He was about to walk down an alley toward the port and disappear but at that moment a sudden voice stopped his walking.
"Wait...hero-sama"
A small voice called out. It was so clear that even Imu stopped walking.
He did not turn around, but he waited for that person.
A little girl maybe seven years old had run out from the crowd. Her mom tried to stop her but the girl wasn't scared of the person who saved her town few moments ago. She thought the man was amazing because he made the bad pirates go away. She stood behind his big, dark cloak. The whole town held its breath.
"Hero-sama, You saved us from the bad pirates," the little girl said, her voice shaking a little. "can please tell me your name, please....?"
This was a problem for Imu. Names are important. His real name is Imu but if he tell her this name this might cause problem in future for him and can also ruin his future plans.
He stood silently for a moment. He needed a simple name that did not mean much. He looked out at the big blue sea.
After a few seconds, he finally answered her question. His voice was quiet and calm but everyone in the square could hear it.
"UMI" he said "That's my name."
Umi The meaning of this name is "the sea."
The townspeople were quiet for a second. Then, The townspeople started celebrating again, even louder than before! The name gave them something to cheer for.
"Umi, His name is Umi." the baker shouted, throwing his hands in the air.
"Thank you, Umi-sama!" a young woman yelled, bowing down low to show respect towards him.
Soon, the whole town was chanting his new name. "Umi, Umi, Umi"
Imu didn't stay to listen. He kept walking down the alley. The sound of people cheering his fake name followed him for a while. He walked until he was far away from the town and the happy people.
After a half hour he found a cliff on the other side of the island. The only sound was the wind and the waves crashing on the rocks below.
He stood at the edge of the cliff and closed his eyes.
He used his one of his Devil Fruit ability. It was like a super-powered telephone in his mind that could call anyone which he make a contract with that person which includes both Gorosei and holy knights. He sent a secret telepathic call far across the ocean to his own house in Mary Geoise.
In just a few seconds, five people answered the call in his head. They were the Five Elders one of the most powerful people in the world.
A scared voice spoke in his mind. "Lord Imu. We are here", said Saint Jaygarcia Saturn.
Imu's mind-voice was cold. "Tell me about the Revolutionary Army in the North Blue. That's why I stay here in north blue"
Imu thought back. "The problem is getting bigger and bigger.I want a list. Which kingdoms in the North Blue have taken over by Revolutionaries already ? Tell me now."
There was a short pause. Then a calm voice spoke. It was Saint Topman Warcury. "Yes my Lord. People of Four kingdoms have killed their kings and also killed entire royal and nobles families. They are no longer part of the World Government."
"What are their names?" Imu demanded.
"Yes Great IMU," Warcury said right away. "They are the Lvneel Kingdom, the Sortis Kingdom, the Balsamico Kingdom, and the last one is the Fresta Kingdom."
Imu listened. Four kingdoms. Four problems he had to fix.
'So much mess to clean up,' he thought.
Imu was not happy after hearing this. He had learned that four kingdoms were taken over by the Revolutionaries. This made his perfect world messy. He was angry that his subordinate, the Five Elders were so bad at their jobs.
"Tell me about the leaders of the Revolutionary Army in the North Blue," Imu's mind-voice commanded. "Where is Karasu?"
Hearing this the Five Elders were very scared because they don't where is he bur they had to answer this question quickly.
One of elder, Saint Marcus Mars spoke "The leader Karasu is very hard to find. We last saw him in the New World a few weeks ago but then we lost his traces. We think he is still there but we don't know where."
"So you lost him," Imu said, "You guys are useless."
Another Elder Saint Jaygarcia Saturn quickly tried to say something helpful. "But the other leader Jiron, he is still in the North Blue. He is probably in one of the four fallen kingdoms teaching the people their idea of revolution."
Imu thought about this. Karasu is the big boss, but he was far away at this moment. Jiron was right here. If Imu got rid of Jiron, it would be a big problem for the Revolutionaries.
"Okay," Imu's mind-voice said, giving a new order. "In seven days, send a few ships to the all four Kingdoms. Fill them with your best agents from Cipher Pol. I will lead these ships."
The five minds on the other side were shocked. Saint Topman Warcury carefully asked, "My Lord… you are going to lead a mission yourself? This has never happened before."
"I am tired of your failing," Imu's mind-voice said. "I will do it myself to make sure it is done right. Tell the agents what I look like." He paused. "And tell them my name is UMI and I am the leader of this mission."
The Five Elders were so shocked they couldn't speak. The secret king of the whole world was going to lead a team of spies and use a fake name? They could not understand why. They were too afraid to ask any questions because they still remember last time 2 days ago they tried to ask him question but that was not end up very well for them.
After a long silence Saturn answered "As you wish Imu-sama. We will do exactly what you say. The ships and the agents will be ready."
"Good," Imu said, and he ended the communication. The Five Elders were left alone in their room, thinking about the strange and scary orders they were just given.
Two wings grew out of his back. They stretched out big and strong With one powerful flap of his new wings and fly towards sky.
