One Piece: The story was spoiled for Im Saint right from the start.

135. Sumer points out the direction of the country

dong dong €€€€

A series of footsteps approached.

In the office, Kugo, Sengoku, and the others all looked at Sumer and Shepard, who had come with them.

Apart from the Five Elders and Sakazuki, who had not yet met Sumer, everyone else present was quite surprised.

The Warring States period ended up with a dark expression.

Although he had never formally met Sumer, he had heard of the man's appearance and reputation.

Besides, they've already talked on the phone two or three times.

The fact that Shepard Piet Saint personally brought Sumer to such an important meeting speaks volumes.

It was clearly intended to involve the other party in the meeting.

"This is Saint Ergenman—Saint Sumer, who will be in charge of the execution of Straw Hat Luffy and Portgas D. Ace!"

"All departments of the World Government, including the Navy, must obey his orders, and when necessary, we Five Elders will also listen to his opinions."

Shepard Piet Saint made a startling remark right from the start, causing the entire office to fall into a pin drop.

Kugo, Sengoku, and the others all widened their pupils slightly.

Sakazuki frowned and looked Sumer up and down.

Borsalino and Kuzan, who had been quite lazy, straightened up with surprise.

"Looks like I don't need to introduce myself! The only one I haven't interacted with yet is you, Sakazuki!"

Sumer glanced at Kugo and Sengoku one by one, and finally fixed his gaze on Sakazuki.

Then, with a smile on his face, he sat down in the sixth green chair.

Because the other five chairs were occupied by Shepard, Piet Saint, and three others, while Sengoku and the others were only fit to sit on the sofa.

"This guy..."

Zhan Guo's heart sank; it seemed the information he had received was correct.

This Saint Germain—the Sumerian Saint—was of extraordinary status.

A while ago.

According to rumors in Mary Geoise, Saint Germain (Saint Sumer) held a position of power equal to that of the Five Elders, and was the sixth of the Five Elders.

They also shot and killed a brother and sister from the Roswald family.

Nothing happened afterwards!

"Lord Piet Saint, there's something I don't understand..."

After exchanging a glance with Sumer, Sakazuki's expressionless face was filled with confusion.

"Literally speaking, the Navy will publicly execute Straw Hat Luffy and Portgas D. Ace at the same time, eliminating the Revolutionary Army and the Four Emperors Whitebeard Pirates once and for all."

"During this period, I will be in charge of the overall situation, and everyone must obey my orders!"

Sumer sat on the green chair, legs crossed, in a very casual posture.

"Five Elders, this concerns the rule of the World Government, and the countless Navy personnel..."

Crane's expression was rather unpleasant.

This is utterly ridiculous.

With Commander-in-Chief Kugo and Fleet Admiral Sengoku in charge, there's no need for a Celestial Dragon who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, and is arrogant and domineering, to lead the overall situation.

Spread the word.

Wouldn't we be laughed at by the outside world?

Morale was affected even before the war began.

This is war, not child's play!

Kugo, Sengoku, Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan all had furrowed brows and stiff expressions.

Everyone knows what kind of people the Celestial Dragons are.

Isn't this just trying to destroy the navy?

"He, this is not a discussion, it's an order!"

Before He could finish speaking, Jaygolucia—Satan Saint interrupted him coldly.

After learning the full story of the Marineford War, the Five Elders became very dissatisfied with Sengoku and his companions.

They are all corrupt officials who hold their positions without doing their jobs and protect each other, making them even more despicable than pirates.

If it weren't for the fear of impacting the navy, the need to use a few more people in the future, and the fact that future events hadn't yet occurred, they would have wanted to dismiss those people completely.

“Mr. Satan, don’t be so cold-hearted. They are all important people and are used to being high and mighty.”

Suddenly expecting them to obey someone as insignificant as me will definitely raise questions!

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly drop to freezing point, Sumer quickly spoke up to ease the tension.

But the next second, he said lazily.

"Anyone who disagrees can go on strike right now, and I will immediately agree to let them retire and enjoy their old age."

Sumer looked at Kugo, Sengoku, Tsuru, Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan with a gentle expression.

As a result, all of them remained silent with cold faces.

“Sumer’s decision is the decision of the five of us. If any of you are unwilling to obey his orders, you may submit your resignation.”

"Retirement benefits will be calculated as usual!"

Marcas—Maz Saint opened his mouth to support Sumer.

Although the four saints—Jaygor Lucia, Satan Saint, Topman, Vochuli Saint, Izanbaron, V. Nasshoulang Saint, and Shepard, Pitt Saint—did not speak, their expressions said it all.

"My Lords, war is no child's play. The Sumerian Saints, after all, have little experience..."

Kugo hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Kugo, you're in the same boat. If you want to retire, you can bring it up now!"

Izanbaron V. Nassjuro Sei glanced at him coldly, and Kugo opened his mouth, a sense of horror rising in his heart.

Not right.

Something's completely wrong.

Something must have happened that he doesn't know about, otherwise the Five Elders wouldn't have acted so impulsively.

Is it because of Garp that the Five Elders became wary of them and no longer trusted them as much?

Did they think they were in cahoots with Garp and were keeping quiet about it?

Sengoku, Tsuru, Aokiji, Sakazuki, and Borsalino all considered this possibility.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain.

"Does nobody really want to retire?"

"I'm warning you upfront: if you don't express your opinions now, and then disobey my orders, you will be treated as a traitor and spy!"

"Think carefully, everyone!"

Seeing that the Warring States and others remained silent, Sumer casually offered a pre-emptive explanation, his tone devoid of seriousness, only gratingly playful.

At least that's how it was perceived by people like those in the Warring States period.

"Row!"

Seeing that the Warring States group remained silent, Sumer got straight to the point.

"The World Government has decided to eliminate both the Revolutionary Army and the Whitebeard Pirates once and for all."

"Don't worry, I won't interfere with how the Navy deploys its forces, so don't look like the World Government is doomed."

In this somewhat oppressive atmosphere, Sumer reassured Sengoku and the others.

really.

The tense emotions of the group relaxed slightly, and the hearts that had been in their throats were finally at ease.

"I will not interfere with the deployment of troops, but once I issue any orders, no matter how unbelievable or incomprehensible they may seem, you must obey them unconditionally like soldiers, and without asking why!"

"Now I'm giving my first order."

"Don't lock up Straw Hat Luffy and Fire Fist Ace in Impel Down, imprison them directly in Marineford!"

"The Navy will be conducting a global recruitment drive in one day. If two strong civilians named Yisheng and Huangmu are recruited, do not hesitate to promote them to admirals!"

"Alright, meeting adjourned!"

"You can go back and discuss how to deploy your troops! I will call you if there are any new instructions!"
