Saint Jaygarcia Saturn saw the four people’s worries and said, “Luo Chen has gained the power to seal space, which can interfere with Imu-sama’s teleportation array.”
“Instead of leaving the Celestial Dragons in an undefended Mary Geoise, it would be safer for them to join us on the expedition.”
“Of course, this is just a concept.”
“Whether it is feasible will depend on reporting to Imu-sama and observing the changing landscape of the New World.”
The bald Five Elders nodded slightly: “Agreed, taking the other Celestial Dragons with us is better than leaving them in Mary Geoise.”
This year’s Celestial Dragon hunting event had not yet begun.
If Luo Chen was successfully encircled and killed, the hunting event could be held among the civilians in Luo Chen’s sphere of influence.
The so-called hunt refers to a triennial ceremony held in non-World Government affiliated countries.
It involves massacring the residents of an island and plundering its resources and wealth.
Through the hunting activities, excellent Celestial Dragon powerhouses are cultivated.
Many years ago, God Valley in West Blue was one of the locations where hunting activities were held.
The five reached a consensus on matters concerning Luo Chen.
For now, they needed to wait.
They needed to find the Binding Space Fruit and wait for Luo Chen to establish his territory in the New World.
Saint Marcus Mars recalled another rather troublesome matter.
“The Marines is in chaos right now; we need to intervene and handle it.”
Previously, their energy was entirely focused on the operation to encircle and kill Luo Chen in Sabaody Archipelago.
They hadn’t even had time to deal with the Marines, which had lost its Fleet Admiral.
Now, the attempt to encircle and kill Luo Chen had failed, and the trade supplies were gone.
The Holy Land had been attacked.
It was truly a case of losing both the wife and the soldiers.
The only good thing was that they got back two Marines Marine Admirals, Aokiji and Kizaru.
When the Marines was mentioned, all the Five Elders fell silent.
Originally, they planned to sacrifice Tsuru to save Warring States Period.
That way, the Marines could remain stable.
But Warring States Period committed suicide.
When they learned the news, the five of them were furious.
No one expected Warring States Period to commit suicide.
The video and suicide note before his death spread throughout the sea, completely shattering the Five Elders’s plans.
The Marines’s reputation was still terrible.
From grassroots soldiers to Marines Marine Vice Admirals, morale was plummeting, and more and more Mariness were resigning.
Even Garp and Tsuru had submitted their resignations to the World Government.
It was just that they hadn’t signed off on them yet.
Otherwise, the Marines high command would only be left with the Three Admirals.
It wouldn’t be long before it existed in name only.
Saint Marcus Mars looked around at the four: “First, send someone to tell Kizaru and Aokiji to keep silent; they must never reveal Imu-sama’s existence.”
“As for Garp and Tsuru, find someone to persuade them again.”
“The Marines Fleet Admiral needs to be re-elected, with Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru competing.”
“No matter who becomes Fleet Admiral, the Marines will be missing an Marine Admiral.”
“Adding to that, Boa Hancock, Crocodile, and Jinbe have withdrawn from the Seven Warlords of the Sea, significantly weakening our power on the seas.”
“I propose launching a worldwide conscription.”
“To fill the vacancies of Marines Marine Admiral and Seven Warlords of the Sea.”
“It might even be possible to recruit powerhouses who can counter Luo Chen’s abilities.”
A worldwide conscription?
The Five Elders fell into deep thought.
Luo Chen alone had almost crippled the Marines and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Forcing them to launch a worldwide conscription to recruit powerhouses.
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn’s tone barely concealed his anger: “The problem is, with the Marines’s current reputation, can they still recruit people?”
Saint Marcus Mars, uncharacteristically, pinched his brow and sighed: “Let’s try.”
“We have ruled the world for eight hundred years.”
“There will always be people willing to fight for the Celestial Dragons.”
“Luo Chen killing a Celestial Dragon is an unforgivable, heinous crime; there will be people who want to crusade against him.”
They had created the nobility and prestige of the Celestial Dragons in the minds of the world’s people.
Over eight hundred years, there must be many who truly submit and revere them.
Luo Chen killing a Celestial Dragon, for some, was evil, a sin.
The other Five Elders no longer questioned it.
At this point, this was the only way.
They and Imu-sama had both directly or indirectly taken action.
Yet they still couldn’t kill Luo Chen.
Currently, the situation was very passive.
Even if Imu-sama hadn’t issued an ultimatum, they had a premonition.
Their chances of encircling and killing Luo Chen were few.
This time, the sense of crisis Luo Chen brought to them and the Celestial Dragons was very strong.
Very strong.
No enemy had ever been as unfathomable as Luo Chen.
He was full of mysteries.
The strongest enemy Imu-sama had ever encountered, “Sun God” Joy Boy, was merely a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user in his Nika form.
But Luo Chen, they really couldn’t tell what his ability was… Above the New World sea, in the cabin of the Falling Star God’s End.
Space twisted into a vortex.
Luo Chen walked out of the Kamui Dimension.
As soon as he landed, a fragrant breeze enveloped him.
Hancock embraced him, her soft, fragrant body like a ball of white cotton.
Luo Chen chuckled: “After today, I will go into seclusion for cultivation.”
“Then this concubine must cherish today’s time,” Hancock’s pretty face flushed, stunningly beautiful.
Luo Chen stopped talking nonsense and quickly got down to business… The next day, he walked out of Hancock’s room.
But he was blocked by Nami not far away, who then pulled him into her room.
Nami pressed Luo Chen against the closed door and said angrily: “You’ve been messing around with Hancock again these past few days, haven’t you?”
Luo Chen coughed lightly, “No, I went to Sabaody Archipelago for a trade.”
Nami snorted: “Who are you trying to fool? I saw you come out of her room with my own eyes; I’ve been staking it out for days.”
Luo Chen awkwardly rubbed his nose.
Indeed, it wasn’t easy to deceive the clever little cat burglar Nami.
Nami stood on her tiptoes, cupped his chin with her hand, and hummed:
“You spent a few days with her, so you’ll spend a few days with me.”
Luo Chen said helplessly: “Your body can’t handle it.”
Hancock was the Pirate Empress who could kick down a thousand-meter combined giant.
Nami, with her small frame, was just an ordinary person.
Luo Chen’s physique was now monstrous; if he didn’t control his strength, a gentle squeeze would break Nami’s bones.
Nami’s expression stiffened at his words.
She remembered what happened previously in Alabasta.
Indeed, she didn’t last long before she couldn’t continue.
Most of the time she was sleeping.
Nami hesitated, then said: “Then… just one day.”
She felt a little guilty.
One day… it seemed difficult even for that.
Luo Chen smiled: “Alright, but let’s be clear, if you accidentally faint, I’ll go cultivate.”
Nami’s smooth, fair face couldn’t help but flush red.
Faint?
How could that be?
But did she faint last time? She couldn’t remember.
Two hours later, Luo Chen, shirtless, walked out of the bathroom attached to Nami’s room.
He looked at the sleeping Nami on the bed and couldn’t help but mutter: “So weak, yet so eager to play.”
Luo Chen put on his clothes, locked the door, and returned to his own room.
Sitting in a soft chair, he summoned the system panel.
