Gorosei

Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle.

Inside one of the rooms of Pangaea Castle located in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, there is a round table with five people seated around it.

First, a burly old man with a white mustache and beard. He has white dreadlocks and wears a flat black hat. There is a scar on the left side of his face stretching diagonally over his eye. This stern-faced old man is named Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, holding the title of Warrior God of Science and Defense.

Second, a very tall and thin old man with long white hair, including a mustache and goatee. This tall old man is Saint Marcus Mars, holding the title of Warrior God of Environment.

Third, a bald old man with a large white mustache and birthmarks on his forehead and right cheek. This glaring old man is named Saint Topman Warcury, holding the title of Warrior God of Justice.

Fourth, a tan-skinned man with a slim build and blond hair. This middle-aged man is named Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, holding the title of Warrior God of Agriculture.

Fifth, a pale gray-skinned old man with no hair on his head or face. Unlike the other old men who wear black suits, he wears a loose white keikogi tied with a golden obi, revealing his chest and stomach. This eccentric old man is named Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, holding the title of Warrior God of Finance.

Although all five are Tenryuubito, their demeanor and aura set them apart from other Tenryuubito who live meaningless lives. Even among the Tenryuubito, these five are highly respected and revered. After all, they are the highest-ranking council of the Tenryuubito known as the Gorosei, holding the Supreme Authority of the World Government.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

The sound of a knock on the door was heard.

"Enter."

Saturn gave permission.

The door opened, and a masked figure dressed in white cautiously stepped into the room.

"This is the intelligence information Gorosei-sama requested about the young man who fought with Commander-in-Chief Kong."

The CP-0 man then placed the documents on the table and left after ensuring there were no further orders.

Once the door closed, each Gorosei member took a document and began reading.

"What do you think about this Kamiki Eiji?"

Throwing the document on the table, Mars asked in a deep voice.

"Although the time is short, not much information could be found even by the World Government. His background is very mysterious. It's impossible for someone that strong to be unknown, could he be a high-ranking officer of the Revolutionary Army?" Peter speculated.

"It doesn't matter. Not only did he infiltrate Mary Geoise, Kamiki Eiji did not hesitate to kill Tenryuubito. If this matter becomes public, the World Government's image will be tarnished, and it might set an example for others to attack Mary Geoise in the future." Warcury said angrily.

"Kong even had difficulty fighting him, should we intervene?" Nusjuro asked while holding the katana in his lap.

"Let's observe Kamiki Eiji first. If Kong is truly defeated, it won't be too late for us to act. Besides, he is in Mary Geoise, there's no way he can escape under our watch even if he can fly." Saturn said, not rushing into action.

"Alright, let's do as Saturn said."

Peter, Nusjuro, Warcury, and Mars did not object to the suggestion.

With their advanced Kenbunshoku Haki, they can monitor every movement in Mary Geoise. The Gorosei had been watching the fight between Kong and Eiji from Pangaea Castle through Kenbunshoku Haki.

Even when the Tenryuubito were sucked into the [Blue] and died miserably, they watched indifferently. Although they are fellow Tenryuubito, the Gorosei looked down on them. After all, the Tenryuubito were deliberately weakened by Im-sama, living in moral decay.

Only a few selected Tenryuubito are allowed to maximize their hidden potential and become strong.

Another reason is that the Gorosei are reluctant to expose their powers even in Mary Geoise.

Almost no one knows that all Gorosei are Mystical Zoan Devil Fruit users!

In the sky above Mary Geoise.

Not for a second did Kong stop attacking Eiji. However, the other party always managed to dodge his attacks.

'Even if his Kenbunshoku Haki is advanced, he shouldn't be able to glimpse the future because I'm already using Observation Killing.'

This was the first time he met an opponent who only knew how to dodge without intending to clash.

It should be noted that Observation Killing is an advanced Haoshoku Haki technique that allows one to control their own aura or presence, nullifying the opponent's ability to see the future with Kenbunshoku Haki.

Many people have Haoshoku Haki, but only a few of them reach advanced mastery.

"Try to avoid this attack if you can, brat!"

Feeling embarrassed and humiliated being watched by the Marine officers below but unable to touch his opponent, Kong decided to use one of his strongest techniques.

They were in the air, he didn't have to worry about damaging Mary Geoise.

"…"

Standing in the air as if stepping on something, Eiji looked at Kong using Geppo by kicking the air rapidly to float like him.

"You will pay dearly for your arrogance."

The other party's indifferent attitude only made Kong more upset.

He infused Busoshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki into his fist.

"Supercluster Impact!"

*BOOM*

The punch generated a powerful shockwave that surrounded a very large radius, destroying everything within its range.

"Where is he?"

Kong was not pleased at all because the other party suddenly disappeared from his Kenbunshoku Haki perception. In other words, his attack missed.

"No matter how powerful an attack is, it's useless if it doesn't hit the enemy. As the saying goes, in the world of martial arts, nothing is unbreakable, only speed is unparalleled!"

"Don't you agree, Kong?"

Speed, when pushed to the extreme, can generate astonishing destructive power.

Now Eiji was standing behind one of the Tenryuubito watching from afar, but his voice amplified by Cursed Energy could be heard clearly by everyone in Mary Geoise.

[Limitless Technique] allows the user to manipulate space at will. Teleportation is just a basic ability compared to various other abilities.

No matter how fast someone's footwork technique is, can they be faster than teleportation? Moreover, the teleportation Eiji performed requires no preparation like chanting spells or anything, it can be done instantly with his mind.

With Six Eyes granting him a one-minute mental acceleration in his brain, Eiji's reaction speed is terrifying!

No matter the world, space-time abilities are very rare and valuable. The One Piece world is no exception!

"Damn brat!"

Turning towards the source of the voice, Kong did not dare to act recklessly because the other party was holding a Tenryuubito hostage.
