The World Government Reform Plan!

While Imu was grappling with the "greatest" case of decision paralysis in history within the Chamber of the Moon.

The Five Elders, also within Pangaea Castle, were seated around the sofas in the Room of Authority, collectively silent.

They were digesting the vast amount of information they had just received from the "World Government Reform Plan Direction" document. The content was extensive, and the scale of the changes was startling.

After nearly thirty minutes of silence, Topman Warcury Saint, seated in the main position, was the first to speak: "I assume everyone has thought it through. Let me start by sharing my thoughts."

"Very well, since Lord Imu's reform plan primarily targets your Administrative Council and..." Marcus Mars Saint glanced at Jaygarcia Saturn Saint beside him.

"And my Judiciary Council, correct?" The latter smiled with noticeable delight.

The former simply nodded. According to Lord Imu's plan, the size and influence of the Judiciary Council would significantly increase.

"In that case, let me discuss the Administrative Council," Topman Warcury Saint took over the conversation.

"According to this plan, the first step is to incorporate outstanding talents in administration and finance from various countries into the World Government. We will also strongly support the expansion of relevant professional schools, allowing these individuals to research the specifics of the Administrative Council's reform."

"The document specifically mentions several heavy industrial nations in the North Sea. This matter requires investigation by your Cipher Pol."

Shepherd Ju Peter Saint nodded, "No problem, I will ensure CP4 takes this seriously."

"Good."

Topman Warcury Saint continued, "Lord Imu's reform requirements this time seem more about refinement and expansion. Previously, the Administrative Council only had an Administrative Department, which assigned tasks to various field groups."

"Now, these groups have been elevated to bureau-level departments. Although they still fall under the Administrative Department, they are now officially recognized as formal departments. Additionally, we have added the Bureau of Religion, Bureau of Health, and Bureau of Education."

"The Bureau of Religion will manage and oversee all religious organizations, ensuring that all religions, big and small, are standardized."

"The Bureau of Health will handle all matters related to healthcare, medicine, and diseases worldwide. This includes medical schools under construction, as well as all hospitals, pharmacies, and medical personnel, which will now be regulated."

"Finally, the Bureau of Education..." Here, he hesitated slightly before continuing.

"Will be responsible for all educational institutions, supporting and establishing various schools. It will also urge and support member nations to build schools, ensuring that all citizens of member nations receive basic literacy and mathematics education."

With each statement, Topman Warcury Saint could foresee that these departments would require a large number of personnel and consume vast amounts of money.

Honestly, he was puzzled. Why would the World Government undertake such costly and labor-intensive tasks? But he dared not voice his doubts or ask questions.

However, he wasn't particularly opposed to it either. If the reform proceeded as planned, the Administrative Council would grow several times its current size, effectively increasing his own power.

To begin with, the Religious Affairs Division is bound to become a colossal entity in the future, given the sheer number of people worldwide who follow religious beliefs.

"Sigh, it's quite a challenge. The Government Affairs Office requires so many personnel!" Marcus Mars Saint lamented, though deep down, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy.

In the reform documents, while there were mentions of the Science Force and the department overseeing historical matters under his jurisdiction, they paled in comparison to the Government Affairs Office and the Court of Justice.

The truth was, despite the addition of Dr. Vegapunk, the Science Force hadn't produced any particularly noteworthy mature projects, making its presence rather weak.

"And then there's the space issue. I counted, and according to the new structure, there are a full twelve divisions under the Administrative Department. The office space needed for so many people won't be small!" Jaygarcia Saturn Saint chimed in.

Topman Warcury Saint wholeheartedly agreed with this point.

With so many people, it was impossible to house them all in Mary Geoise.

After all, this was the 'Holy Land of the World.' What would it become if it turned too chaotic?

Previously, the World Government had fewer officials, which was manageable, but that wouldn't be the case in the future.

At that moment, Shepherd Ju Peter Saint suddenly spoke up.

