Chapter 181 Lies and Im

Doberman and Ghost Spider, who had no idea what had happened, were suddenly in a dilemma. They didn't even dare to tell Lakulova what Sakaski said, and could only continue to wait for follow-up news.

"Sakaski has the support of the Five Elders. We will do as he says. Even if something goes wrong in the end, it won't be our fault."

Ghost Spider grinned and looked sharply at Lakulova who was commanding the marines at the port.

If they choose Sakaski, the first person they need to deal with is Lakulova.

The marines of the giant tribe have always been loyal supporters of the headquarters.

Even if they used Sakaski and the Five Elder Stars, it would be unlikely to convince Lakulova, a stubborn guy.

"Don't mess around!"

Lieutenant General Doberman's face changed slightly. If he disobeyed the order of the headquarters, there would still be room for remedy afterwards.

But if you take the lead in provoking a conflict, or attack your own people, you might really become a traitor to the navy.

The last person who did this, Delocas, was almost hunted down by Borsalino and eventually had to join CP0 under a pseudonym.
Doberman doesn't think that his strength can be compared with Derocas, who was once a candidate for admiral. Besides, Borsalino is no longer the potential star of the navy.

It would not be difficult for the two of them to defeat Lakulova together, but Borsalino was determined to kill them, so even if he joined forces with Ghost Spider, it would be a dead end.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything. Just trick Lakulova away and tell him that the headquarters has a new order. Have him go to support the G5 branch immediately."

Spider Demon also understood Doberman's concerns. Unlike the new generation of navy and pirates, Spider Demon and Doberman witnessed the entire process of Borsalino's rise.

In the era when Rocks had not yet completely dominated the sea, he single-handedly earned the title of a naval monster, on par with the naval hero Garp.

If he had a choice, Spider Demon would rather face Kaido, the King of Beasts, than try to compete with Borsalino.

If he encounters the former, he still has a chance of survival with his strength, but if he encounters the latter, he can only pray for a good rebirth in the next life.

"That's a good idea. I'll leave it to you!"

Doberman looked at Ghost Spider in surprise. He didn't expect that this usually arrogant colleague could come up with such an idea.

Most of the giant marines are very stubborn, but just as famous as their stubbornness, they are also very gullible.

Of course, being easy to deceive does not mean being easy to bully. Once the giant marines find out that they have been deceived, the rage they burst out will definitely make anyone who tried to deceive them regret it for the rest of their lives.

"Then I'll go! But if the headquarters questions you later, it will be your turn to take over!"

The corner of Ghost Spider's mouth twitched. He was thinking that Doberman was the commander and he was just Doberman's deputy, and that Doberman should be the one to deceive Lakulova. He didn't expect that Doberman would directly put the blame on him.

It would be a good thing that he would not necessarily have to deal with Lakulova in the future. This group of stubborn people who only supported Marinford would most likely be regarded as rebels by Marijoa, and Ghost Spider would not have to worry that Lakulova would cause trouble for him.

"make a deal."

Doberman scratched his head. He was thinking the same idea as Ghost Spider. Even if the worst happened, there was still the tall man Sakaski to support him.

Given Borsalino's character, he would most likely hold Sakaski responsible for the incident. As a humble lieutenant general of the headquarters, he could not afford to be charged with disobeying the headquarters' orders.

The two people who made the decision quickly took action separately. Doberman was responsible for reporting the situation of the G1 branch to Sakaski, while Demon Spider found Lakulova and conveyed the "new order" of the headquarters to him.

After hearing what Spider Demon said, Giant Vice Admiral Lakulov did not doubt it and simply took his men and left the G1 branch on his exclusive ship.

As soon as Lakulova's ship disappeared on the sea level, Ghost Spider immediately ordered the navy to stop transporting supplies.

According to the headquarters' previous order, the G1 branch should pack up all the supplies in the warehouse and take them away, but in that case the fleet's combat effectiveness would be greatly affected due to carrying too many supplies.

But Sakaski only wanted the G1 branch's naval fleet and had no plans to take the entire G1 branch away.

At the same time that Sakaski headed for the G1 branch, the kings of the member nations in the waters around Marijoa also received conscription orders from the World Government.

They were ordered to take the entire nation's army to Marijoa within the specified time. If they failed to arrive within the specified time, or the number of troops arriving at Marijoa did not meet the requirements, they would be removed from the list of member states!

At this time, the news that the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates' fleet was preparing to attack Marijoa had not yet spread completely. The kings of the member states did not know what was going on, but they did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and they gathered their troops and prepared to go to Marijoa.

