At the End of the Road

The fact that Imu was able to become a 'Celestial Dragons' and even take his place was truly beyond Oboro's expectations.

But it's not surprising.

Because the weak can only bow down to the strong if they want to survive.

This is the order of the 'food chain'.

It is also a means for the other party to 'survive'.

Oboro naturally wouldn't agree.

"He probably tried to persuade you too, right?"

"Fufufu..."

Faced with Oboro's question, Doflamingo suppressed his murderous intent and gave a mocking smile.

That's right. If Oboro doesn't agree, Nasujuro's idea is to restore Doflamingo's status and make him one of the Five Elders, without interfering with his Yonko territory and business. This is a roundabout way of achieving his goal, using the relationship between the Donquixote Family and the Hell Pirates to persuade God Slayer to let them off the hook. However, whether it's placing Oboro above Imu or accepting Doflamingo's status... such things would probably seem unbelievable to others.

The reason is simple... they are all One Piece.

Doflamingo has been stripped of his title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and is now one of the Yonko.

Sending one of the Yonko to Mary Geoise to be one of the Five Elders?

Isn't this contradictory? The World Government and One Piece have always been two opposing camps, irreconcilable enemies. Even Shanks, another Yonko, doesn't have the same prestige as Yonko. On the surface, one can only choose between the Celestial Dragons and One Piece; given the unique context of this world, they are incompatible. Of course, Mary Geoise could choose to conceal the information, allowing Doflamingo, far away in the Holy Land, to secretly control the new Totto Land and possess a dual identity. But if this were to be exposed, it would be a massive scandal that history itself could not conceal.

This also shows the extent to which the Celestial Dragons have been driven to the brink of desperation; in order to survive, they have resorted to any means necessary.

It shattered all order and rules.

However, this is probably not the first time Imu has done something like this. No matter how big the scandal or stain, it can be 'erased' by human intervention, just like the 'Void Century'.

What's the point?

"Even if I become one of the Five Elders, Mary Geoise will still be destroyed... The world will still change."

"I know you very well... Fufufu, no one can sway any of your decisions."

"Those guys are so stupid they can't even see the future..."

Doflamingo spread his hands and sneered, "The identity of Celestial Dragons is worthless now..."

"Oh."

Long smiled.

This is one of the reasons he likes Doflamingo. This man's experiences and growth make him distinctly different from the other Celestial Dragons. Doflamingo, like him, is a person from the real world who has relied on his own abilities and skills to get to where he is today through the trials and tribulations of a dangerous world.

His mind remained clear throughout.

After thinking it over, Long got up and left.

A road leading to the 'end' has been opened.

After failing to achieve the desired result, Mary Geoise quickly convened a world conference, inviting the kings of all member states to discuss how to deal with the Hell Pirates.

In desperation, this was the only thing the Celestial Dragons and the World Government could still do.

Moreover, the Celestial Dragons' response went beyond that. The World Government published the 'Truth About God Slayer' in the newspapers, calling on everyone to join forces against the group that was about to destroy the world.

With the revelation of the secrets of Kanzan and the Hell Pirates, the whole world was thrown into turmoil and panic.

Because everyone clearly sensed the World Government's unease, something that had never happened before... When has the World Government ever lowered itself to ask for help from outsiders?

The World Government even made an unprecedented attempt to join forces with One Piece, pooling everyone's power to destroy the Hell Pirates' forces.

This one incident alone has led the outside world to believe that the news reported by the World Government may be true.

At first, some people had doubts, thinking that the World Government was deliberately creating a panic to target the God Slayer. After all, as the center of world power, when have the Celestial Dragons ever been afraid?

Ironically, regardless of what countries and people think, at least on the One Piece side, no one will side with them.

The Celestial Dragons, the World Government, the Navy... have always been the greatest enemies of One Piece. The infamous Celestial Dragons ... their evil deeds over the years cannot be easily forgotten. The current world ecology and environment can also be said to have been created by the Celestial Dragons. Even if the Hell Pirates really wanted to destroy the world and create a new environment, the One Piece would be happy to see it... anyway, the Celestial Dragons would definitely be the first to die.

As for whether the future world will be heaven or hell, that doesn't matter anymore.

"The great God Slayer ... the esteemed Mr. Oboro... I have received the latest firsthand information and would like to inform you."

The next day, Oboro received a phone call.

As soon as he answered the call, the person on the other end spoke in an exaggerated and praising tone.

"What? Tell me about it."

He responded with a long smile.

Morgans.

In fact, the Hell Pirates and the World News Agency have always had a secret communication channel... As his number one fan, Morgans has also secretly put in a lot of effort over the years, using his influence to promote the Hell Pirates or provide some information, including the previous 'break' with the Big Mom Pirates, which dealt a heavy blow to the Totto Land Intelligence Network.

Although they are not members of the Hell Pirates, they are definitely one of our own.

Morgans's 'sense of smell' and 'eye' were quite accurate. It seems that from the very beginning of the Sabaody Incident, he believed that Oboro was bound to be a great figure who could change the times.

He truly lives up to his status and capabilities as a media mogul. As a leader in the industry, his ability to foresee early signs of events is exceptional.

However, this was also the first time the two had spoken.

But there was no sense of unfamiliarity between them.

"The Celestial Dragons of Mary Geoise have all fled... Now, apart from the World Government's agents and personnel, there isn't a single Celestial Dragons left in Mary Geoise..."

Morgans shouted excitedly.

"Oh?" Long raised an eyebrow, then realized what he meant.

The World Government's blatant instigation of the world to deal with him is nothing short of a provocation.

Imu and Nassuro probably feared that if they were to descend upon the Holy Land again, they would slaughter them all.

Another reason is that by pushing the World Government out as a scapegoat, they want to hide... and disappear without a trace.

They escaped this calamity.

However, given the atmosphere and character that the Celestial Dragons have cultivated over the past few centuries, they will likely attract attention wherever they flee, even if they change their appearance.

"The Celestial Dragons have abandoned the World Government... The current situation is that the World Government, burdened by a sense of justice, is operating independently, wanting to fight against me, the evil villain, in order to save the world." Oboro said to himself, tapping his fingers on the table. "The World Conference held recently, was it the World Government impersonating the Celestial Dragons to invite the royal families of all the member countries?"

"Exactly."

Morgans replied.

"But before that, the World Government was just a tool used by the Celestial Dragons. They are not the same as the Navy... As far as I know, the various institutions within the World Government have also been paralyzed, and many people have run away. There are very few left now... On the other hand, the Navy has a strong sense of cohesion and has not been frightened by what you did. Of course... in order to prevent morale from collapsing, the World Government also concealed the truth from the Navy... Very few people in the Navy know what you did in Mary Geoise."

"Use your power to help me find the whereabouts of those Celestial Dragons... The lower-ranking Celestial Dragons should have escaped, but Imu and those two Five Elders probably don't intend to completely relinquish their power, because they know very well that without it, they have even less hope of survival... Scattering and hiding the Celestial Dragons is also to preserve a little bit of 'roots'..."

Oboro saw through the true nature of the Celestial Dragons' actions.

"The world is so big, they can always find a relatively hidden place to hide... After all, it is quite difficult to conduct a carpet search of the entire ocean."

Morgans chimed in.

"Given your intelligence, I don't need to tell you what will happen next."

"Hehe."

Long laughed, "Go and do it."
