One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons!

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

Marshal's Office.

There were two telephone bugs on the table, and Seng Guo's eyes were wandering around, hesitant.

In this sea, there are very few things that can make the dignified [Wise General] hesitate, but this moment is an exception.

In the end, Warring States set his sights on the "golden telephone bug".

Raise your hand slowly.

Just when Sengoku's hand was about to reach forward, the [Grand Staff Officer] He across from him suddenly spoke out.

"Are you ready to wake up? Warring States Period."

"..."

Warring States paused.

Both he and Grandma He knew exactly what the golden phone bug represented.

A super-large-scale, destructive military operation—the Demon-Slaying Order!

Established by the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, it carries out indiscriminate and destructive attacks on designated areas to wipe out everything and people in an area.

The operation consisted of ten battleships, five lieutenants, and a large number of elite naval forces, enough to wipe an island from the world with ease!

That "golden phone bug" is the key to launching the demon-slaying order!

…

So, is the main reason why the Demon Slaying Order is feared by people lies in its lethality?

No!

The terrifying thing about the Demon-Slaying Order is not its "destructive power", but its "erasure" function.

Once it is regarded as a target by the Demon-Slaying Order, there will no longer be any records related to it in this sea, and the target will completely disappear from this world!

World governments often use demon-slaying orders to erase some "taboos".

For example, [The Devil's Descendant] Douglas Barrett many years ago;

For example, the former [Archaeology Holy Land] O'Hara...

There is nothing in this world that scares people more than "denying its existence", and this is the only function of the Demon-Slaying Order!

Now, once the demon-slaying order is launched, whether it is "the Tianlong people are killed again", "[the devil] appears in the East China Sea", or the "Totemjika" that has not yet appeared, "the world government intervenes in domestic affairs", etc. Many shocking events...

Even the [Land of Music] Iregia itself will cease to exist!

This is the truth behind the Demon-Slaying Order!

…

"That's the ringtone that represents 'destruction'."

Crane made no move, just looked into Sengoku's eyes calmly, and said slowly:

"Once upon a time, the ringing of the bell destroyed O'Hara."

"Now, are you aware enough to let it ring in Iregia?"

"..."

Warring States was silent for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand.

"Xiaohe, do you know?"

"Roger's death ushered in a new era. I can't let the second new era come so quickly. This sea cannot bear it."

"Whether [the devil] intends it or not, he already holds the 'key' in his hand!"

"Are you aware of it? That's not important."

Warring States' voice gradually deepened.

"All I need to do is to prevent everything on Iregia from ever happening..."

"..."

Jingle bell bell bell bell…

…

Elegia, port pier.

Thanks to the guidance of Alvin Lindsay, the people on the island quickly evacuated to the port.

But preparing a ship to go to sea will ultimately take time.

Everyone mixed together in a short time and fell into a huge commotion.

"Quick, get on the boat!"

"If the Tianlong people die, we will all be regarded as accomplices!"

"This country is hopeless, and I don't want to stay and be buried with it!"

"..."

The situation is getting worse and worse, and a serious conflict is about to break out.

At this moment, an inexplicable sense of oppression suddenly struck, covering everyone present indiscriminately.

Uh-huh!

For just a moment, everyone at the port couldn't help but shudder, as if someone had put a knife on their necks.

The source turned out to be a red-haired man wearing a black coat.

[Red Hair] Shanks——

Overlord color and domineering burst!

He tried his best to suppress his overbearing look to the minimum, and stopped everyone's actions without fainting on the spot.

boom! boom!

Ben Beckman took advantage of the situation and fired two empty shots into the sky. He held a loudspeaker phone bug in his other hand and said loudly:

"Hello? Hello!"

"Okay, everyone can be quiet now. Those who want to evacuate slowly get on the boat, and those who can't catch up will wait for the next batch!"

Beckman said casually, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

Then, he threw the phone bug to the big fat man Rakiru next to him, turned to Shanks and said: "Is this all right, Captain?"

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Shanks nodded slightly and sat on the wine barrel next to him.

"The matter is serious. After all, the Celestial Dragons are involved. The World Government will definitely send someone of the admiral level."

"The 'Shambaud Islands Riots' are about to happen again in Iregia, and the situation may be even worse!"

Shanks frowned slightly, already making a decision.

"I can't leave my friends alone..."

"That's it, Beckman."

Shanks started to make arrangements: "Uta, as well as the other wounded, I'll leave it to you. You go out to sea in a boat first, and I'll stay and watch what happens."

Beckman nodded, "Leave it to me."

Shanks murmured: "I hope everything goes well, I always have a bad feeling..."

"captain!"

At this moment, Jesus Bu, who was in charge of the lookout, suddenly hurried over, pointed to the coastline in the distance and said: "The navy is coming!"

"Oh? It's so fast!"

Shanks took the telescope and sighed casually.

He had already expected the situation at this moment, but he was very curious, which general was dispatched this time?

Pick up the telescope and take a look.

"Oh, Flying Squirrel? Huoshaoshan? These are the new generation of naval forces that have been in the spotlight recently!"

"Are you here to accompany me this time?"

"Let me see who the general is..."

"..."

Shanks paused.

"Hey, Beckman!"

