Mustache Five Elders glanced at Xiong and said without emotion.
"You step back first."
Xiong nodded silently, turned and left.
The six of them walked to the deepest castle and stepped into the flowers.
At the end of the long corridor, they saw Maura in a lady's suit.
"We ask to see Master Im, please inform me."
Mora nodded, and quickly walked into the Hall of Nothingness.
Soon, Mora came out again and made a gesture of invitation.
"Master Five Elders, Lord Im invites you to enter.
The five nodded, and Bell walked in behind them.
Come to the Hall of Nothingness again.
The scene here remains unchanged.
In front of it is a hall of "597".
There are high steps in front of the main hall, and there is no end in sight.
On the steps, there are many men in black armor and various weapons.
Two red curtains hung down on both sides.
Im sitting high on the highest void throne, wearing a black robe, people can only see the pair of red eyes clearly.
Above the head is a vast and magnificent star map.
The Five Elders knelt down on one knee, and Bell followed suit.
Of course, this is him in Kyōka Suigetsu.
"Five Elders, Bell, meet Lord Im."
Listen to the greetings of the people.
Im on the throne of the void withdrew his eyes looking at the star map, glanced at the few people, and said calmly.
"Get up."
Five Elders and Bell got up slowly.
"What is it?"
Em's voice sounded emotionless.
Mustache Five Elders said in a deep voice.
"My lord, the result of the top standing competition has been announced.
"Marine was defeated, we lost two top fighters, Naval Headquarters was destroyed by Uranus, and failed to keep the pirates in Naval Headquarters."
After Five Elders with the mustache finished speaking, he and several other Five Elders made preparations at the same time.
Prepare yourself for Im's wrath.
only.
Im didn't get angry, just nodded slightly, his voice without emotion became colder and colder.
"knew."
She acted as if she didn't care about it at all.
Five Elders couldn't figure out what Im was thinking for a moment.
The blond Five Elders looked at Bell.
Bell understood, and began to report the whole process of standing on the top.
Em listened silently.
What no one noticed was.
When he heard about the Portgas family, Im's scarlet eyes turned cold.
After listening, Im on the Void Throne was silent for a long time.
The meteorite that fell from the sky in Edward Sea.
Although the three Heavenly Dragon Guards did not die, they were seriously injured and could not recover for a long time. The secret submarine that belonged to her was also destroyed.
And it's not important yet.
What impresses most is that.
A hunt for ants that she arranged personally failed.
Losing face in front of anyone is the most unbearable thing for Im.
Even if those people were Five Elders, it wouldn't work if they were her dogs.
Five Elders saw that Im didn't speak, and the five immediately reported their affairs.
For example, do a big shakeup on Marine.
Another example, the blonde Five Elders wanted to promote Bell.
After listening, Im answered quietly.
"As for Marine, the five of you can do as you please.
"As for Bell..."
She pondered and looked at Bell who was dressed in white.
Bell passed her ordeal in her.
It's just that with Im's suspicious temperament, he still can't fully trust Bell.
After all, the timing of his rise was too coincidental.
But Im has lived for so many years and doesn't believe in such things as coincidence.
She looked at Bell, with a playful look in her eyes, and said.
"Since the position of chief cpO is vacant, let Bell take over...
Listen to this.
The Five Elders were all taken aback.
The blond Five Elders didn't expect that Im would directly appoint Bell as the head of cp0.
In his view, Bell's qualifications are average.
Although the position of chief executive is vacant.
But he is still promoted to a vice president at present, and it is most beneficial to climb up slowly.
This will not only suppress Bell's temperament, but also prevent him from being too arrogant.
It can also allow Bell to convince the public within cp0.
Otherwise, directly as the chief executive.
Although it is Five Elders' order, cp0 will fully obey it, but it is inevitable to complain.
But Im actually spoke directly.
Let Bell be promoted to the head of cp0.
There was a twinkle in the blonde Five Elders' eyes.
This is Lord Im admiring Bell!
As Bell's bole, he is very happy.
There was even a feeling that he had been recognized by Lord Im.
Bell bowed deeply, with joy in his eyes.
This is pretend.
"Thank you, Lord Im."
Im on the throne nodded slightly.
Then those scarlet eyes stared at Bell's eyes.
Bell's body suddenly froze in place.
At this time, he felt the same illusion ability 2.7 as his own being activated.
Or a curse, or a certain ability to affect people's minds.
Let yourself reverence unconsciously, let yourself agree with Im unconsciously, and feel that the other party is your own god.
Suddenly, Bell didn't dare to launch Kyōka Suigetsu either.
Because this is Im's temptation, he doesn't know how he should respond when Im activates this ability.
Therefore, Bell first used Kyōka Suigetsu to give himself a Hypnosis, so that he could temporarily forget everything about the Portgas family.
And modify his cognition into that down-and-out world nobleman.
Bell let go of his heart.
The next moment, a sense of dizziness came, and he was controlled.
