"Honorable Five Elders…"

  At this moment—

  Atop the Red Line, within the Chamber of Authority in Mariejois, a CP0 officer dashed in, drenched i, to deliver his report.

  "We’ve just received word—an intetle broke out on Alvia Isnd. Witnesses reported seeing Fallen Angel El!"

  "It’s highly likely that the 'Gale Swordsman' has already been targeted by him. His survival seems improbable!"

  "What!?"

  The Five Elders’ expressions darkened.

  They rose to their feet, visibly armed and enraged.

  "What’s going on?!"

  "Why is Fallen Angel El suddenly appearing in the first half of the Grand Line? Didn’t he just annouhe founding of some 'Totto Land Kingdom' in the New World?"

  "It’s likely due to the Paramecia Mirror-Mirror Fruit. He must be using the Mirror World for rapid transportation," the CP0 officer cautiously replied.

  "As for why the 'Gale Swordsman' was targeted, it’s possible there’s a mole within the Wover. I’ve already ordered a full iigation."

  "Bang!"

  The sound of a table being smashed echoed through the room.

  "Damn it! Oep behind again?"

  "That damn Fallen Angel El!"

  "That crafty Lunarian brat! He’s too ing!"

  The Five Elders’ faces were ashen, their anger and frustration palpable.

  They had been preparing to recruit a civilian powerhouse to bolster the Navy’s strength by making him an admiral.

  But before their pn could unfold, El had already caught wind of it and elimihe didate—a powerful swordsman who ractically a future admiral.

  "It seems CP has been infiltrated far more deeply thahought."

  Saint Nasujuro’s face twisted with malice as he spoke.

  "The only ones privy to this information were CP, ourselves, Fleet Admiral Hammons William, and Admiral Kong!"

  Naturally, they excluded themselves.

  her Fleet Admiral Harmons William nor Kong could possibly be traitors.

  The only expnation was that CP had been promised by the Fallen Angel Pirates.

  "Indeed, a purge is in order," Saint Saturn decred, gripping his e tightly, his tone brimming with murderous i.

  "We’ve also overlooked the threat posed by the Mirror-Mirror Fruit…"

  Saint Mars paced the room, his face grim with unease.

  "That treacherous brat El has such a dangerous ability in his hands. It’s possible he could infiltrate Mariejois without us even knowing."

  "Honorable Elders, the Mirror-Mirror Fruit allows its user to travel through the Mirror World to aing mirror," the CP0 officer remihem.

  "Acc to the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, any mirror marked by the user be accessed. Gss mirrors be resized at will, but they must remain intact. However, metallic mirrors ot be resized or marked as easily."

  As the CP0 officer expihe Five Elders’ faces grew darker.

  They exged gnces and quickly reached a decision.

  "Issue an order: All gss mirrors in Mariejois must be smashed immediately—no exceptions, even in the homes of the Celestial Dragons!"

  Saint Saturn’s icy gaze bore into the CP0 officer.

  "All mirrors must be repced with metal ones, ner than an apple. When not ihey are to be locked in soundproof tainers and stantly monitored to prevent any eavesdropping or infiltration!"

  "But the World Nobles…?"

  The CP0 officer hesitated.

  The arrogant and domineeriial Dragons would not easily cooperate.

  If they refused, CP0 cked the authority to forcibly implement such measures.

  "This isn’t up for debate. Tell them it’s a unanimous decision from the Five Elders!"

  Satan Saint crossed his arms, his voice cold.

  "Warn them: If they don’t want to end up like Saint Fenix and the others, abducted from their rooms without a sound, they’d better cooperate!"

  "Uood, I’ll see to it immediately!"

  The CP0 officer bowed and turo leave.

  "Wait…"

  Saint Mars called him back, rubbing his temple as he added:

  "CP must find a way—at any cost—to elimihis Mirror-Mirror Fruit user!"

  The Five Elders uood all too well the threat posed by such a power in the hands of the Fallen Angel Pirates.

  There’s no such thing as a perma defense against a determined intruder.

  This hidden danger had to be eradicated.

  "Yes, my lords!"

  …

  Later that evening...

  The su in the west.

  In the New World, withito Land Kingdom, El and Gerd returriumphantly.

  They brought back the newly created six-winged fallen angel robot, Wrath of Sin, Samael, as well as the Paramecia Repel-Repel Fruit ability. Meanwhile, Barry and the others remained in the Mirror World to ehe phase of their pn.

  "The Seven Deadly Sins… finally plete?"

  Linlin examihe six-winged fallen angel, Samael, and smiled faintly.

  "Sally, how’s your side ing along?" El asked directly.

  Sally chuckled softly. "Hehe, for someo death’s door, with one foot already in the grave, do you think they’d refuse the ce tain their youth?"

  Linlin pouted, clearly displeased. "That was my one and only ce wasted on her… Allowio bee one of my Bloodborne was a mercy. She got off easy!"

  If the Fallen Angel Pirates didn’t currently ck high-level batants, she wouldn’t have bothered with someone like that.

  "At least she’s a rare Mythical Zoan user with the Kamaitachi form. At her peak, her strength was parable to a Navy Admiral. She’s barely worth the trouble," El replied with a smirk.

  Blood Servants and Bloodborne were new abilities developed by Linlin.

  By draining a target’s blood and repg it with her own, refihrough her Mythical Zoan Vampire Form, she could transform the target into a Blood Servant—a puppet under her plete trol.

  Although these Blood Servants were still alive, they had lost all self-awareness and funed as mindless dolls, obeying her every and. Their bat strength relied solely on primal instincts, simir to the jailer beasts.

  Bloodborne, oher hand, was different.

  It was akin to the “First Embraythical vampires. Bloodboraiheir personality and sciousness, unlike Blood Servants, and also gained partial powers of the Mythical Zoan Vampire Form.

  They could transform into vampires, granting them abilities equivalent to users of the A Zoan Bat Form, and their powers wouldn’t flict with any Devil Fruit they already possessed.

  Moreover, as a Mythical Zoan Vampire, Linlin could trahe lifespan she had stolen to her Bloodborne, granting them eternal youth.

  In theory, as long as Linlin remained alive and willing, her Bloodborne could retain their youth indefinitely and avoid dying of old age.

  However, there was a tradeoff: Bloodborne could never disobey Linlin’s will, binding them eternally as her servant.

  Currently, Linlin could only create orue Bloodborne.
