Although the world conference has not yet officially begun, the covert competition has already started.

"Wow, this is so lively! I wonder if I'm qualified to attend this world conference?"

Just as the two sides were exchanging blows, a majestic figure suddenly rushed into the meeting room.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Footsteps echoed through the spacious conference room hall.

The people attending the meeting stared at the suddenly appearing person without making a sound, their faces solemn.

All eyes were drawn to the newcomer, whose imposing figure and imposing trench coat stood out.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the enormous black sword on his back, and the pair of eyes below his eyebrows that looked like those of a hawk.

"Hawkeye, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea under the rule of my World Government, you certainly have the right to participate in this World Conference."

Looking at the newcomer, the old man among the Five Elders, who was holding a treasured sword, spoke calmly.

However, his tone revealed little goodwill towards this unexpected newcomer.

Hawkeye wasn't annoyed by the Five Elders' attitude; he simply said softly, "That's good!"

He then sat down next to the Buddha Sengoku and the others.

Chapter 81 World Conference (Part 2)

With Hawkeye's arrival, the tense situation between Sengoku the Buddha, Garp, and the Five Elders finally broke down, and both sides fell silent.

"The Warring States period, you may begin," one of the Five Elders said calmly.

With the Five Elders leading the way, Sengoku the Buddha also stood up with a serious expression, his eyes sweeping across the entire conference hall with a solemn look.

"I'm sure everyone has some guesses about the content of this world conference!"

The Buddha Sengoku slowly spoke, saying, "Now that the Revolutionary Army has appeared, the kingdoms of the World Government are turning their backs on us. The Revolutionary Army is becoming stronger and stronger, and the World Government's rule is beginning to face increasing resistance from the people. Why is this?"

At this point, Sengoku the Buddha stared intently at the Five Elders in the very center and said, "This is because you people absolutely uphold the supreme power of the Celestial Dragons, causing widespread resentment among the people!"

"Given the current state of the World Government, if we don't take measures to restrict the Celestial Dragons' privileges, then the destruction of our World Government is only a matter of time!"

"presumptuous!"

As soon as the Buddha finished speaking of the Warring States period, the five elders on the high positions all shouted sternly and glared angrily.

When the others in the conference room heard Sengoku the Buddha's earth-shattering words—that he was going to violate the Celestial Dragons' taboo—they were all so shocked that their mouths were agape, their faces filled with disbelief.

Although they had heard some rumors about criticizing the Celestial Dragons, this wasn't the first or second time such an incident had occurred, and the World Government had always suppressed it quickly in the past, so they hadn't paid much attention to it.

But now that Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Buddha has also raised the banner against the Celestial Dragons' rights, they can't help but be surprised.

Has the conflict between the Navy and the World Government intensified again?

Does this mean the Navy already intends to oppose the Celestial Dragons?

……

The people in the conference room were all speculating about the various possibilities that might have occurred.

"Hmm? Has the World Government's conflict with the Celestial Dragons reached this point?"

Hawkeye, standing to the side, frowned and looked deep in thought.

Although the Five Elders had a premonition that Sengoku the Buddha and others would raise some opinions that were not conducive to the Celestial Dragons at this meeting, they did not expect that they would openly oppose the descendants of the King.

The Five Elders were also furious, and one of them angrily shouted, "Sengoku, stop talking nonsense! How dare you question the king's descendants!"

“That’s right. This world government was established by the Twelve Kings, and their descendants should naturally enjoy supreme rights.”

"As members of the World Government, we should protect the descendants of the King. How dare you openly oppose us! You are a traitor to our World Government!"

Another of the Five Elders stood up and angrily rebuked the Buddha Sengoku.

Seeing the Five Elders' utterly stubborn inflexibility, Buddha Sengoku felt a pang of unease.

Although he had anticipated that the Five Elders would object, he did not expect that simply proposing to slightly restrict the Celestial Dragons' rights would elicit such a strong reaction from them.

At this point, even the Buddha Sengoku was no longer confident about his plan, but now that he had already spoken, he had no choice but to stick to it.

Looking at the Five Elders, whose faces were contorted with rage, Sengoku the Buddha showed no fear and said slowly, "It is true that the descendants of the king enjoy privileges, but what have they been doing all these years? Enslaving the people and taking the lives of ordinary people for their own amusement."

"Now that the people can no longer bear such humiliation, they have risen up in rebellion, and thus the Revolutionary Army was born. Shouldn't our World Government do something about this? Should we just let the Celestial Dragons run rampant?"

As he spoke, he became increasingly agitated, and even the usually calm Buddha Sengoku's voice trembled slightly.

"Snapped!"

The Five Elders were also fed up with Sengoku's treasonous words. One of them slammed his fist on the conference table and shouted angrily, "Insolence! Those who rebel against the World Government are not worthy to be citizens of our World Government. They are just some trash in the World Government, and we can suppress them at will."

Another of the Five Elders glared angrily at Sengoku the Buddha and retorted, "Sengoku, as the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, instead of suppressing these government rebels, you're now opposing the descendants of the King. Do you really intend to betray our World Government today?"

"Why...why would Marshal Sengoku suddenly voice such strong opposition to the Five Elders?"

In the conference room, the King of the Drum Kingdom, witnessing the clash between the Buddha's Warring States and the Five Elders, muttered to himself in bewilderment.

"Heh... You're really out of touch. Haven't you heard of Caribbean Sea, the number one genius of the new generation of the Navy Headquarters?"

