Chapter 259 Im
The movie-watching journey of the sky dome has finally come to an end. It will take another 30 days of waiting before new images will appear in the sky around the world. For most people, the waiting days are tormenting, and only a very small number of people hope that the sky dome will disappear forever.
There is no new news in this world. Instead, the various forces in the ocean have fallen into a period of violent expansion. The single order that the world government once worked hard to maintain is being questioned by more and more people. On this sinking ship, not everyone wants to die with it.
Some member states that like to stir up trouble have begun to privately instigate a reduction in the amount of Heavenly Gold this year. As for the small countries that want to join the big family of the World Government, they have begun to slow down the pace of exploiting their citizens and have chosen to wait and see for a while.
The four seas, namely the East China Sea, West China Sea, North China Sea and South China Sea, are never at peace. The number of pirates is more than in any previous year, and the naval system is facing challenges.
The little people at the bottom of society all understand one thing: chaos is the ladder of progress. With their desire for wealth, lust for beautiful women, and ambition for power, a large number of small pirate groups were established at once. They banded together to attack the Grand Line with the momentum of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. The old navy did not have enough manpower to handle it.
Instead of letting the pirate groups turn the population of working age into their cannon fodder, the Old Navy, with the permission of the World Government, started a new round of large-scale conscription operations, with the idea that one more navy means one less pirate, and they competed with the pirate groups head-on for people.
All major forces are actively increasing their populations and strengthening their war potential in order to cope with the uncontrollable future.
As for the most unlucky party after the appearance of the sky curtain, it was none other than the group of Celestial Dragons. The halo surrounding them was stripped off layer by layer. Even if they claimed to be a clan of gods, they would still die when the time came. They did not have an extra life just because they were a clan of gods.
The death scene of the entire Celestial Dragon family on the battleship has been talked about with relish in the Sky Curtain chat room. As long as a God bleeds, he is no longer a God, and their behavior is more like a group of arrogant pigs. Excluding the outlier Doflamingo, they have no strength of their own and have become the protected party. Sooner or later, they will be bitten back by the slaves they raised.
And there is the ancestor of the Celestial Dragons who has lived for eight hundred years. Whenever someone talks about this topic in the chat room, there will always be someone to interrupt and end the topic, and bring the discussion to other directions. Aren't there good things about discussing Kaido's bounty, Blackbeard's bounty, the conspiracy of Buggy the Clown, etc.?
All of this was done intentionally by the Five Elder Stars. Since they knew they couldn't stop it, they could only try to be clever and change the subject, trying to divert public attention. As long as they didn't discuss the ancestor of the Celestial Dragons, he would be a good citizen in the eyes of the Five Elder Stars.
Doflamingo, the instigator who leaked the matter, only found out about it later. He had been in the dark breeding room for several days without getting a rest and almost met with death.
"Elsa, if you know it yourself, then you know it, but why do you have to say it out loud?"
Doflamingo had a look of deep hatred and resentment on his face. Two members of the Knights of God followed behind him and escorted him to a place where the Five Elders had been waiting for a long time.
A group of people entered the palace, and the members of the Knights of God withdrew respectfully. Tian Yasha looked at the high position in front of him. Next to the throne of the highest power of the world government, there were weapons left by the twenty kings. That was the oath from eight hundred years ago, guaranteeing that no one would ascend to the supreme position.
The five old men of the Five Elders stood respectfully under the throne, as if they were waiting for someone. Doflamingo broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this scene, which made the unruly master sweat profusely. He didn't expect to meet the real master today.
A tall figure walked out from the other side of the palace. His entire body was covered in a layer of black cloth, leaving only two eye holes exposed. He stopped under the throne and glanced at where Doflamingo was.
Although there was no murderous intent in those eyes, they were full of coldness, and almost without human emotions, which aroused the deepest fear in Doflamingo's heart. Tenyaksha was just an ant-like character in front of the ancestor, and he could be crushed to death at any time.
Doflamingo swallowed nervously, watching the man in black slowly walk up the stairs, and after completely reaching the highest position, slowly sit down. The Five Elders did not make any expression on this man's behavior, only respect and admiration on their faces.
After he was completely seated, the five old men knelt down, lowered their once proud heads, and shouted in unison: "Welcome, Lord Yim."
When Doflamingo saw the Five Elders kneeling, his knees also felt weak and he was about to kneel down. But before his elder brother could do so, Lord Im, who had reached the highest position, spoke first and said: "Stand up, you have worked hard all these years."
The Five Elders could not afford the courtesy from their superiors. Since the appearance of the sky curtain, they have not been able to find the source, and the person behind the sky curtain is also unknown. The world government that controls this planet is helpless against this alien thing. This is tantamount to slapping the Celestial Dragons in the face in public, and every additional chat message in the chat room is like a slap in the face of the Celestial Dragons.
Doflamingo was speechless at this time. He knew that there was a Celestial Dragon who had lived for many years thanks to the immortality surgery of the Operation Fruit, but he didn't know which Celestial Dragon it was. The name of Lord Imu was also not something this junior could know.
The name Im should be a code name, and no one knows whether it is a man or a woman. In short, this adult has existed since the establishment of the World Government until now.
The Five Elders have been replaced more than once in the past eight hundred years. They were the shields deliberately placed in front by Im to draw the world's attention to the puppets in front of the stage and make the world believe that the highest power of the world government belongs to the Five Elders.
"Are you surprised to see me, Don Quixote Doflamingo?"
Yimu, the ancestor of the Tianlong people who has lived for 800 years, would still have chosen to play with birds and appreciate flowers in the palace if she had not been forced out by Tianmu in disguise. However, the situation changed beyond imagination, and the surname Don Quixote always brought trouble to the Tianlong people.
Faced with the questioning of the Supreme Being, Tian Yasha was unable to answer for a moment, and he felt aggrieved in his heart. Everyone misunderstood him. How could he, Doflamingo, know so many things? But with the blame pinned on his head, no one would believe him even if he wanted to defend himself.
Fortunately, the sky curtain was not completely exposed. The message that Doflamingo left for his daughter made Im and the Five Elders feel itchy. They didn't know how much Tian Yasha knew and how many secrets he knew about the upper echelons of the Celestial Dragons.
