The Five Elders Had a Massive Headache

Sora and Sengoku stood before the Holy Land, their hearts pounding in their throats.

But they had no choice but to go in.

"Well..."

The two sighed in unison, then steeled themselves and entered the Holy Land.

Who are Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn?

The supreme ruler of the World Government.

How well-informed are they?

They received the news as soon as the battle ended. So, when Sora and Sengoku walked in, the four of them knew why they had come.

"Brush..."

The four of them looked over at the same time, their expressions quite complicated.

Especially Saint Nusjuro and Saint Warcury, you know, they went to the Sabaody Archipelago with Saint Peter back then. They never expected this...

Moke really did set up an ambush in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Having Kizaru inform them about the planned attack on the Holy Land was merely a calculated move to force them to return.

So, if we're talking about responsibility this time...

Their responsibilities are also significant.

But who are they?

One of the Five Elders, the highest authority in the World Government. Why should they personally shoulder such a responsibility?

As a result, their gazes towards Sora and Sengoku became less friendly. They even questioned, "Where Garp, Kizaru, Gion, Tokikake? Such a big thing has happened, why aren't they here?"

At this moment, they were already considering who should take the blame.

Sora and Sengoku exchanged a glance, both thinking to themselves, "Just as I expected!"

They were both Fleet Admiral; those who reach that position are not only exceptionally capable, but also quite intelligent.

Therefore, they could tell from the expressions, eyes, and tone of voice of Saint Nusjuro and Saint Warcury.

The result was as they expected.

This is an attempt to use someone as a scapegoat.

However, the two of them were prepared. So they didn't give Saint Nusjuro and Saint Warcury any chance and went straight to the key issue.

Kong: "Moke already knows about Vergo, Aramaki, Doberman, and Onigumo's raid on Amazon Lily and capture of Boa Hancock. This time, Moke is targeting us because of this."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn changed drastically. This was because it was the four of them, along with the deceased Saint Peter, who had given the order.

Therefore, not only Saint Nusjuro and Saint Warcury, but also Saint Mars and Saint Saturn Sengoku at Sengoku with extremely hostile eyes.

It's as if it's saying, "What does this mean?"

Are you two here to accept punishment, or to question me?

Upon hearing Sengoku, Sengoku immediately added, "We just received news that Moke seems to have learned of this earlier. Therefore, he led his men to ambush Vergo, Aramaki, Doberman, and Onigumo in the Amazon Lily. Vergo was severely injured and is currently hiding in the Amazon Lily rainforest; he probably won't be back for a while."

"Aramaki was also severely injured, and his whereabouts are unknown; his fate is a mystery. Doberman, Onigumo, and three thousand marines perished in battle..."

"What?"

Even the four supreme rulers of the World Government — Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn —couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Because what was said Sengoku represents...

Their two newly selected Admiral- level combatants are gone. Although Vergo didn't die, Aramaki might not necessarily be dead either.

However, in a short period of time.

They absolutely cannot make a move, and most importantly, they even face the risk of being hunted down.

I was so anxious!

Without these two people...

The navy was suddenly back to having only one Admiral. Moreover, it lost two more elite naval officers... The navy's strength plummeted to an unprecedented low.

If it weren't for the World Military Draft, which brought with it many generals, the army would be even weaker now than it was right after the Marineford War.

At the same time, the four of them realized why Garp, Kizaru, Gion, Tokikake hadn't come over.

It seems they've reached the place they should be going to right now!

Sure enough, the next second Sky Walk, "I sent Garp back to Marine Headquarters. After all, Aokiji is the only one there. It's safer to have him there with him."

"I've sent Kizaru, Gion, Tokikake to the front lines of the New World. With the three of them keeping an eye on things, as long as the Four Emperors don't make a move, the other pirates shouldn't be able to cause too much trouble."

Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn exchanged glances.

It must be said that Sora and Sengoku truly lived up to their reputation as former Fleet Admiral; this arrangement was appropriate, timely, wise, and absolutely correct.

But...

They were seething with anger, and they found something and someone to vent it on.

Most importantly, at this moment, there's no point in talking about taking the blame.

They still need to appease these people.

Because the navy really can't afford any more trouble... Most importantly, the news of Saint Peter's death must not be leaked. Otherwise, a massive storm will surely break out on the high seas.

The prestige and status of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government will also suffer a heavy blow. At that time, the Celestial Dragons will no longer be unshakeable gods.

World Government are no longer convincing.

After all, even one of their highest leaders, Saint Peter, died at the hands of Moke. Doesn't that mean the Moke Pirates are stronger?

If they could think of it, then Kong and Sengoku could naturally think of it too.

The two subtly observed the changes in the expressions on the faces of Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn.

After seeing that the desired effect had been achieved.

The two pressed their advantage.

He added, "We can guarantee that the Navy can completely suppress this matter. Not a single word about Saint Peter's death will leak out. But what about the CP..."

The faces of Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn turned completely black.

What is CP?

They were a direct subordinate unit of the Celestial Dragons, their personal guards. They were only one rank below the Knights of God... But now, these people have escaped.

Even the original CP9 members who were originally in the Holy Land successfully escaped.

Thanks to Blueno's Door-Door Fruit ability, by the time they went to capture the person, he had already vanished.

What a disappointment!

So... I'm heartbroken!

The most crucial point is that Rob Lucci, Kaku, and Jabra witnessed everything firsthand.

The original CP9 members had already learned of Saint Peter's death.

Under such circumstances, suppressing the death of Saint Peter would be extremely difficult. Even if we assume the worst, Rob Lucci, Kaku, and Jabra might be relentlessly hunted down by the World Government.

They dared not make Saint Peter's death public.

But there's still Moke, the main character!
