Chapter 82: 5 Old Stars

Chapter 83, Section 82: The Five Elders

In the Authority Room of Pangaea, Mary Geoise, on the Red Line.

"The CP and the Navy are all near Punk Hazard, and they've lost track of Zephyr's fleet."

"Scientific Defense God of War Jegarcia Saturn, sitting on his green leather gold chair, said expressionlessly."

Sitting on the same golden green sofa as Financial God of War Esambaren V. Nusjuro, Legal God of War Topman Valkuri glanced at Saturn: "Why did you lose track of him near Punk Hazard? Saint Saturn, if I remember correctly, Punk Hazard is a scientific experimental base that the World Government has designated in its future plans, right?"

"It's one thing for the Navy to be so bad, but why would even the CP members lose track of their target in a place so close to the Red Line, which is also a key area of ​​focus for the World Government?"

"What utter dereliction of duty! Saturn Saint, you really need to discipline him. Both the Navy and CP need to reflect on this!"

Saturn closed his eyes to rest and did not respond.

The only one of the Five Elders standing, Marcus Mars, the Environmental War God, looked around at the other four Five Elders who were seated, and then slowly said, "Punk Hazard is not far from the Red Line, nor is it far from Fishman Island. The disappearance of the Zephyr fleet is very likely related to Fishman Island."

"After all, the sun flag of the Kingdom of Jaya has already been raised over the Dragon Palace."

"Among the current maritime powers, only the Kingdom of Jaya has the money and land to give Zefa the confidence to allow a soon-to-be-promoted vice admiral to leave the navy with his subordinates."

Saturn Saint scoffed upon hearing this, picking up where Mars Saint left off: "What can we do about it?"

"The Kingdom of Jaya already controls at least one-third of the world's gold, and the wealth accumulated on Jaya Island is probably comparable to the World Government's treasury!"

"A weak regime like Fishman Island will naturally bow down to the powerful forces that control the finances, won't you agree, sir? Financial God of War, Nusjuro Saint?"

As the only one of the Five Elders to wear a white robe instead of a suit, Saint Nusjuro twirled the first generation Kitetsu sword and adjusted his round-framed glasses with the hilt: "The gold on Jaya Island was plundered from all over the world by the Gold Bandit Orikum Oro using the Gold-Gold Fruit, and has nothing to do with the financial system dominated by the World Government."

"But Saturn Saint and Peter Saint, as the God of Scientific Defense and the God of Agricultural Defense respectively, you are in full charge of matters related to Devil Fruits. Yet, after all these years, many powerful Devil Fruits are still scattered abroad. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Hey, hey, Saint Nusjuro."

Zhu Peter, the agricultural martial god shepherd who had been sitting on the sidelines watching the show, finally spoke up when the fire was about to burn him: "My hard work over the years has earned the unanimous recognition of everyone, from top to bottom. Shame? I have no need to be ashamed."

After saying this, Peter Saint stopped talking. Today's main characters are the God of Scientific Defense and the God of Financial Martial Arts. The incident occurred in their respective areas of authority, and it has nothing to do with him.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the four elders are currently divided into two factions, one of which is neutral. They might just turn on each other in an instant if the topic changes.

Valkuri Saint snorted coldly: "Everyone knows who has failed in their duty, and it's not just one person who has failed in their duty today!"

"Saint Mars, as the Environmental War God, you still haven't figured out the sudden explosion in the New World Sea?"

""

Saint Mars glanced coldly at Saint Valkuli, speaking slowly and deliberately: "At the center of the explosion, there used to be a medium-sized uninhabited island, which has completely disappeared after the explosion, and there are absolutely no clues at the scene."

"The scale of this unknown explosion far exceeds all related records in the history of world governments."

"An explosion of this power, if it were man-made—Saturn Saint, this is the domain of the God of Scientific Defense, and as the God of Environmental Defense, I cannot overstep my authority."

Saturn Saint opened his eyes and turned to Nusjuro Saint: "If we were to create an explosion of this scale, we would need to purchase a large number of dangerous goods."

"But the Financial Monitoring Department has not issued any relevant reports. As the God of War who oversees the financial sector, how do you intend to explain this?"

Nusjuro Saint glanced back at Saturn Saint, his tone calm and his words clear: "The incompetence of the Financial Monitoring Department is entirely due to the Rocks Pirates' constant plundering. The security of the World Government's member states cannot be guaranteed, so naturally they have no intention of carrying out financial monitoring."

"Saturn Saint, as the God of Scientific Defense, you are not only unable to deal with the Rocks Pirates, but also unable to protect the safety of the World Government member states."

"We are still completely unaware of the mysterious forces that attacked Beehive Island. This is a serious dereliction of duty!"

Saturn Saint slammed his cane down with a loud thud: "What the King needs is balance! Balance among all the powers on the sea!"

"Without the Rocks Pirates to check and balance things, the Jaya Unova Kingdom would be completely dominant! They would even control the trade in the New World!"

Nusjuro Sei held the first generation of Kitetsu and stopped talking. He even brought up the word "King". What else could he say?

Moreover, Saturn's use of the word "King" is enough to demonstrate the other party's incompetence; they can only resort to such tactics to silence others.

Silence fell over the room. After looking around once more, Mars Saint finally released his hands, which had been behind his back, and said leisurely, "Now that all the matters on today's agenda have been discussed, let's begin voting on the handling level of the relevant affairs between the Rocks Pirates and the Jaya United Kingdom."

"Those who support taking the lead in handling matters related to the Kingdom of Gaya, please raise your hands."

Only the financial god of war, Nusjuro, raised his hand.

"One vote in favor. So, those who agree to take the lead in handling matters related to the Rocks Pirates, please raise your hands."

"Four votes in favor, overwhelmingly passed."

"The decision has been made; from now on, we will prioritize dealing with matters related to the Rocks Pirates. Does anyone have any further questions?"

Nusjuro frowned, the wrinkles almost spreading to the top of his bald head. He spoke with some displeasure and a slightly warning tone: "It is unwise to indulge the Kingdom of Gaya of Orikum Oro in this way."

"The combined military and trade fleets of the Kingdom of Jaya have exceeded ten thousand!"

"The commercial trade in the Paradise Seas, the first half of the Grand Line, along with the West Blue and South Blue, is almost monopolized by the Skysea Trading Company of the United Kingdom!"

"Are you really going to continue this indulgence?!"

Saturn Saint stood up, his tone disdainful: "Orichum Oro is just a kid playing house using the power of the Gold-Gold Fruit."

"How can someone who doesn't understand that only by having force can one protect wealth compare to the threat of the Rocks Pirates?"

"Even 1 ants are just ants; a single fire can burn them to ashes."

"Financial God of War, the mere existence of the other party is proof of your dereliction of duty, so your inability to distinguish between what is important and what is wrong with you is truly unbecoming, Saint Nusjuro."

"you!"
