Sudden Call from the Five Elders

Right at this moment.

Why would the Five Elders contact him?

Sengoku found it a bit hard to fathom.

This Summit War at Marineford was not even over yet.

Could it be.

Were they going to call him to account right now?

That was very likely!

After all, this war was being broadcast to an audience all over the world.

Besides the viewers everywhere, even the Celestial Dragons over at Marineford were watching the battle.

Perhaps they were indeed coming to assign blame; after all, the current situation had truly caused their Marines to lose face completely, and wasn't the Marines losing face also the face of the World Government?

However.

Even if the Five Elders were going to question Sengoku right now, there was nothing he could do about it—he couldn't just not answer, could he?

If he refused to answer, then things would only get even bigger.

With no other choice.

Sengoku could only bite the bullet and answer the Den Den Mushi.

"I am Sengoku!"

Sengoku wore a stern expression.

"Sengoku!"

"What on earth is the situation at Marineford?"

"You don't think it's all over just because Whitebeard and Fire Fist Ace are dead, do you?"

Sure enough.

The Five Elders' questioning directly turned into a reprimand aimed right at Sengoku.

Anyway, this was already within Sengoku's expectations. After all, those people high up above didn't care what kind of situation the people at the bottom had experienced; to them, all they wanted was results, and the process didn't matter even if you died—as long as they achieved the result they wanted.

Otherwise.

Even if you died, they would not let you rest in peace.

And those high-and-mighty Celestial Dragons were just like that; the Marines were nothing more than hired hands to them, with no exceptions,
