Imu Was Speechless

Within the Holy Land, on the Empty Throne, a figure sat listening to the reports from the four Five Elders: Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn.

Imu asked in a very calm tone, "Saint Peter is dead? Dead at the hands of a pirate?"

Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn exchanged glances and finally nodded reluctantly.

"Hehe..."

Imu laughed; he was genuinely furious.

This is the first time I've ever experienced this in all my years.

Who is Saint Peter?

One of the five leaders of the World Government, arguably the highest-ranking and most powerful person besides him. Such a person actually died at the hands of a pirate.

Isn't that ridiculous?

"There's also a Paramecia Devil Fruit User. Anyone touched by her will turn into a doll. And the person who becomes this doll will be erased from everyone's memory?"

At this point, his tone was no longer calm; it carried a hint of anger.

"Gurgle..."

Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn all swallowed hard.

These four World Government leaders, who were in power on the surface, felt their legs go weak at this moment.

He replied tremblingly, "Yes!"

"Hahaha..."

Imu burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world. "Are you kidding me? Or have you just gotten stupid from living too long? Even if we can't control such an ability user, we can't let him fall into the hands of others!"

Shouldn't they have immediately sent CP0 to assassinate him upon learning of his disappearance?

Even if it means sacrificing the entire CP, we must eliminate them.

And what are you doing?

Now, things have gotten really bad; he's been firmly in the hands of a pirate. The pirate even used him to eliminate another Four Emperors of the Sea) and successfully recruited all of his subordinates.

A pirate emperor suddenly possessed the fighting power of two Emperor Level pirate crews.

If this continues, the entire New World will have to change its name.

Cold sweat beaded on the foreheads of Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn. Their usually proud and held-up heads were now bowed lower than the last.

He was afraid that the person on the throne would focus their attention on him.

"Call..."

Imu took a deep breath.

He calmed his anger, then regained his composure. "Tell me! What else?"

Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn exchanged glances again, and finally Saint Nusjuro reluctantly stepped forward.

"There's also a Paramecia Fruit— the Millet-Millet Fruit. According to information, as long as someone eats the dumpling she creates and feeds to them, all the animals will recognize her as their master."

"Most importantly... Moke discovered that this ability is suitable for Artificial Devil Fruit."

"In other words, defeat a strong opponent (as long as they're not a Devil Fruit user), feed them an Artificial Devil Fruit, and then have that Dango Fruit Devil Fruit User personally feed them a dumpling. That person instantly becomes someone else's fighting force?"

Even if this person has absolute faith; even if this person is a naval officer full of justice!

Is that what you mean?

Imu truly lives up to his Imu; the key is that he catches them every time.

These words left Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn speechless.

The four of them lowered their heads even further.

"And what's with this Artificial Devil Fruit?! When did Devil Fruit become man-made?"

Naturally formed Devil Fruit aren't enough for you guys to play with?

Or rather, you haven't mastered this ability to create Devil Fruit?

What are you doing?

Just watching?

Now that the power of that dumpling has manifested, and such a significant hidden danger exists between it and this Artificial Devil Fruit, you still haven't done anything?

Surely you can handle either the person who created the Artificial Devil Fruit or the Devil Fruit User this dumpling-dumpling fruit?

Or have these two already fallen into Moke's hands?

Saint Nusjuro: "..."

Saint Warcury: "..."

Saint Mars: "..."

Saint Saturn: "..."

They were increasingly at a loss for words when it came to Imu's questions. Really!

If they could, they'd dig a hole in the ground and bury themselves, really!

And look at the expressions of Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn.

Imu: "..."

He was completely convinced.

At this moment, he even wondered if he had been blind before, wondering why he had chosen these five things.

Now I suddenly realize that it's quite reasonable for one out of five to die.

With a brain like that, how could he possibly survive?

That's incredibly stupid.

"Hiss..."

At that moment, Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn suddenly clutched their heads in pain.

The four of them then looked at each other in bewilderment.

Seeing the four of them like this, Imu, sitting on the Empty Throne, suddenly had a very bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next second...

Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn looked at each other in shock, which quickly turned into horror.

Imu rubbed his head. "Don't tell me something big has happened again."

"Gurgle..."

Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn swallowed hard, finally forcing themselves to say, "Our memories have been affected again. We clearly remember that besides the Whitebeard Pirates, the Red-Haired Pirates, and the Moke Pirates, there was another pirate crew. But now, we can't remember what that crew was called. We don't even know what the captain's name was..."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Upon hearing this, Imu burst into laughter, but the laughter was truly chilling.

After a long while, Imu finally stopped. When his gaze fell on Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, and Saint Saturn, it had become extremely hostile. "So, Moke has taken down another Emperor Level pirate crew? Does that mean he'll have to accept the power of this Emperor Level pirate crew next?"

"Ultimately, will it become a combined force with three Emperor Level pirate crews?"

Saint Nusjuro looked at Saint Warcury.

Saint Warcury: "..." Why are you looking at me like that?

He then turned to look at Saint Mars.

Saint Mars: "..." What the hell? What can I do in this situation?

So he looked at Saint Saturn on the far right.

Saint Saturn: "..."What the hell?!

Whoever speaks up now is doomed!

Moreover, his mind is still a mess!

Seeing the state of these four guys, Imu's face twitched involuntarily, thinking to himself, "I'm afraid I can't count on these guys."

He took a deep breath.

Keeping himself calm, he finally said to the four, "Let the Knights of God in."
