Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 392 The Five Elders: Let Nicole Robin prove that the history of Alabasta is fake!

Judicial Island.

This is a territory directly under the World Government.

Since the Holy Land Mary Geoise is still under reconstruction, the World Government's offices have all been moved to Enies Lobby, which is closer to Marineford, making it easier for both sides to provide immediate support should either side be attacked.

after all…

The Konoha Pirates' idea was too bizarre.

No one can be sure that the Konoha Pirates might suddenly reappear and launch another surprise attack on Enies Lobby or Marineford. Those pirates are capable of doing such a thing…

The Five Elders personally oversee the situation on Judiciary Island.

have to say.

The Five Elders are quite intimidating.

At least the various departments and agencies of the world government were quickly rebuilt, and they even received a series of good news, such as Crocodile, the historical scapegoat they had chosen, being sent to Impel Down.

but…

The results were not very good.

World Government officials and the Navy are not very convinced that Crocodile fabricated history, let alone the people of those countries who want to rebel against the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

This is also a problem that has been troubling the Five Elders.

"Bad money drives out good money..."

"Everyone is believing a false history..."

"The World Government's explanations don't seem to have any effect, and we can't possibly present the true history. Even people within the World Government are starting to have doubts..."

"Spandam, the head of Enies Lobby, has proposed a plan..."

One of the Five Elders, gripping his cane, spoke in a deep voice: "Send CP9 to capture Nico Robin, and have her, the only one in the world who still understands ancient writing, personally declare that the news circulating in the Alabasta Golden Palace is false..."

"This is ridiculous!"

Another old man frowned.

In the past, the World Government strictly prohibited anyone from studying ancient scripts, even destroying Ohara, the land of omniscience, and killing a large number of scholars who understood ancient scripts...

did not expect…

They actually need the help of an Ohara remnant?

"I was just using her..."

The old man, gripping his cane, frowned but continued nonchalantly, "Now we must use any means necessary to restore the World Government's reputation and our authority..."

"Besides that..."

"Perhaps we can even get information about Hades' whereabouts from her."

As the old man mentioned this, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes: "Once Akainu escorts Crocodile back, we can combine the information from Nico Robin and Crocodile, and maybe we can find Pluton. With Pluton, we can deal with those pirates..."

Hades.

Legendary ancient weapons!

Now they can only pin their hopes on ancient weapons!

After all, even Lord Im believed that the Konoha Pirates were extremely dangerous, and only the Ancient Weapons could be absolutely certain of eliminating them. These old guys could only obey Im's orders...

Once the topic of Hades came up, the five elders present all fell silent. They all knew that this idea was the most correct one, and that only by finding the ancient weapon Hades could they regain the power to suppress the entire world.

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

The other four elders of the Five Elders also voted in favor.

Now, the only question is, where is Nico Robin, this remnant of Ohara? When will CP9 be able to bring Nico Robin back to Enies Lobby?

The Five Elders soon received the detailed information as well.

Nico Robin joined the Straw Hat Pirates, whose captain is Monkey D. Luffy, a user of the Gum-Gum Fruit.

but…

The Five Elders are not ignorant people who are unaware of the truth.

They knew the true name of the Gum-Gum Fruit very well: Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nikka Mode, the ability of the former Liberation Warrior Joy Boy!

To conceal Joy Boy's existence, the World Government changed the name of the Nika Fruit to the Gum-Gum Fruit, hoping that no one would ever remember the phrase "Liberation" again...

but…

Everything seemed like destiny…

Nico Robin, the only remaining member of Ohara who understands ancient writing, has somehow become entangled with Straw Hat Luffy, a pirate with a destiny!

This is a huge problem!

"We must deal with them immediately..."

The Five Elders took a deep breath, realizing the severity of the problem: "The Konoha Pirates are already a huge problem, and now a new Joy Boy has appeared..."

World Government…

A truly devastating crisis is on the horizon!

However, before they could even think about dealing with the Straw Hat Pirates' troubles, Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Marine Chief of Staff, arrived at Enies Lobby to report on a series of troublesome news.

"The first thing is that Doflamingo wants to become a Celestial Dragon again, to have the Celestial Dragon chip reinstalled, before he'll be willing to continue fulfilling his responsibilities as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Doflamingo proposed that he could leave Mary Geoise, only requesting the privilege of being protected by the Navy..."

"That ambitious kid, huh?"

"Homing, the son of Don Quixote..."

