A chill of fear coursed through their bodies.
As the red-haired Shanks spoke, everyone present fell silent, their faces darkening with unease. Shock rippled through the room, though none dared voice it aloud.
The Five Elders—figures of ultimate authority within the world government—held unparalleled power over the seas. With a mere word, they could incite chaos across the globe, their influence unmatched and absolute.
Even the formidable Marine Headquarters, known for its strength, was little more than a façade for the true might of the World Government.
And yet, no one truly knew their limits.
How much military power was hidden in secret by the World Government?
No one could imagine the power behind this regime that has ruled the world for eight hundred years.
But even these five old people would feel fear?
This sounds absolutely ridiculous.
But when these words came out of the Red-Haired Shanks's mouth, everyone present had to believe it.
After all, he was the only one present who had seen the Five Elder Stars in person.
With his level of Observation Haki, although he does not have Roger's strange ability to listen to the voices of all things, he can definitely easily detect the emotional changes of other people.
What on earth could it be, or who on earth could make the Five Elders, people who stand at the top of the world, feel genuine fear?
Even the Red-Haired Shanks himself seemed unable to believe it. His throat rolled, and his face turned slightly pale.
"IMU..."
At this time, Liu Feng suddenly said an unfamiliar name.
As soon as these words came out, both Roger's and Red Hair's faces suddenly changed.
They stared at Liu Feng in horror, their pupils shrinking into thin needles!
"How do you know about Imu's existence!?"
The redhead gasped, his tone horrified.
Roger also stared at Liu Feng in amazement, then quickly turned his head to look at the Red-Haired Shanks, as if he was also very shocked that the Red-Haired Shanks knew of Imu's existence.
The others were full of confusion.
"Imu? Who's that?"
Koshiro asked in a deep voice.
From the tone of Red Hair and Roger, they could tell that this person was definitely not simple.
They had never seen Roger and Red Hair look so panicked.
Zephyr kept murmuring the name over and over again.
"Imu…Imu…"
"I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before."
The Golden Lion suddenly slapped the table and said as if he had suddenly realized something:
"I remember now. That's the name the captain Rock kept repeating back then!!"
Ignoring the shock of others, a sneer gradually appeared on Liu Feng's lips.
He waved his hand and said:
"Imu, the king of the Celestial Dragons, the master of the Void Throne, the true master of the world…. the Five Elders are nothing but dogs in front of him."
"With just one casual remark from him, he could easily remove the Five Elders from their positions. Just like the Navy Headquarters is the face of the World Government,"
"The Five Elders are merely the facade of the behind-the-scenes rulers of the world of Imu."
Roger and Red Hair were completely speechless now.
The two of them knew the name "Imu" in different ways, but they did not expect that Liu Feng was so familiar with Imu's identity and status!
"The King of the Celestial Dragons?"
"Lord of the World!?"
"What a resounding slogan!"
The golden lion suddenly sneered.
"No wonder the captain kept repeating this name. It seems this is the person the captain wants to defeat."
His captain was, of course, the great pirate Rocks, who attempts to challenge the World Government and become the master of the world.
However, even in the subsequent Battle of God Valley, Imu did not take action. Instead, Roger and the Marine Headquarters joined forces to defeat the Rocks Pirates.
"What do you know?"
"Liu Feng!!"
The Red Haired Shanks suddenly roared at Liu Feng with bloodshot eyes.
Liu Feng said slowly:
"I don't know much, that's all."
"From your reaction, it seems that this guy is not easy to deal with."
Roger hesitated at this time and finally said,
"It's really hard to deal with."
The Golden Lion suddenly turned his head and asked him:
"Have you fought him?"
Roger shook his head.
"I haven't seen him either."
"Just heard his name from somewhere."
But he didn't say much.
It seems to involve the secret of Raftel.
The redhead hissed:
"I haven't seen him either."
"It was only during a conversation that I learned from the Five Elders that such a person existed."
"Later, I searched all over the sea for information about this name and finally found some long-forgotten data."
"Imu, the king of the Celestial Dragons and the Lord of the World, is very likely an immortal."
"Moreover, he, or she, holds in his hands an amazing power, powerful enough to even destroy the world."
"And this premise is order."
There was a bottomless panic in the redhead's tone.
"That's why I stopped you from pursuing the navy and why I've been trying my best to maintain world stability over the years."
"Because as long as that person feels that he can no longer control the world situation and the rule of the world government is threatened, he will activate that kind of power and completely cleanse the world!!"
