Declaring War on the World Government

"Do you realize what you will face if you do this?" The expression and tone of Tsuru became exceptionally grave and serious.

"Perhaps I know even more than you do?" Zhu Mang laughed.

Following this, he spat out several sets of words that caused the expressions of the three elders to change drastically.

"The Void Century, the Twenty Kings, the Celestial Dragons, the Moon People."

"Imu, the Holy Knights, the Five Elders, Uranus."

"God Valley, the Rocks Pirates, the Murder Competition, Figarland."

"Am I right, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp, and... the Five Elders?" Zhu Mang turned his head to look at a Visual Den Den Mushi placed not far away.

Sengoku's eyes widened to their limit.

Meanwhile, the expression on Garp's face became incredibly complex.

These three sets of words from Zhu Mang represented, respectively, "the origins of the World Government," "the supreme combat power and rulers of the World Government," and "the God Valley Incident."

Of course, the former two were things that even these people—and indeed most of the world—should not have been aware of.

As Fleet Admiral, even Sengoku only knew through certain means that the Celestial Dragons possessed their own trump card, one capable of suppressing everything!

He had investigated in secret, and in the end, everything pointed toward the legendary Three Ancient Weapons.

Each of the Three Ancient Weapons possessed the power to overturn the world.

Yet, they had always remained hidden in the shadows, not to be spoken of to outsiders.

Even Sengoku had not been entirely clear on the details until recently.

It was only after the former Shichibukai, Sir Crocodile, was arrested in Alabasta that news of Pluton was revealed.

This was what had finally caught Sengoku's attention.

Subsequently, he discovered that the Celestial Dragons were secretly using CP9 in Water 7 to attempt to obtain the Pluton Blueprints.

It was just that they had fallen short at the final hurdle.

Sengoku felt fortunate in his heart that the Celestial Dragons had failed to obtain the blueprints for Pluton.

However, through his own methods, he had deduced that Uranus was likely in the hands of the Celestial Dragons, and furthermore, it was in a state that could still be used!

As for the Holy Knights, they had always been extremely mysterious on the high seas.

Because they rarely mobilized, but whenever they did, they would basically wipe out their targets and everything in the vicinity to cover up their existence!

However, Garp had once had an encounter with them.

That was during the God Valley Incident.

God Valley was the place where Garp had made his name. The official narrative was: Vice Admiral Garp defeated the notorious Rocks, who had committed countless evils on the seas, and from then on became the Hero of the Marines.

Yet, those who knew the deeper "truth" were aware: it was Garp and Roger who had defeated Rocks together, but the World Government, wanting to prevent a "pirate from becoming a hero," had attributed all the credit to Garp.

However, in reality, this was still only part of the truth.

In the battle of God Valley, the true protagonists were the Holy Knights!

By the time he and Roger arrived, the battle was already nearing its end.

Rocks himself had reached the point of exhaustion!

Therefore, his contribution in the battle of God Valley was, at best, killing a few captains who were relatively important in the Rocks Pirates at the time, but it was completely unworthy of the title "Hero of the Marines"!

Moreover, the trash of the Celestial Dragons he had saved while killing those great pirates had also made him feel disgusted, like a fishbone stuck in his throat!

Especially after seeing with his own eyes what the Celestial Dragons were capable of!

This was the reason why, for so many years, he had never wanted to mention that incident.

Even to old friends like Sengoku and Tsuru, he had only spoken vaguely about the Holy Knights, letting them know that the Celestial Dragons still hid such a force.

But now, all these secrets had been laid bare by this mysterious Gebinz!

The Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

The Room of Authority.

Five elders of varying appearances, dressed in black suits, sat on a long sofa.

They were the Five Elders, who symbolized the supreme power of the World Government.

At this moment, their expressions were gloomy to the extreme!

Unlike Sengoku and Garp, as the public supreme rulers of the World Government and the agents who controlled the World Government for the Celestial Dragons, they knew even more secrets!

The content revealed in the third and second sets of words was already enough to make them feel shocked and angry.

But the first set...

That was truly enough to make them furious, or even... afraid!

The Moon People!

How distant a term that was!

The establishment of the World Government, the relationship between the Celestial Dragons and the Moon People—all of this should have been buried within the history of the Void Century!

It was something that should have been absolutely impossible to appear in this world!

Once, there was an island called Ohara, where those reckless scholars attempted to research this history. The final result was a Buster Call that directly erased all life upon it, along with the entire island itself.

But now...

These things were being broadcast to the entire world by a Monkey-Tailed Man using a Visual Den Den Mushi!

Even if they wanted to stop it now, it was already too late.

How many people had heard these things?

Even a secret known by three people is no longer a secret.

Let alone something known by three hundred thousand, or perhaps three million, or even thirty million people simultaneously!

Even if these were just simple terms, putting them together was enough to set imaginations running wild.

Especially for those among them with ulterior motives!

This was enough to cause turmoil throughout the entire world, and perhaps even overthrow the rule of the World Government!

"Damn it, what exactly is the Navy doing? Do they want to revolt?"

"Now that these things are known to the whole world, we must reach a decision."

"Are we supposed to purge the entire world again?"

"If it truly comes to that, it is the only way. After the purge, we will gather the remaining commoners on the Red Line to breed, send the children born there to the purged islands, and finally, purge the survivors as well. It will only take a few decades for the world to return to its original state."

"We should request instructions from Imu. If we are to implement the Purge Plan, it will affect her plans, and furthermore, we will need her assistance. Our strength alone is far from enough..."

The group fell silent for a moment, then picked up the Recording Den Den Mushi that had captured the footage and walked deeper into the facility.

As for Zhu Mang's claim that he would start a brand new, true "Summit War" in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, they did not take it to heart.

They believed that since he had said it to the Navy, he must be intending to borrow the Navy's strength to achieve this goal.

After all, a conflict between two armies or two factions is what constitutes a war.

And they were confident that Sengoku was not a man devoid of reason.

He would never dare to defy them!

Little did they know, when one's power reaches a certain level, some people can become an army unto themselves.

A war can also be 1vN!
