One Piece: Start as a mythical beast, practice to become stronger
Chapter 348 There Can Only Be One Voice in the World
In a temporary meeting room in Mary Geoise, the atmosphere was so solemn that even the air seemed to be frozen.
The Five Elders and all the Knights of God gathered together, their faces as gloomy as water.
There was not much decoration in the meeting room, only cold stone walls and a long conference table, but at this moment, this simple environment seemed particularly oppressive.
Izambalon V. Nasujuro slowly stood up, his brows furrowed, his hands tightly grasping the documents on the table, his voice low and full of suppressed anger:
"Marijoa suffered huge losses during the attack this time. Pangu City needs to be rebuilt, which is an immeasurable financial burden. What's more serious is that Lord Yimu was forced to do it himself, which has already highlighted our dereliction of duty."
After he finished speaking, there was silence in the conference room, and everyone was chewing on the seriousness behind his words.
As the God of Finance, Izambaron V. Nasujuro knew best that the loss this incident brought to the World Government was not only financial, but also a shaken authority.
Saint Jaygolucia Satan raised his head coldly, his eyes sweeping across everyone present like ice blades.
His voice was like the cold wind in winter, chilling to the bone:
"What's even more shameful is that the guy disappeared without a trace right under our noses. This is a naked provocation and a trampling on our prestige."
His anger burst out uncontrollably, his clenched fists turned pale, and it seemed that he could smash the table in front of him at any time.
Every member of the Five Elder Stars is a symbol of power, but at this moment, their faces are filled with anger and unwillingness.
They had rarely experienced such a sense of failure in their lives, and had never imagined that one day they would be humiliated like this on their own turf.
Although the members of the Knights of God did not speak, everyone's face was extremely gloomy.
As the strongest force protecting the World Government, they shouldered an irreplaceable responsibility, but they failed to perform their duties in this incident, which made them feel deeply ashamed and angry.
The silence lasted for a moment, but it seemed like decades had passed.
Izambalon V. Nasujuro's eyes flashed with dangerous light. He took a deep breath, as if suppressing the anger in his heart, but his voice was still filled with an undisguised chill:
"We cannot let this failure shake our foundation. We must rebuild Pangu City as soon as possible and restore the dignity of Mary Geoise. At the same time, we must find that mysterious man at all costs!"
"He must pay a heavy price for this offense." Saint Jaygolucia Satan took over the conversation and said coldly.
Every word seemed to be fished out of an ice cellar, carrying a bone-chilling chill.
Everyone present knew that this incident was not only a challenge to their authority, but also a severe shake to the foundations of the world government.
If the situation is not brought under control in time, cracks will appear in the order they have established, and these cracks will be devastating.
The captain of the Knights of God nodded slightly, his eyes cold and sharp:
"We will continue to track down that person and will not let go of any details."
His voice was low and resolute, as if he had made up his mind to do it at all costs.
As these words fell, the conference room fell silent again, but this time there was a suffocating sense of oppression hidden in the silence.
The voice of Saint Jaygolusia Satan cut through the silence like ice:
"There is another thing. The war between the G5 branch and the pirates is over."
When the others heard this, they all frowned.
They were not surprised by the news because they had already received relevant intelligence.
But because of this, the disappointment and dissatisfaction in their hearts became more and more obvious.
Originally, they had envisioned an outcome in which both sides would suffer losses, or at best, both would be severely damaged and no longer be able to pose a threat to the World Government.
However, the reality deviated from their expectations.
Topman Vochuli calmly placed a document on the table with a cold look:
"The Navy has appointed Jin An as acting admiral. This is the material they submitted. What do you think?"
The document was gently pushed to the center of the conference table. Everyone was silent, their eyes lingering on the document for a moment.
They knew that the Navy had a great deal of autonomy in nominating and appointing important positions. Although the Five Elders were the highest symbols of power in the World Government, they were more of a consultant on these matters.
The final decision still lies with the Navy.
A trace of disdain flashed across Jaygolucia Satansheng's face, and his voice was obviously cold:
"They have made their decision, what suggestions can we make?"
He said this almost through gritted teeth, unable to conceal the disappointment in his heart.
He did not hide his ill will towards Jinan.
In fact, this malice has long been deeply rooted.
Jin'an's presence made him feel inexplicably uneasy and threatened. This feeling had been around for a long time, but he could never explain its root cause.
Perhaps it was because of Jin An's ability, perhaps it was because of his unpredictable background, or perhaps it was because of his indomitable spirit. In short, Jin An's existence made him extremely unhappy.
"I didn't expect that the two great pirates couldn't kill him."
He continued coldly, his tone filled with deep regret and reluctance.
The expressions of the other Five Elders in the meeting room also varied.
Izambalon V. Nasujuro frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, with a heavy look in his eyes.
The other sighed softly, seeming helpless about the outcome.
They knew in their hearts that Jin An's existence and his rise was not just a matter of strong combat power, but could also become an unpredictable variable in the future.
Although the navy is just a tool to maintain order in their eyes, the Five Elders will naturally feel a little uneasy when the tool begins to have its own will and power.
However, no matter how dissatisfied or unwilling they were, the decision of the Navy had already been made.
For the Five Elder Stars, it is more about how to control the overall situation in the existing situation and ensure that the authority of the World Government is not shaken.
All of this made the atmosphere in the conference room even more depressing, like the calm before the storm.
Jaygolucia Satansheng's eyes finally fixed on the documents on the table and he smiled coldly:
"This game of chess seems to be getting more and more interesting."
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes. Instead, there was a chilling coldness in his eyes.
"It's just that they are all just pawns."
"There can only be and must be only one voice in the world, and that is the World Government!"
Everything they do is just to consolidate the rule of the world government.
As for those civilians, navy, and pirates, they are just tools, and they don't care about their lives.
"Then just give the Navy a reply..."