In addition, the underground world has also posted a list of the highest bounties in history, offering a sky-high price of 10 billion berries for the head of Boros, the captain of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates.

The major mercenary organizations were directly sponsored by the wealthy World Government, and all their mercenaries were directly supported. Even Judge, who had already returned to the North Sea, received a quotation that made him very excited.

The huge commission, which was almost ten times the normal war employment, almost blinded Judge's eyes. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Judge recalled Borsalino's warning to him and had to reluctantly refuse the World Government's employment.

However, there are not many mercenary organizations like Germa 66 that choose to refuse. Most of the mercenary organizations are even willing to break the contract and give up the war they are currently participating in in order to go to Marijoa.

When the giant "machine" of the World Government starts to work, the power it unleashes is enough to make the ocean tremble.

However, just as many people were secretly wondering why the world government was suddenly making so many big moves, a piece of big news that shocked everyone and made them speechless quickly spread around the world.

Hundreds of thousands of newsbirds delivered tens of millions of newspapers to every corner of the world in just one day.

Countless people were stunned by the big news on the front page of the World Economic News, although Boros had already announced that he would overthrow the World Government when the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates annexed the BIG MOM Pirates.

But the revolutionary army has shouted similar slogans countless times.

In addition, the World Government has been intentionally or unintentionally suppressing the popularity of the event, so that outside the New World, very few people know about the existence of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirate Group or even Boros.

However, this time, even the most ignorant ordinary people, when they see the photo of the endless pirate fleet on the front page of the newspaper, will realize that the World Government is in trouble!
Not to mention that Morgans was so 'thoughtful' as to detail the strength of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates on the front page news. Ordinary people might not know what the concept of a Pirate Emperor was, but the brutal number of two hundred thousand pirates was shocking enough.

You should know that the total population of many countries on the sea is less than 200,000. A medical "big" country like the Drum Kingdom is just composed of a few villages, and the total population does not even exceed 100,000.

Even the kings of the member states who received the conscription order from the World Government began to back off. The enemy had 200,000 pirates, and they came from a dangerous place like the New World. God knew how miserable the deaths of their armies would be if they encountered these pirates.

If their troops suffered too many casualties, the kings might not even be able to keep their thrones.

Moreover, if they support the World Government in being hostile to pirates, they might be targeted by the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirate Group afterwards, and the consequences would be disastrous.

"Damn it! Morgans, that bastard! Turns out he's a traitor too!"

Jaygolucia Satan, a man with fluffy curly hair, knocked the floor with his cane in shock and anger, as if he wanted to vent the anger that was pent up in his heart.

In the past, Morgans' World Economic News had always had a tacit understanding with the World Government. Although Morgans would occasionally publish news that embarrassed the World Government, most of the time they were just harmless news.

Over time, the World Government began to relax its surveillance of Morgans. But who would have thought that just when the Five Elders were busy and overwhelmed, Morgans actually launched a "surprise attack" on them!
By the time the world government realized that something was wrong and reacted, Morgans' news bird had already delivered newspapers to the whole world.

It was too late to suppress the bad news at this time. Many mercenary organizations and bounty hunters decisively tore up their cooperation agreements with the World Government after learning that the enemy they were about to face was the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates.

Especially those giants in the underground world who have connections everywhere, even put on an appearance of strictly maintaining neutrality.

Two Pirate Emperors plus a 'Cosmic Overlord' who is stronger than the Pirate Emperor, such a luxurious lineup is enough to offset the reputation that the World Government has built up over the past eight hundred years to some extent.

The only thing to be thankful for is that most of the kings of the member states who received the conscription orders were very conscious. Except for one unlucky one that had a civil strife, the rest assembled their troops and prepared to go to sea within the time specified by the World Government.

"We can't wait any longer. Report to Lord Yimu. Even if you are punished, it is only right."

The long-bearded Macas Maz Saint said in a deep voice.

Originally, the Five Elders had hoped to apologize to Lord Im after winning the battle to defend the holy land, relying on their achievements in eliminating major threats.

Even if the merits and demerits cannot offset each other, at least it can reduce the guilt on one's part.

But now it seems that the enemies are not just those on the surface. First it was Borsalino of the Navy Headquarters, and then it was CP0 Stussy in the New World.

Now even Morgans, who has always cooperated happily with the World Government, has stabbed them in the back. No one knows how many enemies are lurking in the dark.

If they continue like this, it will sooner or later alarm Lord Yim, so it would be better for them to confess first. Now is the time when Lord Yim is needed, and he will show some mercy.

