In the vast and opulent hall of one of the buildings of Mary Geoise, a tense silence hung in the air, interrupted only by the subtle sound of hurried footsteps and the murmur of worried conversations. Leaders from the highest echelons of the World Government were gathered, all with grim expressions, as their eyes turned to a specific object on a central ornate table. There should have been a Vivre Card, which had burned to ashes.

"Saint Julius Armango..." said one of the agents.

"He's dead..." said another.

Shock and disbelief took over the room. A second Tenryuubito had been killed in such a short span of time. It was something that had not happened for hundreds of years and was not even recorded.

"Not just a Tenryuubito, but a holy knight, one of the highest levels of the World Government, second only to the 5 elders in combat strength," said another.

Meanwhile, footsteps entered the room, and all the high-ranking officials fell silent, 7 people dressed in the same manner as Saint Julius entered the hall. Everyone bowed their heads at that moment.

"They are... the 7 most powerful holy knights," said a short agent.

"Yes, all of them have the strength of a navy admiral."

"What will happen from here on out?"

"Let's just bow our heads, they are all Tenryuubito, but also a force that only the 5 elders can command..." another spoke.

The 7 mentioned people walked up to one of the 20 stands with the 20 Vivre Cards of all the holy knights, now this number had dropped to 19.

"Saint Julius died to the pirate he was hunting? How can this be possible?" said a female voice.

"It seems so, Saint Venus," said Saint Mercurio, an elderly man by her side.

"What are the orders from our superiors?" spoke a tall, thin man, known as Saint Marte.

"They are discussing what to do, even though the pirate Monkey D. Luffy has defeated 2 Shichibukais and a Vice-Admiral, Saint Julius's strength should have been enough to destroy him, but that's not what happened," said Saint Urano.

"Shouldn't we go destroy him?" Saint Jupiter spoke while posing with her feminine body.

"Let's wait for the orders," said Saint Terra.

"What a drag, we've already lost 2 Tenryuubito, these insignificant beings think they got away with this?" said Saint Venus.

"Anyway, let's wait, but I doubt this pirate will last long when we are dispatched," concluded Saint Neptune.

Elsewhere. "Are you saying that not even Kuzan can stop him?!" Saint Saturn, one of the former holy knights, growled into the den den mushi.

"That's what I'm saying... we had a failure in gathering information..." Sengoku said on the other side with quite a bit of frustration and continued. "Kuzan reported that he fought for a few hours, but, Monkey D. Luffy could be slightly below Kuzan, but his flames gave him an advantage against the admiral's ice..."

"You're hesitating... what else?" Saint Marcus Mars spoke next to him, stroking his beard analytically.

"It seems the pirate is a dual akuma no mi user..." When Sengoku said these words, the room froze a bit.
