Five Elders!
Upon hearing this, even Zakuro couldn't help but reveal a shocked look on his face. He didn't expect that the Five Elders would personally come to their castle. Zakuro has been in this world for some time and grasped the balance of power in this world. World Government undoubtedly held the absolute power in this world, and the people with the highest authority in the World Government were the Five Elders!
However, this is Millefiore Family castle, so no matter how much authority you have, it was no use here. Only strength had value in this place!
With that in mind, Zakuro suddenly exuded a fierce aura like a wild beast. He wanted to assert dominance to the Five Elders because the Five Elders and his bodyguard didn't show any respect to Byakuran.
Well, he couldn't see their faces due to the masks, but he was certain that they had an expressionless face beneath the mask!
However, at this moment, the blond-haired Five Elders lightly tapped the table in front of him, producing a loud sound in the process! A unique aura, like that of an ancient savage beast covered the whole room.
Even Genkishi who stood outside was shaken and almost couldn't maintain his stance.
Although it wasn't Color of Supreme King Haki, the aura of the blond-haired Five Elders was obviously more terrifying than most Color of Supreme King Haki users. Shanks' Color of Supreme King Haki probably couldn't have had such an impact on Genkishi, but the blond-haired Five Elders did that with just a tap!
"If this is how Millefiore Family treats guests, then I must have come to the wrong place..."
Before the blond-haired Five Elders could finish his words, a similarly overwhelming Color of Supreme King Haki was let loose, contending with the blond-haired Five Elders' aura. Byakuran, who released this aura, leaned his head on one hand, and said nonchalantly, "Well, you're not exactly Millefiore Family's guest, right? Just state your business; there's no need to test me or my Family."
Byakuran was well aware that the Five Elders were not the type to do anything without a reason. After all, when have you ever heard of the Five Elders leaving Mary Geoise? If it weren't for something very important, the blond-haired Five Elders wouldn't be here.
So ultimately, it's because they have something that they needed Millefiore Family to do, and it was something very important to the World Government. That was why the Five Elders personally came.
In addition to the blond-haired Five Elders, his two bodyguards were no ordinary individuals. Both of them were Admiral-level combatants. Even among CP0 agents, they were considered well-known.
"I'm a guest regardless of what my purpose is, am I wrong?"
After putting away his aura, the blond-haired Five Elders continued, "But since you're so direct, there's no need for me to beat around the bush. As the leader of Millefiore Family, you should be paying attention to what happened in New World recently, right?"
"You mean the major battle involving Vongola Family, Shiki's fall, the Marines' defeat, the death of an Admiral, and then the destruction of Totto Land? Well, apart from Big Mom escaping with serious injuries and disappearing and all Charlotte Family been annihilated, it is indeed a major event. Even if I don't pay attention, such information would still reach my ears. However, it seems that the Marines' retreat can be considered as the World Government's failure, right? And now that you've left Mary Geoise, should I take it that you intend to deal with Vongola Family personally?"
Byakuran chuckled and said, "Of course, I think the possibility of that is quite low. After all, you are the Five Elders, and although Vongola Family is powerful, it's not worth your time, right? So, are you planning to use Millefiore Family?"
It didn't take long for Byakuran to figure out everything. The blond-haired Five Elders must believe that Vongola Family's growth has gone beyond their control.
There were not that many forces that stood a chance against Vongola Family, and Millefiore Family happens to be one of them.
Moreover, considering the information Byakuran deliberately leaked, that there were conflicts between the Millefiore family and Vongola Family, the World Government must believe that Millefiore Family was an excellent choice to solve their problem.
"You are very clever; that is indeed the purpose of my visit. However, Millefiore Family alone is probably not enough to stand up to Vongola Family. Therefore, the World Government can provide you with some help to give you a better chance against Vongola Family!"
The blond-haired Five Elders finally stated his purpose, "For example, we can give the entire North Blue to you and acknowledge Millefiore Family as a noble, giving you the same privileges as the royal family. At the same time, we promise to grant you the same authority as the Marines. However, you will also shoulder the same responsibilities, such as ensuring the stability of North Blue, and of course, sailed into New World to fight off Vongola Family whenever needed!"
Upon hearing this, Byakuran laughed. The World Government must've thought that no one could reject their offer. This status and power was even superior to that of the Seven Warlords!
After he relayed this information to Giotto, Giotto probably would've laughed his ass off.
It seemed that Vongola Family had indeed become a significant threat to the World Government, and that was why the Five Elders had made this decision.
After a brief silence, Byakuran spoke, "In addition to everything you just mentioned, I also need the legal right to plunder, similar to the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Do you accept out term?"