'Clang!'

Topman Vochuli Saint, who had the most violent temper, smashed the cup in his hand fiercely, and his two extremely conspicuous beards trembled in anger.

"If I knew which bastard was behind all this, I would tear him to pieces!"

Saint Vochuli cursed loudly with a ferocious face, but he still couldn't guess the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

After all, the idea that a newly appointed naval admiral has been plotting for decades just to overthrow the world government is simply magical.

It can only be said that the role played by Borsalino in the past few decades was too deceptive. In addition, the Navy Headquarters has been passively resisting until now and seems to have no intention of attacking Marijoa. This illusion has prevented the Five Elders from locking on to their real enemy.

"Let's go. First we have to apologize to Lord Im, and then we have to prepare for the defense of the holy land..." Shepard ten Peter Saint with blond hair shook his head. This time, maybe they will have to go to the battlefield as well.

Fortunately, his strength has not been deteriorated too much over the years. It might be a bit stressful to face the two Pirate Emperors and Boros who is stronger than the Pirate Emperor, but other than that, Saint Pirate really doesn't take ordinary enemies seriously.

He felt very unhappy about having to personally deal with those despicable pirates, and could only hope that Cyborg Sora and the Knights of God could do their best to eliminate all the enemies.

"What's the situation with Ancient Saint Green?"

Saint Maz stood up and led the way towards Hanano, while asking Saint Izambaron V. Nasujuro who was wearing samurai clothes.

As the martial artist among the Five Elder Stars, Nasujuro Sei, the God of Finance, is not only the strongest among the five, but also shoulders the authority to command the Army and the Divine Army. Nasujuro Sei is also responsible for liaison with the Divine Knights, who have a special relationship with the Divine Army.

The Knights of God will be the last line of defense in the battle to defend the Holy Land, and the "Universe Overlord" who defeated two Pirate Emperors in succession will have to be handed over to the leader of the Knights of God, Figalando Green, to deal with.

"The Knights of God are still recruiting members, but Ancient Saint Green has promised to take action personally."

Nasu Shoulangsheng adjusted his glasses. If it had been twenty or thirty years earlier, he might still have been able to fight.

But now Nasu Shoulangsheng is aware of his own condition and will not take on challenges that are beyond his ability.

Even though he regained his youth with the power of pure gold, he had been away from front-line combat for decades. Neither his mentality nor his willpower made it possible for him to compete with that monster. He didn't even have much chance of winning against the two pirate emperors.

Fortunately, the number of strong enemies is quite limited. As long as Cyborg Sora can defeat one Pirate Emperor, then they will definitely win if the five of them fight against one.

The other five elder stars also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. It was really a headache for them to fight against a strong enemy again after so many years. Fortunately, the most difficult one had been taken over by Ancient Saint Green, and the rest were nothing to worry about.

The group soon fell into silence, and each walked towards the flowers with their own thoughts.

When the door between the flowers opened, the figure sitting on the throne that seemed to have existed for eternity slowly opened his eyes.

The high and mighty Five Elders actually knelt down in front of the figure with great obedience, and prostrated themselves at the foot of the throne like the most devout believers.

I don’t know how long it took…

The figure on the throne finally turned his gaze towards the Five Elders, and a voice that was neither male nor female and sounded like a machine-generated voice rang out among the flowers.

"Why are you here...?"

Yim didn't even have the intention to let the Five Elders stand up, as if it was natural for the Five Elders to kneel before him.

"Please forgive our incompetence, Lord Yim!"

The Five Elders all lowered their heads, not daring to look Im directly in the eye.

Even though they have regained their youth through pure gold, the power they possess comes from the gift of Lord Yim.

Yim can grant power to the Five Elders, and naturally he can also take the power back. This is the main reason why the Five Elders are so respectful.

"speak!"

Yim frowned slightly. If the Five Elders could come to him and apologize on their own initiative, it was probably because of some trouble that was difficult to resolve.

What Im couldn’t understand was, what else in this world could make the Five Elder Stars helpless? Could it be that an unexpected light appeared?
"The thing is, a few months ago, a pirate who claimed to be the 'Universe Overlord' Boros appeared in the New World..."

Marcus Maz, the highest-ranking of the Five Elder Stars, carefully began to recount what had happened before. When he heard that Boros had subdued two pirate emperors, Im's eyes finally changed slightly.

The Five Elders, who were lowering their heads, naturally could not see this scene, but they still narrated what happened next with great respect.

"You are guilty of negligence... huh?"

