Five Elders' Opportunity

(I realized that we are so low in ranking compared to when we were at the top. Yeah, I haven't uploaded for a while but since I am doing it now, why not help this book reach the top once again?)

[Goal- 3000 Powerstones]

----------------------

Two Days Later,

"What? They have landed on Water Seven." Sengoku shouted from the Transponder Snail.

"Yes, Sengoku-san! It seems like we can't attack them right now." Aokiji's lazy voice came from the Transponder Snail.

"Hmm! Send someone to keep an eye on them. Our movement hasn't been noticed since Kizaru is not with you right now. But it won't take long before those guys find out about your position."

"If they do decide to spend more time in Water Seven, then we will attack openly." Sengoku's tone was a bit heavy.

Inside the office, the temperature was slowly cooling down and even Aokiji who was on the other side of the Transponder Snail could feel something was wrong.

"But, wouldn't that be bad for our reputation? The entire Water Seven could be devastated by our attacks."

Aokiji frowned and asked. He wasn't aware of anything about Straw Hat Pirates except that they had Double Emperor potential. So, he didn't understand Sengoku was giving such a harsh order.

"Kuzan, this time it is an order from above. Eliminate the threat of Straw Hat Pirates at any cost even at the cost of using Awakening."

Sengoku's voice only got heavier as he spoke.

Aokiji realized the situation and his pupil dilated instantly. He clenched his fist as the ice began to form on his body.

"Kuzan, kill every single straw hat without any mercy and bring Monkey D Luffy East Blue."

Sengoku gave the final order before finally putting down his Transponder Snail.

Bang!

"Damn that Red Hair!" Sengoku slammed his fist on the table and cursed. He raised his head to the side and spoke with a low voice.

"Sorry, my old friend! Even if it is harsh for him, we have to break him down mentally so that he can live."

Garp slowly stood up and walked up to Sengoku. There was no expression on his face as he patted Sengoku's shoulder and said.

"Thank you, Sengoku! You have done enough. When that boy decided to become a pirate, I had already expected this result."

Saying so, he turned around and left the room.

"Garp!"

Sengoku murmured in a low voice seeing his old friend walking out with such an expression.

From childhood, he grew up with Garp. They were different in mentality and belief, but they had always been the closest friends.

No matter what kind of situation they faced, Garp never lost his happy and enthusiastic expression. He was always optimistic about the situation.

But right now, Garp was completely devastated. He couldn't see his best friend in such a situation but he had no choice but follow orders.

That's why he asked Kuzan to kill all straw hats. It was necessary simply because the grandson and the grandpa are a bit similar.

If Garp loses all of his friends, he could see Garp not coming out of depression ever again. So, if he can eliminate all straw hats, Luffy wouldn't continue becoming a pirate.

He would honestly stay at his village with Garp.

Living was better than dying.

On the other hand,

Kuzan also frowned a lot after receiving such an order. Simply because the person that he was concerned about wasn't Luffy at all.

It was Robin.

Because of Saul, he treats himself as Robin's guardian but at the same time, he also made sure that he can eliminate her if she becomes a threat.

Right now, she was in the boat with Double Emperor's potential crew. So if he let her stay in that ship, it would definitely be bad for the world.

But, if he wanted to let her leave, he would've to kill Straw Hats. He was naturally hesitant about killing Luffy because of Garp.

Now he got the order to kill all Straw Hats except Luffy which made him a bit confused but also a bit relieved.

Naturally, if he can let Luffy live, he can also let Robin live. That's why Sengoku called him instead of calling Kizaru.

After deciding on following the orders, he lay down on the deck and closed his eyes.

He was going to sleep again.

Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle;

"It's a good thing that we noticed that fruit early otherwise with the speed he has grown, we wouldn't be able to take him down that easily." An old man with a big beard spoke.

His name was Saint Jaygarcia Saturn.

"Indeed! Marines finally did something good. If that fruit gets awakened even once, all of the work that we did would be for nothing." Another old man with a long beard spoke.

