Chương 249: Around the world
When you find out that the people you have been serving under all this time are not what they appear to be on the surface level, it would bring shock to any person. Deep shock.
Such a thing would mean that the dedication and the long time you served were all under a lie. Although it doesn't mean your work would be reduced to zero, but the sour taste it would leave when you know your ideal isn't really worth shit. Justice this, justice that… why does that matter, when you are serving a devil?
And when you decided to confront these people for that same reason and lose, it means you need to run for your life or you might die in some inexplicable way.
This was what had happened to the admirals that had gone on to attack Im that day.
They had thought that they were serving the five elders for the better of the world. They had even turned a blind eye when the elders favored the celestial dragons heavily, even bypassing some things like slavery. Even though they knew it was wrong, they also knew it was due to these five elders and the twenty kingdoms establishing the marines that there was a sort of order to the world.
But, there was something important going on in secrecy, it turned out.
The empty throne.
The throne had gained the title empty signifying that no one person would sit on it, not any one of the twenty kings and not any random person. That's the way it should have been for the last eight hundred years, or rather it was supposed to. But that wasn't what had happened. Who knew for how long had Im been sitting on it and controlling the world silently.
Empty? No, someone was sitting there and ruling the world from the shadows, treating the whole government and marines like a big joke.
But what could they do after losing? They can't go back and pretend nothing had happened.
Their headquarters was close to Im. The subject of their unending troubles.
After Ian had dropped them, they only had a couple of options left for them. They would contact Garp and Sengoku, whom they now knew the reason of why they quit, and the second thing they did was to contact all marines under them and warn them to run as far away from Marijois and regroup.
Sengoku would be resuming his work as the leader of the marines who this time would be on Ian's side. And his first job right after them seemed to be in cooperation with the most dangerous person in the world Dragon, to get even more allies for their side. Otherwise also known as Slaves…
Well, Sengoku would say that title of the most dangerous person in the world should move on to Ian.
Of course, such a heavy move wouldn't go unnoticed by the world and the hungry eyed news people.
Thus, in the current days, many theories and reasons were made in speculation of what was happening.
Akainu who was supposed to be dead even showed up on a few photos taken secretly.
So, the most likely theory was that the world government had a split.
But in reality, it wasn't a split or something like that.
The marines were loyal only to the fleet admiral and admirals, as such, they went with them completely. But on the outside, it wasn't known that the marines were no longer under the world government, as they weren't knowledgeable about such a thing.
The only thing the vultures and news reporters managed to catch wind of was how Akainu had gone to the side of the world government and had become World Government Commander-in-Chief.
Thus, the most likely theory for them was that someone from the three admirals would become the new fleet admiral.
The only personnel Im had under her now, were those still in the blind about her reality, and they were mostly the various cp personnel.
Thus, she started her own plans at this time.

Another popular news circulating was that some of the emperors of the sea were making some big moves.
Kaido was in Wano so most of what he was doing remained hidden like usual, but in reality, he was preparing his army. After all, he was not allowed in Wano. But this was an exception so that this move can be done in secrecy.
As such he was preparing along with Shiki their armies while hidden.
The big mom pirates, who were now under Katakuri, and by extension Ian, had also been seen making moves and gathering every ally they had into their islands.
Confidential news even said that they along with Germa 66 had allied and started manufacturing various weaponry for their army.
This was why most people were thinking that a war between two emperors was about to start quit soon.
The second was that Whitebeard of all people was recalling every subordinate he has on his fleet for an important meeting.
Thus, most assumed the big mom pirates were making a move on Whitebeard to regain their lost honor when their mom died to the nightmare pirates. Whitebeard was quite old now, so the chances for them to win should be high, and thus Ian their subject of hate would appear to save the old man and they'll take him down at that time.
Truly, people's imaginations ran wild. Well, such news sold good, so the reporters made more news like that and circulated it.
Not receiving any news on Shanks didn't mean he was not moving just the same as the rest.
In fact, Shanks had very few allies to gather so he was done alerting them long ago.
And this all went right under everyone's eyes undetected. His moves were more secret than even the happenings of the land of Wano.
As for Shanks himself after he had done his part? he had gone to visit the place Ian told him about the last time they met and trained. The place his supposed father was protecting all this time, while he was fighting for himself on the seas.

The whole world was moving randomly at this time, but one thing was clear.
A war was coming. A huge war at that. Quite possibly the biggest war the world had ever seen.
And amidst all this Ian D. Louis, the one responsible for all this, had gone to the next island of the four last ones on his journey.
His fight with Urgo'v had netted no benefits, but he knew he must move forward with haste and didn't care much.
Only that way would they win the coming fight.
