The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 518 The "World's Pinnacle" That Shouldn't Have Existed

Red Line, Mary Geoise, World Conference Hall!

Inside the solemn and vast conference hall, kings from all over the world were seated.

East China Sea, South China Sea, West China Sea, North China Sea, Paradise, New World...

Fifty kings of various countries sat atop fifty thrones.

Although there are approximately 170 member states worldwide, only a country with a certain level of strength and size can be qualified to sit here as a king.

The World Conference also adopts a rotating chairmanship system, and the chairman of this conference is King Hamburg of the Kingdom of Balleywood.

"Let's have an in-depth discussion about this wonderful world this time!!!"

"Your Majesties!!!"

King Hamburg spoke first, and the World Conference quickly moved into the discussion process.

These kingdoms may seem to have a weak presence and relatively low strength, but once they truly form an alliance, their immense power should not be underestimated.

After all, many top kingdoms have a number of hidden powerhouses, and some smaller kingdoms also have Devil Fruit users to varying degrees.

It is foreseeable that this force will be powerful, though of course it cannot compare to the vast and powerful forces such as the World Government, the Navy, and the Kingdom of Hibernate.

Although it cannot compare to the renowned royal crews such as the Whitebeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Red-Haired Pirates.

There is no doubt that the combination of these kingdoms would make them one of the most powerful forces in the world, the only thing they lack is top-tier combat power.

This massive army and population, when combined with top-tier combat power, would be an unimaginably formidable force.

A group of kings from various member states around the world gathered to discuss the impact of the Kingdom of Heberfeller.

In the Grand Line Paradise, in the Kingdom of Prodens, King Elizabello II presented a newspaper about the Heberfeller family.

He pointed at Charlotte's photo in the newspaper, and all the other kings' eyes were drawn to it!

The figure in the photo is known to everyone in the world today; he is a truly terrifying "King".

Seeing that everyone's attention had been drawn, King Elizabeth II slowly began to speak.

"This is the founder of the Kingdom of Hibernian, one of the Five Emperors, a legendary pirate, the terminator of the old era, the strongest man in the world... Hibernian Charlotte. I think all the kings present are well aware of the danger he poses."

The crowd reacted in various ways to the words of King Elizabeth II.

Many ordinary people may not know this, but how could the kings of various countries not know the terrifying nature of the Hibernian pirate family and the Hibernian Kingdom?

It can be said that this is the third largest power in the world today, after the World Government and the Navy.

Elbaf, the world's leading superpower, was naturally not included.

The kings present were well aware that the giants themselves had great internal problems, and since they generally did not come into contact with the outside world, the threat they posed was naturally not as great as that of the Kingdom of Heberfil.

Their overwhelming force was so overwhelming that any single kingdom would be instantly annihilated in their presence.

King Shunda Lucas, a blond-haired king from the Kingdom of Ilusia in the Western Sea, was the first to ask a question.

"Speak, what do you mean by this?"

This statement also attracted the attention of the other kings.

"A joint proposal was launched, and multiple countries formed an alliance to establish a maritime force to deal with the situation."

Upon hearing this, kings from all over the world wore expressions of disbelief.

It's important to understand that because of the existence of navies, these countries do not allow the existence of a military force like a navy.

This would easily be rejected by the Five Elders, the highest authority in the World Government, even if it were an alliance.

They are simply trying to challenge the world's most powerful nation, the Kingdom of Heberfeller, based on their own limited strength.

That's undoubtedly wishful thinking.

That was a powerful nation with countless top experts; in their eyes, it was a true superpower.

They possess the world's most powerful peak combat strength, and in addition, they have extraordinary masters whose strength is comparable to that of the Navy Admirals and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Even setting aside such high-end and super combat power, there are countless individuals whose combat strength is comparable to that of a vice admiral in the Navy Headquarters.

What kind of alliance could there be? Putting aside whether the world government would even approve the proposal, judging from the outcome alone, it's like a complete joke.

If the fight continues, it will only result in one-sided slaughter.

It would be simpler to increase the amount of gold in the sky and strengthen the navy.

"Are you kidding me?! This is so outrageous!"

In the Kingdom of Ershu, King Bill VI looked listless and seemed completely uninterested in King Elizabello II's proposal.

"We're a member state that has paid its dues, what are we afraid of?"

