The call ended.
A deathly silence fell over the conference room.
The Five Elders exchanged a glance, and they all saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
Pure Gold...
If Roy were to obtain Pure Gold and achieve immortality...
That would be a huge threat to World Government.
A great pirate with immortality can slowly accumulate power and wait for the right opportunity.
What will the world become?
Saint Saturn took a deep breath.
"This matter must be taken seriously."
"We must not let the Pure Gold fall into Roy's hands."
The other four nodded in agreement.
"Agree."
We must stop him.
"Alright!"
Saint Saturn Path
"I suggest we refrain from any rash actions."
"Given the current situation in the New World, a large-scale entry into the New World is clearly unrealistic."
Upon hearing this, Saint Mars looked at Saint Saturn, " Saturn, what are your thoughts?" "What are your thoughts?"
Saint Saturn was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.
I have two plans.
"First, spread the news of Pure Gold and its effects through secret channels to inform all major powers."
"Let them all know what Roy is looking for."
"In this way, other forces will inevitably become interested in Pure Gold."
" Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, Golden Lion... they won't stand idly by."
"Let them fight, let them rob, let them wear down Roy's power."
"We'll sit back and watch the tigers fight."
The other four elders exchanged glances, seemingly lost in thought.
Saint Saturn continued,
"Second, dispatch the Holy Knights and high-ranking naval forces secretly into the New World G-1 Branch."
"Once Pure Gold appears, seize it immediately!"
"We must not allow Pure Gold to fall into the wrong hands!"
The other four nodded again.
"Agree."
Saint Saturn looked at the other four people.
"Then it's settled."
"Dispatch the Holy Knights and high-ranking naval forces to secretly enter the G-1 Branch in the New World to await orders."
"Once Pure Gold appears, act immediately!"
"Yes!"
The Five Elders ' orders were quickly relayed.
The massive machine of the World Government began to operate at high speed.
The Holy Knights, the World Government's strongest secret force, has begun to assemble.
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku also received instructions from the Five Elders and personally selected the personnel for this operation.
Admiral Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji were all dispatched.
Vice Admiral Garp, Tsuru, Chaton, Momousagi, and other elite troops also accompanied him.
In addition, there are dozens of warships and tens of thousands of elite naval personnel.
This lineup is enough to wipe out any pirate crew.
" Sengoku, are you sure you want to send so many people?"
"You should understand the importance of Pure Gold, Garp!"
"If Roy were granted immortality, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"It's better to stop it now than to regret it later."
Garp remained silent.
He knew that Sengoku was right.
Pure Gold... it is indeed extremely important.
He sighed.
"Okay."
"However, that kid's Devil Fruit Awakening."
Sengoku nodded.
"I know."
"Therefore, the Holy Knights will also be deployed this time."
A hint of surprise flashed in Garp's eyes.
" The Holy Knights?"
"Those guys are here too?"
Sengoku Road
"Um."
"The order was personally given by the Five Elders."
"Hey-hey!"
"Interesting."
"It seems even the World Government can't sit still anymore."
The World Government's order, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirred up ripples.
Encrypted commands were transmitted through secret channels to spies lurking around the New World.
Some of these spies ran taverns on islands controlled by the Whitebeard Pirates, while others worked as merchants in Big Mom's Totto Land Island.
Some mingle in the Underworld trading markets, and some have even infiltrated the inner workings of certain major pirate crews.
The moment they received the order, they all realized that a storm was about to break.
The New World, an island under the jurisdiction of the Whitebeard Pirates.
In an unassuming tavern, the owner was wiping wine glasses.
His gaze inadvertently swept over the Whitebeard Pirates flag hanging on the wall, and a barely perceptible cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Night fell, and the tavern closed.
The owner quietly went to the tavern's basement and activated an encrypted Den Den Mushi snap sticky rice dump).
"Intelligence received. Commence execution."
He took a deep breath and took out a document he had prepared beforehand from his pocket. It detailed the effects of " Pure Gold " and clues about the Roy Pirates' search for lanternfish.
The next day, the document appeared in a tavern frequented by several Whitebeard Pirates, and was "accidentally" dropped on the ground by a waiter who was "by chance" passing by.
New World, Totto Land.
Big Mom's intelligence network is equally efficient.
A spy infiltrated a dessert caravan, taking advantage of the opportunity to offer tribute to Big Mom, cleverly slipped a piece of intelligence into the daily reports.
The intelligence report stated, "According to reliable sources, the Roy Pirates are searching extensively for lanternfish, but their true purpose is to find the legendary ' Pure Gold ' that can grant immortality."
Big Mom was enjoying a dessert when she saw the information.
Her greedy eyes narrowed instantly.
" Pure Gold... eternal life..."
She put down the dessert in her hand, and a meaningful smile appeared on her plump face.
"Mom, where did this information come from...?"
Perospero asked cautiously.
Big Mom waved her hand, "It's not important."
"The important question is whether this news is true or false."
She paused, then added, "Have the intelligence network keep an eye on things."
"If Roy really does find Pure Gold, we can't let this opportunity pass us by."
The New World, the territory of the Flying Pirates.
Golden Lion Shiki sat on the floating Sky Island, holding the same intelligence report in his hand.
"Hahaha!"
He burst into laughter, his eyes flashing with a mad light.
" Pure Gold! Immortality!"
"That kid is actually looking for something like this!"
His subordinate stood aside, "Brother Shiki, should we...?"
The Golden Lion waved his hand, "No rush, no rush."
"Let that kid go first."
"Once we find it, we'll go rob it!"
"Hahaha! Then I'll be immortal too!"
The New World, the Wano Country.
Kaido was chugging wine when suddenly one of his subordinates rushed over.
"Governor Kaido! Important intelligence!"
Kaido put down his gourd of sake. "Speak!"
A subordinate handed over a document, "Regarding the true purpose of the Roy Pirates' search for the lanternfish—"
Kaido took the document and quickly scanned it.
A moment later, his pupils contracted slightly.
" Pure Gold..."
"Eternal life..."
He was silent for a moment, then grinned.
"Interesting."
"That kid actually kept it from me."
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the distant sea.
"Get him on the phone!"
Meanwhile, the giants of the Underworld also began to take action.
Big News Morgans sat in his office, looking at the intelligence report in his hand, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
" Pure Gold! Immortality! This is Big News Morgans!"
He immediately ordered his men, "Send men to Hachinosu! Under the guise of business cooperation, inquire about clues regarding Pure Gold!"
Stussy, the woman who is ostensibly the Queen of the Pleasure District but is actually a member of CP0, also received secret instructions from the World Government.
She gracefully picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
" Roy... Pure Gold..."
She put down her teacup, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
"Interesting."
