That's human nature; when the main party in a conflict cannot resolve it, they subconsciously attribute the cause to other things.

Even those in charge of the World Government are still like this.

Everyone here understands that as long as Dunn is dealt with, all the lost deterrence and other things will return, and perhaps even more so.

However, the Five Elders subconsciously blamed the Navy for not eliminating Dunn earlier.

Steelbone Sky, a former Fleet Admiral, looked displeased at this.

"Go and prepare the necessary documents as soon as possible. Also, continue to publicize the news about Dunn's trip to Dressrosa. And send CP to find Morgans; that bastard seems to be a bit out of touch with reality."

Nasshoulang Sheng looked at Steelbone Kong and said.

"I understand."

Steel Bone Kong nodded upon hearing this, then turned and left.

After he left, the Five Elders and the commander of the God's Knights Saint Figarland Garling, remained silent for a while before someone finally spoke.

"The previous plan to control the New World caused the Navy's expenses to increase."

You mean?

When Nusjuro mentioned this, the other five were all taken aback and quite surprised.

"Yes, abandon the plan for the New World and consolidate New World forces there. Besides, now that the Flame Demon has entered the New World, no one knows what trouble he might cause."

Nusjuro placed the Shodai Kitetsu was holding beside him and stood up.

"Moreover, given the personalities of those three guys from the New World, they might not necessarily get along peacefully with the Flame Demon; a major conflict could erupt."

"Whichever failure we face, it will be a good thing for us!"

The people in Room of Authority all understood what Nusjuro meant.

"That's right. Besides, most of the powerful pirates on the high seas end up in the New World, so maybe we can push them there."

Nusjuro spoke again.

"You mean, relax the pursuit of the pirates from the Four Blues and Paradise, and drive them into the New World?"

Saint Figarland Garling against the hilt of his sword at his waist and said in a deep voice.

"That's right. Since it's out of control, the more chaotic the New World, the better. As long as there are enough pirates, it's impossible for it to be peaceful."

The New World is now actually separated from Paradise and the Four Blues.

However, if this plan is followed, the New World will become even more chaotic.

But what does this have to do with them?

"Even if the Flame Demon's abilities are enough to deal with these guys, it will definitely slow down what he does in the New World. Whatever he wants to do won't go so smoothly."

"Agree."

This does them no harm.

"Don't forget the Hunter Guild."

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn reminded the group.

"It certainly needs our attention, but now is not the right time to take action against it. At the very least, something needs to be done to keep the Flame Demon occupied. That would be the best opportunity. Besides, the Hunter Guild has only been established for a short time, and even if it wants to develop, it will take a lot of time."

However, it is possible to have someone infiltrate the area and wait for an opportunity to strike.

"As for the Flame Demon itself..."

Saint Shepherd Ju Peter spoke, he looked at Saint Figarland Garling.

After all, Saint Figarland Garling himself had taken on the task of dealing with the Flame Demon Dunn.

But Dressrosa's plan did not succeed.

Of course, these people subconsciously overlooked the fact that Im had also intervened.

"That lord ordered us to halt our operation; perhaps that lord has some plan in mind."

In response, Saint Figarland Garling immediately used Im as a shield.

The Five Elders all fell silent, not dwelling on the matter any further.

Afterwards, the group went their separate ways to deal with the matters they had just discussed.

And the Marine Headquarters.

Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru were waiting for the World Government's decision.

Then I received a contact from Steelbone Sky.

Kong told Sengoku about the Navy's large-scale recruitment and asked him to take immediate action, specifically mentioning those lesser-known but powerful individuals.

"Someone like Yixiao."

Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke softly to Sengoku.

Sengoku looked at the Den Den Mushi in front of him. After Kong finished communicating with him, the Den Den Mushi hung up.

"This is not an easy task."

The Sengoku certainly understood that if large-scale conscription was effective, it would be more advantageous for controlling the seas.

But those powerful individuals hidden on the high seas would have already taken action if they wanted to join the navy.

The fact that nothing has happened yet suggests that these people aren't entirely willing.

But since he's not famous, it means he's at least not a pirate.

"Moreover, such individuals need to be offered corresponding positions and benefits to join the navy."

Vice Admiral Tsuru reminded him.

We can't exactly let these strong individuals join the navy as naval soldiers.

"I will apply to Fleet Admiral Kong for this."

Sengoku understood what Vice Admiral Tsuru meant and nodded in agreement.

The navy's top ranks are now basically full, with one person per position.

If others want to be promoted, someone needs to step down or be transferred to another position.

However, if it's a large-scale conscription, then the navy would need to create a large number of new positions, and even establish additional troops.

These require substantial financial support.

The navy's military spending is completely controlled by the World Government.

It is also a means for World Government to control their navies.

"It seems there's no way to deal with Dunn over there for the time being."

Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke softly, his expression calm.

"That should be it!"

The Sengoku period nodded.

The current situation indicates that the World Government has temporarily abandoned its direct confrontation with Dunn.

Moreover, the fact that they are still smearing Dunn all over the world is good proof of this.

Although the World Economic Journal has been clarifying the situation and reporting the specific events that occurred in Dressrosa, as well as the current state of affairs, through its newspaper.

But the World Government doesn't care about any of that now, and is using its own channels to continue smearing Dunn all over the world.

Even when photos of the current situation in Dressrosa are released, they turn a blind eye.

They just threw mud at us.

As for their purpose, both Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru could see it.

In any case, there are all sorts of true and false information circulating at sea right now, and the truth has been muddied out.

It can only be said that although the methods were not very effective, they did achieve some results.

But this tactic had little impact on Dunn himself.

This will have a significant impact on the Hunter Guild, where Dunn is the guild leader.

"Go ahead and make a plan. This large-scale conscription is very urgent."

Sengoku waved to Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded and got up to leave.

He reached out and handed a document from the table to the little lamb beside the table.

The lamb, who had inherited its father's function as a paper shredder, opened its mouth, bit the handed document, and slowly chewed it.

What will the future hold?

Sengoku's deep voice echoed in the office, a rare hint of confusion in it.

East Blue, Shimotsuki Village.

Kuina looked at the free newspaper in her hand, her little face quite serious.

"Impossible, Dunn would never do such a thing."

Her voice was very firm, clearly showing her confidence in Dunn.
