Above some part of the world's skies, a massive floating warship hung silently in the air.
"What? That Bright bastard showed up?"
The bearded Five Elder's astonished voice echoed through the empty space.
A panicked voice came through the Den Den Mushi in his hand. "Y-Yes, Lord Five Elder! He came for the forces we gathered!"
"He wants to recruit them, and, and—"
The voice gradually turned desperate. "He isn't alone! He brought a gigantic flying machine with him. Its firepower is unbelievably terrifying! Casual bombardment alone made the entire sea boil!"
"..."
The bearded Five Elder hung up with a grim expression.
He looked up and met the equally grave gazes of his colleagues.
"Interesting."
Before they could discuss anything, an amused voice rang out. A tall, thin figure drifted over like a ghost. The ruler who had governed the world for eight hundred years smiled. "A flying machine in the sky? Is it Pluto? Did Bright perhaps modify Pluto?"
Pluto?
The Pluto built by Fish-Man Island?
The Five Elders' expressions changed.
It had actually been completed already!
Didn't that mean the enemy now possessed four Ancient Weapons?
Even if Poseidon would not be much use on the battlefield of the final war, two Plutos and one Uranus were already a terrifying combination!
It was truly difficult for the Five Elders not to show panic on their faces.
"Lord Imu,"
The five old men immediately dropped to one knee before Imu. The long-bearded Five Elder said urgently, "Could this be an opportunity? Bright appeared alone with Pluto?"
"Is that so?"
Imu merely shook his head gently. "Last time, it was Bright and Pluto too, wasn't it? But we still couldn't do anything to him."
The Five Elders fell silent.
That was true. Last time, Pluto could not even fly.
