When not facing enemies, she behaved quite normally, harboring no ill will towards innocent people and showing great protection and care for her own people.

Surprisingly, he's a nice person.

When Rayleigh discovered this, he was somewhat surprised. After all, to compare killing people to eating rice, or even counting them by the grain, was so normal, it was really abnormal.

However, since it was still good news, Rayleigh was quite pleased.

He didn't really want to release a murderer who would turn the sea red.

"Admiral?"

Esdeath repeated the title, her expression revealing a fanatical fighting spirit.

This was the first word she heard since she came into this world, a synonym for "strong."

The entire ocean seemed to tremble in fear of the admiral's name.

This made her extremely eager to try her hand at fighting these powerful beings who suppressed the sea.

"Yes, Admiral."

Mentioning this word, Rayleigh couldn't help but recall the past.

Besides Garp, there was also a Marine Admiral who was constantly entangled with them back then.

Sengoku, who has now been promoted to marshal, and Zephyr, who has already retired.

They had all fought before, plus that guy Garp who, apart from not having the title of Admiral, was actually pretty much the same.

Those three guys were the ones who gave them a real headache back then.

I didn't think much of it before, but now that I've seen the new three admirals and Esdeath, this new generation of "pirates," I can't help but feel a little sentimental.

I've truly realized that my era is over.

“Speaking of which, Kizaru usually doesn’t leave Marine Headquarters Marineford. What’s going on today? Has he made some big news again these past few days? Esdeath, now that you’ve decided on Haki, you just need to use it more. Let’s go back to Sabaody Archipelago and see if anything major has happened.”

"it is good."

Esdeath had sparred with Rayleigh several times during training and was getting a little bored. Now that a Marine Admiral was here, she wanted to get involved if anything big happened.

……

"Hmm... Marshal, what? Someone attacked Impel Down? Oh dear, this is terrible! When? Two hours ago? What? It's already been breached? Level 6 and some Level 5 prisoners escaped, Warden Magellan was killed in battle, Warden Shiryu is missing, and the Deputy Warden is seriously injured, oh dear... how awful! Okay, okay, I understand, I will cooperate with CP0, don't worry!"

Kizaru took down the Den Den Mushi, his expression one of extreme surprise.

Just as he went out on his inspection tour, a major event occurred: Impel Down was attacked and breached.

The breakthrough time was very short, reported in detail, no more than half an hour.

It was an attack by an enemy with extraordinary Conqueror's Haki.

The battle began, and all the ordinary prison guards were stunned. When they woke up about an hour later, they found that the battle was over.

The footage from the surveillance Den Den Mushi was retrieved, and it was seen that about twenty minutes into the video, the enemy left Impel Down with a large number of prisoners.

The enemy did not harm the ordinary prison guards, but all the Devil Fruit awakened prison guards died, and at the same time, one of Impel Down's two major forces was dead and the other missing, making the situation extremely serious.

"Oh, so tired... This is terrible!"

These are turbulent times, and the troubles are immense.

Chapter 31 Esdeath's Plans

"Hey, Xia Qi, I'm back."

Inside Shakky's extortionate bar, Rayleigh led Esdeath in.

The entire Sabaody Archipelago is currently under martial law, and virtually all industries are at a standstill, so there are hardly any people here in Shakky's area.

"What exactly happened?"

"Rayleigh asked."

He already knew the general situation: someone had attacked and kidnapped a Celestial Dragon, but he didn't know the specifics. So he returned to Shakky to see if this professional information broker could get him some information.

"Who is this?"

Shakky glanced at Esdeath and asked with slight hesitation.

“Esdeath, well… she’s kind of my student, I taught her Haki, so she’s one of us. Tell us about the situation on the island!”

Rayleigh gave a brief introduction to Esdeath and emphasized that she was trustworthy, allowing Shakky to speak freely.

Shakky nodded. She sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Esdeath, like being targeted by a wild beast when she was young—deadly, terrifying, and making her extremely uneasy.

However, since Rayleigh said it was believable, she believed him.

He began to answer Rayleigh's questions about the information he had gathered on the island over the past few days.

"You probably already know the cause: someone attacked a Celestial Dragon and kidnapped him, demanding a ransom of ten Devil Fruits from the World Government."

"Yeah, I know, that's really audacious! It's practically slapping the World Government in the face."

