Holy Land Mary Geoise, among the Flower Chamber.

This is Imu's bedroom, completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

Aqua, dressed in a pure white dress, happily followed behind Imu, carrying a flowerpot.

Imu walked barefoot on the soft carpet without making a sound. His dark red eyes were devoid of any emotion, but his voice was unusually gentle. "Aqua, shall we go take a look at the vegetable garden?"

"Okay, Mother Imu." Aqua nodded happily.

Just then, a figure flashed over and knelt on one knee before Imu. "Gunko greets Lord Im."

Imu tilted his head, a hint of confusion in his dark red eyes. "I just sensed a very familiar aura, but... I can't remember who it is."

Gunko, kneeling on the ground, felt a sudden sinking feeling in his heart.

As expected, Lord Im's memory is deteriorating more and more severely.

Thinking this to himself, Gunko dared not be negligent and respectfully reported, "Reporting to Lord Im, it was Lord Akira who sent the New World pirate Red-Haired Shanks flying to the Holy Land. The commotion just now was caused by Shanks crashing into the artificial forest."

"Shanks?" Imu blinked, repeating the name with a blank look in his eyes. "Who is that?"

She seemed to have no recollection of the name.

Then, she whispered another name.

"And who is Akira? Oh, I remember now, he's mine..."

Imu stopped mid-sentence, his brow furrowing slightly as if he were trying to recall something.

"Who is he... Mu's?"

Gunko's lips twitched uncontrollably beneath the bandages wrapped around his face.

It's over.

Lord Im has actually begun to forget his memories related to Lord Akira!

This is absolutely no small matter! We must contact Lord Akira immediately!

Suppressing her worries, she continued, "Lord Im, Shanks is one of the few remaining powerful pirates in the New World. He is also the twin brother of Shamrock, the captain of the Knights of God. He once lived in the Holy Land and was a member of the Knights of God—"

"I remember now."

Imu suddenly spoke, interrupting Gunko: "Akira and I have an agreement: he will handle external affairs, and I will handle internal affairs."

As if she had finally recalled the most important part of her memory, the confusion on her face vanished, and she returned to her calm and indifferent expression.

"Alright, that's all. You can go now."

After saying that, Imu took Aqua's little hand and walked towards her vegetable garden, leaving Gunko kneeling on the spot, bewildered.

Watching Imu carrying Aqua disappear into the depths of the garden, Gunko quickly stood up.

The bandages beneath her feet instantly came to life, rapidly intertwining and forming a giant arrow in the blink of an eye.

Gunko stepped on the arrow, soaring into the sky and flying directly out of the Flower Chamber, speeding towards the Chamber of Power.

The Chamber of Power.

When Gunko arrived, the atmosphere inside was quite lively.

"Nusjuro! What gives you the right to cut my landscaping budget?!"

Environmental God Sengoku, his beard bristling and eyes bulging, pointed at the Financial God Nusjuro's nose and cursed, "You bald head, if you can't be the Financial God, then hurry up and rotate in someone more capable!"

Nusjuro said coldly, "It's still early for my turn to be on duty. As long as I remain the Financial God, don't even think about using the budget as a pretext to cultivate your own wasteland."

"You're talking nonsense! Am I cultivating wasteland for myself? It's Akira who wants to cultivate and graft an orange grove in the Holy Land!"

"You're the one talking nonsense! You're the one who wants to eat oranges from the East Blue, don't drag Akira into everything!"

"Fine, fine, you're determined to reduce it, aren't you? Let's go, someone just fell from the sky and destroyed a man-made forest, let's go there and have a fight!"

"Fine, I'll leave then. You think I'm afraid of you?"

The confrontation between the two did not affect the other three Five Elders; naturally, they had all gotten used to it!

The Agricultural God Zephyr and the Science Defense God Saint Saturn sat facing each other in front of a chessboard.

Zephyr held a black piece, his brow furrowed, while Saint Saturn smiled confidently, victory assured.

The Legal God, Worcester, sat to the side, watching the game in silence.

Seeing this scene, Gunko was at a loss for words.

Don't these people... realize what's happening outside?

She took a deep breath, abandoned her attempt to be tactful, and spoke directly.

"My esteemed Five Elders, could you please set aside your current tasks? Gunko have a matter of utmost urgency to report."

Sengoku spoke first, glaring fiercely at Nusjuro, and said in a deep voice, "Gunko, whatever your pressing matters may be, put them aside for now! Today, I must settle things with Nusjuro, both in terms of skill and life or death!"

Gunko's bandages trembled slightly, and then he said in a very serious tone, "Lord Sengoku, I can tell you with certainty that you can determine a winner with Saint Nusjuro, but you cannot decide a life-or-death situation."

"Because you can't kill Saint Nusjuro."

Sengoku was momentarily speechless, then retorted defiantly, "I'll break his immortality sooner or later! Hmph~"

After giving a cold snort, he immediately changed the subject. "Speak, what important matter has made you personally come to the Chamber of Power?"

Gunko didn't delay any longer, his expression more serious than ever before.

"Lord Im's memories have been fading every day lately. Just now she asked me who Lord Akira is to her."

Upon hearing this statement...

The expressions of the three veteran Five Elders – Saint Saturn, Saint Warcury, and Saint Nusjuro– all changed drastically!

Meanwhile, Sengoku and Zephyr, the two newly appointed Five Elders, looked completely bewildered.

"Lord Im has lost his memory?" Sengoku blinked blankly. "What's going on? I've never heard you mention this before?"

Zephyr frowned as well. "Having lived for eight hundred years, even with immense strength as a foundation, isn't it normal to lose some memories?"

The Legal God Worcester, explained, "Lord Im loses parts of his memory every so often. In the past, this was a trivial matter. But now, Lord Im's loss of memory will be a massive accident capable of overturning the world!"

"Because Akira became the Navy Marshal through a coup, and he carried out an unprecedented reorganization and purge of the Holy Land, once Lord Im loses all his memories related to Akira, and learns of the changes in the Holy Land..."

Worcester didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood the unspoken message.

Lord Im will surely be enraged by this, which could trigger a civil war!

The bewilderment on Sengoku and Zephyr's faces vanished instantly.

After a brief silence, Sengoku stood up, looked at Gunko, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any way to ensure that Lord Im doesn't lose his memories related to Akira?"

"There's only one way," Gunko replied. "Contact Lord Akira immediately and have him return to the Holy Land to appear before Lord Im. Only in this way can Lord Im regain his memories related to Lord Akira."

"Then what are you still standing here for?!"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku panicked and almost jumped up. "Contact Akira immediately!"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Gunko blinked slowly, his reaction somewhat sluggish.

The next second, she suddenly realized, and said with a blank expression, "Oh right, Gunko can contact Lord Akira directly!"

Seeing her belated reaction, Sengoku and Zephyr widened their eyes almost simultaneously and exclaimed in unison, "You haven't lost some of your memories either, have you?!"
