Article details: The five elders carefully observed the developments in Wano, then they discovered the defeat of Kaido and Big Mom, and they became worried about the consequences. Although they couldn’t hide the truth of their defeat from the public, they wanted to limit Luffy’s role in it, trying to hide the “D.” from his name and the fact that he is the new Nika. This is because they fear Luffy’s influence, as they fear that the young pirate could instigate a worldwide uprising against the World Government if news of his exploits becomes public. known.
After the fall of Kaido and Big Mom, the Five Elders wanted to hide the truth
While Luffy was fighting, the Five Elders were discussing the situation in Wano, emphasizing that at that time, Nico Robin would be captured and it was likely that someone would die due to Kaido and Big Mom’s involvement. ; they ended up talking about a certain Devil Fruit that was now legendary and no one had seen it for centuries and the World Government gave it a different name to erase it from history.
They then ordered CP0 to eliminate the Straw Hats to prevent the consequences of his duel with Kaido. Upon learning that the emperor had removed the person in charge, Warcury suggested that it was an error in judgment because they had also provoked Kaido’s anger. Saturn points out that eliminating the biggest concerns takes priority, while Nusjuro points out that the World Government already has the Gomu Gomu no Mi, but it doesn’t reach them.
Mars comments that it is as if the fruit is running away from them, and Ju Peter declares that the Zoan Fruit has a will of its own and, furthermore, that the fruit in question has the name of a god: in fact, it actually is actually the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika in mythology.
He claimed that the latter had a body made of rubber and that he fought against all logic, besides that he was considered a “liberation warrior” who brought a smile to people’s faces . Furthermore, the fruit’s awakening ability also gives the user more flexibility and freedom of movement, to the point that it is said to be the strangest in the world.
The sole surviving CP0 agent in Wano contacts the Five Elders and informs them of Kaido and Big Mom’s defeat. Noting that Nika had appeared, Saturn said that the fall of the two emperors was a truth that could not be concealed and that the news would spread quickly, asking how others should act.
Agent CP0 confirms to them that Zunesha has left, so five comments that the country’s borders will remain closed and that, in the current situation, someone smart will change the plan, understanding that in In that case, the World Government would not be able to conquer this country with its military.
Ju Peter wondered if they could at least capture Nico Robin, which the CP0 member was sure of, but the interference disrupted communications. When Luffy’s new wanted poster was announced, the Five Elders were furious because, contrary to their orders, it still had the letter D. in the name and had a photo that they did not allow.
The marine they were talking to insisted that no such orders were given and that Guernica took the photo; The five then ordered a reprint because they could not afford to keep it circulating in its current state, and when the marines could not contact the press, they demanded that the publication be stopped at all costs. .
The five elders fear Luffy, that’s why they want to turn him into “another pirate”.
So now we know what happened and how the Five Elders reacted to Luffy’s success in Wano Country, and even though they couldn’t hide the truth from the world, thanks to “Big News” Morgans, the question of why they wanted to do that still remains. Luffy is just a pirate, while the Five Elders have the entire World Government in their hands, so why are they so focused on one boy? The reason is – fear!
The five elders fear Luffy because of what he represents and because he could become an extremely powerful symbol in the series. The letter “D.” in his name suggests he is a natural enemy of the World Nobles and with them the World Government, while the fact that he has now “become” Nika may be hope for those who oppressed by the World Government.
If Luffy becomes a beacon of hope then the Five Elders will have a problem, because Luffy – as Nika and the one with the Will of D. – will surely convince everyone that he can defeat the Government. World Government, and it made sense that the Five Elders would want to keep it a secret from them. And that’s why they tried to stop the press and the wanted posters, but fortunately it was too late.
