Holy Land Mary Geoise~~~
Inside the Pangaea Castle, there is a very large room called the Room of Authority.
There were five old men representing the highest power in the world called the Five Elders who had a very serious expression at this moment!!!
After the advent of the viewing system, they have tried various methods but cannot escape from this imprisoned state.
The more powerful a person is, the less they like being out of control!!
"The current situation is getting bad... The Eternal Surgery has been presented in front of the world!!"
The golden-haired old Elder, Saint Shepherd Juperter, stared at the large screen in front of him and said with a serious expression.
The large screen in the Room of Authority is connected to the live signal of the Naval Headquarters.
From here, they can directly observe the situation at the Naval Headquarters.
Saint Ethanbaron V Nusjuro's gaze deepened as he looked at the other four people. "We must not let this opportunity for the Eternal Surgery fall into someone else's hands!! We must intervene forcefully!"
"Forceful intervention? How do we even intervene???"
The straight-haired old star, Saint Marcus Mars, moved his chin and shook his head. "No one can resist the temptation in this matter! Haven't you noticed? Even the Marines want to get their hands on this opportunity!"
"What should we do then? This is an opportunity for eternal life!! Are we just going to watch it fall into someone else's hands???"
Saint Ethanbaron V Nusjuro said with a deep voice.
Before the two could further discuss, the round-headed old star, Saint Topman Warcury, directly interrupted their dispute and said, "Let's put the matter of the Eternal Surgery aside for now. The most important thing at the moment should be the awakening of that fruit!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other elder's expressions changed!!!
Indeed...
None of them expected that the Devil Fruit, which had not awakened for 800 years, would awaken again!!
None of them expected that the Devil Fruit, which had not awakened for 800 years, would awaken again!!
Moreover, the way it awakened was beyond all their expectations~~~
Just because that kid casually answered a question, Mythical Zoan Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika Devil Fruit... awakened...
Damn it!
Isn't this too casual?
Saint Shepherd Juperter pondered for a moment. "Imu-sama must have seen this situation as well. When the prohibition of this viewing system is lifted, Given the Imu-sama will surely intervene and will give us order, we shall do our best to follow those ."
"We can only do that~"
The other Five Elders also agreed with serious expressions.
…
At this time, the red-framed screen in the sky gradually dimmed~~~
In its place, a white-framed screen lit up.
[Time passes day by day~~]
[Luffy follows Ace, braving all kinds of hardships and adventures every day.]
[Although he often gets beaten up, he lives happily!]
[In the town of Foosha village, the RedHair Pirates have been staying here for over a year~]
[Luffy often comes to the town to help Dadan buy things, and through this, he has become acquainted with the Red Hair Pirates.]
[Chat room
Charlotte Linlin: "This kid, being Garp's grandson and Dragon's son, is also so familiar with Shanks. He got quite the connections..."
Edward Newgate: "I didn't notice until you mentioned it! His father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, his grandfather is a Marine hero, and he is also familiar with the youngest Four Emperors of the sea. This kid has quite a background~~~
Shiki: "No wonder they specifically play his footage~"]
It should be noted that Shiki fell to his death after being defeated by Luffy from his floating island...
Originally, he was still very dissatisfied, but now, looking at it this way, he can accept it~~~
Damn it, I died at the hands of the Chosen One...
[Chat room
Monkey D. Garp: "Damn Shanks, why did a big pirate like you specifically go to a place like Foosha village? If it weren't for you, my grandson might have become a Marine by now!"
Tsuru: "Although Shanks wasn't a Four Emperor at the time, he was already a famous pirate in the New World. There was no reason to stay in such a remote place for over a year..."]
Watching the situation on the screen, Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes narrowed, and she began to ponder.
[Chat room
Shanks: "I was just playing! Isn't being a pirate all about being carefree? If you're comfortable somewhere, why not stay a little longer? Is there a problem with that?"]
Why did he go to Foosha village back then?
Rather than saying it was Shanks' own decision, it's more accurate to say that he and his crew were guided by the Gomu Gomu no mi in some mysterious way~
That feeling was hard to explain~~
At that time, on his way to East Blue, many things seemed normal at the time, but now, looking back at certain events, they suddenly seem strange!!
For example, the wooden box containing the Devil Fruit was swept into the sea by a storm, even after chasing they couldn't obtain it.
Or getting lost inexplicably and then discovering it near a certain village even though their distance was different~~~
In a series of coincidences, they ended up in Foosha village.
And then, inexplicably, they stayed there for a year, and as a result, the Gomu Gomu no mi was inexplicably eaten by Luffy...
How can a crew who knew about observation haki, and had mastered basic observation haki couldn't detect something wrong when they took a devil fruit inside a bar, left it in the open, and ignored it when it was being eaten!!!
If you think about it carefully, Shanks always felt that this was absurd, but he was sure that the Gomu Gomu no mi actively chose Luffy!!!
