One Piece: From the God Valley Era

Chapter 69 He is the real monster

The image of the Five Elders, Izambaron V. Nassurou, being kicked away in a disheveled state went viral around the world.

And Im's name also came into the public eye, with countless people wanting to know who Im was.

However, apart from the high-ranking officials of the World Government, very few people outside the world know about Im.

Even the Fleet Admiral was completely unaware of this matter, but...

"Brother Kong, this Im is the guy who possessed Satan last time, right? He's the one who turned Rocks' family into demons." Garp said while chewing on a hard senbei.

Although it was somewhat unclear, everyone in the room heard it clearly.

They've known each other for decades; they know what kind of nonsense Garp is about to spout the moment he sticks out his butt.

As expected, Garp brought up the story of God Valley and Im.

Sengoku, Tsuru, and Zefu didn't show any expression, but Sora's face had already turned rather ugly, and he shouted loudly.

"Karp, shut up, this is not something we can talk about!" Kong sternly rebuked.

The room was full of their own people, but there are also factions within the navy.

Where there are people, there will be conflict. Surely a navy that has been established for hundreds of years must be composed entirely of the same type of people?

Therefore, there is a Celestial Dragons faction within the Navy.

They are loyal to the Celestial Dragons and will not allow anyone to speak ill of them.

At one point, the navy was in such poor condition that it became extremely weak.

They all turned into a bunch of Marines who only knew how to fawn over the Celestial Dragons and did nothing of importance, causing resentment among the member states and ultimately leading to a major upheaval.

The World Government eventually intervened to end the unrest, and the Navy began to change.

This has led to the existence of numerous factions within the navy, preventing any single faction from becoming dominant.

Furthermore, there are now quite a few Navy personnel loyal to the Celestial Dragons, but they are not as extreme as before.

But if those people hear this, it could cause some trouble.

After all, Im's status is above that of the Five Elders!

He is the true master of the world government.

Of course, this is the Admiral's office, and everyone who can be here is a close confidant of Kong, so it's impossible for the information to leak out, but we must be careful to prevent eavesdroppers.

Furthermore, there are many people with special abilities in the navy, mainly to prevent them from using their abilities to eavesdrop.

Even Kong would have a hard time knowing the abilities of everyone within the Navy, since they would think for themselves and wouldn't necessarily reveal everything.

Upon hearing this, Garp laughed heartily: "Brother Kong, you're too cautious."

"We're not the only ones who know about Im now, so there's nothing to worry about. Even if the World Government wanted to cover it up, it would be too late."

"Unless they kill everyone who knows."

"The World Government isn't incapable of doing something like this!" Sengoku said in a deep voice, arms crossed.

He had seen some documents in the Navy's archives, including some of the things the World Government had done.

These documents were kept secret by the Navy from the World Government, and only the Fleet Admiral or his successor could access them.

Sengoku is the next Fleet Admiral, the perfect successor, so he saw these materials after receiving authorization from Kong.

It was truly shocking, and my heart was filled with anger.

But in the end, reason prevailed over anger, and he didn't do or say anything outrageous.

He knew very well that excessive anger would not help what had already happened, and that only by becoming a Fleet Admiral could he do something about it.

He also believes that even the worst order is still an order.

Although the World Government is inhumane, he knows that if the World Government falls, the world will become even more chaotic.

To put it bluntly, he doesn't know who the next ruler will be after the World Government is gone, but it might be even worse than the World Government.

He dared not gamble, so even after becoming a naval admiral, he would maintain the existing order.

As for what will happen to the world government order after him, he doesn't know, and he can't control it.

He will only manage what is within his term of office, nothing more.

Upon hearing this, Garp, Tsuru, Kong, and Zephyr all fell silent.

Although Garp, Zephyr, and Tsuru were unaware of those little-known events, judging from the things the World Government had done, they were capable of anything.

They actually dared to kill; after all, the World Government has never treated anyone else as a human being.

