How Powerful is His Influence?

"The Shichibukai will be abolished immediately after this battle!"

"Such an unstable force not only fails to assist at critical moments but also creates trouble!" Nusjuro spoke slowly, his eyes gleaming with sharpness.

"However, before that, we must first eliminate Bob!"

"Yes, who would have thought that the Revolutionary Army was also a force secretly arranged by Bob? What a bunch of damned rebels!" Ju Peter said through gritted teeth.

"Hmph! Over the years, we thought Bob might gradually fade into the annals of history, just like those monster who appeared over the past eight hundred years!"

"Only now do we realize that, although he hasn't shown himself, he has been opposing our World Government all along, building such a massive force!"

"The Revolutionary Army, Kaido, Whitebeard, Tesoro, Enel,..." Warcury spoke in an extremely steady voice.

"Probably... those Shichibukai are too!" Marcus Mars exhaled deeply, trying to calm his uneasy emotions.

Choosing to betray them at this moment, when the situation of the battle is not yet fully clear, is a very unwise decision.

The fact that these Shichibukai could act so decisively at this time, without any warning, must mean they had this plan before joining the battle.

One person might act out of self-interest, but three turning traitor simultaneously undoubtedly points to someone behind the scenes.

Given the current alliances, that person is undoubtedly Bob.

"Bastard, this is a conspiracy! These people joining the Shichibukai must have been orchestrated by Bob!"

"Even... these people might have been trained by Bob since childhood!" Hearing Nusjuro words, Saturn beard trembled as he spoke fiercely.

Upon hearing this, the others fell silent.

This was the most likely scenario.

Over the past forty years, they were in the light while Bob was in the shadows.

They had no idea how many forces Bob had secretly arranged.

Even... the forces Bob has revealed now might only be what he intentionally allowed them to see.

Suddenly, the pupils of the Five Elders contracted sharply and in each other's eyes, they saw deep fear.

"No matter how many forces he has, one thing remains unchanged!"

"As long as Bob dies, these people will naturally cease to be a threat!" Nusjuro struggled to stabilize his emotions as he spoke with difficulty.

These words, at this moment, were merely a psychological comfort for himself and his companions.

If their predictions were true and such a massive force remained hidden beneath the surface, the position of the World Government would be in grave danger.

Not to mention now, they have no confidence in capturing Bob!

"Sigh"

"Im-sama's power can be activated at any time!"

"But we should not use it unless absolutely necessary!"

"Let's first try to see if the five of us can kill Bob!" Nusjuro exhaled deeply, speaking with determination.

Hearing this, the other four elders nodded in agreement, showing no objection to Nusjuro words.

The divine power bestowed by Im-sama had never been used in all these years.

This time, unless there was absolutely no other choice, they did not wish to use it either.

"The moment his allies scatter, we will move in to kill him!" Nusjuro flashed a cold glint in his eyes and spoke in a deep voice, his hand tightly gripping the Shodai Kitetsu.

On the other side, Bob looked at the Five Elders, his eyebrows slightly raised.

He had sensed an intense killing intent from them earlier and although it had been present before, it had surged violently just now.

'I'm curious, just how strong are the Elders?' Bob thought to himself, a smile playing on his lips.

He then turned his gaze to the Shichibukai on the city wall.

Doflamingo, Kuma and Hancock were all staring back at him.

Bob gave a slight nod.

In the next moment, the three of them seemed to receive some kind of command.

Doflamingo's wild grin disappeared as his aura surged.

With a light tap of his foot, he leaped into the air.

Kuma, on the other hand, simply jumped down.

Hancock's heart swelled with joy.

After receiving her leader's approval, she could finally leave the company of these detestable men.

In just seconds, the three of them vanished from the city wall and reappeared on Whitebeard's Moby Dick.

"Leader!" they called out respectfully.

Doflamingo and Kuma stood behind Bob, while Hancock squeezed herself right next to him.

Bob's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Hancock, who was now taller than him.

It had to be said, after a few years apart, Hancock's figure had fully matched her original depiction in the story—absolutely stunning.

"The Shichibukai are part of Bob's alliance too?!"

"My God, just how many people are in his alliance?!"

"Do we even stand a chance?"

The marines' are trembling as fear gripped their hearts.

They now understood why Doflamingo had acted so decisively against Moria earlier—it must have been Bob's command.

But even more furious than them were Sengoku and Kong.

"Bastards!" Sengoku's voice was on the verge of breaking, unable to suppress his rage.

If that's how it is, then let it be paid in blood!

In the next moment, Sengoku's beard quivered as he looked at the marines on the city wall and roared in a booming voice.

"Fire the cannons!"

Whoosh!!

Upon hearing their Fleet Admiral's command, the soldiers on the wall froze for a moment before quickly snapping into action.

The artillerymen stationed on the steel wall immediately began their work.

"Boom! Boom!"

The sound of cannons firing echoed as flames erupted across the massive steel wall.

A dense barrage of cannonballs rained down towards the pirates.

Seeing this, Whitebeard who had already charged into Marineford, narrowed his eyes.

His right arm bulged as he swung it upward with all his might.

"Crack!"

A deafening sound rang out as a violent force surged forward from the shattered space, as if countless invisible blades slashed in all directions.

The black cannonballs were sliced in mid-air before exploding.

Intense flames illuminated the scene, instantly igniting the atmosphere of battle.

Both pirates and marines fought with everything they had, charging forward in the chaos of Marineford.
