"Then it is time to begin..." One of the Gorosei said as the others nodded in agreement.
"Yes..." With that, they all decided to proceed with the plan.
All the kings watched with curiosity, wondering what they were talking about, as the Gorosei picked up a Den Den Mushi and began pointing it toward an area in front of the tables where everyone could see.
"What is this, Gorosei-sama?" one of the kings asked, while the others looked around, wondering what was happening. Makino, Kaya, Genzo, and many others had their eyes fixed directly on the projection, which was being turned on, though they still didn't know exactly what was about to happen.
Then, the image started to appear, revealing a location in the middle of the sea under the night sky.
"What place is this?" one of the kings cautiously inquired.
The sky then began to light up as explosions echoed, and a laughter rang out across the heavens.
"Hahahahaha!"
The laughter made all the elders grimace, wondering whose voice it was.
"We should have killed her when she was sent to Impel Down before the Marineford war..." Saint Marcus Mars commented.
"Too late to bring that up. But we still have this counterattack; this threat will be eliminated along with her brother. We've invested a lot of time and resources into this attack, and it's time to see the results," Saint Shepherd Ju Peter added.
The other elders nodded, saying no more as they turned their attention to the kings and nobles, who were looking at them with questioning expressions.
"We are showing you Wano," Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro explained.
"What?! The place where the war between the Yonkou is happening? Is that why you said we would discuss this later?" exclaimed a king from one of the Blues, evidently aware of the conflict involving the Straw Hats against Big Mom and Kaido.
"Yes... we postponed this discussion because we wanted to show you something. After all, with the end of the Shichibukai program, we are theoretically weakening the government's power..." They began to speak, leaving everyone in the room with varied expressions.
"What do you mean? Are you saying there's something to replace them?" another king asked.
"Yes... we have been developing a program with Vegapunk's help for over five years, though we had to accelerate it within the last year. It was originally supposed to be ready three years from now, but due to the urgency, we're introducing this operation to you tonight," Saint Topman Warcury said.
"And what is it...?" Queen Kaya asked, her tone filled with concern.
"We have a weapon unlike anything we've ever created before. We call it the android programs: Seraphim and Pacifista V2," Saint Marcus Mars revealed.
"What are these programs?" The question came quickly as everyone was stunned by the revelation of these new government weapons.
"The Pacifistas have received an upgrade to their systems. After collecting data during our attack on the Straw Hats over two months ago, we incorporated their combat styles and powers into the system, allowing us to counter them much more effectively than we have in the past," Saint Shepherd Ju Peter said, pausing briefly.
"The Seraphim are clones of the former Shichibukai. Since we possess their genetic data, we have even replicated their Devil Fruit powers and created multiple clones of them," Saint Shepherd Ju Peter continued, as the room grew increasingly shocked by the implications of his words.
"The androids were the last to be developed. They are a force of CP agents, all modified to use top-tier techniques and equipped with all the data we've embedded in the Pacifistas. They also have special abilities to predict attacks, making them far more efficient than the Pacifistas," he added.
"How many of these... things are we talking about?" Genzo asked, swallowing hard as he imagined the kind of power they were discussing. Nami and Nojiko could be in danger.
"We dispatched 1,000 ships, but only 800 are heading to Wano. Each ship carries two Pacifistas, meaning 1,600 Pacifistas are on their way to Wano, along with 100 Seraphim and 200 androids," he said, as the entire room seemed to gulp in unison.
This was an absurd number, far greater than what was used in the war, and the Gorosei were well aware of it. This was a power greater than the entire navy, but due to the weakening of the organization and the loss in the last war, the World Government decided to spend more resources than ever in its history.
They had strengthened themselves to the point of no longer needing to rely on the navy. After all, they now had soldiers who would follow their orders without question. Nothing in the world could defy them.
"A force like this... could destroy an entire Blue..." someone murmured, as everyone seemed quite terrified upon hearing such a thing.
"Yes... but it is a necessary force to eliminate all the threats in this world. We have allowed the pirates to do as they please ever since the rise of the former Pirate King. We can no longer tolerate such forces emerging at sea. It's time to prove the power of the World Government..." one of them said in a somber tone.
"So you plan to eliminate the three Yonkou at this moment?" someone asked.
"Not yet... as you can see, their battle is happening as we speak. Although we don't know exactly what is going on there, we are waiting for things to settle... We are waiting for them to be at their weakest to strike," the Gorosei explained.
