Chapter 151
Forest of Seductions.
After a short conversation, the guys finally understood Sanji's position. Although Nami was a little angry, she understood him. Yet she, too, once had to do things that she did not like. Remembering his native village, the arrival of the captain and the death of Arlong, Nami involuntarily sighed ... How long ago it was.
- Well, where are we going? Charlie asked with a smile.
Sanji looked into the distance, to a place where the sky trembled and lightning roared. There was a huge black crater high in the air, and two monsters were fighting right below it. A fire burned in that place, black and red lightning flashed. Just looking, even from this distance, Sanji felt a slight shiver. The power of any of these attacks was terrifying ... With a long sigh, the cook turned to his friends and said:
- Since the captain is fighting, it means that we must, now either we will win or we will die.
Troy nodded gravely, after which Nami asked:
- And where are we going?
- To look for opponents, of course, there are many strong people in Big Mom's team. Let's go ... "With a wave of his hand, Sanji began to walk quickly towards the castle. The guys followed him, not lagging behind.

The events on Whole Cake Island shook the world. Even the Gorosei couldn't ignore it, they didn't expect James D. More to do something like this before he could become a Yonko. They underestimated his determination.
Having called an urgent meeting, all the Gorosei began to discuss the situation.
The old man in the white gi looked at everyone and said gloomily:
- This "D", he is even crazier than the rest, either we were mistaken and he is the biggest danger, or we were also mistaken and he just dies.
An old man sitting next to him banged his cane and said:
- This cannot be stopped, if he wins, it will be a disaster. His strength is much more terrible than we expected, in two years to become the level of the Yonko, only a few are capable of such. We already ignored a similar character, I think you all remember what he did?
The elder with the birthmark sighed.
- Rocks D. Shebek was a terrible anomaly, fortunately we were able to solve this problem. If he were instead of Roger, and who knows what would have happened. Although, then the times were different. Now everything is different, Roger shook the world with his words, and every dog strives to find this damn island. At that time, only a few knew about it, but now ...
"If it wasn't for him, there would be no need for Yonko. The youngest Gorosei chuckled.
The old man with the cane grunted:
- Well, now we can lose one, and if he is looking for poneglyphs, then the second will not live long. Of course, it all depends on his strength, but you need to be prepared for the worst. Roger even came with nothing, but he created the Age of Pirates, it's terrible to think what the next one will do. Who has any suggestions?
"Maybe ... Maybe Im-sama will tell you what to do?" - suggested the longest of the elders.
The old man in white shook his head.
"Im-sama certainly knows what's going on, but he never interferes. In addition, after Joy Boy, he never came out, we are just as incapable ...
Remembering those events, all those present had a twisted face. It was because of that person that many of the plans of the World Government were not fulfilled. It was because of him that all of them were now limited and could not get rid of all pirates, from all threats, and establish complete control in the world. Then Gol D. Roger came along and made things worse ...
The old man with the cane touched the scar and grinned:
- Then let's repeat the past ...
An old man with a birthmark frowned and asked:
- What is the past?
The elder did not answer directly, but simply said with a grin:
- Valley of the Gods.
Hearing him, everyone except the old man in gi widened their eyes in surprise, after which the elder banged his cane and said with a smile:
- Since they are so similar, then let them disappear the same way.
The elder in white scratched his chin, then said:
- Your idea is not bad, but who will fight with him? If Linlin dies, only Kaido will remain. Shanks, of course, will not intervene, moreover, he may prevent a similar situation from recurring. Of course, he can be distracted, but then what? You know as well as I do how Kaido treats us. He was one of the few who truly respected Rocks. To do something like that, he would definitely disagree. It was easier to negotiate with Roger, largely thanks to Garp. This time, even if Aokiji or Kong came along, Kaido would not even speak to either of them. - having finished, the elder looked at everyone and continued: - But the plan is not bad, this is the only way to get rid of the boy. Since he does not want to sit peacefully, then, of course, we will answer. We use Kaido, but in a slightly different way ...
After that, all the elders began to prepare a close-up, which in the future will radically change the whole world.

Whole Cake Island. The interior of the castle.
In the great hall, which was already completely destroyed, a terrible battle was taking place. All walls, floor, ceiling were in a terrible state. Only a large red stone with multiple inscriptions stood calmly without a single scratch. Next to him, for more than ten minutes, Sargon and Robin fought against two opponents. The old man had several cuts on his body, and only a few scraps of his shirt remained. His thin, bony body looked pretty comical. But don't look down on this old man with a long beard. His strength was terrifying, the logics of the tree coupled with strong surveillance hacks and weapons made him one of the strongest pirates in the world. Smoothie, being the second strongest Candy General, had a tough time dealing with this nimble old man. In many places on her body there were small wounds that hurt terribly and she could not fight calmly. Pieces of wood wriggled under the skin and caused terrible pain. But the girl with a calm face endured it, although not without difficulty. The terrifying ability of the Sargon Fruit was precisely this ability. He could control his logic, create clones and all kinds of woody creatures.
Smoothie was not much stronger than Jack, but in physical strength and defense, she generally lost big. That is why it was much easier for Sargon to fight her. She was definitely a worthy contender. But the battle was not so easy, Smoothie was not just a Candy General, her strength was not so simple. One wrong step and the old man will lose ...
While the two fought inside the hall, Robin was finally able to deal with her opponent. The clones of Sargon played a decisive role, and she was able to deliver the fatal blow, unnoticed, plunging the blade into the back of the Opera. As for the rest of the pirates, they were defeated already in the first exchange of blows. But for this victory, Robin had to pay too. This guy used his cream along with hard punches, so the girl got beat up pretty well.
Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Robin smiled and looked at Sargon, whose fight was about to come to an end. Very soon, the winner of this clash will be decided, and then, at last, it will become known who will get the poneglyph-pointer.
