"Their fighting ability is so great that it can even sink an island. Such strength is terrifying." Even though they are the well-informed CP0 organization with strong mental fortitude.
But having witnessed the battle between Is and Acnologia firsthand, they found it difficult to remain calm.
Even though they were far from the island, the ripples and waves from the aftermath of the battle nearly capsized their ship several times.
"I remember that the island of God Valley was also sunk by Bernard Is. His strength is too monstrous."
“Not only Bernard Issa himself, but also his subordinate named Acnologia, who was fighting him, was abnormally strong.”
"The Five Elders have always been wary of Bernard Issa, and it seems there's a reason for that; his strength is now enough to threaten our World Government."
Chapter 193
"Fortunately, they didn't attack us with all their might in Beihai, otherwise it would have been terrible."
A CP0 executive member felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled what had happened a few days ago.
They all knew that Is was very strong, and his subordinates were all like monsters, but they never expected that Is and his men had become so powerful.
If Is's men had fought back against them with all their might in the North Sea that day, they would have suffered at least half casualties.
Upon reflection, they realized that their previous trip to Beihai had truly been a brush with death.
“If Bernard Iss harbors rebellious intentions, then the World Government will undergo a major reform,” a CP0 member said in a deep voice.
Currently, the Five Elders are the official leaders of the World Government, while Im is the manipulator.
If Is chooses to rebel, then Im will only have two choices: either fight or abdicate.
However, members of the CP0 organization do not believe that Im will choose to step down.
Im has lived for a long time, and although he doesn't concern himself with politics, he would never allow anyone to ride roughshod over him, even if Im is a Celestial Dragon.
How could someone who has held a high position for many years submit to the power of others and become subordinate to them?
"If nothing unexpected happens, the world government will be reshuffled soon."
The CP0 leader stood at the bow of the ship, his face grave as he surveyed the churning sea ahead.
"Which side should we take?" a member of the CP0 organization asked cautiously.
"Stand on the side of justice."
…………
Holy Land Mary Joa, the highest temple.
There are five old men here, after they witnessed the battle between Is and Acnologia.
Their faces were all very somber.
They underestimated the fighting power of Is and his men. Their battle could not only change the weather but also destroy an island. This level of combat power made it impossible for them to remain calm.
“Even if Is didn’t get the blueprints for the Hades warship, the combat power they’ve demonstrated is enough to pose a huge threat to us,” the bald old man said solemnly from the window.
"Is's growth rate has exceeded our expectations. Not only has he made tremendous progress, but his subordinates have also made tremendous progress," the old man with a scar on his head said in a deep voice.
“I always felt that Is’s strength was far more than this, and that he would improve even more.”
“His talent and growth are the most terrifying I’ve seen in hundreds of years,” another of the Five Elders echoed.
"What should we do about Is?" an old man asked a crucial question.
After he finished speaking, no one in the entire hall spoke; everyone was deep in thought.
They didn't know how to deal with Is, a person they had previously valued highly, and who seemed to have a very good character and no interest in power whatsoever.
They had always wanted to put Is in power, but Is consistently refused, which made them admire Is even more.
Because they could see that Is was not the kind of person who would stop at nothing to pursue power; it was precisely this attitude of being without desires that made him stand out.
That's why they thought Is was an excellent successor.
Because those who have no desires and no interest in power, when they inherit their positions, can not only intimidate the world, but also have no impact on Im.
····
But ever since Is chose to go to the North Sea, and after Bondiwald released the news, they have become somewhat wary of Is.
They were wary of Is in order to eliminate anyone who could pose a threat to Im.
"Could it be that our approach was flawed from the very beginning?" the long-haired old man suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" The bald old man was slightly taken aback and quickly asked.
"Have you forgotten what kind of person Is was before? He was always indifferent to power. Although there were some issues with his going to the North Sea, isn't Is himself someone we can't figure out?"
.0
"Did we start from the wrong point in our view of Is?" the long-haired old man added.
“What you said… makes some sense.” One of the Five Elders pondered the words carefully and nodded.
“Is perhaps not even plotting a rebellion. Could it be that we’re just overthinking things?” another elder said in a deep voice.
“Perhaps we have gone astray in our approach to Is,” an old man sighed.
