The Strongest Lunarian in One Piece

"Bang!!"

"Damn it—"

"That bastard Fallen Angel, El!"

The situation at sea had finally stabilized, and now he was trying to stir up trouble again.

At the peak of the Red Line, within the Hall of Authority in Mary Geoise, the Five Elders erupted in fury upon receiving the news, slamming the table into splinters.

For years, Celestial Dragons had been the targets of repeated assassination attempts—all because of that Fallen Angel, El, who had brazenly placed a massive bounty on their heads.

However, thanks to the World Government's heightened security—deploying countless agents and even CP0 as personal bodyguards—no major incidents had occurred. Over time, they had begun to let their guard down.

Yet, despite all their precautions, they had failed to prevent the inevitable.

A Celestial Dragon had been assassinated.

"Has the perpetrator been caught?"

Leaning on his cane, the Warrior God of Science and Defense, Saint Saturn, glared at the trembling CP0 officer kneeling before him.

"He must be publicly executed to demonstrate that the World Government's authority is untouchable!"

"And it must be a slow death—skinning and dismembering him alive as an example to strike fear into any other foolish criminals!" added Saint Nasujuro, adjusting his glasses with a chilling expression.

"Our deepest apologies, esteemed Five Elders..."

The CP0 officer, drenched in cold sweat, answered in a trembling voice:

"The assassin has been identified as the wanted pirate 'The Demolitionist' Farkas Lemm, with a bounty of 75 million Berries, but he has yet to be captured!"

"Bang!"

A heavy ashtray was hurled across the room.

It struck the officer's head with a sickening crack, shattering on impact and leaving a deep, bloody wound.

Blood streamed down his face, dripping onto the floor.

Yet the CP0 officer remained kneeling in silence, too terrified to make a sound.

"You useless fool!"

"You failed to protect a Celestial Dragon, and now you can't even catch the perpetrator?"

"Why do we even keep garbage like you?"

"Isn't the Navy already taking action?"

"What the hell is going on?"

The Five Elders scowled, their killing intent palpable.

As CP0, their primary duty was to protect the Celestial Dragons. Failing to do so was already an unforgivable offense—but allowing the assassin to escape on top of that?

Unacceptable.

"It's like this—although the Navy has completely surrounded Sabaody Archipelago..."

The CP0 officer hurriedly explained:

"The target was well-prepared and immediately sought sanctuary with the 'Hell Trading Company.' Before the Navy could arrive, he had already escaped Sabaody using the Coating underground waterways!"

"What?!"

"Those bastards!"

"Are the Fallen Angel Pirates truly determined to stand against the World Government?!"

The Five Elders were outraged, their faces twisting in fury.

They couldn't believe it—the Fallen Angel Pirates had actually dared to shelter a criminal who had assassinated a Celestial Dragon.

It was blatant defiance.

A direct challenge to the authority of the World Government.

"Contact the Fallen Angel Pirates immediately!"

"Demand that they hand over the assassin!"

"And force them to revoke the bounty on the Celestial Dragons—"

A sharp gleam flashed.

The legendary blade, Shodai Kitetsu, was drawn from its sheath.

"If they refuse to comply, let them suffer the consequences."

With a cold, murderous tone, Saint Nasujuro continued:

"The World Government will retaliate at all costs!"

"Additionally, issue direct orders to the Navy and all member nations of the World Government—intensify the crackdown on the Hell Trading Company! We cannot allow those scoundrels to become even more brazen!"

"This..."

Hearing this, the CP0 agent hesitated for a moment.

For years, the World Government and the Fallen Angel Pirates had been locked in an ongoing shadow war, filled with open and covert clashes.

Though both sides had suffered losses, the Fallen Angel Pirates had never truly been at a disadvantage.

Would they really back down so easily?

As for ordering the Navy and allied nations to suppress the Hell Trading Company...

The World Government had already been trying for years, yet their efforts had yielded little success.

The extent of the Hell Trading Company's influence remained unknown, but it had deeply infiltrated various naval branches and member nations.

Many leaders had been completely compromised, and the organization effectively controlled entire regions from the shadows.

Even CP0 agents had uncovered traces of corruption, yet no concrete evidence had ever been gathered.

Even when the World Government executed rogue royalty and naval officers as a warning, the Hell Trading Company merely became more discreet—but they never truly stopped.

Despite his inner doubts, the CP0 officer dared not voice them.

"Understood!"

"This incident is an unprecedented disaster..."

With icy determination, Saint Mars suddenly interjected:

"I believe we should issue a Buster Call on Sabaody Archipelago!"

"Otherwise, ambitious criminals across the sea will believe they can simply rely on the Fallen Angel Pirates for protection and attempt similar acts!"

"We must utterly crush any delusions of defying the World Government—lest our authority crumble entirely!"

"A Buster Call on Sabaody?"

The others narrowed their eyes in shock.

They hadn't expected Saint Mars to be this radical—after all, the assassin had likely already escaped under the Hell Trading Company's protection.

"But Sabaody holds a special position..."

Saint Valkyrie furrowed his brows, stating:

"Aside from Mary Geoise, it is one of the world's most vital political and cultural exchange centers. The island is highly sensitive..."

"So what?"

Leaning on his cane, Saint Saturn scoffed:

"Gods do not need to justify their actions to mere mortals."

"I agree."

With a chilling gaze, Saint Nasujuro sheathed his blade.

"The World Government has suffered repeated humiliations in recent years. It's time to remind the world of its place."

"That reasoning is... not entirely wrong..."

After a moment of contemplation, Saint Valkyrie nodded slowly.

"Now that I think about it, every single Celestial Dragon attack has taken place on Sabaody. That island has already become a 'den of sin'—unforgivable."

"Then it's settled."

Seeing no further objections, Saint Peter made the final decision.

"Issue the order immediately—"

"The Navy will launch a Buster Call on Sabaody Archipelago!"

"The entire island is to be burned to the ground!"

With a chilling expression, Saint Mars turned to the bloodied CP0 agent.

"Deliver the command."

"Y-yes, my lord—"

Though his heart trembled, the CP0 officer dared not hesitate.

That day, Sabaody Archipelago's fate was sealed.

The island would be drenched in blood...

And possibly erased from the world's map forever.
