One Piece: From the God Valley Era

World Government. Mary Geoise.

The Five Elders—no, the Four Elders—are having a meeting inside, but there are still five people here.

The fifth person was none other than Junzi.

Im possessed Junzi and they were having a meeting together.

Since the God Valley incident, Im has not chosen to fall asleep, but has remained awake.

As for the reason, it is naturally related to Acnoya and the Rocks Pirates.

Although the Rocks Pirates disbanded, their main members are still alive. He can't rest easy until these people are dead, and he can't even sleep well.

After all, he had also seen information about these people from the World Government, and they were all... potential powerhouses.

Im's definition of a strong person is not the same as that of the Five Elders, but rather someone who is comparable to Joy Boy and Davy Jones.

Especially Lox and Acnoya, they are the most likely.

Next are Whitebeard, Charlotte Linlin, and Golden Lion.

As for Kaido, Wang Zhi, and the others, he didn't take them seriously. They were not bad, but they were still far behind.

Charlotte Linlin, in particular, is a steel balloon with extraordinary talent. Even the World Government had a chance to obtain her, but an accident caused them to miss out on the opportunity.

This made Im quite upset when he found out.

If he had Charlotte Linlin, he could train her to become the most powerful warrior, unmatched even by giants, and perhaps even surpass Harald to become the strongest in the world, comparable to Joy Boy and Davy Jones.

But they've already missed their chance, and Charlotte Linlin's potential is essentially exhausted; she no longer needs much attention.

We need to pay more attention to the others, especially the Dragon Ball Pirates who have already conquered Wano Country.

They already knew that the Dragon Ball Pirates had conquered Wano Country.

Because they trade with Wano Country every year, trading seastone.

However, the trading period for this year has ended, and there has been no movement from Wano Country. Therefore, the Five Elders know that Wano Country has been taken over by Acnoya.

This is causing great distress to world governments.

They desperately need seastone, whether for building and reinforcing underwater prisons or for making handcuffs, shackles, and equipment.

The Seastone veins in Wano Country are the purest known veins. While other islands also have veins, their purity is extremely low and cannot compare to that of Wano Country.

Of course, there are also mineral veins with extremely high purity on the seabed, but they cannot go deep into them, even Im.

Unless... unless we take over Fishman Island and control the entire island so they can mine for minerals.

Im had done this before, but after something went wrong, he stopped doing it.

This time, he wasn't going to do it either.

Nothing more than fear of death!

Now that Wano Country has lost its Seastone, they need it, but they can't defeat Acnoya and have no way to deal with him.

However, if we were to trade Seastone with Acnoya, it would be like raising a tiger to threaten us, using their money to support the Dragon Ball Pirates.

Once the Dragon Ball Pirates gain momentum, the World Government will be in trouble.

The world governments are currently stuck in a rut, unable to find a solution from either side.

Of course, it's not that there's absolutely no way to solve it.

If Uranus could be used to attack Wano Country, there's a chance he could be severely injured, and then the Four Elders and the Knights of God could swarm in and perhaps kill him.

But now, the Heavenly King has stopped working due to a lack of energy, and all they can do is maintain it to prevent it from rusting.

Besides these, there are two other methods.

One option is to have Im go and Acnoya self-destruct.

But that's impossible. Im is terrified of death, how could he possibly self-destruct with Acnoa?

Another method is to create the energy that can activate the Heavenly King.

Surprisingly, they actually found such talent.

A research institute called MADS came into the view of the world government.

They are scientists from all over the world, controlled by one of the underground giants, Du Feld, and the researchers, mainly Vegapunk, Caesar Courland, Vinsmoke Judge, and Quinn, are wandering around the West Sea.

Vinsmoke Judge is a prince of the Germa Kingdom and a member of the World Government.

But Im didn't value him; he valued a man named Vegapunk.

A Paramecia-type Brain-Brain Fruit user.

As far as Im knows, the last person to eat the Brain-Brain Fruit was killed by the World Government because he refused to cooperate with them, leaving them no choice but to eliminate him.

After all, those who eat the Brain-Brain Fruit will develop their brains to the limit, making scientific research seem divinely aided, and the products they develop are even comparable to those from 800 years ago.

This terrified Im, which is why he made this choice.

Now, the scientist who ate the Brain-Brain Fruit has appeared before him, and he must seize this opportunity.

We must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So he has already sent someone to the West Sea to "invite" Vegapunk.

It's called an invitation, but in reality it's an invitation to a feast, a beheading, and taking someone in as a dog.

If they don't want to, then they'll just have to kill them.

Hopefully, Vegapunk will be more pragmatic, otherwise they might still be able to figure out the energy source to activate Uranus.

This will put Im's mind at ease.

In order to buy time, the Five Elders' meeting was about debating whether or not to make a deal with Acnoya.

In fact, there is no need to argue about this issue at all. Transactions are going to take place, but how to conduct the transactions needs to be discussed, and even who to send to conduct the transactions needs to be determined.

After all, high-purity seastone is only found in the country of Wano Country.

Hmph, Kozuki Sukiyaki is really useless; he couldn't even stop Acnoya.

In addition, having anticipated this outcome, the World Government has already dispatched agents to infiltrate Wano Country.

They wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Wano Country to plant their own people and gather intelligence.

Closer to home.

"We need Seastone," Satan said in a deep voice, looking at everyone. "So a trade is necessary unless we take over Wano Country, which is basically impossible."

"So we need to discuss the details of the transaction, the price, and the personnel involved."

"Lord Im, is there anything else you wish to say?"

All eyes turned to Junzi, who was possessed by Im.

Upon hearing this, Im said, "I think so too. Seastone is a necessity, and we need to keep him calm."

"And expedite the integration of MADS into the World Government and establish a Science Research Department."

"As for the person who contacts Acunoa, let Satan handle it."

"After all, you've known each other for a long time."

Satan was stunned for a moment, then his face turned green.

He would rather not go if he could.

Because they were afraid of dying.

But since Lord Im has spoken, he can't refuse.

We had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"Yes, Lord Im!"