Whether Is will rebel or not depends entirely on himself. Maybe we're overthinking it, but it's also possible that he really has such thoughts. But at least for now, he hasn't betrayed us.
"We need to find an opportunity to talk to Is about putting him in a position of power. Whether he agrees or not, we should push him into that position first."
"His disagreement might be for a higher position, such as replacing Lord Im, but if he is put in power, it is possible to assimilate him and make him serve Lord Im." III.
Chapter 194
After discussing the matter, the Five Elders decided to find an opportunity to have a serious talk with Is, to see what Is really thinking, and to stop them from making baseless guesses.
It is impossible to know Is's true thoughts.

After fighting Acnologia, Is returned to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
Several days have passed.
During this time, in the backyard, it wasn't just Is who was training; Yoriichi Tsugikuni was also diligently training his swordsmanship.
The seas were relatively calm during this period because, in the North Sea, the great pirates once again came to a profound realization of Is's power.
Is truly worthy of being called a god by the world; his strength is enough to suppress countless pirates of this era.
Because of his presence, almost no one dared to show their face or stir up trouble at sea during this period.
This period can be described as the heyday of the world government and navy, with the world's balance completely tilted in their favor.
The number of pirates on the high seas is decreasing rapidly.
"Yoriichi, that's not how you fight with a sword." In the backyard, Is, bored, was teaching Yoriichi Tsugikuni how to practice swordsmanship.
"Hmm? Is there something wrong with my movements?" Yoriichi Tsugikuni asked, puzzled.
“I’ll demonstrate it for you,” Is said, nodding.
Is's swordsmanship was decent before, but after imitating and copying Roger and Shiki's swordsmanship...
The swordsmanship theory he has mastered is absolutely the strongest in the world.
Therefore, he was still qualified to teach Yoriichi Tsugikuni swordsmanship, as Yoriichi Tsugikuni had a very strong talent for swordsmanship.
He is not even inferior to Is, but Is mastered such powerful swordsmanship by relying on the power of his Sharingan.
If he hadn't used his Sharingan to see through Roger and Shiki's swordsmanship, then Is's swordsmanship would be almost on par with Yoriichi Tsugikuni's.
The two of them were happily practicing their swordsmanship in the backyard.
Acnologia and Madara Uchiha were sleeping under the shade of a tree. It wasn't that they weren't working hard, but rather that they were already strong enough and there was no need to continue improving their strength.
"I see." Yoriichi Tsugikuni watched Is's sword-wielding movements and listened to his explanation, and quickly grasped the essence of swordsmanship.
“Let me demonstrate,” Is said.
"it is good."
Jikuni gripped the blade with both hands, repeatedly reflecting on what Is had just said and his actions.
"Shh!"
He exerted a little force in his arm, mimicking Is's movements, and swung his sword in front of him, sending a burst of sword energy towards Acnologia.
Acnologia, who was sleeping on the chair, sensed the danger and suddenly woke up. His arms were covered with Haki, which blocked Yoriichi's sword attack.
"Are you... trying to murder me?" Acnologia glanced at the two of them and said abruptly.
“No, I’m teaching him swordsmanship. You can continue sleeping,” Is said with a shrug and a smile.
He hadn't expected Yoriichi Tsugikuni to actually unleash his sword energy.
"All you do all day is sleep and not train, Acno. You won't improve your strength like this," Yoriichi Tsugikuni said, shaking his head while holding his sword.
“I’m strong enough, Yoriichi,” Acnologia said nonchalantly.
“If you keep slacking off like this, I will surpass you,” Yoriichi Tsugikuni said firmly.
“No, you can’t,” Acunorokia said, waving her hand.
"No, I can do it."
"No, you can't..."
"No, I can do it."
The two started arguing back and forth, but it wasn't really an argument, just their usual banter.
Acnologia and Yoriichi Tsugikuni have a good relationship and sometimes like to bicker, but they don't end up in conflict because of their bickering.
"Is".
Just as the two were bickering, a voice entered their ears, interrupting their conversation.
The group looked over at the sound and saw Tornado dressed in a beautiful outfit, floating towards Is.
"What's wrong?" Is asked.
"Do you think my outfit looks good?" Tornado asked expectantly as she circled around Is.
"Hmm, not bad," Is nodded in approval.
"What? It's just 'not bad'?" Tornado immediately crossed her arms and muttered, pouting.
