The Five Elders Stunned: The Blood-Eyed Ninja Has Come for Them?!

"Akainu cannot be cured?"

The Five Elders were dumbfounded upon hearing their subordinate's report.

So many days have passed, and it still can't be cured?

Why is it incurable?

Saint Nusjuro frowned as he looked at the CP member standing in front of him and said, "Tell me the details."

"Yes."

The CP member swallowed hard and then said, "We've tried many methods to heal Admiral Akainu's abdominal wound, but every time it just reverts to its original state."

"It's as if... as if there's some unseen energy affecting Admiral Akainu's body."

They tried many methods: Devil Fruit abilities, special medical equipment, and even some of Vegapunk's machines!

Unfortunately, none of this can change Admiral 'Akainu current situation.

Hearing what this CP member said, the five elders' expressions all turned somewhat ugly.

After pondering for a moment, Saint Saturn asked, "Have you tried Sea Stone?"

Although that Blood-Eyed Ninja wasn't Devil Fruit User, the Sea Stone might still have a surprising effect.

"This..."

"Explain!"

"Vegapunk said that Akainu Admiral's physical condition is very special, and if Sea Stone is used, it might kill him on the spot," a CP member said.

Saint Saturn paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "That's certainly possible."

If that energy will remain attached to Sakazuki indefinitely, then using Sea Stone would indeed be suicidal.

After all... losing the ability to Elementalization, such injuries could be fatal to Akainu!

Therefore, it is correct not to use Sea Stone.

"Alright, we understand. You may leave now," Saint Nusjuro, waving his hand.

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the CP members respectfully lowered their heads, then turned and left.

After the other party left, Saint Vowchuri said, "If Sakazuki really can't be cured, then we'll have to change our plans."

"That's true." Saint Mars rubbed his temples and said, "After all, we can't appoint an incurable wounded soldier as Fleet Admiral."

They certainly had high hopes for Sakazuki, but if he couldn't be Marshal, those hopes would be useless.

"Are you suggesting we make that Aokiji the Marshal?" Saint Peter frowned. "I'm not too happy with him."

Back when this guy was carrying out the Buster Call on Ohara, he secretly let Nico Robin, the Devil Child, go free!

This shows that his ideology is flawed, which is why he didn't want this guy to be the Fleet Admiral.

"I also disagree with this guy becoming the Fleet Admiral," Saint Saturn said.

Saint Saturn knew quite a bit about Aokiji.

Lazy justice?

No!

That's not lazy justice at all!

That guy just felt that their World Government's actions were wrong, which is why he reacted that way!

Such a person can be Admiral, but absolutely not a Marshal!

He can be the knife, but he absolutely cannot be the hand holding the knife!

"Then what do we do?" Saint Nusjuro frowned. "Are we going to make Borsalino the Fleet Admiral?"

Upon hearing this, the other four people fell silent.

Then, Borsalino's image unconsciously appeared in the minds of the five of them.

(Within the mouth~)

The Five Elders:...

"He doesn't seem as good as Aokiji at all," Saint Peter said, his lips twitching.

That guy's level of laziness is way worse than Aokiji's; I don't know how this bastard turned out like this.

"Borsalino is indeed unsuitable," said Saint Saturn.

As he spoke, Saint Saturn glanced at the other four old men and said, "That guy is a 'Glint Man' who ate the Glint-Glint Fruit; he's the most mobile Marine Admiral."

"It's such a waste to have someone like him as Marshal stationed at the Navy Headquarters."

In his view, someone like Borsalino would be best suited to be a Marine Admiral who could move around at any time, so as to maximize benefits!

Saint Vowchuri pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true."

Their Holy Land might also need the support of Marine Admiral, so Borsalino, the fastest guy, really can't become Fleet Admiral.

"Then let's forget about him and think about Sakazuki instead," Saint Nusjuro said.

Borsalino's personality is just too awful; making him Marshal would be a disaster.

Besides... given that guy's personality, he might not be willing to accept the position of Marshal, so Sakazuki is a better choice.

