One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 427 We Obey Lord Yim’s Order

Mary Geoise, the Five Elders gathered in the conference room once again.

This time was different from the past. They did not sit at the table. Instead, they lined up in a row and walked along the dark and deep passage towards the depths of Mary Geoise.

"Everyone..." Saint Vorchuli said solemnly, "We can't continue to be patient. This is about the problem of 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' Profique. If we continue like this, that guy will 'destroy' the whole world."

"Don't exaggerate," Saint Marcus Maz looked at his colleagues, "He has never done anything that would harm the world. Even the world's nobles and navy are full of praise for him."

"That's why I have doubts about him."

"Okay," Saint Satan interrupted the argument between the two.

Over the years, Prophik's power has grown, and the Five Elders have split into two factions based on their attitudes towards Prophik. The core of the supporters is Saint Maz, who believes that Prophik has a gentle temperament, no ambitions, and what he does does not endanger the rule of the World Government.

As Profik's caravans grew stronger, the economies of many member states developed, and the amount of gold handed over to them and Profik's "gifts" to the world's nobles gradually increased. The economic situation of the world government was also greatly alleviated.

The various technological products he launched even changed the hobbies of the Celestial Dragons. Now, many young Celestial Dragons are particularly addicted to the game consoles and televisions produced in Wano Country, and the chaos caused by the Celestial Dragons' misbehavior is decreasing year by year.

The other side is represented by Saint Vochuli, who believes that what Prophik did is shaking the foundation of the World Government and is more dangerous than those pirates who seem vicious but are actually enemies everywhere.

Merchant ships connected various countries, making Prophik's influence spread throughout the world. Many countries, and even the kings of member states, followed Prophik's lead and even jointly put forward many proposals at the World Conference.

The circulation of technological products around the world made Saint Vochuli feel uneasy. Although he had never come across the word "ideology", he always felt that these things were not only changing people's lives, but also affecting people's thoughts.

"The Celestial Dragons are supreme", "The World Government represents justice", "The sea needs order", how long can these things last in the face of increasingly rampant commercial thinking, materialism, and increasingly developed entertainment products?

He was afraid that one day the whole world would become alienated from the World Government.

The views of two of the Five Elders each have their own merits, and the other three Five Elders are basically balanced between the two views.

"Don't continue arguing. Don't forget the purpose of our trip."

As Saint Satan finished speaking, the other four people all looked stern, because they were "summoned" this time!

Before they knew it, the five of them had reached the end of the passage.

There, sits a towering throne.

The skylight cast through the glass of the dome building, illuminating the ancient, tall and majestic throne.

The steps leading to the throne were covered with moss. On the platform before the throne, there were various rusty weapons. Their history was obviously as long as the throne itself.

On both sides of the throne, there is a World Government logo representing "connecting the four seas with the Grand Line".

The "Vacant Throne" represents the concept of the World Government. The founders of the World Government, the "First Twenty Kings", once swore a vow together to safeguard world peace, prosperity and long-term stability.

The high-hanging throne represents the supreme status of the world government, which dominates all directions; the broken weapons in front of the steps represent the idea of ​​forever saying goodbye to war and turning swords into plowshares; and the vacant throne represents the idea of ​​co-governance of the world government, which means that no one can be above it.

Every "king" who comes to the holy land of Marijoa to participate in the "World Conference" must swear an oath before this sacred throne, guaranteeing with his own personality that the kings of all countries are equal to each other and that there will never be any "dictatorship".

According to the World Government's statement, "The twenty weapons protecting the throne are the oath made eight hundred years ago by the 'first twenty' who created this world. The throne represents the center of the world, and no one sitting on it is a symbol of peace. Just as the highest authority in the world is the 'Five Elders' who hold the highest status among the Celestial Dragons, no one can be called the king of this world!"

However, at this moment, a figure wearing a tall crown and a black robe walked up the high steps step by step, walked to the throne step by step, sat on the throne slowly but calmly, and cast a gloomy gaze at the five figures walking in the distance.

"The Five Elders have come to pay their respects to Lord Yim!" The Five Elders knelt down in unison and said solemnly.

"Have you decided which lamp you want to extinguish in history this time?"

"If you have decided, please tell us his name!"

Yim silently looked at the Five Elders who were kneeling before him in reverence, a hint of doubt emerging in his pupils.

"It's not 'D', but it has stirred up the storm on this sea..." On the throne, Yim spoke slowly, "How could you let him do this!"

Beneath the throne, the Five Elders were trembling all over.

Of course they knew that the person Lord Yim was talking about was Profik, but the Lord's intentions could not be guessed.

The Five Elders bowed their heads and said, "We beg Lord Yim to make it clear!"

"Profek... He is shaking the foundation of the world!... He must be eliminated!"

Yim made the final judgment like an emotionless machine.

The Five Elders looked stern: "We will obey the orders of Lord Yim!"
