But what he didn't expect was that after the five of them returned to the Room of Power in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, Imu's voice echoed in Saint V. Nusjuro's mind.
"How unsightly, Saint V. Nusjuro. Mu shall take it back."
Saint V. Nusjuro said in terror, "No, Lord Imu! Please give me another chance. I will definitely bring back a beautiful victory this time."
Imu ignored Saint V. Nusjuro's pleas for mercy. To her, not only had he failed the mission, but he had also lost the shodai kitetsu. More importantly...
The unsightly sight of him being beaten to his knees by Luffy made her completely give up on Saint V. Nusjuro.
A black aura was stripped away from Saint V. Nusjuro's body. He seemed to endure immense pain. As Imu's power was withdrawn, he, who could transform into a skeletal horse,
Truly turned into a skeleton, crumbled into dust, and slowly vanished within the Room of Power.
The door to the Room of Power opened once again. The King of God Valley and Supreme Commander of God's Knights, Saint Figarland Garling, walked in, taking over Saint V. Nusjuro's position as the warrior god of finance.
Saint Figarland Garling extended a hand toward the other four: "I look forward to working with you all from now on, colleagues."
Sensing the Gorosei's departure, Garp and the Three Admirals stopped chasing the Three Disasters and the Sweet Commanders all over the place, especially Garp.
As the hero of the marines, he had only fought two of the Tobi Roppo; he was practically advertising his slacking off.
Seeing that the fighting had stopped, Big Mom snorted coldly and entered the Mirro-World to leave. But before she departed, she took Jinbe, whom she had captured at some unknown point, with her.
She finally said to Luffy, "If you want to save your crewmate, come to Cake Island. I'll be waiting for you there."
"Don't worry, he'll be safe with me. At least until the next Tea Party is over, he'll be perfectly safe."
Ace wanted to step in and stop her, but Shanks held him back: "Jinbe was originally a member of the Big Mom Pirates. This is a matter Luffy must handle himself."
Hearing Big Mom's promise, Luffy also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jinbe, "Wait for me, Jinbe! I will definitely come to save you!"
Hera suddenly recalled that Sanji's true love seemed to be on Cake Island. A message was sent to Judge via transponder snail.
Judge looked at the order in his hand. Although he didn't quite understand Hera's intentions, he still passed down the instructions.
"We're going to Cake Island to arrange a marriage for Sanji."
Hearing Judge's words, Niji, Ichiji, and Yonji thought his old illness had relapsed. The three brothers, wanting to stop him from controlling Sanji's life again, closed in on Judge.
"We won't let you interfere with Sanji's life anymore. If Sanji doesn't know about this, we won't allow you to leave this place."
Judge looked at the three brothers before him and hurriedly shook his head: "This isn't my idea; it's an order from Hera."
The three brothers immediately performed a complete about-face in front of Judge: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly! If it's Hera's order, she must be the most suitable woman for Sanji."
"Maybe Hera saw some future and made this arrangement. We must do our best to see this through."
Seeing them flip their attitudes instantly, they even began to set the island in motion.
Sensing the movement of the castle, Vinsmoke Sora rushed over. When she learned Judge wanted to arrange a marriage for Sanji, she delivered a direct blow, raising a huge bump on Judge's head.
But upon hearing it was Hera's arrangement, her anger vanished instantly, replaced by anticipation for her future daughter-in-law.
"Then why aren't we leaving sooner? Thank you, Lady Hera, for being so concerned about our child's marriage."
Since Hera's arrival, Judge's family status had plummeted. Now, it was roughly: Hera above everyone else, and Judge was only slightly higher than the family pets.
In fact, after the family learned from Reiju that Hera liked cats, the status of the cats they adopted was even higher than Judge's.
Kaido also led his people away. Shanks picked up Buggy and Alvida. Mr. 3 had originally intended to follow Buggy and join the Red Hair Pirates.
But he suddenly felt a surge of pressure. Realizing Sir Crocodile was right behind him, he stiffly turned his head.
"Boss, I knew you were okay! I was just about to go looking for you."
Sir Crocodile snorted coldly, exhaling a smoke ring from his cigar: "Well, you've found me now. What are you going to do next?"
Mr. 3 stiffly turned his neck back, forcing a smile onto his face that looked worse than crying, and said, "Then of course I'm following you! You're my boss, after all."
Sir Crocodile said, "Oh, is that so? I won't force you. If you want to follow Buggy, I can't really do anything to you while you're on Shanks' ship."
Seeing Galdino's conflicted expression, Shanks offered a suggestion: "Since you're so torn, Sir Crocodile, why don't you come onto our ship for a while?"
"You don't really have anywhere to go for now anyway. Or are you planning to join the Revolutionary Army?"
After considering Shanks' proposal, Sir Crocodile nodded in agreement. However, he still set one condition:
"I can join, but you can't stop me when I want to leave, nor can you stop those who want to leave with me."
Shanks nodded: "Don't worry. As long as you can convince people on the ship to leave with you, I won't stop you."
Bullet, who had been constantly worn down, finally ran out of stamina after the Gorosei left and several major battles. He deactivated his fusion and collapsed to the ground.
"I... I haven't lost yet."
For a battle maniac like Bullet, there were so many powerhouses here, yet not one had truly fought him one-on-one; his strongest opponents had been the two Gorosei.
To him, this was nothing short of an insult.
He had thought that after Roger's death, he could rely on his own strength to take down the entire damn world.
But looking at it now, let alone the whole world, even facing just one of the Four Emperors' crews might result in his defeat.
Although Bullet was very confident in his strength, he wasn't arrogant. He could clearly perceive the strength of everyone present through his Observation Haki.
If it hadn't been for Patrick Redfield's assistance, which allowed him to ignore the treasure chest and drew Akainu away, he probably would have fallen to Akainu, Hancock, and the others long ago.
Akainu saw the Three Admirals gathered. Knowing he couldn't do anything else, he quietly left. As he departed, a World Government agent silently followed him.
The Three Admirals' Observation Haki was no joke, but none of them made a move. Aokiji sighed, "Is this his path? I hope the next time we meet, we aren't enemies."
