One Piece : Glory To The Fleet Admiral

Chapter 171: The Show Begins, the Birdcage Envelops the Holy Land!



At the entrance of the Holy Land.

In the artificial forest lining both sides of the automated walkway, dozens of CP0 agents clad in white robes and wearing various masks were scattered in hidden positions.

Some stood on trees, watching the entrance ahead with intense vigilance, while others stood beneath the trees, leisurely smoking cigarettes.

Most, however, were lurking in even more concealed spots, holding their breath as they focused on the entrance.

Under the nearest artificial tree to the entrance, three tall and slender CP0 agents stood silently.

None of them made any unnecessary movements, standing like statues beneath the tree.

"Guernika, this mission has already gone beyond the scope!"

Suddenly, the man on the left turned his head to look at the companion in the middle, speaking in a grave tone.

"Saint Marcus Mars has already rotated out of the Chamber of Power. His orders..."

He paused briefly, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Most importantly, the target of this mission is none other than Fleet Admiral Orion. His current status is equivalent to that of the Five Elders. For us to act against him now and in the Holy Land no less... I'm not afraid of death, but it just feels... strange."

"Assassinating a Fleet Admiral whose status equals the Five Elders in the Holy Land—don't you think that's highly unusual?"

Guernika, a CP0 agent under the World Government and currently recognized as the strongest within the organization, adjusted the dark scarf around his neck with deliberate calmness.

His voice was low as he replied "Unusual? You need to understand how Orion became Fleet Admiral in the first place!"

"He's a traitor!"

"The Mary Geoise Treaty that the World Goverment signed with him was merely a temporary measure!"

"The authority of the World Government cannot be challenged. Once the time is ripe, his existence must be erased!"

"Now that Sakazuki has gone to Wano Country and Kuzan has stayed behind in Whole Cake Island, Orion only has the newly appointed Admiral, Gion by his side. If we don't eliminate him now, we'll never get another chance like this!"

"Most importantly, this matter cannot go through the Chamber of Power. It must be handled by Saint Marcus Mars, who has already rotated out."

As soon as Guernika finished speaking, a sound resembling a bird's call suddenly echoed from the artificial forest ahead.

Immediately, CP0 agents lurking in the shadows began to emerge, swiftly moving toward the entrance.

"They're here!"

Seeing the figures continuously appearing, Guernika pupils slightly contracted.

Although he had spoken with conviction, deep down, he wasn't the least bit confident about successfully completing this mission.

The reason was simple.

As the strongest agent in the CP0 organization, he was well aware that even if the young Marine Fleet Admiral had only brought one newly appointed Admiral with him, it was still not something they could contend with.

After taking a deep breath in secret, he no longer hesitated and decisively stepped forward.

***

At the same time.

The elevator had arrived at the entrance.

As the elevator doors opened, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

In the next second, more than a dozen CP0 members lurking near the entrance swiftly pounced out, their target clearly aimed at the elevator.

"Huh?"

Just as they rushed to the elevator door, the dozen or so CP0 members who had lunged forward almost simultaneously froze.

The elevator doors had opened, but the elevator itself was empty.

"What's going on?"

"Where are they?"

After a brief moment of shock, the leading CP0 member was the first to react, cautiously scanning the surroundings.

"How did they just vanish into thin air!"

"Didn't the people below just report that they were in the elevator?"

"Damn it! Did they know about the ambush?"

As the voices of the CP0 members continued to rise, Guernika also arrived at the entrance. He glanced at the empty elevator, then instinctively looked up at the sky.

The moment he raised his head, a black shadow suddenly flashed beneath the cantilever outside the elevator.

Immediately after, a massive arrow wrapped in bandages rose from below the cliff, instantly reaching the sky above the CP0 members.

On the massive arrow wrapped in bandages stood Orion and his group.

Orion, standing at the front of the arrow, had his hands behind his back, looking down at the CP0 members at the entrance.

On his left and right stood Gunko and Gion.

Hancock and Doflamingo also stood on either side, each facing a different direction, their killing intent inadvertently radiating out.

Before all the CP0 members present could react, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and landed steadily at the entrance.

It was none other than Doflamingo, hands in his pockets and wearing a pink feathered coat.

"Fufufufufu, it seems some people are desperate!"

Before the words even finished, Doflamingo swiftly darted forward, grabbing the face of the nearest CP0 agent and slamming him heavily into the ground.

BOOM—

A loud explosion rang out, followed by a shockwave that rippled through the air.

The CP0 member who had been slammed into the ground rebounded in a manner that defied the laws of physics.

"Doflamingo!"

"Damn it, take him down!"

The sudden battle jolted all the CP0 members awake.

With angry shouts, the leading CP0 members charged forward without hesitation, rushing at Doflamingo from several directions simultaneously.

However, they were still a step too slow.

As they lunged forward, Doflamingo suddenly looked up, unleashing the unique power of his Paramecia String-String Fruit.

In the next second, several threads appeared in the sky above, then plummeted down like meteors, instantly piercing into the bodies of the CP0 members who were about to reach Doflamingo.

Immediately after, these CP0 members uncontrollably came to a halt, then turned around with expressions of terror.

"Hahahahahaha—"

After controlling these CP0 members with the parasitic threads developed through his String-String Fruit abilities, Doflamingo let out an evil laugh, his fingers manipulating the strings.

"Damn it, I... I can't control my body!"

"Doflamingo, you... ugh!"

As Doflamingo fingers danced, the CP0 members controlled by the strings let out panicked voices as they drew their guns and aimed at their comrades.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The crisp sound of gunfire rang out without warning.

Immediately after, the CP0 members controlled by the strings pulled the triggers simultaneously after aiming at each other.

In just one encounter, several CP0 members fell into a pool of blood.

"How utterly delightful!"

"Hahahahaha~"

After brutally dispatching the charging CP0 members, Doflamingo slowly spread his arms, like a wild horse breaking free from its reins.

His maniacal laughter echoed across the Holy Land.

Amidst the crazed and evil laughter, a 'Shadow Clone String Puppet,' identical in appearance to Doflamingo, rapidly materialized and appeared beside him.

Then, with a flick of his finger, the top of the newly formed 'Shadow Clone String Puppet' suddenly split open and a dense mass of threads burst forth, shooting straight into the sky.

The dense threads soared to a height of a thousand meters before blooming like fireworks, quickly covering and enveloping the entire Holy Land.

"The show—"

"Begins!"

As Doflamingo voice rang out, the dense threads covering the sky above the Holy Land immediately began to descend at an astonishing speed, forming a massive birdcage that encased the entire Holy Land.
