One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

Each point closer to the highest point.

In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, even the strongest warriors who have struggled to hold on will fall.

Until he had walked this long stretch of road.

Few people in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise are still able to move.

But these people are all top-notch experts.

Kahn officially ascended to this bustling and luxurious center of power, which had been in power for over seven hundred years, and no one came forward to stop him.

He kept walking forward.

If they encounter a Celestial Dragon who is unconscious, they kick him away.

The Holy Land Mary Geoise is small compared to the Red Line, but larger than some large islands. Its roads are intricate and complex, making it easy for first-time visitors to get lost.

Even the Celestial Dragons, who have lived in the Holy Land Mary Geoise for decades, can't remember the way. Perhaps those good-for-nothings never intended to remember it in the first place.

Kahn sensed the aura that the Five Elders were actively releasing.

Not long after.

He arrived at an important gate.

The surrounding area exuded malice, whether from members of the Holy Knights, monsters from CP0, or some other unknown powerful being.

Without much hesitation.

open the door.

Enter it.

What comes into view are five top leaders representing world governments.

The Five Elders.

Among the Five Elders, the Golden-Bearded Elder sat with his hands in his pockets on a gold-plated armchair, facing the gate, a smile of great interest on his face.

The bald Five Elders, without a beard, were sitting on a large sofa behind the Golden-Bearded Five Elders, with a very long sword lying in front of him. This sword was very likely the first generation Kitetsu.

Beside this Five Elders, who was holding a knife and exuded a menacing aura, sat a Five Elders with a mustache, his arms crossed and sitting upright.

Standing next to the Five Old Men with the mustache was an extremely tall man.

Hands in pockets.

Facing the gate.

The Five Elders, with their long beards and serious expressions.

Finally, there is the Five Elders with the golden beard, sitting sideways on the other side of the chair, looking straight ahead, who is known as the wisest of the Five Elders.

The moment the door was opened.

He turned his head, his gaze falling on Kahn, and said in a tone that suggested he already knew, "You've come."

Kahn sized up the Five Elders who had spoken first.

This five elder statesman, leaning on a cane, with curly hair, looked refined and scholarly, like an intellectual.

The five elders changed their posture.

They all radiated joy.

Kahn was baffled, as if the Five Elders had deliberately struck this pose to wait for him to arrive, and had been doing so for a long time until their bodies were a little numb.

"I know why you came here."

This intellectual-looking elder was the core of this exchange. He put on a confident look and said, "We will have many opportunities to communicate in the future. Sooner or later you will agree with our ideas and actions, become a part of us, and have supreme power and status."

Kahn did not respond.

He found a comfortable spot on his own.

Sit down.

“I know how much you resent Roger. You want to know what’s on the last island, you want to know the truth about this world, you want all those who trample on and destroy order to die, and you want to change this world.”

"We have high expectations for you."

"Of course...we should now talk about something more interesting and lighthearted to show our sincerity."

"..."

The five elders, who looked like intellectuals, had a smug expression on their faces.

"Funny boy."

The bald, beardless Five Elders rubbed his bald head with one hand and held the demon sword in the other, his face full of curiosity, and said, "I'm quite curious about your skill level. If there's a chance, we can have a match. I can tell you're more skilled in dual-sword style, and you'll be the best successor to my sword."

"This demonic blade is no less powerful than the sword in your hand, but unfortunately I was never able to fight Wang Zhi."

His tone was full of regret.

"..."

"Didn't you say it wasn't the right time yet? You bastard..."

Wearing a black suit, with a bald head, a mustache shaped like the number eight, and a birthmark on his forehead, the Five Elders said anxiously, "He built the sea train, established a shipping route that closely connects mutual exchanges and development, and established diplomatic relations with Alabasta from the very beginning. He is obviously more suitable for diplomacy and more suitable to follow my path."

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The sound of the cane tapping the ground continued to echo.

This elder, who resembled an intellectual, stopped the other elders from their pointless arguments and introduced them to Kahn: "The two who spoke first, one is in charge of military affairs, and the other is in charge of diplomacy and integrity."

"And I am one of the Five Elders who are dedicated to maintaining order on the sea and making laws to ensure stability."

“You have managed Alabasta exceptionally well, beyond my expectations. The new laws and systems that Alabasta has established have greatly surprised me. No one is more suitable to succeed me than you.”

"I just think you're sometimes too kind, and the systems and laws you've created are too lenient on those lowly people, and the criminal laws aren't cruel enough. But don't worry, I'll help you."

"..."

"Wait! What are you doing?!"

The long-bearded Five Elders said unhappily, "You have the nerve to talk about others? Aren't you introducing yourself too! I specialize in dealing with historical issues and know all the historical truths. You inherit my position, which means that this world has no secrets for you."

Finally, the last one, Golden Beard, couldn't hold back any longer and introduced himself: "I am in charge of the finance and intelligence departments. You will succeed me and witness the world's greatest wealth. No one in the entire ocean will escape your notice."

He originally favored Roger.

But Roger's performance was far too poor.

"..."

Kahn watched all of this unfold.

Keep making things up, and see if I believe you.

These crucial parts are actually controlled by just a few people.

The actions of the Five Elders, who are in charge of military affairs, are no different from those of terrorists.

In charge of diplomacy, non-member states had no human rights and were treated like livestock. Member states were also required to pay exorbitant fees, and those who couldn't pay suffered even worse consequences than non-member states.

For the status of the member states.

They can only oppress those below them.

Why do you care whether member states are foreign or not?

Needless to say, the financial and intelligence aspects are so vast that even you yourselves probably don't know exactly how much wealth and intelligence you've amassed... specifically for dealing with civilians and those who resist the order you've established.

This department is specifically for handling historical issues... Is it the cultural department?

Ok.

Destroy Ohara, conceal the hidden blank century of history, hide your filth, create a righteous and glorious image, and continue to oppress the entire sea.

No wonder the world is a mess.

With the power, status, and influence of the Five Elders, they can put in a little effort.

This ocean shouldn't be in such a state!

They simply cling to what they have and refuse to give it up. Any new ideas that try to overthrow them are suppressed. They probably only accept themselves because they believe their rule has serious problems.

We want to make improvements.

Minor internal improvements.

Kahn was not illiterate in his previous life.

I've studied modern history!

The world government's rule in this world has even greater problems than the last dynasty in the previous life, and it is absolutely impossible to reform it successfully.

So many failures in history.

This is enough to prove that the ruling class, which clings to the old order and refuses to relinquish its status and power, is absolutely incapable of changing anything!

The five elders all enjoy perks.

Who knows how many years these corrupt rulers have enjoyed their rule!

The woman of the last dynasty, for her own benefit, did not even spare her own flesh and blood, clinging tightly to what she possessed.

The Five Elders will only go even further than her.

If you believe these people, you'll be devoured, leaving not even bones and scraps.

"You've said so much."

"We should also show our sincerity."

"Bring it over."

A child dressed in traditional Wano Country samurai attire, with his head shaved except for a topknot at the back, was brought over.

"Momonosuke."

The Five Elders, who gave off an intellectual vibe, introduced him as follows: "He is the son of Kozuki Oden, the last bloodline of the Kozuki clan, and possesses the most noble bloodline of Wano Country."
