One Piece: Invincible Starting From The Fruit Of Words-Chapter 195 Enough Troops To Destroy The World!

He had only seen such a wave once before.

That was the day when the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, was executed many years ago.

At that historic moment, Roger's final words before his death ignited the Great Pirate Era.

Since then, the tides of the era have swept across the entire world, and no one has been able to escape them.

Don Chinjao had lived for decades, from the old era to the new, and no one understood better than him what the upcoming battle represented.

Looking back, Chinjao said, "You all stay here and form a defensive perimeter!"

"What? How can that be possible?"

Lao G and Abu spoke hurriedly.

"There's no discussion! Follow the old man's orders!"

Chinjao showed an unprecedented seriousness in his expression and gave his command with force.

"When the war is over, if I don't return, you must immediately lead the Happo Navy back to the Land of Flowers."

"Lao G, from this moment on, you are the pillar of the Happo Navy!"

It was as if Chinjao were giving his last will.

In the upcoming war of the century, he was unsure whether he would return alive.

In an unassuming tavern in a small town on the Grand Line, Blackbeard sat reading a newspaper, biting into a sakura peach pie, and grinning.

"Zehahahaha! So it's finally about to begin?"

"I have to move quickly!"

Having been pursued relentlessly, Blackbeard had managed to escape back to the first half of the Grand Line, temporarily shaking off his pursuers.

Lucifer's declaration of war against Whitebeard had greatly relieved the pressure on him.

"Fight! Fight! The more intense, the better!"

"When both sides are exhausted, that will be the start of my era!"

Blackbeard's ambition had not diminished in the slightest. On the contrary, after obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit, it had grown even more boundless.

He knew that at this moment, he was no match for Lucifer.

But Blackbeard had unwavering faith in the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit and his own unique body.

He believed that as long as he obtained a more powerful Devil Fruit ability, he would eventually surpass Lucifer.

When that time came, the world would be his!

Boom!

The tavern door was pushed open, and a towering, muscular man stepped in, accompanied by a harsh laugh.

"Weihahahaha! I found you, Captain Teach!"

"The ship is ready. When do we set sail?"

The newcomer was the Fighting Champion, Jesus Burgess.

Behind Burgess, Van Augur, Lafitte, and Doc Q followed closely.

These were Blackbeard's original crew members as recorded in history.

Now, one by one, they had come together under him again.

It all seemed like fate!

"Zehahahaha! Then let's go!"

Blackbeard swallowed the last bite of his sakura peach pie, stood up, and left the tavern.

Burgess and the others followed behind him.

The group swaggered down the middle of the street, forcing passersby to make way.

In the first half of the Grand Line, the five of them were nearly unstoppable!

At Marineford, Naval Headquarters, Sengoku sat in the Fleet Admiral's seat, his expression cold and emotionless.

He was waiting for updates.

The war was about to break out, and every pre-war preparation had to be perfected to the utmost, ensuring there were no loopholes.

Even if it increased their chances of victory by just 0.0001%, Sengoku would execute the plan with full force.

"Garp, just wait. I will avenge you soon!"

Sengoku glanced at the bag of senbei on his desk, his heart filled with determination.

"I will make Lucifer, that bastard, pay for what he has done!"

Ever since Garp had died in battle, no one had barged into his office, sat down for tea, snacked on senbei, or caused a ruckus with him.

Thinking back on all those moments, tears welled up in Sengoku's eyes.

He was heartbroken.

But the deeper his sorrow, the stronger his killing intent grew!

From the day Garp had fallen in battle, Sengoku had been suppressing his bloodlust.

All for this moment—to end Lucifer!

Boom!

Suddenly, the door burst open, and a Marine Rear Admiral hurried in.

"Fleet Admiral! The Warlords of the Sea—Hawkeye, Chinjao, Kuma, and the two newcomers—have all confirmed their participation in the war!"

"However, Empress Boa Hancock has yet to reply."

"As for Jinbei, he has made it clear that he will not accept the summons. Additionally, the Sun Pirates under his command have disappeared!"

Sengoku narrowed his eyes.

"Five out of seven, huh...?"

