I, The Celestial Dragon, Rule The Heavens Through The Double Gate-Chapter 205: Just Kidding, On Sengoku

Momonga’s seemingly casual remark made the two girls who had initially refused suddenly widen their eyes in disbelief, staring at Esdeath.

Are you serious?!

This woman was strong enough to defeat Marshal Sengoku?

Everyone found it hard to believe.

Marshal Sengoku was as fearsome as the legendary hero Garp. The idea that someone like him could be beaten by the woman standing before them felt like a joke—utterly impossible.

Sengoku, who had been quietly listening, immediately stiffened when he heard Momonga’s words.

He didn’t want anyone to know that he had lost to Esdeath.

That damn loudmouth... saying something like that right to his face? Was he begging for a beating?

Only then did Momonga realize his slip. He quickly covered his mouth and shot a glance at Sengoku.

When he saw the dark, stormy look in Sengoku’s eyes, a chill ran down his spine.

The female soldiers, seeing Sengoku’s reaction, instantly believed what Momonga had said. The shock in their hearts was beyond description.

Marshal Sengoku... actually lost? Is this real?!

Esdeath, for her part, remained composed. Her blunt honesty stood in stark contrast to the moment.

With a faint, confident smile, she said, "Don’t worry about it. He lost to me last night—he’s no match for me. So, just stay by my side. As long as you behave, I’ll make sure you all survive."

Her words were like adrenaline to the room.

Everyone’s eyes lit up with excitement and hope.

They hadn’t expected Esdeath to be so powerful. If she could defeat someone like Sengoku, then she was truly someone they could rely on.

At last—they had found a real protector.

Meanwhile, in Wano Country...

Zagola spread his massive wings, soaring swiftly through the clouds.

This time, Kaos had come to Wano alone.

The current Wano hadn’t changed much yet. Fewer factories had been built, and it still retained some of its original look. However, Onigashima had already been constructed.

Zagola carried Kaos as they flew over the island.

From above, Kaos could clearly see the present-day Wano.

Interesting.

It looked completely different from how it was portrayed in the original story. Though the Beasts Pirates had taken control, it had only been for a year or two.

Kaos leapt from the sky, allowing Zagola to hover above.

Zagola obeyed, staying aloft.

Kaos plummeted, gaining speed as he dove straight down like a meteor.

The roar of wind filled his ears, but the sensation was thrilling.

As he broke through the clouds, he spotted Onigashima far below.

Descending rapidly, Kaos could see smoke rising across many areas of Wano.

Clearly, the battle from the previous night had been intense.

The lingering aura of power still filled the air around the island.

But Kaos ignored it all. His target was Onigashima.

After a brief flight, he plunged downward like a sword stabbing the earth.

On Onigashima

Queen appeared in high spirits. Inside the grand hall, Queen had changed into a new outfit, looking far more intimidating and commanding than before.

The hall was filled with a lavish spread of delicacies, and the aroma was mouthwatering.

Lining the left and right sides of the hall were eighteen members of the CP organization.

Each one radiated overwhelming power—even the weakest among them was at Vice Admiral level.

Queen didn’t dare relax for even a second. He smiled respectfully.

He knew just how terrifying these people were—and even more terrifying were the powers behind them.

If he so much as resisted, he’d be erased instantly.

So, not only did he have to please these CP agents, he also had to watch every word that came out of his mouth.

One wrong sentence, and if it reached Kaos...

He’d be dead.

"Come, come! Thank you for your help last night," Queen said cheerfully. "Please, enjoy these dishes to your heart’s content!"

He gestured for everyone to dig in.

But no one moved. They merely glanced at the food without touching it.

They were waiting for someone.

The silence was deafening.

Queen began to sweat nervously. He couldn’t understand what was going on—why hadn’t they started eating?

His subordinates looked equally nervous, wiping cold sweat from their foreheads.

They had witnessed the terrifying strength of these people just the night before.

When they arrived, they had coldly executed everyone on the list. Even those not on it—if they dared resist—they were immediately decapitated.

It had been horrifying.

Only then did the subordinates understand how dangerous these people were—and just how vast and terrifying the World Government’s influence truly was.

These men were Queen’s most trusted, and none of them dared reveal Queen’s collusion with the World Government.

They knew that doing so would guarantee a brutal death.

As they stood frozen, unsure of how to serve their guests...

Suddenly—the hall’s doors exploded open from a powerful blast.

The shockwave startled everyone. In an instant, they all drew their weapons and aimed at the entrance.

But what they saw next left them speechless.

A radiant figure stood on the threshold, glowing with divine light as he walked slowly inside.

He looked like an angel descending from the heavens.

Everyone exchanged stunned glances, unable to believe what they were seeing.