His name was Saint Marcus Mars.

"But, are we a bit too hasty? That boy has only learned Basic Haki and can't even control his Color of Supreme Haki. The only reason why he was able to fight was due to his vice-captain."

"More importantly, we can just send some CP0 agents to assassinate them. Since that fruit hasn't awakened for eight hundred years, what are the chances that he would even awaken it?"

A middle-aged-looking man with a yellowish beard spoke. His name was Saint Shepherd Ju Peter.

"Indeed! If those guys learn about our recent movement, they might take this opportunity to attack us, especially Revolutionary Army." Another old man spoke.

His name was Saint Topman Warcury.

"Do not forget his father is Dragon. I believe he might try to interfere with the Marine's attack. But since we have sent Kizaru, I believe he will be able to take down this brat before he grows up."

"But, what makes me worried is that guy." The person who spoke was none other than the last member of Five Elders, Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became heavier.

"Despite coming from Figarland Family, he was raised by Gol D Roger. We do not know his intentions. Because of his behavior, we have let our guard down against him. Could it be that he knows about that fruit?"

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn spoke with a stern tone.

"No, unless Roger found out about that fruit on that island, he shouldn't know. We have removed that fruit from every single Devil Fruit encyclopedia except those old ones."

"The only ones who have read those outside of us are Vegapunk, Fleet Admiral, and God Knights."

Saint Ju Peter denied it instantly. Even he didn't know about it before he read about that fruit in the old Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

"Good thing, we erased that fruit from the current encyclopedia." Saint Topman Warcury nodded his head.

"Aren't we going out of topic?" Saint Marcus Mars interrupted and continued.

"No matter what, we have already given the orders. Even if we do get attacked, we can fight back. Get the God Knights ready for any kind of situation."

"By the way, have you contacted Vegapunk? We need to know when he will finish his Seraphim Project. Damn that Crocodile. Warlord already had a bad reputation and his action only caused more dissatisfaction in the marines."

"Fortunately, we managed to suppress it well."

"Let's contact Vegapunk!"

Other Elders also nodded their heads at the same time and used Transponder Snail.

......…

Near Water Seven,

"Guys, let's go and recruit a Shipwright." Luffy raised his hands with enthusiasm and shouted. In his hand, there were two strange bracelets and his hat also looked a bit different.

(For the sake of keeping Straw Hat look the same, I changed a little bit about Armament Haki where he is using it but it is not shown here.)

At the same time, other straw hats were also leaving when Usopp suddenly called out from the Cabin.

"Everyone, quickly come here!"

Hearing his tone that was full of fear, everyone frowned including Luffy. All of them decided to visit him.

"Usopp, what happened? Why are you so scared?" Chopper ran toward Usopp who was covered in his own sweat and asked with a worried expression.

Even Liam frowned at this sight. Usopp was a coward but he was also a bragger. He wouldn't show such an expression unless something truly terrified him.

"Usopp, what happened?" Zoro asked with a calm expression.

Usopp didn't look at him but instead turned his head at Liam.

"Y-y-you were right, Liam. I heard something about Marine's plan."

Hearing his words, Liam's expression didn't change much. He knew what Usopp was talking about but even so, he didn't understand why Usopp had such a fearful expression.

After all, unlike in the original, Usopp would only try to show his fear in order to make the atmosphere cheerful.

But right now, he was genuinely afraid. Even more so, the thing that made him concerned more was how Usopp heard about the Marine's plan.

Suddenly, his eyes sparkled as he asked.

"Usopp, did you do it? You really hacked into the Transponder Snail network?"

Usopp nodded his head with a frightful expression and said.

"Yes, I used that Shell from Sky Island. Although I wasn't able to get the entire conversation, I heard something really scary."

Saying so, he turned on the Sound Shell, and the voice of Sengoku came from the Sound Shell.

"Kuzan, kill every single straw hat without any mercy and bring Monkey D Luffy East Blue."
