## Chapter 399: Three Days' Deadline for Elbaf!
## Chapter 399: Three Days' Deadline for Elbaf!
Inside the Room of Authority within the Holy Land Mariejois.
The Five Elders gathered once again.
Every matter they discussed concerned the fate of the entire Sea Star World, and even Other Worlds.
Of course, the final decision-maker would only be the supreme Lord Imu.
"Looking at this Report from Doflamingo, his Shipping Company is developing quite well. It can already handle the flow of Supplies between the North Blue and South Blue."
Saint Marcus Mars still stood beside the sofa, one hand in his pocket and the other holding a Document, chuckling lightly.
"Hmph, with the World Government's help and having grasped the movement patterns of the 'White Dragon', if he couldn't even do this, then he should be brought back and stay with those useless people in the Land of the Gods!"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn said coldly and dismissively.
"Don't say that. Those Celestial Dragons below also have their uses. Aren't we also from among them?"
Saint Topman Warcury flipped through the reports, replying faintly with a fake smile.
Before the Celestial Dragon Holy Academy was established, the selection mechanism for Celestial Dragons was very simple and crude.
It was to select those Celestial Dragons from a group of 'normal' Celestial Dragons who could still think and show excellent Talent in that environment.
These Celestial Dragons would be specially trained, and the most outstanding among them would become Five Elders Candidates, while the less outstanding ones would be assigned to various departments in the Holy Land based on their abilities.
The disadvantage of this approach was that it relied purely on luck. In good years, over a dozen people could be selected, while in bad years, only one or two.
The advantage was that basically every single person was an Elite.
The current and future mechanism is to gather all Celestial Dragon children who reach the age of ten for education, and then select Elites through two graduation assessments.
As for the effect, they would have to wait and see.
In Im's view, every World conquered by the World Government in the future should have a Celestial Dragon Family, so that these Otherworlders could always maintain a sense of Respect.
At this moment, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn sighed.
"Speaking of which, this 'White Dragon' is truly a good thing. With it, our ships only need to be coated with a layer of Bubble to quickly travel back and forth between the Four Seas and the Grand Line from underwater!"
"Especially for the Marines, Impel Down, and Enies Lobby. Who would have thought that the Great Eddy between those three Gate of Justice is actually a fixed Entrance/Exit for the 'White Dragon'?"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn also nodded deeply in agreement after hearing this, saying in a deep voice, "This way, the Marine Headquarters' Control over the Major Seas will be greatly enhanced."
"This Old Man even thinks that the Marine Branches in the Four Seas can gradually be abolished in the future!"
He had long been dissatisfied with the poor quality of the Troops and the already corrupt Officers in the Four Seas Marines. In the past, there was no choice but to turn a blind eye.
Now it was good. With the 'White Dragon', Marine Headquarters' Warships could directly and quickly travel to any Sea Area from the Great Eddy right outside their doorstep.
Although precise positioning wasn't possible, it saved the time of traveling through the Grand Line, which was sufficient in terms of Efficiency.
Furthermore.
Most of the Four Seas Branches would become Police Stations under the Ministry of Police Affairs in the future. At that time, these Trash could just be sent there, and Dragon could train them himself!
From now on, his Military would only need the best Talent!
This way, it also saved a lot of Military Budget, which was quite good.
The only cost was the reduction of the Marines' Influence/Power, but in Saint Jaygarcia Saturn's mind, the Marines were bound to become a Second-Rate Force responsible for guarding the Homeland sooner or later.
The Army would replace them as the First-Rate Force, and even the newly established Air Force would likely surpass the Marines.
"This is Coulson's Report. The Tontatta Tribe has agreed to join the Agricultural Academy to cultivate various Plants from our Homeland and Otherworlds for us, but they will not leave the Dressrosa Kingdom for now."
Saint Topman Warcury continued to discuss the main topic.
As soon as he finished speaking, Saint Marcus Mars sighed, "It seems they still don't trust us enough. These little guys really hold grudges. It's been nine hundred years!"
"The Tontatta Tribe has a pure, kind Personality and easily believes others' words. They don't think about whether the words are true or false unless explicitly told they are lies."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, saying, "This Personality is actually very easy to Control and reassuring."
Saint Topman Warcury nodded.
"Take more care of them in the future. Sooner or later, we will gain their Trust, and as long as they do their work, that's enough."
Saint Marcus Mars frowned and said, "Demon Slayer Wisteria Flower is fine, but the Blue Spider Lily requires twenty-four hours of uninterrupted Sunlight Exposure. Dressrosa doesn't have this condition..."
"Then just send Kizaru there and turn it into Sleepless Island."
Saint Topman Warcury said casually and dismissively.
As for the Citizens' sleep problems, he didn't care much. He figured they would solve it themselves, and Enies Lobby had managed for so many years. When the time came, they could send people over to teach them some Experience.
"Speaking of which, we also need to find an Island to replicate the 'Sun Mountain', in case the Minerals in the Demon Slayer World are exhausted someday. This Nichirin Blade is a good thing."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn suddenly spoke up to remind them.
"I can only say I'll let the subordinates try. After all, 'Sun Mountain' is naturally formed. No one knows if it can be created artificially."
Saint Marcus Mars was unwilling to give him a guarantee, otherwise, if it didn't work out, that bald head would glare and huff at him again.
"Finally, there's this Matter of Elbaf."
Saint Topman Warcury looked at the Document in his hand, his Expression becoming serious. After all, it was a Country known as the 'World's Strongest Nation', and they had to take it seriously.
"Didn't the Administrative Department send someone to negotiate? What, did they refuse?" Saint Jaygarcia Saturn asked coldly, narrowing his eyes.
"They didn't refuse, but they didn't agree either. It says here that King Harald needs a few days to consider, but he didn't give a specific time."
"Then give them a Deadline!"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn shouted extremely forcefully, "If the Deadline arrives and they still haven't given an answer regarding Affiliation, then This Old Man will request instructions from Lord Imu to flatten Elbaf!"
As the Supreme Leader of the World Government Military.
With Garp's Promotion to Marine Admiral, Byrnndi World becoming an Army General, and Edward Newgate and Charlotte Linlin accepting Honorary Admiral positions, plus Shiki being under Control, his confidence was unprecedentedly sufficient.
Every card in his hand was a Trump Card called Highest Combat Power. He truly wasn't afraid of any 'World's Strongest Nation'.
Saint Topman Warcury thought for a moment and agreed with his suggestion.
"Alright, then let the subordinates issue a three-day Deadline to the Elbaf Royal Family. When the time is up, let the Command Department issue Orders to Garp, 'Whitebeard', 'BIG MOM', and the others."
He also felt that this Giant Kingdom could no longer be allowed to remain outside the World Government. The Strength of the Giants must be held in their hands.
In front of the Esteemed Readers, they lowered their heads and Respectfully reported: "Reporting to the great Esteemed Readers, this book currently has 26049 Collections, a word count of 950000, an average subscription of 1457, a total of 16500 recommendations, over 3000 Monthly Passes. The development of the World Government can generally be considered to have achieved some small success, but to face the upcoming Civilizations of Ten Thousand Worlds and Worlds, our strength is still insufficient. We earnestly request the Lords to bestow more Recommendation Tickets, Monthly Passes, and Subscriptions to Support the Great Conquest!"
