Mariejois, Pangaea Castle

Inside the room where the Five Elders are located:

The Five Elders struck their crutches on the ground, creating a muffled noise and piercing a hole in the floor.

"Bastard! Now the whole world knows that the Celestial Dragons were killed! Damn Kaido! It's a rule we haven't broken in 800 years!" the Five Elders shouted furiously, their hands trembling.

"We can't do anything about him for the time being. Sakazuki made too many mistakes last time. If there had been an Admiral, maybe he could have handled it," one of the Elders said, clasping his hands to his chest and glaring at the monitor.

"But we should really teach these fools a lesson. They dared to kill CP agents and go to the pirate battlefield alone. Who knows how many like them are in this group?" another Elder said, holding a sword and crossing his legs.

"The face of the world government has been lost by the Rozwald family! Arresting Kaido is shameful, but it was something even the three Admirals couldn't do!" an Elder said seriously and with resentment.

"But now the precedent has been set and people all over the world know it. If we do nothing, the position of the world's most powerful group will be at risk," an Elder with a slender beard said slowly.

"Indeed, and with an Admiral seriously injured, the pirates might attack the Celestial Dragons even more brazenly," the Elder with his hands clasped said, frowning and letting out a somber breath.

"There are always villains who want to be famous," the Elder with the sword said, bowing his head.

"It's unlikely that we can catch Kaido anymore," one Elder said, shaking his head slightly. "The Knights of God want to stay in Mariejois. Marine's most important combat power has diminished."

The five Elders fell silent. Kaido defeating three Admirals by himself is too terrifying, making the World Government passive. Now, combat power is no worse than an Admiral's. Stronger even are the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, the deputy of Pirate King Roger, Silvers Rayleigh, and the empress Boa Hancock with her extraordinary beauty and Devil Fruit ability. These three also did not defeat Kaido. Even in their opinion, it is still an absolute disadvantage fighting Kaido.

They scratched their heads, unable to understand why Kaido was so strong. There is almost no one like him in history. Fortunately, Kaido is not completely invincible; he still has weaknesses. Whether it's Wano Country's factory, his Beasts Pirates, or his daughter, these all represent money, power, and emotions. None of this is unbreakable, and it's much easier than defeating Kaido personally. But now, they are talking about how to deal with Kaido.

If they don't do something, the World Government's face and credibility will be completely lost.

"Or else... inform Lord Im. This is the first time we have encountered such a tricky enemy," one Elder suggested.

"Want to use the national treasure? But the location of Sabaody Island...," another Elder mused, leaning on his cane.

"No, the Sabaody Archipelago can't be lost yet," an Elder said decisively.

"Then we can wait until Kaido returns to Dressrosa or Wano Country to activate the national treasure," another Elder continued.

"It's reasonable, but the national treasure consumes a lot. I don't know if Lord Im will agree," the Elder with clasped hands said, lowering his eyes and wondering if it was worth it.

"Not enough. We must make the whole world understand the fate of provoking the Celestial Dragons!" an Elder exclaimed, stomping on the floor twice.

"Damn clown Buggy!" Humpty Five Elders suddenly scolded. "This guy actually set up video phone bugs all over the world. It seems opening a company has made him earn too much."

If it weren't for him acting as a key gentleman, they could completely control the news about what is happening on the island of Sabaody. They could turn a big incident into a small one and a small one into nothing. There would never be any word about the Celestial Dragons falling at Kaido's hands. Even if Kaido said it himself, he would be treated as a joke and ridiculed by the world.

Do not doubt that a government organization, which has controlled most countries in the world for 800 years, can easily do this. Although the World Government has lost face in the past two years, it will always be seen as an official institution by the people. Their words naturally make people believe them without question.

"Then send someone to turn off all his phone bugs and shut down all his branches!" another Elder said grumpily. "Provoking the World Government always comes at a cost."

"He is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. We cannot unilaterally sanction him like this. Otherwise, the credibility of the World Government will be even lower in the future," one of the Five Elders said, shaking his head.

You must know that the world's monetary system is basically controlled by the World Government. The credibility of the World Government is naturally an extremely important part.

"Celestial Dragons are dead, and it's useless to turn off the phone bugs. It's more important to think about how to punish Kaido," one of the Elders said, frowning to get the conversation back on track.

"I think the Marines still have remaining high-end combat power," the slender-bearded Elder thought silently for a long time before speaking.

"Who? Sengoku?" another Elder asked, looking a bit skeptical.

"More than that," the slender-bearded Elder replied, touching his beard. "All the commanders of the army—Sora, Sakazuki, Sengoku. And Momousagi and Tea Dolphin should also be on the island. Then there is Garp, who is still under our watch."

"Yes! That old guy's grandson and son were at the brink of death at Kaido's hands. I don't believe he would be indifferent," the Elder with a national character face suddenly brightened, realizing what the other had pointed out.

That is the Marine hero who defeated the Rocks when he was young. Maybe he is old but not weak?

"What about Zephyr? He also harbors hatred for pirates now. Maybe we can use him too," another Elder immediately thought of another Marine powerhouse from the old era.

"Zephyr is not as strong as before. He is estimated to have only elite Vice Admiral-level combat power. And he is probably deep in the New World and can't catch up," the slender-bearded Elder shook his head, indicating that he had thought about it.

"What about Shichibukai?" Humpty Five Elders said. "Things must be done and Sakazuki's mistakes must not be repeated."

"Buggy and Whitebeard II, Weevil, are on that island. Kuma was also guarding the ship for the Straw Hat earlier, so he should not have gone far," another Elder replied.

"The female emperor is already at war. Doflamingo should have already defected to Kaido. Trafalgar was nowhere to be seen. Hawkeye is still in his castle. These two will not come."

"Four Shichibukai should be enough."

"Damn Doflamingo! After this incident, we must take away his Shichibukai title!"

"Yes."

"Okay, let's do it."

"I'll go report to Lord Im."

"I'll go inform the others."

"Be sure to get Kaido back this time!"

"Better let SSG copy Kaido!"
