Reincarnated into the world of One Piece, in a land of giants with open eyes?!

Chapter 115: I will go there in person.

Chapter 116: I will go there in person.

"My words?"

Nusjuro Saint did not back down: "Then tell me, what should we do?"

"Continue to pretend nothing happened? Continue to treat the Golden Emperor like a child playing house?"

Saturn Saint's face turned ashen.

He knew that Saint Nusjuro was targeting him; at the meeting a month ago, he had spearheaded the decision to prioritize dealing with the Rocks Pirates.

It was he who said those things that now seem incredibly foolish.

At the time, he felt that his judgment was correct: the Rocks Pirates were a powerful threat in the traditional sense, possessing many formidable combatants and a clear pattern of pirate behavior.

The Golden Emperor, Orikum Oro, is more like a businessman, someone involved in construction. Although he is wealthy, he seems to be insignificant in terms of military strength.

But now?

His face was slapped repeatedly, and most importantly, the world government was not well prepared for this.

"We need to reassess the threat level."

Peter Saint said, attempting to de-escalate the situation: "Perhaps we should adjust resource allocation and strengthen surveillance and suppression of the Kingdom of Gaya."

"How do we suppress it?"

Nusjuro asked in return: "Economically? Many non-member states and even some member states prefer to do business with them because their tax rates are lower and the procedures are simpler."

"In terms of force? The current Knights of God cannot afford to lose a single member!"

With each word he spoke, the atmosphere in the hall grew heavier.

These are facts, undeniable facts.

"So you mean we can't do anything?" Valkuri asked, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction.

"We should have taken action a month ago!"

Nusjuro shouted sternly, "Instead of waiting until now, until the other side dares to openly refuse the World Government's questioning!"

This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Saturn Saint suddenly stood up and slammed his cane heavily on the ground.

"Saint Nusjuro!"

His voice was filled with barely suppressed anger: "You keep making accusations and bringing up old grievances!"

"Then tell me, what would have happened if we had decided to prioritize dealing with the Kingdom of Jaya?"

Will the Rocks Pirates take this opportunity to expand their power? Will the balance of the New World be completely broken?

"At least we won't be in such a passive position like we are now!"

Nusjuro Saint took another step forward, approaching Saturn: "Let the Golden Emperor develop to this point!"

'

"develop?"

Saturn Saint sneered: "Do you think he wouldn't have developed if we had targeted him back then?"

"How many years has the Kingdom of Jaya been around? Six years? Seven years? Do you think you can suppress it so easily?"

'

"So you mean, our initial choice was the right one?"

Nusjuro Saint could hardly believe his ears: "Everything now is inevitable?!"

"I didn't say that."

Saturn's tone calmed down: "I'm just saying that things aren't as simple as you think."

"To deal with the Golden Emperor, we need more than just force; we also need strategy. And strategy requires time to formulate, intelligence support, and—"

"What do you need?"

Nusjuro interrupted him directly: "Do we need to wait until the Golden Emperor obtains the power to fight against the gods?"

The moment those words were spoken, the temperature in the hall seemed to drop to freezing point.

Everyone was stunned.

Even Nusjuro himself was stunned for a moment. Because of the financial problems of the Kingdom of Jaya, he had been blamed by several other people recently. Today, he finally found an opportunity to make trouble, but he couldn't stop in time.

Saturn Saint stared intently at Nusjuro Saint, his eyes becoming extremely dangerous.

Saints Valkuri and Peter also wore extremely serious expressions.

"you----"

Saturn Saint slowly spoke: "Do you know what you're saying?"

Nusjuro took a deep breath. Once the words were spoken, they were like water spilled, impossible to take back.

"I know."

His voice turned serious: "I believe that the Golden Emperor may already know some things he shouldn't know."

"Otherwise, it's impossible to explain his aggressive expansion of power; he didn't just want to establish a country, he wanted more."

Silence fell once again in the hall.

This silence was heavier and more oppressive than any before.

After a long silence, Peter Saint spoke up: "Arguing about who was right or wrong back then is pointless. What we need to decide is what to do next."

"What else can we do?"

Saint Valkuri shook his head: "Since the Golden Emperor refuses to come to the Holy Land, we must take action."

"Otherwise, the people below will lose their sense of awe. They will think that the World Government is weak and easy to bully, and can't even do anything to a pirate."

"But the question remains: what action should we take?"

Peter asked, "Should we go to war directly? Or impose economic sanctions? Or—send people to Gaya Island?"

When he said the last sentence, his gaze swept over the other three people.

Send someone to Gaya Island.

This is a dangerous job.

The Golden Emperor has already demonstrated through his actions that he doesn't care about the authority of the World Government, the status of the Five Elders, and may even target the Five Elders who are heading to Jaya Island.

Now, less than one-tenth of the Celestial Dragons remain, and the Navy has split up, leaving them with very limited high-end combat power that they can directly utilize without reporting.

The situation for world governments is dire, and it's not feasible for all of them to go.

Who will go?

Saint Valkyrie looked at Saint Saturn.

Nusjuro Saint also looked at Saturn Saint.

Even Peter Saint looked at Saturn Saint.

Saturn's expression darkened as he swept his gaze over the other three people.

He understood the meaning behind those gazes: it was you who advocated prioritizing dealing with Lox, it was you who underestimated the Golden Emperor, and now that a problem has arisen, it is naturally your responsibility to resolve it.

Saturn Saint's hand, gripping his cane, trembled slightly from the force he was using; he was furious.

As a scientific defense god, he never imagined that one day he would be forced to this point by a lowly person who came from a pirate background.

But he also knew that he had no way out.

If he backs down now, his position among the Five Elders will plummet.

"I'll go."

Saturn spoke, and the other three looked at him.

"I will personally go to Gaya Island."

Saturn spoke calmly, but it always sounded like he was gritting his teeth: "I will confront Orichum Oro to his face, demand an explanation for the attack on Mary Geoise, demand that he stop supporting the new Navy, and demand that he abide by the rules of the World Government."

"7

As he spoke, his eyes slowly turned cold.

"If he doesn't agree—"

Saturn Saint didn't finish speaking.

But everyone understood what he meant.

If the Golden Emperor does not agree, then war will be inevitable.

Valkyrie nodded: "Arrange for CP to accompany us. I will take over the task of suppressing the naval traitors."

Peter Saint also spoke up: "Whatever assistance you need from us, please let us know."

Saturn Saint did not respond; he looked up at the reliefs on the dome of the temple.

The relief depicts the scene of the G20 alliance defeating a giant kingdom and establishing a world government.

The heroes in the picture raise their weapons, the enemy is routed, and the sunlight shines through the clouds, symbolizing the arrival of a new era.

That was the glory of eight hundred years ago.