Rayleigh wasn't afraid of the Celestial Dragons; he dared to fight them, and even dared to kill them, letting them quietly sink to the bottom of the sea.

However, they did not dare to kidnap so openly and then demand ransom from the World Government.

This behavior elevates the seriousness of the matter to a whole new level, turning it into a serious issue of face.

If the World Government can't solve this, what will the member states of the World Government think?

What would the Celestial Dragons of Mary Geoise think?

What will the pirates of the New World think?

This event will escalate into a momentous event comparable to the Pirate King's dying declaration, and may even change the world's thinking.

The threat to world governments is exceptionally great.

Therefore, to put it bluntly, the World Government is absolutely mobilizing all available resources to deal with this audacious madman.

In this situation, Rayleigh could only call it "awesome" and had nothing else to say.

In Rayleigh's view, if the other party dared to show up, they would surely die.

"Yes, this behavior is like rubbing the face of the World Government into the ground; it is the most heinous event in history."

Shakky stated the nature of the incident as defined by the World Government, and then described the countermeasures taken by the World Government in response to the incident.

"Admiral Kizaru arrived within half an hour of the Celestial Dragons being kidnapped. Kuzan should also be on his way. CP0 reportedly dispatched two top-tier fighters. Conservatively, four admirals will arrive in three days."

"Well, Sengoku needs to guard the Marine Headquarters, Akainu needs to guard the New World, Zephyr has retired and is now just an instructor, Garp is probably not willing to get involved in this kind of thing, Kizaru and Kuzan are indeed the full force the Navy can currently muster, and CP0, which bears the main responsibility for this matter, will definitely not contribute less than the Navy in the aftermath. Indeed... it's best to keep the four admirals in check."

Four generals—that's enough power to sweep away any other organization in the world except the World Government itself.

Even the once-fearsome Rocks Pirates fell to a similarly weak force.

Roger, Rayleigh, and Garp joined forces to destroy the Rocks Pirates at God Valley.

Although the three men had all reached the "Marshal" level at the time, in reality, there was virtually no difference between the three marshals and the four generals.

Moreover, the Rocks Pirates back then had many followers, so the battle was an encounter.

This time, however, it was others who walked into a trap that the World Government, though in a hurry, had still managed to set up meticulously.

Unless that person doesn't show up, they are absolutely doomed to die.

Even if it's a way of dealing with it, such as taking the Celestial Dragons hostage or detaining them elsewhere.

But since even Rayleigh could think of this, the World Government would definitely make corresponding preparations to protect the Celestial Dragons' safety through special measures.

"Yes, this place is about to become a battlefield. I plan to take my men back to the Amazon to lay low for a while, and we'll talk again after this is over. What about you, Rayleigh?"

A battle of this caliber would absolutely turn the Sabaody Archipelago into ruins. Her strength is indeed formidable, but it depends on who she's up against. On this kind of battlefield, she lacks confidence in protecting herself, or even the safety of those around her.

Therefore, I plan to leave.

"Yes, let's go together! It wouldn't be good if my identity were discovered here. What about you, Esdeath? Come with us!"

Rayleigh's identity is very sensitive; as the right-hand man of the Pirate King, it would be difficult for him to live a peaceful life after being discovered, which would not align with his goal of guarding the new era.

So he decided to go to the Amazon with Shakky.

Similarly, he hoped Esdeath would come back with him.

Esdeath is someone he admires, a trendsetter of the new era. Although her current strength is no less than his, she is theoretically qualified to participate and has the ability to protect herself.

However, there are no benefits to participating in it, and there is still a certain possibility of perishing there, so it is not worth it.

Esdeath still has a great deal of untapped potential, and it's not worth taking the risk.

Her moment of glory will come when she has fully mastered the craft.

"I'm not leaving. I want to witness firsthand the battle between the world's top experts."

Esdeath has no intention of leaving. So far, she has only met Rayleigh, one of the world's top experts, and she wants to meet more powerful individuals.

Look at the power of this so-called admiral, and even the madman who did such a thing.

When necessary, she is willing to join in and participate in this world's top life-or-death battles.

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to dissuade you. Here, take this. It's Amazon's eternal compass. Come find me in Amazon when the time comes. I still have a technique that requires both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki to reach a high level to use, which I haven't taught you yet. This technique is different from the awakening of Haki. Without a good teacher, it's very difficult to learn."

Rayleigh said this after tossing the Eternal Pointer to Esdeath.

"I understand, teacher."
