# Chapter 151: Life and Death
The World Government's Support Legion advanced with great momentum all the way.
Led by two Five Elders as Top Tier Combatants, and ten God's Knights Reserves as high-level combatants, it included numerous CP0 Agents, CP9 Agents.
The hidden forces of various Celestial Dragon Families.
Elite combatants within the Army.
As well as some Strongmen of unknown identity.
Just the chance to join this Support Legion operation alone was something countless people fought tooth and nail for.
Whether it was the Five Elders or the God's Knights Reserves, they all shared one identity: Celestial Dragons.
And for those people and Factions who truly understood the group known as World Nobles.
They were the elite among the Celestial Dragons, the Celestial Dragons among Celestial Dragons.
Their numbers were extremely small, totaling no more than fifty.
One must know that the entire group of Celestial Dragons numbered over three thousand in total.
In the current group of World Nobles, these minorities were, in a sense, the anomalies.
After possessing absolute power, even with great Potential, there were simply too few Celestial Dragons who could endure loneliness and train diligently.
After all, they already possessed everything.
Becoming stronger was of little use; Agents, Family Forces, and the Marines would protect them, resolving all troubles before they could threaten them.
As this situation persisted, the number of Celestial Dragons willing to become stronger naturally decreased.
Each and every one was incredibly precious.
And they were all God's Knights Reserves.
Among the Patriarchs of the World Government's nineteen Celestial Dragon Families, more than half were ordinary people without strength.
However, they relied not on strength, but on wisdom, and were likewise elites among the Celestial Dragons.
Even if they didn't have sufficient Potential, as long as they were willing to become stronger, the World Government would provide them with a top-tier Devil Fruit.
This was a great opportunity to connect with the Celestial Dragons.
Once they gained the recognition of the Celestial Dragons, both for themselves and their Families, they could obtain extremely high gains.
Above the Red Line, there existed not only World Nobles and Slaves.
There were also many Nobles and Family Forces present.
This had accumulated over nearly eight hundred years.
Royal Families whose kingdoms were destroyed, Nobles who migrated here.
Political Families with World Government Official backgrounds.
Military Families involved with the Army and Holy Land Guard.
Families attached to the World Nobles.
Families that rose during a certain period.
There were simply too many.
The foundation of the Celestial Dragon Families was terrifying, and the foundation of these Red Line Factions was also considerable.
Skilled at seizing opportunities, they were eager to grasp this chance, which could completely elevate their Families to the next level.
One must know that normally, these elite Celestial Dragons were completely inaccessible to them.
Those they could mostly interact with were ordinary Celestial Dragons.
Strange and rare items, doing things for them, providing rare Slaves – these were their ways of getting close to the Celestial Dragons.
Even most Slave Catching Groups around the World had the background of these World Government Factions behind them.
These Factions were also part of the World Government's foundation; if each Faction sent out a capable combatant, gathered together they would be a terrifying force.
Along the way, no one could stop them.
Pirates wandering in the New World Front, once encountered, could not escape the destiny of being slaughtered.
The World Government's Support Legion possessed a host of powerful combatants, carrying a large number of warships and supplies to support the war.
One hundred warships, if one ship carried a thousand people, could only carry a maximum of one hundred thousand people.
This meant the World Government's bottom line was one hundred thousand people.
Adding the approximately fifty warships that might still remain on the Front Line.
They could bring back a maximum of one hundred fifty thousand people.
In fact, the number of people they could bring back would definitely be much less; this was just an ideal target.
The World Government had made its move; this news quickly began to spread throughout the World.
And only truly powerful Factions understood what kind of force the World Government had dispatched.
Compared to how strong their strength truly was?
What truly needed to be concerned about was their identity.
Whether it was the Five Elders or the God's Knights Reserves, they were all Celestial Dragons, all part of the World Government's hidden foundation.
If memory served correctly, this was the first time in nearly eight hundred years that such a large-scale hidden fighting force had been dispatched.
In the past, at most one or two Five Elders would make a move.
And such opportunities wouldn't happen twice in a hundred years.
This was a good opportunity for them to probe and guess how strong the World Government's foundation truly was.
Interesting, the World Government was only now truly entering the fray.
Compared to the World Government accepting defeat, suffering huge losses, and still hiding its fighting force.
This situation was what they hoped to see.
Even if the World Government's losses were not that great, and the Rocks Pirates could not inflict heavy damage on the Allied Forces or the World Government, or even if the Rocks Pirates' strength was reduced.
The failure of the Rocks Pirates was not considered a failure.
The exposure of the World Government's foundation was considered a success.
What truly needed to be feared was always the unknown.
After nearly eight hundred years, how strong was the World Government's foundation truly?
Once they knew the approximate depth, they would not be so afraid.
Those neutral Factions who were dissatisfied with the World Government but had not taken concrete action would also join in.
"How weak these Pirates are."
The Support Legion encountered countless Pirates along the way.
Without exception, they were destroyed by the curious God's Knights Reserves, treated as training for them.
Like those ordinary Celestial Dragons, these God's Knights Reserves also possessed arrogant, disdainful personalities, looking down on everyone except their peers.
Or rather, almost all Celestial Dragons were like this!
"Don't be careless. These Pirates are just ordinary guys; defeating them doesn't prove anything."
"The real monsters are basically all in the Rocks Pirates, on the War Frontline. When the time comes, you will all meet opponents."
"In the real great battle, some of you might die."
"Don't blame me for not warning you. When the real battle begins, I can't look out for you."
"If you really die, all I can do is avenge you."
Seeing the arrogant appearance of these younger generation World Noble members, Saint Warcury couldn't help but frown.
He was very dissatisfied with their attitude.
Did they really think this was a pleasure trip?
The protective forces sent by their Families, the Agents, and the elites from various Factions who joined were indeed strong.
This did not mean they were not in danger of losing their lives.
Especially since they were about to face the Rocks Pirates, this reckless Criminal Army.
The Rocks Pirates would not care what their identity was.
One must know that the Rocks Pirates had a history, specifically the war that the Rocks Pirates instigated after Jaeger's death.
Rocks D.
Xebec, in order to get revenge, personally killed a Celestial Dragon who was traveling in the Four Seas.
This news had long been forcibly suppressed by the World Government.
Once exposed, the negative impact would be too great, something the World Government would absolutely not allow.
Even most Celestial Dragons within the Celestial Dragon ranks did not know this matter had occurred.
At that time, the World Government was unable to support the Marines in a great battle against the Rocks Pirates.
The casualties Jaeger had inflicted on them were simply too great.
Continuing the war would only result in more losses.
So they endured it.
Regardless! Rocks D.
Xebec was already on the World Government's kill list.
The World Government's foundation of rule was undoubtedly shaken.
In Saint Warcury's heart, he also had some bad thoughts; one must always plan for the worst.
