Chapter 147 - Chapter 147 Forgiving Enemies is The Protagonist Crew's Traditional Virtue

After Jin left, the battlefield on Onigashima fell into complete silence.

The two sides stared at each other.

To fight or not to fight?

To be honest, Jin's move just now had stunned everyone present.

This absolute power that transcended dimensions made everyone feel a sense of frustration, like showing off mediocre skills before a master.

Even the proud Kaido and Blackbeard couldn't help but feel a void, wondering what they had been working so hard for over the past forty years.

"Attack now!!!"

Just then, the reincarnated Ace's shout pulled everyone's attention.

The reincarnated Ace yelled hoarsely:

"Now is the best chance to kill Teach and avenge Pops and Jozu!"

Ace's shout awakened all the Whitebeard Pirates' members.

Right!

What does Jin's strength matter to them?

Never mind that Jin destroyed the government's weapon.

Even if he destroyed the entire planet, it was none of their business.

They were only here to take Blackbeard's life!

In fact, Jin leaving was even better for them.

At least they didn't have to worry about that monster interfering!

Although until now, Jin had only been watching.

But who knew if he would make a move?

And if Jin did intervene, whether he would help Kaido and Blackbeard was unknown.

But he definitely wouldn't help the Straw Hat Grand Alliance.

Therefore, now was the best time to kill Blackbeard!

With this in mind, the Whitebeard Pirates' members, as if injected with adrenaline, charged forward one after another.

Vista: "Everyone, charge!"

Izou: "Avenge Pops!"

Marco: "Teach! We'll use your head to pay respects to Pops, Jozu, and the others!"

...

"Damn it! Do you really think you can defeat me at this level?!"

Even with two top-tier Devil Fruit's Abilities, Blackbeard couldn't help but feel some pressure.

However, taking his life wouldn't be that easy!

"Captain! I got the thing!"

At this moment, Burgess, captain of the First Ship of the Blackbeard Pirates, jumped down from the completely destroyed ceiling.

He was carrying a corpse on his back.

It was the corpse of [Diamond] Jozu, whose skull had been shattered by Blackbeard's attack earlier!

Seeing this, Blackbeard didn't hesitate and slapped Jozu's corpse.

All the Whitebeard Pirates' members, who had seen this before, changed their expressions drastically.

Marco, in his Phoenix form, swiftly flew towards Blackbeard.

"Teach! You bastard! Stop!"

However... it was too late!

Blackbeard grabbed the 'Devil' of the Kira Kira no Mi with his right hand and injected it into Burgess's body. (T/N: Twinkle-Twinkle Fruit.)

"Weehahaha!"

Burgess laughed loudly.

He leaped up, blocking Marco's path.

At the last moment before their bodies collided, Burgess's body turned into diamond.

Marco kicked with a flying leg.

But not only did he fail to send him flying like he did with Borsalino during the Summit War, he also hurt his own foot.

'So hard!'

"Weehahaha! This ability really suits me!"

Burgess looked proudly at his diamond body.

"Teach! I will never let you go!!!"

The reincarnated Ace's anger had reached its peak.

'First Thatch, then Pops, now Jozu.'

'I must grind this traitor to dust!'

"Zehahaha! Don't speak too soon, Ace!"

Blackbeard raised both hands, showing off his proud power, one black and one white.

"You're the ones who will die!"

At Mary Geoise, in the back garden of Pangaea Castle.

Hundreds of representatives from affiliated countries participating in this quadrennial meeting had gathered here before the conference began.

They were having lunch and chatting together.

Because all weapons and communication devices were prohibited here, the representatives from various countries were completely unaware of the great battle happening at Onigashima that was terrifying the whole world.

"Cough cough cough!"

Cobra, the king and representative of the Alabasta Kingdom, couldn't help but cough violently.

His daughter Vivi saw this and quickly went over, gently patting her father's back.

"Really, Dad, I told you to let me handle this meeting alone."

"Hehe~ I'm not that old yet."

Cobra forced a smile.

"By the way, Cobra-san, are you really planning to propose that motion from before?"

King Riku, who had regained his position as king of Dressrosa with the help of the helpful Straw Hats, came over and asked Cobra.

Behind him were Viola and Rebecca, the aunt and niece pair.

They had met before entering Pangaea Castle.

And Cobra had discussed with Riku.

They planned to propose abolishing the Warlord system.

After all, both had suffered greatly because of this system.

But, the similarities between the Dressrosa Arc and the Alabasta Arc were really quite numerous.

"Of course. For this world to develop better, the Warlords are unnecessary."

Cobra said resolutely.

Meanwhile, the two princesses, Rebecca and Vivi, started chatting together.

The topic mainly revolved around Luffy.

And Viola stood by with a smile, listening quietly.

