Chapter -19 - 50: Fifth Emperor of the Sea (1/2)
Few Days Later
World Government, Mariejois
The Five Elder had called for Fleet Admiral Sengoku to had a talk with him about the news of Marines' failure on capturing a pirate. This failure had caused the trust of the civilians on both of the organizations declining and they need to act on it.
”Sengoku, what is your opinion on this matter? These pirates openly declared war on us, World Government.” an old man with a hat over gray dreadlock asked.
”Devil King is strong. His crew were also strong. As of now, we could only take a cautious stance. We didn't had enough firepower to deal with them.” Sengoku replied
”CAUTIOUS STANCE!? This event had caused our public image declining. We can't afford for the civilians to put us in a bad light.” A bald man with glasses holding a samurai replied
”I KNOW! Our public image had also declined! Those were my men who had died under those pirates! Yet you Elders sitting here prioritising on your public image!” Sengoku shouted
”The death of your men had nothing to do with us Celestial Dragons! We care not about them! This was your job to begin with! Deal with it properly!” the youngest looking among them said
Sengoku didn't reply and quickly went out from the room with an angry expression. The door was slammed hard showing how angry he was on the Elders' attitude. As if now, he planned to find a replacement for Akainu's position or finding a new devil fruit for Akainu to use. Many things been display in his mind on his motion after this.

Whitebeard's Pirates
”Old man, it seems this Devil King was a force to be reckoned with. Even Akainu couldn't match him” said Marco towards an old man with huge white mustache.
”Gurarara, Devil King Narmi eh!? It seems so. This old man thought that he hadn't shown his full power yet.” Whitebeard replied.
