Imu was both surprised by what had happened in the Teigu World and able to understand it.
After all, where there was oppression, there was resistance.
The World Government itself had conquered through force.
And only two years had passed. That was nowhere near enough to win over the majority of an entire world.
Not to mention that they had only allowed the Empire, Divine Harmony, and Alkemi to join.
The enormous interests involved were enough to make those small and medium-sized nations jealous, even resentful.
Yet they did not dare openly display their anger or rebellious intent. Instead, they tacitly supported, from the shadows, a group of warriors dissatisfied with the Empire, Divine Harmony, Alkemi, and the World Government—warriors bold enough to fight and struggle against them without end.
Even if they could not hurt them, they wanted to disgust them to death!
They just had not expected a small number of people to be mad enough to directly attack Heavenly Gate Sacred Island.
They had even blown up the statue of the God of the Celestial Dragons.
That was what drew the World Government's utmost attention and forced even Imu to take notice.
Understanding was one thing, but forgiveness was another.
If it had been the former World Government, the former Imu,
he would have dispatched God's Knights without another word and wiped out those kingdoms from top to bottom.
It sounded cruel, but they had done such things many times before.
A slightly better fate would have been for the entire nation to be captured and sent to build bridges in East Blue.
But the current Imu was no longer the former Imu, and under his influence, the current World Government was no longer the former World Government either.
Unless absolutely necessary, exterminating nations and slaughtering civilians
