"What? Wapol was abducted?"
By the time the Five Elders received the news, half an hour had already passed since Rear Admiral had awakened.
"What happened?"
they asked.
Could some foolhardy pirate have gone and attacked them?
Navy Headquarters on the other end of the Den Den Mushi gave them a detailed account of what Rear Admiral had experienced.
An unidentified monster had used Conqueror's Haki to knock out everyone aboard the ship, and by the time they woke up, Wapol had already vanished.
"It was Bright!"
The moment the call ended, the bearded Five Elder impatiently named the suspect they all had in mind.
"It was definitely that bastard!"
The bald Five Elder nodded repeatedly. "There aren't many people in the world with Conqueror's Haki at that level. The three monsters of the New World, even if you add Red-Hair, are all still staying obediently on the other side of the Red Line!"
"Besides, Bright had a conflict with Wapol during the Reverie," the blond Five Elder added. "Although I don't know why he's holding such a grudge this time."
"It wasn't because of that conflict."
The Five Elder in white robes, holding a sword, spoke calmly. "When would Black ever do something so pointless?"
"He specifically went after Wapol, so Wapol probably has some use to him."
"What use?"
The bald Five Elder narrowed his eyes in thought. "Could he be after Drum Kingdom's medical technology?"
That country's medical technology truly ranked among the best in the world.
"Probably not."
The long-bearded Five Elder shook his head. "Could it be that Bright wants Wapol himself?"
"Wapol is certainly an idiot, but don't forget that he's still a Devil Fruit user."
"You mean Bright has his eye on Wapol's ability?"
The blond Five Elder frowned. "The Munch-Munch Fruit's ability?"