"Isn't it written in the document? Find a place on the Red Line Continent to build a new headquarters for the World Government. In the future, Mary Geoise will solely serve as the residence for the Celestial Dragons and the venue for the Levely."

He was probably the most relaxed person at the moment, as the reform didn't mention Cipher Pol at all. To be honest, this was both a relief and a bit disappointing.

Meanwhile, upon hearing this, Topman Warcury Saint, Marcus Mars Saint, and Jaygarcia Saturn Saint quickly picked up the documents again and skimmed through them, indeed finding the content he referred to.

The truth was, there were just too many documents, and they were feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"But for eight hundred years, the Red Line Continent has only had Mary Geoise as its city. Isn't this..." Marcus Mars Saint hesitated.

As he was in charge of historical matters, he was particularly sensitive and attentive to this aspect. He felt that this somewhat disrupted the rules passed down through generations.

Once this new World Government headquarters is built, the number of people will surely exceed a hundred thousand, right?

Isn't that essentially a city? "Since this is Lord Imu's intention, I don't think there's a need for discussion. To put it bluntly, what guarantees our Celestial Dragons' status and privileges isn't these superficial rules, but absolute combat power and military strength."

Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro Saint, who had remained silent until now, spoke up, his expressionless gaze sweeping over the four seated individuals.

"In my view, this reform plan not only expands the scale of the World Government but also broadens its scope of authority. This essentially means it's becoming stronger, and the Government Affairs Office's influence is growing!"

"Exchanging these inexhaustible funds and the nominal title of the only city on the Red Line Continent for substantial power and strength—is there any more profitable deal than this?"

His words left Marcus Mars Saint in silence, while the other three nodded in agreement, especially Topman Warcury Saint, whose lips curled up, clearly in a good mood.

"Then it's settled. Once Cipher Pol completes its intelligence gathering, we'll begin recruiting talents from various nations. At the same time, the Administrative Department will start looking for a location to build the World Government headquarters!"

With four years at our disposal, no matter what we do, it will be more than sufficient.

"Next is my Court of Justice. Who would have thought that Lord Imu would place such importance on the judicial field!"

Jaygarcia Saturn Saint happily tapped his cane.

"The reform of the Supreme Court isn't significant, only some department names have changed. The focus is on the Judicial Department, which requires us to recruit legal talents from various countries to revise outdated legal provisions that have been in place for centuries. Additionally, the Bounty Department, originally under the Navy, has been transferred to us."

This Bounty Department is primarily responsible for discussing, deliberating, and determining the bounties of criminals, as well as issuing official bounty posters!

Regarding this, the bald elder in charge of the military had no objections, as he only valued the combat strength of the army. Issuing bounties was something he considered optional.

At this point, Shepherd Ju Peter Saint interjected with a smile, "I think Lord Imu transferring Impel Down to the jurisdiction of the Judicial Department is a big deal. However, the salaries and maintenance costs of Impel Down will also have to be covered by you."

"Hahaha, our Court of Justice has more than enough funds for that!"

Jaygarcia Saturn Saint laughed, then glanced at Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro Saint sitting across from him.

After all, Impel Down had always been a department directly under the Navy.

Yet, Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro Saint nodded in support, saying, "I think it's excellent. Impel Down is originally meant for detaining criminals. Having the Court of Justice take charge of overseeing the prisoners is perfectly reasonable."

In the end, he still looked down on the jailers of Impel Down. Moreover, this move would save the annual allocation of funds from the Navy's budget. The combat strength of Impel Down was indeed limited. Although it was an armed force, it was a different matter compared to the military used for warfare. However, he also sensed some of Lord Imu's intentions—this was a deliberate move to reduce the Navy's scope of power.

"Lastly, there's this newly established Police Affairs Department, which is on the same level as the Supreme Court and the Judicial Department. I find it quite interesting."

Topman Warcury Saint said to Jaygarcia Saturn Saint with a smile.
