"This guy! He actually dares to question the World Government's plans?"
"Damn it, does he even know who he is?"
"What's wrong? Is his incompetence really our fault?"
"Have this guy come here in person!"
Seeing the Den Den Mushi being hung up, the four elders' faces darkened, and their gloomy expressions carried a hint of exasperation and anger.
In the end, the four of them exchanged glances, put away the Den Den Mushi, their faces extremely grim as they sat down in silence.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became oppressive.
After an unknown amount of time, St. Topman Warcury finally broke the silence, "Didn't we already shut that stinky bird up? Why is it still in the newspaper?"
"I did shut him up."
St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro's face was ashen. "But it seems that the stinky bird hasn't listened!"
"Does this guy even know how much trouble he has caused us?!"
St. Shepherd Ju Peter said, his face grim. "He even dares to disobey the World Government's orders?"
"He needs to know the consequences of disobeying the World Government's orders."
St. Marcus Mars said coldly, "He's not the only news agency on the sea!"
Yesterday, they informed the president of the World Economy News agency to tell that stinky bird to keep its mouth shut and know what it can and cannot say.
Unexpectedly, this guy agreed last night, but today he actually tricked the World Government?!
How could this not infuriate them?
They originally planned to erase all information about this incident and minimize its impact, but now... It's too late!
In such a short period of time, the Celestial Dragons have been beaten, their public execution has failed, and now one of the Five Elders has died.
This has seriously challenged the World Government's status!
You must know they are gods, gods who rule over this sea!
A God is dead now...
It's easy to imagine!
They bet all those ambitious schemers on the seas are laughing at the Celestial Dragons!
Furthermore, everything they did to maintain the Celestial Dragon's status after it was beaten up can now be said to have been in vain.
None of the four elders spoke, their faces all looking extremely grim, and some even harbored resentment towards Saturn.
If that guy hadn't made that decision on his own, perhaps things wouldn't be like this now, and if he had been able to come back successfully, the situation wouldn't be so bad.
After another quarter of an hour, the four of them finally let out a sigh and looked at each other again.
"Let's think about what to do now!"
"We must minimize the impact!"
"Perhaps we need to clean up the sea so that those lowly creatures can understand the meaning of the word, god."
"Can!"
The four of them took turns saying their piece.
Just then, the door was suddenly opened, instantly shattering the four people's conversation.
The four elders all turned their heads with displeasure, looking towards the door, intending to see which ignorant fellow it was!
You should know that this is the center of the highest power, and not just anyone can enter, let alone enter without even giving a heads-up.
However, when the four of them looked closely and a familiar figure came into view, their brows furrowed, and they spoke with dissatisfaction.
"Figarland Garling!"
"Who gave you permission to enter without our permission?"
"Do you know where this place is? No one is allowed to enter without our permission!"
"Get out of here right now!"
"I just received the order."
But despite the four men's dissatisfaction, Figarland Garling did not pay any attention and continued walking forward on his own.
After walking to a throne representing the seat of the Five Elders, he sat down with great fanfare, saying, "From now on, I will serve as the Warrior God of Science and Defense."
"This situation is a result of your unauthorized actions, but I know it's not your fault. The world is about to descend into panic, and unprecedented chaos is on the horizon."
He crossed his legs, looking expressionlessly at the four people in front of him, "Let's work together to make the world a better place, my fellow elders!"
...
Meanwhile, on the seas, as the newspapers were delivered to every corner, towering waves were stirred up at that moment.
They originally thought that the failed public execution and the huge embarrassment the Marine Headquarters had caused was already a huge incident, but they never expected that there would be an even bigger incident.
In the New World, somewhere in the sea, aboard the Red Force.
"My goodness! There's someone even stronger than the captain?!"
Shanks, captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, stared wide-eyed at the newspaper in his hand. "He can even kill someone bound by a contract? What the hell? Is that Devil Fruit really that powerful?"
"Indeed, he's powerful."
Benn Beckman, the second-in-command beside him, nodded seriously. "Shanks, now I'm starting to doubt whether that legend is wrong. Could that guy really be the God of the Sun?"
"I don't know!"
Shanks scratched his head in frustration. He knew more than Benn Beckman, but now... He was a little confused, too.
Is this what the new era truly means?
Should he go and have a serious talk with Mr. Rayleigh and Mr. Gaban?
"Forget it, there's no point in saying all this now."
Finally, Shanks sighed, giving up on the thought, and looked at the calm sea before him. "Let's get ready! Chaos... It looks like it's really coming."
As he spoke, a smile crept onto his lips, and he murmured to himself, "I can't wait to see you, Luffy!"
...
"Goodbye, Luffy!
"Ah, Sabo, you're leaving?!"
"Such a huge event has happened, we really should go back."
On a ship shimmering in the sunlight on the Grand Line, Sabo looked at Luffy in front of him with a touch of emotion, "I never thought that something like this would happen during a public execution, and even one of the Five Elders, who are high and mighty, is dead."
A unique glint flashed in his eyes, "This might be a rare opportunity for the Revolutionary Army, so I must go back!"
As he spoke, his tone shifted to one of amazement, "The owner of the Umbrella Corporation is truly a remarkable hero who can even shake the ocean!"
"Shihihi, Ian, he is indeed very strong."
