One Piece: My Infinity Gauntlet! - Chapter 444: Lord Im!
“””””The Five Elders, come to pay respects to our Lord Im!”””””
Within the huge palace, high above the throne sits an unseen figure, under the 777 stairs, even for the Admiral, the five Elders who came and went, the supreme ruler of the world government on the bright side, was now kneeling on the ground respectfully, and they didn’t even have the courage to look up at the heroic posture of the man they called Lord!
Because the man they called Lord is the only surviving ‘King’ among the 20 who won the entire world in the first place and is the ancestor of all Celestial Dragons!
As long as he is still alive, even if all those idiots outside are dead, the Celestial Dragons bloodline will still be intact, just a few family names will be missing!
Why does the world government value the fruits of surgery so much?
And where did the news of the immortality operation come from?
The man sitting on the throne says it all!
Immortality, power and wealth, a harem of beautiful women, he is the man who has everything in the world!
The Five Elders are just puppet servants whom he hand-picked to be in charge of everything in the world for him.
When a servant sees his master, he should kneel down and greet him respectfully.
Like what the Five Elders were doing right now!
“What is it?”
The indifferent and very dignified voice from the throne, just these few words made the Five Elders seep out cold sweat, it was great pressure from the soul!
As a servant, they didn’t do what their masters ordered, and they even needed to come to their master for help in the end. To put it bluntly, if that were the case, what use would it be to have them!
Therefore, no matter how big things have happened, they have dealt with them as much as possible and played their roles well, for fear of causing dissatisfaction to their Lord.
But this time, the unusual behaviour of the Revolutionary Army and the dominance of the Faceless Pirates made it impossible for them to procrastinate any longer, and they could only come here to consult with their Lord.
And the last time they came here was two years ago over whether to publicly execute Ace and go to all-out war with Whitebeard!
Only for such an important event that affected the world would they dare to kneel down at his feet and listen to his teachings.
So, even though he knew everything, the Five Elders gave a concise account of the events of the Revolutionary Army and the Faceless Pirates and then waited quietly for instructions.
There was silence in the hall.
If anyone was standing behind Lord Im at this moment, they would have noticed that there was only one picture on the top of the table, and that was the captain of the Faceless Pirates,
“Faceless” Will, who had just been mentioned by the Five Elders
As for the White Star Princess(Shirahoshi), the pictures of Straw Hat Luffy and others had already been thrown into the trash after someone had risen from the ranks, and compared to those people, ‘Faceless’ Will was the only one that he couldn’t figure out and couldn’t find the root cause, and the strength shown by the other party was so surprising so he has to put the photo on his table that he has to pay attention to.
On the other hand, it seems that the leader of the revolutionary army that has just shaken the rule of the world government, Dragon, is not regarded by him as such a difficult enemy to deal with, perhaps the establishment of the revolutionary army from the very beginning may not be without his connivance. After all, for hundreds of years. Time passed quietly, even if he had everything in this world, he was still a bit lonely after becoming an immortal.
If you want to ‘play the game’ you have to have an opponent, too, so that it’s fun!
As to whether or not they will end up ‘playing with fire and burning themselves’ to lose the game…
Would a player who is a part-time referee, rule that he loses the game?
Those who are not in control have all disappeared into the annals of history, as they always have, and as they always will!
“You guys have disappointed me.”
The first sentence after the silence made the Five Elders already lowered their heads firmly on the ground above, the sweat on their forehead is unable to stop it’s flow, although their heart is very panicked, but they do not dare to defend themselves one more sentence, because their Lord does not like to hear these useless explanations, if you can not do things well, you will be eliminated. Out of many, only five of them are left to withstand the test. And that’s how they were called the Five Elders, the ‘rulers’ of the World Government!
“But never mind, I didn’t expect much from you anyway, go ahead and launch a full-scale counterattack on the revolutionaries, I’m curious if that little guy named Dragon is really fully prepared to be so provocative, and remember, don’t let me hear your failure this time.”
“Yes, Lord Im!”
Hearing the dull tone in Lord Im’s voice, the more respectful the invisible faces of the five Elders became, because they all knew that as long as the lord was there, any reactionary force was just a bubble that would leak out as soon as it was poked.
They also remember a few decades ago, when they were all still young, under the careful selection of their previous “leader”, they came here to meet this legendary Lord, and then it was like now, excitement, apprehension, fervour, and incomparably strong faith!
“What about… How do we counterbalance the Faceless Pirates? Now that ‘Faceless’ Will’s reputation on the sea has reached a peak, and almost everyone sees him as the closest man to the Pirate King, don’t we need to do something about it?”
“Didn’t you guys try it, and it seems that the result was the opposite of what I expected.”
Although they knew it wasn’t their Lord who was deliberately insulting themselves, the Five Elders still said sincerely, “This time we’ll do it ourselves, and we’ll make sure that the entire Faceless Pirates will be buried in the long history of the world!”
If the Three Admirals are unable to take down the Faceless Pirates, what about the entire navy? And what about their Five Elders?
As long as they don’t care what they gain or lose, even if it costs them their lives or the lives of admirals or even Fleet Admiral, they don’t believe they can’t take down the Faceless Pirates!
You know that in the War of the Best against the world’s strongest man, and the Whitebeard Pirates, they did not consider such a radical plan, but now in front of their Lord, naturally, they can no longer have reservations, otherwise it’s no use to keep a dog who can’t do anything!
Lord Im seems to have given it some serious thought before slowly saying, “Let’s put this aside, if this person’s goal is just a misty and useless name like the Pirate King, then forget it, and then it won’t be too late to destroy him.”
The Five Elders hesitated, but still didn’t question their Lord’s decision, and then were surprised to hear their Lord continue, “I’ll do it myself when the time comes, it’s been a long time since I met such an interesting little guy.”
With such a statement, the five Elders immediately stopped worrying about the Faceless Pirate group and even thought that their Lord might be a little too bored.
“There is one more thing … My Lord, your crown has been stolen.”
