Imu's Attendant Arrangements!
Mary Geoise, Hall of Authority
"Heh, that kid Dragon actually defeated that Slave King. Back then, we all thought it was unlikely, right?" Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter Saint said with a self-deprecating laugh, shaking the intelligence report in his hand.
The intelligence report stated that King Taklama had been formally arrested by the navy and was being escorted to Enies Lobby for trial.
As for the soldiers of the Slave Guard Legion, although they were controlled by the Pet-Pet Fruit's power, they had still caused casualties to the Navy, so they could not be released without charge and were also taken back and imprisoned.
Izanbaron V. Saint Nusjuro, holding his Shodai Kitetsu, looked over expressionlessly and said, "Don't count me in. I said back then that since this is Lord Imu's decision, there won't be any problems!"
"Indeed, in the end, we mortals still cannot fully comprehend Imu's foresight. From now on, it's best to keep your little schemes to yourself."
Marcus Saint Mars chuckled.
On the other side, Jaygarcia Saint Saturn shook his head and said, "It's not really a matter of ulterior motives. On the surface, Dragon's strength is indeed much weaker than that of the King Taklama. We're just a little worried, which is normal."
"We all know that Future Sight is not uncommon for high-level combatants, but that only predicts a few seconds. Lord Imu's ability to observe the entire river of time is truly unheard of, a miracle!"
Sitting in the very center, Topman Saint Topman Warcury, who was in charge of the entire State Council, looked up with fervor. Although there were only magnificent crystal chandeliers and ceilings, his worshipful gaze seemed to penetrate everything as he looked up at the Moon Chamber the very top.
Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter Saint nodded and said, "Judging from this, Lord Imu is preparing to give this son of Garp an important position. But now that the three candidates for Admiral have been decided, how should we arrange things for him?"
"Hmph, as long as Lord Imu is willing, just change to the next one." Izanbaron V. Saint Nusjuro didn't care about this at all, thinking it was just a trivial matter.
The other four shook their heads inwardly at his appearance; this man was still as politically naive as ever, or rather, uninterested in politics.
"Dragon Imu must have his own plans regarding Dragon, so let's not waste our time." After saying that, Topman Saint Topman Warcury looked at the intelligence report in his hand and continued.
"The Thutmose Kingdom has been stripped of its Affiliated Nation. The Administrative Department is organizing a fleet of ships from various countries in the South Blue to disperse and resettle the hundreds of thousands of slaves on the island, after which the navy will be responsible for sending them back to their homeland."
"Interestingly, these rescued slaves, when questioned by reporters from major newspapers, all expressed strong goodwill towards the World Government and the Navy."
After listening, Marcus Saint Mars said, "The news of the Slave King's arrest has certainly attracted attention from all sides. Without a doubt, this will be the headline of the next newspaper. In doing so, the intentions of our World Government are now out in the open, and the royal families and nobles of various countries will not be at ease."
It's important to understand that the main players in the slave trade weren't the Celestial Dragons, but rather the noble classes of kingdoms large and small. Getting them to willingly release slaves was tantamount to seizing their property, which was by no means easy.
"Hmph, so what if they're restless? The agenda for this Reverie was personally set by Lord Imu, which means it will definitely pass smoothly. Once it's passed, they'll have to obediently carry it out!"
"Disagree? Resist? The bridge over the East Blue isn't even finished yet!"
Izambalon V. Saint Nusjuro once again made extremely tough remarks, his cold gaze sending chills down one's spine.
"That's true. Even if it causes quite a stir, we can just replace the royal families with a different group," Topman Saint Topman Warcury nodded in deep agreement.
The conversation among the Five Elders ultimately revolved around this Reverie.
As for the demotion and transfer of Colonel Haros of the Marine Branch 194 of the South Blue, and the fact that the commanders of the Marine Branch 242 Base and Marine Branch 289 Base were imprisoned along with the King Taklama on charges of collusion, bribery, and secretly informing the Enies Lobby, these are too minor matters to be worth mentioning.
"By the way, how's the fake Roger's treasure going?" Topman Saint Topman Warcury asked Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter, who smiled and said, "Although the process was a bit troublesome, CP6 did a pretty good job this time, managing to get it done without any major incidents. Now we just have to wait for us to find it and bring it back."
The former nodded, understanding Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter's meaning. The situation in the 'New World' seas was too complicated. It would certainly not be easy to carry out deception there while maintaining complete secrecy.
"How much treasure was placed there?" Jaygarcia Saint Saturn asked curiously from the side.
Because the Holy Land Treasury and the gold treasury are both under the jurisdiction of the State Council.
This demonstrates just how immense the power of the State Council is.
Topman Saint Topman Warcury smiled slightly.
"Not much, just enough to fill two large cargo ships. To ensure a spectacular display, there's no cash, just gold and jewels!"
Upon hearing this, the other four members of the Five Elders twitched at the corners of their mouths.
According to their plan, they needed to pile up these 'found' 'one piece' pieces and then broadcast them live to people all over the world via Projection Den Den Mushi).
What would it look like if so much treasure were stored together?
"Now, the whole world will be amazed. I wonder what expressions the Roger Pirates' crew will have then," Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter St. laughed heartily.
Just then, Marcus Saint Mars noticed a maid tiptoeing Earth Flow. Upon seeing her, the other four stopped talking and turned their attention to her.
"The master ordered me to come and inform him that he wants to take a walk around the area, and to contact him directly via Den Den Mushi if anything comes up."
Hearing this, the Five Elders seemed rather surprised. After the maid respectfully turned and left, Topman Saint Topman Warcury and said, "It seems Lord Imu is indeed getting restless."
"That's quite normal, or rather, it would be surprising if the adults lived in seclusion up there for hundreds of years," Marcus Saint Mars said.
While pondering, Izanbaron V. Saint Nusjuro offered his guess, "I think it's related to Lord Imu's prophecy. A massive war and rebellion that could threaten our rule in twenty-four years is enough to alarm you, my lord!"
"What about the flying vehicles that Lord Imu mentioned earlier?" asked Jaygarcia Saint Saturn.
"I've already come up with a solution and am working on it. I won't let you down, sir!" Marcus Saint Mars said confidently with a smile.
"That's good!"
Topman Saint Topman Warcury was satisfied with the other party's answer, then looked at Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter and asked, "Have the accompanying CP personnel been chosen?"
"Well, because Lord Imu only allowed one CP to be brought along, I was troubled for a few days. Fortunately, I selected a candidate who is excellent in all aspects the day before yesterday." Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter Saint looked relieved.
"Male? Female?"
"She's a woman, and quite beautiful. Of course, most importantly, her background is clear, and she's also quite capable."
At this moment, Izambaron V. Saint Nusjuro interrupted, saying, "I heard that the Navy's choice of attendant is also a woman. I've looked at the information, and her Swordsmanship is quite good."
"In that case, plus the two maids responsible for daily life..."
Jaygarcia Saint Saturn stroked the texture on his cane and asked with concern, "Isn't our combat strength too weak?"
But to this, Izambaron V. Saint Nusjuro chuckled and said, "Where in this world is there any 'power' that can threaten Imu?"
"These attendants are just there to do some trivial things for you, and to keep you entertained and pass the time during the journey."

To be honest, every time I see everyone's tips, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and the encouragement and support in the comments, my heart is filled with warmth.
Although the data for this book so far isn't great, I enjoyed writing it; there's a sense of satisfaction in slowly training the World Government and the entire Pirate Planet.
