Did Wang Shi actually obtain accurate information about Pluton?
This requires investigation by World Government.
For the sake of world stability and balance.
Saint Saturn could only suppress his anger for the time being, and could not turn against the Wang Shi or gamble with him.
"After our discussion, we have determined that you have defeated Crocodile without authorization and violated the Seven Warlords of the Sea system. We must punish you."
We want you to become Shichibukai, what do you think?
Saint Saturn's voice slowly drifted out. "Doflamingo A person who possesses a great secret can only be controlled by the World Government, just like Wang Shi."
"I am the Emperor of the Goa Empire!"
"Your Majesty actually made me one of the Shichibukai!"
"Do you want me to become a pirate?"
Wang Shi's tone instantly turned cold. He was a legitimate emperor of Affiliated Nation, and now the Five Elders wanted him to be labeled as a pirate. Wasn't this lowering his own status?
This is belittling and humiliating him.
"Doflamingo and Boa Hancock, Shichibukai, are not both rulers of a country."
"There's no need to make a fuss about this."
The Five Elders spoke calmly, revealing that they indeed intended to turn Wang Shi into a pirate and Shichibukai.
Only then can they find a strong person to defeat this Shichibukai and replace this pirate emperor.
They wanted to control the unstable element of Wang Shi, make Wang Shi obedient, and keep the Goa Empire under the control of the World Government.
"I refuse!"
Wang Shi was extremely decisive, and his tone was unusually cold!
He really wants to shut down the Den Den Mushi right now, and just rise up in rebellion and turn against them.
Being Shichibukai is no better than becoming the Fifth Emperor!
"This is your punishment!"
Saint Nusjuro's cold voice rang out.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, my current power is enough to make me one of the Five Emperors, and you actually want me to be Shichibukai?"
"Or are you determined to punish me for Crocodile's actions?"
"I wonder if the news of the Pluton Battleship will spread across the seas tomorrow, and this ocean will descend into chaos."
Wang Shi spoke up, clearly displeased, and directly threatened back.
"You really know about Pluton?"
Believe it or not!
The Den Den Mushi snail communication device) between Wang Shi and the Five Elders is filled with various traps and threats.
After a brief silence.
The Five Elders communicated rapidly through their abilities in their consciousness.
Did the Wang Shi's power truly reach the level of the Five Emperors?
Did he really know information about Pluton?
This needs to be thoroughly investigated.
Let's not pressure Wang Shi any further for now.
···
"Since you don't want to become Shichibukai, then forget it."
However, as punishment for attacking Shichibukai, you must undergo a forced conscription.
"Of course, this punishment is only known to us and you."
Besides Saint Saturn, another of the Five Elders also spoke up.
The Five Elders analyzed that the current Goa Empire is indeed stronger than the Shichibukai.
They did not want to waste Wang Shi and the fighting force under his command.
Therefore, they wanted to take advantage of the situation to obtain an unconditional military conscription from the Wang Shi under the guise of punishment.
"Punish?"
"Do you want to receive military support from the Goa Empire for free?"
"Then I might as well become Shichibukai. That way, I wouldn't have to pay the Heavenly Tribute, and I could legally plunder."
Then I'm going to turn the world upside down in the Four Blues and the Grand Line Paradise.
"Then spread the information about Pluton and the National Treasure, making the whole world more fun!"
Wang Shi responded coldly, still refusing to agree.
Who the hell would want to be a Shichibukai who only has the obligations but no rights?!
Moreover, it seems that after these Shichibukai joined, they were forcibly conscripted only Paramount War.
"Wang Shi, this is your punishment!"
"Even if the Goa Empire becomes Shichibukai East Blue Sea, it is impossible for it to escape the Heavenly Tribute!"
Two more voices from the Five Elders rang out, which annoyed Wang Shi.
"Alright, alright, then I'll take on a few more forced conscription duties."
"We might as well take care of the other Shichibukai while we're at it."
"From now on, when I become the leader of the Shichibukai, I will recruit a few more myself, and I welcome any call-up from the World Government."
Wang Shi could no longer hold back and spoke out in a fit of anger.
A few words completely stung the Five Elders.
"You audacious Wang Shi, how dare you show such disrespect to the World Government!"
"Don't you want to be the emperor of the Goa Empire anymore?"
"You really need to think about the people of the Goa Empire."
Threats rang out one after another, reigniting his anger, his tone filled with coldness.
"I am merely a usurper emperor; I have no affection for the subjects of the Goa Empire."
Even if you slaughter the East Blue, it's none of my business.
"But are you sure you want to use a forced conscription punishment to force me to expose the National Treasure and the secrets of Pluton?"
"That Doflamingo guy wants nothing more than to overturn the world."
"You don't want the world to really descend into chaos, do you?"
"It's just a Sand Crocodile, there's no need to make such a big deal out of it."
"After I marry the Alabasta princess, will I be eligible to apply to become Celestial Dragons?"
Wang Shi initially responded angrily, but after thinking for a moment, he offered the Five Elders a way out, letting them see if they were willing to back down while they were ahead.
Otherwise, it would really force Wang Shi to go to sea and become the Five Emperors.
... Silence... a very long silence...
The Five Elders were taken aback by Wang Shi's remarks and quickly suppressed their anger.
They were exchanging intense thoughts, considering Wang Shi's words.
It's definitely not worth it to force the rebel Wang Shi to surrender just because of a Sand Crocodile.
Putting aside the information about Pluton and the National Treasure, even the powerful figures like Wang Shi are extremely troublesome.
Even without deploying two Marine Admiral, it would probably be impossible to handle.
"We'll let this punishment slide."
"The Nefertari clan has withdrawn from the Holy Land. Even if you marry the Nefertari princess, it will be difficult for you to become Celestial Dragons!"
"However, if you demonstrate sufficient strength, you might qualify to join the Holy Knights and become Celestial Dragons."
Upon hearing that Wang Shi wanted to become Celestial Dragons, the Five Elders felt that Wang Shi's threat level instantly decreased.
Even the most ambitious ant from the lower realms who aspires to become Celestial Dragons is still very easy to manipulate.
If Wang Shi can truly become Holy Knight, then Wang Shi's life will be in Imu Im's hands.
However, it won't be that simple for Wang Shi to become Holy Knight; even Imu probably wouldn't even look down on Wang Shi.
Now that they knew Wang Shi had the idea of becoming Celestial Dragons, they stopped targeting Wang Shi.
No matter how powerful Wang Shi becomes in the future, they can use their Celestial Dragons identity to recruit Wang Shi.
Wang Shi never expected that simply expressing his desire to become Celestial Dragons would completely lower the Five Elders' guard.
"The Holy Knights?"
"I see."
Wang Shi heard about the change in the Five Elders' attitude, he also calmed down his anger of "fighting them to the death".
"You focus on quelling the rebellion in Alabasta. As for Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, we'll be looking for a replacement."
The Five Elders' aggressive questioning and punishment were thus quelled by Wang Shi's threats and deception.
As the Den Den Mushi was closed, Wang Shi's face remained filled with displeasure.
Indeed, the path of usurping a country and the world is not easy!
Damn, this is so unfair.
You might as well become a pirate!
However, now that I've finally obtained the 'big prize' of a Holy Knight, I won't be questioned or targeted by the World Government and the Five Elders.
Wang Shi was well aware of the enormous pitfalls posed by the Five Elders and the Holy Knight.
A group of people who, despite their immortality, are merely tools controlled by Imu!