In his view, it's more comfortable to lie down than to waste time and effort on things that are beyond his control and yield no results.

He can leave the troublesome matters to the Navy and the World Government; he just needs to pay the money, be guaranteed safety, and enjoy the rest of his life.

"How can this be a joke? The safety of the kingdom is our foundation. We should build an even stronger military."

King Elizabeth II couldn't help but roar, thinking that Bill VI before him was utterly foolish.

The ideas of the Kingdom of Heberfeller had such a huge impact on many countries, could he really not see it?

Utterly foolish!

"I agree with King Elizabello II's proposal that we could try to put it into the hands of the World Government."

The usually taciturn King of Rommel spoke in a deep voice.

Soon, the beautiful Queen Monloron of the Tajichin Kingdom softly declined.

"I'm not going to waste my time on something like that."

In her opinion, it should be left to the navy to handle; she didn't really like this kind of fighting and killing.

In an instant...

A heated discussion erupted in the conference room; some agreed, some disagreed, and some remained neutral...

It can be said that the demands of each kingdom are completely different, and their feelings are naturally different as well.

Just as the many kingdoms of the world are not in a hurry, the journey for ordinary people to the Kingdom of Heberfeller is too far.

Those nations situated along the Grand Line, on the other hand, are naturally more anxious.

Similarly, some benevolent kings did not care about the influence of the Kingdom of Heberfel. After all, who would want to risk going to another country when they were living well in their own country?

Those who blushed with anger were naturally from kingdoms whose ruling methods were too cruel, because the ideology of the Heberfeller Kingdom had the most damaging effect on them.

The once calm and dignified World Conference Room now resembled a bustling marketplace.

After a long while, the meeting room quieted down considerably.

"From the Grand Line, the great nation of Alabasta, Queen Nefertari Cobra spoke calmly."

"I abstain from this proposal."

For a moment, many countries were bewildered. The value of Alabasta was different; its significance was entirely different.

However, even so, one-third of the kingdoms still insisted on this proposal.

The meeting ended unhappily.

Meanwhile, these unwilling kingdoms even contacted other small countries that were not qualified to participate in the meeting and jointly submitted a proposal to the World Government.

It caused a strong tremor.

Inside Pangu City!

Inside the enormous royal palace.

At the end of the towering, continuous steps, a throne representing supreme significance stands there in the distance, like a throne in the void.

In front of the Void Throne stands the sword of the twenty first kings who formed an alliance eight hundred years ago; it is the sword of their oath of alliance.

It symbolizes an empty throne, where no one can sit and rule the world.

In the quiet Oath Hall, the Five Elders, the world's highest authority, waited silently for something, their expressions extremely solemn.

stomping on...

The dull yet resonant sound of footsteps slowly echoed throughout the vast, empty, and secluded hall.

The five elders below all tensed up.

The footsteps seemed to possess some kind of magic, each step feeling as if they were pounding on the hearts of the five people.

Until the footsteps disappeared, a figure sat down on the empty, high-hanging throne.

If such an unbelievable thing were to become known to the outside world, it would certainly cause a huge uproar.

On that lofty, empty throne symbolizing the pinnacle of power, at that "world's highest point" that should never have existed, a figure looked down upon everything.

No one should be sitting in that position, yet a hazy, indistinct figure calmly sits on the void throne.

Five voices echoed in the dark and empty hall.

"Lord Im!"

The five elders, the world's highest authority, knelt on one knee, speaking respectfully to the person at the "top of the world" as if they were servants.

"What happened?"

The figure shrouded in shadow on the empty throne spoke in a cold, emotionless voice, and an eerie sense of oppression spread wildly.

Saint Satan, one of the Five Elders, wearing a black flat-topped hat, gripped his cane tightly and said in a deep voice.

"Lord Im, a man named Hibernian Charlotte has appeared recently."

As he listened to the words of the Five Elders, Saint Satan, from below, Im, who was in the shadows, lowered his eyes slightly, and an inexplicable pressure swept over him.

The five elders felt a chill run down their spines; they knew it was the "King's" gaze upon them.

"Aren't they members of the D clan?"

Without hesitation, Saint Satan answered the king's question, "No."

This clearly piqued the interest of Im, who had just awakened.

The fact that he was solemnly mentioned by these people shows that he is an extraordinary person.

