Without much thought, Is followed.
Not long after they left, another person from the World Government came over.
"I'm sorry, Master just went out with your people," Rhodes Minian explained.
The World Government official smiled slightly and then explained, "I'm not here to see Lord Bernard Issain!"
"Then who are you??"
"Besides meeting with Lord Bernard Issain, the Five Elders also need to meet with Lord Bernard Issain's personal bodyguard."
Upon hearing this, Rose Minnian didn't think much of it and shouted into the castle, "Lord Madara, Lord Tatsumaki, Lord Unohana Retsu, Lord Acnologia, Lord Yoriichi, someone wants to see you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Madara Uchiha and his group arrived in the hall and glanced at the World Government official.
"Who wants to see us?"
"It's like this, sirs, the Five Elders, the highest leaders of the World Government, wish to meet with you." The World Government personnel clearly felt a sense of pressure, and their tone of voice changed slightly.
"all?"
The World Government personnel nodded. Although the Five Elders hadn't specified the exact number, only that they were bodyguards for Is, they decided to simply call them all over.
"Alright then, let's go change into something more formal, so as not to embarrass Is."
Madara Uchiha said something casually, and was about to turn around to change his clothes when the World Government official continued.
"My lords, there is no need to change your clothes. The Five Elders will not mind."
Upon hearing this, no one said much, they simply nodded.
"What does that... Five Elders want with us?" Acnologia asked.
"My lord, I am merely a messenger and have no idea what the Five Elders want with you gentlemen."
"We'll find out once we go take a look. Lead the way!"
"Yes, sirs, please follow me!"
Meanwhile, inside a magnificent castle in Pangu City, the four elders were unaware that an extremely powerful and formidable group of figures was about to arrive!

Chapter 71
"Tap tap..."
"Tap tap..."
In this quiet, windy, and dark night, the lights seemed out of place.
Within the enormous castle, crisp footsteps echoed all around, like a strange melody.
On the gleaming floor, the shadows of men with long swords hanging from their waists were reflected.
A moment later, the World Government personnel stopped in front of a huge door, then turned to Madara Uchiha and his group behind them and spoke.
"My lords, this is the place."
Without waiting for Madara Uchiha and the others to reply, he forcefully pushed open the door with both hands.
"go in!"
"Ok!"
Everyone nodded and stepped inside.
The interior was dimly lit, but that didn't affect Madara Uchiha's and his group's vision.
Inside, four elderly men sat on sofas to the left and right of the front, having been waiting there for quite some time.
The four elders originally intended to intimidate Madara Uchiha and his group, but when Madara Uchiha and his group stepped in...
The foreheads of all four elderly men were covered in a dense layer of sweat.
Yes... they all undoubtedly sensed the aura of powerful individuals emanating from Madara Uchiha and his group.
Good grief, we originally wanted to intimidate them, but we never expected that we would be the ones intimidated instead.
Clearly, all four elderly men had this question in their minds.
where are they from?
Where did Is find these people?
Why are they willing to protect Is?
"Huh? Why don't I see Is? Didn't they say Is was also called away by that Five Elders?"
Although the lighting inside was dim, the surrounding objects were still roughly visible. After scanning the area, Tornado uttered this question.
"Did we go to the wrong place?" Acnologia asked, puzzled.
“It can’t be that bad. With the World Government leading the way, how could we possibly go the wrong way?” Yoriichi Tsugikuni chimed in.
"You...you didn't go to the wrong place!!"
Suddenly, the old man with the knife sitting on the sofa spoke up to explain.
"The Five Elders are not one person, but... five people. That kid Isna is in another castle, discussing things with one of our Five Elders."
"Oh, so you mean you want to meet with us alone???"
Madara Uchiha, who hadn't spoken until now, grinned and said, "Yes, he seems to have vaguely sensed that things aren't as simple as they seem."
“You’re right. First of all, we’re not doing this with any hostility. What we’re doing is undoubtedly for Is.” The old man with long, straight white hair said.
