The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.
In a room, five elderly men sat on a sofa, their faces stern and cold, clearly people in high positions.
At this moment, they were holding their weekly meeting, a meeting that they had only started six months ago after taking office.
The main purpose is to speculate on someone's movements, so the first topic is:
"Where is Xia Chen in the New World now?"
"His current whereabouts are unknown, but someone saw him on Secon Island a while ago!"
" Secon Island? Isn't that one of the islands where End Point is located? Could he also be interested in End Point?"
"That can't be it! I heard he only stayed there for a short time before heading out to sea! Maybe... he just went to soak in the hot springs? After all, the hot springs on Secon Island are really nice!"
"Never mind, it's good that he didn't do anything too drastic!"
"However... our stifling days will soon come to an end!" Saturn said with a mysterious smile.
Although Saturn didn't say it explicitly, the other four seemed to have guessed what it meant, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces.
"You mean... that lord is planning to make a move against Xia Chen?" Jupiter asked excitedly.
"Yes!" Saturn nodded.
"The lord and I have discussed it; he says he will definitely take action against Xia Chen within three to six months!"
"Then we won't have to live in fear anymore! We just need to get through these last few months!"
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Upon hearing this, the Five Elders all burst into laughter!
This was the first time they had been this happy in six months! Since becoming one of the Five Elders, their power had indeed increased significantly.
But the constant presence of Xia Chen, like a sword hanging over their heads, made them feel uneasy!
Today, they finally saw a glimmer of hope; they were finally able to escape Xia Chen...
What are you all laughing at? Why are you so happy?
Just then, a sudden voice rang out around them.
"Of course I'm laughing..." Venus said, but then suddenly realized something was off.
"That voice..."
Venus looked in the direction of the sound, and when she saw the person sitting there, her smile froze on her face. She said in disbelief:
"Xia... Xia Chen!"
Meanwhile, the other Five Elders also realized what was happening and looked at Xia Chen, who was sitting not far from them, with expressions of shock.
(#°Д°)!
Xia Chen looked at them with a faint smile, but the cold light in his eyes sent chills down their spines.
"Stop laughing! Why did you stop? You guys seemed to be having a good time! Come on, keep laughing!"
After Xia Chen said this, there was no sound for a long while.
Xia Chen narrowed his eyes, and his chilling voice sent a chill down the spines of the five people, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
"What? You don't want to smile anymore? Are you disrespecting me?"
Feeling the coldness and pressure emanating from Xia Chen, the five people felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and cold sweat kept seeping from their foreheads.
Xia Chen has become even stronger!
The same thought popped into the minds of all five of them!
They could sense that Xia Chen was now much more imposing than he had been six months ago!
At this moment, the five men's faces looked as if they had swallowed dead flies; they were extremely ugly!
Why is this jinx bothering them again?
As time passed, the oppressive feeling emanating from Xia Chen grew stronger and stronger. Cracks began to appear in the floor of the room, and they could even feel the house shaking.
"Gulp!"
Saturn couldn't help but swallow, and then...
"Hahaha..."
???
The other four looked at Saturn's forced laugh and a question mark appeared on their heads, but the next second...
"Hahaha..."
The four of them, like Saturn, burst into dry laughter, which only intensified.
Hahaha... Hahahaha...
The laughter of the five people echoed throughout the room.
Hahaha... Hahahaha...
The five of them laughed for more than ten minutes, their mouths were almost dry from laughing, and the muscles in their faces were twitching from laughing for so long, but they dared not stop.
Because after they laughed, Xia Chen indeed stopped releasing his oppressive aura.
They could now tell that Xia Chen was in a very bad mood and had come to confront them.
If they didn't continue laughing at this point, they couldn't guarantee that the enraged Xia Chen wouldn't kill them.
Having only enjoyed the power of the Five Elders for six months, they certainly didn't want to give up their hard-earned power so easily, so...
Laugh as hard as you can, as long as you don't die!
They are such cheerful old people!
However, they were also confused. What had they done to offend Xia Chen? They felt they hadn't done anything wrong!
They never even touch anything related to Xia Chen!
They didn't even bother with many other things, for fear that these things would implicate Xia Chen.
The six months they ruled the World Government were definitely the most peaceful six months since the establishment of their World Government!
A few minutes later, Xia Chen's calm voice rang out again.
"Okay, stop laughing! It sounds awful, and you keep laughing!"
Five Elders:??? Didn't you tell us to laugh?
The five elderly people feel very wronged, but they dare not speak out!
However, because I had been laughing for so long, even though I'm not laughing now, my mouth is still unconsciously agape.
Anyone who sees you when you go out will say:
What a kind and gentle old man!
It's unbelievable that this is a small group of people at the highest level of power in the World Government!
The five remained silent, like obedient children, waiting for Xia Chen to speak.
A few minutes later, Xia Chen finally spoke calmly, "Tell me, why did you attack the Revolutionary Army?"
"Um?"
As soon as Xia Chen said this, the five people immediately understood that Xia Chen was standing up for the Revolutionary Army.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because...
"We didn't wipe out the Revolutionary Army!" Saturn immediately blurted out, wishing his parents had given him more mouths to feed.
"Hmm? Didn't the newspaper say that your World Government and Navy wiped out the Revolutionary Army together?" Xia Chen asked, staring into Saturn's eyes.
"That was just us bragging!"
"Neither our World Government nor our Navy participated in the suppression of the Revolutionary Army!"
" The Revolutionary Army was wiped out by an unknown force, and we don't know who it was!"
"But..." Saturn paused for a moment before continuing:
"You know! Our World Government is a little bit concerned about saving face. Although we don't know who wiped out the Revolutionary Army, we'll definitely claim the credit!"
"This is to demonstrate the immense power of our World Government! In reality, we know nothing!"
After Saturn finished speaking, Xia Chen stared intently at him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
After a long while, Xia Chen finally looked away, stroking his chin in thought.
"If it wasn't the World Government, then who could it be?" Xia Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.
Now things have become more complicated. Which hidden force has attacked the Revolutionary Army?
It's rare, even extremely rare, to have the strength to wipe out the Revolutionary Army and ensure that not a single one of them escapes!
Whether the Five Elders would lie to him was not something he was considering!
They wouldn't dare to do that. This kind of thing is easy to investigate, and they wouldn't lie about it unless they wanted to die!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Xia Chen's mind, and he realized a certain possibility.
"Could it be...?"
Xia Chen sat on the sofa without saying a word for a long time. During this time, the Five Elders also remained silent, each of them huddled to one side like quails.
After a while, Xia Chen slowly got up.
"If it's that guy... then we'll have to think about it carefully!"
Then Xia Chen turned around and walked out, leaving behind a sentence just before he left.
Personally, I think Doflamingo might not be suitable to be Shichibukai!
"!!!"
