The Future King (Three)

The Holy Land of Mary Geoise stood atop the Red Line. It was home to the Celestial Dragons and the seat of the World Government.

In the Five Elders' meeting room, however, there was someone besides the Five Elders: a young man named Donquixote Sun, heir to the Donquixote Family!

Like Dragon D. William, he had come from another world and knew the Straw Hat Crew's advantages. He was also one of the few people who knew William's secret. That was precisely why he feared the crew would reach Laugh Tale before long!

He had been allowed to sit here not only because he was a Celestial Dragon, but because he had proposed wiping out the Straw Hat Crew.

"Aren't we going to stop them?" the bald Elder asked.

"They're only a pirate crew..." the swordsman Elder replied evenly, though he seemed to hesitate over the words "pirate crew."

"A pirate crew? They destroyed Big Mom's and Kaido's crews. You still call them only a pirate crew?" Donquixote Sun asked with a cold laugh.

Donquixote Sun did not know where Dragon D. William's Devil Fruit had come from, but the Straw Hat Pirates' current strength alone put them far beyond an ordinary pirate crew. And after the Straw Hat Crew defeated two of the Four Emperors, their influence had grown immense.

Of the current Four Emperors, only the Blackbeard Pirates were enemies of the Straw Hat Crew. The Red-Hair Pirates, on the other hand, had a relationship with them that was anything but clear-cut!

The former Whitebeard Pirates also seemed to have ties to the Straw Hat Crew.

With influence like that, how could anyone dismiss them?

Another Elder, the one with the scar, seemed to look further ahead. "But there's someone who can read the Ancient Script," he said