"When his family gave up their Celestial Dragon status, they had no chance left. Did he really think that an ordinary person could become a Celestial Dragon just by wanting to?"

"But his identity is also very important..."

An old man, feeling compelled to remind the others present, spoke in a deep voice about Doflamingo's situation: "Doflamingo is also our intermediary in the transactions with Kaido, one of the Four Emperors. Only through his channels can the World Government obtain a sufficient quantity of Seastone..."

"We won't implant the Celestial Dragon's identity chip into him, lest he discover any secrets..."

Another old man offered his opinion in favor, nonchalant about the small matter: "He can have all the privileges that the other Celestial Dragons enjoy in the world. The power of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is also something the World Government can utilize. It's perfectly reasonable to grant him a small request..."

"Fine."

"Anyway, no one will be leaving the holy site for a while..."

The other elders of the Five Elders echoed this sentiment, and the Celestial Dragons dared not leave the Holy Land rashly until the threat of the Konoha Pirates was eliminated…

"Is there anything else, Sengoku?"

After the Five Elders finished discussing the matter, they looked at Sengoku the Buddha and said, "Is it really worth you coming all this way in person for such a trivial matter?"

"There's another troublesome matter..."

Sengoku took a deep breath and continued in a low voice, "Doflamingo reported another matter: the Konoha Pirates left dozens of World Nobles, including Figarand Greene, on Island 1 of the Sabaody Archipelago, and are auctioning them off using Doflamingo's slave auction house..."

"What?!"

"A bunch of pirates dare to..."

"How dare they do this!"

The Five Elders' expressions suddenly turned ugly!

How dare those lowly pirates auction off noble Celestial Dragons as slaves!

Those pirates could have used the Celestial Dragons as bargaining chips to negotiate with the World Government for things that ordinary people couldn't obtain. Why did they auction off the Celestial Dragons as slaves? Didn't they know that doing so would lead to a life-or-death struggle between the two sides?

but…

It seems they were already sworn enemies...

The Konoha Pirates breached the Holy Land and killed so many Celestial Dragons. The Celestial Dragons, from top to bottom, considered it a great disgrace and wished they could grind those pirates to dust...

"..."

The five elders' eyes twitched, and everyone felt a bit of a headache.

If any other pirate crew dared to do this, the Five Elders would definitely try every means to wipe them out, even the Four Emperors' pirate crews would be no exception...

The problem is...

The Konoha Pirates are a bit too strong.

However, as the Five Elders, they couldn't just sit idly by. They couldn't simply ignore the Konoha Pirates auctioning off Celestial Dragons, could they? That would ruin the Celestial Dragons' reputation and make it impossible for them to maintain their authority!

and…

We must find a way to save them...

One of the old men sighed and had no choice but to give the order: "Immediately dispatch warships to monitor the Sabaody Archipelago. Do everything you can to rescue the World Nobles who have been kidnapped by the pirates. Even if it means deploying all the admirals, we will do it. If necessary, we will also join the effort..."

"We still need to make a thorough plan..."

Another old man offered his idea: "We should also send people to infiltrate the Sabaody Archipelago. Then, we can work together from the inside to rescue Grimm, whose combat abilities will come in handy. We must stop this auction..."

"When necessary..."

"Go and call Redhead..."

"After all, that person is powerful and should be able to put his strength to use. If Figarand Greenemon were to be auctioned off, he would lose all face..."

The Five Elders know most of the secrets of this sea. They know Shanks' true background and his attitude.

Nothing more than…

It's all about maintaining balance.

It's too early to guess Shanks' true thoughts, but there's no doubt that he's unlikely to ignore the Celestial Dragons' slave auction.

"but…"

"There's one more thing..."

Sengoku hesitated, narrowing his eyes slightly, before recounting the information Sasori had given him: "Boltelino recently destroyed a powerful pirate crew. That powerful crew wanted to return from the latter half of the New World to the former Paradise. Their purpose in returning was to participate in a hunting game where the Celestial Dragons were the prey..."

This is definitely a lie.

Sengoku was not afraid that his lies would be exposed by the Five Elders, because Kizaru was his accomplice and had indeed destroyed a powerful pirate crew.

just…

The source of the information came from the destroyed pirate crew.

"The timing is still unclear; it probably hasn't started yet..."

Sengoku shook his head, adjusted his glasses, and continued his report in a deep voice: "This hunting game, which targets Celestial Dragons, is aimed at pirates. Participation requires a certain status and strength. The location has been identified: the sky island above Jaya Island..."

