With Kaido's head turned into a ram's spine.
The scourge of the pirates was finally settled, with the high-end combat power swept away.
Hail. Locke, Shanks, Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, four pirate emperors met their ends successively, and most of their elite cadres were also annihilated.
The main task of the New World Navy now is to complete the encirclement and annihilation of pirates on dozens of islands within the territories of the Big Mom Pirates and the Wano Country.
However, the high-level combat forces of the Navy did not have time to continue participating in the battle, because the real decisive battleground was in the towering Mary Geoise.
All uncontrolled factors, whether pirates or marines, have now been cleared by Sakazuki.
The remaining powerhouses in this world, on the surface, will all surge into Mary Geoise tomorrow, to be annihilated by Sakazuki, ushering in the prelude to the New World...
Barrett, carrying the head in his hand, flew towards Carol, who had suddenly appeared.
Carol looked at Kaido's head, which had turned into a ram's spine, and couldn't help but smack his lips. This guy was the most tragically dead of the Four Emperors...
The others also came over, placing their hands on Carol.
Whoosh—
Several people vanished from there.
---------
New World, New Marineford.
In the Fleet Admiral's office.
Carol let out a long sigh, the long-distance teleportation was still a bit strenuous.
He took Kaido's head from Barrett and walked out.
Garp frowned:
"Not going to Mary Geoise?"
Sakazuki glanced at him indifferently:
"What's the hurry?"
"Going there now, do you want to protect those pigs for those idiots in the World Government?"
His ambition was unconcealed in his words.
This made Sengoku's expression tighten, but he said nothing.
He had long been disappointed with the World Government, but he didn't know where Sakazuki's confidence came from. Moreover, this matter concerned Garp and Dragon, and he couldn't just stand by.
But...
"Just us few?"
"Where are Borsalino and Aramaki?"
Sengoku's Observation Haki did not sense those two at the headquarters.
Although he was confident in the combat power of the four people currently in the room, he thought it was ridiculous to overthrow the World Government with just this.
If the World Government could be overthrown by powerful combat forces alone, it would have been gone hundreds of years ago. This sea is never short of strong individuals emerging one after another.
The most recent supreme powerhouse was Rocks, but even that guy met his end at God Valley. Therefore, overthrowing the World Government was not feasible solely by combat power.
Sakazuki said faintly:
"The two of them are going to pick up Vegapunk."
"After all, if you want to control this world, technology is the foundation."
His indifferent voice carried no discernible emotion, making it flawlessly believable that Sakazuki had sent them on a mission.
But in reality, Sakazuki had never considered letting the Marines fight the final battle.
Despite the Marines' current ascendant status, to put it bluntly, they were all guys who, cloaked in the mantle of justice, acted with impunity.
Except for Barrett, Enel, and Sote, who were trained from childhood.
The remaining group were already set in their ways; whether it was Kuzan, Borsalino, or Aramaki, or Fujitora, none of them were true soldiers.
As for Garp and Sengoku, Sakazuki had found them displeasing for a long time.
The word "justice," though it restrained them from being pirates, and they had done good deeds and saved many people,
the preceding labels allowed their justice to be carried out with impunity. Their past records were rife with acts such as disobeying orders on the battlefield, acting on personal emotions, and colluding with the enemy.
If Sakazuki hadn't been waiting for the right opportunity, none of them would have lived for two days, and the new world he was about to create would not accommodate them...
Sakazuki would not tolerate these people becoming high-ranking officials in the new regime.
This was also why Sakazuki had not promoted Enel and Sote to Admiral.
In this war, those Admirals would "gloriously" fall in battle, and after it ended, the vacant Admiral positions would be immediately filled, and while the world's high-end combat power was cleansed, the Navy would still have a full complement of Admirals to suppress the world...
Sakazuki slowly walked out of the Fleet Admiral's office and went to the parapet, looking at the execution platform in the distance.
Garp, suppressing his inner anxiety, followed, as did Sengoku. The two of them looked at the execution platform, their pupils contracting slightly.
Barrett, walking out nonchalantly, wore a sinister grin.
On the execution platform.
At some unknown time, four enormous iron spikes had been erected upon it.
Carol appeared on it, with three heads hanging from his waist and holding a blood-soaked Kaido's ram's spine in his hand...
All the soldiers who witnessed this scene were so shocked they could barely move, their hands froze, and they stared blankly.
Carol reached for the heads hanging from his waist.
Thwack—
Hail. Locke's head was pierced through the neck into the first iron spike and stood upright.
The soldiers below looked at the pirate 'emperor' they had only seen in newspapers, swallowed hard, and couldn't believe it.
Thwack—
Shanks' head was also pierced through the neck into the first iron spike and stood upright.
That red hair was the most obvious identifier, and now no one had any doubting eyes...
Thwack—
Charlotte Linlin's head was also pierced into the iron spike and stood upright.
The enormous heads allowed the soldiers to clearly see the grotesque, terrifying faces. Many soldiers holding items and looking towards the execution platform dropped what they were holding.
The clanging sounds snapped everyone back to attention, and they looked with fervent excitement as Carol lifted the last head.
Thwack—
Kaido's head, like a ram's spine, was also pierced into the iron spike and secured.
The dangling vertebrae, accompanied by the grotesque head and bloodstains, appeared exceptionally terrifying, yet no one was afraid.
Thus.
The four pirate emperors were all declared dead.
Their heads were erected on the execution platform of Marine Headquarters for people to take pictures. These photos would be spread across the world in the shortest possible time, stabilizing public sentiment.
Carol on the execution platform.
His pristine Marine uniform and justice cloak were splattered with blood. Although there was fatigue on his face, it did not detract from anything.
He walked forward a few steps, stood at the edge of the execution platform, took a deep breath, and raised his hand, waving forward:
"Justice!!!!"
His resonant voice spread throughout the island, echoing in the silent headquarters, leaving everyone's minds blank and in awe.
The soldiers, regaining their senses, as if of one mind, roared back with fervent excitement:
"Victory!!!!!!"
The four heads in the center of the execution platform explained everything!!!
Countless photos were sent from headquarters to newspapers all over the world.
From the moment Sakazuki announced the final battle until now, it had only been two days.
No!
It had only taken a day and a half for the Four Pirate Emperors, who had dominated the seas for decades, to be subdued.
The Great Pirate Era had officially come to an end!!!
