One Piece: Silent-Silent Fruit Chapter 289: A Terrifying Lineup

Hearing Rosinante's words, everyone present revealed shocked expressions.

The Five Elders. Those were figures standing at the absolute pinnacle of the World Governnt and the Celestial Dragons.

The five supre decision-makers who ruled the entire World Governnt.

At the sa ti, they were also the five most powerful combat forces within the World Governnt.

"Gurararara, so you plan to borrow our strength to withstand the pressure from the World Governnt?" Whitebeard asked with a faint smile.

"That's right. I can't withstand the pressure of the World Governnt on my own," Rosinante said calmly.

"On what grounds? Hey, Rosinante, this is extra work, you know. You want us to fight without offering benefits? Are you planning to exploit us dry?" Kaido said coldly.

"Well, you can't put it that way. The total share is fixed. If soone wants more, soone else has to take less. If the World Governnt wants more, then your shares will naturally be reduced," Rosinante replied.

"You dare? Rosinante, I hate deception the most. You already agreed to it and still dare to go back on your word. You know what the consequences will be," Charlotte Linlin said, staring at him coldly.

"Once you take the profits, you have to bear the pressure that cos with them. I didn't expect Nightless City's revenue to be this high either, so high that even I feel it's burning my hands. Sothing this troubleso can't all be dumped on alone, right?" Rosinante said.

"I don't care about any of that. In short, my share cannot be reduced. If it's reduced, I'll be unhappy. And when I'm unhappy, the consequences are very serious," Charlotte Linlin said ominously.

"It's not impossible for us to join forces with you against the World Governnt, but you should at least show so sincerity," Kaido said.

"I'll take out another ten percent of the profits for you to divide among yourselves, on the condition that the share obtained by the World Governnt and the Celestial Dragons does not exceed thirty percent," Rosinante said.

"What? You're planning to give the World Governnt thirty percent?" Whitebeard said in surprise.

He had thought Rosinante brought them in to force the World Governnt out of the ga, or at least prevent them from increasing their share.

He did not expect that Rosinante rely intended to cap the World Governnt's share at thirty percent.

"Trying to give the World Governnt nothing is impossible. Give them too little and they won't agree either. If your power were in the first half of the New World, I'd have the confidence to give the World Governnt not even one percent. Unfortunately, your forces are all in the New World, while Nightless City sits right next to the World Governnt. I don't want to be bombarded by them every few days," Rosinante said.

"But thirty percent is my bottom line," Rosinante added calmly.

The people from the World Governnt arrived very quickly.

The Navy officer in charge of the Sabaody Archipelago, stood on the dock, gazing out at the sea.

Not long ago, he had received orders to lock down the harbor and prepare for an arrival.

As for who he was ant to receive, the order did not specify, so he had no idea.

What surprised him even more was that the World Governnt officials stationed at Sabaody, who rarely showed themselves, were now standing respectfully on the dock as well, waiting.

These officials were specially assigned by the World Governnt to handle Celestial Dragon affairs on the Sabaody Archipelago.

They usually acted high and mighty, but now they all stood obediently, heads lowered, having waited for a long ti without a single complaint. This left The Rear admiral deeply astonished.

Just who was coming that warranted such reverence from these officials?

While the rear admiral was still wondering, a fleet of warships slowly entered his field of vision.

Upon seeing this fleet, The Rear admiral's mouth fell open in shock.

It was a formation of more than ten of the Navy's largest warships, escorting three World Governnt vessels at the center as they advanced slowly toward the harbor.

A fleet of this scale far surpassed even the infamous Buster Call.

While The Rear admiral stood there stunned, the fleet had already docked at the Sabaody harbor.

At that mont, countless Navy soldiers and World Governnt combat personnel poured off the ships.

They forcefully took over the dock and the surrounding security zones, driving away all the Navy soldiers The Rear admiral had arranged.

The Rear admiral and his n dared not voice any objections.

The Rear admiral might not recognize the ranks of the World Governnt personnel clearly, but he knew the ranks of the Navy soldiers all too well.

Every single one of them, even the lowest-ranking soldier, was at least a Navy Ensign, with dozens of Rear Admirals leading the operation.

What shocked The Rear admiral even more was that there were several Vice Admirals commanding them.

With a security force of this magnitude, how could he possibly raise objections?

If he were not the Navy officer in charge of the Sabaody Archipelago, he likely would have been driven away as well.

At that mont, several figures stepped down from the Navy warships.

The Rear admiral was stunned to discover that they were Navy Admiral Sengoku and the Hero of the Marines, Garp, who had only left not long ago.

Beside them stood the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, Kong the Steel Bone.

In addition, there were the Navy's Chief of Staff Tsuru, as well as the monstrous Vice Admirals Sakazuki and Borsalino.

This was practically every top-tier combat force of the Navy gathered in one place. What was going on? A massive war?

Were they preparing to deal with the Gray Kingdom and the three great pirate crews? Only sothing like that would justify the Navy deploying such an enormous force.

Yet after Kong and the others disembarked, they did not move out. Instead, they stood alert, watching their surroundings, as if waiting for sothing.

Soon after, a group of people stepped down from the World Governnt vessels.

When The Rear admiral saw the person leading them, he was so shocked that his mouth fell wide open, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
