One Piece : Glory To The Fleet Admiral

Before Gunko could leave the pavilion to carry out Imu command, Orion emerged from the gates of the opposite villa.

Immediately after, Orion and Gion walked out of the Flower Room one after the other.

Witnessing this scene, Gunko blinked in confusion and even Imu was caught off guard, her mouth slightly agape beneath her veil.

Before the two could react, a familiar voice echoed in Imu ears.

"I'm heading to the Land of Wano."

Hearing this, a faint smile inadvertently appeared on Imu lips.

She then turned her head toward Gunko and said.

"Summon the Five Elders to the Flower Room!"

"All of them?" Gunko asked cautiously.

It wasn't that she didn't understand the command, but among the current Five Elders, there were two old men who only obeyed Fleet Admiral Orion's orders.

If she rashly delivered the message, she would likely be ignored by Sengoku and Zephyr.

Im replied decisively "Ethanbaron, Topman, and Saturn!"

"Yes!"

Gunko nodded in acknowledgment.

However, this time she didn't leave.

Instead, she took out a Den Den Mushi to make the call.

Soon, Ethanbaron, Topman, and Saturn, the three Elders, arrived at the Flower Room and knelt in unison before Imu.

Sitting calmly in the pavilion, Imu glanced at the three Elders prostrating themself and said calmly.

"No need to be nervous. There's nothing particularly important about summoning you here."

At this point, Imu shifted her gaze to a box placed beside her.

"This is a box Orion left in the Flower Room. I want to know what's inside. Who among you will open it for me?"

"A box?"

Ethanbaron, Topman, and Saturn almost simultaneously looked up at the box wrapped in red cloth.

Although they had noticed it upon arrival, they hadn't known what was concealed beneath the red fabric.

Before the three could make a choice, Imu commanded in an unyielding tone.

"Saturn, you go first!"

Hearing this, Saturn eyelids twitched slightly and he felt a faint sense of unease.

What did she mean by "you go first"?

Could it be that this small box, despite his status as the God of Science and Defense, was beyond his control?

Though he harbored such thoughts, Saturn didn't dare to delay.

He immediately stood up, entered the pavilion, and positioned himself in front of the box.

Seeing this, Ethanbaron and Topman also inexplicably felt as though something bad was about to happen.

They held their breath and focused their attention on Saturn.

Unlike the reactions of Ethanbaron and Topman, Gunko silently retreated three or four steps back upon seeing Saturn approach the box.

Hmm?

Noticing Gunko unusual behavior, Saturn pupils slightly contracted.

Although he didn't understand why Gunko had reacted this way, Saturn knew deep down that his instincts were correct—this box was definitely not ordinary.

With this in mind, Saturn secretly took a deep breath and decisively raised his hands, preparing to untie the bow knot on the red cloth.

The moment his hands touched the red cloth and he began to undo the bow, a dizzying low-frequency vibration suddenly erupted, instantly spreading from the box and permeating the entire Flower Room.

In the next second—

With a resounding "hum," a terrifying Conqueror's Haki burst forth from the bow like a suddenly erupting volcano, sending Saturn flying backward.

"ARGHH—"

Under the sudden impact of Conqueror's Haki, Saturn, who was uncontrollably floating in the air, let out an involuntary scream before crashing heavily into the garden.

Seeing the figure being blasted away and landing in a face-plant position, Gunko, who had retreated several steps in time, widened her eyes in shock despite being mentally prepared.

She almost couldn't hold back a laugh at Saturn rather graceful landing.

However, Saturn was much luckier than her.

After all, she had been blasted away twice before, all the way from Marine Headquarters back to the Holy Land of Pangaea Plaza, while Saturn was only sent flying a little over a hundred meters this time.

How fortunate.

"This is—"

Ignoring Saturn condition, Ethanbaron and Topman stared in horror at the red cloth-wrapped box and exclaimed in unison.

"Conqueror's Haki!"

"Now!"

Before Ethanbaron and Topman could react, Imu suddenly spoke.

"Ethanbaron , take over!"

"!!!!!"

Ethanbaron pupils dilated in disbelief as he looked at Imu.

He was all too familiar with the Conqueror's Haki emanating from the box.

Back in the palace hall of pangaea castle, they had been forced back into their original forms by this very same type of Haki.

This meant that the Conqueror's Haki stored in the box was none other than Orion's doing.

Asking him to step up now was undoubtedly setting him up for humiliation!

But soon, Ethanbaron realized he was overreacting.

Whether it was experiencing the sensation of flying or even facing Death, he dared not defy Imu.

"Yes!"

After a brief moment of shock, Ethanbaron composed himself and with gritted teeth, flashed to the front of the box.

Without hesitation, he unleashed his energy, covering and coiling it around his hands before swiftly grabbing for the bow on the box.

"Buzz—"

Before Ethanbaron could even touch the bow, the Conqueror's Haki stored within erupted in waves, sweeping him away like autumn wind scattering fallen leaves.

"Imu-sama, I'll do it!"

Without waiting for Imu command, Topman volunteered and rushed into the pavilion, decisively releasing his Conqueror's Haki.

He then let out a roar directed at the box.

The pure and extreme Conqueror's Haki accompanied Topman roar, resonating throughout the Flower Room, colliding with the Haki erupting from the box.

BOOM—

As the two forces clashed, a deafening explosion erupted and a shockwave of air swept out from the pavilion, instantly causing Imu robe to flutter violently.

The veil on Imu face was nearly blown away.

At the same time, the Conqueror's Haki stored in the red cloth on the box's surface, which had blasted away both Saturn and Ethanbaron, was significantly depleted.

After colliding with Topman Conqueror's Haki, it gradually dissipated and finally settled into calmness.

Seeing this, Imu raised a hand to press down the nearly blown-away veil, glanced at the blasted-away Ethanbaron and Saturn, and allowed a faint smile to curl at the corner of her lips.

She then decisively turned and walked out of the pavilion.

"Gunko, bring the box."

"Yes!"

Gunko didn't dare delay and quickly stepped forward to cradle the box in her arms.

Seeing this, Topman blinked in confusion, glancing at his two old companions who had fallen into the garden.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of disarray.

***

At the same time.

As Orion and Gion walked out of the Flower Chamber and approached the exit of the Holy Land, Gion suddenly stopped and looked back.

"They're trying to open the box!"

Orion smiled faintly and said.

"Don't worry. Even I can't open that box, let alone them. The reason I sealed my Haki on the surface of the box was simply to amuse myself out of boredom."
