After the Sengoku ended, only the five Saint Saturn remained in the palace.
"Saint Saturn, why did you make Sengoku stay an extra month?"
Saint Nusjuro asked in confusion.
Given their temperament, he's just a disobedient dog; there's no need to keep him around any longer.
That's right, in their eyes, even a dignified Fleet Admiral is nothing more than their dog.
Even the entire navy is just their dog.
This dog should have been obedient and followed its master's every command. But now that it has developed disloyalty, replacing its head with a new one would be a simple matter.
"I made him stay an extra month, naturally for the sake of Portgas D. Ace."
Saint Saturn said with a smile.
"I understand. Brother Saturn wants Sengoku to make the most of his remaining strength by executing this son of the King of the Pirates!"
Saint Mars Satori and looked at Saint Saturn with admiration.
The others also realized what was happening.
They're as stupid as pigs in every other respect, but when it comes to exploitation, they're all incredibly clever.
"In the past two months, the World Government's prestige has suffered an unprecedented blow. The Celestial Dragons were killed by Luo Wen, the Marine Admiral suffered successive defeats, the Shichibukai were routed, and so many Marines defected!"
"The pirates are getting restless, and some forces are also having other ideas, especially that Luo Wen, who is extremely arrogant."
"At a time like this, executing the King of the Pirates's son could greatly restore the world's prestige and dampen the pirates' morale!"
Saint Saturn said in a deep voice.
The large-scale defection of senior naval officers has dealt a heavy blow to the navy's strength.
At times like these, it is even more necessary to establish authority.
"Wonderful, Brother Saturn!"
The group applauded and praised Saint Saturn's words.
"But Portgas D. Ace is not only the son of the King of the Pirates, but also the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Whitebeard's most valued adopted son."
"If Ace is executed, that old man will definitely get restless, and I'm afraid there will be unexpected complications."
Saint Nusjuro said with some apprehension.
Even he had to admit Whitebeard's strength as the World's Strongest Man.
The Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which shatters space, is not only terrifyingly powerful in single-target destruction, but also exceptionally strong in group attacks.
Even though Luo Wen is gradually overshadowing Whitebeard, Whitebeard is still a major threat to the World Government.
"What's there to be afraid of? If he comes, we can take him down together."
"According to our intelligence, Whitebeard is extremely old and needs medication every day to stay alive."
Saint Saturn said nonchalantly.
"Exactly, how much fighting power can someone with such a Whitebeard possess? If an Admiral were to wear him down for a while, he'd probably be dead."
Saint Mars echoed.
"That's true. If we could kill Whitebeard at the same time as the King of the Pirates's son, that would be perfect."
Saint Nusjuro narrowed his eyes and said.
Roger ushered in the Great Pirate Era; killing his son would be tantamount to killing the rightful heir to that Great Pirate Era.
This is definitely a major blow to the pirates nowadays.
Furthermore, eliminating Whitebeard, the current Four Emperors with the highest bounty, would allow them to declare to the world that they are still the same authoritative and domineering World Government they once were.
"The Whitebeard Pirates are no longer a concern; what we need to worry about are other things."
Saint Saturn said with a solemn expression.
"You mean the remnants of Roger Pirates, and that brat Shanks?"
Saint Mars asked.
"That's right, the remnants of the Roger Pirates are not to be underestimated, and Shanks, as a young and strong Four Emperors, poses a much greater threat than Whitebeard."
"But the most crucial one is that Godslayer, Luo Wen! He's incredibly powerful and doesn't follow the rules; he's very likely to interfere."
When it comes to Luo Wen, Saint Saturn is even more wary, as are the other Five Elders.
They moved here from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise because of the God-Slaying Spear that Luo Wen fired in the East Blue.
Besides this, Luo Wen's individual strength was so formidable that it instilled fear in them.
Back in the Sabaody Archipelago, they were able to overwhelm the combined forces of the two Admiral and Garp.
I later heard that they had made further progress, and their strength was now immeasurable.
If Luo Wen really does join in the fun, the execution of the King of the Pirates's son will likely become a laughing stock.
"To ensure everything goes perfectly, this time, the five of us will work together!"
Saint Saturn looked around and said in a deep voice.
He believed that if the five of them joined forces, they could suppress anyone who came.
"The five of us, along with the Three Admirals and Sengoku, will definitely be able to ensure the execution proceeds smoothly."
"Whether it's Whitebeard or Luo Wen, if they dare to come, they'll all be killed!"
Saint Nusjuro gripped the First Generation Kitetsu and spoke with murderous intent.
"That's right, we'll make sure they never leave alive!"
The Five Elders spoke with great confidence.
Each of them is roughly as strong as the current Three Admirals.
With five of them together, no one can stop them.
With the addition of the Three Admirals and Sengoku, they were practically invincible.
They believed that no matter how strong Luo Wen, he was absolutely no match for this lineup.
After finalizing the general plan, the Five Elders immediately consulted Imu.
Imu reviewed the plan and uttered a single word. "Alright."
The Five Elders respectfully withdrew and immediately began detailed planning.
On the high seas, an unprecedented and enormous storm was brewing.
