Free Web NovelChapter 727: 727 The Five Elders Falling for the Trap
After confirming that "Uranus" would be deployed, Saint Nusjuro spoke up to add: "With that being the case, Egghead Island cannot afford any failure. Marcus, I’ll trouble you to make a trip."
The teleportation ability of the Five Elders was not omnipotent. Short-distance teleportation didn’t have many restrictions, but for long-distance teleportation, they needed one of them to act as an anchor to summon the others to their side.
Back then at Egghead Island, Saint Saturn and Saint Mars had actually already been waiting inside the Marine battleships.
"Going down to the lower realm again..."
Saint Mars furrowed his brows, a look of clear disgust appearing on his face.
However, he had no intention of refusing. After all, among the five people present, only his Itsumade and Saint Nusjuro Bakotsu had the fastest speed, and he was the only one with flight capabilities.
Furthermore, Egghead Island was currently drawing attention from all sides. If he didn’t hurry over as quickly as possible, Kaido and BIG MOM, who had always been eyeing Vegapunk, would definitely rush over to join in the fun as well.
So, despite the deep reluctance in his heart, Saint Mars still stood up from his chair and walked out of Pangaea Castle.
"The Marines really need a proper cleanup as well. They can’t beat pirates, and they can’t beat the Revolutionary Army, so what use do we have for keeping them around?!"
Out of dissatisfaction at being drafted into service once again, Saint Mars complained very resentfully before leaving.
He didn’t care at all about how troublesome the enemies the Marines encountered were. To people like them, running dogs who couldn’t solve troubles for them were just a bunch of valueless trash.
The other four Five Elders actually shared similar thoughts, though compared to the drafted Saint Mars, they were relatively a bit more "rational."
"Although the opponents these two times are indeed not easy to deal with, Marcus is not wrong either. The Marine performance recently hasn’t been very good, and they should be given a warning."
After contemplating for a moment, Saint Warcury, the Warrior God of Justice, proposed:
"They can’t deal with the Four Emperors... no, the Five Emperors, but can’t they even deal with ordinary pirates? Kizaru and Akainu sweeping operations earlier were still too slow, especially when they already have Valstrax-type battleships, don’t they? Once the issues on both sides are resolved, let set a clear task for them. If they don’t eliminate enough pirates, we will cut the Marine military budget for next year."
"Not just the Marines, those CP agents are the same as well." Saint Nusjuro slightly modified Saint Warcury proposal, "Whichever side eliminates more pirates, next year resources will tilt toward that side."
"Agreed," Saint Saturn also nodded in concurrence.
"Furthermore, because of the events that have occurred recently, many allied nations have begun having improper thoughts, most likely with the shadow of the Revolutionary Army behind them.
Therefore, not only must the Faboket Island issue be resolved as quickly as possible, but those guys on Egghead Island cannot be let off easily either. If necessary, we can all head over."
These words were meant for the other three people present, as well as for Saint Mars, who was currently flying.
Because they had all "signed a contract" with Imu, the Five Elders could use telepathy to communicate remotely regardless of distance, just like a Den Den Mushi.
"Makes sense!" Saint Mars, who had been in a bad mood, replied immediately. "As soon as I arrive at Egghead, I will summon you right away, and we can wipe out the Revolutionary Army all at once!"
"...Agreed."
Although they knew he was just displeased about being the only one having to go down to the "lower world," being able to wipe out the Revolutionary Army in one fell swoop was a good thing for them. So, despite being a bit speechless, the other four Elders still agreed to the proposal.
Saint Mars, mid-flight, felt even better. He flapped his wings hard twice, and his speed picked up a bit more.
...
"So boring... Brother Sherwin, when is the flying Sister Shirahoshi coming over, meow?"
(=ω=)
Klee Meow lay in Sherwin arms, boredly scratching at his collar with her little paws.
"It not a flying Shirahoshi, it the Ancient Weapon, Uranus."
Sherwin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he rubbed her cheeks to correct her.
"Klee remembers you and Sister Robin saying that Sister Shirahoshi is also an Ancient Weapon, meow."
(ノ)`ω(ヾ)
The little Ragdoll patted away Sherwin large hand, protecting her cheeks with her paws, and retorted in a muffled voice, "Isn’t that Ancient Weapon just a flying Sister Shirahoshi, meow?"
"Then Pluton, the Plutonian King, is a ship. You can’t say that Shirahoshi too, can you?"
"Why not? The Dudu Eco-Dome can turn into a giant sea dragon, isn’t that a lot like Sister Shirahoshi, meow?"
(=`へ=)
Klee Meow put her hands on her hips and said confidently and righteously.
"That right, that right, the Dodo Advance is super awesome, meow!"
Although the ship spirit of the Dodo Advance did not come out because of the presence of Sabo and the others, it did not stop her from communicating with Sherwin and the rest.
"...Once it appears, you will know the difference." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Sherwin remained silent for a moment and could only say that.
"But when is it going to come over, meow?" The little Ragdoll cat rolled around in Sherwin arms, then pouted her little bottom and rooted around on him like a little pig, "Klee is so bored waiting, meow..."
Originally, Sherwin wasn’t sure if "Uranus" would come, but after Klee Meow showed anticipation for it, it would definitely appear.
Furthermore, Sherwin had added an extra insurance policy...
"Don’t worry, you will definitely see it. When the time comes, if it doesn’t use ’Mother Flame’ as its energy source, you can use ’Little Girl’ to blast it!"
"Oh oh oh——!!!"
(==)
Klee Meow immediately became happy and stopped pestering Sherwin to ask when "Uranus" would appear. Instead, she quickly took off the little backpack on her back and rummaged through it while muttering to herself.
"Um... Mr. Sherwin?" Seeing that the conversation between Sherwin and Klee Meow had ended, Sabo, who had been sitting anxiously on the side, quickly asked,
"Did you just say that Princess Shirahoshi is also an Ancient Weapon? And you even know the whereabouts of another Ancient Weapon?"
Sherwin saw right through Sabo thoughts.
"Don’t even think about it. There a gap between the Ancient Weapons too. Eight hundred years ago, the Mermaid Princess and Pluton both belonged to Joy Boy side, yet the twenty royal families who formed the World Government still won.
So, in all probability, Poseidon and Pluton combined can only match Uranus, or maybe they can’t even beat it, let alone the fact that Pluton can’t even be retrieved right now."
"So, this time, even if we can’t get our hands on Uranus or completely destroy it, we must still inflict some damage on it, so that the World Government cannot easily deploy it."
"I see. As expected of Mr. Sherwin, you’ve thought everything through so thoroughly."
Under Dragon influence, the Revolutionary Army members, including Sabo, also held a deep filter of admiration toward Sherwin.
Sherwin rubbed his nose uncomfortably. He had plenty of self-awareness regarding his own strategic planning, and he really wasn’t used to others treating him like some hidden sage of the wilderness.
Fortunately, at this moment, Shermie Meow, who had been keeping her Observation Haki active, suddenly tugged his ear to warn him,
"Sherwin-chan! Akainu and the others have started to evacuate from the island, and something is flying toward us. It should be the Uranus you mentioned, meow!"
