The day after Figarland Saint Garling and the others finished their discussion, dozens more figures left Mary Geoise.
This time, the team is personally led by Topman Saint Warcury and Marcus Saint Mars, and also includes the Holy Knights and other powerful members of the CP.
This time, their mission was not to eliminate the Straw Hat Pirates, but to investigate Egghead, and they deployed a full ten Admiral -level powerhouses.
With the teleportation ability of the magic circle, they arrived at Egghead immediately. When they saw the shattered island, they seemed to understand the terrible battle that Saint Saturn and his group had gone through.
Topman Saint Warcury's face was full of solemnity. The remnants of this battle indicated that Saint Saturn was not powerless to fight back, but rather that he did not have time to teleport.
The thought of that bloodied arm sent chills down their spines, even to those in high positions of power.
Having worked together for so many years, they were well aware of Saint Saturn's strength; if it were them, they would probably have made the same decision.
"Marcus Saint Mars, it seems the enemy is very strong. They didn't give Saint Saturn any chance at all. Their goal is to completely eliminate Saint Saturn and his group."
Marcus Saint Mars nodded heavily, sharing the same thoughts.
"That's true, but what worries me even more is that Marine Admiral Borsalino, despite his abilities, has also disappeared without a trace."
"There's almost no one in this world who can keep up with his speed, and the only one I can think of is Thunder God Enel from the Abyss Chamber of Commerce."
"The strongest Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit is probably as fast as Borsalino, but killing him would be impossible."
Topman Saint Warcury instantly understood what the other party meant.
"You mean someone else participated in Borsalino's ambush, and hit him with a single blow, giving him no chance to escape."
Marcus Saint Mars nodded, then shook his head, a shadow passing over his eyes.
"That's possible. If it was Thunder God Enel made the move, it means the Abyss Chamber of Commerce was also involved. If Lin Yuan made the move personally, then that's also a possibility."
"However, there is another possibility: Borsalino is still alive, or even has betrayed us, but I can't understand why he would do that."
The two pondered for a while, Observation Haki was constantly probing their surroundings and that their magic circle remained active, as if they were afraid of being ambushed.
"Do you think we should go and investigate the Abyss Chamber of Commerce's territory? We brought so many powerful people with us this time, so we shouldn't be in any danger."
However, Topman Saint Warcury's words were immediately rejected by Marcus Saint Mars.
"No, the opponent is the world's strongest, and didn't you hear Figarland Saint Garling say that Lin Yuan easily crushed Red-Haired Shanks and Beckman all by himself?"
"We've never really understood their exact strength. Don't forget, Lin Yuan once led Enel, Naguri, and Yamato to defeat Garp and the Three Admirals."
"But we also sent a Admiral back then, and we have no idea how that guy died. This means that Lin Yuan has other powerful subordinates."
Topman Saint Warcury suddenly remembered that incident. Despite the large number of people they brought, Garp's strength was something even they feared.
But Lin Yuan wiped out so many people without suffering any harm back then.
The two Five Elders exchanged a glance, both considering resignation; they wouldn't risk their lives.
"Hehe, now that we've explored this area enough, let's go back and discuss it further. After all, the Straw Hat Pirates have already escaped, and Lin Yuan's whereabouts are unknown. Let the intelligence department investigate slowly later!"
"Yes, I second that. After all, they're like Nezumi, too afraid to show themselves in the world. There's nothing we can do about it."
Topman Saint Warcury and Marcus Saint Mars exchanged another glance, inwardly cursing each other as "old foxes," but they were of the same mind.
Soon, the white light of the magic circle shone again, and the group disappeared once more, truly coming and going in a hurry.
Shortly after they left, several heads rose from the nearby sea; they were Fish-Man Race warriors.
After observing for a while, they disappeared back into the sea.
Above the Flame Clouds, Lin Yuan listened intently to the Den Den Mushi.
"You mean the World Government sent many powerful individuals to investigate Egghead this time?!"
"Indeed, Boss Lin Yuan, what a pity. According to the Fish-Man Race warriors' senses, the enemy should have had many powerful members."
Listening to Tesoro's report, Lin Yuan remained silent for a while. For him, this was truly a pity. If he were still in the New World, he would definitely have led everyone in a surprise attack.
"Okay, I understand. You guys speed things up. I reckon those guys have probably guessed some of our intentions."
"I understand. It should all be in place within two months at most."
Lin Yuan and Tesoro chatted for a while longer before hanging up the Den Den Mushi, all the while analyzing the World Government's intentions in their minds.
"They only stayed on Egghead for half a day and then left, without even going to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters. Are these old guys scared?"
Lin Yuan complained that the " Abyss " Merchant Guild was now deserted. Half a month ago, Tesoro set off with the last bit of supplies.
Even if the World Government chose to raid the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, all they would see would be those buildings.
Lin Yuan never expected that the other party would actually leave, and they seemed to be in a hurry, as if they were afraid that someone would try to assassinate them.
He had no idea that Figarland Saint Garling wanted to continue pursuing the Straw Hat Pirates, but Lucy Saint Saturn and Marcus Saint Mars had no such intention.
They've been in that top position for far too long; they wouldn't risk their lives. Even with many powerful figures around them, they still have reservations when facing the unknown.
Even in their hearts, some mocked Saint Saturn's foolishness.
As for Figarland Saint Garling, although he is the leader of the Holy Knights and a newly appointed member of the Five Elders appointed by Imu, neither of them takes the other seriously.
If this matter is resolved completely, Figarland Saint Garling, who ultimately proposed the solution, will be credited first, while they will have to risk their lives.
For Lucy and Saint Saturn, this was a very unprofitable deal.
Even in Mary Geoise, while they were loyal to Imu, they also considered their own families, and the two of them would not allow the Figarland Family to become too powerful.
Lin Yuan was unaware of these things, and even if he had, it would only have strengthened his resolve to destroy the World Government.
