One Piece: Collective Viewing of the Future, Starting from God Valley

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Implement the Eradication Plan? God’s Knights, Keep Your Eyes on Monkey D. Dragon!

...

At this moment, Saint Saturn was sitting on a rock, eyes closed in meditation. No one dared to approach and disturb him.

And no one knew that right now, he was communicating with the other Five Elders.

In the Power Hall near the Flower Room in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

The remaining four Five Elders were maintaining contact with Saint Saturn in God Valley through a special encrypted communication method.

Although they could not be present in person, through the synchronized information from Saint Saturn, they already had a considerable understanding of the future revealed by the light screen and the situation in God Valley.

”Saturn, what exactly is the situation now? Is that thing’s rule still unbreakable?”

The Environment Martial God, Saint Marcus Mars, asked in a deep voice, his tone carrying a trace of barely noticeable anxiety.

”No need to try anymore.”

Saint Saturn’s voice (responding through special means, inaudible to others in God Valley) rang in the four Elders’ minds.

Carrying suppressed anger and helplessness, he said, ”All of you, stay in the Holy Land for now.

That strange thing is very bizarre. I just tried to kill those people and was instantly suppressed by its rule power, suffering serious injuries.

Now the entire God Valley is like a specially made prison. I’m trapped inside, and people from outside seem unable to enter. The situation... is very passive.”

The thought of himself, one of the Five Elders, being trapped by something of unknown origin and even publicly humiliated filled Saint Saturn with endless killing intent, but in the face of absolute rules, he could only endure for the time being.

”Even you couldn’t shake it...”

The voice of the Judicial Martial God, Saint Topman V. Warcury, carried shock.

They knew Saint Saturn’s strength very well. If even he had suffered such a major loss, the power level contained in that light screen was probably far beyond their estimates.

”Since we can’t resolve that thing from the outside for now,”

The voice of the Financial Martial God, Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, rang out coldly. He continued wiping his Supreme Grade Sword ”Shodai Kitetsu” without the slightest pause, his eyes behind the lenses gleaming with chilling light.

”Should we consider taking advantage of the fact that those future ’troubles’ are still weak to wipe them out in advance? Eliminate the root of future problems forever!”

This bald man’s proposal was filled with naked killing intent and ruthlessness, directly treating individuals who might pose threats to the World Government in the future as pests that needed to be exterminated.

The Five Elders had extremely high synchronicity of thought. Basically everything Saint Saturn saw and heard, they could perceive in real time.

”Saint Nusjuro makes sense.”

The Agriculture Martial God, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, who was wearing a suit and had his arms crossed, spoke in a deep voice to express agreement.

”The biggest advantage we have now that we know the future is that we can eliminate hidden dangers in advance. This line of thinking is correct.”

Although he agreed, he immediately shifted his tone and pointed out the practical difficulties: ”However, the difficulty lies in who exactly the specific targets are? How do we implement it?

The main threats revealed by the light screen: Straw Hat Luffy, Blackbeard Teach, Fire Fist Ace, and those so-called Worst Generation, Supernovas...

But none of these people have even been born yet! Even if we want to kill them, we have no way to do so.”

”What Saint Peter says is absolutely right!”

The Judicial Martial God, Saint Warcury, also found it extremely troublesome. He rubbed his brow.

”Most of the sources of trouble have not yet been born, and those already existing in God Valley... Rocks, Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, Kaido...

Which one of these isn’t a top-tier powerhouse of the current era? Under the condition that we cannot use full power (due to concerns about the light screen’s rules) and when the opponents are banding together...

Wanting to wipe them all out in one go would be no less difficult than launching a full-scale war, and the outcome would be uncertain.”

As he spoke, Saint Warcury paused, his tone growing heavier: ”What’s even more troublesome is that the future leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, is right here in God Valley at this moment...

And he has clearly developed extreme hatred toward the World Government. We still cannot act against him now.

Even if we could, Garp definitely wouldn’t agree and might immediately cause a fierce backlash within the Marines, or even lead to Garp and others defecting on the spot...”

The idea of preemptively eliminating hidden dangers was undoubtedly tempting, but putting it into practice faced layer upon layer of real obstacles.

The targets were either unborn or a bunch of tough nuts to crack. Rashly trying to bite them might just break one’s own teeth...

Or even trigger an earlier, uncontrollable full-scale conflict.

A brief silence fell in the Power Hall, broken only by the faint ”shasha” sound of the cotton ball rubbing against the blade as Saint Nusjuro wiped his demonic sword.

After a moment, the Environment Martial God, Saint Marcus Mars, slowly spoke. His face was gloomy, his tone carrying a kind of indifference that viewed all living beings as ants:

”In that case, what we can do for now is continue to observe and collect more intelligence about the future...

Watch for any dangerous individuals, especially detailed information about the origins, family relationships, and so on of those future troublemakers.”

As he spoke, a cold resolve flashed in Saint Maz’s eyes: ”If... if it truly becomes necessary, and we determine that certain bloodlines or connections pose an unacceptable risk,

then in the name of the World Government, we issue orders to the Marines and all available forces to launch a sweeping eradication operation.

Hunt down the parents, families, and everyone with blood ties or close connections to those remaining dangerous individuals...

And wipe them all out completely! Leave not a single one! Cut off the future threats at the root!”

Saint Maz’s suggestion was ruthless to the extreme, filled with genocidal inhumanity.

To ordinary people it was extremely cruel, but to those who had ruled the world for eight hundred years and proclaimed themselves ”gods,” this was merely a necessary measure to eliminate potential ”germs.”

To maintain absolute rule and the stability of the ”Empty Throne,” sacrificing the lives of some ”scum” was utterly insignificant.

Upon hearing Saint Maz’s words, neither Saint Saturn on the other end of the communication nor the remaining three Five Elders in the Power Hall showed the slightest surprise or opposition on their faces.

Instead, they all displayed expressions of deep thought and agreement.

”Very well...”

Saint Saturn’s voice finally came through, cold and concise: ”Treat this as an alternative plan. Continue observing, record all key information, and when necessary... execute the Root Eradication Plan.”

A shadow that might engulf countless innocent lives had quietly begun to brew in the secret chamber of the world’s highest authority.

After disconnecting the communication, Saint Saturn stood up, gave a deep glance at the light screen in the sky, then called out to Saint Garling nearby.

”Send the God’s Knights to keep watch on that Monkey D. Dragon. The moment there’s an opportunity, kill him immediately—cut the grass and remove the roots!”

Saint Saturn had not forgotten Dragon’s future. Right now, besides wanting to destroy Rocks, his second priority was this future leader of the Revolutionary Army!

”Understood!”

Saint Garling nodded upon receiving the order, then dispatched Saint Maffey and Saint Sommers to keep watch on Dragon!

If the light screen above lost its power as it had before, then these two God’s Knights killing Dragon would be as easy as blowing away dust...
