"Okay."
"I'll tell Roya right now."
Sengoku agreed without hesitation.
If the Five Elders wanted to speak to Roya themselves, all the better. It spared Sengoku from being caught in the middle.
Then Sengoku turned to Roya. "Roya, I'm only passing on orders from above. They want to speak with you."
With that, Sengoku raised the Den Den Mushi.
Everyone froze.
None of them had expected the order to come from that high up.
Even Kaido and Big Mom frowned, though neither said a word.
They were Four Emperors now, and openly challenging the Navy was one thing.
But declaring war on the World Government was another. At least for now, neither of them could do that.
After all, as they saw it,
the World Government still held terrifying weapons, such as the Ancient Weapons!
Otherwise,
how could it have killed Rocks and sunk the entire island during that incident years ago?
For that reason,
Kaido and Big Mom remained cautious when it came to the World Government.
"Those high-and-mighty Five Elders, huh?"
"Come on, then. I'd like to hear what they have to say!"
Roya sneered. He had no intention of refusing.
Sengoku tossed the Den Den Mushi to Roya.
Roya caught it.
"The Five Elders, right?"
"I'm Roya!"
"If you've got something to say, spit it out!"
Roya showed them no respect at all.
He was no longer a Navy Admiral. And even if he were, so what?
He had dared to kill Celestial Dragons. Why would he care about showing the Five Elders respect?
"Roya!"
"Remember who you are and mind your tone when you speak to us!"
Sure enough,
the Five Elders were so used to looking down on everyone that they addressed Roya in their usual demanding tone.
"Heh."
"Who I am?"
"My tone?"
Roya
