Chapter 205: Aimed at Me?
Holy Land Mary Geoise, Pan Gu City.
In the spacious, bright palace, because Saint Saint Saint Saiwen was signing a contract with Imu-sama, the Five Elders fell into an eerie silence.
In the silence, Saint Satan muttered softly.
"Will our positions be cancelled?"
For hundreds of years, Saint Satan had never seen Imu-sama show such an attitude of appreciation toward anyone.
It was even more intimate and doting than how she treated the bloodline descendant Saint Elaine... she seemed to want to give Saint Saint Saint Saiwen everything beautiful in the world.
If Saint Saint Saint Saiwen's ambition was great enough.
There was indeed a very high probability that he would become a new Elder of the Five from Imu-sama in one stroke.
That would also mean one of the five of them would be eliminated.
For Saint Satan, who enjoyed the supreme status and immortality for hundreds of years, this was practically no different from being sentenced to death.
How could one live without power?
Moreover, Saint Satan knew: the slots for Imu-sama's Abyss Contract... seemed to be full.
If Imu-sama wanted to sign an Abyss Contract with Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, she would first have to free up a contract slot, and the person whose slot was freed would absolutely die.
It's bad? Is this aimed at us?
Saint Vochuli hesitated and said, "Saint Saint Saint Saiwen... surely he wouldn't do such a thing?"
Saint Vochuli was actually not too sure either.
But in his heart, he was very relieved that he had always maintained a good relationship with Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, unlike Saint Satan who had once fantasized about destroying Saint Saint Saint Saiwen and the Morning Star Group.
Even if someone was eliminated, it would be Saint Satan eliminated first.
Saint Natsushiro was thinking—
Saint Saint Saint Saiwen had destroyed his first-generation Ghost Blade earlier; he surely wouldn't continue to target him.
Even if he did target someone, he should prioritize targeting Satan.
After all, the Enies Lobby Buster Plan was personally approved by Satan.
As the saying goes, the creditor seeks the debtor; if Saint Saint Saint Saiwen comes to collect his debt, he will seek it from Satan, and it has nothing to do with the others.
The other two of the Five Elders exchanged a glance and couldn't help but sigh with relief: they spoke very rarely and had almost no presence in Saint Saint Saint Saiwen's eyes.
The one with the strongest presence was undoubtedly Satan.
If Saint Saint Saint Saiwen wanted to become one of the Five Elders, the first one to be removed could only be Satan.
After understanding everything, the four Five Elders silently moved away from Satan, and the palace fell into eerie silence once again.
Seeing this, Saint Satan's forehead sweated profusely.
It's over, it really is aimed at me?
Imu-sama, please listen to my explanation!
Scenes of the past floated through Saint Satan's mind: two hundred years ago, he secretly hid the giant robot Emmet behind Imu-sama's back to study it until now.
Eighteen years ago, he even sat on the peak of God Valley reporting the situation to Imu-sama.
Such things... indeed provided grounds for death!
The more Saint Satan thought about it, the more afraid he became.
In these years, he had been blinded by power, Mengxiang Yixin wanting to be the number two decision-maker of the World Government, and had unknowingly done so many absurd things.
Before, Imu-sama had no choice but to let the five of them serve as the Five Elders.
Now that Saint Saint Saint Saiwen has made a brilliant entrance, Imu-sama has a better and more perfect choice.
Saint Satan realized: the person most likely to be eliminated first among the Five Elders was probably him, Satan.
What to do? What to do?
Saint Satan exhausted his lifetime of wisdom, thinking frantically in his mind about how to solve the Previous Dilemma.
The only course of action now is to stall Saint Saint Saint Saiwen; under no circumstances must he sign an Abyss Contract with Imu-sama; a Deep Sea Contract is completely sufficient.
Give gifts, must give gifts!
As long as he gives a grand gift to stall Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, with Imu-sama's doting attitude, perhaps there really will be a turning point.
Recalling the small treasury he had accumulated over hundreds of years, Saint Satan finally sighed with relief: Saint Saint Saint Saiwen likes Devil Fruits, so he should give a few more.
As long as he gets through this hurdle, he must be steady in the future and absolutely must not do absurd things again.
