Seizing all power? The Revolutionary Army is restless!

"Insolent, audacious!"

"This Akira is simply lawless, actually launching a mutiny!"

Holy Land, Chamber of Power.

The Five Elders, gathered together, wore extremely grim expressions.

Just a moment ago, the latest intelligence from the Fleet Admiral's office confirmed that Marine Headquarters had completely fallen into Akira's hands.

It was precisely because of this latest intelligence that four of the Five Elders nearly exploded on the spot.

Especially when they learned that not only Marine Headquarters but also the Four Seas and many branch bases in the Grand Line were unreachable, their last sliver of hope vanished.

"I knew something would go wrong with this Akira!"

The Financial God, Izanbaron V. Nasjuro, who wielded a samurai sword, looked at the other four Five Elders with a dark expression, radiating killing intent. "When Spandam found me back then, I sensed a threat, which is why I ordered Enies Lobby to intervene and investigate and judge him. I thought we were fast enough, but I didn't expect him to have already revealed his fangs in secret!"

"Spandam?" The Legal God, Topman Warcury, seated on the sofa in the center, looked up at Izanbaron V. Nasjuro. "Why would he approach you?"

"Just an ant obsessed with power~" Izanbaron V. Nasjuro said coldly. "It doesn't matter how he found me. What's important is what we do now. According to the latest intelligence reported by Kong, it's confirmed that not only the Three Admirals and a host of Vice Admirals at Marine Headquarters have chosen to stand behind Akira, but personnel changes are also occurring in many bases in the Four Seas and the Grand Line. Akira is clearly aiming to gain complete control of the Navy from top to bottom!"

"If he dares to launch a mutiny and seize full control of the Navy now, he will undoubtedly use the Navy to his advantage and turn against the World Government in the future!"

"Therefore, my suggestion is, while he is still not fully established, have Kong lead all troops except the Navy to surround Marineford! I can guarantee that once the entire army advances, someone at Marine Headquarters will defect on the spot! After all, once they follow Akira and oppose the World Government, they will forever bear the stigma of traitors!"

"Calm yourself, Izanbaron," the Legal God, Topman Warcury, waved his hand, his expression serious. "This is a grave matter, and we need to deliberate further."

"First, we need to understand Akira's objective. If he merely wishes to become the Fleet Admiral of Marine Headquarters, then we will grant him this wish and let him officially replace Sengoku."

"Of course, this is merely a delaying tactic. As long as he behaves himself and obeys the Holy Land's orders after becoming the Fleet Admiral, we will slowly sow discord within the Navy and then, when the time is right, arrest and execute him!"

"Because he has just taken charge of the Navy and his influence is at its peak, even if Kong personally leads the entire army to attack, even if we ultimately achieve victory, it will be a situation where we lose as much as we gain!"

"And if we go to war with the Navy led by Akira, it will inevitably plunge the Grand Line into unprecedented chaos. If pirates, the Four Emperors of the New World, or the Revolutionary Army seize this opportunity to attack, we will be put in a passive position, and it might even cause some wavering member nations to defect!"

"I don't think so!" Izanbaron V. Nasjuro stepped forward and said gravely. "The situation you describe is when Kong and Akira's Navy are locked in a stalemate. It's undeniable that Marine Headquarters currently has the Three Admirals, many Vice Admirals, and nearly 100,000 Navy soldiers. It's almost impossible for Kong to suppress them in a short period!"

He paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up. "But what if the Knights of God intervene? With such a major upheaval at Marine Headquarters, there's no reason for Figarland Garling not to step in! As long as Figarland Garling leads the Knights of God to Marine Headquarters and ties down the Three Admirals, the other Navy generals will be nothing to fear!"

"As for the lawless Akira, he is merely a Vice Admiral."

