Chapter 203: Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's Doubt!
Chapter 203: Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's Doubt!
In the Holy Land Mariejois, within the Room of Authority in Pangaea Castle, the Five Elders were gathered together yet again.
To be honest, the number of meetings they had held this year was somewhat frequent. In the past, there weren't so many matters; everyone handled their own affairs and enjoyed peaceful times.
Actually, from an official standpoint, this type of meeting has a very formal name: the Supreme Executive Committee, because the official title of the Five Elders is Supreme Executive Committee Member.
In addition, there are five Ministers of Affairs, the Dean of the Five Great Branches, and five Chiefs of Staff, who together form this department representing the world's highest Authority.
The Ministers of Affairs are essentially Five Elders Candidate, so sometimes the positions are filled, and sometimes they are empty, depending entirely on when Lord Imu designates the Candidate.
The Five Great Branches Dean are responsible for the practical affairs of the Political Affairs Department, the Judiciary, the Proclamation Government Institute, the Supreme Military Command, and the CIPHER POL Headquarters, acting like general managers.
After all, the Big Shot couldn't possibly sit at their desks personally burying themselves in countless Document, could they?
The five Chiefs of Staff, on the other hand, serve as the Five Elders Secretary-General. They need to manage their subordinate secretaries to relay the Five Elders' various Order to the Dean of each branch and manage the Directly Subordinate Department that is not under the jurisdiction of the Five Great Branches.
Although these individuals are nominally qualified to attend such supreme meetings, in reality, no one would awkwardly intrude unless the Five Elders called them over to listen.
unless the Five Elders called them over to listen.
"The Situation in the Kabaneri World is basically clear. There is nothing that can threaten our Combat Power. Only the Kabaneri Virus needs attention; we must not let it spread here."
Saint Topman Warcury, as usual, was the first to Speak and preside over the meeting. His Expression remained meticulous, giving off a very serious feeling.
"So for the next Matter, we can act more freely. First, occupy Kongokaku and, while we're at it, bring the Shogunate under Control!"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, holding Shodai Kitetsu, seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but upon hearing the words, he said in a deep voice, "We have no problem on our side. Crocodile leading a thousand Elite Army soldiers is enough. The key is that your Administrative Department is too slow. When can you arrive at Iwato Station?"
As the highest BOSS of the Three Forces, he was the Five Elders present who was least intimidated by Saint Topman Warcury. Only he could Speak such words, which were almost accusatory.
Saint Topman Warcury looked over with displeasure.
"You are only responsible for taking it down and the subsequent garrisoning, while we are responsible for the Development of the entire World. Matter in all aspects involves almost all departments."
"Unified Currency, Unified Legal System, mining Resources, Product Dumping, cultivating farmland, building Shipyard, Hospital, School, Bank, Police Stations, Prison, and the Regeneration of Kabane Resources – aren't all these Matter the responsibility of our Political Affairs Department? Naturally, we need more preparation Time."
Hearing this, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn hadn't said anything yet, but Jaygarcia Saturn Saint became displeased and reminded him, "Law, Police Stations, Prison – these are Matter for our Judiciary, but they need to wait until your Political Affairs Department's work is done."
Ever since the Ministry of Police Affairs gained a basic structure and even acquired Dragon himself to oversee it, this gentleman's Posture had straightened considerably, and his Speaking voice had become much louder.
Including Magellan, Magellan, Moria, and Tarklama in Impel Down, and waiting a few more years, their Judiciary would finally have a group of Expert supporting them.
"Hmph, anyway, hurry up. Finish dealing with the Kabaneri World as soon as possible so Crocodile and Bullet can return quickly!"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn also had his Temper. After urging them, he ignored Saint Topman Warcury, who could only suppress his dissatisfaction speechlessly and began to talk about the topic of this meeting.
"Regarding the Kabaneri World Matter, we already made plans before. Our subordinates will naturally carry them out step by step. We just need to wait patiently."
"What we need to discuss this time is Lord Imu's Decision to designate all Kingdom in our World as Affiliated Countries!"
Saint Marcus Mars looked over in confusion, "What is there to discuss about this? Wasn't it announced to the World through Stella?"
"That can only be considered an advance notice. The formal Official Communiqué hasn't been issued yet." Saint Topman Warcury Shake Head and sighed, "Because there are two Troublemaker stuck before this Communique."
"Troublemaker?"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn opened his eyes. His sharp gaze looked extremely assertive. He cold-snorted, "Is there anything that can obstruct Lord Imu's Order from being implemented?"
"Wano Country, Elbaf."
Saint Topman Warcury expressionlessly stated the names of the two countries. Upon hearing this, the Room of Authority became extremely silent. Everyone, including Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, frowned and pondered.
"Once our Communique is issued, it means that all Kingdom must fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of Affiliated Countries."
"The payment of Heavenly Tribute, obeying the World Government's Order, and the Police System currently being implemented, as well as the Unified Legal System to be implemented later, and so on."
"Do you all think these two Nation are likely to agree? If they refuse to implement it, what is the significance of our Communique? Lord Imu's Order will not have been fully implemented!"
Now everyone understood the tricky part of the Matter. Saint Jaygarcia Saturn was also temporarily speechless.
Because these two are both problematic Nation with extremely long History and quite Strong domestic Combat Power.
First, Wano Country. This is the only Samurai Country in hundreds of years that once caused a Marine Admiral to die in battle. Moreover, it has always implemented an Isolationist Policy and never receives outsiders.
Coupled with the chaotic and terrifying degree of the Sea Area's Climate, it can even be called the first in the 'New World'.
And the high cliff waterfalls make it difficult even for the Warship of Marine Headquarters to break in.
From these various geographical environments, it indeed provides excellent conditions for the Isolationist Policy.
Elbaf is even more troublesome. This is the Kingdom of the Giant Race, the World's acknowledged Strong Nation. It has also always refused Affiliation with the World Government.
Even Sister Carmel, who has the best relationship with the Giant Race, could only locate the House of Lambs in a small village on the Kingdom's Edge.
"Let's solve them one by one..."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn pondered for a moment and made a suggestion. Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, sitting across from him, nodded his head agreeably. "Let's first discuss Wano Country. Relatively speaking, it's easier to handle. But no matter what, we need to first understand its domestic Situation."
No matter what you do, Intelligence comes first. This is a basic quality for the highest BOSS of an Intelligence Agency.
"What, didn't your Cipher Pol send people in?" Saint Marcus Mars looked towards Saint Shepherd Ju Peter puzzledly. In his Heart, CP were omnipresent ghosts.
The latter Bitter Smile, "No, their unique culture, ancient traditional language, and an atmosphere that can be called national exclusion make it almost impossible for people to infiltrate without support from internal Higher-ups."
"Then how did the Beast Pirates get in?"
"Inferring from Kaido's Ability, they should have flown directly in and used force to suppress it, and it was while Kozuki Oden was out at sea."
"However, this also indirectly proves that there aren't many Top Tier Combatant guarding the interior of Wano Country. This point needs special attention."
Speaking of this, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter stroked his chin, pondering with great puzzlement.
"I'm just very curious, why was there no movement at all after Kozuki Oden returned? Shouldn't he have fought a great battle with Kaido? How could he let the latter leave the Island casually and come over to get involved with us?"
It is now 24 years before the Plot, and Kurozumi Orochi prepared to establish a Weapon Factory in Kuri 20 years ago. Therefore, CP0 and his Weapon Trade is Matter at least 4 years later. Thus, it is also reasonable that the current World Government cannot know the Situation in Wano Country.