Sengoku narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.

He wasn't entirely satisfied with this result, but it was within expectations—so it would have to do.

Because of Lucifer, the Seven Warlords of the Sea had suffered heavy losses, and the Marines had spent considerable effort filling the vacant positions.

Sengoku had already known that the new trio would join the battle.

Whenever a newcomer became a Shichibukai, they had to prove their worth.

Bartholomew Kuma was a loyal Marine ally—his participation was a given.

As for Dracule Mihawk, there was no need for concern. He was a lone wolf, but with so many powerful figures on the battlefield, he wouldn't just stand by idly. His pride wouldn't allow it.

Although Boa Hancock was a woman, Sengoku knew full well how formidable she was.

A pirate who had awakened Conqueror's Haki was not to be underestimated.

She had yet to respond, but Sengoku was still willing to try and persuade her.

However, Jinbei outright refusing to participate in the war was an entirely different issue.

"That damn Jinbei... is he siding with Whitebeard?"

Sengoku understood Jinbei's deep respect for Whitebeard.

For him to disappear at such a crucial moment meant only one thing—he had gone to the New World to aid Whitebeard.

Narrowing his eyes, Sengoku turned to the Marine Rear Admiral and ordered, "Contact Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel. Have him continue negotiations with the Pirate Empress. Make sure she understands the consequences of defying the summons, but convince her if possible."

"Time is running out. Give her another day at most.

"If she still refuses by tomorrow—strip her of the Shichibukai title!"

"Yes, Fleet Admiral!"

The Rear Admiral saluted and quickly exited the office.

Meanwhile, in the Holy Land, the Five Elders were not idle.

Although the war had yet to begin, tension had already gripped the entire world.

Inside Pangaea Castle, within the Room of Authority—

"The war is imminent. Do you think we can finally eliminate that cursed brat this time?"

The curly-haired Elder raised an eyebrow, glancing at the others.

"Marineford has mobilized 200,000 elite troops, and we have both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates involved. With such overwhelming force, we could destroy the world itself!"

The sword-wielding Elder unsheathed his katana, its blade reflecting a menacing light.

"Still, we mustn't let our guard down. We cannot afford any mistakes," the blond-haired Elder said, flipping through a stack of bounty posters featuring Lucifer and various members of the Nether Pirates.

"Deploy CP agents as well," the long-haired Elder spoke, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Any action that increases our odds, no matter how small, must be taken. Lucifer must be eradicated!"

The bald Elder nodded solemnly.

"However... sending out this many troops will leave both Marineford and Mariejois dangerously vulnerable," the curly-haired Elder hesitated.

With the entire Marine force mobilized—including CP agents—Naval Headquarters and the Holy Land would be left defenseless.

If anyone chose to invade Mariejois at such a moment, the consequences would be catastrophic.

"Exactly! That bastard Lucifer will likely seize the opportunity!"

"If he attacks the Holy Land while our forces are occupied, the results will be disastrous!"

For the first time, hesitation flickered across the faces of the Five Elders.

Despite their immense power, they were still old men. And the older one got, the more one feared death.

They had ruled the world for too long—enjoyed absolute authority, endless wealth, and unparalleled status.

They had no intention of dying anytime soon.

"To be safe, order the Celestial Dragons to temporarily evacuate Mariejois and take refuge in the Sacred Palace.

"If Lucifer does attack, he'll find nothing but an empty city—his efforts will be meaningless.

"On the contrary, if he dares to break away from his army, we'll have the perfect opportunity to crush the Nether Pirates!"

"Excellent idea!"

"Let's proceed with that plan!"

"Demon Lucifer... the Nether Pirates... this time, we will cleanse the seas of this filth once and for all!"

The blond Elder slammed the bounty posters onto the table.

The sword-wielding Elder suddenly swung his katana, slicing through the stack of posters.

A terrifying killing intent erupted from the Five Elders, filling the entire chamber.

The oppressive aura surged from Pangaea Castle, spreading throughout Mariejois.

Across the Holy Land, guards, Marine officers, slaves, and even the Celestial Dragons trembled in fear.