Tell me about it!

The questioning voice carried a hint of surprise and curiosity.

Upon hearing Im's order, Satan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly explained the situation to the king.

A moment later, Satan Saint introduced everything about Heberfeller Charlotte in the simplest and clearest language.

Clearly, Im, the world's king behind the scenes who had lived for a very long time, showed genuine surprise.

A person who does not have the name "D" but possesses a spirit and will similar to that of the "D" clan.

This was somewhat unexpected by Im.

This reminded Im of two famous individuals with the name "D" who caused quite a stir in the world.

They are representative figures of two different spiritual wills representing the "D" clan.

These two men are Rocks D. Giebeck and Gol D. Roger.

Those guys who surprised Im when he briefly regained consciousness.

Just like eight hundred years ago, the clash between those two wills was exactly the same.

Although the current Heberfeller Charlotte does not possess the name "D," the spirit she embodies overlaps significantly with that of the two men.

That protracted war is truly not far off.

The Five Elders below were naturally very concerned about Lord Im's condition, although they were currently in a brief silence.

However, they knew very well that the "King" had almost fully awakened, so there would definitely be instructions on what to do next.

Most importantly, with Lord Im's complete recovery, the great war will now begin, marking the final turning point.

They were absolutely determined and certain.

This is a fact!

The Five Elders are known to the outside world as the world's highest authority.

Their purpose is to serve Lord Im.

To govern, control, balance, and operate the world.

This is to maintain the world government's supreme power over the world.

This rule is now being broken.

The ever-expanding vast kingdom of Hibern was an outcome that was neither what they had hoped for nor what Im had anticipated.

Im, the "King of the World," sits behind the scenes on the Void Throne.

This moment truly drew the attention of the Kingdom of Heberfeller.

The terrible consequences it caused are almost unimaginable.

The next second, on the Void Throne at the top, in the darkness shrouded in shadow, a pair of blood-red eyes emerged, like a demon from hell.

Those red eyes were filled with eerie spiral patterns, giving off a strange sense of dread.

"Let's keep a close eye on the changes in the world; that plan is about to enter its final countdown..."

Countdown!!!

The five elders below all sharpened their gazes, for they understood the meaning of those words perfectly.

It seems that a truly massive war is about to begin.

That was a battle powerful enough to destroy the world, like a cycle that erased all traces of the world and redefined the order of a "new" world.

The five elders answered respectfully in unison, "Yes, Lord Im."

As soon as the words were spoken, the five of them looked up at the empty throne again, but Im was no longer there, and the place had returned to normal.

The long-haired, long-bearded Mazsa then looked at the other five elders and spoke.

"How should we handle the proposal put forward by the member states around the world?"

Maz Saint didn't mention this to Im just now, naturally because he knew very well that Lord Im wasn't interested in such things.

The bald man, Nassou, rubbed his chin with one hand and said coldly.

"They are nothing but a bunch of puppets, and their so-called power is just a trap. Rejection."

Upon hearing this, the other four elders exchanged glances.

While the World Conference may seem to offer suggestions for the world's development, it is merely a deceptive cover-up, its true purpose being to serve the Celestial Dragons.

They never truly cared about those "mortal" kings; it was all just a bunch of silly tricks to fool the world.

"Let's do it that way!"

Maz Saint spoke up, and the others did not object.

Saint Satan, who had been deep in thought, suddenly spoke up and added.

"Of course, we can also make them useful by notifying the various kingdoms to form land armies and be ready to be summoned by the World Government at any time."

Hearing this was quite a pleasant surprise.

This is a pretty good arrangement, appeasing various countries and providing cannon fodder, killing two birds with one stone.

"Then let's do it as soon as possible!"

Following Satan's suggestion, Pitt spoke calmly.

Their most important task right now is to expedite Lord Im's plans...

Meanwhile, in the distant new world, the kingdom of Heberfeller...

"Achoo~"

Charlotte couldn't help but sneeze, muttering, "Damn it, how did I catch a cold?"

I shook my head, feeling a bit incredulous.

It's truly baffling that someone with his constitution would have such a problem.

Fortunately, the sneezing did not continue after a few minutes.

It seemed to be an extremely accidental event. Without thinking too much about it, he decided to go into seclusion.

This is a crucial juncture regarding whether his strength can be further enhanced.
