The World Conference

[ Third Person POV ]

Marineford

Preparations were currently underway.

In Boris' perspective, there were currently only five more years left until the dawn of the Great Age Of the Pirates. Ironically, this would probably one of the last World Conferences before it began. Kong had made it clear that Prioirity laid in ensuring the safety of the allied members in the New World. 

In fact, he had gone as far as to get them a week before the official event had begun. Getting allied members from the blues and Grandline paled in comparison to the Chaos that was being harboured in the New World. His decision was supported by the Five Elders after a quick debate over the necessity of it. 

His prediction ended up true as he started to get reports of multiple fleets getting robbed by one ship. He was furious when he saw the full report, not at the pirates who were robbing the ship. However, he was upset at the Marines and World Government agents who were escorting the Allied Members to Mariejois.

The report had said that as they sailed, they had found a lone pirate ship quietly moving the opposite direction they were in. The Pirate ship had made efforts to actively avoid the World Government ships, however, the World Government and the Marine ships still decided to sink it anyway. 

They would attack the ship, only to face fierce retaliation from the pirates. It appeared that the pirates not only mastered different aspects of Rokushiki, but also had mastered the two basic forms of Haki. Their leader, had mastered all aspects of the six Rokushiki techniques and had mastered Advanced Haki. He made quick work of the leaders of every fleet that that certain pirate crew met. They wouldn't find out till later that they were actively antagonizing one of Whitebeard's men, one that we had a skirmish with and lost quite some time ago. 

Kong wasted no time ordering the rest of the ships in the New World to change their course and divert away from Whitebeard's territories. The last thing they wanted to do was to wake Whitebeard's sleeping Storm Dragon. The Storm Dragon had been quiet over the last two years, and frankly, the World Government would love for him to remain like that. 

The Admirals on the other had were all currently at Mariejois to double-check security. Well, only Sengoku was at Mariejois. Zephyr was still angry at the Celestial Dragons over their selfish move on Falke Island, and Kong didn't want him lashing his temper out on them. As for Garp, he was still chasing Roger, who was becoming a bigger problem as the days went by. 

In fact, the case of Roger had grown to the point that the Five Elders had ordered Kong to increase the number of marines hunting Roger down. Garp, upon hearing that Kong would be sending him more reinforcements, was enraged and yelled at Kong; telling him not to do that. Kong could only sigh in frustration and accept Garp's request, there was no need for him to send him more troops that he probably wouldn't even use.

All in all, the preparation for the World Conference was beginning to near its completion, asides from the casual nuances that the Marines would face every once in a while. Nothing major was currently happening that could negatively impact the World Conference. 

That was, until now. 

Mariejois

The Five Elders had gathered once more.

The air within the room wasn't as solemn as it was during serious situations, but it was solemn nonetheless. A report of a group of scientists making weapons of mass destruction had reached them via report from a member of the Cipher Pol Organization. At first, they had ignored the report and continued on making themselves busy trying to figure out different counters to the various topics that were going to be discussed during the conference. 

One of the most important decisions that were made that would impact the world were made during these conferences. Though the Five Elders held unequivicall power over the World Government, it would mean nothing if the allied members currently affiliated with the World Government did not approve of the Five Elders decisions. 

As such, they had to extend an olive branch towards the allied nations and ensure that a decision that would meet both ends of the two different parties could be made. The Five Elders would propose major decisions for the World Government and leave it to the World Government Alliance members to discuss whether to agree to this proposal or not. Most of their proposals are normally passed with a little bit of fine tuning within the details. However, the proposals that are usually scrapped were proposals that would have innumerable benefits for one aspect of the Alliance members. 

However, the very same proposal would be detramental towards the other side of the Alliance Members. So what usually followed was a heated debate between the two sides that agreed or disagreed with the proposal. A neutral, third party would sit by and listen silently before ultimately choosing a side that would prove more beneficial for everyone; that was normally the side that opposed. 

As a result, the Five Elders needed quite a bit of time to make some reasonable proposals that would benefit the entirety, or at least the vast majority, of the World Alliance Members. 

However, they would soon receive news that this group of scientists known as MADS, have made staggering progress under the leadership of their leader: Dr. Vegapunk. The Five Elders needed to make a decision over how they would handle this group of scientists moving forward.

"I propose we have them disbanded. If they actually make a weapon of mass destruction, it would be catastrophic for us!" Saint Jaygarcia Saturn proposed.

"I feel like it would be a tradgedy to kill off everysingle scientist within the group. How about we recruit one of them to work for us?" Saint Nusjuro suggested instead.

"That would be ideal, but who would you suggest we recruit? All of them seem pretty competent, judging from the reports that we're getting." Saint Warcury asked.

"We can recruit their leader, Dr. Vegapunk, This report claims that he has made much more progress in creating more inventions of convenience compared to the rest of the group." Saint Ju Shepherd proposed.

The rest of the Elders seconded this decision after Saint Ju Shepherd passed the report around for the rest of the Elders to scrutinize. 

Just like that, the Elders had just given the go ahead for the destruction of the group known as MADS. The group would soon separate and join different factions in the world, one of them going as far as in joining the future King Of The Beasts Kaido. 

A bounty was soon put on the MADS group, immediately after, the group dispersed into the wind. Except for one, the World Government had ordered the marines to start looking for every member within that group. However, that would be placed low on their list of priorities as they still had a World Conference to prepare for. Regardless, they still had set some low ranking marines to be on the look out for them. This would soon escalate to more higher-ups joining the search soon after the Conference.

However, that was for a later time.
