"Saint Charlos, hurry! I'll hold them off!"
The CP0 agent choked down his fear and stepped in front of Charlos, his voice trembling.
"What a loyal dog. In that case, goodbye!"
Kaito looked at the CP0 agent blocking his path.
He casually flicked his right hand, and a [Samadhi Fire] shot out.
The moment the flames touched the agent, he turned to ash and vanished before everyone's eyes.
"Wow! Kai-chan, that flame of yours looks so scary! Even Raphael warned me to be careful around it!"
Hearing Rimuru's words, Kaito smiled smugly and explained.
"This is the super, super, super low-tier version of Samadhi Fire. With my current strength, I'm only using a tiny fraction of its power!"
"A tiny pinch of the true Samadhi Fire could easily destroy this entire Pirate World!"
"Wow! So Kai-chan has moves that powerful!"
"Hmph! Keep it low-key, low-key!"
"You commoners, how dare you ignore me! I'll make you all into... Ah ah ah!"
Kaito didn't wait for Charlos to finish before kicking him.
"Damn it, don't you people know how to say anything else? It's always 'commoner' or 'slave' every single day!"
"Anyone would think your vocabulary has regressed! He... tui!"
Kaito looked down at Charlos, who he had kicked to death, and spat on the corpse in annoyance.
"Ew! Kai-chan, you're so disgusting!"
"Cough cough... It was involuntary, involuntary... Alright, let's go meet this so-called Imu."
"Oh! I'm curious about Imu too. The Pirate World hadn't even ended when I died!"
Rimuru said excitedly after hearing this.
"Sorry! Not only had it not ended when you died, it also hadn't ended when I was sent by truck-kun!"
"Hehe!"
As these idlers continued making their way toward the Room of Flowers, the battle throughout Mary Geoise grew more intense.
Every CP0 agent sent to hold back the Jura-Tempest Federation's forces was killed with ease.
When the Gorosei received this news, they could no longer stay seated.
"How is this possible! How could this happen!"
"Damn the Jura-Tempest Federation! Have the God's Knights not been deployed yet?"
Warcury tapped his staff repeatedly against the floor, asking with barely contained anxiety.
"Figarland Garling is already gathering the personnel still stationed in Mary Geoise. The others have been notified to return!"
Mars replied with a grave expression.
"Hmph, they live in luxury every other day, and even now they are this slow to move!"
"If they don't get here soon, the enemy will break into Pangea Castle!"
Warcury made no effort to hide his frustration with the God's Knights after hearing this.
If the God's Knights were not directly subordinate to Imu-sama, he would have had them punished long ago.
Instead he was left like this, fuming and with nowhere to direct it.
Just as he was about to send someone to rush them again, the sound of a door being kicked open reached the Gorosei's ears.
Bang...
"Hahaha! They're not just about to break in. This great master has already arrived!"
"Who's there!"
"It's your great master Veldora! Seeing this great master before you, aren't you going to surrender obediently?"
The newcomer was none other than Storm Dragon Veldora Tempest, who had disappeared after Kaito kicked him into the teleportation array.
"It's you!!!"
The Gorosei looked at the new arrival with grave expressions. They had already seen him in action during the live broadcast.
A single attack from him had caused one-third of the Marine fleet to vanish, and they had not expected him to show up here as well.
"Might I ask your name, esteemed sir? I believe we can come to an arrangement!"
Hearing Warcury's words, Veldora looked at the man with a puzzled expression.
"What arrangement! And didn't this great master just tell you his name!"
Looking at Veldora's confused face, Warcury decided this one was not very sharp.
He began to try his luck.
"I suspect your treatment in the Jura-Tempest Federation isn't all that good, is it?"
"Otherwise, someone with your strength wouldn't be stuck in a position with no real power!"
"If you are willing to join the World Government, we can back you to become the King of the Jura-Tempest Federation!"
"Not only that, we can even make an exception and grant you the title of Celestial Dragon, a noble recognized by the entire world!"
"Isn't that far better than your current situation?"
Veldora had thought he might as well listen to what they had to say since he had nothing better to do anyway.
But the more he listened, the more uneasy he felt. What nonsense. Make me the King of the Jura-Tempest Federation?
That Rimuru was always trying to get rid of the title of King herself.
Even now, no one was willing to take it on, and these people actually wanted to dump it on him.
And when had his treatment ever been bad?
He had manga to read every single day, and occasionally there was something new from Eromanga Sensei to look forward to.
"You actually want to bring harm upon this great master. I see I cannot let any of you live!"
"Take this! Hadouken!"
Veldora threw an uppercut, sending the still-chattering Warcury flying.
And just like that, Warcury was knocked out cold before he even had a chance to transform.
As for immortality, that was nothing but a joke in front of the Storm Dragon.
"You bastard, you're asking for death!"
"Kill him!"
Seeing Warcury taken out in a single blow, and realizing their immortality seemed to no longer be working, the other Gorosei had no choice but to attack despite the dread rising inside them.
"[Bakotsu]!" "[Sandworm]!" "[Itsumade]!" "[Fengxi]!"
As the Gorosei unleashed their abilities one after another, four enormous monsters of different shapes appeared before Veldora's eyes.
"Hahaha! You want to transform? This great master can do that too!"
As Veldora's laughter boomed across the room, his massive body seemed to be pushed outward by an invisible force, expanding without end.
At the same time, a layer of vivid light erupted from within him and wrapped tightly around his form.
When the light faded, Veldora's colossal dragon body stood in full display before the Gorosei.
"Roar!!!"
With a thunderous dragon's roar, the expressions of everyone in the room fell apart.
They had not expected Veldora to also be able to transform.
"Im... impossible, he actually has a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit!"
Mars, who had transformed into his Itsumade form, had a flash of terror cross his face.
"Huh? Devil Fruit user? This great master is nothing of the sort. This great master is the great Storm Dragon Veldora!"
Hearing the Gorosei mistake him for a Devil Fruit user, Veldora roared back in annoyance.
"No matter what kind of dragon you are, you will not leave this place alive today. Find a way to hold him back!"
"As long as the God's Knights launch their attack, everything will be fine!"
If Kaito had been there to witness this, he probably would have burst out laughing.
Oh, so you are waiting for reinforcements now?
The last person who waited for a rescue that never came ended up taking his own life in a basement somewhere.
"God's Knights? In this great master's eyes, they are all trash! I am done talking nonsense with you. All of you can go die for this great master!"
With that, Veldora raised his head, and a terrifying Dragon's Breath began to build in his throat.
"Roar! [Storm Breath]!"
The Dragon's Breath erupted from Veldora's jaws and instantly engulfed the Gorosei before him...