"It is said..."

"The Konoha Pirates are planning to use this hunting game to find allies, perhaps also to build their own powerful force..."

When we get to this point...

Even the Warring States period himself had to believe it all.

After reporting to the Five Elders, Sengoku planned to return and call the Konoha Pirates, suggesting they use their ideas to gather the powerful pirates of the New World together through this hunting game, and then pit those pirates against the Four Emperors' pirate crews...

"!!!"

The Five Elders' faces were filled with shock, as if the sky had fallen and the earth had cracked!

This kind of thing...

The Konoha Pirates had mentioned this during their phone conversation when they conquered Mary Geoise; they suspected the other side might do this…

but…

The Konoha Pirates actually did it...

They even used the Celestial Dragons as prey to lure powerful pirates into participating, hoping to find their allies through this hunting game…

Do not…

Maybe it's not about finding allies...

Instead, he will form a massive fleet, just like the other four emperors!

The Five Elders were well aware that any pirate crew that dared to participate in this hunting game must be strong, and must have already made plans to fight the World Government to the death!

Without a doubt...

They must stop this from happening!

"Find out the time of that hunting game immediately!"

An old man glared angrily at Sengoku and said in a deep voice, "We must stop them, stop this hunting game, and rescue those world nobles!"

"The Konoha Pirates are already far too powerful. If they gain a large number of vassal pirate crews, it will shake the entire world!"

"I've already had the Navy monitor the pirates' movements throughout the country, asking if any pirates have made any unusual moves. If any pirates from the latter half of the Grand Line return, it's almost certain they're involved. Doflamingo might know something..."

As Sengoku finished speaking, a glint flashed behind his glasses: "According to the Navy's report, the Shichibukai Doflamingo is traveling from Dressrosa in the latter half of the Grand Line to Mock Town on Jaya Island in the former half..."

"I suspect that Doflamingo is likely one of the pirates participating in the hunting game, but Doflamingo's identity is extraordinary; he is a Celestial Dragon, and it's not convenient for me to alert him by questioning him about this..."

boom!

An old man angrily smashed the table in front of him, and a black aura involuntarily emanated from his body, making his aura appear particularly eerie and sinister!

Is there any doubt about that?

That abandoned child they despised is now making a ruckus and trying to wreak havoc on the world…

They definitely want to participate in the hunting game and kill their own Celestial Dragon kin!

"That bastard..."

"They're playing a trick on us!"

"That bastard is demanding the restoration of the Celestial Dragons' privileges while trying to play both sides with the Konoha Pirates. Does he think the Konoha Pirates are Kaido of the Beasts? Does he think we'll tolerate his collusion with the Konoha Pirates?"

They were already lenient enough towards that discarded pawn!

Whether it's robbing heavenly gold or illegally seizing member states of the World Government, anyone in that situation would have had their head ripped off long ago!

The World Government and the Navy only turn a blind eye to these things because that scapegoat was once a Celestial Dragon and still has some use!

did not expect…

Doflamingo is secretly colluding with the Konoha Pirates, and even wants to participate in the Konoha Pirates' hunting game, which is a hunting game where his own clansmen are the prey!

That bastard Doflamingo, while abusing the privileges of the Celestial Dragons, is also colluding with the Konoha Pirates to slaughter the Celestial Dragons.

That bastard... how dare he!

"Does Doflamingo think we're blind?"

The five old men's eyes simultaneously revealed hatred and anger. Many of their kin had been captured and must have become prey for the hunting game. How could Doflamingo dare to participate in such a hunting game!

"Let's contact Doflamingo first..."

An old man's heart trembled with rage, his hands gripping his long sword tightly: "Find out the date of that hunting game from him, make him an inside man for that game, and have him cooperate with your navy to rescue all the world nobles in distress. Not a single world noble must perish..."

"Can."

The Warring States period greatly approved of their plan.

"But we can't give up punishing him!"

The old man gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and coldly commanded, "After all, Doflamingo wanted to betray his own kind. He and his father, Donquixote Homing, are exactly the same—completely unlike the Celestial Dragons!"

"If a World Noble dies in the Skypiea hunting game, the World Government will immediately strip Doflamingo of all his powers, remove him from his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and banish him to the lowest level of Impel Down!"

"Besides that..."

"Sengoku, you should also keep a close eye on the movements of all the pirates entrenched in the New World!"

"The Navy must prevent any pirate crew returning from the New World to the first half of the world from joining the Konoha Pirates. We will not allow that most evil pirate crew in history to become stronger!"

