Bang!
The small silver round table rattled from the blow, several newspapers spread across its surface.
A closer look revealed that while the bold front-page headlines differed, their content was astonishingly consistent.
[Shocking!! Vice Admiral Ink Snake of the Navy avenges Zephyr, brazenly killing Shichibukai Edward Weevil!]
[Are the Shichibukai no longer safe? Can the Navy kill them at will?]
[The collapse of the three-way balance? The Shichibukai]
Yes, these were all Morgans' handiwork, pushed from behind by Dawn. Just as expected, the news had spread across the world in a mere three days.
There were even rumors that the Navy was dissatisfied with its Shichibukai policy and intended to hunt down those Shichibukai again. For a time, undercurrents surged throughout the seas.
"Look at these newspapers! This is your doing!"
"How could you act so rashly?!"
"Do you know what kind of turmoil the Navy killing a Shichibukai will bring to the seas!?"
"If this goes badly, the Shichibukai may rebel at once!"
At the World Government's offices, where the Five Elders resided, the five men sat upon luxurious green sofas, furiously berating the young man standing before them.
It was none other than Dawn. Yet these men, who appeared to others to hold supreme authority, were not even as interesting to him as examining the office around him.
Though it was called an office, it seemed more like a place where the Five Elders held tea parties. The room was simple yet lavishly decorated, and extraordinarily spacious.
After seeing that the Five Elders were only scolding him verbally without taking further action, Dawn simply began ignoring them. He studied the surrounding decor intently, looking entirely lost in thought.
That attitude naturally enraged the Five Elders. These old men held immense power and status; they had never been ignored
