As a Celestial Dragon family, the Nefertari family is a member of the D. clan, even though the 20 royal families are sworn enemies of the D. clan for generations. This fact is unknown even to other Celestial Dragon families!
When Cobra learned of this news, he was completely stunned.
But that's not the point.
The key point is that the 19 blades that were placed upside down in front of the throne were the original 20 kings who founded the World Government. They hoped to use this to warn future generations that no one should be allowed to rise above everyone else and become the master of the Empty Throne.
But now, of the 20 blades that were originally stuck upside down in front of the Void Throne, only 19 remain. The missing blade is none other than the one from the Nefertari family!
and……
As Lord Im ascended the steps and slowly sat upon the Void Throne, Cobra quickly lowered his head, trying not to let anyone notice the solemn look in his eyes.
"What brings you to this audience today?"
Lord Im's casual remark interrupted Cobra's thoughts and brought him back to reality.
Before anyone else could speak, Cobra knelt on the red carpet as if offering a fawning gesture, bowing to Lord Im amidst the disdainful gazes of his colleagues, and said:
"Reporting to the great and esteemed Lord Im, Shanks the Red-Haired previously met with us at Pangaea Castle and informed us of the current whereabouts of Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night. He is currently on Jaya Island in the Grand Line and has planted a demonic tree on the island, which is suspected to have the power to destroy the world."
Lord Im, as usual, met with the Five Elders with an unchanging expression and a heart full of boredom. Only when he heard the news of the whereabouts of Li Qing, the Lord of the Night, did a slight ripple appear in Lord Im's calm heart, which was then stirred into a raging storm.
"very good!"
Lord Im glanced at Cobra with a hint of appreciation and said in a deep voice:
"It seems you are truly my lucky charm. You have only been one of the Five Elders for less than a year, yet you have been able to obtain such important intelligence. It is no wonder that I value you so highly."
Upon hearing this, apart from Jaigollucia Satan, who was disguised as the Crescent Moon Hunter Katrina Devon, the other three were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment, secretly regretting that they hadn't reported the information sooner.
If they could gain Lord Im's favor, not only would they be absolved of their previous incompetence, but their families would also receive tremendous benefits.
Lord Im nodded slightly and said:
"I have always been fair in my dealings, rewarding those who have made contributions and punishing those who have made mistakes. Whatever reward you desire, Cobra, you may have it as long as it is within my permission."
Upon hearing this, the three Elders were so jealous that they almost broke apart on the spot. Look at this treatment and reward! Is Cobra really not a direct descendant of Lord Im? Why have they never received such a reward?
Chapter 369 King Uranus
Lord Im nodded slightly and said:
"I have always been fair in my dealings, rewarding those who have made contributions and punishing those who have made mistakes. Whatever reward you desire, Cobra, you may have it as long as it is within my permission."
Upon hearing this, the three Elders were so jealous that they almost broke apart on the spot. Look at this treatment and reward! Is Cobra really not a direct descendant of Lord Im? Why have they never received such a reward?
Thinking about it this way, they were instantly moved to tears, their sorrow flowing like a river.
Sometimes, the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs!
Think of how they toil day and night amidst mountains of books and seas of literature, racking their brains to balance the power in various regions, their hair thinning day by day, some even bald, all just to earn a word of praise from Lord Im.
Look at Cobra, he's only been one of the Five Elders for less than a year and he already gets this kind of treatment.
Could it be that our kneeling posture was incorrect?
Cobra's eyes flickered, naturally understanding that this was an opportunity—a chance to get close to Lord Im and obtain information about him.
However, after spending some time with him, Cobra realized even more that Lord Im was a man of deep cunning. No one knew whether this was a spur-of-the-moment decision or a carefully planned scheme. Therefore, Cobra suppressed his own thoughts and decided to play it safe at the crucial moment, continuing in a tone so sickeningly sweet it gave one goosebumps:
“Great and noble Lord Im, how fortunate I am to serve you. I am content as long as I can do things for you, and I do not covet any rewards.”
The other four members of the Five Elders exchanged glances, inwardly gasping for breath.
"hiss!"
"This person is terrifying!"
They understood why Cobra was so admired by Lord Im. With his thick skin and shameless flattery, he had probably really hit Lord Im's sore spot!
Lord Im seemed quite pleased to see the descendants of the Nefertari family humiliating themselves in this way, bowing and scraping before him, which gave him a genuine sense of pleasure.
