Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

History always repeats itself in surprising ways, yet it always surprises us.

There has never been anyone in history who survived eating two Devil Fruits, but in this era, two of them have appeared at once.

The five elders remained silent for a moment.

However, it would be understandable if these two Devil Fruits were the Nika Fruit and the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Saint Satan broke the silence, saying, "Straw Hat Luffy has become the fifth Emperor of the Sea in all his rightful place. Only the other four Emperors can stop his momentum."

Of the other four emperors, Shanks and Whitebeard's connection to the Straw Hats is obvious.

We can't expect them to fight, can we?

That could only happen when they're fighting for the last piece.

This is not what they want to see.

Maz Saint coldly interjected, "It seems that only Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, those two remnants of Rocks, are still usable."

Lox, yet another name they didn't want to mention.

The way they defeated the Rocks Pirates back then was partly due to luck.

"The trickiest one is always D."

"Gol D. Roger, Portgas D. Ace, Monkey D. Luffy, Marshall D. Teach... wherever these names go, they always stir up a storm that sweeps the world," said Sacred Vochuli.

By now, the name has become so well-known that many of the world's most famous people have the surname D.

And Nika really did appear.

Like that giant who guards the legendary Devil Fruit.

After he finished speaking, the five elders fell silent once again.

The situation is now truly getting tricky.

Even back then, when a guy whose traces had been erased from history made his debut and wiped out a naval admiral, they didn't find it troublesome.

"Lord Im has not yet given any new instructions," Saint Satan said in a low voice.

"In the battle of Impel Down, that lord personally intervened, but failed to capture the straw hat and Nika."

Nasujuro stroked the First Generation Kitetsu at his waist, "Although it severely injured Whitebeard, the result was not satisfactory. Whitebeard seems to have benefited from the misfortune and broken free from some of the control."

“Nika,”

Maz Saint chewed on the taboo name, "Eight hundred years have passed, and the liberating warriors are etched in that erased history. Is the prophecy really going to come true for this straw-hatted boy?"

"Prophecy is nothing but a consolation for the losers."

Sacred Vocuri said coldly:

“Power is everything. Whether he's Nika or Joy Boy, as long as we have enough power, we can crush him. The question is, does the Navy have that power right now? Or do we need to use something deeper?”

Fugitives in Impel Down Level 6.

The remnants of God Valley.

The restlessness of the D clan.

Clues to ancient weapons are frequently appearing.

The Revolutionary Army, and Nika, secretly possessing these Devil Fruits.

This era has become the most chaotic in eight hundred years!

"Should we use weapons?"

"The time is not right. Activating the national treasure will come at a price, and the mother flame is not yet stable."

Moreover, with the World Conference about to convene again, the World Government needs to maintain a semblance of stability.

At least until all the keys are obtained, the final card should not be revealed lightly.

Satan nodded and said:

"Then let the pirates kill each other. Tell CP0 to increase their covert intelligence support for Kaido and Big Mom, especially regarding the Straw Hat crew's whereabouts and the Poneglyphs."

At the same time, make contact with Blackbeard and offer him some assistance. Isn't he looking for Devil Fruit users? You could tell him about the hiding places of the other escaped prisoners in Impel Down, or perhaps a replica of a certain red Poneglyph.

To use someone else to do one's own dirty work, or to use one enemy to devour another.

This is one of the methods that world governments have been most adept at for the past eight hundred years.

"So, who will be the new Shichibukai?" Nasujuro asked.

“There’s one right here, called Whitebeard Jr.”

Satan Saint slowly said, "Edward Weevil. Claiming to be the son of Whitebeard, he possesses terrifying power and has been causing trouble for the Whitebeard Pirates in the New World."

His mother, Miss Bakkin, was a greedy and easily manipulated woman; giving him the position of a Shichibukai and sending him to cause trouble for the Whitebeard Pirates was the perfect solution.

"What about Bucky the Joker in the other seat?"

