Wang Shi can continue being his hero emperor while still having time to deal with Big Mom and the Beast Pirates, two of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, turning them into his 'allies'.
These two unpredictable Four Emperors might suddenly turn against Wang Shi if we don't deal with them.
If Wang Shi were to assassinate the Five Elders, they would definitely watch the show, witnessing the great battle between the Goa Empire, the Navy, and Saint Saturn, and might even seize the opportunity to intervene.
Both the Wang Shi and the Navy were their enemies.
Wang Shi had no intention of completely turning against Imu, this ancient monster, in this war full of unknowns.
Wang Shi is not Blackbeard Teach, who has such a high gambling mentality.
As long as we proceed steadily and grow step by step, Wang Shi will always maintain a favorable position.
Eat your food one bite at a time.
Wang Shi achieved this level in just two or three years.
He has plenty of time.
He won't gamble on this.
After this war, Wang Shi to bring Kuzan to the Goa Empire, and then deal with Big Mom and the Beast Pirates, two of the Four Emperors' crews.
Wang Shi also intended to use the defeat in this war to sow discord between the Navy and the World Government.
When Akainu, the unlucky new Fleet Admiral, has a worse relationship with the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons.
This would give Wang Shi more time to persuade Akainu to join him in resisting the Celestial Dragons' oppression.
By then, with the support of the Four Emperors and the Marine Headquarters, they can have a complete showdown with the World Government and bring Imu down.
···
Knowing that the Big Mom and the Beast Alliance had suffered heavy losses and could not hold on any longer, Wang Shi was preparing to send the Four Elder Stars and the Holy Knights back to Mary Geoise.
Who knows, they might even manage to 'accidentally' steal the half-destroyed Pluton Battleship from the Cross Guild and the Blackbeard Pirates.
However, Big Mom and Beast Kaido, the Marines and Saint Saturn, and even Dragon, will not stand by and watch Blackbeard and Sand Crocodile steal the Pluton Battleship.
If either side takes the Pluton Battleship, they will face attacks from everyone.
Destroying the Pluton Battleship would be in the best interest of the majority.
And this heroic emperor will make a heroic appearance at the crucial moment, helping the navy, Saint Saturn, Gunko escape the encirclement of the Four Emperors.
"Maya, prepare to release that robot!"
Wang Shi gave Maya some instructions, then flew down himself and captured Tenguyama Hitetsu and Otama.
Amid Otama's pleas and the komainu's mournful barks, Wang Shi instructed Maya to use a bottle to catch the pet komainu as well.
Meanwhile, Ashura Doji, whom Aramaki and Enel had been vying to defeat, was forcibly taken down as well.
As for the bandits of Atamayama Bandits and the villagers of Amigasa Village under Ashura Doji's command, let them fend for themselves.
But a smile cleared a path for them, leaving them a glimmer of hope.
"Walk!"
Wang Shi gave the order to leave immediately, without even having a chance to see Tenguyama Hitetsu's Great Grade Swords.
In the prisoner cell Exile Emperor.
When Ashura Doji and Tenguyama Hitetsu, who was hiding his identity, saw the Kurozumi Orochi in the cell, their eyes widened in surprise.
What a twist of fate! They met again in someone else's prison cell. It's truly ironic.
Neither Shinobu nor Otama were imprisoned.
Wang Shi studying Shinobu's Ripe-Ripe Fruit ability, Otama was left in the care of Nami and Kaya.
···
On the battlefield of the Pluton Battleship.
One by one, the Holy Knight were desperately trying to stabilize the plummeting Pluton Battleship.
Red-Haired Shanks was in charge of the lava meteor shower, Saint Garling and Shamrock were responsible for dealing with the berserk Big Mom.
Gunko led the other Holy Knight in a difficult struggle to stabilize the massive Pluton Battleship, each of them giving it their all.
Pluton Homie is powerless to carry out Big Mom's self-destruct order and is continuously offline.
Just when Gunko thought he could slowly bring the Pluton Battleship down to the ancient Wano Country and complete the mission of seizing the Pluton Battleship...
As a result, Kizaru was 'defeated', Dragon attacked again. The terrifying sword storm caused the Pluton Battleship to lose its balance again and crash into the ground at high speed once more.
Even Karasu's flock of soot Karasu is frantically attacking the Holy Knight who are using Devil Fruit abilities.
Whoever obtains the Pluton Battleship must take on the responsibility of protecting it.
Other forces, adhering to the principle of 'nobody can have it,' focused solely on destruction.
"Monkey D. Dragon!!!"
Just as the Pluton Battleship was about to fall into their hands, Dragon jumped out again, infuriating Gunko so much that they wanted to kill all these disgusting Mouse.
Seeing the enraged Gunko, Dragon was indeed wary, fearing that Imu would come online to boost his account again at any moment.
He and the Karasu were merely manipulating the storm and the flock of crows from afar, while the Holy Knight Destruction pulled the falling Pluton Battleship.
Red-Haired Shanks, a former Four Emperors without Devil Fruit powers, didn't have the strength to stop the Pluton Battleship from falling.
However, he had always wanted to see the Pluton Battleship destroyed.
Saint Garling and Shamrock watched the Pluton Battleship plummet, feeling only a pang of regret. After all, they had done their best, and it would be acceptable to Lord Imu.
With the Pluton Battleship destroyed, perhaps even Saint Saturn Ra can be brought down.
"Mommy, Mommy! Nobody can get it!"
The Big Mom laughed maniacally, as if she had given up all hope. The Pluton Battleship, which she had almost obtained, was about to be destroyed. She felt both heartbroken and somewhat relieved.
Just as the Pluton Battleship, carrying immense gravitational potential energy, was about to crash into the earth.
A voice resounded in the minds of the Five Elders and the Holy Knight.
"A bunch of useless trash!"
With Imu's icy voice, Gunko unleashed a terrifying aura.
Her short hair was growing wildly, and a pair of enormous black wings sprouted out with a 'whoosh,' with a black arrow-shaped tail swirling around them.
A surge of black energy condensed into a Devil Trident.
"Not again?!"
"Karasu! Run!"
Having anticipated this, Dragon immediately ordered Karasu to make a strategic retreat.
Imu appeared, he stopped trying to be brave.
The rest is up to Wang Shi.
After all, Wang Shi had made a promise to him that he would take responsibility for dealing with Imu and the Five Elders, those old monsters.
Imu, who had just logged in with a substitute account, didn't chase after the Mouse Dragon. Instead, she instantly unleashed a powerful burst of shadow abilities.
Countless dark, shadowy arrows rose from the ground, like the tails of a thousand demons, forcefully catching the rapidly falling Pluton Battleship.
The powerful impact of the fall caused Imu's version of Gunko to let out a muffled groan, his breathing became heavy, and his heterochromatic eyes trembled.
"Even a divine servant trained for many years cannot withstand Mu's divine power!"
Imu muttered to himself softly, his hand holding the Devil Trident trembling slightly, as if his entire body had reached its limit.
But in the end, they managed to save Pluton, one of the Three Ancient Weapons.
"Joy Boy, your schemes and backup plans are about to become M's."
"This time, M is still the victor!"
There seemed to be a hint of smugness in Imu's version of Gunko's tone.
"Greetings, Lord Imu!"
One by one, the Holy Knight appeared before Imu, each with a tense expression and cold sweat beading on their foreheads.
This time, the Five Elders and the entire Holy Knights went into battle, but one Holy Knight died, and they almost lost the Pluton Battleship.
In the end, they still had to have their god, Imu, personally intervene.
They really did let Imu down!