Even for these admirals and even the Fleet Admiral, the Celestial Dragons have never treated them as human beings.

Therefore, Garp and the others would not be surprised by anything they did, even if it involved the massacre of ten thousand or even hundreds of thousands of people.

Upon hearing this, Garp lost all interest in eating his senbei and cursed angrily.

"Damn Celestial Dragons!"

"It's useless to scold them; we should say less of these things in the future," Vice Admiral Tsuru said. "However, the World Government is unlikely to do that."

"This matter has already started to escalate, and it won't be long before it spreads throughout the world, unless they slaughter the entire world."

"Leaving aside whether they have the ability, even if they do, they might not be able to get past Acnoya."

"Now Acnoya has become a safety net. As long as Acnoya is still around, they won't cause any trouble and have become much more well-behaved than before."

"For the world today, having Acnoya is a good thing."

"I never imagined that world peace would depend on a mere pirate."

Lieutenant General Tsuru's words made Kong and Sengoku lose face.

As for Garp, he just smiled and didn't care at all.

He doesn't care about pirates or the navy; as long as the world is at peace, he doesn't care who rules the world.

"Shut up, Garp!" Sengoku's face darkened, and he said irritably.

"Tch." Garp curled his lip, continued eating his senbei, and said nothing more.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Kong said in a deep voice, "But Garp, according to the intelligence sent back by the World Government, Dragon is in Wano Country and has even joined the Dragon Ball Pirates."

"Are you aware of this?"

"Pfft, hahaha..." Garp was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You actually joined the Dragon Ball Pirates?"

"This seems like a good option."

"That kid Long didn't disappoint me!"

Sengoku and the others were starting to lose their composure, even though they knew Garp's personality.

"I told you to think before you speak," Steel Bone said, rubbing his forehead. "I really want to kick you out."

"Are you even still a navy person?"

"Why not?" Garp didn't care at all: "If it weren't for me, the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons might have been wiped out by now."

"I'm one of their heroes, they can't fire me, so I'll always be a navy officer unless I quit myself."

"As long as I don't die, I will keep doing this job, so I will always be a Marine, Air Force Brother."

"You..." Kong was speechless upon hearing this: "When did you become so eloquent, you bastard?"

"I've always been like this!" Garp said. "I just don't say it."

"But I really think the dragon's choice is a good one."

"Staying in the Navy is not as good as going to Acnoa's side. I even checked the information before. Acnoa is not the kind of person who would kill innocent people indiscriminately, and he is not tyrannical either."

"That's why I feel at ease letting Long follow him."

"Wait, what you're saying is that you knew all along that Dragon was with the Dragon Ball Pirates?" Sengoku noticed the key point.

"Yes, Dragon told me about it himself, and Acnoya also knows about it. I just didn't tell you!" Garp said nonchalantly.

"Damn it, why didn't you tell us?" Sengoku said angrily, grabbing his collar.

"This is a matter between father and son; you have no right to interfere, Sengoku!"

The person who said this was none other than the second admiral of the Navy, Zephyr!

"But Dragon is a Marine!" Sengoku shouted.

"Former Marine!" Garp shoved Sengoku's hand away. "He wasn't a Marine anymore when the God Valley Incident happened!"

"Dragon shouldn't have stayed in such a dark navy; his departure was the right thing to do!"

Upon hearing this, Garp paused for a moment, then slumped weakly onto the sofa.

He knew that Garp was right, and that Dragon's choice was not wrong either.

He knew who was at fault, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Everyone has the right to choose!" Zephyr said softly, "Even in the Navy, it's a profession, not a tool to imprison people!"

"Even though I love my profession in the Navy, it has to be this way."

Zefa's words may not be pleasant to hear, but they are true.

Everyone has a choice, and the navy isn't the only option.

"Alright, that's enough," Lieutenant General Tsuru sighed. "Now is not the time to talk about these things."

