"Two Celestial Dragons, he wants 50 billion as ransom."
"Doflamingo, that guy, is truly audacious, completely forgetting his former status!"
"Continuing to wait won't lead to any improvement; their so-called reforms are indeed making the World Government very uncomfortable!"
The Gorosei gathered again to discuss.
Their expressions were not good, clearly, the current situation of the New Government made them very uncomfortable.
They couldn't make changes. If they did the same as the New Government, the affiliated countries would abandon them without hesitation. The reason they chose to join the World Government in the first place was because the World Government had the power to protect their status, allowing them to continue their tyrannical ways.
If they lost this premise, why would they serve the Celestial Dragons and the World Government like dogs?
This time, Doflamingo personally called to threaten them, which made them extremely displeased, because in the past, Doflamingo didn't even have the qualifications to speak with them; he had to be extremely humble to see them. But now, being directly threatened by name made them furious.
"Ultimately, it's still a lack of strength. We can't solve this now; we can only seek an audience with Imu."
"It can only be so!"
"This time, we must thoroughly purify this world and fill it with peace!"
The Gorosei thought for a long time and finally decided to find someone more powerful to resolve the issue.
They saw clearly that their current strength was insufficient to suppress these people, which was why they were so rampant.
Strength was everything; they saw it more clearly than anyone, so they didn't care about the lives of ordinary people.
"This time, I should have completely offended the Gorosei."
Although he said that, Doflamingo's smile was very bright.
In the past, he never imagined he could threaten the Gorosei, the five true wielders of power in this world.
"If those two Celestial Dragons are unwilling to be ransomed, then let reporters expose their actions and completely unmask the hypocrisy of the Celestial Dragons."
"Also, you can try to contact the Celestial Dragons to see if any are willing to surrender. Perhaps there are some among them, like your father, who hope to see peace. Such people can serve as examples."
Uchiha Tamahiko said to Doflamingo.
Naturally, all these extortion matters were left to Doflamingo, as he was now undergoing the process of 'god-making,' and such things were not suitable for his image.
It was very reasonable for Doflamingo, with his villainous identity, to do it.
Now, Uchiha Tamahiko was preparing to widely suppress the World Government. Truth-Seeking Orb could now be stably maintained at its limit of nine, Sage Mode could be activated instantly, and his body's recovery ability was absolutely no less than that of an awakened Zoan type, even limb regeneration was possible, though it required a bit of time.
Aside from the Ope-Ope no Mi not yet being awakened, other aspects had reached the top tier of the Ninja World.
Uchiha Tamahiko could already control the Gedo Statue to transform into the God Tree, and he could also perform Infinite Tsukuyomi, but it required a bit of time, not as fast as Six Paths Madara.
"Hmm."
Thinking of his father, Doflamingo's expression turned cold, but he didn't refuse Uchiha Tamahiko's arrangements.
There was nothing left for Uchiha Tamahiko to do; collecting money had already been arranged for Kakuzu, who arrived with his team yesterday. He was a professional and would not take a single penny less.
Uchiha Tamahiko was preparing to formally poach the Marine. Without the Marine, the World Government would have no threat, and the New Government's expansion would no longer have too many restrictions, allowing it to proceed smoothly.
While Kakuzu was collecting money, Uchiha Tamahiko took out the Den Den Mushi he hadn't used in a long time and dialed Sengoku's signal.
"Buruburu."
"This is Sengoku!"
Sengoku said after answering.
"Are you ready to poach all the Marine elites?"
"I'm already prepared to receive the Marine at any time."
Uchiha Tamahiko asked directly.
The money from Tesoro was more than expected, enough to absorb the entire Marine without too much pressure. Moreover, the New Government, which had been operating for almost a year, could collect taxes to maintain the necessary funds for the Marine.
Having money to offer was the most practical thing; Uchiha Tamahiko wouldn't just trick them over.
Hearing Uchiha Tamahiko's voice, Sengoku was a bit surprised, but quickly composed himself, pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Don't we need to wait a bit longer?"
"The New Government is expanding very quickly. In less than a year, can it stabilize its current territory?"
Sengoku had some concerns.
He knew that if he took this step and it didn't go well, he would be a sinner to the Marine for so many years.
He had also thought about betraying Uchiha Tamahiko, but seeing the New Government's methods, everything was done in a way that minimized casualties, with only wealthy merchants and nobles suffering losses. Only then did he officially approve Uchiha Tamahiko's plan.
So he hoped for reform to proceed in the most stable way possible.
"Right now, it's basically all about giving out money. Besides those nobles who are imprisoned and working to atone for their sins, who would want to destroy the New Government?"
"I just got a very large sum of money, enough to stabilize the situation. And continuing to wait, we don't know what might come up."
"If you're unwilling, then I'll personally take action against the Marine. Before, it was just poaching people, not killing them."
Uchiha Tamahiko threatened.
But in reality, he was preparing to use Infinite Tsukuyomi to open a Marine brainwashing class and completely hollow out the Marine.
However, Uchiha Tamahiko intended to save Infinite Tsukuyomi as a trump card and did not want to expose it now.
"If you're confident, then alright!"
"What do you want me to do?"
Sengoku was silent for a while before speaking.
In this situation, going to war with Uchiha Tamahiko would undoubtedly be a crushing defeat. He did not want to see massive losses for the Marine, and most importantly, it would be meaningless.
At this moment, he only hoped that the World Government was truly this incompetent and that the transition to the New Government would happen as quickly as possible.
"Start by poaching Fujitora, then Borsalino. Notify Sakazuki last; he should be very difficult to persuade, so I can personally take action to capture him first."
"Garp, Zephyr, and Tsuru, that shouldn't be difficult for you, right? As soon as you're ready, I will immediately arrange personnel to take action in the East Blue, West Blue, and the first half of the Grand Line."
Uchiha Tamahiko arranged.
Fujitora should be the easiest to persuade. As for Borsalino, Monkey D. Dragon hasn't revealed whether he's an undercover agent, so he's still included in the plan.
Moreover, large-scale operations are now possible because the Ninja World there is basically finished. The rest is normal development, and the Ninja can be dispatched to work for the Ninja World Federation.
The Ninja World War, a joint effort of the Five Great Villages, has now become the Five Great Villages jointly invading the Sailing World.
"I understand!"
Sengoku sincerely agreed.
By saying this, he was truly betraying the World Government he had served for many years, and his heart was still very complicated.
However, recalling all the messes he had cleaned up for the Celestial Dragons over the years, he felt disgusted and thought the New Government was better.
