# Chapter 159: Attack
"They've really made a good plan."
The many Cadres of the Rocks Pirates couldn't help but sneer as they looked in the direction of G-5 Fortress.
The Rocks Pirates possess an Ear-Ear Fruit Ability User.
His ears can hear all sounds within thirty kilometers.
Although his Devil Fruit Ability is considered auxiliary, his strength is considerable, and he himself is a Mid-Ranking Cadre of the Rocks Pirates.
His ability also allowed him to stand out within the Rocks Pirates and gain importance.
The conversations at G-5 Fortress were completely intercepted by the Rocks Pirates.
Reaching this level, they are basically no longer political novices who understand nothing.
Understanding the style of the World Government and the Marines, they could roughly guess the World Government's general objective.
The World Government doesn't want the war to stop.
Otherwise, wouldn't all the World Government's forces have come for nothing?
Even the Five Elders care about face.
Coming here and then leaving without doing anything would also have a significant impact on their prestige within the World Government.
At the very least, there will definitely be Celestial Dragons complaining to them.
Furthermore, there is a main reason.
That is, Saint Warcury and Saint Mars, who are leading this time, and even the group they represent, the Five Elders.
Have already prepared for the sacrifice of young Celestial Dragons among the God's Knights Reserve.
Or rather, they are happy to see this scene and hope for sacrifices in their hearts.
This is an opportunity to sound the alarm in the hearts of those Celestial Dragon elites, give them pressure, and make them grow up faster.
There are fewer and fewer outstanding talents among the Celestial Dragons.
Or rather, the Celestial Dragons do not lack talents with great talent.
After all, the bloodline of the twenty Kings who established the World Government nearly eight hundred years ago flows within all Celestial Dragons.
It's just that fewer and fewer Celestial Dragons are willing to focus on individual strength.
Currently, among the Holy Knights, apart from a few monsters from top families, most of the rest are from the collateral branches of various Celestial Dragon Families.
They are also Celestial Dragons, but their status is not as high as the main branches who control the family's power.
As collateral branches, they need to strive to gain higher status.
Becoming a Guard Member of the Holy Knights is the fairest path.
Going further, they can even become Five Elders.
Among the Five Elders throughout history, the vast majority even came from collateral branches.
The World Government's resources are limited, and internal competition is also fierce.
The Rocks Pirates can absolutely be said to be the World Government's greatest enemy in the past few hundred years.
In the eyes of the Five Elders, if the lives of a few Celestial Dragons can awaken the World Nobles in the Holy Land, it is completely worth it.
The Five Elders' ruthlessness is beyond expectation; they are ruthless towards others and also towards their own people.
However, in the final analysis, they still hope the World Government can last longer.
After nearly eight hundred years, at least on the surface, the Celestial Dragons have become a unified entity.
Through marriage alliances and exchange of interests.
The larger the Faction, the more likely a sudden collapse is due to internal disintegration rather than external force.
That the World Government has been able to maintain itself until now has actually exceeded many people's expectations.
As the actual rulers of the World Government, the Five Elders have played an indispensable role in this.
Even without Celestial Dragon sacrifices, having witnessed the terrifying strength of the Rocks Pirates, they will work harder in the future, thereby influencing other Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land.
This is the Five Elders' plan.
"It seems unavoidable then."
Newgate was a bit displeased.
Clearly, they were the side with the advantage, yet the initiative in the war seemed to be in the World Government's hands.
One must know, they had already prepared for the war to end, and numerous Affiliated Pirate Groups had already left the Battlefield and scattered.
They had thought the war would end once the World Government's reinforcements finished rescuing the Allied Forces.
Facts proved they were wrong.
Even Hades didn't understand why the World Government was doing this.
Are they really not afraid of Celestial Dragon sacrifices?
Surely the World Government isn't unable to bear just the result of a defeat?
This isn't the first time, after all.
Compared to the World Government's defeat, news of Celestial Dragon sacrifices would truly shock the entire world and strike a blow to the World Government's prestige.
News of the World Government's failure can be concealed through public opinion and twisted to weaken the impact of the event.
However, the sacrifice of Celestial Dragons is something absolutely impossible to conceal.
Once it erupts, it will spread throughout the entire world in a short time.
The fear and hatred towards the Celestial Dragons have reached a bone-deep level over the past nearly eight hundred years.
Unlike when Rocks D.
Xebec killed a Celestial Dragon many years ago, news of that incident was completely sealed off.
But now, on this Battlefield, who knows how many people and how many Factions are secretly watching.
If Hades knew the Five Elders' plan, he would definitely praise them.
These are people who do great things.
The Five Elders have realized the World Government's problems and are thinking of ways to implement solutions, which is very rare.
However, rebuilding after destruction isn't that simple, nor can such drastic methods be used.
They can only proceed step by step.
The eyes of the Cadres fell upon Rocks D.
Xebec.
Rocks, instead, looked at Hades, seemingly wanting to hear Hades' opinion.
Since Rocks wanted to hear his thoughts, Hades naturally wouldn't hide them.
"Excluding the World Government's reinforcements, the Allied Forces have almost lost their combatant strength."
"Once Kong and the others recover, the pressure we face will become even greater."
Saying this, Hades looked at the Cadres around him.
Just now, they had all eaten their fill.
"Our stamina has pretty much recovered now."
With sufficient food, recovering stamina is a simple matter, especially for monsters like them.
The food they eat can be quickly converted into stamina.
The technique of Marine Six Styles Life Return is, to be precise, control over one's body.
Strengthening stomach digestion is just a basic operation for monsters like them.
Hades' meaning was already very clear.
The Rocks Pirates now possess the strength to fight and do not fear war.
Apart from a few Cadres who needed to recover from injuries, most only had minor injuries and did not affect their combatant strength.
"Hahahaha! Then let's go! Don't give the Allied Forces a chance." Rocks D.
Xebec laughed heartily, his body erupting with a terrifying aura that soared into the sky.
It seemed like the horn of war.
The many pirate warships of the Rocks Pirates prepared one by one, rolling out artillery pieces and aiming their muzzles towards G-5 Fortress.
At the same time, they slowly approached G-5 Fortress.
So what if the World Government's Support Unit has arrived? The remaining Allied Forces are mostly dead weight who have lost their combatant strength.
Without food replenishment, how much stamina can they recover in such a short time?
The Rocks Pirates moved.
The massive commotion was discovered by G-5 Fortress immediately.
And now, this is not something that can be simply blocked.
Hades does not rely on his ability.
For most enemies on this Battlefield, he treats them as whetstones to train himself, except for some Strongmen who are much more powerful than him.