"That's true, but the problem is that that guy can't be cured right now," said Saint Vowchuri.

They certainly knew Sakazuki was a better fit, but the problem was his injury couldn't be healed!

"Just because it can't be cured now doesn't mean it can't be cured in the future," Saint Saturn said.

"But Sengoku has already submitted his resignation!" Saint Mars said, "He can only delay things for another month or two at most."

"Then let's make a decision in a month or two!" Saint Saturn said. "If Sakazuki still can't be cured by then..."

He paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "We'll have to let Aokiji go."

Although he didn't particularly like Aokiji as Marine Admiral, if Akainu couldn't handle the job, he had no choice but to select Aokiji, since... Aokiji was much stronger than Borsalino!

As for whether or not to airlift a Fleet Admiral over...

Don't be ridiculous. Without sufficient prestige, one cannot secure that position, which is why the Five Elders never intended to do so in the first place.

The other four old men were silent for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "That's the only way."

They just hope that Sakazuki, whom they favor most, can be cured as soon as possible, so that they can have a most obedient Fleet Admiral!

Once this was decided, everyone stopped thinking about it.

Then, they focused their attention on the Wanted Order belonging to Xi Yan on the table.

"This guy's abilities are rather strange," Saint Mars said. "There's a high chance he can affect our immortality."

"That's highly likely," Saint Saturn nodded. "His abilities probably involve time or space, and they can indeed suppress our immortality."

"If you fight him... it's best not to get pierced through the body by his spear."

Although they won't die even if they're split in two, the inability to heal will render them unable to fight.

By that point... whether or not you get killed won't make much of a difference.

"That's true, but putting it into practice is not an easy task," Saint Mars said, rubbing his temples.

Their Haki was indeed very powerful, but that kid's strength was not weak either!

After all... he wounded two Marine Admiral in that war!

Just then, a series of booming sounds came from outside, as if someone was attacking Mary Geoise with cannonballs.

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Um?"

Glancing towards the window, Saint Mars frowned and asked, "What happened? Where did that explosion come from?"

Was a Celestial Dragons playing with cannonballs in the Holy Land, or had a slave gone berserk?

Something's wrong... something's very wrong!

Saint Saturn was using his Observation Haki to sense the situation outside with his eyes closed, said, "There are many unfamiliar presences outside, and those sounds are from their cannon fire."

"An unfamiliar aura?!"

Upon hearing Saint Saturn's words, the expressions on their faces immediately changed.

Could it be that the Revolutionary Army who are giving them a headache have stormed into Mary Geoise?

Damn it, what are those guards outside doing? Why haven't they sent any messages back?

"What a bunch of useless fools," Saint Nusjuro said, standing up. "They don't even realize that Revolutionary Army are coming to their door."

"They're not necessarily Revolutionary Army," said Saint Vowchuri, frowning. "I feel it's more like slaves who have gone berserk."

"Rampage?"

"How is that possible!" Saint Saturn retorted, "Without outsiders, these slaves couldn't possibly..."

He paused before he could finish speaking, then looked at him with disbelief and said, "Could it be that..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden knock on the Great Gate, and a voice outside called out, "Lord Five Elders, I have important news to report!"

Saint Saturn, who had been interrupted, paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

"Bump!"

The Great Gate was pushed open from the outside, and the person rushed in and knelt respectfully on the ground.

"Reporting to the Five Elders, the slaves have rioted," the man said, bowing his head.

"So that's how it is..." Saint Vowchuri said, frowning.

It seems to be similar to what he sensed using Observation Haki; the slaves have indeed gone berserk.

He then asked, "Have you figured out what the cause was?"

"It's... it's still unclear."

"Don't understand?"

Saint Vowchuri's voice suddenly rose a octave, and he said, "What are you all good for?"

The commotion had already reached them, which meant that the slaves had been active outside for some time.

In this situation... haven't these guys figured things out yet?

Were all their previous orders wasted?

What a bunch of useless trash!

"We only know that someone released those slaves, but we don't know who."

"Have all the Celestial Dragons been protected?" Saint Nusjuro asked.

