Chereads / Ballad of the Crows / Chapter 145 - Mary Geoise 3

Chapter 145 - Mary Geoise 3

The entire fleet of Katahara was currently in Red Port, and the small island was packed to the brim.

In the port, there were giant vessels called bondolas made of bubbles that were connected to cables to act as elevators, both for going up and down to Mary Geoise.

But currently, eight bondolas had been implemented, making a total of ten bondolas.

Katahara: It will take us too long to bring everyone up to Mary Geoise...

Laffitte: We're using the balloon ships as transport to bring up as many as we can.

Katahara: Tell Laxus and Dabi to have everyone in one place until further notice.

Laffitte: As you command.

Katahara: Tell Shiki to take care of bringing up the giant division.

As he started to float.

Katahara: I'll head to the Pangea Palace.

At that moment, Katahara began to fly towards the Pangea Castle.

The Pangea Castle was heavily secured, surrounded by a wall with three heavily guarded gates. One of them is the Celestial Dragon Gate, which serves as a passage between the castle and the Domain of the Gods, where the World Nobles live. The other two gates lead to the bondolas that descend to the Red Ports. There are two moats between the gates and the castle with a stretch of land between the inner and outer moat, and there are bridges over them on the gate paths.

Beyond the inner moat is the castle, which is built in a Victorian architectural style. The outer part of the castle extends to the outer limits determined by the outer moat. In front of this space, there is a gigantic outdoor plaza, while the interior of the castle is located behind it. The interior of the castle is completely roofed, although it is built similarly to the external part. Both parts of the castle have towers on their walls, with the towers being taller on the interior part and there is one on the roof, giving the building a unique and solid appearance to those looking at it from the outside.

Katahara was received by members of the CP0 upon arriving at Pangea Castle.

CP0: The Gorosei is waiting for you.

Katahara: Then please show me the way.

While Katahara observed all the castle corridors.

Until he reached the Room of Authority, a room where the Five Elders gather and receive people who want an audience with them.

The CP0 member entered first.

CP0: Uchiha D. Katahara, also known as King Crow, is here as ordered.

Katahara simply entered.

Katahara: It's a pleasure to meet the highest authority of the World Government.

In front of him were the five elders.

The following fanfic is translated:

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn is a burly man with white beard and mustache. He has white dreadlocks over which he wears a black flat hat. He has a scar on the left side of his face, which extends diagonally over the eye. Like two of his Elder companions, his attire consists of a black suit over a dark purple tie and a white collared shirt, as well as black pants. He carries a walking stick.

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn: King Crow, we have information that the traitors are on their way to Mary Geoise.

Saint Nicholas Mercury. This Elder has a big mustache and is partially bald. Before the timeskip, he had a goatee, which he has shaved off after the timeskip. He has a wine stain on his forehead.

Saint Nicholas Mercury: Prepare your men around the 3 gates to fortify them even more.

Saint Ferdinand Jupiter. This Elder is a tall, thin man with pointed mustache and beard, wearing a black suit like his counterparts, with the only difference that he has his sleeves rolled up.

Saint Ferdinand Jupiter: You have to hold on for a few hours, until we take care of using our cards.

Saint Mohanda Marts appears to be the eldest, and he is the only one wearing a white haori tied with a sash leaving his chest exposed, and sandals instead of a black suit and shoes. He carries a sword, which is one of the 12 Supreme Swords. He is also the only one without facial hair and wearing glasses.

Saint Mohanda Marts: You don't need to ask why... just do it.

Saint William Venus. He is apparently the youngest member. He has blonde hair and beard. He has a scar on his chest. He also wears his suit with the shirt buttons open and without a tie.

Saint William Venus: The CP0 Members will back you up, in the meantime.

Saint Nicholas Mercury. This Elder has a big mustache and is partially bald. Before the timeskip, he had a goatee, which he has shaved off after the timeskip. He has a wine stain on his forehead.

Saint Nicholas Mercury: That's all, you may leave.

Katahara stayed analyzing for a few seconds, what just happened.

Katahara: It seems like you're misunderstanding something, Elders... we are ALLIES, I'm not your damn SUBORDINATE.

Saint Mohanda Marts: You will follow our orders, for now...

While observing the Shodai Kitetsu on Katahara's waist.

Katahara: AHAHAHAHA... I'm not good at following orders, maybe because I'm a member of the D tribe.

Saint Nicholas Mercury: Boy, you may think you know something, but you have no idea, just follow orders.

Katahara: The D clan, that you wanted to hide their existence so much, why don't you tell me about the D Clan, then I'll be your subordinate.

Saint Mohada Marst: We will tell you about it in detail, so listen carefully, we'll only say it once...

Katahara nodded his head, preparing to listen carefully to the information that the Elders would provide him about the D Clan.

Saint Mohanda Marts: The D Clan is an ancestral lineage of people with supernatural abilities that has existed in the world for centuries. Members of this clan are known for their great strength and abilities, and have often been feared and persecuted by those who wish to control their power.

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn: Members of the D Clan also have a strange ability to attract dramatic events and change the course of history. Over the years, members of the D Clan

Saint Ferdinand Jupiter: The World Government has been closely monitoring the activity of Clan D for a long time, and we have tried to keep them a secret to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn: However, the Clan D had been pursued and exterminated by the World Government due to their power and the threat they posed to the world's stability. Despite this, some members of the Clan D had survived and continued to fight in the shadows against the World Government.

Saint Nicholas Mercury: Now that you have this information, King Crow, we hope you understand the importance of following our orders and working with us to protect the world.

Saint Mohanda Marts: You may think you know something, but you have no idea, just follow orders.

Saint Ferdinand Jupiter: We'll overlook what you just said, because of the extraordinary situation we're in... but don't push your luck.

Saint Mohanda Marts: Here's the sword you requested...

It was a standard sized curved scimitar with a golden handle and extra grip, as well as a black sheath.

Katahara took the sword and slowly unsheathed it. He observed the black, curved blade, admiring its beauty and power.

Katahara: Ace... Gol D. Roger's sword, one of the twelve Saijo O Wazamono, a black sword, Kokuto.

Saint Mohanda Marts: That's right, the sword that belonged to the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. But be careful, it's one of the most dangerous swords in the world, capable of cutting even the toughest steel.

Katahara: With this, our business is finished... I'm leaving....

As he left the Power Room.

Katahara: Who the hell do those bastards think they are, giving me orders... The Admirals will have a hard time, all those elders are monsters... My commanders will have to support me in this battle.

As he left Pangea Castle and headed towards where his army was.

Katahara ordered all his men to take position around the three gates, the Gate of the Celestial Dragons and the two gates leading to the gondolas that descend to the Red Ports.

Thousands of men were standing next to each gate, aiming all their weapons at the entrance and the sky.

They spent 2 days guarding the three gates.

Until dawn on the 3rd day, the holy land of Mary Geoise could be felt trembling.

Katahara: The final war of this world is about to begin... the ultimate war.
