A few days later, at the Chamber of Poer of the Holy land, Mary Geoise.
The Five Elders sat around a small round table, with the elderly man in a kimono seated on the sofa, holding a Den Den Mushi.
On the other end of the line was a Marine reporting on the events of the God Valley battle.
However, as the Marine continued his report, the elderly man in the kimono grew increasingly grim. By the end, he slammed the Den Den Mushi onto the table, his expression dark and furious.
"Damn it, what kind of joke is this? In this God Valley battle, we only managed to kill Rocks, and our losses were catastrophic. Out of over ten thousand elite forces of the World Government, less than a hundred survived!"
"Fifteen Celestial Dragons were burned to death right in front of our elite forces!"
"This is an utter disgrace, an utter disgrace!"
For this operation, the World Government had mobilized enough forces to annihilate any country, and even the Roger Pirates had joined in.
Yet, the result was a devastating defeat for the World Government.
Originally, they had predicted that the entire Rocks Pirates would be wiped out in God Valley, but the outcome was far from what they had expected.
Not only Nusjuro, but the other four Elders also listened intently, their expressions equally grim.
"If we had completely annihilated the Rocks Pirates in this God Valley battle, the cost might have been somewhat acceptable. But this result is a complete and utter failure!"
"Aside from Rocks' death, we achieved nothing of value!"
Shepherd Ju Peter spoke with grave seriousness, as everyone struggled to contain their anger.
"These incompetent Marines failed to eliminate the threat of the Rocks Pirates. This is a massive responsibility for us!"
"Though we can't blame the Marines entirely. The Roger Pirates are just as unreliable, turning on us without warning!"
"Moreover, our assessment of Rocks' combat power on the God Valley battlefield was severely off!"
Nusjuro gradually regained his composure and spoke in a deep voice.
"Especially Bob. According to the Marines, his current strength has even surpassed Rocks. With a single punch, he obliterated Mountain. Such power can no longer be described as monstrous!"
"Damn it, how did Bob strength suddenly become so overwhelming? According to the Marines' reports from a few months ago, this was impossible!"
Unlike Nusjuro, Topman Warcury was seething with rage. His mustache twitched as he spoke, his tone venomous. When he mentioned the name "Bob," his mustache trembled noticeably.
The biggest variable in the God Valley battle was Bob.
In front of the World Government's elite forces, he sacrificed the Celestial Dragons and instantly killed over a hundred members of the CP special forces.
Moreover, during the final assault, he annihilated the remaining Marine forces with a single punch.
If it weren't for Sengoku Golden Buddha absorbing most of the damage, several key Marine officers would have perished.
"Why his strength is so overwhelming isn't the most important issue!"
"The most critical point is that Bob power has reached an unprecedented level."
Nusjuro tightened his grip on the Shodai Kitetsu, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke.
"None of us could have achieved such a level if we had intervened!"
"This matter must be reported to Imu-sama!"
Upon hearing the name "Imu," the expressions of the other four elders changed, their faces turning serious and their eyes filled with reverence.
"Although this outcome is one we deeply despise, it has already happened, and we have no choice but to accept it" Nusjuro continued.
"Now, we must decide how to handle the repercussions of this event."
The battle of God Valley would inevitably become known to the public as the news spread across the seas. Fifteen Celestial Dragons had been burned alive, and tens of thousands of the World Government's elite forces had been slaughtered.
Apart from the death of Rocks, the man who once dominated the seas, the World Government had suffered a devastating defeat.
If such news reached the ears of the allied nations, the authority of the World Government would plummet.
People would engrave a thought in their minds: the World Government is weaker than the pirates.
Such a belief is extremely dangerous.
At best, it would lead to a loss of confidence in the World Government. At worst, it would influence the next generation's mindset.
Specifically, the Celestial Dragons would no longer be seen as sacred.
When these children grew up, they would not fear the Celestial Dragons—after all, who would revere those who could be burned alive by pirates?
Moreover, they would grow up idolizing pirates, harboring rebellious tendencies. For the World Government, this is the most dangerous outcome.
Because if these individuals united as they grew older, they could become a force capable of overthrowing the World Government.
"We must completely suppress the news. The history of God Valley must disappear! The name 'Bob' must never be mentioned again! It would be best if he vanished from this world entirely" Nusjuro declared sternly.
"Suppressing this will indeed be necessary, but it won't be easy" Jaygarcia Saturn frowned.
They had done this kind of suppression many times before and were quite skilled at it. But this time was different.
To completely annihilate the Rocks Pirates in God Valley, they had mobilized forces that had already drawn attention from various factions.
Many powerful individuals were waiting to see the outcome of this battle.
Even with oppressive measures, it would take decades to slightly cover up the incident.
To completely erase this history, it would take at least several decades, waiting for the current generation to age and a new generation to grow up.
Only then might there be a slight possibility.
"For now, this is all we can do. Let's leave this matter to the Marines! Taking action is better than doing nothing" Nusjuro said.
He knew that completely suppressing this incident was nearly impossible because the scale of it was too vast.
Even if the Marines remained silent, the pirates who fought in the God Valley battle would not.
In fact, this would become a proud tale for them to spread, boasting about their actions in God Valley.
"Additionally, no matter who it is, if anyone spreads this story, kill them without hesitation!" Nusjuro eyes flashed with cruelty as he adjusted his glasses.
He intended to ensure that those who knew about the matter would keep it buried in their hearts.
As long as it didn't spread from person to person, it might eventually be erased by time.
The other four elders nodded in agreement, silently accepting this decision.
After a moment of silence, Nusjuro raised the Shodai Kitetsu in his hand and turned his gaze toward the direction of Pangaea Castle.
After a brief pause, he spoke.
"Let's go."
"It's time for us to report to Imu-sama!"