Before Im could finish his words, his attention was suddenly focused on the Five Elder Stars.

In his impression, it has been quite a few years since this generation of the Five Elders came to power, especially the oldest one, who had come to meet him together with the Five Elders of the previous generation.

Logically speaking, these people should be very old, but he felt a youthful aura from the Five Elder Stars.

"I haven't had time to report to you yet, Lord Yim, but we have found the legendary pure gold."

Saint Satan, who was kneeling beside Saint Maz, seemed to have thought of something and quickly began to explain.

At the same time, he reluctantly took out a pocket watch inlaid with a small piece of pure gold from his arms, held it in both hands and presented it to Im to see.

The other four Five Elders also took out their own pieces of pure gold and, without exception, placed them in the places closest to their bodies, for fear of accidentally losing them.

"Oh? You are lucky. Keep it. If Mu wants it, he will get it."

Yim didn't care too much. Compared with his immortal life, the eternal youth of pure gold seemed not good enough. Besides, the effect of pure gold in the hands of the Five Elders did not seem to be as good as the legend said, otherwise the youthful aura of the Five Elders would not be so weak.

"Yes!"

The Five Elders also breathed a sigh of relief. If Im wanted the pure gold in their hands, they couldn't refuse no matter how reluctant they were.

Fortunately, Lord Yim was kind enough to allow them to continue to possess the pure gold and obtain a lifespan that would never come to an end.

"You are guilty, but considering that you have done a small deed here, I will allow you to make up for your crime and make up for your crime."

Not only did Im not immediately hold the Five Elders accountable for their crimes, he even allowed them to make meritorious contributions while serving their sentences.

Upon hearing this, the Five Elders were overjoyed and lowered their heads even more respectfully, almost knocking their heads on the floor between the flowers.

"Thank you, Master Yim!"

The Five Elders said in unison.

Perhaps it was because they had encountered so many bad things in recent times that they felt extremely grateful for this rare bit of luck.

"Just step back."

Yimu said calmly.

After saying this, he closed his eyes and returned to his previous figure that seemed unchanged since time immemorial.

The Five Elders did not dare to disturb them any further and tiptoed out of the Flower Room. They only breathed a sigh of relief after the door to the Flower Room was closed.

No matter how many times I have come to see Lord Yimu, I can always feel the heavy feeling pressing on my heart.

After all, he is a great existence that has ruled this world eight hundred years ago. Even the Five Elder Stars dare not be careless in the slightest.

"Then we should act as soon as possible. We need to evacuate the Celestial Dragons to a safe area first. Is there still no news from Vegapunk?"

Nasujuro Sei touched his bald forehead and felt it was a little damp, probably from the cold sweat that came out when he was among the flowers.

"Well, I will convince all the Celestial Dragons as soon as possible, but Marijoa is safe enough now, so we should send more people to protect it."

Saint Maz frowned. It was not easy to make the Celestial Dragons obey. Fortunately, they had obtained the forgiveness of Lord Im, so they did not have to worry about the Celestial Dragons taking the opportunity to "rebel".

Moreover, the pure gold has a clear path through Lord Im. Even if all the Celestial Dragons unite, they can't take the pure gold away from them.

"I will urge the member states to deploy their troops as soon as possible."

Peter Saint adjusted his tie, said hello to the other Five Elders, and left first.

The remaining four Five Elder Stars were also busy dealing with the matters at hand. They were still in a state of redeeming themselves from their crimes. If their performance in the upcoming battle to defend the holy land was not good enough, no one could guarantee that Lord Im would not hold them accountable.

In the New World, the mighty super pirate fleet is advancing towards Marijoa with an unstoppable momentum. Along the way, pirate groups of all sizes from the New World continue to join in. Of course, at the same time, many pirates or guys disguised as pirates quietly leave.

In general, the total strength of this huge pirate fleet has always remained above 200,000, and this number is increasing at a slow pace.

Any town, country, or even naval branch that appeared before this huge fleet along the way would be ruthlessly plundered.

Even if the brothers and sisters of Charlotte's family could provide almost unlimited food, they would not be able to keep up with the rapid consumption of more than 200,000 mouths.

Fortunately, the Big Mom Pirates have a good relationship with the giants of the underground world. Whenever the supplies are almost consumed, the transport fleet of the Shipping King 'Deep Current' Umit will always arrive at the right time to replenish supplies for the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates.

Of course, the prices of these supplies are sky-high, and even the two major pirate groups can hardly afford them.

This is when another giant in the underworld, the loan shark king Du Field, comes on the scene.
