What they didn't know was that Stussy had fallen under Liu Feng's Kotoamatsukami. After he altered her will, she swore to serve him to the death.
If they contacted Stussy and told her to watch Liu Feng, she would likely turn around and report them to him.
The Five Elders knew none of this, so the Flat Hat Five Elder's proposal passed. The others all agreed with him.
Liu Feng returned to his Palace and entered the System Space.
More than three months had passed. Counting his earlier draws, Liu Feng had drawn four Character Projections in total. He had been busy with matters in Wano Country, though, and hadn't had time to challenge them.

Liu Feng had already mastered the Six Powers, so the reward was an Ability Acquisition Card for them. He could give it to someone else, allowing them to gain an initial grasp of the Six
