Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

The heavy, solid wood tables and chairs couldn't even hold up for a moment before being turned into flying wood chips by the force field. The long, straight hair behind her was also blown up by the force field, cascading and dancing in all directions.

Even their mere instinctive power was enough to slice through large swathes of flesh like divine weapons.

Crunch!

Crunch!

His jaw clenched so tightly that it made his teeth ache.

He lost control of the power in his hand, and the Den Den Mushi that was still beeping and had been connected was directly crushed into dust by the out-of-control force, turning into invisible particles that disappeared into the air.

Dead and nowhere to be found!

A raging force field soared into the sky, and there was even a faint, silent power extending outwards from his body.

Its terrifying presence meant that even if a royal-level expert were caught in it, their performance wouldn't be much better than a small boat in a storm; it was a walking natural disaster, a moving calamity!

"enough!"

It is in this twisted position that even powerful emperors cannot help but back down and be wary.

The blond Five Elders, however, seemed completely unaffected.

Calm and composed.

He just had a gloomy face and spoke in a low voice to him.

The sound was like thunder exploding in his ears, causing his blood and qi to surge.

Drink it on the head!

Use brute force to forcibly redirect attention.

"Feel sorry--"

"I lost my temper."

The long-haired Five Elders, having regained their senses, took a deep breath.

With his years of accumulated composure, he managed to suppress the turbulent emotions surging within him.

He forced himself to maintain his previous indifferent demeanor, as if he had returned to his former detached view of all living beings. However, the twitching of his fingertips revealed a hint of disharmony and betrayed his inner turmoil.

"what is going on?"

"what happens?"

The blond-haired Five Elders spoke in a low voice, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

Even with the unexpected events of the 'God Valley' incident, at most they suffered considerable losses and were somewhat passive and uncomfortable. However, with 'Heavenly Gold' and various means of plundering the world, resources have always been the least valuable thing to them. At worst, they can just increase the weight of Heavenly Gold for a while.

The losses of the army, navy, and air force are not taken seriously by them; they are at most just a bunch of tools.

If it dies, you can just revive it; it doesn't harm the core at all.

even!

Compared to the loss of resources from the sinking of God Valley, they cared more about their reputation!

The anger of being squeezed in front of a mere pirate, who dared to treat the Celestial Dragons as a weakness and kidnap them as hostages to threaten them, and the anger of having their face offended, were far more important to them than the mere loss of supplies.

For so many years! For so many years has no one dared to provoke them?

but……

Look at the appearance of his old friend in front of him.

seem!

That's far from all.

It's more like...

Has the bottom line been crossed?!

"What happened?"

The blond Five Elders frowned slightly, a hint of unease in their hearts.

"The Valley of the Gods!"

"We've run into trouble with the secret base we're using to hide in 'Heavenly Paradise'!"

"Kalka, along with that entire Prism Labyrinth, was completely shattered, including... the spacetime tower where the projection was built, and most importantly, the Devil Fruit Tree, too..."

The five old men with long, straight hair had faces as calm as still water.

Realizing how out of control he had just been, his eyes were filled with regret.

"The Devil Fruit Tree?"

"Is this the 'projection' we built based on 'that place'?"

"What could go wrong?"

"God Valley was already sunk by those arrogant pirates, so losing a few more Devil Fruits doesn't matter. They'll just be swept away by ocean currents. Anyway, a batch of high-ranking Devil Fruits was just harvested, so they're all just ordinary ones..."

The five Black Hat Elders raised their eyes.

He waved his hand dismissively, the disappearance of a few, a dozen or so Devil Fruits was just a casual remark to him, not caring at all, as if they were just ordinary fruits.

And indeed, they have the confidence to back up their position. Unless it's a rare and precious Devil Fruit, other Devil Fruits are nothing special in their eyes. Even the Celestial Dragons can treat them as fruit as a reward, let alone those who occupy the top of the world's power.

It's not a big deal at all!

Ran goose ...

this time!!

"What could go wrong?"

The long-haired Five Elders' chilling voice rang out, carrying an icy edge.

"The Devil Fruit Tree!"

"That existence! It has been completely destroyed!"

"All power is depleted! Not only have the fruits it produced vanished, but even the power accumulated on top has been completely reduced to zero. Everything must start from scratch—"

"At least!"

"For the foreseeable future, it will be impossible for the Time Tower to accumulate enough energy for the reflection, summoning, and fruits to arrive!"

In other words, the supply of Devil Fruits has been cut off!

The long-haired Five Elders spoke with suppressed anger, and even the Five Elders in kimonos, who were furthest away, could sense the immense indignation brewing within this humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The cold voice pierced the heart; it was an extremely offensive remark, yet no one paid attention to such a detail.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!!

"what?"

"how come?"

"How can this be!"

"..."

The voice of the Five Elders with long, straight hair fell like a deep-sea bomb dropped into a calm sea.

The Five Elders, who wield the highest power in the world and are usually indifferent and aloof, even to the point of using others as pawns, all changed color at this moment.

Their shocked and horrified expressions were no different from those of the 'mere navy' on the high seas.

Outrageous!

A complete and utter loss of composure!

-

a long time!

I was so shocked that I lost my composure for a long time!

The Five Elders, as expected of the Five Elders, who hold the pinnacle of power in the world, eventually recovered from their shock.

They forced themselves to remain calm.

What's done is done; now all that's left to do is make amends!

and also……

The loss has been confirmed!

"That matter..."

The blond Five Elders, with their fingers interlaced, leaned forward from the sofa.

It carried a strong sense of oppression.

The words are not finished yet.

Then the five elders in black hats, who were sitting to the side with their heads down, took over the conversation.

"give it to me!"

"Let me go and take a look..."
