One Piece: I am Imu

With Roger's death, Imu's mind turned to the topic of this year's World Conference, which in his opinion was the top priority. 

Although what he wants to do will definitely cause a stir and even a lot of opposition, he believes that there will definitely be more followers, and this must be done. If it is not done, other things will have little importance. 

To some extent, its impact will be no less than the public execution of One-Piece Roger. 

Also, is it useful to object? Who is he? I am Imu! 

Not to mention that the people of the Navy will definitely support this matter, this way no one on the planet will be able to stop the progress of this matter. 

It's just that the plan still needs to be thought out more, so these days he often sits on the Empty Throne in the dead of night and has 'meetings' with the Five Elders. 

At first, these five people were shocked by their various ideas, but it didn't take them long to get used to it. 

In the final analysis, the Five Elders' stance is the same as yours, which is to ensure the dominance of the Celestial Dragons over the World Government. 

With this premise and direction, no matter how shocking it seems, they can accept it. 

Furthermore, The Five Elders firmly believe that I can see the future. 

In the first half of the Grand Line, in the southern waters of the middle section of Route 5, there is a small island hidden here that specifically serves the dark world, it has no official name, which is why pirates coming and going from the island find it. They call it 'The Black Island'. 

Here, as long as you have enough belly or treasures, you can buy everything you need. 

Drinks, food, swords, guns, women, doctors, shipwrights, and even intelligence, but there are only two rules here. It is not allowed to attack service personnel and it is not allowed to destroy buildings on the island. Furthermore, either robbery or random murders will be stopped as well. 

In reality, this 'Black Island' has not existed for a long time, just under two years. At first, these lawless pirates, gangsters, and slavers paid no attention to the island's only two rules. 

But for about half a year, after more than a dozen gangs paid the price for a bloody massacre, everyone became honest. 

A family name and a smiley face logo are deeply etched in their minds. 

Donquixote Family! 

At this time, although it was late at night, the island was still brightly lit, with cheers, howls, screams, and laughter ringing out from time to time, making the atmosphere here extremely lively, and there were more than a dozen ships moored in the port, ships flying various flags. 

However, people who come here often know very well that compared to previous months, there are actually much fewer boats here. 

Needless to say, it must be related to the public execution of the 'Pirate King' Roger and, by the way, the arrest of the 'Golden Lion' Shiki. I heard that many pirates chose to disembark and return to normal life. 

"Hello everyone, have you heard about the great treasure?" 

In a busy tavern, a guy who was obviously drunk was holding a glass of beer in his right hand, his face was red, and he was yelling at everyone. 

As soon as the words "great treasure" appeared, everyone in the bar subconsciously pricked up their ears. Even the volume of the conversation dropped a few decibels. Some people's eyes were even more focused, making the drunk's face smile proudly. 

"What great treasure?" a pirate sitting at the table on the right tried to ask. 

"Of course, it is the treasure of 'Pirate King' Gol D. Roger, do you think it is big or not?" 

"That?!" 

This sentence immediately shocked everyone, and the entire atmosphere instantly fell silent. 

At this moment, a strong man with a height of more than two meters and a naked upper body put the wooden cup in his hand back on the table with a bang, and said with a cruel smile: "Boy, talk about it." Be careful. I'll pay for your drinks tonight. But if you talk a lot of nonsense, hey, be careful when you go out! 

"Hahaha, that's great, give me another drink!" 

I saw that this drunk was not afraid when he heard such threatening words, but rather he shouted happily at the bartender. 

"Don't forget to put it on his account!" 

"Alright". The waiter nodded expressionlessly. 

"It's time to say it, say it quickly! Say it quickly!" The other pirates began to boo, but the strong and fierce man from before slammed the wine table and roared, "Everyone shut up!" 

Not to mention, all the noise was suppressed for a while, causing the drunk to nod in satisfaction and then cough twice to clear his throat. 

"Ahem, here's the thing. Recently, a very interesting news suddenly spread on the sea. It is said that the 'Pirate King' Gol D. Roger, left his treasures on the last island of the Grand Line 'Laugh Tale', these treasures also received a name." 

At this point, the drunk man's eyes flashed with sobriety. 

"This name is, One Piece!" 

Navy Headquarters, Marineford, Office of the Fleet Admiral. 

[Knock Knock knock.] 

"Forward." 

Sengoku opened the door and walked in, then asked, "Fleet Admiral, are you looking for me?" 

"Well, come and look at this, this is the order that The Five Elders just issued," Fleet Admiral Kong handed him a sheet of paper with a smile on his face. 

"OK, wait a minute". 

Sengoku nodded and took it, then sat on the sofa and read it calmly. There wasn't much on the paper, so he finished it quickly, but there was a trace of surprise on his face. He raised his head and looked at the Fleet Admiral. Kong. 

"Sakazuki, Borsalino and Kuzan are promoted to Admiral? But Borsalino is now just a Rear Admiral. Is this appropriate?" 

"That boy will be promoted to Vice Admiral at the same time this time. After all, he also participated in Roger's arrest," Fleet Admiral Kong explained with a smile and then asked. 

"How is? What do you think?" 

Sengoku pondered for a moment and then replied, "It's a bit unexpectedly, but within reason. The strength of the three of them is still a bit lacking. Except for Kuzan, the other two have surpassed most of the Vice Admirals. It's just that being promoted to Admiral is..." 

"It's just that we didn't expect the World Government to promote them so easily, right?" 

"Yes, I thought it would take a few more years. After all, the current maritime situation has improved a lot with Roger's execution and the need for admirals is not so great." 

But as soon as Sengoku finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and continued: "I was still thinking about the task of capturing Roger earlier. Why did the Five Elders specifically ask to bring the three of you? It turned out that they were brought in to prepare for be promoted to Admirals in the future, but still..." 

He hesitated again, feeling that something was wrong. 

"But...why did the Five Elders' attitude towards us change so much and become so friendly, right?" Fleet Admiral Kong said. 

"Yeah." 

Sengoku recognized this. Having been an Admiral of the Navy for so many years and having the nickname General Strategist, he had long been aware of the World Government's deliberate suppression of the Navy. 

In many cases, the promotion to Navy Admiral is not based on strength alone, the most important thing is to see the needs of the World Government in this regard, otherwise, there are several ways to make them remain as Vice Admirals, or even as Candidates for Admiral, unless you make a great achievement, getting promoted is very difficult. 

"Well, at first I was very surprised by this, but through the conversation with the Five Elders, I guessed something," Fleet Admiral Kong said as he thought. 

"You go on." 

"I heard that, at this year's World Conference, the World Government will take great measures. Perhaps we are preparing for this. After all, you are the only Admiral on the surface now." Fleet Admiral Kong looked meaningfully at Sengoku.