"Please prepare to enter the castle, representatives."

Just then, a royal guard in armor announced.

"Huh?"

Wapol, who had lost to the Straw Hats once but made a comeback thanks to Wapometal, raised an eyebrow:

"Shouldn't the meeting time be more than an hour from now?"

The guard replied:

"Because something unexpected came up..."

When he said this, the representatives didn't notice.

Large drops of cold sweat were flowing down the side of this guard's face under his helmet.

They had received the news.

That demon was coming this way!

Therefore, to prevent any accidents befalling the gathered representatives, they needed to be moved into the castle early.

Although the World Government never cared about others' lives, if so many national representatives died at the Holy Land, not to mention the World Government's reputation would suffer a devastating blow, the whole world would inevitably fall into chaos.

...

Although some representatives were slightly dissatisfied, when the guard used the 'This is the order of the Five Elders' argument, no one dared to object and obediently followed the majority into the castle.

Vivi, Cobra, Wapol, Riku, and the others entered the castle one by one.

At this time, Rebecca, walking slightly behind, noticed a figure still standing in the courtyard, putting piece after piece of steak into his mouth with a fork.

"That person..."

Rebecca opened her small mouth curiously.

Because he was facing away, she couldn't see his face.

And Viola frowned slightly.

'He feels somewhat familiar?'

The guard captain responsible for conveying the order saw this and quickly walked over to scold:

"Hey! I said everyone into the city, what are you still do..."

Thud!

Before he could finish the last word, the man directly stabbed the fork into the guard's throat, causing the last word in his mouth to be forever choked back.

"Ahhhhh-"

The sudden change scared the many nobles and royals present into screaming hoarsely.

And everyone saw the face of the 'assassin'.

"It's you!?"

Viola's mouth opened wide enough to fit a fist.

How could she forget?

The man who had messed her senselessly half a year ago and told her to ask the Straw Hat Pirates for help.

And not just the nobles representing the various affiliated countries, the royal guards responsible for security also clearly saw Jin's face.

Many of them had witnessed Jin single-handedly destroying the World Government's ultimate weapon in the broadcast half an hour ago.

Now facing this man in person, how could they not be afraid!?

"Going in, right? Coming now."

Jin held the fork in his right hand, piercing the guard's throat, and casually pushed him to the ground.

With his left hand, he picked up a small cake from the table and threw it into his mouth.

And strode towards the city gate.

"S-Stop him!"

Even though they were almost scared enough to wet their pants, the Holy Land's guards mustered their courage, trembling as they surrounded Jin.

'Very courageous.'

'But could your legs stop shaking?'

"D-Don't move, or I'll shoot!"

The guard captain's teeth chattered as he shouted at Jin.

Jin suddenly understood Cell's mood for not killing Mr. Satan.

Just as Piccolo said, "Even Cell doesn't want to kill that fool."

It's too degrading.

Jin chewed the small cake as he walked towards the city gate.

As he passed by the guard captain, the other's head suddenly fell off.

The cut was so smooth and neat, it was admirable.

"Wh-What is this!?"

At this time, Vivi, Cobra, and the others also noticed.

Unbeknownst to them, the surroundings of the courtyard were filled with dazzling cherry blossoms.

But before they could appreciate the beauty of these petals-

Slish! Slish! Slish!

The heads of all the guards were smoothly cut off one by one.

Falling to the ground with a clatter!

Even Vivi and Rebecca, who had suffered greatly under Crocodile and Doflamingo, were shocked by this scene, their mouths wide open.

"Whew~ Finally caught up, Jin-sama flew too fast..."

And this scene was happen to be seen by Pudding and the other two girls who had caught up on Flying Nimbus from above.

At the same time, it was completely filmed by the broadcast Den Den Mushi in Pudding's hand.

...

"This is how a real man should be!"

Seeing Jin breaking into Mary Geoise alone, killing people like slaughtering dogs, countless people in front of the broadcast Den Den Mushi sighed with such emotion.

Roger's era was in the past.

People all over the world didn't know what Laugh Tale hid, nor did they know what magnificent journey the Roger Pirates had experienced.

But people all over the sea felt that the excitement of Jin's life was no less than Roger's.

Just then, in front of the castle's glass windows, several figures slowly walked out.

The whole world once again opened their eyes in astonishment.

They're the split-off other branch of the Revolutionary Army!

Koala, Hancock, Kuzan and Zephyr!

And also a coffee-skinned woman they hadn't seen before, wearing white luxurious clothes.

And when Hancock came out, the cherry blossoms floating all over the sky, as if responding to their master's call, quickly gathered in front of Hancock and turned into a brooch, tightly attached to Hancock's ample bosom that couldn't be concealed no matter what.

"Jin-chan~"

Seeing Jin, Hancock, as if possessed, had heart-shaped eyes.