“Cobra, I admire your performance. I know you were heartbroken after the Revolutionary Army took over the Kingdom of Alabasta, and even those around you betrayed you. I can give you two choices. The first choice is that you can choose a deserted island, bring the Nefertari family members to the island, and rebuild the kingdom. The second choice is that you can make one reasonable request to me, and I can grant it.”
Kobra was overjoyed upon hearing this.
However, he couldn't make a decision on his own, so he had to discuss it with Yang Ming afterward before making a final decision.
So, Cobra remained expressionless and said in a deep voice:
"Reporting to the great and noble Lord Im, I am foolish and have not yet decided on a choice. May I wait until I have thought it through before awarding the reward?"
"can."
After their conversation, Cobra gained a lot and was one step closer to uncovering Lord Im's true identity. This put him in a great mood, and he even walked out of the flower room with a light step, which made the other five elders so jealous that they almost gritted their teeth.
Lady Im, trailing her long robe, walked into the depths of the flower garden. On the table was a huge straw hat, the style of which should only be worn by giants. On the table were two photos, one of Yang Ming and the other of Li Qing, the Lord of the Night.
Lord Im stroked Yang Ming's photo for a while, then put it down again, took out an ancient blade, and stuck it upside down into the photo of Li Qing, the Lord of the Night.
"Want to recreate the feat of Rocks D. Gibbek?"
"Looks like yet another ignorant and fearless member of the D clan!"
"Things aren't like they were eight hundred years ago!"
Not long after Lord Im met with the Five Elders, a thick black cloud suddenly swept across the clear blue sky above Jaya Island on the Grand Line, making the earth look as if a giant cauldron had been placed over its head.
The sky grew darker and darker, with dark clouds pressing down relentlessly towards the low sky as if they were rushing to a market. The clouds grew thicker and thicker, and the sky seemed to drop lower and lower. In an instant, the sky darkened and the earth became gloomy, and a terrifying, oppressive atmosphere began to spread, as if something incredibly horrifying was approaching.
Fortunately, after several devastations, Jaya Island was deserted. Even the pirates and pirate hunters who originally came to loot and search for the treasures left behind by the supernovas had all slunk away after hearing that Shanks and Mihawk's joint attempt to raid Jaya Island had failed. They had long since restrained their greed and regarded Jaya Island as a forbidden zone for humans. Even if they sailed nearby, they would immediately turn back and dare not approach this area of water.
Marine creatures, guided by their animal instincts, sensed a tremendous sense of unease descending upon them.
In an instant, large schools of fish scattered in all directions, and many even leaped out of the water, trying to overtake others.
In the sky, dark clouds rolled and surged, and thunder rumbled from all directions, like a thousand horses galloping. A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, as if a thunder god was high above the heavens, about to eradicate the evil ten-tailed divine tree from this world. A huge pillar of lightning descended from the sky, and the blindingly bright lightning illuminated the entire sky in a ghastly white light.
The Ten-Tailed Divine Tree, with its Rinne Sharingan wide open, had already transmitted the scene before it to Yang Ming through its connection with him.
"Is this the power of one of the ancient weapons, Uranus, the King of the Gods?"
Even though Yang Ming saw this scene through the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree's perspective, he could still feel that earth-shattering power.
If Yang Ming were willing to destroy the world to fully unleash the power of his Zanpakuto's Bankai, it wouldn't be impossible to contend with it, but such a price is clearly not one that Yang Ming is willing to bear.
The Ten-Tailed Divine Tree roared to the sky, and highly concentrated Tailed Beast Cannons had already condensed at the tips of its ten enormous wooden tendrils. As the roar subsided, the ten massive Tailed Beast Cannons shot out, clashing with the destructive light descending from the sky.
The destructive lightning of Uranus, the king of the gods, and the tailed beast cannon of the Ten-Tails were both among the most destructive forces in the world. However, after resisting for a while, the dark tailed beast cannon was eventually annihilated in the huge lightning. Along with the Ten-Tails God Tree and the island of Jaya where it was located, it was as if it was erased from the map at this moment, and no trace of the island could be seen anymore.
Chapter 370 Thinking
The destructive lightning of Uranus, the king of the gods, and the tailed beast cannon of the Ten-Tails were both among the most destructive forces in the world. However, after resisting for a while, the dark tailed beast cannon was eventually annihilated in the huge lightning. Along with the entire Ten-Tails tree and the island of Jaya where it was located, it was as if it was erased from the map at this moment, and no trace of the island could be seen anymore.
