The Five Elders' Speculation-Could It Be the Four Emperors?!

At this moment, in the Highest Authority Room of Mary Geoise, the Five Elders were listening to a CP0 report.

"So, you still haven't found any trace of the Blood-Eyed Ninja?" Saint Nusjuro said with a grim face.

Feeling the pressure, CP0 immediately broke out in a cold sweat, lowered his head, and said, "Yes..."

"What a bunch of useless trash!"

So many days have passed and there's still no trace of the Blood-Eyed Ninja... What are these CP0 agents even doing?

Are they all just good-for-nothings?!

"We've sent out a lot of people, but we just can't get any information about him," CP0 said.

He desperately wanted to find that guy's location, but the problem was... it was simply impossible!

"Waste!"

CP0 shuddered in fright, but dared not say anything more.

After glancing at CP0, Saint Saturn said, "Is it possible that the Whitebeard Pirates hid them?"

You mean...?

"Hmm." Saint Saturn nodded and said, "During the battle at Navy Headquarters, the Blood-Eyed Ninja helped the Whitebeard Pirates rescue Fire Fist Ace, and later even helped them retrieve Whitebeard's body, so..."

"But the Navy has said that the Blood-Eyed Ninja refused the Whitebeard Pirates ' protection," Saint Peter said.

Many Marines overheard Whitebeard's conversation with the Blood-Eyed Ninja, so this information naturally reached their ears as well.

You believe him just because he says so?

Saint Saturn glanced at Saint Peter and said, "What if it's Smoke Screen deliberately put out?"

After all, that guy was in the Navy Headquarters back then, so it's normal for him not to tell the truth.

Saint Peter wasn't angry at being rebuffed. Instead, he thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded and said, "Hmm, that's also a possibility."

The Blood-Eyed Ninja had seen Bartholomew Kuma in the Thriller Bark naturally knew the World Government's objectives, so it's possible that they used this method to evade the World Government's pursuit.

"Alright then," Saint Vowchuri thought for a moment, then looked at CP0 and said, "Investigate the recent situation of those Four Emperors, and see if the Blood-Eyed Ninja is on their side."

CP0:???

Investigating the Four Emperors?

Him?

If they get caught, won't they be beaten to death?

But when CP0 saw Saint Vowchuri's expression, they fell silent, then forced themselves to say, "Understood!"

Go ahead.

"Yes!"

After watching the other party leave, Saint Saturn turned his gaze to Saint Vowchuri and said, "Do you think... the other Four Emperors might also be interested in this kid?"

"Otherwise what?"

Saint Vowchuri retorted, "You don't really think those guys aren't interested in the Blood-Eyed Ninja, do you?"

Ninja with special bloodlines possess a variety of powerful abilities...

What guy wouldn't be interested in someone like that?

Stop joking, okay?!

"Hmm... that seems to be true." Saint Saturn nodded.

When Saint Vowchuri heard what Saint Saturn said, the first person he thought of was Big Mom. That guy's favorite thing was collecting people of all kinds of Special Race, so it's normal that he was interested in Bloodline Ninja.

'I wonder if that guy can still have children now?' Saint Saturn wondered to himself.

Perhaps as if he had thought of something, Saint Saturn's eyes became somewhat strange.

"Kaido and Big Mom would definitely be interested in the Blood-Eyed Ninja," Saint Mars said. "Therefore, I agree with Saint Vowchuri."

"Hopefully, they're not in the hands of those two," Saint Saturn said. "Otherwise, things will get complicated."

Although they weren't afraid of the Four Emperors, they didn't want to get into a conflict with those guys if they could.

After all... they still need those Four Emperors to maintain stability in the New World!

"Is there any need to investigate that red-haired guy?" Saint Peter asked.

Although that guy is a pirate and even became one of the Four Emperors of the New World, in a sense, he's one of our own.

After all, that guy is Celestial Dragons!

"No, it is still necessary," said Saint Vowchuri.

"Do you think he's untrustworthy?"

Upon hearing this, Saint Vowchuri paused for a moment, then said softly, "He is, after all, Celestial Dragons grew up outside..."

If the other person grew up in the Holy Land, then he wouldn't have any doubts about this man.

But... he grew up in Roger Pirates, so we have to be careful!

Recalling Shanks' past actions, Saint Peter nodded and said, "That's true."

Although the other party is Celestial Dragons, they did not grow up in the Holy Land, so their thinking will be very different from theirs. We must be wary!

"However...finding someone from those three guys' territory won't be an easy task," Saint Nusjuro said.

"That's true."

Finding someone in the territory of one of the Four Emperors is no easy task, after all... it's easy to clash with the Four Emperors Crew!

