One Piece: Accidentally Becoming the King of the World.

...

Holy Land Marie Gioia

In the meeting hall of Pangu City, there were still those luxurious green-leather sofas with gold edges placed around a round coffee table.

The spacious and bright meeting room was filled with an oppressive atmosphere that was difficult to describe in words.

"boom!"

Saint Satan asked in a deep voice, leaning on his cane.

"Oh? A conspiracy?"

"Is it just your guess, or have you found out the results of your investigation?"

At this moment, the five old men who openly represented the pinnacle of world power had uglier looks than each other, and they focused their attention on the old man sitting opposite the sofa.

Sitting opposite me was a tall, thin, white-haired old man with a pointed nose, wearing a pair of round-frame sunglasses, and obvious wrinkles on his face. His hair formed straight lateral spikes on both sides, with a high spike on the top that bent forward. His facial beard was connected to his sideburns and was also spike-shaped. There was also a large spiked beard on his chin. Overall, his hair and beard formed a shape similar to a crescent moon that was flipped forward.

It is none other than the current leader of the Knights of God, Feigarand Galinsheng!

"Of course I have verified some of the information, otherwise I wouldn't be here in person!"

Jialin Sheng crossed his legs high and spoke slowly.

"I have ordered the Knights of God to conduct a secret investigation in the Holy Land for several months!"

"What we can be sure of now is that, apart from those who died of natural causes and those who unfortunately died in the riot caused by Douglas Barrett's attack on Mary Geoise, no abnormalities have been found. It is basically certain that the problem lies outside of Mary Geoise!"

The Five Elders nodded silently in approval.

"After that, I focused my investigation on all the Celestial Dragons in the lower world, and also looked up the records of everyone who had left Marijoa in the past few decades."

"Did you find anything?"

Saint Satan urged anxiously.

"Unfortunately, nothing was found!"

Jialinsheng deliberately slowed down his speech.

"All the registration records were left with blank spaces! It was as if something had been quietly erased from existence without our knowledge."

Upon hearing this, the Five Elders all frowned and fell into deep thought.

Jialin Sheng took out a document and an illustrated book from his arms and threw them on the table and continued.

"You should have been able to guess something about how this strange phenomenon could be created without us noticing!"

"You mean, the power of the devil fruit!"

Saint Maz stroked his long white beard and spoke.

Garin Sheng pointed at a cute-looking devil fruit recorded in the devil fruit encyclopedia and said in a deep voice.

"That's right!"

"I have carefully checked the illustrated manual. If my guess is correct, someone is probably using the power of this devil fruit to secretly attack the Celestial Dragons! This is the real reason why the number of our Celestial Dragons has been decreasing rapidly!"

"what!"

The five old men all showed surprised expressions.

"What a joke! Actions against the Celestial Dragons?! How dare they!"

The bald Five Elders clenched the hilt of the knife in his hand and said with gritted teeth.

"He really deserves death!"

Jialin Sheng used his sword to support himself and stood up, speaking in a cold tone.

"What's even worse is that the population of the Holy Land has been declining for almost 20 years. So far, the population may have dropped by nearly half! This means that the "genocide plan" against us Celestial Dragons may have been secretly implemented for 20 years! Or even longer! And we were completely unaware of this! What a dereliction of duty!"

"hiss!"

"This matter! I wonder about Lord Yimu..."

The blond Five Elders seemed to be hesitant to speak, and the other four also had panic in their eyes.

As the leaders of the Celestial Dragons, when such a huge mistake was made during their term of office, the first thing they thought of was naturally how they would be held accountable and punished.

As for the half of the Celestial Dragons that disappeared? Gone, gone. Actually, it’s true. Since the number of those idiots has decreased, not only has it become easier to manage, but even the expenses for providing the Celestial Dragons with enjoyment have saved a lot!

Seiya Garin fell into a brief silence. As the "guardians" of the Celestial Dragons and the last bastion of the holy land Marijoa, the Knights of God naturally had an unshirkable responsibility for what happened.

"Alas, Lord Yimu is still sleeping..."

Jialin Sheng could only sigh and continue.

"We must resolve this matter as soon as possible before Lord Yim wakes up, and we must minimize the impact! Then... let's go together to apologize to Lord Yim, what do you think?"

"That's right!"

Mazsheng immediately agreed, and the other four people also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a shame! What a shame!!"

"It is no exaggeration to call this the most serious incident in the eight hundred years since the establishment of the World Government!"

Saint Vochuli also began to vent his anger.

"Have you found out where the enemy is hiding? They dared to attack the noble descendants of the Creator. They must be made to repent in endless pain!"

Saint Satan also stood up with the help of his wooden stick and asked seriously.

"After analyzing the intelligence we have so far, all signs indicate that the person with special abilities should be hiding in the place that those idiots like to go to the most in the lower world! He is operating openly under our noses!"

Jialin Sheng’s face was gloomy.

!

"You mean, it was Huang Jincheng who did it?!"

The Five Elders frowned almost at the same time.

"No, now we can only confirm that the person with special abilities is hiding in the Golden City. As for whether the Golden City is also involved, it is still unknown. However, it would be even more strange for him, as the controller of the Golden City, to be completely unaware of such a big thing! Or, it is possible that Gild Tesoro is the real mastermind behind the scenes!"

"I see. Since the investigation has not been completed yet, anything is possible."

The five old men couldn't help but relax their expressions when they heard this.

Jialin Sheng saw the reactions of several people and immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

"I think everyone should know clearly in their minds that no matter who did this, if someone dares to commit such atrocities against the Celestial Dragons, we must completely wipe him and everything related to him out of this world!"

"Humph! It's natural!"

Saint Satan heard the warning in Saint Galin's words and said unhappily.

"Are you worried that we will protect Tesoro? You must be joking!"

"I didn't say that! Saint Satan!"

"That's what you mean! Galin Saint!"

"Haha, alright, alright, we are all colleagues, if you have anything to discuss, please discuss it properly and don't get angry easily."

Saint Maz stroked his beard and acted as a peacemaker again.

"As Jialin Sheng said, anyone who commits such a heinous crime must be punished with the most severe sanctions, no matter who they are or what forces they belong to! There will be no leniency! However..."

"If the Golden City is really involved in this matter, we should also be more cautious. You know, if we rashly take action against a privileged member of the World Government, it will cause a huge shock to the whole world!"

"In addition, the strength of the Golden City is not weaker than that of a pirate group, and may even be stronger. Moreover, as an absolutely neutral place, the forces gathered in the city are also complicated. It is not easy to completely annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

"That's right! This is a serious matter, we must not act rashly!"

"Yes! We must send someone to investigate thoroughly!"

Maz Saint's mature and steady speech was immediately echoed by the other four elder stars.

"I understand. I will definitely find out the truth."

A light flashed on Garin's Holy Glass. He had understood what the Five Elders meant, which was that if this matter had nothing to do with Tesoro, they would not want to involve the Golden City even if the criminal was under the protection of the Golden City.

"Let CP0 assist in the investigation! They are better at this."

Saint Satan suggested.

"No! The fewer people who know about this, the better! Let us, the Knights of God, take full responsibility for the investigation!"

Jialin Sheng refused without any room for negotiation and turned to walk out the door.

"The Knights of God will definitely find out the truth. At the same time, I also hope that my colleagues can give me a clear attitude..."

With his front foot already out of the goal frame, Jialin Sheng turned around and asked.

"If this matter is really related to Tezulo..."

The Five Elders looked at each other and then nodded. Saint Satan closed his eyes and said calmly.

"The Golden City will no longer exist!!"