Hearing the mutterings of the King of the Drum Kingdom, the King of Goa Kingdom, standing nearby, couldn't help but speak up.

The King of the Drum Kingdom asked with some doubt, "I've heard of this genius from the Naval Headquarters, Caribbean Hai, but I wonder what his connection is to this meeting?"

In response to the question from the King of the Drum Kingdom, the King of the Goa Kingdom replied smugly, "A friend from the Navy Headquarters told me that it was only after Fleet Admiral Sengoku saw this 'Outline' written by Caribbean Sea that he suddenly decided to request the World Government to convene this meeting."

"Heh... betraying the World Government? I've spent my whole life working for the World Government, and today I'm fighting for its future."

"How pathetic that I've been called a traitor to the World Government by you, the highest authority in the World Government!"

Upon hearing the Five Elders' question, Sengoku the Buddha wore a bitter smile.

Young man, strive tirelessly for your dream of becoming a naval officer, fight against pirates, and eliminate traitors for the World Government.

After decades of fighting for the world government, he has been labeled a traitor.

How pathetic, how lamentable, how laughable!

Suddenly, Sengoku the Buddha's expression turned serious, and he said sternly, "Five Elders, didn't you say I was a traitor to the World Government? Well then, I'll show you how I can rebel today."

As he spoke, Sengoku the Buddha took off the navy cloak embroidered with the word "Justice" from his back and threw it hard on the ground.

"You...you actually dare to betray the World Government?"

One of the Five Elders who had previously questioned the Buddha Sengoku looked at the Buddha Sengoku with disbelief.

After a long while, he shouted at Kong and Garp, "Sengoku the Buddha is hereby dismissed from his post as Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, effective today! Kong, Garp, quickly arrest this rebellious Sengoku who doesn't know his own death!"

Although the Five Elders shouted out their words, Garp, the old man standing to the side, and his steel skeleton seemed not to hear them at all, and stood there motionless.

Watching Garp and Cyborg Kong's performance, the Five Elders' expressions were uncertain.

Facing the three strongest fighters in the Navy, the Five Elders, despite being the highest authority in the World Government, would face a formidable challenge if Sengoku the Buddha and the other two simultaneously broke away from the World Government.

The Navy Headquarters will be difficult to control for a long time, and the balance of power on the world continent will be completely disrupted.

In that case, without the navy as a guarantee to suppress powerful enemies abroad, the World Government's voice on the entire continent would be greatly limited.

Not only are pirates watching, but the Revolutionary Army is also eyeing the situation covetously. If such a thing were to happen, the World Government would suffer incalculable losses.

This was not something the Five Elders wanted to see, so they hesitated for a moment in the face of the attitude of the three, including the Buddha Sengoku.

"Steelbow Kong, Garp, are you also going to betray the World Government?"

All five elders stared intently at Cyborg Kong and Garp, their faces filled with seriousness.

"Hmph! You want to use the Warring States period as a starting point? Well, what if I rebel?"

Garp was very dismissive of the Five Elders' words, letting out a heavy snort.

Hearing Garp's resolute attitude, the Five Elders' expressions also turned somewhat grim.

Vice Admiral Garp, known as a naval hero, is a highly respected figure throughout the navy and even the entire continent.

If Garp were to leave the World Government, the World Government's prestige among the people would be greatly diminished.

Now that Garp has made such a firm statement, how can the Five Elders remain unmoved?

Although the Five Elders felt the pain of potential losses, given their long-standing high positions, such a compromise was absolutely out of the question for them.

"Steelbow - Sky, what about you?"

The Five Elders were now preparing for the worst, so their tone was somewhat subdued.

"me?"

Steel Bone Kong wasn't as agitated as Garp. He said calmly, "I just don't agree with your hasty conclusion that Sengoku the Buddha and Garp are traitors to the World Government."

"They are all veteran naval officers who have dedicated most of their lives to the World Government, and their loyalty to the World Government has stood the test of time."

"Their current opposition to the Celestial Dragons' authority is only for the sake of the world's people's support for the World Government's rule, and ultimately it is also for the World Government's sake."

Just as the Five Elders' expressions grew increasingly grim, Steel Bone Kong changed the subject again, saying, "Although what they did was indeed wrong, infringing on the rights of the Twelve Kings' descendants, their original intentions towards the World Government have not changed, so it is inappropriate to simply label them as traitors to the World Government."

Hearing Steelbone Kong admit that the Warring States of Buddha and his group had committed a crime against the descendants of the Twelve Kings, the Five Elders felt a little more at ease.

Otherwise, even at the cost of greatly weakening the World Government, they were determined to eliminate those who did not support the descendants of the Twelve Kings.

"Then how do you suggest dealing with the Buddha Sengoku?"

The old man among the Five Elders, who was holding a long sword, asked calmly.

As for Garp, he's basically an idle member of the Marine Headquarters, so whether he's punished or not won't make much difference.

Sengoku the Buddha is the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters. They wouldn't feel comfortable letting someone who doesn't support the descendants of the Twelve Kings sit in that position, so the Five Elders would definitely not let him stay in that position.

Chapter 82 Zhao Hai and Sicily in YY

Steel Bone Kong was aware of the Five Elders' bottom line, so he replied calmly, "Since Sengoku the Buddha does not support the rights of the Twelve Kings' descendants, then naturally we should strip him of all the rights of the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters."

"However, given Sengoku's immense contributions to the World Government, we should retain his title as Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters; otherwise, the Marines below will lose heart."

Upon hearing this, the Five Elders fell into deep thought, secretly weighing the gains and losses in their minds.
