At this moment, Big Mom was already deeply in awe of Ryōsuke.
She lacked this kind of grand audacity to dare challenge the World Government.
If she weren't already old, she would definitely want to have children with this lord. In truth, she could still bear children now, but she didn't dare say it, afraid of angering him.
She had been traumatized by starvation and never wanted to return to those dark, dizzying days of hunger again.
The three CP0 agents were completely stunned.
It was simply unbelievable. What did this guy just say?
He actually wanted to annihilate the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
Such treasonous words!
The Celestial Dragons were the descendants of the Creators, the World Nobles of exalted status.
Even without counting their hidden forces, the World Government's power was already terrifying with its over a hundred affiliated nations and the Marines.
This Emperor was truly too bold, too arrogant.
It left the leader at a loss for words.
After a few minutes of silence, the lead CP0 agent finally calmed his heart.
"My lord, I will report your words exactly as you said them."
That was all he could do.
He was certain the Five Elders would be furious.
No one on this sea had ever dared to show such disrespect to the Celestial Dragons.
Ryōsuke waved his hand dismissively.
"Go back."
After the three CP0 agents left, Kaido spoke up with excitement.
"My lord, should we immediately prepare for war?"
He believed that once the Five Elders received the news, they would undoubtedly be enraged and might even launch a war.
Big Mom also wore a look of anticipation, ready to throw down.
Ryōsuke remained as calm and breezy as ever.
"What's the rush? Wait until they refuse my demands."
"With me here, there is no need to amass any troops."
"I will personally annihilate them."
He knew there was definitely something wrong with the Celestial Dragons. As for what exactly, he would have to study the ancient history to find out.
Once King returned, he would resurrect Robin's mother, Olvia.
By then, he should be able to uncover the true face of the Celestial Dragons.
Kaido and Big Mom could hardly conceal their excitement, their faces showing a mix of shock and joy.
This lord was truly too domineering.
He was like a god. Perhaps only a god could possess such absolute confidence.
Since the lord didn't ask them to prepare, there was naturally no need to do so.
They obediently took their leave.
Meanwhile, after exchanging weapons and Seastone at double the price, the CP0 agents left the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets and set sail.
Once they were out of the Empire's waters, the lead CP0 member immediately took out a Transponder Snail and dialed the Warrior God of Finance of the Five Elders.
In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, the Warrior God of Finance answered the call.
"Is everything handled?"
"The matters you entrusted to us have been completed, but the Emperor of the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets has a message he asked me to pass on to you," the CP0 agent reported.
The Warrior God of Finance was instantly intrigued.
"Speak."
Taking a deep breath, the CP0 agent relayed the Emperor's words to the Warrior God of Finance.
As he listened to the report, the Warrior God of Finance's expression grew darker and darker. His brow furrowed tightly, and the fury in his heart surged.
It felt as if his chest was about to burst.
He roared furiously into the Transponder Snail.
"What audacity! To be so insane!"
"Did he really say that?"
The last time he had seen such a madman was the Pirate Overlord Rocks, but Rocks had long been annihilated.
"Yes, I didn't miss a single word," the CP0 agent replied.
Hearing this, the Warrior God of Finance immediately hung up the phone.
His face was still pitch black.
The CP0 agent certainly wouldn't lie to him.
It seemed this Emperor of the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets was truly a lunatic. Another person who dared to provoke the authority of the Celestial Dragons had appeared on the sea.
Did he think that making Kaido and Big Mom submit was enough to rebel against the rule of the Celestial Dragons?
How naive.
Although he was extremely furious, eliminating such a person was not something he could decide alone.
This man was no weaker than the Pirate Overlord Rocks from back then.
To eradicate such a person, they would have to launch an earth-shattering war.
He immediately summoned the other Five Elders to the World Government office.
A matter like this required all five of them to make a joint decision.
Shortly after, the Warrior God of Agriculture, the Warrior God of Law, the Warrior God of Environment, and the Warrior God of Science and Defense arrived.
Saint Saturn, the Warrior God of Science and Defense with his curly white hair, looked at the bald Warrior God of Finance, Saint Nusjuro.
"What is the matter that required gathering everyone?"
The others also looked at the Warrior God of Finance. They had been notified by an emergency call.
Judging by his tone, it was very bad. It seemed something major had happened.
The Warrior God of Finance briefly informed the other four of the situation.
Hearing this, the others all wore gloomy expressions. Their hearts filled with rage, feeling as if their lungs would explode from anger.
The Warrior God of Law, sporting a large handlebar mustache, slammed his hand heavily on the table in fury.
With a loud *bang*, the incredibly expensive table was smashed straight in half.
"This Emperor of the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets actually dared to speak such treasonous words about annihilating the Celestial Dragons!"
"Damn him!"
"He even dared to threaten war, as if we Celestial Dragons are afraid of him!"
"Then let it be war!"
"It's been a long time since the World Government displayed its true power. The world has forgotten the terror of our Celestial Dragons."
"Didn't we recently obtain the Mother Flame?"
"This is the perfect chance to see if we can power that giant weapon."
"Let's see if we can erase the island where the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets is located with a single shot."
The others were equally furious.
They indeed should go to war.
That man was simply too insane, treating the World Government and the Celestial Dragons as if they were nothing.
This was the greatest slight the Celestial Dragons had suffered in eight hundred years.
Saint Saturn was also incredibly angry, but he knew the method of establishing dominance suggested by the Warrior God of Law was unfeasible.
With a dark expression, he said, "The Mother Flame we currently possess is not enough to support moving the giant weapon all the way to the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets."
"We must find another way to eliminate this Empire."
"How about the five of us join forces, call upon the Marines, and launch a massive invasion on the Empire to completely slaughter everyone?"
If the Emperor of the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets dared to speak such treasonous words, then everyone in his Empire deserved to die.
And although the five of them rarely took action, it didn't mean they lacked combat power.
On the contrary, their combat prowess was at the absolute pinnacle.
All five of them had awakened their Devil Fruits long ago.
Combined with the Marine's top combatant, Akainu, they were fully confident in completely annihilating the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets.
Akainu was now considered a tremendously powerful combatant.
Especially after his growth during the Paramount War, he was no weaker than the Four Emperors.
The Warrior God of Agriculture agreed with a dark expression.
"Agreed."
The Warrior God of Finance and the Warrior God of Law also voiced their agreement.
A person like this completely threatened the rule of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
He had to be eliminated as soon as possible.
