One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 677 The Helplessness of the Five Elders

"Are we sure we won't do anything?"

Nasujuro Sei tightly grasped the long sword in his hand and said to the others.

“Don’t fight. This is Marijoa. Have you ever thought about how many people will die if you fight here? Those lowly slaves can die, and they can escape. It doesn’t matter. But once the fight starts, if those pirates really fight to the death, can you guarantee that you can stop them when they kill our people? That master will wake up in less than 20 years. Do you want a lot of Celestial Dragons to die at this critical moment?”

Saint Maz stood in the middle of the hall and looked at Saint Nasujuro. Although he said it lightly, judging from the blue veins on his forehead and the twitching corners of his eyes, he was actually very angry. Even they, the Five Elders, could not kill other Celestial Dragons at will, unless that Celestial Dragon violated some taboos among the Celestial Dragons. Moreover, once a war started, it was very likely that it would be unstoppable and cause large-scale deaths.

"I have restrained the Knights of God and have not allowed them to move forward. The pirates were also quite sensible and did not attack any Celestial Dragons."

Saint Peter said.

"We can't just let this go. After they leave, we must take action! If we don't take action this time, the World Government will be completely disbanded!"

Saint Vorchuli slammed the table heavily. Since the establishment of the World Government, when have they ever been so frustrated? Since the incident in the Valley of the Gods, they have started to retreat again and again. The New World was taken away by pirates. They stayed in Marijoa and stopped playing bloody games for so many years. They could only wander around Paradise and Four Seas. Then, some countries withdrew from the membership, and some countries stopped handing over the Heavenly Gold. Now these pirates dared to run directly to Marijoa! If it hadn't happened suddenly, and if the fight in Marijoa hadn't happened, there would probably be only a few Celestial Dragons left, he would have rushed out long ago.

"That's right. We can't just let this go. We can't act too hastily. Since we're going to go to war, we have to be absolutely sure. We have to figure out what we want to achieve. It's impossible to wipe out all the pirates. We don't have the strength to completely wipe out these pirates yet, and our taxes don't allow us to do that."

Satan Saint sighed helplessly, now the Four Emperors are too deeply involved. If they were just simple pirates, they would be dead, or even left there. However, the Four Emperors are more of a huge force than pirates. As everyone knows, two huge forces can no longer destroy each other simply through war. They must strangle each other in terms of ideology, economy, military and so on.

Although the World Government has developed into a super behemoth over the years, it is too bloated, like an old giant, covered with pus, slow in movement, and needs medicine to stay alive at all times. Although its attacks are so powerful that no one can withstand them, it is difficult to hit the enemy.

The new world where the Four Emperors live is like a young man who has just reached adulthood. Although he is not as tall as the giants, and not as strong, he has a strong body and is very fast. Although the power of each attack is weak, the pustules on the giants' bodies form weaknesses, allowing the young man to continuously attack the giants, and the giants' counterattacks cannot hurt the young man. This is not the most uncomfortable thing. The most uncomfortable thing is that part of the giant's life is still held on by the young man. If it weren't for this young man, the giant would die faster.

"That's right. If a war breaks out outside, not all five of us can go. Two is the limit. Before that master wakes up, we absolutely cannot go out together, and we cannot use that secret technique, otherwise it will delay that master's awakening. We have to be clear about what is more important."

Maz Sheng said.

"I'll go, count the navy men, Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr. If we add one more person from the five of us, there will be five people, just enough to offset the number of high-level combat forces. Their strength is not yet our match. Suppress them and teach them a lesson so that they won't dare to act rashly again!"

Nasujuro Sei said as he flicked the First Generation Kitetsu in his hand with his left thumb.

"Okay, let me go with the other candidate. I haven't seen any activity for a while, so let me go and take a look. But I feel that if a war really breaks out, we can take the opportunity to do something else, such as capturing a guy hiding in the New World. His research is related to something very important. I'm worried about letting him stay in the New World all the time."

Saint Satan thought for a while and said, and the person he was referring to was undoubtedly Vegapunk. The matter of the Mother Fire was the thing they were most concerned about besides the awakening of that adult. After all, having a gun without bullets is not enough. Once Vegapunk's research on the Mother Fire is successful, they will be able to control the power again. By then, although the Four Emperors will be in trouble, at least they won't be as uncomfortable as they are now, right?

"That's right. Vegapunk must be brought back as soon as possible. Then CP0 won't have to participate in the subsequent battles. All of us should go out and detour to Egghead Island to bring Vegapunk back."

Saint Maz nodded and agreed with Saint Satan. Indeed, compared to the problems of the Four Emperors, they were more concerned about Vegapunk's research.

"I'm the same way—" "BOOM!"

Before Saint Wokuri could finish his words, a huge explosion was heard. The vibration under their feet made the Five Elders, who had been relatively calm, look up instantly.

"Guards! What happened?" Nasu Shoulang Shengtai shouted loudly towards the door.

"Report! There was an explosion in a palace in the distance. The location of the explosion is in front of the attack of the Four Emperors. We have sent people to investigate the moment the explosion occurred, but there is no news yet!"

A guard ran out from a small room and said.

"Check for me immediately! If any Celestial Dragons died in this explosion, you will all have to take the blame!"

The corner of Nasu Shourou's eye twitched. He was now very worried about the escalation of the war. After all, they did not take any action when facing the enemy who came to their doorstep. Wasn't it because they were worried that the Celestial Dragons would suffer large-scale casualties?
"Yes! We have sent out ten people to investigate! Ten minutes! Uh no! We will report the situation within five minutes!"

The guard said with sweat on his forehead. At this moment, he could only pray in his heart that nothing would happen, otherwise none of them, the guards, would survive. The Five Elder Stars had never taken back what they said. Even if they said something wrong, they, the guards, had to act according to what they said.

"Okay, I'll wait here for five minutes. No, I'll give you ten minutes. You must check it carefully!"

Nasujuro Sei's hand clenched the knife, as if he would draw it at the next moment. Even though he did not have the Domineering Haki, the unreserved murderous aura still made the guards feel that they were dying. The events of his life kept flashing before their eyes like a revolving lantern.

Time passed by minute by minute, three minutes, five minutes, seven minutes, nine minutes, and it was almost ten minutes. Nasu Shoulangsheng's murderous aura became more and more intense, and he was about to draw his sword.

"Blu blu blu."

The Den Den Mushi on the guard rang, and the guard grabbed the Den Den Mushi at a speed beyond his own ability and connected it instantly.

"Hello, this is the detection personnel. We have confirmed the situation at the scene. The explosion was caused by the confrontation between the navy and the Four Emperors, which accidentally ignited explosives in a palace. No casualties were caused. Over."

The personnel who were investigating ahead didn't waste any words and explained the situation directly. As the last sentence "no casualties" fell, Nasujuro Sei's murderous aura instantly disappeared, and he turned back into the house. The door was also closed instantly, leaving only the guard who collapsed on the ground, trembling and unable to utter a word, and was there congratulating himself for having survived the disaster.

"Let's move on to the next topic. How is the person with the ability from CP0? Can he meet our needs?"

"It should be fine. Although awakening is not possible yet, it can at least meet some of our needs. Some equipment that needs careful storage can be preserved."

"Very good, then let him go and complete our plan. Since the Four Emperors have launched a surprise attack on us, I will also launch a surprise attack on them."

"Second!" The conversation in the hall continued.