"I see... that sounds very promising!" The kings did not hesitate to declare their sovereignty, eager to see these monsters of the sea finally eliminated. Although some in the room looked on with worried and somber expressions, most viewed the Yonkou as a scourge, and the majority seemed excited by the government's demonstration. However, a few knew they disliked the government's power, especially now that it was too overwhelming to be trusted in their hands. Today, it was the pirates; tomorrow, it could be them.
"We look forward to seeing this," said one queen, smiling broadly as she watched the screen, which still displayed the night sky illuminated by flashes of attacks on the horizon.
"Wait, you said you sent 1,000 ships, but only 800 went to Wano... What happened to the other 200?" Queen Makino asked cautiously, directing her question to the elders.
"We were just about to address that. Well, activate the second screen," one of the four said seriously. He gestured, signaling for another display to be turned on.
Some staff quickly set up the Den Den Mushi and complied with the request. Soon, a second screen lit up on the wall, showing another location. But everyone could tell it was the same night sky in the New World.
"Is that...?" someone murmured, recognizing Dressrosa alongside other islands in the foreground.
"Yes, we will launch another attack on Dressrosa, along with other kingdoms that have declared themselves no longer affiliated with the World Government," one of the elders explained. "Therefore, we will deal with them as well. After all, they are part of the pirate group..."
The firm tone left everyone a bit surprised. In addition to targeting pirates, the World Government would retaliate against kingdoms that were no longer part of its fold. Although the Fish-Man Island and the Kingdom of Alabasta, which had also refused to attend the Reverie, were not mentioned explicitly, the primary target was clearly the territory under the Straw Hat flag in the New World.
"Do you intend to destroy Dressrosa?" someone asked, concerned. It was evident no one wanted to see a kingdom destroyed simply for declaring independence.
"We do not intend to destroy them, if that's what you're worried about," one of the Gorosei replied coldly. "But we will eliminate all pirates under the Straw Hat flag, along with the royal family, as traitors. We will take over the kingdom and appoint a new king to rule."
At that moment, the screen showed another impressive fleet of over 200 ships advancing toward the cluster of islands that Luffy had claimed as his territory, with Bepo using the power of the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi to keep them afloat.
"You intend to attack Dressrosa at this moment?" someone asked the leader, as the ships continued to advance at full speed toward Dressrosa.
"Yes. We have no reason to delay. After all, their greatest forces are in Wano..." Saint Topman Warcury responded firmly.
Picking up a Den Den Mushi, he issued the command: "Commence the attack." Saint Topman Warcury gave the order without hesitation.
"Yes, sir!" a voice responded from the other side of the line. Quickly, the attack began.
While Dressrosa, along with all the islands under the Straw Hat flag, seemed to be their primary target, on the second screen, which was still active, intense flashes suddenly started to appear. An explosive sound filled the air as the night sky turned yellow, illuminated by a clash of Haki greater than any before. The kings were awestruck by the sight, but the Gorosei narrowed their eyes at the unfolding situation.
"Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, what is happening?" Saint Shepherd Ju Peter Monte asked.
Saturn, who was still hidden in another room, responded:
"It seems the final clash has begun. But there are two of them happening... It could be Big Mom and Kaido against the Straw Hats... We're not entirely sure."
"I see. Very well, prepare for battle," Ju Peter replied.
All the troops aboard the ships shown on the screen began to mobilize. For the first time, the Seraphim, Androids, Pacifistas, and even some other individuals appeared on the scene. They were unfamiliar to anyone, drawing more questioning glances.
"These are the Holy Knights, the elite force of the World Government. As you can see, we will not accept any outcome other than the destruction of the Straw Hats and the other pirates. We will eliminate, once and for all, this scourge that haunts the world!" someone declared firmly.
"If they continue advancing through the New World, a global war could erupt. But this World Government is committed to maintaining order, peace, and, with that, we will eliminate all those who stand in our way," the speaker continued, directing their gaze at the kings and queens present. It was as if a direct message was being delivered to them as well: 'Dare to defy us and see what will happen to you.'
The kings and queens exchanged tense glances as they watched the two screens. One displayed the attack on Dressrosa already underway, while the other revealed preparations for another battle. Everything pointed to the final fight between Luffy and the two Yonkou nearing its conclusion.
The World Government was finally asserting its sovereignty. The Five Elders had been planning this for over a year. All the intelligence they had gathered and the resources they had expended culminated in this day. At last, they had the chance to eliminate the World Government's most significant targets.
Both the second coming of Joy Boy, confirmed through the broadcast, and Monkey D. Luffy, who had become uncontrollable and extraordinarily powerful, would be eradicated. Everything would end tonight, and they were putting all their chips on this moment.
