tossed it away, not even glancing at the Celestial Dragons. He addressed the kings present, “That’s right! I’m here to tell you all what really happened during the Void Century!”
Boom! The kings erupted in chaos again, unable to stop themselves from exchanging words with those around them. They didn’t know if what Dragon said was true, but his words were truly…
Just after Alabasta had questioned what happened during the Void Century, Dragon appeared and claimed he would reveal the history. For many kings unaware of the truth, this was explosive…
Could it be that the Void Century really hid some unknown truth?
After a buzz of discussion, most kings and leaders fell silent, their eyes flickering as they looked at Dragon standing there, but no one spoke. The meaning was clear: Dragon, begin your performance.
“There has never been any creator in this world! Nor any descendants of gods!” Dragon spread his arms and declared loudly to the crowd. Then, he suddenly pointed behind him at the Celestial Dragons without turning around. “The so-called World Nobles, during the Void Century, were nothing but a bunch of dirty thieves, liars, and pirates! It was they who deceived the entire world, transformed themselves into creators, and brazenly stole the power to rule this world! They have contributed nothing to this world, yet they lie comfortably on the backs of all people, enjoying offerings and sucking their blood! That’s right, they are not gods, just a bunch of despicable maggots!”
“For eight hundred years, they have enjoyed unparalleled privileges, arbitrarily enslaving people of other races, persecuting others at the slightest displeasure, treating human life like grass. In them, you can see all the evil and injustice of this world. They are the greatest scum in human history!”
“The reason is simply that eight hundred years ago, they stole control of the Ancient Weapon Uranus and threatened to destroy the world, forcing the entire world to recognize their status! That’s all! A bunch of garbage like them has been riding on the heads of all people for eight hundred years, enslaving our descendants, trampling on the dignity of the world!”
“What damn gods! What damn creators! The ridiculous thing is that you kings here, every four years, discuss using the wealth created by your countries and people to support these thieves and liars!”
For years, ever since Dragon learned the truth of that era, he had hidden this anger in his heart. Today, at this World Conference, he finally unleashed it all at once!
Everyone could feel his overwhelming fury from his tone.
“Wh… what!?” Hearing Dragon’s angry voice, the kings and leaders present were all stunned. Then many couldn’t help but stand up abruptly, asking, “Is what you said true!?”
Only one word echoed in everyone’s mind: Unbelievable!
King Cobra of Alabasta widened his eyes in shock and asked, “Then… does that mean our Nefertari family is also… also…”
Dragon glanced at Cobra and said, “No, the ancestors of the Nefertari family were originally kings, but they were deceived by the other Celestial Dragon ancestors, dragged into the war, and committed unforgivable crimes against the world. The Nefertari ancestors only woke up in time. Filled with guilt, they refused to enter Mary Geoise to become World Nobles!”
“Then… what about the previous royal family of Dressrosa, the Donquixote family?” King Riku couldn’t help but ask.
“The ancestors of the Donquixote family were always tyrants!” Dragon said. “And ruling a country is nowhere near as satisfying as ruling the entire world! So the Donquixote family left Dressrosa after the Void Century, letting your Riku family become the new royal family of Dressrosa…”
“Sh… shut up!!” The heads of several Celestial Dragon families were trembling, partly from anger and partly from fear.
Dragon’s merciless exposure of the truth finally made the Celestial Dragons afraid. As those who had deceived the entire world, they were inherently guilty. Otherwise, why would they have worked so tirelessly to prevent people from uncovering the historical truth?
When the false decorations are torn away, when the fabricated gods are cast down to earth, when all the halos surrounding the World Nobles dim, that will be the moment their doom arrives…
