Meeting the Gorosei

Holy Land Mary Geoise, Pangu City, Chamber of Power.

The Gorosei had just received a report.

After reading the report, the Gorosei all smiled.

"Victor is truly two-faced."

The matter of Victor recommending Oren to be the commander of Branch 189 also reached the Gorosei's ears.

After taking office, Oren immediately began extorting and threatening merchants and nobles in William Port.

If they didn't pay protection fees, the merchants and nobles wouldn't be able to conduct business normally.

In addition, all merchants and travelers coming to and from William Port had to pay a toll.

Of course, both the protection fees and the tolls were in the form of donations to the so-called Disabled Veterans Foundation.

The World Government easily traced the owner of the foundation to Victor through the bank account.

From Branch 191 to Branch 189, Victor had been making money all along.

Moreover, Victor also gave opportunities for promotion to subordinates who flattered him.

"People with desires, and who are greedy, aren't they the most suitable candidates?"

"Yes, I hope he can maintain his desires."

"Then we can have him come see us."

The Gorosei unanimously made a decision.

They wanted to see Victor with their own eyes.

After several more days of sailing, the fleet arrived at Branch G1.

Subsequently, the two ships from Branch G5 returned to Branch G5.

Victor and the others continued on to Marineford.

Entering the Gate of Justice from Marineford, they finally arrived at Impel Down.

"Faster, everyone move faster." m.

"The prisoner is about to be delivered!"

Inside Impel Down, the jailers, urged by Warden Frendy, quickly lined up on the dock.

They were ready to receive the prisoner.

They were always this cautious when receiving dangerous prisoners.

At this moment, Impel Down Vice Warden Gary, Chief Guard Canlot, and others were waiting at the dock.

Under their gaze, three warships appeared on the sea.

The warships docked, and Victor disembarked.

"The person is in your hands."

Victor said to the waiting Vice Warden Gary, Chief Guard Canlot, and the others.

At this moment, Victor felt an unusual gaze from the crowd.

Behind Gary and Canlot stood a giant young man who looked like Satan.

Victor recognized the young man's identity.

It was the future Warden of Impel Down, Magellan.

Magellan stared at Victor.

Magellan was still very young, only 19 years old.

Currently, Magellan was the Vice Warden.

However, Victor was only a year older than him and was already famous throughout the world.

At the age of 20, he had defeated a notorious Great Pirate!

That was a villain even a Marine Admiral couldn't handle!

Victor noticed Magellan's gaze.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Gary glanced sideways, then deliberately coughed to remind Magellan to mind his behavior.

"He will be the future of Impel Down."

Victor looked at Magellan and said with a smile to Gary and the others.

At this moment, Count Red was carried off the warship and handed over to the jailers.

After confirming Count Red's identity, Gary and the others sent him into Impel Down.

Then they took the elevator directly to Level 6, the Infinite Hell.

After Victor and the others left, Gary couldn't help but look at Magellan.

Magellan was currently only the Vice Warden.

Moreover, Magellan hadn't even eaten the Mera Mera no Mi.

However, Victor actually considered Magellan the future of Impel Down.

Gary felt this matter needed to be reported to Warden Magellan.

After handing over the prisoners, Victor returned to Marineford.

He believed his return this time was not solely for escorting prisoners.

As expected.

When Victor disembarked from the warship, a Navy Commodore was waiting for him at the naval port.

This Navy Commodore was named Sannis.

Upon seeing Victor, Sannis immediately raised his hand in a salute.

"Rear Admiral Victor, the Fleet Admiral is waiting for you on the ship."

Sannis said to Victor.

Victor glanced at the warship not far away, then nodded and followed behind Commodore Sannis.

Soon, Victor met Kong and saluted him.

Kong's face was stern, showing no hint of emotion. He simply said indifferently, "Sit down."

Victor sat in his seat, saying nothing.

He didn't particularly like Kong.

In his impression, Kong always had a poker face, as if the whole world owed him money.

At this moment, the warship departed from the harbor.

Victor didn't ask where they were going.

However, judging by the direction of travel, they were likely heading to Mary Geoise.

Kong suddenly spoke, "The Gorosei want to see you."

"Mm," Victor replied calmly.

Kong said seriously, "This meeting today concerns your future and the future of the Navy."

"I understand," Victor nodded.

Victor followed behind Kong, entering Pangu City for the first time, and arriving at the Chamber of Power for the first time.

The Chamber of Power was the Gorosei's office.

At this moment, Kong and Victor, one after the other, appeared before the Gorosei.

The Gorosei were each busy. Upon seeing the two, they did not stop their work.

It wasn't until the elder with straight white hair put down his documents that he said, "Kong, you can go now."

"Yes," Kong replied, then turned and left.

Kong was different from Akainu.

Akainu thought that by becoming Navy Fleet Admiral, he could offer opinions to the Gorosei.

In reality, whether it was the Navy Fleet Admiral or the General of the Armed Forces, they were all the same in the eyes of the Gorosei.

All puppets!

Of course, this was also a show of dominance.

The Gorosei were subtly warning Victor.

In the face of supreme power, even standing at the pinnacle of the Navy, one was still insignificant.

Victor, however, appeared very calm.

There was no surprise, nor fear.

The Gorosei looked at Victor, then exchanged glances.

The elder with glasses spoke, "We know what you want."

The bald elder agreed, "What you pursue is human nature."

At this moment, the elder with blond hair looked at Victor and asked seriously, "What are you willing to pay?"

Victor stood up straight and, in a military manner, replied with neither humility nor arrogance, "Absolute loyalty."

"Hahaha."

The Gorosei exchanged smiles.

The elder with curly white hair asked, "Tell us, what is absolute loyalty?"

Victor replied without the slightest hesitation, "What the Navy dares not kill, I kill! What the Navy dares not do, I do! As long as it is an order from the World Government, it is better to kill ten thousand by mistake than to let one go!"

"Hahaha."

The Gorosei burst into laughter again.

The old man with straight white hair stood up and said to Victor, "We've felt your resolve."

"So that you can better carry out your mission and maintain the World Government's rule."

The old man with straight white hair picked up a pre-prepared box and handed it to Victor.

Victor took the box and opened it.

Inside was a Devil Fruit.
