Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"All right!"

Sakaski finally interrupted Borsalino.

He took out a document and said:

"Since you care so much about their affairs, why don't you send the report to the World Government and go there in person?"

The report is naturally the approval report of the previous action, although it is very likely to be thrown into the trash by the Five Elders.

But the necessary process cannot be lost.

"Go to the Nankai branch to transfer Gion back, and get the devil fruit from Vice Admiral Tsuru."

"The navy needs absolute combat power. There is no time for Taotu to train anymore."

After saying that, Sakaski waved his hand and told Borsalino to act quickly.

In response, Borsalino had no choice but to take the report and leave the office.

He somewhat regretted eating the Sparkle-Spark Fruit. Sakaski simply treated him as an errand boy.

It is clear that he was never used like this during the Warring States Period.

No, I must talk to Sakaski about salary increase when I come back this time.

As long as the salary is in place, the Four Emperors are not unable to fight.

He is the light.

And on the other side.

In Mary Geoise's Hall of Power, the Five Elders were also discussing Sakaski.

"Are you going to agree to his request?"

The bald Five Elders looked at the fat Five Elders who had hung up the phone and said in a bad tone: "Since when does the World Government need to look at the Navy's face?"

"Then what do you think?" The fat Five Elders said calmly, "You are well aware of the current situation of the Navy. Sakaski's request is not excessive. No, it can be said that it has no impact."

"You are raising a tiger to cause trouble." The bald Five Elders refused to be outdone.

"So you want to fight to the death? You can sanction the navy at any time, but now is the critical moment."

The Fat Five Elders stick to their point of view.

"Alright." The Scarred Five Elders tapped the floor with their canes. "We are not gathered here today to discuss such trivial matters."

Yes, in the eyes of the Five Elders, both Sakaski and the Navy are just small matters.

With eight hundred years of foundation of the World Government, the Navy is just a big ant.

If not for some reason, they could destroy the navy at any time and rebuild an army.

As for why they gathered here today...

The sound of the door opening was heard, and the five elder stars with long beards stepped into the room.

The quarrel stopped and the four Five Elder Stars turned their attention to him.

"Did Lord Yim agree?"

The quick-tempered bald Five Elders asked.

Even though he was the person who feared Im the most before, he still couldn't wait to know the answer at this moment.

But unfortunately, the bearded Five Elders shook their heads.

"Lord Im refused the World Government's request to mobilize Marijoa's forces and rejected the request to take action."

"Fortunately, Lord Yimu did not hold us accountable for mobilizing the Knights of God without authorization."

Two bad news and one good news.

The halls of power fell silent.

After a long while, the golden-haired Five Elders, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke after glancing at everyone:

"Do we need to continue discussing this? Or...it's time to make a decision."

Although the blond Five Elders sounded like they were talking nonsense, to the other four it did not sound that way.

"This is betrayal..." The bearded Five Elders said, "We just need to carry out the adults' decisions. This has been the case with the World Government for eight hundred years."

"It's not that serious." The bald Five Elders said, "After all, the adults didn't personally order us to do this."

"Are you trying to play word games with the adults?" Scarred Five Elders said, "The World Government has always allowed those four things to be scattered all over the world. Every Five Elder has done the same. He must have his reasons."

"But the situation is different now!" The bald Five Elders said, "No one has ever caused such a disturbance in the sea. If they find us first, it will only cause greater chaos. Do you want the people behind us to laugh at us?"

"But sir..." Before the bearded Five Elders could finish their words, the blond Five Elders took over the conversation:

"But this time, the Lord seems to have tacitly agreed with us to do so."

After he said this, the other four people looked at him strangely.

The blond Five Elders said calmly, "The Knights of God have been passed down for 800 years, and except for a few rare wars, they have almost never been used."

"But this time, we activated it ahead of time, but the adults accepted it by default."

"That means that the Lord has guessed our plan, and he is not going to stop it."

The expression of the bearded Five Elders changed, as if he remembered the strange pause of Lord Im when he reported to him.

The blond Five Elders looked at him and said, "I've told you before, don't try to hide or test him in front of the adults. He is the supreme being."

"As long as we are still working for the World Government, the adults won't care about our little actions."

These words seemed to convince the other four people.

The blond Five Elders also spoke again: "Let's vote on whether to continue with the plan. I vote yes."

After a long time, four voices rang out again in the Hall of Power:

"disagree."

"Abstain."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

This is the first time in recent meetings that the Five Elders have expressed different opinions.

But judging by the results, it seems their plans will still go ahead.

But what they don’t know is that their every move is now under the control of one person.

On the void throne of Mary Geoise, a being named Im opened his eyes.

His deep eyes seemed to penetrate all obstacles as he quietly watched the debate in the hall of power.

In his eyes, this meeting was like a child's play.

After a moment, he retracted his gaze and slowly stood up from the throne.

He stepped onto the floor and slowly walked towards a room deep in the hall.

The room was dark, with almost no light coming in.

Ta Ta Ta ~

The sound of footsteps alternated, and Yim walked to the center of the room.

In front of him was an ordinary table.

On the table, there was a straw hat that was too big.

Im's gaze lingered on the straw hat for a moment, then he looked at the wall in front of him.

Dozens of photos are scattered across the wall.

After looking at the photos one by one, Im was rarely lost in memories.

Hundreds of years of time flashed through his mind, but sank in the next moment.

Finally, Im's eyes stopped on a bounty poster. The smiling face in the photo stood out, and the straw hat on his head was very similar to the one on the table.

After a long silence, Yim slowly spoke:

"The time of the prophecy is wrong, and many things don't match up either."

"But... it's almost the same."

"Don't keep me waiting too long, Joey Boy to end it all."