"We should discuss how to deal with the aftermath of this incident."

The Five Elders were kicked away, and the World Government lost all face.

Now that the World Government's reputation has been trampled underfoot, the seas will surely be in turmoil, and the number of pirates will increase dramatically.

A pirate era even more rampant than the Rocks Pirates may be about to begin.

Now they need to deal with this situation and prevent the times from becoming turbulent.

"Garp, shut up!" Kong said in a deep voice, "Let's get down to business."

"What did the Five Elders say?" Sengoku rubbed his temples. "Has any information come from above?"

"Did Nasujuro Sei return safely?"

"I don't know. I don't have their contact information, nor do I have any contact with the World Government. I'm also waiting for news from them," said Kongdao.

At a time like this, it's best not to provoke the Five Elders and Im, lest you get scolded.

If they receive an order, they simply execute it.

"I see..." Vice Admiral Tsuru said, "Then we should make preparations beforehand."

"However, just how strong is Acnoa?" Zephyr asked Garp.

Garp had contact with Acnoya in God Valley, and the dragon was also with Acnoya.

He had never been in contact with Acnoya, was unaware of his strength, and had not seen the live stream of him kicking the Five Elders; he had only seen the recording.

He didn't have a clear understanding of Acnoya's strength yet, but he knew that Acnoya was very strong, though he didn't know exactly how strong.

Some things you have to experience to understand them.

"Very strong!" Upon hearing this, Garp became serious. "His strength is above mine, but judging from the current situation, his strength has increased again. He is the real monster."

That's why he's so reckless.

Immediately, everyone present changed their expression.

It's unbelievable that Acnoya is still getting stronger.

Does this person have no upper limit?

Poruru...

Poruru...

Poruru...

Just then, Kong's Den Den Mushi rang.

"Hello, this is Kong!"

at the same time.

Acnoa did not choose to pursue Izabaron V. Nasujuro, but instead chose to take Vegapunk and the others away from there, heading straight to the Calm Belt and returning to the New World.

On one hand, Vegapunk's importance surpasses that of the Five Elders; on the other hand, he cannot continue to provoke the World Government.

This trip to Mary Geoise has already provoked the Five Elders and Im. If Izabaron V. Nasujuro were to be killed at this time, it might provoke a war between the World Government and him, which would be a loss.

So he chose to let Izambaron V. Nassjuro go for a while, and didn't dare to let the guy off the hook.

Izanbaron V. Nasujuro might be strong to others, but to Acnoya, he's just a nobody.

Whether or not Izambaron V. Nassjuro is killed makes no difference.

Furthermore, he now needs Izambaron V. Nassjuro to live and temporarily occupy the position of one of the Five Elders, because his intelligence is very clear and there is no need to continue the investigation. If a different Five Elder is selected, the investigation will need to be restarted, which would be more troublesome.

Add to that the Devil Fruit, and there's a possibility of things going wrong.

After all, some Devil Fruits are deadly on first encounter; if you don't know the information, you could really be killed by a trap.

In addition, Acnoya needs Izambaron V. Nasujuro alive to appease the World Government.

"Boss Acnoya, is it really okay not to kill the Five Elders?" Quinn asked, sitting on the World Government's ship.

In his mind, since the Five Elders had already been offended, he might as well just kill them and be done with it.

Furthermore, they offended the World Government, so they simply wiped out the World Government as well.

However, he doesn't think the current Dragon Ball Pirates can do it; the World Government is a behemoth.

It's good enough to deal with the Five Elders, but it's not so good against the World Government.

"No problem, I don't want to provoke them any further, let's leave it at that for now." Acnoya lay back in the chair: "When the time is right, I will naturally take care of them."

"Now you all better get to work properly. If you do a good job, you'll be rewarded!"

"Judge, do you really not want your throne anymore?"

"I can let you go back!"

"No, I don't care anymore!"

He had seen things clearly about the Five Elders.
