Chapter 447 Acknowledging Ye Yu as the Emperor of the Sea?
It is extremely difficult to kill a Logia-type Devil Fruit user instantly. Even someone of the Yonko level would never be able to kill a Logia-type Devil Fruit user of the Shichibukai level with a single strike like Yoru did, and do it seemingly effortlessly. It is simply impossible.
Karp's expression turned grave; he realized just how terrifying Yoru's future would be.
"He's only 20 years old now, and he's far from reaching his peak!"
Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at the Warring States period, his expression solemn.
Sengoku naturally understood this as well. As a former admiral, he was well aware of the strength of Whitebeard and Roger. Although these two were very strong, they were absolutely incapable of instantly killing a Devil Fruit user of the Seven Warlords level.
Moreover, Crocodile once challenged Whitebeard. Although he was defeated, he wasn't instantly killed, and the two fought for a period of time.
Yoru is terrifying.
"Warring States period, it seems the seas are about to become turbulent," Garp said gravely.
Zhan Guo looked worried, tapping his fingers on the table; his heart was in turmoil.
No one knew the pressure he was under at that moment.
"This is no longer just a matter for the Navy. The Five Elders probably already know about it. I wonder what their decision is."
Garp frowned. "Those guys will probably be furious. After all, Yoru is too young. He's only 20 years old and he already possesses such terrifying power. He's even more terrifying than Roger back then."
Roger and Whitebeard were roughly equal in strength; both were top-tier among the Four Emperors.
Whitebeard wasn't interested in the One Piece back then, which is why Roger became the Pirate King.
Roger alone gave the World Government so much trouble; the appearance of Yoru will probably be a real thorn in their side.
Just as the two were talking, the Den Den Mushi on Sengoku's table rang.
Sengoku frowned; he had a rough idea of who had attacked.
Upon answering the phone, an aged voice came from the other end.
"Sengoku, come to Mary Geoise."
I only said one sentence before the other person hung up.
However, the Warring States period knew who the other party was.
Garp looked at Sengoku and asked, "Are they the Five Elders?"
Sengoku nodded, his expression grave. "They really did know that Yoru posed a threat to the World Government."
"I'm going to Mary Geoise."
After saying that, he left the office.
Just as Sengoku had expected, Yoru had indeed attracted the attention of the Five Elders, who took it very seriously.
When Sengoku arrived at the location of the Five Elders of Mary Geoise, he pushed open the door and saw five old men sitting in the meeting hall.
This is the highest official authority in the world government.
The world is unaware of Im's existence.
After the Warring States period entered, the Five Elders all raised their heads.
Saturn first addressed Sengoku, saying, "Sengoku, you should already know about the Alabasta affair, right?"
Sengoku nodded.
Mercury, standing to the side, said coldly, "Since you know this, why don't you send someone to deal with it immediately?"
"The Seven Warlords of the Sea have done something so shameful, how can this be made public like this?"
Sengoku was taken aback for a moment, but he did not refute it. Instead, he said, "Is the matter of Alabasta still important now?"
These words silenced Mercury.
At this moment, Saturn said, "Is that guy from the East Blue, or from the same village as Garp?"
Sengoku frowned and looked at Saturn. "What do you mean by that?"
Saturn looked at Sengoku and said very seriously, "Don't you think there are too many criminals in this village?"
"Is there something wrong with this village?"
Sengoku was startled. "It was just an accident. Garp is a vice admiral."
Saturn sneered, "But Dragon is a revolutionary army."
"Now, a vicious person like Ye Yu has appeared."
Sengoku's heart sank, and he looked at Saturn, saying, "So you mean you want to take action against Windmill Village?"
Saturn waved his hand. "I'm not senile yet. Although Garp has a criminal in his family, he's still a decent naval asset."
“You should warn Garp to keep a closer eye on his village and prevent guys like Dragon and Yoru from appearing again. Otherwise, we have reason to suspect that Garp is deliberately condoning this.”
Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want the Five Elders to attack Garp's village, otherwise Garp would definitely leave the Navy.
The Five Elders aren't stupid either. Garp is an admiral-level fighter. Although he refused to be promoted to admiral back then and is now quite old, he is still a formidable fighter.
The Five Elders cannot accept losing such a fighting force.
Sengoku said, "Garp said that Yoru never showed any strength when he was in Windmill Village. Garp even thought he was just an ordinary tavern helper."
"However, as you all should know, since Yoru set sail until now, apart from killing a naval captain who was already guilty of crimes, he has not done anything particularly heinous."
"So I think he's someone we can win over."
The Five Elders looked up at the Warring States period.
Sengoku suddenly felt some pressure, but he did not compromise.
After a long pause, Saturn finally said, "What you've said is indeed a strategy."
"It just so happens that Crocodile is dead. Send someone to contact him and ask if he would be willing to become a Shichibukai."
Sengoku nodded. "What if he refuses?"
One sentence silenced everyone.
Yes, what if Yoru refuses?
What should they do? Should they send a general to attack Ye Yu?
A general cannot be easily dispatched.
"But letting him roam the sea will only make him stronger."
Saturn then spoke.
Just then, Mercury said coldly, "If he refuses, send a general to test his strength. If we can kill him in advance, that would be good. If not, then we should acknowledge his status as the Emperor of the Sea."
The Warring States period was completely dumbfounded when they heard this.
"What? The Emperor of the Sea?"
Sengoku never expected Mercury to say such a thing.
The title of "Emperor of the Sea" is not self-proclaimed; it requires the recognition of the navy.
However, sea emperors generally possess immense power; it's not enough to simply be strong.
You need at least one pirate crew, but does Yoru have one?
Or rather, is Yoru a pirate?
Yoru wasn't a pirate at all. Although they considered Yoru a pirate, they knew very well that Yoru had never done anything like a pirate, and had never even used the name of a pirate.
But why did Mercury suddenly define Yoru as the Emperor of the Sea?
Although his strength is unfathomable, he has the potential to surpass powerful figures like Roger and Whitebeard in the future.
But he doesn't have that much power yet.
Not to mention sending a general to conquer him. Although Sengoku felt that Yoru was very strong and even had the potential to surpass Roger and Whitebeard, he was only 20 years old and far from reaching the peak of his strength.
Sengoku did not believe that Yoru's current strength had reached the level of the Four Emperors, let alone facing the conquest of a general.
