• A CP0 agent told the Five Elders that Dr. Vegapunk confirmed the potions’ effects but could not discover their ingredients or method of creation.

• Sengoku, Akainu, and other Marine leaders warned the Five Elders that Allen and the Demon Pirates were growing too powerful, but the Five Elders refused to change their strategy.