"captain?"

Beckman noticed something was wrong with Shanks' expression and immediately came over.

Shanks' expression condensed and he said in a deep voice: "Tell Gordon immediately and ask him to arrange for everyone to evacuate Elegia as quickly as possible. You all go to help, quickly!"

Beckman looked at Shanks' expression and suddenly realized something.

"wrong……"

"Tsk! Warring States, is this your decision?!"

Shanks was so angry that he crushed the telescope in his hand and stared at the naval fleet on the distant coastline.

There are no admirals, but a large number of fleets and naval elites!

In this case, there is only one answer -

"Does the World Government think that the impact of this incident is too great and intends to completely wipe out Elegia?"

"Let everyone move faster! Quick, quick, quick!"

"..."

Robin is not far from Shanks.

She also saw the naval fleet in the distance, and that scene brought back memories from many years ago.

A sense of powerlessness and fear rushed into her heart, causing the girl to collapse to the ground.

She murmured:

"It's the Demon-Slaying Order..."

The nightmare comes again!

…

Phew—boom!

Phew—boom!

A familiar voice sounded, but this time it was not the pleasing fireworks, but the heavy artillery that destroyed everything!

The warships that carry out the Demon-Slaying Order are the strongest and most aggressive in the navy. Just the least powerful front-facing artillery fire is enough to destroy the entire port terminal!

Scattered shelling came.

At this moment, the fleet was still some distance away from Elegia, but it was discovered that many ships were trying to escape.

In order to prevent criminals from hiding in those ships, the fleet launched a bombardment to block the entire coastline of Eregia.

During the period when the demon-slaying order is launched, innocent people will be taken in by refugee ships, and unofficial ships are strictly prohibited from going out to sea at will.

However, although they did try to avoid it, the accuracy of the artillery shells was limited after all, and a lot of accidental injuries were still caused.

A few strong men, including the red-haired pirates, took action to cover the people and helped shoot down the cannonballs.

As for the nobles, the red-haired pirates are too lazy to take care of them, so they can only rely on their own abilities...

…

The ship of Arlan, the country of knights.

"Jorian, Jorian is there!"

the nobles shouted.

Jejajorian is not only the prince of Arlan, but also the Grand Knight Commander, responsible for the safety of the accompanying nobles.

But at this moment, Jorian was not on the boat, but standing at the edge of the pier.

One arm was wrapped in bandages and hung on his chest.

He murmured:

"Is Mr. Lindsay okay?"

"..."

"Hey, Jorian, what are you doing?"

"That's the Demon-Slaying Order! The Navy's Demon-Slaying Order!"

A powerful old aristocratic man yelled and ordered: "Hurry up and get on the boat to cover our evacuation!"

"..."

Jorian just looked at them quietly.

Arlan's national situation is similar to the "Senate", and the authority of the nobles is no less than that of the royal family.

Even his father has to take into account the faces of the nobles in front of him!

But now?

Jorian blinked, then waved to them and said, "Is my father okay?"

"..."

A group of nobles looked back and saw the king of Arlan huddled under the mast, covered in wounds, muttering in embarrassment:

"I'm sorry, I was wrong...I can't do it, I don't know, I don't know how to do it..."

"..."

When the nobles didn't answer, Jorian understood.

He had already sensed everything through seeing and hearing Se Haki, but in the end he felt more at ease after asking him personally.

"That's it..."

He sighed softly and said loudly: "Please take good care of my father. The cannonballs probably can't do anything to our ship. Just listen to the navy's arrangements!"

He waved his hands as a farewell.

"I'm going to help others first, see you later!"

The nobles suddenly became furious.

Although Arlan's ship is very strong, and there are guards on board who can barely block the cannonballs, their strength is not as good as Jorian's after all.

"Do not make jokes!"

"You are the Grand Knight Commander of Arlan, and your duty is to protect our safety. Don't worry about those untouchables!"

Looking at Jorian's retreating back, the aristocratic old man cursed vigorously:

"Jejajorian, have you abandoned the honor of being a knight?"

"..."

Jorian didn't answer.

Or maybe... the sound of the artillery fire was too loud?

A shell falls and is about to hit a fleeing family.

A dark shadow flashed over.

boom!

The high-temperature gunfire surged, but the husband who protected his wife and daughter was surprised to find that he was unhurt!

Looking up, he saw a figure with a jet black metallic luster all over his body.

"I have been taught since I was a child to follow the doctrine of chivalry."

"See through evil, preach the truth, practice justice, punish sinners..."

Jorian tore off the bandage on his arm, and blood oozed from the wound, but it was stopped by the armed domineering force.

Jejajorian - Awakening of Armed Color Haki!

He gently rubbed the little girl's head and signaled the family to leave as soon as possible.

Then, he looked up and looked further away. A large number of civilians were about to be hit by artillery shells.

"They said I...abandoned my glory?"

"..."

Jorian rushed forward with his sword, knocking down all the cannonballs in mid-air.

Boom boom boom!

Jorian rushed out of the black mist and stood in front of the crowd. His figure was shaky, but he did not fall down after all.

"no."

No more pure white knights.

[Black Knight] looked at them, smiled, and murmured:

"You are my glory..."

…
