" Lin Yuan, we just killed a Celestial Dragons at the Admiral level? That was way too easy!"
Looking at the Devil Fruit in Lin Yuan's hand, Kuina and Yamato still looked like they were dreaming. They hadn't expected that simply accompanying Lin Yuan to investigate would lead to the defeat of a powerful enemy.
They could also sense each other's presence. If they were on the ground, it would be uncertain who would win in a one-on-one fight.
But with Lin Yuan with them, crushing their opponent was as easy as squashing an ant.
"Heh, you're not dreaming. This guy is indeed a Admiral- level expert, it's just that he ran into us."
Kuina said with a grin.
"Hehe, it's his own fault. Just because he has the ability to fly, he thought he could crash into our Flame Clouds. I don't know if he's out of his mind."
"Exactly, that guy is a complete idiot. You have no idea how satisfying that was for me. By the way, Lin Yuan, what kind of fruit does he have?"
Kuina and Yamato chatted happily. Even they were excited to have killed such a powerful opponent. Their only regret was that it had all been too easy.
However, they were too embarrassed to say this out loud, otherwise others would definitely criticize them.
"Hehe, not bad. This is an Ancient Zoan, Ancient Zoan with the ability to fly. They're still too rare. But we need to go back soon. If this guy dies here, the World Government will probably take action."
Just as Lin Yuan had expected, the Five Elders received the news when the three of them easily killed their opponent and obtained the Devil Fruit from him.
As early as a month ago, when Saint Saturn and his group were defeated and killed, the Five Elders and Imu already knew about it. As the World Government, they naturally had the Vivre Card of these people.
A month ago, when Saint Saturn's arm was teleported to them, the Five Elders looked at the Vivre Card that had burned out and immediately reported the news to Imu.
To their surprise, Imu showed no emotion whatsoever, merely staring coldly at the group. Izanbaron V. Saint Nusjuro and the others were terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Imu did not pursue their failure. Instead, he ordered that the pursuit of the Straw Hat Pirates cease and appointed Figarland Saint Garling to replace Saint Saturn before disappearing.
Looking at the Vivre Card that had been completely burned out, the Five Elders gathered together again to discuss what to do.
Izambalon V. Saint Nusjuro spoke first.
"I've already had someone check. This guy said he went down there for a visit, but I never expected him to die there. I've sent people to investigate and find out who did it. What do you all think about this?"
The other Five Elders remained silent this time, instead frowning in thought. In the past month, the World Government had suffered heavy losses, and even Saint Saturn, who held a similar position to them, had died.
However, they had no idea what had happened, and Marine Admiral Borsalino also did not return, along with the navy he had brought with him.
Sakazuki has come to them several times demanding an explanation for this matter.
However, neither Garp nor Borsalino left behind any Vivre Card, so the Marine Headquarters was in complete panic upon hearing of Saint Saturn's death.
They tried to contact Borsalino multiple times, but received no response. Ultimately, the Marine Headquarters predicted that Borsalino and all his naval personnel had perished.
Figarland Saint Garling pondered for a moment, then spoke.
"Let's not make this public for now. We'll report it to Lord Imu, of course, but I feel this matter isn't so simple."
Figarland, do you know something?
Lucy Saint Saturn looked at Figarland Saint Garling with suspicion, knowing that he was the leader of the Holy Knights and might know something else.
"Well, there's something I'm really wondering about: the true strength of the Abyss Chamber of Commerce. Although Lord Imu said they're nothing to fear, I think we should still investigate them thoroughly."
The others exchanged glances; they dared not question Imu Im's decision like Figarland Saint Garling.
" Figarland, can you tell us why?"
Figarland Saint Garling, fiddling with the long sword in his hand, slowly spoke.
"As you know, I have two sons, one of whom is Red-Haired Shanks, who came back recently."
The other Five Elders knew about Shanks' return to Mary Geoise, and Lord Imu even met with Shanks recently.
" Figarland, is there a problem?"
Figarland Saint Garling nodded, then frowned and spoke.
"That's the problem. I talked to him. He lost to Lin Yuan, and his entire pirate crew was wiped out. His only opponents were Lin Yuan and his women."
"I've heard that the Abyss Chamber of Commerce has other powerful figures, and even has good relations with other emperors, which I find somewhat puzzling."
"You have to understand Shanks ' strength. Even I wasn't absolutely certain I could defeat him, but Lin Yuan did. Besides, Garp and the Three Admirals of the Navy have also fought against Lin Yuan."
"I've investigated the Abyss Chamber of Commerce, but there's no clear answer regarding the strength of Lin Yuan and his subordinates. In fact, the New World has been quite peaceful these past few years."
Figarland Saint Garling became increasingly puzzled by what he said, and the other Five Elders also frowned, having noticed the anomaly as well.
They knew Saint Saturn's strength; he was no less powerful than them, and he possessed Mythical Zoan and an immortal body.
Moreover, this immortality has a limit; they can only be killed instantly by an attack exceeding their regenerative capacity.
To achieve this, unless many powerful individuals attack together, or there is absolute control like that of Lord Imu, it is simply impossible to annihilate them.
However, the Straw Hat Pirates alone could not accomplish this. Even if the opponent was the reincarnation of Joy Boy, it would still be somewhat impossible, considering that they had dispatched four powerful warriors at the level of Emperors.
Izanbaron V. Saint Nusjuro looked at Figarland Saint Garling with a gloomy gaze and asked in a heavy tone.
" Figarland, what suggestions do you have?"
Figarland Saint Garling thought for a moment, then spoke.
"I believe we need to reinvestigate the Abyss Chamber of Commerce, especially Lin Yuan's strength and his relationships with other Emperor-level pirate crews. Additionally, we should mobilize all intelligence agencies to thoroughly investigate the situation in the New World."
"Furthermore, I will personally report to Lord Imu. As for the Straw Hat Pirates, we must spare no effort to kill them."
"Finally, we must also send people to investigate the Revolutionary Army's whereabouts, and if necessary, we will personally take action to eliminate them."
Figarland Saint Garling knew about the relationship between Shanks and Straw Hat Luffy, but at this moment, his heart was filled with murderous intent; no one could challenge the authority of the World Government.
Furthermore, he also felt a deep sense of unease towards Lin Yuan and the " Abyss " Chamber of Commerce. Figarland Saint Garling had a feeling that this force was even more powerful than he had imagined, and that it was even possible that they were behind everything.
Izanbaron V. Saint Nusjuro and the others exchanged glances, then spoke at the same time.
I second that!!!
