Chapter 944 Reinforcements Needed

...

Golden city

Gold flowed and spread like a tide, quickly covering everything around it. Under Tesoro's control, the entire concert stage was submerged in a golden torrent. When the gold solidified again, a magnificent golden dueling arena appeared!

"Somaz?...Hey, hey, hey! You're...you're kidding!"

Qilin Gom's voice trembled with disbelief, and he began to stutter.

"...Why does he possess such a level of Conqueror's Haki!"

"That's awesome!"

"That guy..."

"What kind of monster is this!"

Having witnessed yet another power beyond their comprehension, the entire Straw Hat Pirates stared wide-eyed in shock. Their understanding was constantly being challenged throughout the day, and the crew began to wonder if setting sail after only two years of training was a bit too hasty.

"Dang Dang!"

Shamlock slowly emerged from a pile of ruins, his sword tip dragging on the ground. His usually cold and proud face now showed signs of dishevelment. He looked solemnly at the tall figure standing in the center of the ruins.

"Damn it!"

Witnessing Somaz being mercilessly torn apart by that terrifying Conqueror's Haki, the shrill and painful screams made Kirin Gom temporarily forget about his "immortality".

As if gripped tightly by a fear originating from the depths of his soul, Qilin Gom trembled all over, his previous arrogance completely gone.

As the other party just said: "Immortality" without sufficient strength is nothing but a curse.

"The situation seems to be very unfavorable for us now! I think we should retreat first, Commander-in-Chief."

Fearing that he would be next, Qilin Gom honestly stepped back to Garin Saint's side and whispered his advice.

"Shut up! Qilin Gom, you're tarnishing the honor of the Limosiever family!"

Garin shouted irritably.

As the captain of the Knights of God, the king of the Celestial Dragons! He is only one step away from the five positions that will rule the world!

Originally, the Knights of God's secret investigation had finally uncovered the heinous crimes that the Golden City had committed against the Celestial Dragons, which was a rare opportunity!

The Five Elders bear serious responsibility for this oversight and will surely be punished by Lord Im. If we can handle the task of punishing the culprit well, we might be able to advance further!

When he ascends to the position of one of the Five Elders, and Shamrock succeeds him as the leader of the Knights of God, the Figarand family will become the most powerful and noble Celestial Dragon family on the entire sea! Of course, apart from Lord Im.

But now... all that great potential has been ruined by the appearance of this man!

Thinking of this, Garin Sheng gritted his teeth in hatred, his expression ferocious, and his eyes were filled with anger and resentment as he looked at Geer!

"Haha, why are you staring at me like that? Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy before?"

Ge Er tossed his long hair and said vainly.

Forsford and Tesoro also came to the captain's side.

"Qiang!"

Ger pulled the large sword that was nailed to the ground, turned to look at the three of them, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

"Heh, what? The stage's all set up, you're not thinking of running away, are you?"

"Run away? You lowly commoner! The honor of the Figarand family shall never be tarnished or trampled upon!"

Although Garin Sheng shouted very firmly, he had already started to back down in his heart.

How to do?

Retreat means admitting mission failure, not only will you not gain any credit, but it will also become a major stain on your life.

“I think Qilin Gom is right.”

Just as he hesitated, Shamrock stepped forward and spoke calmly and collectedly.

"The great turmoil caused by the pirates outside is almost over, but the Navy's Buster Call fleet has not yet appeared. Something unexpected must have happened that we don't know about. I guess the Navy probably won't be able to come."

"An unexpected situation? Are you kidding me? The Navy has dispatched three admirals and twenty headquarters-class warships! Who on this vast ocean can stop them? They can't come? I think they're deliberately avoiding showing up!"

"I'm furious," Garin said.

"That's right! The Navy must take full responsibility for the failure of this mission. If they hadn't failed to arrive in time, Tesoro and the other big criminals would have been taken back to Mary Geoise to be punished long ago. It's all the fault of those damned idiots!"

Qilin Gom started cursing loudly from the side, and Shamlock continued.

"In short, the enemy has demonstrated powerful Conqueror's Haki capable of breaking through the God Knight's immortality. Given the current situation, it's clear that we have no chance of completing the mission on our own..."

Seeing that Garin Saint's expression was becoming increasingly grim, Shamrock wisely shut his mouth. He was only responsible for analyzing the situation and did not want to make decisions for his superiors.

"Hey! Get your act together, you bastards! You're intruders who have invaded my home!"

Ger squinted and smiled as he spoke.

"Don't give me that sullen look like your wife just died! Oh, wait, people like you Celestial Dragons would probably be laughing their heads off if your wives really died!"

"Humph!"

Garin raised his proud head and let out a cold snort with a disdainful look.

"Although I don't know what methods you used or what price you paid to achieve the result that the navy couldn't arrive in time, do you really think you have victory in your grasp?"

"Huh? These lines? Could it be..."

Captain Geller readily took over the conversation.

"Do you perhaps have some hidden cards up your sleeve?"

"Hehehe, people from the lower realm are just people from the lower realm. Even if they gain considerable power through luck, they are ultimately nothing more than a bunch of frogs in a well who have never seen the world!"

"To have ruled the world for 800 years! The power the World Government possesses is beyond your imagination!"

Galin's face radiated confidence.

Ger, however, picked at his ear with his little finger, and said somewhat impatiently.

"Alright, enough nonsense, old man. It's just a 'trump card,' and I happen to have 'a little' of it too. Show me what other tricks you have up your sleeve! Don't disappoint me!"

"Hmph! I hope you'll still be this arrogant later!"

As he spoke, Satoshi Karin took out a small, exquisite gray Den Den Mushi from his pocket and dialed the number.

Although Tesoro and Forsford, who were well-versed in the Thirty-Eight Stratagems, felt that they shouldn't give the enemy a chance to call for reinforcements, since their captain had already made this decision, they waited quietly without interfering.

"Bulu, bu, bu, bu!..."

The sound of the Den Den Mushi made the surroundings seem especially quiet.

"Crack!"

The Den Den Mushi, which had finally connected, sprouted a pair of horns on its head, and its shell was now adorned with a ring of black, flame-like patterns resembling those of a Zoan-type Awakened.

Hearing the faint rumbling noises coming from the other side, Garin Sheng frowned slightly and reluctantly spoke with a gloomy face.

"Five Elders... the situation is urgent. Golden City needs your reinforcements. I will summon you using the teleportation array right now..."

"Hey, wait a minute! Garin!"

Before Satoshi Karin could finish speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by the Den Den Mushi.

"Forget about the Golden City for now! The Holy Land is under attack! Mary Geoise needs reinforcements! The Knights of God must retreat immediately! Right now!"

"Nani!?"
