After Saint Garling was promoted to Five Elders, he and Shamrock, who was promoted to captain of the Holy Knights, were determined to make the task of summoning the Wang Shi a success and gain Lord Imu's approval.
Wang Shi's refusal to answer the phone for three days infuriated Shamrock.
Even Saint Garling couldn't resist taking action himself.
However, the emergence of a news article completely panicked the Five Elders and the Holy Knights.
Blackbeard Teach, Four Emperors, appeared in Morgans' Economic News Newspaper, Big News.
The secrets and intelligence of Imu, the King of the World, are revealed.
[The King of the World Nerona Imu, hidden behind the Five Elders, is one of the original Twenty Kings and has lived for over eight hundred years.]
[Imu possesses the secret to immortality!]
[The Five Elders and the Holy Knights all received the power of immortality bestowed by Imu, but this immortality also means that Imu can execute the Five Elders and the Holy Knight at any time.]
Even the high and mighty Five Elders have to kneel before Imu!
[The Five Elders Saint Saturn, has been executed by Imu!]
[Imu disregards the covenant of the Twenty Kings and sits on the Empty Throne, which is forbidden to him!]
···
The news reports sent chills down the spines of the Five Elders and the Holy Knights, filling them with dread.
Blackbeard Teach also warned Akainu Fleet Admiral, the Three Admirals, and even Wang Shi Goa Emperor in the newspaper...
Never go to Holy Land Mary Geoise!
Otherwise, you'll end up like Red-Haired Shanks, completely controlled by Imu!
Queen the Plague is another example from the Wano Country battlefield!
Even the cursed prince Loki revealed that it was Imu who killed King Harald of Elbaf!
···
These news reports made the Five Elders and the Holy Knight wish they could kill Blackbeard Teach, who broke the news, and Morgans, who reported the Big News.
Moreover, this news report came out shortly afterward.
The World Government then received a formal application from the Goa Empire to become the ruler of the East Blue.
The Goa Empire, citing global security concerns and distrust of the Celestial Dragons, also collected the Heavenly Tribute from the East Blue Affiliated Nation and directly handed the money over to the Marine Headquarters.
The Goa Empire's application further enraged the Celestial Dragons.
Following Blackbeard Teach and Big News Morgans, Wang Shi has also been added to the Five Elders and the Holy Knight's kill list.
"How dare Wang Shi?!"
The Five Elders were furious; Wang Shi was trying to carve out his own territory in the East Blue.
They even reached a military spending agreement with the Marine Headquarters.
Wang Shi wanted to hand over the Heavenly Tribute from the East Blue directly to Akainu Sakazuki, without the World Government acting as an intermediary to profit from the difference.
"Traitor!"
"Traitor!"
"Damn it, Wang Shi!"
The entire World Government was in an uproar; the Goa Empire and its navy actually harbored ambitions of independence.
This is already shaking the foundations of World Government!
Meanwhile, CP0 agent Stussy sent another top-secret message.
According to a member of Roger Pirates who was drunk.
Marine heroes Fist Garp and Dark King Rayleigh are giving Straw Hat Luffy a thorough lesson.
Sun God Nika, will appear within the next year or two, leading the D Clan and other like-minded individuals worldwide to defeat Imu and overthrow the Celestial Dragons' rule.
···
A string of bad news.
This sent a chill down the spine of Saint Garling, one of the new Five Elders.
He seemed to be experiencing the suffocating feeling that Akainu Fleet Admiral and was overwhelmed by a series of bad news.
Even Shamrock felt his mind go blank, unsure how to handle this mess!
"What should we do?!"
The Five Elders felt a chill run down their spines; now they and Lord Imu were completely exposed to the sunlight.
Most importantly, the navy they built was showing signs of slipping out of their control.
The Marine Headquarters has actually colluded with the Goa Empire, which possesses formidable military power and financial resources, in an attempt to break free from the World Government's control.
"We must keep Wang Shi and Akainu calm!!"
"Quickly report this to Imu!"
The Five Elders and the Holy Knight were already in a state of panic; the situation had suddenly escalated into complete chaos.
···
Marine Headquarters in the New World.
Even Akainu Sakazuki, felt a chill run down his spine after reading the newspaper.
The first generation of Twenty Kings, who have lived for eight hundred years, control the Five Elders and the Holy Knights...
"No wonder Red-Haired Shanks stayed obediently with the Holy Knights; he was being controlled!"
Sakazuki breathed a sigh of relief; he had visited the Holy Land Mary Geoise many times.
Fortunately, he was not controlled by the King of the World.
After seeing the newspaper, Kizaru broke out in a cold sweat.
So Holy Land Mary Geoise was actually quite dangerous.
Even the Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks, is under his control. The lives of the Five Elders and Holy Knights are in Imu's hands.
Saint Saturn was not killed by pirates from the Cross Guild, but was executed remotely by Imu.
He would never dare to go to that dangerous den of Holy Land, again.
"The World Government actually holds such a secret!"
Momousagi Gion was utterly astonished that someone had actually lived for eight hundred years.
Meanwhile, in his own room, Chaton Tokikake and a hint of longing appeared in his eyes.
Red-Haired Shanks can even regenerate a severed hand, then if I were to receive the blessing of the King of the World, would I be able to immediately recover my body and even gain immortality?
But is such a reward, which would mean having Imu completely control over one's life, worth it?
···
Sengoku the Buddha, and Vice Admiral Tsuru, both from the former Marine Headquarters at Marineford, looked warily toward the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
These are secrets that even they didn't know.
"Back then, Rocks ventured deep into the Holy Land, and perhaps it was then that Rocks learned some secrets, which he then passed on to his son, Blackbeard Teach."
Vice Admiral Tsuru's expression was solemn as he pondered the conditions and costs of Imu's granting him immortality.
"The Celestial Dragons' top leadership is all in the hands of one person..."
Sengoku the Buddha broke out in a cold sweat, wondering if his old superior, Kong, who was a permanent resident of the Holy Land, had been granted immortality by the King of the World, or if his life had been controlled by him.
"Sengoku, I'm retiring. Perhaps the Goa Empire would be a good place to retire."
Vice Admiral Tsuru never dared to set foot on the Holy Land Mary Geoise again.
Even Queen the Plague, a powerful of the Three Disasters, could be transformed into a puppet demon by Imu, who descended upon Gunko from afar.
Then even this old woman wouldn't be able to withstand Imu's transformative power.
Perhaps the King of the World Imu, wouldn't even look at this old woman, but Crane didn't want to take the risk, didn't want to go to that disgusting Mary Geoise.
"Sigh, I'll just make a phone call to Kong and then leave."
Sengoku the Buddha felt that he, as Mythical Zoan Buddha Form Devil Fruit User, might still have some value in Imu's eyes.
After the newspaper article was published, he dared not go to the Holy Land Mary Geoise anymore.
He was genuinely afraid that Imu would "take a liking" to him and turn him into a puppet, his life controlled by Imu.
And so, through a major revelation by Blackbeard Teach, Wang Shi once again stirred up the entire world order.
Wang Shi had Kuma give the black charcoal Kurozumi Orochi to Blackbeard Teach.
If we don't have Saint Saturn's Ushi-oni power, or Shamrock's Cerberus, then we'll have to make do with Yamata no Orochi.
