One Piece Seat Void - Chapter 240
“Underwater Supermax Prison,” due to Pellton, experienced an unprecedented riot.
For some reason, all the prisoners on the sixth floor ran out of their cells, opened the Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs, and released all the criminals on all the bases.
They fought fiercely with the jailers and wardens of Impel Down. Countless criminals and jailers perished in this riot.
Most tragically, the current warden of Impel Down, with the help of a group of pirates from the sixth level, died while blocking the escape route.
At the time, Vice-Warden Magellan was severely injured. The other Vice-Warden, Hannyabal, temporarily rebelled and joined the pirates, escaping from Impel Down.
This event infuriated the World Government, and Admiral Kong was held responsible. However, to stabilize the chaotic world, the World Government concealed the Impel Down riot and dispatched Admiral Sengoku to Impel Down to support stability.
At the same time, as a result of this incident, the World Government learned a lesson and strengthened the defense forces at Impel Down and Enies Lobby.
At this moment, above the Red Line, in Mary Geoise, a massive conference room, five top leaders of the World Government sat on the couch with serious expressions.
“The CP0 department has fully understood the cause of the recent Pellton incident. The source of this riot was the actions of Rox Pirates’ executives, Kage, and Moria, the Moonlight.”
“For some reason, Moria had the key to the Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs when imprisoned in Impel Down.”
“When he entered the sixth-floor cell in Impel Down, he opened the handcuffs, walked out of the cell, released all the surviving pirates, and took away the four most troublesome individuals.”
“Among them, those troublesome four included Gis.” The bald Five Elders directly stated the intelligence.
Their mood at this moment is highly repressed and angry. “Hmph! It’s that Locke brat again! I thought he’d quietly rule his pirate kingdom in the New World. I never thought he’d stir up such trouble. Did he think the World Government wouldn’t dare to go to war with him?”
Dressed in a black suit, white curly hair, a bushy white beard, a flat cap, and a scar on his left cheek, one of the Five Elders expressed his dissatisfaction.
Dressed in a white robe, bald, wearing glasses, the only one not wearing a suit, and holding a katana, the Five Elders, with a headache, rubbed his forehead.
“Locke, anyone with that name is not a peaceful fellow. We should have taken him out at all costs when he was still growing up!”
“Hmph! Talking about this now is useless. Besides, the current state of the sea makes it impossible for us to go to war with Rox Pirates easily.”
Dressed in a deep green suit, bald, with two eight-shaped beard strokes and a birthmark on his forehead, the Five Elders gave a low voice.
“Ah, now that the matter has already happened, we can do nothing. Right now, the most important thing is to stabilize this damned situation on the sea.”
“That bastard Roger, even before he died, he had to cause such big trouble for us!” Dressed in a deep blue suit with long, straight white hair and a long beard, the Five Elders looked at their colleagues.
“Also, it’s high time the Navy was reorganized. That guy, Kong, has spent enough time in the Navy’s FBI. Let him take up the position of Admiral, and those three brats should take over from the older generation and become the new faces of the Navy.”
After listening to the words of the Elder with a long beard, the other five Elders didn’t object, and all nodded in agreement.
“Indeed, it’s time to reorganize the Navy now. Also, we should continue looking for suitable candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea.”
The Five Elders said he was dressed in a deep red suit without a tie, golden hair, and a scar on his chest.
“In the current world, there are still many outstanding individuals. It should be relatively easy to fill the ranks of the Seven Warlords.”
After the golden-haired Elder spoke, the other four Elders reconsidered and ended the meeting. They didn’t discuss anything related to how to deal with the Locke Pirates, just raising the bounty on all the members of the Locke Pirates. Apart from that, nothing else
At the Navy Headquarters, all the top Navy brass were gathered in a vast conference room. The leader, Admiral Kong, had a bleak expression.
He looked expressionlessly at the various Navy commanders below.
“Well, the World Government’s decision has been made. As for the mastermind of the recent Impel Down riot, the Rox Pirates, we’re increasing their bounty. Also, the Five Elders have approved the promotion of Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan as the new admirals.”
Admiral Kong looked at Admiral Sengoku, who had an equally gloomy expression. “Sengoku, you will be the new Fleet Admiral from now on. Under your leadership, I hope the Navy becomes increasingly powerful.”
Sengoku stood up and looked at Kong. “Don’t worry, Kong. I will lead the Navy to become the most powerful organization in the world.” Kong nodded satisfactorily and then looked at Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan.
“From now on, you three will be the new faces of the Navy. Take the responsibilities of admirals seriously.”
“Ah, Admiral, that sounds pretty good.”
“Hmph! I’ll lead the Navy to exterminate all pirates!” Kong nodded in satisfaction, and he had great trust in these rising stars of the Navy whom he had watched grow.
“Well, your promotion ceremony will be at the Navy Headquarters shortly. Use this time to prepare.”
“The meeting is over for today. Dismissed!” With that, Kong stood up somewhat wearily and headed to his office.
The large conference room was left with Sengoku, Kizaru, Aokiji, and the others, who had long since stopped bothering about every little detail. They sat in silence, each lost in their thoughts.
The reorganization of the Navy by the World Government, while it appeared optimistic on the surface, still left the Navy somewhat disappointed.
Whether it was the beginning of the Great Pirate Era or the riot at Impel Down “Sengoku, I must take some time off. I haven’t been back to my hometown in a long while.”
Suddenly, Capone spoke, breaking the silence in the conference room. Sengoku nodded. “I understand. I’ll talk to Kong about it.”
“By the way, has Dragon still not returned?” Capone sighed when he mentioned Dragon.
“That brat! He hasn’t come back yet!” Seeing Capone’s expression, the others in the room, including Kaku, Onimaru, and Fukurou, sighed.
“Alright, everyone, let’s disperse. Go about your business. There’s still a lot to be done.” With that, Sengoku stood up and left the conference room, and Lucci, Kaku, and Hannyabal followed suit.
Looking around at the vast sea of revolts and the burgeoning pirate activity, Hannyabal muttered, “The storm is coming.”
