"Believe in demons?" One of the Five Elders, with a fluffy white beard, said upon hearing Makima's words.
"That is not a reason that can be accepted. You should understand, Makima, since both sides have signed a contract, you should come with sincerity!"
Believing in demons, of course, cannot be seen as a reason. From ancient times to the present, countless people have believed in demons.
The worship of Satan might be even older than the World Government, but something like this has never happened before.
"Demons all have their true names, and only their true names are what they care about."
"Perhaps they have learned true names of demons that others in the past never knew, or perhaps they have obtained something related to demons. In any case, it would be best to leave this to the Marines or CP to search."
After Makima finished speaking, the floating flesh in front of her suddenly deformed a little, and then slowly began to twist and deform, eventually turning into something like an outline.
"The demon worshippers are concentrated in this country. I think with the World Government's abilities, investigating a country with this shape... shouldn't be a problem."
The Five Elders glanced at the deformed flesh, then glanced at Makima, and were very puzzled by her motive. Did she really not want to be responsible for matters not related to demons?
As if understanding the Five Elders' hesitation, Makima said, "The Black Order was only established for a year. If not confirmed is related to demons, we wouldn't have enough people to handle it all."
"This time, it involves a demon lord, so we must be cautious. If the Marine Headquarters confirms that there are demons or some demon item, The Black Order will also send reinforcements."
So...
She wants the Marines to go and die first?
The Five Elders thought of this, but also understood that the country was probably extremely dangerous, and even Makima needed some cannon fodder to go and die in order to investigate information.
This is another exchange of benefits. They let Makima catch some demons monsters for them to study, while Makima had them send some cannon fodder to investigate information about this event.
But...
There is not much loss for them!
While the Marine Headquarters is a great power that guards the World Government's rule, the Five Elders think it is ok if they die.
If they can obtain intelligence to eliminate the demon followers related to Zero for them, it would be completely worth it.
Most importantly, if they don't rely on Makima's power to capture it, they can accept all the legacy of this event!
The 'Zeros' seem to have the ability to find Shikon Jewel fragments...
They had been searching for so long and still hadn't found anything, but Zero was able to easily fuse four Shikon Jewel fragments into Kraken's body at that time.
Putting aside everything else, they are very interested in just this ability alone.
The Shikon Jewel fragments possess incredible power. Once collected and recombined into the Shikon Jewel, it's more important than any Marine sacrifice, or the lives of demons and pirates!
Makima left.
One of the Five Elders said, "Let the Marines launch a Buster Call, led by an Admiral."
"No, what if important information is damaged? We can't rely too much on that woman Makima next time when dealing with demons."
"First, we must find this country. Although we have a rough outline, the world situation is constantly changing, and the territories of many war-torn countries are changing daily."
Their arguments unfolded over power.
Tonight, the sky is unusually dark...
Makima, who walked out from the realm of power, did not return directly to The Black Order, but stayed in Mary Geoise for a while, waited until dark, went to the other side, and looked at the distant sea from above.
There are no opportunities to admire the scenery like this on the sea. Even if there are mountains on the islands, it is difficult to have such a broad viewing perspective as Mary Geoise.
Although looking at the sea view at night is a very strange thing, Makima is already a strange person in the hearts of the World Government.
The Marine Headquarters is not far from Mary Geoise, and so is Sabaody Archipelago. Precisely because it is so close, Kyuubi was able to fire a cannon directly into Mary Geoise back then.
And now, she is secretly using the Sheep Talisman to enter the dreams of people who are deeply asleep at night.
Because of the experience of entering Sengoku's dream last time, Makima is familiar with the road this time.
.........
And some time before, the Marine Headquarters was still brightly lit.
Makima gave the outline to the Five Elders, but the Five Elders would not personally investigate these things. If they had to do everything themselves, what would they do with their subordinates?
Therefore, the Marine Headquarters was busy for most of the day.
The main reason is that the world is unstable now, and the territory outlines of many countries are changing.
At least from the current maps, there are no countries that fit the description, and they don't know the information of some countries that have not joined the World Government.
Therefore, they can only constantly take out maps from various periods for comparison, and finally located it in a World Government member state called 'Jartzburg Country' on the Grand Line.
This country is resource-poor, so it can only rely on continuous wars to plunder resources. The World Government is too lazy to care about its life or death, as long as it pays Heavenly Tribute on time.
As long as they can give money to the World Government, the World Government can ignore their invasion of other areas and countries, even if the target is also a World Government member state. It will only be treated as an internal conflict.
So, does such an environment cause the belief in demons to grow in that kind of country?
According to Admiral Kong's order, tomorrow the Marines will be led by Garp to Jartzburg Country, and it is only a vanguard force. Several Vice Admirals of the Marine Headquarters and even he, the Admiral, are ready to support.
Although it may make people suspect that mobilizing so many troops for a small country is overreacting, but since it involves 'Zero' the demon, this tension is worth it.
In a kind of strange anxiety, Sengoku entered into a dream.
"We meet again."
In front of Sengoku was still that blank world. He was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but he quickly reacted. He had come to this place a year ago.
In the white world, there was a figure wearing black clothes, with a thin ice mask on his face. The ice was transparent, but Sengoku couldn't see the other person's face clearly.
"Indra...?" Sengoku remembered this person's name. This person wearing the ice mask seemed to appear in front of him because he ate the Buddha Fruit.