"We've already sent people to protect the adults, but..."

Upon hearing this "but," Saint Nusjuro's expression darkened, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"Explain!"

"Several Celestial Dragons have already been killed," the man said, his face grim.

As he spoke, cold sweat appeared on his face, clearly indicating that he was under immense pressure.

With so many Celestial Dragons dead this time, he might be...

Where are their guards?

"He's dead too."

These words silenced the Five Elders.

After a moment, Saint Vowchuri said, "Someone actually managed to kill several Celestial Dragons silently..."

"Who did this?"

Able to release a large number of slaves while simultaneously killing several Celestial Dragons...

The opponent is definitely not weak!

"Could it have been that guy?" Saint Saturn asked.

He had this idea just now, but he hadn't said it out loud yet.

"You mean the Blood-Eyed Ninja?"

"Yes."

Saint Saturn nodded and said, "This guy possesses many special abilities suitable for infiltration; perhaps it really is him, who knows?"

Besides, Saint Saturn couldn't think of anyone else who could sneak into their Mary Geoise so quietly.

After all... there are guards everywhere outside!

"Could it really be him?" Saint Vowchuri frowned.

Will the Blood-Eyed Ninja they've been searching for actually come to Mary Geoise to cause them trouble?

Is this reasonable?

Just then, a guard in armor ran over and shouted, "Lord Five Elders, we have found out who the enemy who came to the Holy Land is!"

Upon hearing this, the Five Elders's eyes lit up.

Ignoring the man's unruly behavior, Saint Vowchuri immediately said, "Speak, who is it?!"

"Blood-Eyed Ninja!"

"This guy is currently in the eastern part of the Holy Land!" the guard said quickly.

He saw it clearly: the man in that strange pose was the Blood-Eyed Ninja they were focusing on!

Five Elders:???

No, it really is this guy?

"This guy's audacity is beyond my wildest imagination!" Saint Vowchuri slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "He actually dares to cause trouble in our Holy Land!!"

"Is he planning to emulate Fisher Tiger's liberation of Mary Geoise's slaves?"

Recalling the Fish-Man's face, Saint Vowchuri's eyes turned cold.

"It seems so," Saint Saturn said with a grim face.

Besides this, he couldn't think of any other purpose for the other party coming to Mary Geoise.

"You two go immediately and inform the Holy Land's Taxi Soldiers to suppress those slaves," Saint Mars said coldly. "No survivors, understand?!"

He figured he could just kill the slaves and then catch more, so he didn't care.

"Yes!"

The two people kneeling on the ground nodded, then turned and left.

"The slaves are manageable; the guards can probably suppress them," said Saint Saturn. "But that Blood-Eyed Ninja..."

Although he didn't finish his sentence, the other four understood what he meant.

There's no way the guards could possibly defeat that Blood-Eyed Ninja's practically immortal!

After all... that guy is really strong!

Only by deploying Marine Admiral or the God's Knights could they possibly take down this guy!

"Notify the God's Knights," said Saint Nusjuro. "Send someone to check the situation."

Let's see if the Blood-Eyed Ninja's abilities can truly counter their immortality!

If they were truly restrained, those Five Elders wouldn't have gone out so easily. If they couldn't... then let this guy see how terrifying a demon can be!

The others understood what Saint Nusjuro meant, so they all nodded knowingly.

"Not only should we notify the God's Knights, but we should also have the Navy send Admiral support us!" Saint Vowchuri said coldly, "This time, we will completely eliminate this damned Blood-Eyed Ninja!"

Since this bastard has delivered himself to their doorstep, they don't need to be polite to him.

Just take it down!

"That's right!" Saint Saturn sneered. "This time, let him become my experimental subject."

"Even if they die, it's fine!"

If they could get that guy's body, they could clone a Blood-Eyed Ninja!

'Who knows, maybe we'll be able to create Seraphim with Ninjutsu abilities by then,' Saint Saturn murmured to himself.

As if he had just thought of something, his eyes lit up.

"Reconsider!!"

"That's settled then. We must take down the Bloodline Ninja!"
