Holy Land Mary Geoise,
The Holy Land, which had originally been reduced to ruins, was rebuilt at an astonishing speed with the help of Devil Fruits and the slaves, who worked day and night.
The Five Elders sat in the conference room, their expressions grave.
"We've finished our investigation."
"This girl belongs to the same race as That Man."
"And they both first appeared in the North Sea."
A photograph lay before each of the Five Elders.
It showed Meru slaughtering a crowd with an innocent smile. Blood splashed across her adorable little face, making the scene seem all the more eerie.
The Five Elders' gazes fixed on the antennae on Meru's forehead and the mysterious silver markings, which were extremely similar to those of That Man.
"And Vinsmoke seems to be entangled with them as well."
"Including their recent actions."
"Vinsmoke has occupied nearly all the Non-Member States in the North Sea."
The Curly-Haired Elder proposed,

The sword-wielding Elder snorted at that.
"How can the situation now be compared to what it was twenty years ago?!"
"We have no idea whether Vinsmoke is acting on that girl's orders."
"Or whether she poses an even greater threat to the World Government's rule."
"Most importantly,"