Sacred Vochuli pondered, "He gathered a lot of Impel Down prisoners during the Impel Down war, and he seems to have connections with Straw Hat and Red Hair. Giving him a title might attract some opportunists and chaotic forces, and could also slightly restrain Red Hair."

same.

Mary Geoise.

Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

Sengoku, as the Fleet Admiral, is here.

Footsteps sounded from behind him. Without turning around, Sengoku knew who it was.

“Commander-in-Chief Kong,” he said.

Former Fleet Admiral and current Commander-in-Chief of the World Government's Armed Forces, Kong, walked up to him and sat down.

"Although I tried my best to negotiate, Garp's dismissal was a foregone conclusion. However, he retained his rank and benefits and can remain in the Navy system to train the next generation. This is the best outcome."

Kong glanced at Sengoku and said, "As for you, if you insist on stepping down as Fleet Admiral, at least stay in the Navy like Garp and continue to contribute to justice."

The departure and succession of a naval admiral are both major events.

Sengoku claimed responsibility for the war, but his achievements after becoming the admiral of the navy are undeniable.

Even the Five Elders of the World Government didn't dismiss Sengoku immediately like Garp did.

The influence of the Warring States period is evident.

Zhan Guo smiled slightly, a smile tinged with bitterness, but mostly with a sense of relief.

"Yes, I can accept this ending. Having stood at the forefront of controversy for most of my life, it's not so bad if I can spend the rest of my life like this."

He thought, watching the young people grow up, cursing that old bastard Garp for failing to educate his grandson, and occasionally giving the new marshal some bad advice... that kind of life is not bad.

He sighed and said:

"The two men who have been pushed to the forefront of the Navy since Roger's time are now leaving this most intense battlefield. This in itself is news that is enough to shake the seas."

Moreover, Shiki isn't the only legendary pirate to have escaped Impel Down. We still don't fully understand how many monsters the darkness of Level 6 has unleashed. This era is becoming even more chaotic than the era that began after Roger's death.

Sengoku nodded and said, "The one who once stood at the top was Whitebeard Newgate. Now, although he has lost his Devil Fruit, he may be in even greater danger. And the new top..."

There was a newspaper on the table in front of him.

This is a major news story that has spread around the world in the past few days.

The protagonist is the fifth emperor of the sea.

Monkey D. Luffy.

"They are rising in ways we never anticipated. The navy can't always rely on us old guys to hold things up. Justice is a value that needs to be passed down, but it can't stop the changing of the generations. We have completed our mission for this era," Sengoku said.

Kong shook his head with a wry smile: "What you said sounds a bit harsh, Warring States period."

"Compared to this, Brother Kong,"

Sengoku's expression turned serious. "Regarding the selection of the next Fleet Admiral, I formally recommend Kuzan."

The smile on Kong's face faded, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Kuzan has enough strength, experience, and prestige. But after the Sengoku period and the Impel Down War, you noticed something was off about him, didn't you?"

Sengoku nodded: "I noticed, but I trust him."

Sora frowned, hesitated, and finally nodded. "I'll consider it. But you'd better speak to Aokiji yourself."

......

New Marine Vando.

In the general's office.

Aokiji was holding a newspaper, his tone clearly showing helplessness.

"They've caused another big commotion so quickly, they never seem to calm down."

The photo on the front page of the World Economic Herald was extremely impactful.

"Have you heard about the riots caused by the straw hats?"

Aokiji spread the newspaper on the table and looked up at the white-haired man on the opposite sofa who was puffing on a cigarette.

Smoker took the cigar out of his mouth, tapped the ash lightly on the edge of the ashtray, and nodded.

"Yes, it's already spread all over the world. Last night, Newsbird delivered the special edition to the headquarters port, and this morning, all the naval bases in the first half of the New World should have received the newspaper."

He exhaled a thick white smoke ring, which slowly rose into the office, blurring his expression.

"The fifth emperor of the sea, every move he makes attracts attention."

Aokiji scratched his fluffy black curly hair, a gesture that made him look more like a lazy office worker than one of the Navy Headquarters' top combatants.

too fast.

The thought popped into his head again.
