Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Meeting

Pangaea Castle 

Imu sat rigidly in the high chair at the head of the Luxury table, the circlet's cold bite a constant reminder of his prison. The air hung thick with dread, the silence broken only by the faint hum of ancient machinery deep within the castle's foundations. Before him, the Five Elders and God Knights formed a semicircle of terrifying power Saints Mars, Warcury, Nusjuro, Ju Peter, and Saturn radiating cold authority; Supreme Commander Figarland Garling and his God Knights exuding lethal menace.

Imu's gaze swept over them, his stomach churning. Garling's sharp eyes missed nothing, Commander Figarland Shamrock's posture was taut with fervor, Manmayer Gunko's smile was a thin, cruel slash, Shepherd Sommers radiated unnerving calm, and Rimoshifu Killingham's sheer bulk seemed to absorb the light. The Five Elders watched him like hawks, their devotion a suffocating weight. 

"The world unravels," Imu began, his voice strained but steady. "Luffy's war declaration at Enies Lobby was a spark. Now, flames lick at our foundations. The Emperors's trouble , Dragon's revolution, and chaos spreads all over the world." He leaned forward, knuckles white on the table's edge. "I demand solutions. How do we control this? how we can make world less chaotic which is withing our control" 

Garling spoke first, his voice gravel iron. "Fear, Imu sama fear.....Annihilate the Straw Hat publicly. Erase his village, his allies. Let the world watch him burn. Then, strike Dragon's command hubs. and Show the Emperors we remain unchallenged." 

Shamrock's eyes gleamed. "Manipulation, We will turn the Emperors against each other. Feed Kaido lies about Big Mom. Let Whitebeard weaken Shanks. While they bleed, we dismantle the Revolution from within." 

Gunko agreed "This is good indeed good idea," 

Sommers folded his hands. "Faith, Imu sama. we will spread propaganda in world government's favour and control the public opinion." 

Killingham said. "Kill. kill Luffy and four emperors. you should send Us and we will Bring their head for you this is Simple." 

Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro intervened smoothly. "Brute force invites unity. Manipulation buys time we lack. i suggest that we should eliminate Luffy quietly, destabilize the Revolution internally, and remind the Emperors of our reach without open war. Controlled escalation." 

Imu's pulse hammered. Every option was a path to hell. Annihilation is good idea but it will also increase the trouble. Manipulation might fail. Faith was too slow. Simplicity ignored complexity. The current situation felt like tightening a noose. 

Then He met Everyone's gaze and said "no....not like this even if we kill all our enemy there will another new batch enemy we have to deal with will appear even if we kill them new will pop out from the nowhere" His voice hardened, masking the tremor in his soul. "We will tighten our grip on this world, we will replace Four emperors and revolutionary army with our own peoples"