"Both the hunting games and the slave auctions must be stopped! No Celestial Dragons shall be allowed to continue to suffer! The dignity of the World Government and the World Nobles cannot be desecrated!"

"I will take care of it."

Sengoku nodded, seemingly agreeing with a reluctant expression.

"rest assured."

The Five Elders had great faith in Sengoku's abilities and offered, "You can utilize any of the World Government's military forces and intelligence. It wouldn't hurt to involve the three Admirals as well..."

"Borsalino's abilities are sufficient..."

Sengoku suggested a candidate, explaining, "Back in Alabasta, Borsalino's abilities could have kept them in check..."

After saying all that, Sengoku revealed another piece of information: "A Marine Headquarters lieutenant I promoted has strong combat command abilities and recently acquired the Rumble-Rumble Fruit power. I plan to send him to Jaya Island for reconnaissance first, so that he can escape in advance if danger is encountered, just like Borsalino..."

"Oh?"

The Five Elders' eyes suddenly lit up.

Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability?

This is an ability no less than that of the three generals of the headquarters!

Even though everyone knows that the three admirals of the Marine Headquarters are strong because they are strong in themselves, their powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit abilities have made them even stronger. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability is even comparable to Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit ability!

The attack power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit...

It's even better than the Glint-Glint Fruit!

"There are indeed plenty of talented people around the world, and the World Government is also preparing for a massive naval recruitment drive..."

The Five Elders were very pleased to hear this news and sighed softly, "The strong individuals who emerge in this great recruitment will be promoted regardless of their past or seniority. Hopefully, some truly powerful individuals will emerge to completely wipe out the pirates on the high seas..."

"..."

Sengoku could only nod slowly.

"Sengoku, you are an excellent and qualified naval admiral."

At this moment, the Five Elders lavishly praised the person they had chosen: "We know about today's events. Report back if any problems arise. As long as we can rescue those world nobles who were stranded during the fall of Mary Geoise, we will provide any assistance you need..."

"Um…"

The Warring States period only verbally agreed, but in his heart he didn't believe it at all.

help?

How can it help?

If the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons were capable of eliminating the Konoha Pirates, would they still allow them to roam freely on the seas?

What else can I do besides continue colluding with the Konoha Pirates?

If the Skypiea Celestial Dragon Hunting Game is really held, even I, as the Fleet Admiral, will have to participate in the Skypiea Hunting Game!

Those lunatics from the Konoha Pirates have said that all their allies must be tainted with the wicked blood of the Celestial Dragons. So, as the Fleet Admiral, I'll have to use the pretext of saving the Celestial Dragons to take Aokiji and Kizaru to participate in the Skypiea hunting game…

"Let's call Doflamingo first."

One of the Five Elders, an old man with a white beard, took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed Doflamingo's number, intending to get information about the Hunting Game from him first.

Half a minute later.

Doflamingo finally answered the phone.

The sound of wind came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi; it seemed that Doflamingo was traveling at a rapid pace.

"Fufufufufu..."

"The Five Elders...don't you all hate me, this discarded pawn?"

"So, one day they'll actually call me? Is it because they need Celestial Dragons?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

The Five Elders, not wanting to waste time talking to a nobody like Doflamingo, asked directly, "Doflamingo, you're on your way to Jaya Island, right?"

"Fufufufu... You even know such trivial things?"

Doflamingo's laughter on the Den Den Mushi suddenly turned sinister: "Looks like you've planted quite a few spies around me..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The five elders exchanged glances, basically confirming their thoughts.

One of the elderly men, who had a rather volatile temper, angrily questioned, "Doflamingo, I am now summoning you in the name of the World Government to inform the Navy of all the information regarding the Hunting Game, and to cooperate with the Fleet Admiral in rescuing the World Nobles in distress during the Hunting Game..."

No matter how strong Doflamingo is, he can't escape their control...

He's just a nobody. The fact that the Five Elders were willing to make a phone call to him specifically to inquire about relevant information is already a great favor to Doflamingo!

"Fufufufufu..."

Doflamingo could sense the Five Elders' impatience, and his laughter suddenly lowered: "Fufufufu... What hunting game?"

After saying that, Doflamingo seemed to recall some rumors about the Celestial Dragons, and his voice became somewhat sarcastic: "A hunting game similar to the Valley of the Gods in the West Blue? I don't recall ever hearing about that..."

Drawing lots…

There was no civil war...