This ability to cleanse the world is truly terrifying.
After the destructive lightning, large raindrops fell rapidly, and a torrential downpour pattered on the sea surface, creating ripples. Everything around was deathly silent, and even the fish that hadn't had time to escape from the seabed perished in the destructive lightning.
The wind stopped, the rain ceased, and the clouds dispersed.
As the thick, dark clouds gradually dissipated, the sky returned to a clear, azure blue, but there was no trace of Gaya Island in the original location.
Yang Ming's gaze shifted to his alternate dimension, the "Map of Mountains and Rivers." At the most critical moment, he moved the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree into this alternate dimension, which saved it from disaster. Otherwise, whether it could have survived the destructive lightning of Uranus would have been uncertain.
Only by directly confronting the power of Uranus, the King of the Heavens, can one understand the source of Im's confidence in ruling the world from behind the scenes.
To put it bluntly, even Kaido of the Beasts, who was once hailed as the strongest creature in the world, would have been defeated and utterly annihilated when faced with Uranus's destructive lightning.
No wonder, back then, the Rocks Pirates defeated Kaido of the Beasts, Shiki the Golden Lion, and others, but still lost to the World Government. It was no wonder they lost so badly.
What Yang Ming is curious about now is the source of Uranus's terrifying attack and whether it can be used repeatedly. These are questions that need to be explored and investigated by someone so that Yang Ming doesn't have to worry about them.
Yang Ming used the spatial anchor point to teleport to the sky island and transplanted the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree there.
While the Navy is busy preparing manpower and resources to attack the Bigo Pirates, he has some free time to keep an eye on the beta testers of the game One Piece Online.
Coby and Helmeppo struggled to row their lone boat, enduring storms, tsunamis, and pursuit by sea kings and great white sharks over the past month. They finally crossed the vast ocean and arrived at the capital of the Goa Kingdom in the East Blue.
For the past month or so, every night before falling asleep, they would enter the mysterious One Piece Online game. They also experimented and found that they could not enter the game if they did not fall asleep. This discovery made them even more eager to explore the secrets behind One Piece Online.
They had a vague feeling that the secret behind this would give them a big surprise.
Their exploration over the past month has given them a clear understanding of the nature of the Goa Kingdom. Given their current slovenly appearance and attire, they would definitely be hunted down by the patrolling guards once they entered the city.
Therefore, before entering the city, they first found a clean river outside the city, washed their whole bodies and clothes clean, and then dried their clothes before entering this city that felt so familiar to them, dressed in a presentable manner.
The Kingdom of Goa is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city is the residential area for nobles, while the outer city is the residential area for ordinary people. Based on their memories, the two found their home in the game with ease.
When they saw the obvious hole in the glass window, Koby and Bellmare's pupils contracted.
If they remember correctly, on their first night in the One Piece Online game, they found this abandoned house, broke the glass window with a stone, and crawled inside, thus taking over the player's house.
Koby and Bellmare exchanged a glance. When they entered the player's house and found that the furniture and the marks they had left were exactly the same as they remembered, they couldn't help but feel a chill.
"Could it be that the so-called One Piece Online game is actually just us experiencing things from a different identity?"
The two looked at each other, and then, with great tacit understanding, tried to find the player's body.
But clearly, all of this was in vain.
However, there are ways to verify it.
Once night falls, one of them can enter the game while the other remains awake, thus proving whether everything is as they believe.
As they waited anxiously, the sun set and the moon rose, and darkness enveloped the Kingdom of Goa. The streetlights on both sides of the street flickered with a warm light, dispelling some of the darkness.
Kobi immediately lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Immediately afterwards, to Berumeber's horrified gaze, spatial ripples appeared in the room, and a player's body appeared before him.
The other party's image was clearly that of a Koby player, with almost no difference except that the player's IP address was not visible above their head.
"K...Kobby?"
Bellmare's trembling voice caught Koby's attention.
Koby first glanced at "himself" lying on the bed, then turned to look at Helmeppo, nodded, and said with a hint of excitement:
"it's me!"
"It seems we're one step closer to uncovering the secrets of One Piece Online!"
After receiving Koby's affirmative reply, Helmeppo patted his chest, looking still shaken, and said:
