While Luo Tian was chatting with Tom and the others, CP9 members had already been lying in wait outside, quietly relaying every word of the conversation back to the organization.

This intelligence was like a bombshell, quickly reaching the ears of the Navy's top brass and the mysterious and powerful Five Elders.

Upon receiving the news, the Five Elders immediately engaged in tense discussions.

They were familiar with the name Luo Tian, ​​especially when they learned that he might be in charge of the legendary Hades, which made them feel an unprecedented threat.

"If this person really obtains Hades, it will be a disaster for us!"

One of the Five Elders spoke with a solemn expression.

Another of the Five Elders chimed in:

"That's right, we must not believe his words about destroying Hades. If Hades falls into his hands, it would pose too great a threat to the government."

After intense discussion and weighing the pros and cons, the Five Elders finally made up their minds and issued the most cruel demon-slaying order to Luo Tianxia.

Meanwhile, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, far away at the Navy Headquarters, received the order via Den Den Mushi (a type of electric telephone).

Upon hearing that the Demon Slayer Order was to be carried out against Luo Tian in the City of Seven Waters, Sengoku frowned, a surge of anger rising within him.

He shouted back at the Den Den Mushi, "Does that mean we can just ignore the innocent people in Water Seven?"

However, the Five Elders gave a cold response from the other end of the phone:

"Leave the people's affairs to your navy; we'll only care about the results!"

After saying that, he hung up the Den Den Mushi without any hesitation.

Sengoku angrily put down the Den Den Mushi, feeling dissatisfied but helpless.

Faced with the strong orders from the Five Elders, he knew he could not disobey.

After a moment of contemplation, he summoned three marines—Kuzan, Sakazuki, and Borsalino.

The three hurried into the office, where Sengoku announced with a serious expression:

"I have just received orders from the Five Elders to issue a demon-slaying order. The target is the Seven Waters City, and the target is Luo Tian. I hope you can get there as soon as possible. The primary task is to evacuate the city's residents. Of course, if possible, it would be best to wait until Luo Tian goes to sea before launching an attack to avoid causing too many civilian casualties."

The three generals exchanged glances, nodded, indicating that they understood the importance and urgency of the mission, and summoned their subordinates to prepare for departure.

On the other side, Luo Tian looked helplessly at Tom, who was unyielding and resolute. He knew that continuing the stalemate would not yield any results.

After some thought, Luo Tian decided to take Dan away from here temporarily and find another way.

Before turning to leave, Luo Tian stopped, looked back at Tom intently, and then slowly said:

“Mr. Tom, we have come here with the utmost sincerity to resolve this issue, but since we cannot reach a consensus at present, my companions and I will stay in this area for a few days. During this time, we hope that you can carefully consider the conditions we have proposed and give us a satisfactory answer.”

"Brother, I hope you can think about this carefully."

After saying these words, Luo Tian took Dan and left without looking back.

Tom stood quietly, watching Luo Tian walk further and further away until he disappeared from his sight.

After Luo Tian had completely disappeared, he let out a long sigh and began to fall into deep thought.

In fact, Tom was very clear about the immense value and potential dangers contained in that Hades blueprint.

As Luo Tian said, this blueprint is a hot potato. If not handled properly, it could bring endless trouble or even disaster.

Deep down, Tom did consider destroying the Pluto blueprints. This would prevent them from falling into the hands of malicious people and causing unpredictable consequences, while also freeing himself from this heavy burden.

However, whenever he thought about destroying something so precious and significant with his own hands, his heart would tremble involuntarily, and an indescribable feeling of reluctance would well up in his heart...

The next morning, sunlight shone through the thin clouds and fell softly on the earth.

Luo Tian hurriedly stepped into the city again, but what he saw before him shocked him – the city's residents were hurriedly dragging large and small bags, fleeing towards the outskirts of the city.

A sense of foreboding welled up in Luo Tian's heart. Without stopping, he led Dan straight to Tom's shipyard.

Before we even got close, we could hear a commotion coming from inside.

As soon as Luo Tian entered the shipyard, he saw Tom sweating profusely as he directed the workers to move various tools and materials.

"Tom, what's going on? Why is everyone evacuating?"

Luo Tian asked anxiously.

Tom stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said with a serious expression:

"Luo Tian, ​​this is terrible! The Buster Order has been issued! The Navy is coming soon, and this place will soon be a wasteland!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Tian was startled and asked suspiciously, "The Demon-Slaying Order? How could this happen so suddenly? We haven't done anything yet!"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Luo Tian's mind, and he widened his eyes and said:

"Could it be... because those people thought I came to steal the blueprints for Hades? But even so, it shouldn't warrant the use of the Buster Call! Besides, there are so many innocent residents on this island!"

"Are all the people in the World Government out of their minds? They're so prone to fantasizing."

Tom hurriedly packed his things while urging:

"Stop thinking about it, Luo Tian, ​​let's go! It'll be too late if we wait any longer!"

Just then, Luo Tian inadvertently caught a glimpse of a yellowed design sketch among a pile of odds and ends that Tom was tidying up.

A thought struck him, and he pointed to the design book, asking:

"Tom, is this the blueprint for Hades?"

Tom's expression changed. He didn't answer Luo Tian's question, but instead quickened his pace, trying to hide the design.

Luo Tian reacted quickly, rushing forward and snatching the design from Tom's hands.

Upon seeing the situation, Dan quickly patted his chest and assured Tom:

"Don't worry, bro! Leave this to us! Although my captain might seem a bit unreliable most of the time, he's actually very dependable when it really matters!"

After saying that, Dan gave Luo Tian a wink.

Luo Tian nodded slightly, then focused his mind and instantly unleashed his unique ability.

With a flash of light, Luo Tian and Dan's figures vanished from the spot like ghosts.

Tom looked at the spot where the two had just been and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Sigh, I hope you can resolve this Buster Call."

He silently prayed that Luo Tian and Dan could successfully resolve this sudden crisis and ensure everyone's safety.
