One Piece: Starting By Playing Gilgamesh Template. Chapter 61 61: The Five Elders Fall into Panic

At those words—

Inside the conference room, Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Borsalino exchanged glances.

Then Sakazuki's expression twisted slightly, his teeth clenched tight as he spoke in a heavy tone:

"Esteed Five Elders…"

"I believe… he is not so lucky inheritor… nor a remnant of the Uruk Empire…"

"He is the Ancient King from four thousand years ago!"

His words—

Exploded like a bomb.

The entire Marine Headquarters conference room—

As well as the distant chamber in Mary Geoise—

Erupted into chaos!

From beginning to end—

They had refused to believe that the Ancient King was truly a being from four thousand years ago.

Because they did not dare imagine—

Just how terrifying a monster who had lived that long would be.

Not just in strength—

But in experience, knowledge, and understanding.

Even though his displayed power had already surpassed that of a Yonko—

They still clung to denial.

Yet now—

Sakazuki himself, who had fought him directly—

Had confird it.

How could they not be shaken?

Leaning forward slightly—

Even the usually composed Five Elders felt their composure cracking.

One of them turned sharply, his gaze locking onto Kuzan.

"And you?"

The room was deadly serious.

Everyone understood the gravity of the situation.

Kuzan and Borsalino, for once, had no trace of their usual attitudes.

After a brief pause—

They spoke together.

"Sakazuki is correct…"

"We were not rely suppressed…"

"We were entirely overwheld!"

"If we hadn't retreated decisively…"

"All three of us might have died there!"

"And that final attack…"

"The power of that sword—called Ea…"

"It was… a force that filled us with absolute despair…"

"A power capable of tearing the world itself apart!"

"It does not belong to this era!"

"Without true understanding…"

"No one could wield such power!"

"So…"

"That man…"

"Is very likely the Ancient King from four thousand years ago!"

As their words fell—

Silence engulfed the entire room.

Not even a needle could be heard dropping.

A suffocating, heavy atmosphere spread rapidly.

A shadow settled over everyone's hearts.

Overwheld.

Not suppressed—

But utterly crushed.

Three Admirals working together—

And still being crushed?

What kind of monster could achieve such a thing?

"A being that has lived for four thousand years… is this the terror of such existence…"

One of the Elders spoke hoarsely, his face pale.

"So that ans…"

"If those rumors spreading across the sea… truly ca from him…"

"Then all of it… may very well be true?"

Another Elder slumped back into his chair, his face drained of color.

And his words—

Cast an even darker shadow over everyone present.

Yes…

The true problem was not the Ancient King alone.

Even if he were real—

Even if he had lived for four thousand years—

He was still just one man.

The Uruk Empire had long vanished into history.

Alone, no matter how powerful he was—

He could not overturn the World Governnt.

But—

If the rumors were true…

If the war of countless races…

If the hidden powerhouses beneath the sea—

All of it were real…

Then that—

Would be a fatal threat to the World Governnt!

After all—

The Ancient King had already proven—

That he could crush three Admirals.

And among those hidden beings—

There were many at his level!

Even…

Existences that surpassed him!

If they were to awaken—

The eight-hundred-year rule of the World Governnt—

Could collapse at any mont!

That—

Was the true danger!

No.

This could not be allowed.

Even the slightest possibility—

Had to be eliminated!

Clenching his fists—

One of the Elders shot to his feet and issued orders with grave urgency:

"All CP units—halt all current missions!"

"Every agent is to investigate everything related to four thousand years ago!"

"The Marines and World Governnt—imdiately increase training intensity!"

"Begin a global mass recruitnt!"

"All Devil Fruits—are to be distributed as rewards to those with potential and loyalty!"

"Lower the entry threshold for Rokushiki training by three ranks!"

"Any strong individual with a clean background—grant them preferential treatnt!"

"They may even be directly awarded rank upon entry!"

The calm of the past eight hundred years—

Had been shattered.

And for the first ti—

The rulers of the world…

Were truly afraid.
