The Five Elders' View, the Navy's Justice!

"That brat Doflamingo," Saint Nusjuro said with a displeased expression, "What does he take us for?"

How dare you talk to him like that... Do you have a death wish?

"This guy knows the secret of the National Treasure, so naturally he's very arrogant," Saint Saturn said expressionlessly.

Although he was very unhappy, he had to admit that Doflamingo was someone who knew how to seize opportunities.

"It's no big deal to publish a fake newspaper once," Saint Peter said calmly. "We can just pin it all on that Morgans guy anyway."

Since it wouldn't affect the prestige of their World Government anyway, Saint Peter didn't mind playing along with Doflamingo for a bit.

As for whether that kid will push his luck...

He believed Doflamingo was a smart man and wouldn't do anything unnecessary.

Otherwise... death awaits him!

The others nodded in agreement as they listened to Saint Peter's words, which was why they were willing to agree to Doflamingo's request.

As for whether people on the high seas will overthink it...

That's not a problem for them to worry about, as long as it doesn't affect their World Government's control over the seas.

Then, Saint Vowchuri asked, "What do you think of the suggestion Doflamingo mentioned?"

"Of course, it's support."

Saint Nusjuro said without hesitation, "If we can seize this opportunity to capture Fire Fist Ace, we can use it to suppress the arrogance of the pirates!"

That kid's growth rate in the last two years has been too fast. If given more time, he might become a Four Emperors- level figure. So it's best to nip him in the bud.

If not...

Ha, it's not such a bad thing for them to use Fire Fist Ace to take down Doflamingo.

As for the impact of the Shichibukai ' defeat?

This is nothing compared to the secrets Doflamingo possesses!

"You're right, this is indeed an opportunity." Saint Saturn nodded and said, "It would be even better if we could take care of the Straw Hat Pirates as well."

Saint Saturn and Saint Nusjuro had different ideas.

He cared more about the Straw Hat Pirates than about Doflamingo.

After all... the Straw Hat Pirates might have left behind something by the Blood-Eyed Ninja!

In order to obtain these, he felt it necessary to launch a raid on the Straw Hat Pirates.

And this time, it's an opportunity!

"The Straw Hat Pirates...?"

Whenever the Straw Hat Pirates are mentioned, the other four old guys can't help but think of what happened two years ago.

That man named Ōtsutsuki Xi Yan single-handedly stormed into their Mary Geoise...

Although they killed their opponent, they ultimately gained nothing from the situation.

So if there's a chance to capture the Straw Hat Pirates, it's better to do so, as that way, you might get something they want.

Even if we didn't get the Blood-Eyed Ninja's legacy, capturing Nico Robin would still be a good thing, wouldn't it?

"Then let's send Admiral," Saint Nusjuro said. "That way, we can resolve the trouble in Dressrosa in a timely manner."

This trouble isn't just about the Straw Hat Pirates and Fire Fist D. Ace, but also about Doflamingo!

If Doflamingo were to encounter any mishap or act desperately... they would have to capture Doflamingo immediately.

"Who should go?"

"It's Fujitora, of course." Saint Mars squinted and said, "It's a good opportunity to see how this guy handles this matter."

They could also use this opportunity to observe Fujitora's loyalty to the World Government.

This matter is equally important to them.

I second that!

The others nodded in agreement, clearly agreeing with Saint Mars's choice.

"Then let him go," Saint Saturn said. "With his strength, dealing with Fire Fist Ace shouldn't be a problem."

"However... sending only him is ultimately a bit too risky," said Saint Vowchuri. "Don't forget that the other Four Emperors might also be interested in that Devil Fruit."

While the Diamond Fruit isn't a top-tier Devil Fruit, its defensive capabilities are quite impressive.

Creating a powerful figure shouldn't be a problem; the other Four Emperors have no reason not to be tempted.

Therefore... it would be best to send some more Lihai figures.

"We can't send two Marine Admiral together because of this," Saint Saturn said, frowning.

What kind of person is Marine Admiral?

That was a monster with overwhelming power!

A person of this caliber cannot be defeated by anyone other than the Four Emperors themselves!

"While the Four Emperors themselves may not necessarily come, the arrival of the second-in-command would still be troublesome," Saint Mars said. "Besides, Fire Fist Ace himself is no weakling."

