Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 320 A fragile balance

The agent walked out on his own initiative after dialing the number for Lu Chen.

Lu Chen thought about it and decided to have a chat with the Five Elders to see what this group of people at the pinnacle of power wanted to say.

An expression began to appear in the Den Den Mushi, and it took on a serious look.

"Are you clear about what we mean?"

Lu Chen pulled out a chair and casually sat on it before answering, "I know a little bit, but I don't trust you. You know, your reputation is not good."

As Lu Chen finished speaking, there seemed to be some dispute on the other side.

After a while, Den Den Mushi continued to answer:

"The promise of our Five Elders will not be broken. You can trust our words."

It was obvious that they were very dissatisfied with Lu Chen's doubtful attitude. They had always been the ones who questioned others, but today they were being questioned by others.

However, Lu Chen did not believe their promises. If a verbal promise could make others believe it, then Lu Chen could just paint a lot of rosy pictures for others.

So he answered the question with a tone full of distrust:
"How many nobles from small countries have attempted to become Celestial Dragons and have been deceived by you, so you must give me some proof."

Although he answered like this, Lu Chen actually didn't believe them. Even if they really gave him some assurances, he wouldn't be able to tell whether they were true or not.

These people are definitely planning to plot against the ancient weapon Pluto. So no matter what they say, you can treat it as deceiving yourself.

"What proof do you need?"

In fact, the Five Elders could not provide any suitable proof. They could go back on their word, and they did not dare to tell Lu Chen about the lost history of the past hundred years. It would be bad if he leaked this information everywhere.

So the two sides carried on this meaningless conversation for a long time, and finally the Five Elders lost their patience.

A low and cold voice came from the Den Den Mushi. It seemed that the Five Elders had lost interest in talking to Lu Chen any further.
"That's enough. You won't believe anything we say, and the fact that you're saying this means you won't keep the promises you make later."

Since the negotiations have broken down, let's use our fists to speak. I am not afraid of the navy's encirclement now.

"Since you think I won't keep my promise, then why waste your breath here? Just send the navy or something else."

One of the Five Elders has already suffered serious damage, and the remaining four will not go out until they find a way to offset the effect.

The tone in Den Den Mushi softened. Indeed, if a conflict broke out between the two sides, it would only make the already unstable situation even more chaotic.

"We come with good intentions. Since neither of us can convince the other side to believe us, let's not talk about this anymore. We can tacitly allow you to obtain the New World. You need to remove the power imposed on Saint Satan. After that, we will no longer send the navy to actively attack you."

After hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh:

"Hahaha, as if you have sufficient control over the New World, the ocean here is a place that the World Government cannot completely control. There will always be countless people rushing to the sea. You can't stop them at all."

"The ocean isn't as vast as you think, so let's each take a step back."

Lu Chen pretended to be heroic and said, "If you stop provoking me, I can stop attacking the navy. I prefer to ride freely on the sea rather than sitting in your place. So don't try to control me."

The four Five Elders in the Holy Land began a discussion. Nasu Juro, a fighter, said with a sinister look, "We can't trust the pirates' promises. Lu Chen might be plotting something. He could become the next Rocks."

Another of the Five Elder Stars, the Environmental Martial God, Mas Saint, disagreed. "He probably doesn't have that kind of ambition. He's a pirate like Whitebeard. If he were someone like Rocks or Shiki, he'd definitely recruit a lot of people. He's been living peacefully on Beehive Island for a long time."

Although Lu Chen has done many things, these do not touch Yim's bottom line.

"He found Pluto during this time!"

"Perhaps he has already found it. And what size fleet should we send to deal with him? What about the rest of the world?"

A large fleet was completely useless against Pluto, and sending only one admiral was no match for Lu Chen. As for taking action personally, it was even more impossible.

The other Five Elders fell silent.

Massen continued, "Now we must pay attention to Kapp's son. He has created an organization called the Self-Defense Forces. He has already overthrown several countries in the North Sea. He is the one who is promoting theories that will completely destroy us."

"A member of the D clan? This bloodline is really a headache. Send out agents to capture him. There's no need to give Garp face; he's performed poorly in recent operations."

"The companions he summoned were very strong. The CP0 who was sent to carry out this order failed. They then disappeared from our sight."

Mas Saint had already sent agents to capture Long, but they failed.

Dragon, who used to be a navy, knows a lot of information about the World Government, so CP0 agents have no way of tracking him down.

"The ocean is far from stable, and all the Shichibukai have failed. Should we abolish this system?"

"Keep it up. There will always be pirates willing to serve us."

The four of them were silent for a while. In the face of other troubles, the Five Elders finally made a decision:

"Let's send out agents to keep an eye on Lu Chen first. How long can he live? Pluto will fall into our hands in a hundred years."

For the five elder stars who are almost immortal, time is on their side, so they plan to deal with Lu Chen in a different way.

"What should we do about Saint Satan's injuries?"

"Not very optimistic. Although our self-healing ability and the injuries inflicted by Lu Chen are canceling each other out, continuing like this will put a huge strain on our spirits."

The constant loss of the body would certainly wear down the spirit, and even those who had lived for a long time could not maintain their human-animal form to resist damage.

"Send the agents to find the Operation Fruit, and send someone else to bring the doctor from Drum Island."

Even the Five Elders had heard of the witch of Drum Island, the land of doctors. Perhaps this person could solve the problem of Saint Satan's continuous collapse.

"Hopefully, this issue can be resolved soon."

The sea fell into a fragile balance again, and everything calmed down temporarily.