“What you’re saying is useless if Is doesn’t agree. No matter how much you tell us, it’s all for nothing.” Retsu Unohana smiled slightly, her tone very gentle, unlike Madara Uchiha’s harsh tone.
“Madam, of course we know what you’re saying. Of course, we’ve called you here not to discuss anything big, but something trivial that is of great benefit to us, to Is, to the World Government, and to the whole world.”
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.
"puff!!!!"
Acnologia couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Sorry, sorry, I just couldn't help it. But you call something that benefits you, Isaac, the World Government, and the whole world insignificant?!"
"You don't need to waste time with all this nonsense. Everyone's busy, let's get straight to the point!" Madara Uchiha said again.
Although the Five Elders also exuded the aura of powerful figures, the people on Is's side showed no emotion whatsoever; in fact, they even seemed excited and wanted to test the old men's skills.
“Alright, let’s get straight to the point.” The old man with the sword stood up and slowly approached Yoriichi and the others as he continued.
"To be honest, we asked you to come here so that you could help us persuade Is to join the Celestial Dragons' power structure. That... is the right path for him."
“If you can’t persuade us, how can we, sir?” Retsu Unohana replied.
The four elders, as if filtering through Retsu Unohana's words, continued.
"If you help us with this, we can give you whatever you want: money, power, women, or... status!! The choice is yours!!"
"If that's all you're trying to say, then you've come to the wrong person," Madara Uchiha said calmly.
“That’s right. You can only discuss this with Is. We won’t interfere or do anything unnecessary.”
"If there's nothing else, I think we should leave."
One by one, the crowd spoke up. It was clear that they were not interested in power, money, women, or status, and they did not want to do these meaningless things.
Upon hearing this, the four old men's faces turned extremely grim. Indeed, from the moment they stepped into this hall, they knew that things had far exceeded their expectations.
"Shh!"
Suddenly, the old man with the knife drew his long sword, his Armament Haki covering the blade. Although his body was withered, his speed was still extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared above, wielding his long sword and slashing towards Uchiha Madara.
"brush!"
Yoriichi Tsugikuni quickly drew his sword and then leaped into the air.
"boom!"
The two long swords clashed together, and a powerful gust of air began to spread outwards.
"Is this the style of doing things that you came to us to discuss?" Madara Uchiha sneered.
As soon as Madara Uchiha uttered these words, everyone prepared for battle, and the aura of a ferocious beast quickly filled the entire hall.
The old man with the knife leaped and landed on the ground, then calmly put away his long knife.
"It's a blessing for Isna to have a group of partners like you," the old man with the knife said, and slowly sat down on the sofa.
"You can leave now. Of course, what we just said will always stand. When Is joins the power structure, whether or not you persuaded him, we can agree to the conditions we just promised you!"
"Farewell!"
Madara Uchiha ignored them, and the group turned around and slowly left, without even closing the door for him.
Watching the figure disappear into the distance, the four old men sighed deeply.
"As expected... just as I thought, things have completely exceeded our expectations."
"I just tested it, and it's not an illusion, but... those five are undoubtedly among the best of the best."
"That kid Is is getting more and more unbelievable to me. First it was the Roger Pirates and the Mary Geoise incident, and then it's his followers. Things seem to be getting more and more interesting."
"yes!!!"

Chapter 72
About ten minutes after Madara Uchiha and his group walked, footsteps sounded again in the corridor.
Soon, a bald old man hurriedly walked in.
"boom!"
He casually closed the door, then walked towards the other four old men with a slight smile on his face.
"How did it go? Was my method okay?"
"It's alright if it's done well, but... it's completely useless against those guys." The long-haired, white-haired old man replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, the bald old man was slightly taken aback, and after scanning the four old men again, he confirmed it.
"You mean... he failed? That's impossible. There's no reason for him to fail. Could it really be as you say, that his bodyguards, like that kid Is, are completely uninterested in power, money, and status???"
