Chapter 210: Tesoro Appears
"So this is the truth that was concealed?"
"The Battle of God Valley wasn't a victory for the Marine, but for the pirates!"
"No wonder the World Government deliberately hid this war. It wasn't at all as Sengoku described. If it weren't for Bob's arrival, we would still be in the dark!"
"Bob... just how powerful is this bald guy?"
"During the Battle of God Valley, the Marine already lost to him. Can they win this time?"
"With the Five Elders joining this time, they should... be able to, right?"
"..."
People were shocked by the truth revealed by Shiki.
Bob's arrival had unveiled the full picture of the real events from forty years ago.
They now understood that the World Government had intentionally buried this humiliating history, and the Marine had done the same.
Some recalled Sengoku's confident words from before and suddenly found them laughable.
In an instant, the truth that the World Government had painstakingly concealed for forty years since the Battle of God Valley was laid bare before the eyes of the world.
The authority the World Government had worked so hard to build over the years crumbled in an instant.
While people felt disappointed in the World Government and the Marine, they couldn't help but marvel at Bob overwhelming strength.
They knew that the course of this battle would undergo a dramatic shift because of Bob arrival.
"Gurararara!"
"To just blurt this out like that!"
"Where does this leave Sengoku and the Marine's dignity?"
Whitebeard's laughter was loud and bold, carrying the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
People felt their ears trembling from the vibrations.
Hearing Whitebeard's words, Sengoku's expression darkened to the extreme, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Now, he had only one thought: to annihilate all these pirates here and now.
Only then could the World Government's authority be restored and the Marine's dignity can be restored.
"Sengoku, don't act rashly!"
Kong, sensing Sengoku's agitation, quickly warned him.
His own mood was also worst, but he knew they had to remain calm in the current situation.
Hearing this, Sengoku's tightly clenched fist slowly relaxed.
He then sharply turned his gaze toward the Five Elders.
Now, he could only place his hopes on these five individuals.
He knew that if they clashed head-on with Bob, the Marine's would surely suffer a crushing defeat.

Meanwhile, at the Five Elders' position.
"Damn it! All our efforts over the past forty years have gone to waste! The World Government is surely being mocked by the entire world right now!" Ju Peter, his hands nearly finished condensing a strange energy, glared at Bob standing on the deck.
"They're just lowly commoners. If we could seal this history for forty years, we can seal it for another forty! But if Bob isn't dealt with..."
"The World Government will face a tremendous threat!" Nusjuro spoke gravely.
He too was furious about the exposure of this truth, but he knew that history is always written by the victors.
The process of this battle wasn't important, but the outcome was.
And eliminating Bob here was even more crucial.
"The power bestowed upon us by Im-sama..."
"Who would have thought we'd have to use it here!" With a slight sigh, Nusjuro wore a look of regret on his face.
The ball of light in his hand had now fully solidified, emitting an eerie glow.
In the next moment, his finger moved subtly, the motion almost unnoticeable.
Immediately, the dazzling light slipped from his fingertip and vanished into the ground.
At the same time, the other four elders focused their gazes and just like Nusjuro, four beams of dazzling light disappeared from their fingertips.
"This will still take some time!" Nusjuro spoke indifferently, his sharp eyes fixed on Bob.
Just then, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the Bay, as if a massive bomb had detonated there.
At that moment, everyone turned their attention toward the source of the sound.
Those who saw the scene were utterly stunned.
Anchored at the harbor of Crescent Bay was an enormous ship.
Its entire body gleamed golden, reflecting the sunlight with a dazzling brilliance.
The ship was equipped with various entertainment facilities and massive structures, resembling a floating town.
The entire vessel radiated one word: luxury!
It was none other than the pirate ship of Gild Tesoro: the Grand Tesoro, also known as the City of Gold.
On the deck of this colossal ship stood several figures.
At the forefront was the Golden Emperor Tesoro, dressed in pink clothes and pants, with his ash-green slicked-back hair.
To his left stood the Soul King Brook, wearing a golden crown and wielding a single-handed sword.
To the right stood Enel the ruler of Skypiea, followed by the supernova Cavendish, the green-haired Bartolomeo and Pell.
"What's going on?"
"Why would Tesoro come to Marineford?"
"And that person beside him—is that the Soul King Brook?"
"Enel, Cavendish, Bartolomeo, and Pell are here too!"
"What's happening? The newspapers clearly stated that only the three great pirate would be involved in the Marineford battle. How did these people suddenly join?"
"Oh my god! Are these reinforcements for the pirates?"
At this moment, both Marines and pirates alike were filled with shock.
The Golden Emperor Tesoro had brought his City of Gold to Marineford.
Who was he? He was the wealthiest man in the world, controlling 25% of the world's wealth and influential in both the underworld and outsideworld.
Instead of indulging in his lavish lifestyle, he had chosen to jump into this chaos—and he wasn't alone.
The figures standing beside him were all formidable individuals who held significant power in the world.
Now, the people of Marineford faced these unexpected arrivals with mixed expressions.
The pirates felt somewhat relieved, as they knew these individuals had long been at odds with the World Government.
It was highly likely they would side with the pirates.
On the other hand, the Marines were deeply troubled.
With Bob's earlier involvement, the battle had already tilted in favor of the pirates.
Now, with these powerful figures appearing, it was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the Marines.
At this moment, the soldiers in the square looked at the figure on the golden ship, the hands gripping their weapons trembling slightly!
