The Reverie in Turmoil
The grand halls of the Reverie palace gleamed with opulence and history, but beneath the polished marble and gilded chandeliers simmered a maelstrom of tension.
World leaders gathered, their whispered conversations laced with suspicion and dread. News of the mysterious infiltration and the potential sabotage of the "Oblivion" weapon spread like wildfire.
Tense Assembly
King Riku of Dressrosa stood stiffly among the gathered monarchs, exchanging wary glances with the representatives of other kingdoms.
"The World Government's grip is weakening," murmured one noble.
"But the threat of rebellion grows stronger," another countered. "We must maintain order at all costs."
The Gorosei's Dilemma
In a secluded chamber, the Gorosei convened in urgent discussion. Their faces, carved with years of authority and secrecy, showed rare signs of strain.
"We underestimated the new threat," one elder said gravely.
Imu's shadow loomed silently in the background, unseen but ever-present.
"The balance must be restored," Imu's cold voice echoed. "No mercy for traitors."
Whispers of Defection
Among the dignitaries, murmurs of discontent rose.
Some rulers questioned their blind loyalty, fearful that siding with the World Government could doom their people.
Princess Vivi, attending in her capacity as Alabasta's representative, navigated the treacherous waters of diplomacy with careful grace, seeking allies for a new future.
A Secret Meeting
Late into the night, a small group of sympathetic rulers and influential figures gathered in secret chambers.
Vivi spoke passionately. "The world cannot survive under the World Government's tyranny. We must unite, or be crushed separately."
Her words struck a chord.
The Tide Turns
As dawn approached, the Reverie was no longer just a gathering of kings—it was a powder keg primed to ignite a revolution that could reshape the world.
