Kapitel 235: We need to follow procedures when we do things
"Bad news! Vice Admiral Saul has defected! He has also taken away Nico Olvia!"
While the Giants' large stature had its inconveniences, it also had its advantages. When he took Olvia away, he simply held her in the palm of his hand, and nobody noticed that he had brought her out.
By the time they realized it, he had already taken two ships and left the branch. If they had discovered him within the branch, with Sengoku guarding it, he wouldn't have had any chance of success.
After all, no matter what orders the World Government gave, Sengoku would ultimately choose to accept and complete them, even if it went against his own will.
Upon learning of this, Sengoku immediately dispatched pursuers. Saul knew the detailed plan, and letting him leave like this would be a big trouble.
"Saul, if you do this, you won't be able to return to the Marines, right?"
"It doesn't matter. Since the start of this operation, I have had doubts about the righteousness of the Marines. Maybe this aligns with their laws, but it's too cruel, and it's not the justice I endorse. I wasn't planning on continuing anyway, so now I can finally go back home.""
He wouldn't fear anything as long as he could return to his hometown, to the land that belongs to the Giants.
Due to the Giants' strength, they have an agreement with the World Government. Giants' warriors can join the Marines, and the Marines can arrest Giants who violate regulations in the open sea. However, they are not allowed to take action within the borders of the Giant's homeland.
"Alright, let's part ways here. Hurry back and inform them that they should still have time to escape. Dereshishishi."
Accompanied by an eerie laughter, Saul and Olvia went their separate ways.
Saul also had to face pursuit from his former colleagues. He had already caught sight of the shadow of those pursuers.
At the same time, Olga was nearing the meeting point, and Genesis had already crossed the Calm Belt. However, Yamato's journey this time wasn't as enjoyable as before. Although Arceus didn't unleash any deadly tennis balls, he had Electro Ball.
Currently, three Electro Balls were swirling around Yamato under Arceus' control. Their erratic, untargeted, and completely random attacks were causing significant trouble for Yamato.
Electro Ball's power could be controlled, so being hit only caused temporary paralysis.
"Dad, you've been led astray by Father. You weren't like this before!"
"It's for your own good. My Electro Balls will only cause a tingling sensation, but the enemy's attacks won't be so simple."
A few days later, Genesis and Shadow Fox met at the designated location.
It was a crescent-shaped island, and both ships were currently in the crescent-shaped harbor. A large number of plants created by Arceus covered the hull of the ships, making them blend seamlessly with the island unless observed up close.
"Olga, how large of an area can your illusions cover now?"
"If it's centered around me, it's probably a spherical space of about two hundred meters. What's the matter, Lord Arceus? What's the mission for this operation?"
"We need to take away some people from another island. The process isn't difficult, but you'll have to maintain your illusions throughout the way. Would that be a problem?"
"As long as I don't engage in intense battles, my illusions can be maintained."
"Then there's no problem. Your sole objective is to maintain the illusion; you don't need to worry about anything else."
Saying that, he chose some elites, and they flew away from there. Meanwhile, the others' task was to remain here without revealing themselves.
Under the cover of illusion, the members of Beasts Pirates quietly flew towards Ohara.
The warships responsible for executing the Buster Call were approaching Ohara one after another. However, at this moment, CP9's Chief Spandine had already arrived on Ohara.
For this operation planned by the World Government, they naturally sent their most trusted personnel. Saul's previous defection had raised some doubts within the World Government regarding the effectiveness of the Marines.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Capture all the scholars on the island. Our promotion prospects depend on this!"
Under Spandine's orders, a group of agents dressed in suits rushed down from the ship and surrounded the Tree of Knowledge on the island.
Meanwhile, a voice from World Government's official resonated through the island's broadcast system.
"Attention, all residents! All scholars on this island are suspected of plotting world destruction. A thorough search will be conducted across the entire island. Non-related individuals should immediately gather with identification documents at the evacuation ships on the shores of the sea!"
The initiation of a Buster Call is not something that would be openly announced to everyone. This approach is already implying the subsequent actions to be taken. As for the residents' fixed property on the island, it was not something they needed to consider.
Taking refuge was already the utmost they could do. Some people were reluctant to leave, but ultimately, they made a compromise in the face of threat where they will have to bear the consequences.
At this moment, Olvia, who had returned to the island with Saul's help, was confronting Spandine. She fired a gunshot at the sleeve Spandine was wearing, hoping to shoulder all the blame herself.
However, in Spandine's eyes, her thinking was exceedingly naive.
"Olvia, don't be so naive. Do you think the World Government attacked Ohara because you were arrested? You've got the order of events wrong. This command had already been issued before you were arrested."
"At most, you were just the spark. Over the past six years, World Government has arrested countless individuals worldwide who sought to explore history. We already have 100% evidence proving that all of this is connected to Ohara."
"Of course, even without evidence, it doesn't matter. After all, Ohara is a holy land of archaeology."
"Only by destroying this place will those archaeologists truly comprehend the severity of the situation and understand the consequences of exploring the 100-Year Void!"
"You people have truly lived long enough. Instead of exploring such a vast history, you choose to obsess over that hundred-year period. All of this is your own fault."
"We are going to make an example out of you people as a warning to others."
"That's right. We don't need evidence because the order has already been issued. But we're not pirates; we are the World Government. We still need to follow certain procedures. Do it!"
Following Spandine's instructions, the agents behind him easily brought Olvia down. In the Tree of Knowledge, all the scholars were captured and brought to the clearing in front of the tree by the agents.
After a careful search, they confirmed that there was no one inside the Tree of Knowledge. However, just as they left, dozens of figures appeared inside.
"Boss Olga's illusions are still as effective as ever. We walked past right in front of them, yet they didn't notice us."
"Lord Arceus, what should we do next?"
"First, make rubbings of the contents on that Poneglyph and collect these books. Then, we'll wait for the Marine's 'signal'."
