Sea Circle Calendar 1518.
The decisive battle on Onigashima came to an end. Under Morgans' extensive coverage, Marine's power was at an all-time high.
In this regard, the World Government did not make any response.
The Revolutionary Army also quietly overthrew one country after another.
The kings of the participating countries began to feel insecure.
At this moment, the World Summit, which is held every four years, begins.
The CPs were also dispersed from Mariejois to all corners of the world under the instructions of the World Government.
Alabasta, the famous desert kingdom on the Grand Line.
The energetic King Cobra squatted on the throne.
Next to him, a girl with long blue hair was sitting obediently.
Princess—Nefertari Vivi!
Now 14 years old, she is the sole heir of Arabasta.
Below the throne are neatly arranged ministers on the left and right sides.
Hidden behind the shadow of the thick and heavy pillar was a man with strange curly hair.
His name is Igaram, and he is the current Alabasta guard captain.
Sharp eyes like eagles patrolled everywhere in the palace hall.
Suddenly, a black crow broke into the palace hall without any warning.
Igaram's eyes narrowed, and he was about to raise the weapon in his hand, as if he wanted to knock down the crow in the sky.
However, when he saw the white creed on the bird's claws, he paused and his body gradually relaxed.
He remembered that it was a bird used by the World Government for communication.
King Cobra, who was on the throne, naturally noticed this situation.
He immediately stood up and stretched out his arms to give the crow a place to rest.
He took off the note from the claw and slowly unfolded it.
"Is this year's World Summit announced in this form?" Cobra frowned and muttered to himself.
According to past practice, the notice should be published in the newspaper first, and then Marines would drive warships to each kingdom to carry out escort work, and the navigation routes would be clearly explained.
But this time it was uncharacteristic. Everything was kept confidential. Perhaps they were afraid that the recordings would be stolen, so they adopted this most primitive but secure communication method.
Just like the World Summit is important to the World Government, it is also an important event for the kings of the participating countries to be cautious about.
A total of more than 170 World Government member countries have come to Mariejois, the Holy Land, but only the fifty most powerful can actually enter the formal meeting.
You know, this is a meeting attended by the Celestial Dragons, which means they can talk to the largest noble in the world.
Maybe when one of the Celestial Dragons is happy, they can gain a higher status among the franchised countries, and it is not impossible to further obtain permanent residency in Mariejois.
Of course, Cobra was dismissive of these.
His ancestor, Nefertari, was originally one of the Twenty Kings of the Holy Land, but voluntarily withdrew from the ranks of the Celestial Dragons family.
Of course, it is impossible for him, Cobra, to drive history backwards.
"Your Majesty Cobra, I heard that Marine has been having some trouble with the World Government recently. Is this the reason..." Minister Zuo said somewhat gruntingly.
"Maybe."
Cobra looked worried. He really couldn't see clearly what kind of future this world would take...
New World.
Broccoli Island, Kingdom of Chris.
The young king, Lionel Andrew, is much more mature than he was a few years ago.
Perhaps because of the hardships he has experienced, this energetic king is far more diligent in governing than most kings in the pirate world.
In just a few years, the Kingdom of Chris, which was on the verge of destruction, was brought back to life, and the country was even more prosperous. As the king, Lionel Andrew is naturally loved by the people.
Of course, no matter how vigorously he develops his country's armed forces, this kind of thing still depends on the precipitation of time. Even now, the Kingdom of Chris is still in the middle and lower ranks among all the participating countries of the World Government.
In order to save his country, he almost overdrawn the future of the Kingdom of Chris in advance. Although everything is moving in a good direction, the annual heavenly tribute is still a lingering shadow hanging over the entire kingdom.
However, Andrew also received a letter from the World Government. Thinking of the previous rumors, he knew the opportunity had come. He decided to take a gamble and accompany that man. And the bet - is the entire country!
So, Andrew dialed the number he had not contacted for a long time and waited anxiously for a response.
"Hey~ this is Atlas..."

Dressrosa.
Kyros, who was playing gladiator games with Rebecca, was suddenly called away by Scarlett. Under doubtful eyes, a piece of paper was placed in front of him.
——World Summit!
Kyros was shocked and immediately thought of his original instructions. He excitedly took out the Den Den Mushi in his arms.
"Has his plan begun?"
Scarlett nodded, "Viola has always been paying attention. Although nothing can be seen on the surface, it is obvious that an irreparable rift has appeared between the two. This is inevitable when Marine grows stronger."
"No one at the top allows those below to have power that can threaten them."
Viola is now Dressrosa's Chief Intelligence Officer. With the ability to use her Glare-Glare Fruit, she is simply a natural intelligence worker. Dressrosa became as sharp as a sword under the rule of Kyros. There has always been only one attitude towards pirates - kill!!
It maybe influenced by Atlas, but with the support of both intelligence and force, Dressrosa's strength has grown almost by leaps and bounds, and it is considered a powerful voice even among the more than 170 franchised kingdoms.
"She hasn't given up that idea yet?"
When it comes to Viola, Kyros is both happy and frustrated. Although Admiral Atlas did not explicitly refuse, there was no doubt about the attitude shown. But this sister-in-law is really stubborn. She almost has her sights set on Atlas. Every time the intelligence observation point always moves towards Marine unconsciously.
"Pfft—!! Just leave her alone. It's not like you don't know her character..."
Scarlett covered her mouth and chuckled. Although the two sisters have different personalities, the stubbornness in their bones is almost exactly the same. Didn't she also fall in love with Kyros, a little guard, to the death?
Except for these kingdoms, all the franchised countries on the sea, large and small, have received the letter from the World Government without exception.
Any ruler with a keen sense of politics will most likely be able to verify their own thoughts, and at the same time, they will also understand how chaotic the current sea is.