She raised both hands high and rushed up for a hug.

"Why are you still carrying this?"

Nami also noticed the broadcast Den Den Mushi in Pudding's hand.

"Such an interesting event as attacking the Holy Land, how can we not film it? Let the whole world appreciate Jin-sama's heroic posture."

Pudding gave Nami a 'you're so clueless' look.

Nami couldn't be bothered to argue with her and walked down from Flying Nimbus with Robin.

"Nami!"

Vivi exclaimed in surprise.

Nami looked up and also saw her good friend whom she hadn't seen for two years.

But when Vivi ran up with a surprised expression, Nami's face showed more embarrassment than excitement.

After all, Robin was right beside her.

Don't forget, from Vivi's standpoint, Robin should be her enemy, since during the Alabasta Battle, Robin was still Crocodile's deputy.

But fortunately, forgiving enemies was basically the Straw Hat Pirates' traditional virtue.

When Vivi saw Robin, she just froze for a moment and didn't care too much.

"You came here to..."

Vivi held Nami's arm and asked curiously.

She had good emotional intelligence and didn't ask awkward questions like whether Nami had really left the Straw Hat crew.

Nami blinked twice in Jin's direction.

Vivi also couldn't help but swallow her saliva and cast a look of both curiosity and fear at the man now most famous on the sea.

"Kuzan-san, Zephyr-san, let's go save Kuma! He should be in the Celestial Dragon Castle next to Pangaea Castle. Hancock-san's target is the Celestial Dragons too, right? Then please come with us."

Koala, as the Supreme Leader of the new Revolutionary Army, immediately began deploying their forces.

"What about Harribel-san?"

"Emmm..."

Hancock was a little torn.

If Jin hadn't come, her first target would of course be to kill the Celestial Dragons.

But now that Jin was here, she couldn't help but want to stick with him.

Seeing Hancock wishing she could rub her entire body into Jin's, Koala, Nami, and the other girls felt it was too much to watch.

'Adulterous couple!'

"You go. Haven't you been waiting for this moment for so many years?"

Jin waved his hand, signaling Hancock to go with Koala and the others.

"Okay~"

Hancock pouted and returned to Koala's side.

"Please protect them."

Jin instructed Harribel.

Jin didn't know how strong the God's Knights protecting the Celestial Dragons were.

With only an Admiral-level Kuzan, and a Hancock who used her Bankai with only Shikai-level strength, Jin didn't know if it was safe.

But with Harribel following, it would be foolproof.

Harribel crossed her arms under her exaggerated bust, silently walked to the back of Koala's group, acting as a bodyguard.

'Tsk tsk, women who have been emotionally hurt are hard to conquer.'

'Oh no, Harribel's case wasn't really emotional hurt, it was mainly the psychological shadow from being tricked by Aizen.'

'It feels a bit like a stray dog that rejects humans.'

'But although this kind of loyal dog-type woman is harder to conquer at the beginning…'

'Once you succeed, she will follow you wholeheartedly.'

'No hurry, no hurry~'

...

"I saved your life."

Jin strode into Pangaea Castle and spoke coldly as he passed by Cobra.

Cobra was completely baffled.

He had no idea what Jin meant.

That's normal, since he can't predict the future and doesn't know he would die in this Levely.

Watching Jin's back as he entered Pangaea Castle, Kuzan scratched his head and said:

"After this is over, our Revolutionary Army won't have to disband, will we?"

When they were hiding in the Mirror World earlier, they had also witnessed the shocking scene of the Onigashima Battle through the broadcast Den Den Mushi.

Especially the scene where Jin single-handedly destroyed the World Government's secret weapon and blew up the moon.

Kuzan was almost scared pissless.

Now that Jin was here, Kuzan didn't think the Five Elders could stop him.

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that the World Government had weapons even stronger than that thing.

Though Kuzan thought the possibility was minuscule.

"Kuzan-san, if the World Government is gone, the Revolutionary Army will be even more needed."

Koala raised a finger to admonish Kuzan:

"In that case, the world will fall into chaos, and we'll have even more work to do."

Although the World Government was scum, it couldn't be denied that they did play a certain role in balancing the world's structure and suppressing pirates.

Once the World Government, this Damocles Sword hanging over the pirates' heads, would be gone.

In this lawless Great Pirate Era, what those scum pirates would do was simply unimaginable.

"Koala is right, Kuzan. You're so old, and you haven't even thought of that?"

Zephyr scolded.

"Ara ara ara~ Got it, got it. I was just joking."

Kuzan rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on.

"Can we go now?"

Hancock said impatiently.

She couldn't wait to use her new ability to chop those damned Celestial Dragons into mincemeat and throw them into New Amazon Lily to feed the snakes.