However, in order to obtain the Blood-Eyed Ninja, they had to do this!

"That guy might not even be with one of the Four Emperors," Saint Saturn said.

You mean...?

"Hmm, the Blood-Eyed Ninja and the Straw Hat might also be hiding on one of the islands in Paradise."

Relying on the Blood-Eyed Ninja's Water Release Technique, those two can go anywhere!

"Then let's get the CPs moving," said Saint Nusjuro. "One group will search in the New World, and the other in Paradise."

Although doing so might seem like going to great lengths, he felt there was nothing wrong with it when he thought about the benefits he could gain.

After all... that's immense power!

"That's the only way."

Just then, Saint Vowchuri said, "Do you think... the Blood-Eyed Ninja might come looking for trouble with us?"

Upon hearing this, the other four were stunned.

Then, Saint Saturn frowned and said, "It's best not to."

While they really wanted to capture this guy, they didn't want him to cause trouble in their Holy Land territory, after all... that guy's abilities were indeed quite troublesome!

Thinking of this, Saint Saturn continued, "That guy's abilities are dangerous; if he comes to the Holy Land, he could cause incalculable losses."

"That's what I think too," Saint Vowchuri nodded. "So we should try to capture him outside and then send him directly to Egghead."

Since that guy has already rejected their offer, there's no need to treat him well; just send him to be used as cloning material!

"By the way... why do you have such thoughts?" Saint Peter asked curiously.

"Because Straw Hat might die in this war," said Saint Vowchuri.

According to the intelligence they received, the Straw Hat were unconscious when he left, which, combined with the fact that he had previously been poisoned by Magellan's toxin...

Therefore, he judged that the other party might die!

"So you think that guy might come back for revenge?" Saint Saturn said.

"Yes."

"Hmm... that possibility cannot be ruled out."

Saint Saturn thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's strengthen the defenses of the Holy Land for the time being."

"Reconsider!"

The others nodded in agreement with Saint Saturn's idea.

After the matter of the Blood-Eyed Ninja was temporarily settled, the group picked up another piece of intelligence from the table.

"These guys have been making quite a stir lately," said Saint Vowchuri, who was watching the intelligence report.

It contained information about the recent activities of the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates.

Both groups have been attacking Whitebeard Pirates ' base recently, and have already captured quite a bit of territory.

"That's quite a commotion," Saint Saturn said. "I reckon it won't be long before these guys wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates."

Now it's not just the Four Emperors Crew attacking the Whitebeard Pirates ' island; even some pirates who think they can replace Whitebeard are attacking the Whitebeard Pirates ' base!

It's fair to say that after losing Whitebeard, a pillar of strength, everyone wanted to go up and see if they could do it.

"It's unlikely they'll be completely wiped out," Saint Mars said. "But they should be scattered."

"Scatter them...?"

"Hmm." Saint Mars nodded and said, "If they're smart enough, they'll disband the Whitebeard Pirates and leave the base, which would reduce the pressure they face."

Upon hearing this, Saint Saturn sneered and said, "Ha, Whitebeard is their pride, would they do such a thing?"

"Then it's their own choice," Saint Mars said. "Pride or death."

Without someone capable of leading the crew, the Whitebeard Pirates are destined to disappear!

The difference lies in whether they disband themselves or are eliminated by others.

"No, there's another possibility," Saint Nusjuro suddenly said, raising his head.

What are the possibilities?

"The Whitebeard Pirates have reclaimed their position as one of the Four Emperors Crew!"

"How is that possible?" Saint Saturn retorted, "Without a powerhouse of Whitebeard's caliber, they simply couldn't hold onto that position!"

The reason why the Four Emperors Crew are called the Four Emperors Crew is mainly because their captains possess strength that is no less than that of the other Four Emperors!

But Whitebeard is already dead!

Therefore, they have absolutely no chance of securing that position!

Unless... unless someone from the Whitebeard Pirates can step forward again!

But is that even possible?

Who else in the Whitebeard Pirates can rival the other Four Emperors?

Marco?

Don't be ridiculous, that guy has no chance against the other Four Emperors.

At that moment, a name came to Saint Saturn.

' Fire Fist Ace...'

Could it be that Saint Nusjuro is referring to this guy with the bloodline of the Pirate King?

Thinking of this, Saint Saturn frowned.

"It seems you've thought of that too," Saint Nusjuro said.

Saint Saturn paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "What makes you think that kid with the bloodline of the Pirate King can rival the other Four Emperors?"

"Because he's the Son of the Pirate King," Saint Nusjuro said. "Having that guy's bloodline, his potential is definitely not low."

"Of course, I'm referring to potential, not ability."