While the Five Elders had different thoughts.
Outside the Flower Chamber.
Saint Saint Saiwen did not rush to unfold the Universal Sealing Scroll; he only used the ability of the Year Year Fruit to slowly touch the surging demonic power within his body.
Attempting to crack it and simulate it.
This feeling was strange; it seemed that at the moment he signed the Shallow Sea Contract, a subtle connection inexplicably formed between him and Imu.
It was like a marker similar to an indicator light, a demonic marker specifically for Imu to possess.
At the same time, it made Saint Saint Saiwen feel an indescribable sensation: he felt like he was unclean.
He had been contaminated by Imu's demonic power.
Fortunately, the Universal Sealing Scroll was there; after the World Conference ended and he left Mary Geoise, he would seal this demonic power on his fingernail.
To avoid being possessed by Imu, his little sister.
Originally, Saint Saint Saiwen planned to seal it in his hair, but hair is too fragile and easy to fall out; fingernails are sturdier and more durable.
For the sake of all living beings, the great Saint Saint Saiwen did not hesitate to enter the game as a World Noble, Saint Saint Saint Saiwen-sama.
Such a sacrifice is truly moving heaven and earth.
But why did he suddenly feel like laughing?
"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, this way please." Imu's personal maid, Manmaiya Gunshi, extended her hand to gesture.
Seeing the military officer, Saint Saint Saiwen couldn't help but recall Brook, the user of the Yomi Yomi no Mi, and felt it was worth taking some time to coax Brook onto the ship.
After all, he was a multi-talented swordsman and musician.
As for the military officer, whose upper body was wrapped tightly while her lower body wore only black panties and tall boots, her aesthetic sense was truly unique.
Wasn't she afraid of freezing into an old, aching leg?
"Does it look good?" The military officer deliberately stopped, allowing Saint Saint Saiwen to gaze at her long legs.
Saint Saint Saiwen stroked his chin and offered his critique.
"It's passable, but it would be better if you were a bit fatter."
Having seen countless women in his past life, Saint Saint Saiwen naturally understood what kind of female figure was more comfortable.
The saying goes: if the hips are wider than the shoulders, one surpasses even the immortals.
The military officer was as thin as a bamboo pole, completely outside Saint Saint Saiwen's aesthetic range.
Yamato's figure after adulthood was healthier; at least there would be no worry about the child lacking food later.
The military officer's delicate brows furrowed slightly; she stared straight into Saint Saint Saiwen's eyes but saw not a trace of lewdness, only pure disdain.
"..."
After escorting Saint Saint Saiwen back to the palace and conveying My Lord Imu's instructions to the Five Elders, the military officer glared at Saint Saint Saiwen, turned away in a sulk, and left.
Are you crazy!
I like being thin!
Watching the military officer leave, Saint Saturn wore a smile on his face and acted particularly enthusiastic.
"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, I will take you to choose a Zoan-type Devil Fruit right away."
My Lord Imu had granted Saint Saint Saint Saiwen the power and status of a Divine Knight, equal to the Five Elders, which made Saint Saturn's heart bloom with joy.
This meant he had kept his position among the Five Elders and did not need to worry about the Abyss Contract being revoked for the time being.
But he must present a grand gift to Saint Saint Saint Saiwen.
He must delay as much as possible the matter of Saint Saint Saint Saiwen signing the Abyss Contract with My Lord Imu.
The military officer had personally served My Lord Imu for many years and certainly would not have the Abyss Contract revoked.
Then he would dig traps for the other four of the Five Elders, making My Lord Imu dislike Saint Vichy and others, thereby revoking the Abyss Contract from the remaining four.
Yes, that's what he would do!
On the way to choose a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, Saint Saturn seized the right moment to speak.
"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, if I recall correctly, you should be approaching your twentieth birthday, right?"
"Uh... there are still half a year left."
For a moment, Saint Saint Saiwen was somewhat puzzled: what exactly did Saint Saturn mean by suddenly asking this?
Was it an implication or an explicit statement?
"I see," Saint Saturn lowered his voice.
"I'll give you the birthday present first..."
