Holy Land, Mariejois!

Right now, the atmosphere here was a world away from its usual state—it was stretched to a breaking point.

Virtually all the Celestial Dragons were confined to their homes, their amusements restricted to the confines of Mariejois.

And they uttered not a single word of complaint, obediently complying.

The reason??

The palpable, murderous aura radiating from the God’s Knights—the very order that held the power to judge and even execute Celestial Dragons.

These members of the God’s Knights, who normally remained hidden away in the depths of Mariejois and only appeared in the most special of circumstances, were now out in the open.

Their posture made it clear to even the most foolish of Celestial Dragons that a command had been issued from the highest, most supreme authority.

If they had the nerve to resist, even as Celestial Dragons, there was only one outcome—

—Judgment, followed by execution at the hands of the God’s Knights.

Meanwhile, the Five Elders, the World’s Highest Authority, sat in their spacious, luxurious office.

Their image had changed completely from the deep, somber old men who merely held the so-called "highest authority."

The aura of every single one of them had become terrifying.

The pressure was most intense from two of them in particular: the Warrior God of Finance, Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, and the Warrior God of Justice, Saint Topman Warcury.

Warcury’s presence was especially monstrous.

It was Conqueror’s Haki—and it was overwhelmingly powerful.

But unlike typical users of Conqueror’s Haki, whose eyes would flash with the signature crimson-black light, Warcury’s eyes—and those of the other Elders—were unnervingly dark, pitch-black, like the eyes of a true demon.

"R-Report!"

A Marine HQ Vice Admiral stumbled in.

As the gaze of the Five Elders fell upon him, this Vice Admiral felt as if he were being stared at by true demons, his entire body wracked with uncontrollable shivers. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"SPEAK. WHAT IS IT,"

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn’s demonic eyes reverted to their normal state, his voice deep.

The other Five Elders’ eyes also returned to normal.

"Y-YES, SIR!"

The Vice Admiral, still reeling from the immense terror, subconsciously saluted, cold sweat streaming down his face, his words somewhat slurred.

Wh-What happened??

This wasn’t his first time delivering a message to the Five Elders, but he had never felt anything like this before.

Though facing the world’s highest authority, and not daring to use his Observation Haki to probe, his instincts told him he was facing something akin to hell itself—

"Hm?" Saturn frowned.

The immense terror snapped the Vice Admiral back to his senses.

It wasn’t that he was no longer afraid—it was that his intuition was screaming at him: if he didn’t report immediately, he would die.

The Five Elders now possessed that kind of horrifying power.

"I-It’s the Emperor!! The Straw Hat Pirates! Their ship, the Going Merry—is heading towards Egghead!"

The Vice Admiral hastily reported, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.

Egghead was the official name for the ’Island of the Future’, affiliated with the World Government, and also the location of the Chief Scientist, Vegapunk’s research institute.

After Vegapunk’s modifications, it was hailed as "The Future of 500 Years From Now."

"Straw Hat, you say? And what about Sky Sovereign Rowen’s movements?" The long-haired, long-bearded Saint Marcus Mars asked gravely.

"N-No sign of the Sky Sovereign Grand Fleet’s movements. Sky Sovereign Rowen’s ship—The Draconia, cannot be approached, so we cannot confirm if Sky Sovereign is on the Merry,"

The Vice Admiral trembled, then quickly explained.

"S-Sky Sovereign possesses the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability. Our surveillance ships can’t get close. Knowing the Merry’s location is the absolute limit of what we can do," The Vice Admiral’s forehead was beaded with countless beads of cold sweat.

"Understood. You are dismissed,"

Saturn’s words made the Vice Admiral stumble away.
