The Black Order, this is a World Government organization whose headquarters is located on the New World island 'Lilith's Egg'.
After a year, this organization has basically been established. All the buildings above have been built according to Makima's wishes, creating a domain with strong theological and religious elements.
And through the World Government's promotion, it has also attracted many people to join. Of course, there are countless spies from other forces mixed in, but for Makima, those are insignificant things.
Her power of control can guarantee the loyalty of these people, and keeping these people as double agents is also a good idea.
Like the Marines, The Black Order's supreme commander, Makima, also holds the rank of marshal. In name, she is subject to the command of the Commander-in-Chief and must obey the orders of the World Government.
But in reality, she has a very high degree of freedom. The contract Makima signed with the World Government is to fight against demons and monsters. The Black Order must do its best in this regard, and they have the right to refuse other tasks related to fighting pirates.
In the past year or so, Genichi would occasionally use Shikon Jewel fragments to create a monster for The Black Order to earn achievements, but this method was a bit inefficient.
But fortunately, it is still in the early stages. In the fabricated story, demons are all in a soul state and need to find a suitable body to appear, so the sporadic appearance of a few in the past six months has not aroused much suspicion.
And other than these, the most well-known monster on the sea is Toguro.
During this year, Toguro has also been making waves in the New World. From time to time, pirates and nobles who obtained Shikon Jewel fragments would be invaded by Toguro, who would steal the fragments.
This also let the world know his identity as a monster. In the past six months, a large number of pirates have wanted to encircle and suppress him.
However, because Toguro has no fixed route and can travel on the sea without a ship, it is impossible for people to catch him even if they want to.
On the sea, Toguro has become a powerful figure comparable to Roger and Whitebeard. (Red Count, the game character, will not be added.)
And a month ago, the World Government also issued an order, requesting The Black Order to capture Toguro.
Since Toguro is a monster, The Black Order cannot refuse. Therefore, Raijin, under Makima's orders, went deep into the New World to find Toguro.
Of course, Toguro will never be found if he doesn't want to be.
And today, Makima is communicating with an envoy sent by the World Government.
In the center of The Black Order's headquarters is a huge building like a church. Makima is sitting in the top floor office, and opposite her is a CP0 agent wearing a mask.
"Regarding the matter of dealing with the half-demon Toguro, the Five Elders are not in a hurry." The CP0 agent said in front of Makima, "After all, Toguro is powerful. If you want to kill such an opponent on the sea, I am afraid you can only use the same powerful force as when you dealt with Shiki."
At that time, two admirals plus Raijin were sent to deal with Shiki. Although the actual battlefield was not like that at all, it also showed the World Government's serious attitude towards dealing with big pirates.
And now there is only one Raijin. If Toguro doesn't want to fight to the death, it is very easy to slip away. Therefore, the CP0 agent said that the Five Elders are not in a hurry, because this is not something that can be achieved quickly.
If the strong people on the sea were so easy to deal with, why would there still be so many big pirates sailing rampantly on the sea?
Makima crossed her hands and rested them on her chin. She said casually, "Thank you for the World Government's understanding. The Black Order has not been established for a long time after all, and it is not always able to do things perfectly."
The CP0 agent pressed down on his hat and replied in a deep voice, "However, the Five Elders have a request. Since The Black Order is an organization under the World Government that deals with demons, it should also abide by the World Government's laws."
"If demons and monsters resolutely resist or commit heinous crimes, then the members of the Order can naturally execute them. But if their will to resist is not firm and their harmfulness is not high, please send them to the government's prison."
"Impel Down is additionally opening a prison to detain demons. I think... Marshal, you should also understand what the Five Elders mean, right?"
The meaning is very simple. They cannot allow the power to deal with demons to be entirely in Makima's hands. They want to study the power of demons. Whether it is using demons or dealing with demons, it can give the World Government more control.
Makima naturally understood what the other party meant. The corners of her mouth rose slightly and she said, "I understand. I will carry out the Five Elders' wishes. Is there anything else?"
According to the World Government's habits, they should conduct human experiments on demons. She has investigated this during the year. At this point in time, Vegapunk has been taken away by the Marines and has become a scientist in their service.
And even without mentioning Vegapunk, they have been researching giant soldiers for hundreds of years. Human experimentation should be commonplace for them.
From the information that Toguro revealed to them, humans can become half-demons. Although they are not true monsters, they can restore their youthful bodies.
Just from this point, very few people in this world can resist this power, and it is not surprising that it would arouse the Five Elders' interest.
The CP0 agent was a little surprised that Makima agreed so readily. They have had a lot of dealings with The Black Order in the past six months. How should I put it, Makima is not a very overbearing person who makes people feel scared when they look at her, but she has a different kind of oppressive feeling.
And Makima's replies to the World Government have always been perfunctory and casual. This time, she actually nodded so easily, which made the CP0 agent a little unaccustomed to it.
"I have delivered my message. Since the Marshal already understands, then there is no need for me to stay here any longer."
It's a strange feeling. When seeing Makima, there is always a faint sense of oppression. If it is not necessary, the CP0 agent really does not want to stay here, so he quickly withdrew at this moment.
After the CP0 agent left, Makima leaned back in her chair.
After a while, the door was opened again. Raijin, wearing a black suit and a blue mask, walked in. In name, he was pursuing Toguro, but in reality, he was doing something else.
And now, his mission is complete.
Raijin respectfully placed a Devil Fruit on the table. This is the only Logia-type Devil Fruit they have found so far. According to the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, it is the Logia-type 'Snow-Snow Fruit'.