"So, to be on the safe side, it would be better to send another capable person."

Although those guys might all be after that Devil Fruit, if they discover it's a trap, they might team up against the Navy!

Therefore, we must send a sufficient number of highly capable people there.

"Then let Smoker go," Saint Saturn said. "He's quite strong."

Although he was very annoyed by Garp, the bastard who had beaten him up back then, he had to admit that the other party was very strong.

And the students trained by such a guy are also extremely powerful!

Therefore, it's definitely fine to leave it to Smoker to handle.

"Smoker...?"

Recalling the resume of this potential new Admiral Candidate, Saint Mars frowned and said, "This man is someone who hates evil as if it were his enemy. If he discovers some of the things Doflamingo has done, wouldn't he turn around and turn against Doflamingo?"

That could easily lead to trouble.

"Then let's see if Doflamingo can hide himself well," Saint Saturn said expressionlessly. "At the same time... we can also issue an order not to easily attack Doflamingo, to see how loyal this guy is."

If this bastard does things like Garp, then this kid can forget about ever becoming Marine Admiral.

If the other person is intelligent, they should know what to do.

The others thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Smoker is indeed a very good candidate; at least his abilities meet the requirements.

"Heh, if Smoker can capture Ace himself, we can also elevate him," Saint Peter said with a slight upturn of his lips. "That way, we can gradually reduce the influence of that bastard Garp."

If a new generation of Navy Hero can be created, Garp's influence will gradually diminish.

In this way... some minor flaws in the navy will be completely eliminated!

"That's a good idea!"

Saint Nusjuro's eyes lit up immediately.

While Garp became Navy Hero because of Rocks, who says capturing Fire Fist D. Ace, the Son of the Pirate King, disqualifies someone from becoming Navy Hero?

Ultimately, whether or not the other party can become Navy Hero is up to them!

As for whether Smoker is willing to make the arrest...

If Smoker is unwilling to capture Fire Fist Ace, it means there's a problem with Ace's loyalty, so there's no need for them to continue the trouble.

After this matter is resolved, we'll marginalize Smoker.

"This will not only gradually weaken Garp's influence, but also test Smoker's loyalty," Saint Saturn said. "I think it's a good idea."

He thought the plan was perfect and wholeheartedly supported it.

"Then it's settled!" Saint Nusjuro said, "We'll capture Fire Fist Ace and the Straw Hat Pirates as well."

"This time, we cannot allow any more accidents!"

I second that!

"Should we send Fujitora and White Snake to Dressrosa together?"

Akainu, upon receiving the orders from the Five Elders, was immediately filled with question marks.

Does a mere Straw Hat Pirates and Law deserve to mobilize so many high-ranking Marines?

Even if you add Doflamingo, they wouldn't be worthy.

"There's a high chance Fire Fist Ace will also appear in Dressrosa," the Den Den Mushi said expressionlessly. "Not only that, but members of the other Four Emperors might also be there."

"So one Fujitora isn't enough."

This decision was made to ensure that the plan would not go wrong.

Akainu fell silent upon hearing this. So many people had appeared in a small place like Dressrosa?

What exactly happened there?

Having received no relevant information, Akainu was completely baffled.

'Could there be a problem with the report Smoker just submitted?' Akainu wondered to himself.

Thinking of this, Akainu glanced at the report on the table again, but didn't see anything wrong with it.

"Doflamingo plans to do something..."

Saint Saturn briefly explained to Akainu what was going to happen next, including the fact that Doflamingo might resign from his position Shichibukai.

But whether it was true or not, Saint Saturn didn't tell Akainu.

He then said, "Therefore, we need to send Fujitora and White Snake together."

Upon hearing the explanation, Akainu's brows furrowed even more deeply.

He had originally planned that once Smoker had gathered enough intelligence, he would report to the World Government to have him dealt with.

But now it seems... the other side doesn't really want to get rid of Doflamingo, otherwise, given the personalities of these Five Elders, they wouldn't have used the word "suspected"!

Thinking of this, Akainu said, "I can send both of them to Dressrosa, but... you should also know what Doflamingo did, right?"