"Furthermore, we still have the CP departments, especially CP9 led by Rob Lucci. Lucci is the strongest and most ruthless killing machine in CP9 history. They have been lurking in Water 7 for the past year and can be used as a surprise force to infiltrate Marine Headquarters. Speed is of the essence. As long as we eliminate Akira in one swift move, not only will this mutiny end, but the Revolutionary Army, or the so-called Four Emperors of the New World, will find that by the time they react, the situation will have been brought back under our control. They wouldn't dare to cause trouble at this point!"

Upon hearing this, Topman fell silent. The other three Five Elders looked at Topman in unison, clearly agreeing with Izanbaron's proposed course of action.

"Impossible~"

Just then, a somewhat sharp voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately after, the door to the Chamber of Power was pushed open, and a tall figure appeared before the Five Elders.

The newcomer was clad in a cloak that dragged to the ground, completely concealing their body except for a pair of dark red, rippling eyes. An invisible, suffocating aura of terror emanated from them, causing the Five Elders, who held the highest authority in the world, to hastily rise and step forward, then kneel in unison and prostrate themselves on the ground. "Lord Im!"

"This Akira is not as simple as you imagine!"

Im, fully enveloped in his cloak, slowly walked past the Five Elders and stood before the massive floor-to-ceiling window, his back to them. Controlling his voice, he said calmly, "A battle broke out at Marine Headquarters earlier. To be precise, it was a clash of Conqueror's Haki!"

"Among the two Conqueror's Haki that collided, I sensed a familiar aura, very similar to the Conqueror's Haki possessed by Joy Boy back then!"

As soon as he said this, the Five Elders turned to look at Im with horrified expressions.

"It seems you don't know much about this Akira!"

Im slowly turned around, a cold glint flashing in his dark red, rippling eyes. "Have you been sitting in the position of the Five Elders for too long, and your old eyes have gone blurry?"

The sudden remark sent a cold sweat down the spines of the Five Elders. Im immediately changed the subject. "You don't need to interfere with this matter anymore. I will send the Knights of God to investigate! As long as this mutinous Akira is not from the D Clan, or has no connection to Joy Boy, this so-called mutiny is merely a change of personnel for the Fleet Admiral of Marine Headquarters!"

Meanwhile.

As personnel changes suddenly occurred in the Four Seas and various Marine branch bases in the Grand Line, spies from various factions lurking in these branch bases immediately sent out their intelligence.

Even Marine Headquarters received intelligence that was transmitted to the Revolutionary Army Headquarters via an encrypted Den Den Mushi.

Grand Line, Revolutionary Army Headquarters, Baldigo.

In the icy snow, a Revolutionary Army cadre, holding the newly received top-secret intelligence, rushed towards a tent not far ahead at the fastest possible speed.

"Leader, Leader!"

Upon rushing into the tent, the Revolutionary Army cadre gasped for breath and said, "Top-secret intelligence has arrived from Marine Headquarters. Former Marine Vice Admiral Akira launched a mutiny last night and has taken control of Marine Headquarters this morning. An unprecedented internal purge is now underway at many Marine bases in the Four Seas and the Grand Line. All base commanders have been replaced by Akira's trusted confidants!"

As the cadre finished speaking, the tent fell into a deathly silence.

Seated at the head of a conference table in the tent was none other than the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon. Because he led the Revolutionary Army with the sole objective of overthrowing the World Government, he was listed as the most heinous criminal by the World Government at the World Conference two years ago.

After a brief silence, Dragon, clad in a green cloak and bearing a fierce scar on his face, said with disbelief, "Vice Admiral Akira? The youngest Vice Admiral who suddenly rose to prominence at Headquarters in the last three years? What in the world is going on? How could a Vice Admiral dare to launch a mutiny, and succeed? When did Marine Headquarters become so vulnerable?!"

The reporting cadre replied, "This intelligence was sent by that person himself, there's absolutely no mistake!"

"Understood!" Hearing that the intelligence came from that person, Dragon stood up decisively and ordered, "Issue an order to the Five Armies to closely monitor the World Government's every move. As soon as they engage in battle with the Navy controlled by Akira, the Five Armies will attack simultaneously and take this opportunity to liberate as many countries as possible!"
