Deep within the World Government, Flower Room.
It was pitch black here, without a single ray of light, as if nothing existed at all.
Suddenly, two beams of red light emanated from the otherwise silent and dark space.
These two beams of red light were none other than Imu's scarlet pupils.
At the same time, Imu's voice echoed in the quiet space.
"Almost there..."
"We've had enough of the aura of evil; now we need the aura of good!"
"It won't be long, I'll be able to..."
Imu's tone was slightly excited, but it quickly calmed down, and he said in a low voice:
" Xia Chen, Joy Boy!"
"I'll let you enjoy yourselves for a while longer. Once my plan succeeds, you will all become nourishment for me, helping me..."
Imu's voice grew softer and softer until it finally disappeared, and at the same time his scarlet pupils closed again.
Silence fell once again over the Flower Room.
Soon after, an order came from among the Flower Room.
In a large hall, the Five Elders sat solemnly, their eyes filled with unwavering doubt.
The five remained silent for a long time, until Saturn finally spoke softly:
"Lord Imu, what is this...?"
"Are you planning to destroy the world?"
Be careful what you say!
However, these words immediately drew Jupiter's gaze, Saturn fell silent, and the five of them fell silent once again.
Meanwhile, Jupiter, who had interrupted Saturn earlier, had a very interesting expression on its face, and it was unclear what it was thinking.
However, it was clear that Jupiter was not entirely satisfied either, because they had received an order that shocked them greatly.
Lord Imu actually ordered them to indiscriminately attack all civilians in the world.
They were shocked when they received this order.
He even entertained a rebellious idea.
Has Lord Imu lost his mind? Otherwise, why would he make such a decision?
Although they have massacred civilians and erased their existence before.
But the problem is--
At most, they'll just wipe out the people of one island!
The people of an island can't make any waves in this world. If they are wiped out, so be it. It won't have much of an impact on them.
But now Imu's orders are for them to indiscriminately annihilate all civilians in the world!
What kind of brain-dead idiot would come up with such a decision?!
They really wanted to say that, even though Imu was their king!
The reason their World Government enjoys its current superior status is because it is supported by ordinary people.
It is precisely because of ordinary people that they appear superior!
If we kill them all, there will be no one left for them to rule over.
Ordinary people are the greatest wealth in the world!
They are now massacring civilians, cutting off their own escape route!
Slaughtering pirates was one thing, though it was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and manpower-intensive, but the impact was not significant. However, slaughtering civilians now would have a huge impact on the world.
The five remained silent, unsure of what to say. After a long while, Venus finally sighed and spoke softly:
"Do as Lord Imu says!"
"Everything we have now was given to us by Lord Imu, and he can take it back at any time!"
"We may seem like the Five Elders, high and mighty, but actually..."
Venus's eyes flickered, and he didn't say what he was going to say, but the other four understood his meaning perfectly.
Venus paused for a moment, then continued:
"So... all we need to do is obey orders!"
"Give the order!"
"Initiate a massive massacre of all civilians worldwide!!"
On the other side, somewhere on Egghead Island.
Unlike the bustling futuristic science and technology city in the center of the island, everything here seems incredibly ancient, filled with the atmosphere of history and culture.
At that moment, a figure was pacing back and forth, looking around.
It was Usopp who had arrived early!
He had originally intended to head straight for the bustling future town after entering, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of this seemingly ancient ruin.
I don't know why, but I was inexplicably drawn here!
Usopp looked around at the ancient ruins that seemed out of place on the other side, a puzzled expression on his face.
He was a little confused as to why such a place would appear on this island.
However, as Usopp walked, he suddenly found that there was no road in front of him. He turned around and saw a rusty iron wall blocking his way.
After slightly raising his head, Usopp showed a hint of surprise on his face.
Because he discovered that what was blocking his way was not an iron wall, but a steel robot.
The robot was covered in rust and showed many signs of wear, all of which told the story of how much wind and rain it had endured.
In the past, he might have been very excited to see such a huge robot.
But now...
That's fine then!
After all, he had already seen Vegito, who was several times larger than this robot and many times more handsome.
Naturally, I wouldn't feel any excitement about this robot!
Speaking of this, Usopp couldn't help but feel itchy.
He vaguely remembered Luffy Vegito around having fun a while ago, and he was incredibly envious and jealous!
But he was helpless in the face of this, since Vegito had told them before that if they wanted to pilot him, they would have to defeat him.
If we can't win, then there's nothing we can do!
Luffy only gained the strength to defeat Vegito after Awakening Nika Form some time ago. Before that, he had tried many times but failed!
After that, he challenged Vegito once, and unsurprisingly suffered a crushing defeat.
His strength has indeed improved significantly during this period, but it is still far from being enough to defeat Vegito.
After all, Xia Chen himself said that Vegito's strength had reached the level of Admiral, and to defeat an Admiral...
He's still far from being able to do that!
Usopp shook his head, trying to clear his mind of those thoughts.
Although he admired Luffy, he believed that one day he would also have that kind of strength!
Usopp lightly leaped onto the ancient robot and examined it once more.
Um!
It's really ugly!
He's not even a tenth as good as Vegito!
With that in mind, Usopp prepared to jump down and continue exploring this ancient ruin.
However, at that moment, a tremor came from beneath him, Usopp swayed for a moment. Looking down, he could not see any change at a glance.
But the tremors beneath him did not subside; instead, they intensified until...
