And each amount is a huge sum of money!
If the Heavenly Tribute is taken by the Rocks Pirates, then the World Government may really come to an end!
"Did that guy from the news king do it?"
"Send CP0 immediately to investigate the location of the news king, and then let Kong send someone to deal with the news king!"
The Five Elders thought of someone!
Only the news king of the dark world could do such a thing.
Daring to publish this kind of thing to the whole world and make the World Government and the navy lose face, the news king does not need to exist.
"Report... report to the Five Elders!"
"According to our undercover agent in the dark world, the news king left his base two days ago and went to the New World!"
"According to the latest information, he should have gone to Hachinosu and is protected by Rocks!"
Soon, CP0 got the news back!
After all, there are undercover CP0 agents in the dark world as well.
Basically, through a Den Den Mushi, the message was clear.
Hearing this, the Five Elders were furious!
Protected by Rocks, the World Government would be powerless to touch him!
If another major event happens in the future, the World Government will not be able to cover up the news as it did before!
Damn Rocks Pirates!
"Mistake, it's a huge mistake!"
"The edge of the Rocks Pirates can't be contained!"
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the Five Elders!
Rocks, [The God Slayer] Rono, plus Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, and other squad leaders!
The hard power of the Rocks Pirates is faintly overwhelming the World Government!
Especially that [The God Slayer] Rono, who has high talent and rapidly growing strength!
Something not seen in eight hundred years of history!
Give him more time, and he might grow into a monster like Rocks again!
At that point, the World Government would have to face two Rocks!
Horrifying!
Thinking of this, the Five Elders were full of horror!
"Damn, it would have been better if we had listened to Kong's opinion at that time!"
Thinking of this, the Five Elders regretted it and sighed repeatedly!
When they were in the Golden City, they did not dare to pursue the Rocks Pirates because they were worried about the lives of the Celestial Dragons!
As a result, the nine Celestial Dragons still died!
Hateful!
If at that time, they had gone all out to kill [The God Slayer], they wouldn't be so worried now!
"The most dangerous moment has come."
"It's time to ask that person!"
The Five Elders were silent for a long time, and finally, a curly-haired Elder suggested.
"Really... do you want to ask Lord Imu?"
"If we ask for instructions rashly like this, will it make that person angry?"
After hearing this proposal, the expressions of the remaining four Five Elders changed drastically!
Lord Imu, the true king of this world!
A being who has survived for eight hundred years!
An immortal!
Controls the [National Treasure] located in the deepest part of Mary Geoise!
For people outside, the Celestial Dragons are the descendants of gods, and the Five Elders are the highest authority in the world!
But only the Five Elders know!
Just like the relationship between the navy and the Celestial Dragons.
The Five Elders are Lord Imu's five dogs!
There is only one true god in this world!
That's Lord Imu!
The Five Elders' role is to help Lord Imu govern the world and maintain the balance of power.
Another is to cover up some truth about the world from 800 years ago.
Now, under their governance, there is a challenger who can shake the foundation of the World Government!
Does Lord Imu feel that their governance is inadequate?
These are the reasons why the Five Elders are afraid.
"Forget it, let's go and ask for instructions now."
"When that Rono grows up, it will be too late."
"It's also time for a big purge."
After thinking for a while, the Five Elders decided to ask Lord Imu for instructions.
Soon, in the ancient city of Mary Geoise.
On the Empty Throne that symbolizes the highest power in the world.
There was suddenly one more person.
The person was wearing a black robe, covering their body and face.
Only a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle could be seen!
The whole body exuded a terrifying aura, even more terrifying than Rocks!
It was the king of the world, Imu!
"See Lord Imu!"
The Five Elders, who symbolize the highest power in the world, knelt down respectfully.
"I've heard about the current state of the world."
On the throne, Imu's voice came, and it was unclear whether it was a man or a woman, and there was no emotion at all.
It was as if the person under the black robe was not human at all.
"What happened to your right arm?"
Imu's tone suddenly changed, looking at the right arm of one of the Five Elders.
There was only an empty sleeve there.
"I... Lord Imu, it was cut down by a pirate."
When asked by Imu, the voice of the sword-wielding Elder trembled.
