Makima smiled as she watched Doflamingo leave quickly.
Teasing kids is pretty fun, especially kids like Doflamingo.
I wonder what he'll think about today's events later.
But it doesn't matter, they shouldn't be Celestial Dragons in a while anyway.
Thinking of this, Makima had another little mischievous thought.
Should I tease Doflamingo again at that time?
After all, he's kind of a main mission later on, and he gives me a decent amount of mood points.
Thinking mischievously, Makima entered Pangaea Castle.
She didn't run into any more Celestial Dragons along the way, and she entered the Five Elders' location smoothly.
In the room of power, the Five Elders were inside as usual.
Makima gently pushed open the door and walked in.
"For you to come here in person, it seems there's been progress in the Pandora Island research."
One of the Five Elders put down the document in his hand. He glanced at Makima and said calmly.
"Of course." Makima pulled up a chair, sat down, and crossed her legs.
She took out a vial from her pocket, looked at the clear liquid inside, and told the Five Elders about its effects.
Super Soldier Serum, Makima was still using that name.
Although its effect on top experts is pretty average, it can still help a bit. And it's a pretty good way to strengthen the lower levels.
If it can be popularized, the overall strength of the Marines should go up a level.
And most importantly, it can purify the mind, reducing people's temptation to be influenced by demons.
This is the ability that the Five Elders value most. With this ability, they can better use the power of demons.
And the Marines' Garp and others were also affected by the power of demons in the previous battle with Aatrox. With this serum, they should be able to recover a lot.
"But to develop Super Soldier Serum, you need 'demon blood'." Makima said, "So, I hope the World Government will approve my application to open branches in the Four Seas. Right now, most demons are showing up in the Four Seas, where the military power is weak, and the Marines aren't good at dealing with them."
Super Soldier Serum needs demon blood?
That's definitely a lie.
Makima knows it's a lie, the Five Elders know it's a lie, and Makima knows the Five Elders know it's a lie.
But that doesn't matter.
Because this is just an exchange of benefits.
Makima's meaning is simple: allow and support The Black Order to set up branches in the Four Seas, and she will supply the World Government with Super Soldier Serum.
The Five Elders know that this Super Soldier Serum was made by Vegapunk, but they also know that it was copied with Makima's help.
Makima's meaning is simple: without the sample she provided, even if Vegapunk has already analyzed the composition of the Super Soldier Serum, he won't be able to copy it again.
The Five Elders fell into a short period of thinking.
It seems like they are getting a good deal, because both obtaining Super Soldier Serum and establishing The Black Order branches in the Four Seas are ways to strengthen the World Government.
But they are also wary of The Black Order's growth, carefully guarding against The Black Order's influence from spreading too much.
Currently, The Black Order's sphere of influence only covers a portion of the New World. If branches are opened in the Four Seas, then this influence will spread too much.
But that Super Soldier Serum is also very important. With this thing, they will be more confident in dealing with demons.
"Okay."
After thinking about it, they still felt that the Super Soldier Serum was more important, and they agreed to Makima's condition.
Makima smiled, "I heard the big recruitment is about to end?"
She asked a question unrelated to The Black Order.
"The Marines have an excellent recruit named An." One of the Five Elders said, "She's the Marines' third Admiral. You should have heard of her."
Of course, I've heard of her.
An's existence can be said to be the biggest news in the world right now. After a period of calm, someone suddenly rose to prominence during the big recruitment, going from an unknown ordinary person to a famous Marine Admiral.
And…
Still a young woman?
This just makes them think the world is broken!
The recruit training period has ended, An has successfully taken the position of Marine Admiral, and she has gone to sea three times soon after. Each time, she defeated a great pirate with a bounty of hundreds of millions or even billions. After these three times, no one doubted her strength anymore.
"I've heard of her, and I was just thinking of going to Marineford," Makima said softly.
"Oh? What do you want to do?" One of the Five Elders immediately asked.
"An's appearance is a very strange coincidence, and her strength is too strong." Makima looked at the Five Elders and said softly, "Could it... be some kind of coincidence?"
"What do you mean?" One of the Five Elders frowned.
"Although... it's a bit presumptuous, I want to confirm whether An is a demon." Makima said directly, "Although most demons don't hide their identities and directly show themselves."
"But a few clever demons will make a contract with humans in some way, using humans to help them accomplish certain things. These people are called 'demon humans', like Barrett, but more gentle."

Speaking of Barrett, the Five Elders suddenly understood.
Barrett is still locked up on Pandora Island!
"An may be a demon, or a demon human, or of course, more likely a human. I also hope she's a human, but I still want to check."
This is indeed presumptuous. Although Makima is an Admiral, she is the Admiral of The Black Order.
She has no right to manage the Marines, but since she is the Admiral of The Black Order, she has the right to investigate demons. So, strictly speaking, she is just fulfilling her duty.
The Five Elders thought about it and felt that what Makima said made some sense.
An's appearance was indeed very sudden, and they haven't found out An's past either.
But speaking of which, there's actually another person who's similar to An.
The Five Elders glanced at Makima. To say the least…
What's the difference between her, Makima, and An?
Both appeared suddenly, and both took the opportunity to join the World Government and gain high positions.
Makima is a smart person. She's saying it so clearly now because she's confident in her identity and not afraid of the World Government investigating her?
But indeed, they have been investigating Makima's clues, but they haven't gotten any useful information.
"Okay." They decided to let Makima investigate An as well, but they also had conditions.
"But no matter what, you shouldn't be investigating a Marine Admiral."
Another of the Five Elders said,
"The Super Soldier Serum produced on Pandora Island, supply it to the Marines first."
"Of course."
Makima returned a smile.
