# Chapter 853: Unchanging Through the Ages!
For these Peak Experts of this World, especially those of Pirate Origin.
The collision of Strength is far more effective than Verbal Communication, in every aspect.
Many 'Talk no Jutsu' techniques common in Japanese Anime/Manga are hard to pull off in this World.
No matter what you say, if you want the enemy to stop or patiently listen to you, you can only rely on your Fist to completely defeat the opponent.
Just like now.
Im's Power move at the start, 'requiring' Sengoku, Garp, Newgate, Shiki, and others to half-kneel.
Not only did it make both sides understand the disparity in Strength.
It also further strengthened the relationship and Status between the two sides in terms of Identity.
The entire Process was confirmed in less than five minutes.
Even now that Im had withdrawn the Pressure generated by Haki, these people still maintained their half-kneeling posture.
Even the most unruly Newgate, Shiki, and Kaido, who had already been permitted to stand up but whose Expression was dark with anger.
This was true physical and mental submission, the kind where you have to obey even if you don't want to!
There was also Charlotte Linlin, who was still in a Coma.
However, Kaido had noticed that Linlin's Aura was still present and hadn't significantly weakened, which relieved him somewhat.
It was just that her Aura seemed to have changed quite a bit, which was strange.
The following Process entered the normal Question Segment.
Sengoku primarily asked the questions, representing the group, with Tsuru supplementing him. This was what the Higher-Ups had discussed beforehand.
The general Content wasn't complicated, but every point had a huge impact.
For example, they confirmed Im's Target, the World Government's subsequent Development Path, and the Sea Star Civilization's Future Direction.
Im indeed didn't hide anything.
He even told them about the future plan to abolish all State Power within this World and centralize all Military and Political Power in the World Government.
Anyway, his existence was already semi-public.
Moreover, he had already decided to announce this Matter and vigorously promote it at the next Reverie.
At that time, these 'Highest Combat Power' would definitely be needed to handle the potential Riots that might occur in Various Places, so he was giving them a heads-up.
"What?!"
As expected, after hearing this Content, except for the Five Elders who remained Composed and half-knelt at the very front, the twelve people behind them, including Sengoku, all had drastic changes in Expression.
Unifying the internal Regime of this World!
If this were to spread, it would definitely cause an Uproar among the various Nations outside. It was unclear how many Kings would dare to raise troops and rebel over this.
After all, they had more or less witnessed the World Government's Conquest Process of Otherworlds in recent years.
They should Understand very well that anyone who dared to resist would 100% end up in failure.
But Authority is poisonous.
No one knew which Kings and Nobility would have their Minds confused by Human Desires and take some crazy Actions.
On the other hand, there was no need to worry about the Commoners.
With the World Government's current Reputation and Popular Support in this World, very few people would oppose this Matter.
Perhaps they would even feel Delight at no longer having Kings.
However, the Situation of a few Kingdoms was quite special.
For example, Alabasta, Fish-Man Island, Flower Country, Dressrosa, and some Kingdoms primarily composed of Minority Races.
The Royalty of these Nations are deeply loved and respected by their Citizens, so there would likely be many resistant Citizens at that time.
So many Considerations.
They surfaced in Sengoku's mind in an instant.
But just as he had vaguely felt that having a powerful leader was more beneficial than harmful to the World Government currently engaged in the Conquest of Myriad Worlds.
He now also felt that, from a long-term Viewpoint, it was the correct Choice for the World Government to unify the Regime on this World.
After all, the Principle that a Palm is strongest when clenched into a Fist is very simple.
Moreover, aside from a few excellent Kings.
The existence of most Kings did not have much Positive Significance for the Construction and development of their respective regions.
Instead, due to Human Desires, they would cause the Citizens more Suffering.
In comparison.
Perhaps it would be much better to abolish the Kings and replace them with Government Officials who change every few years to handle the Management?
Anyway, Sengoku felt it couldn't possibly be worse than those Kings!
These thoughts.
Sengoku also spoke them out without the slightest concealment, and he was also saying them for the rough guys beside him to hear.
Because in his Viewpoint, Im was willing to tell them such an important Matter in advance during their first Meeting, which showed Sincerity and Trust.
Then he should also respond sincerely and do his best.
"Well said, Sengoku!"
Im, seated high on the Empty Throne, looked at him with a Gaze that showed appreciation.
The Position of Fleet Admiral was indeed a waste of his talent.
Such Scope, such Wisdom, it was a pity he wasn't a Celestial Dragon, otherwise, he would even want to promote him to the Position of Five Elders.
However, the Position of Commander-in-Chief was destined to belong to Sengoku.
When Kuzan is a little older, Kong can also retire successfully and yield the Position to Sengoku, while becoming one of the World Government's Behind-the-Scenes Foundation.
"Wait a minute, what about This Old Man's Whitebeard Kingdom?"
At this moment, Newgate couldn't help but speak up and ask. His Kingdom had only been built a few years ago, and now it was going to be gone?
This Nation, to him now, was no different from home.
Im did not answer.
Seeing this, Sengoku quickly explained on his behalf: "At that time, it can be your Territory, it just won't be a Nation in name, other things won't change much."
"Hmm."
Newgate pondered for a moment, glanced at the figure of Im above, and nodded with a calm Expression: "Hope so."
He truly didn't care much about the Identity of a King.
"Old... Can I also ask Lord Imu a question?"
Garp originally wanted to refer to himself as This Old Man, but then remembered that Im's Age was several hundred years, so he immediately changed his wording.
His speaking up caused Sengoku, Tsuru, Zephyr, and others to feel their hearts tighten, worried that this guy would say something inappropriate again.
"Granted."
Im casually uttered clear words.
"I want to know, is it true that as long as we Transmute the 'Three Colors Combined, Colorless Haki' that you gave us Guidance on before, we can reach your current Strength Level?"
Garp, half-knelt on the Red Carpet, asked seriously with a heavy tone.
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone present, including those few Five Elders, uniformly raised their heads, waiting for Im's reply.
"Yes."
Finally, Im answered. As soon as these two words appeared, those who possessed Conqueror's Haki had faces filled with Delight.
Meanwhile, Raimon, Zephyr, Sakazuki, and Kuzan, who did not possess Conqueror's Haki, immediately had dimmed Expressions.
What was interesting was that Garp's gaze also flickered with unconcealable surprise.
But doesn't he not have Conqueror's Haki?
Who would have thought that Im's words hadn't finished speaking, and when he finished speaking, everyone's varied Expressions instantly froze.
"Yes... reach the level of five years ago."
A sentence with pauses and emphasis, yet it struck the people below as if they were hit by lightning.
Five years ago!
Before Roger's public Execution, and before the Star Gate appeared, although it was only five short years, who among the people present hadn't seen a clear improvement in their Strength?
Oh, right, Shiki hadn't.
He was at most considered recovered to the level of five years ago.
But Im hadn't experienced the Imprisonment of Infinite Hell. Suddenly, everyone's gaze focused on Edward Newgate.
Garp was the first to ask: "'Whitebeard', when were you defeated by Lord Imu?"
Have to say.
Calling him Lord Imu became smoother and smoother for him.
"Sigh."
Newgate was silent for a long time, finally sighed, and answered in a deep voice: "Four years ago, my Murakumogiri was cut off with one strike!"
The Atmosphere suddenly fell into Dead Silence, and the Air Pressure in the entire Main Hall seemed to have changed.
Only Im's cold, deep gaze calmly watched them.
Like the unchanging Moon since ancient times.
