A Conversation with the Five Elders (Continued)

On this point, they reached an agreement with Vice Admiral Xia Le.

She slowly turned her head and saw Crocodile smoking a Cigar, exhaling smoke rings, and Bullet smiling with a hint of excitement on his face.

T Bone slowly drew the long sword from his waist, then snapped it shut. He looked up and stared at the tall figure in front of him.

Without a doubt, this group of people had an unwavering belief; no matter how absurd the situation, they only trusted their Superior Officer.

"And what about me?"

Should we trust him, focus wholeheartedly on pursuing him, and not be distracted by anything else?

Ivy thought to herself.

But she arrived at her answer in just a moment.

"Superior Officer Xia Le is someone worth following!"

"He did nothing wrong!"

If the person in front of you is not at fault, then the fault must lie with others.

"We should follow the Truth and pursue the right path."

Ivy gripped the long sword at her waist, her resolve hardening.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in my arms suddenly rang.

The sudden tremor startled Ivy, but she quickly recovered and looked down to see that the Den Den Mushi was a stern-faced, imposing Elder.

It sounded a little unfamiliar, but she didn't consider it a spam call.

This Den Den Mushi is the official communication channel exclusively for Vice Admiral Xia Le, meaning that only those of the same or higher rank at the Marine Headquarters can make the call.

"Hello, Colonel Ivy from Branch G-18."

Ivy said in a deep voice.

"Let your Superior Officer answer the phone."

"We want to speak with him."

An aged yet authoritative voice rang out.

The words alone sent a shiver down Ivy's spine, making her feel instinctively inferior to the other person.

This was definitely a high-ranking official within the Navy, someone she couldn't even imagine.

"You?"

At the same time, she keenly noticed the words the other person used.

"Let him receive it himself."

"At your level, you are not qualified to answer this call."

The Elder's voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of coldness, causing Ivy's pupils to contract and fine beads of sweat to appear on her forehead.

She turned her head and looked at the figure standing on the Scepter as if seeking help.

The next second, the Den Den Mushi suddenly floated up and drifted into Xia Le's hand.

"Speak!"

A flat voice rang out, and Xia Le's eyes remained completely expressionless.

"You should be able to guess who we are."

"Xia Le."

The Elder said calmly.

I guessed it.

Xia Le nodded.

Ivy, along with Crocodile, Bullet, and the others behind her, listened quietly, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"The Five Elders, right?"

Immediately afterwards, five simple words floated out, causing everyone on the entire Warship to shrink in shock, their eyes revealing expressions of horror.

Five Elders!

The true power behind the World Government, in name only, consists of Five Elders who control global power.

"Now that you know, our conversation will be much simpler."

The Elder spoke calmly, paused slightly, and then spoke in a deep voice.

"Listen, Vice Admiral Xia Le."

"The affairs of Ohara are not something a mere navy officer like you can interfere with."

"The seriousness of the issues involved will exceed your expectations."

"If you back down now, we can pretend nothing happened."

Upon hearing this, Xia Le suddenly burst into laughter.

"I know what you're worried about, and I know what you're afraid of."

The sudden words caused the Five Elders' eyes to narrow and reveal a cold glint.

"So, what do you know?"

Xia Le held Den Den Mushi in her hand, but her gaze was fixed ahead.

"Eight Hundred Years Ago, there were Twenty Kingdoms, that is, Nation ruled by Twenty Kings."

The words spoken at the very beginning had already shaken the Five Elders.

"But at the same time, there is another incredibly powerful Nation."

"It possesses advanced technological civilization and power comparable to that of the Twenty Kingdoms combined."

"The so-called Void Century of Eight Hundred Years Ago is precisely that."

As Xia Le finished speaking, the Sea Breeze ahead seemed to pick up even stronger.

"Shut up!"

A cold, loud shout suddenly rang out from the Den Den Mushi.

You already know too much!

Do you want to be wiped out?

Upon Wen Yan, Xia Le's smile vanished instantly, replaced by an icy and chilling expression.

He took a deep breath, and a low, ferocious, and frenzied roar, like that of a wild beast, came from his throat.

"Annihilate me?"

"Then let's give it a try!!!"

"Click!"

With a sudden burst of force from his right hand, the Den Den Mushi shattered into dust and floated into the void.

An invisible aura of dominance suddenly radiated out, and starting from the Warship, the ripples on the sea ahead instantly froze and stopped.

"Boom!"

A dazzling Lightning ripped through the sky.

A suffocating aura rolled out, crushing everything in its path.

On the Warship, Ivy was visibly shocked, her whole body trembling.

In that instant, the figure before her was like the majestic and imposing lord of Gods from mythology. Behind him, Crocodile, Bullet, and the others had eyes that were sharp and chilling to the extreme.

No one expected that the Five Elders would suddenly send a message at this moment, and even less expected that Xia Le would take such a decisive and tough stance when facing those five supreme beings.

"Eight Hundred Years Ago, Void Century."

"The twenty kings, their descendants are the Celestial Dragons, right?"

"What is the name of that enormous Nation, as powerful as the Twenty Kingdoms?"

Crocodile, Bullet, and the others murmured.

But everyone was well aware that they had inadvertently overheard a world-shaking piece of news. Its seriousness was such that the Five Elders might utter words of annihilation.

The problem has become quite complex.

"You all heard that, didn't you?"

Just then, Xia Le's light, airy voice drifted over.

Ivy looked up blankly.

"Anyone who heard those words will be eliminated by the World Government."

Immediately afterwards, another sentence came.

The air seemed to freeze. Ivy opened her mouth wide, tears streaming down her face, her whole body trembling. Crocodile, Bullet, and the others' pupils contracted, their hearts pounding.

"So."

"Everyone here, like me, has no other choice!"

Xia Le grinned.

His eyes were fixed ahead, a Deep Abyss look appearing on them.

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

"The Nefertari."

"He really is a traitor!"

The icy voice rang out, and the atmosphere in the entire palace suddenly froze.

"Eight Hundred Years Ago, their ancestor Lily."

One person spoke softly, but was quickly interrupted.

"That's history now. The Nefertari Family is still one of the Twenty Kings descendants."

"Their fate can only be decided by the one in Pangaea Castle."

After a pause, another dignified Elder spoke.

"Ohara has crossed a taboo subject and should be eradicated."

"This is also a warning to the world."

"Since Xia Le dared to obstruct us, he should be wiped out as well!"

But soon, another person exited.

"I think everyone here has seen information about him."

"This man not only possesses strength comparable to Roger Golden Lion, but his bloodline is also somewhat special."

"Possibly possessing Immortality constitution!"

The somber words plunged the palace into silence once more.

Only after a long while did a soft sigh finally escape.

"If we can't eradicate it, then we'll discuss the next step."

"He doesn't seem to know anything about his background."

--

West Blue of Ohara.

The black dots suddenly appeared, and after about several dozen breaths, they became clear. The outlines of twenty massive Warship were revealed.

"Lieutenant Vice Admiral Kuzan."

"We've arrived in Ohara!"

On a Warship, a sailor looked at the Island ahead and exclaimed in surprise.

What are you yelling about?
