Rob Lucci originally wanted Jotaro to kneel down and negotiate, but instead, he himself couldn’t withstand the terrifying Conqueror’s Haki released from the other’s body and was forced into the humiliating posture of kneeling.
His body trembled slightly, struggling to keep his other knee from touching the ground.
Although his dignity was completely lost, as the loyal dog of the governnt, Rob Lucci still put the mission first.
Jotaro wanted to speak with the higher-ups of the governnt, and he could not stop him, he could only allow him to take out the Den Den Mushi.
"Hm? Who are you? What do you need to report to us?"
On the Den Den Mushi’s face appeared a thick white beard, and a pair of small eyes radiated with sharp light.
Saint Vochuli.
His deep voice carried the authority of soone in a position of power.
"I heard you were looking for !"
Jotaro’s voice ca first, and then his cold face was also reflected by the Den Den Mushi.
"Kujo Jotaro!!"
The usually calm Saint Vochuli actually showed a rare trace of astonishnt.
It was simply too unexpected.
"What did you say? Kujo Jotaro?"
The other Five Elders were also drawn over by this call.
But in just an instant, Saint Vochuli cald down again.
Why would Jotaro take the initiative to contact them?
Naturally, the Five Elders thought Jotaro must have caught wind of sothing, the fact that they wanted him to beco a Warlord of the Sea and serve the governnt.
This was a mutually beneficial, win-win strategy.
So Jotaro taking the initiative to call them ant he was softening, and in his heart he must have already agreed to their proposal.
Otherwise, why take the initiative to make this call?
They didn’t consider any other possibility.
Thinking this, the Five Elders couldn’t help but puff up their chests.
’The position we stand at is the very peak of this world.’
’What’s there to fear from soone like Jotaro? In the end, he still has to bow his head to us!’
"So it’s you." Saint Vochuli spoke calmly.
Since the matter was about to move toward recruitnt, and since Jotaro had considerable strength, even his tone couldn’t help but soften a little.
"Jotaro, since you contacted us, that must an you’ve already decided."
"After all, there’s no one in this world who can refuse the olive branch we extend."
That self-confidence belonging to those in power was fully displayed at this mont.
The other Five Elders also nodded in agreent.
"No pirate could possibly refuse to cooperate with us! But we have no interest in recruiting filthy lowlifes!"
Saint Saturn spoke with both hints and overt aning, signaling to Jotaro to seize the opportunity.
"Jotaro, your talents should be put to proper use. With your strength and influence, you are more than fit for the position of Warlord of the Sea."
Saint Mars cut in, grabbing the words.
"As long as you take the post of Warlord and work honestly for us, we’ll have the Navy cancel your bounty and even provide you with certain conveniences."
"As long as you don’t infringe on our interests, even if you plunder, kill, or burn on land, we won’t interfere."
With conditions this generous, they believed no one would refuse.
Who would choose to live life licking blood off the edge of a blade?
To control power, to turn the clouds with a flip of the hand, to overturn the rain with a wave, wasn’t that far sweeter?
"Tsk!"
The Five Elders spoke one after another, while Jotaro’s face darkened, his irritation already reaching its peak.
He hadn’t co to negotiate.
Jotaro cut them off and slowly spoke, his words instantly casting a shadow and cold sweat across the Elders’ faces.
That’s right, the content he spoke of was exactly what was recorded on that Poneglyph on Skypiea.
To the Five Elders, this was like an earth-shattering bomb.
"Although I can’t yet grasp the full picture, one day I will gather all the Poneglyphs and make their contents public to the world."
Jotaro spoke in a plain tone, but the words were ruthless.
"Jotaro! You’re actually studying the Poneglyphs! Do you know what kind of cri that is!"
"Jotaro, stop this foolish behavior imdiately! Otherwise the governnt will never let you go!"
"Jotaro! Do you intend to make yourself the enemy of the entire world?!"
The Five Elders roared one after another, yet in their hearts they were shaken beyond asure.
’Just what kind of man is Jotaro?’
’He could actually understand the ancient script and decipher the Poneglyphs!’
They didn’t know that Nico Robin had already beco Jotaro’s companion.
Only two people knew of this matter.
One was Doflamingo, who had no obligation to hand over such detailed information to the governnt.
The other was the loyal dog Spandam, who had turned into an idiot who could only say "Aba."
"You bunch of old fossils, what’s in your heads, shit? Yare yare daze..."
Jotaro stayed calm, unfazed by the Elders’ threats.
"Enemy of you? No, isn’t it rather you who want to be the enemies of , Jotaro?"
The Five Elders’ expressions, shockingly in sync, froze completely.
When had they ever been humiliated with such filthy words?
Saint Vochuli shouted in agitation, "Jotaro! I repeat one last ti! Imdiately stop what you are doing! Do you want the tragedy of Ohara to happen again?!"
"To be honest, I’m not interested in that history."
Jotaro’s words eased their expressions sowhat.
So he wasn’t really unruly after all, he just wanted to raise his bargaining power.
The Elders nodded to themselves. But then, like a thunderbolt, their expressions froze on their faces.
"But when I think about how this matter keeps you awake at night, I actually look forward to seeing your panic and your miserable state."
"Five Elders! Provoking will only make your already short remaining lives even shorter!"
Jotaro gave them no chance to reply, he directly threw the Den Den Mushi to the ground and crushed it beneath his foot.
Crunch!
Staring at the oozing remains of the Den Den Mushi, even Rob Lucci’s heart surged with waves of shock.
’This man just declared war on the governnt!’
———
On the other end of the line, the Five Elders were in a state of fury.
’Damn it!’
When had they, in their pampered positions, ever been provoked like this?
"Jotaro, you’ve brought this on yourself! Pass the order to all the Navy, from today, increase the efforts to capture Jotaro!"
The order had barely been given when a reply ca at once.
Saint Vochuli hurriedly picked up another Den Den Mushi, the voice on the other end was anxious and panicked.
"It’s bad! Five Elders, sir! Enies Lobby is about to be breached!"
"What!" Saint Vochuli frowned, unable to hide the shock in his heart. "Who is the enemy? Could it be the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Were they trying to split their forces?
"No!! The enemy is just one man! Kujo Jotaro! It’s that devil!!"
"Waaaah! Enies Lobby is splitting apart! Run for your lives!!"
The sounds from the Den Den Mushi grew increasingly chaotic, then cut off completely.
"Jotaro!? How could it be him!"
The Five Elders still hadn’t realized the true severity of the situation.
Enies Lobby, which had not been breached in 800 years, was instantly flattened by Jotaro.
With just one punch from Star Platinum, the small Enies Lobby directly split in half, even its terrain changing completely.