"Potential, huh...?"

Saint Saturn frowned upon hearing this, but he didn't say anything more and instead lowered his head to think.

After a moment, he said, "Hmm, what you said does make some sense."

"But that's assuming that guy can survive being surrounded by so many pirate crews."

If he survives, it proves that he is indeed qualified in this area.

If he can't... then it just means he's nothing special.

"In that case, this guy is somewhat of a threat," said Saint Vowchuri, frowning. "Why don't we send someone to take him out?"

"This will also solve this problem."

"Do we even need to lift a finger?" Saint Saturn said. "There are plenty of people in the New World who want his head."

Not everyone will like him just because he's the Son of the Pirate King; most people would rather rip his head off to prove themselves!

Therefore... the chances of the other party dying are very high.

Well, it's also possible that he could be killed by members of one of the other Four Emperors Crew.

"That's true, but relying on pirates isn't safe," said Saint Vowchuri. "So I think it's better to send someone to handle it."

"I agree with Saint Vowchuri," Saint Peter said. "After all... the remnants of Roger Pirates are still alive!"

Although Fire Fist Ace was unwilling to admit that he was Roger's son, that guy was, after all, a descendant of the Pirate King!

It would be bad if someone tried to use this to their advantage, so... Fire Fist Ace must die!

Saint Saturn thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Yes, let's do it that way."

"While monitoring the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, look for an opportunity to take down Fire Fist Ace!"

"Reconsider!"

The other four old men nodded in agreement.

No matter what, that guy has to die!

After confirming the matter, the group stopped discussing it.

"There's a vacancy in the Shichibukai. Do you have any good candidates?" Saint Peter asked.

Although there is also a vacancy among the Four Emperors, it will be filled sooner or later!

So... they need to fill the Shichibukai as soon as possible!

"The Shichibukai..."

Saint Mars stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then said, "So far, I haven't seen any good candidates."

"What about that guy called Clown Buggy?" Saint Saturn asked.

"He?"

Recalling the man who dared to livestream the battle at Navy Headquarters, Saint Mars frowned and said, "That apprentice on the Pirate King's ship...?"

"Yes."

Saint Saturn nodded and said, "If this guy were willing to become Shichibukai, wouldn't that be a good way to dampen the arrogance of pirates?"

If that guy is willing to accept the title of Shichibukai, it's tantamount to him willingly becoming a dog for the World Government.

In this way... the authority of the World Government can be better demonstrated!

What do you guys think?

"I think it's fine," Saint Nusjuro said. "He's a good candidate."

They could even use Clown Buggy's status as a member of the Pirate King's crew to their advantage, thus demonstrating the magnanimity of the World Government!

"I also think it's fine."

Saint Peter and Saint Vowchuri nodded in agreement.

"Then let's include him," said Saint Mars.

I'll send that guy an invitation after a while and see if he's willing to become Shichibukai.

"What about the other empty seats?"

"If we can't find a good candidate yet, let's leave it vacant for now," said Saint Vowchuri.

The position of Shichibukai is extremely important and cannot be taken lightly.

"That's the only way."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing!" Saint Vowchuri said as if he had just remembered something, "Sengoku has come to the Holy Land, looks like he's going to find Kong."

What is he doing here?

"He probably wants to take responsibility for this war," Saint Saturn guessed. "That's what he said during that war too."

That statement was made by the other party in front of everyone during the war, so he must be held responsible for this incident!

"Is the person in charge... planning to resign from the position of Fleet Admiral?" Saint Peter asked, frowning.

Sengoku is quite a useful guy; if he just leaves like this... it might not be a good thing for their World Government.

"That's possible."

"Isn't that perfect?" Saint Mars said. "It's perfect for us to bring in a more obedient Marshal."

You mean...?

"That's right, Sakazuki!" Saint Mars said, his eyes gleaming. "This guy is much more obedient than the others."

They do whatever they're told; they're very obedient dogs.

Therefore... it would be more advantageous for them to make the other side the Marshal!

"Sakazuki, huh...?"

The group exchanged glances, then revealed sly smiles.

"Reconsider!"

"I wonder what's going on with that guy now," Saint Peter said. "I remember the Blood-Eyed Ninja used his ability to create a hole in him, right?"

That's true.

Recalling the lava hole that had been punched into Sakazuki by the Xi Yan, Saint Saturn's expression became somewhat solemn.

If that guy can't be cured, then their plans will be in vain.

Thinking of this, Saint Saturn said, "Send someone to the navy to find him and do everything in your power to heal him!"

This guy is the perfect Marine Admiral for them, so... we absolutely cannot let him die!

"Reconsider!!"