"Are you referring to what happened at Punk Hazard?" Saint Saturn said expressionlessly, "This has nothing to do with Doflamingo; it was all Caesar's personal doing."

Upon hearing this, Akainu was so enraged that the veins on his face bulged.

"Personal behavior... Does this old guy think he's an idiot?"

The report clearly states that the Joker is the man behind Caesar!

Thinking of this, Akainu said, "But that guy is, after all, standing on Caesar's back..."

"Sakazuki, watch your attitude!"

Saint Vowchuri interrupted Akainu without any politeness, saying, "That's an order!"

"That's right, you just need to follow the orders!" Saint Mars also said.

Akainu was so angry he was practically fuming. Did these old guys really think he was a dog?

However, in order to maintain some stability, Akainu forcibly suppressed his anger.

"So, this operation doesn't include dealing with Doflamingo?"

"Yes," Saint Saturn nodded. "If he doesn't really want to resign from the Shichibukai, then there's no need to take action against him."

After saying that, Saint Saturn paused for a moment, then continued, "However, if Doflamingo is defeated, have Fujitora capture him."

At that time, Doflamingo, Fire Fist Ace, and the others will all be their prisoners!

Akainu's eyes flickered. Regardless of who was defeated, the World Government would ultimately benefit... These old guys really know how to keep up with the Joneses.

They're all old foxes, each one sharp-witted!

After a cold laugh to himself, Akainu said, "I understand."

"I'll have them both go to Dressrosa."

Despite his deep displeasure, an order is an order, so he had to make those two people go.

"Very good." Saint Saturn nodded in satisfaction, then added, "By the way, don't let Smoker do anything unnecessary, keep a close eye on him."

"Kaga ~"

After saying that, Saint Saturn ended the call without hesitation, leaving only Den Den Mushi with a Akainu expression.

"Bump!"

After slamming his fist on the table, Akainu's anger flared up instantly.

"Those old fogies..."

Now he understands just how unhappy Mr. Sengoku was back then.

Faced with these five arrogant old men, it's a miracle he didn't have a stroke from anger.

But anger aside, there are still some things that need to be done.

With that in mind, Akainu picked up the Den Den Mushi and dialed Smoker's number.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Kaga ~"

"Hello?" Smoker looked at the Den Den Mushi expressionlessly and said, "This is Smoker."

"I am Sakazuki."

"I wonder what business the Marshal has with me?" Smoker inquired.

"About Doflamingo."

"Doflamingo?" Smoker frowned. "Didn't I already submit the report?"

He has already clearly explained what happened in his report.

Could it be that the other party can't understand it?

"I know, so what I'm going to talk about now is your next plan," Akainu said.

He didn't care about Smoker's attitude; after all, the kid had always been like this, and he was used to it.

We should naturally be more tolerant of promising young naval personnel.

"You're not trying to tell me not to go to Dressrosa, are you?" Smoker said, his face darkening.

If Akainu were to actually issue this order, even if the recipient were the Marshal, he would still have to hurl some insults at him.

After all... that would be tantamount to betraying justice!

"Am I really that worthless in your eyes?" Akainu asked, dissatisfied.

I've always been a tough soldier, so how did I become a coward in their eyes?

"No," Smoker said, "But you are, after all, Marshal now, aren't you?"

After becoming Marshal, one needs to consider the impact of certain actions on the entire navy, which naturally makes one more constrained.

Therefore... it's possible that an order was issued to prevent him from going to Dressrosa.

This time, Akainu didn't refute it, since Smoker said was true.

Then he said, "Alright, I won't waste any more words."

"This time, you'll go to Dressrosa with Fujitora."

"Fujitora?"

Smoker was taken aback. Did they really need to work together to deal with Doflamingo?

Perhaps sensing Smoker's confusion, Akainu said, "This matter is more complicated than you think."

After finishing speaking, Akainu paused for a moment, then continued, "This time you will go with Fujitora; this is an order from the World Government."

"In short... everything is subject to Fujitora's orders, understand?"

An order from the World Government...?

Smoker frowned. Had he been overthinking things?

"What if Doflamingo is confirmed to be the culprit?"

"Then look back at the two words on your backs," Akainu said expressionlessly. "You should know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Smoker's lips immediately curled into a smile.

"That's really sensible..."
