Chapter's Events:
—
[Red Line, Holy Land of Marijoa, The Gorosei's Room.]
"It's one thing after another with this Straw Hat Luffy... It's hardly surprising, considering he's Garp's grandson," remarked the Gorosei with the cane, commenting on Luffy's recent actions.
"What kind of connection does the boy have with Rayleigh? I never expected him to come out of hiding after all these years," said the long-haired Gorosei, more focused on Luffy's connection to Rayleigh.
"And now Jimbei has finally turned against us... We inducted him into the Shichibukai as a symbol of racial harmony. His defection will be a significant blow," added the mustached Gorosei, recalling Jimbei's recent declaration of rebellion.
"The balance between the three great powers is in shambles. How are we supposed to fill the three vacant seats in the Shichibukai?" worried the bald Gorosei, fearing the collapse of power.
"We should first observe how the New World reacts. The balance of power among the pirates must also be shifting," suggested the blond Gorosei, urging caution before selecting new members for the Shichibukai.
"Blackbeard has already made his move in the New World, and one of the rookies with a bounty over a hundred million has fallen prey to him," the Gorosei with the cane stated, acknowledging Blackbeard's rise with a grim expression.
"He is quite familiar with Whitebeard's former territory," added the long-haired Gorosei, noting Blackbeard's advantage due to his time with Whitebeard's crew.
"Among those vying for the vacant Yonkou position, Blackbeard has the upper hand. No one in history has ever consumed two Devil Fruits successfully," admitted the mustached Gorosei, recognizing Blackbeard's claim to the title.
"If anyone can stop his advance, it would have to be the Yonkou themselves... Or perhaps Marco the Phoenix and the remnants of Whitebeard's crew," the blond Gorosei suggested, knowing their options were limited.
"It's always those with the D who cause such trouble... just like Portgas... The name has become far too prominent," sighed the bald Gorosei, expressing concern over the mysterious D, a symbol of fear among the Celestial Dragons.

Marijoa, Inside the Hall of Power:
The same room depicted in the manga—the meeting room where the five elders always gather.
"This is our first appearance after the war, isn't it?" remarked Saint Saturn, observing the scene closely.
"It's strange that our identities haven't been revealed in the manga yet. Not even our first names... What's the reason for this?" wondered Saint Ju Peter, as the Gorosei exchanged curious glances.
Even the readers were left in the dark about their identities, though many of them, especially those aligned with the World Government, already knew.
"It's simply not time yet," responded Saint Nasjuro calmly, breaking the silence.
"The seas are in chaos after Whitebeard's death. What little order remains is barely holding. I wonder when the world will stabilize and return to the pre-war state," he added.
"Things will settle once Marshall D. Teach takes the vacant Yonkou seat and we fill the empty Shichibukai spots. But it's impossible for things to return to how they were before the war," Saint Mars said confidently.
