"Wang Han is too powerful, and his abilities are too numerous and comprehensive. It would be too difficult and too costly to kill him by force. So, until we find a way to kill him, we cannot afford to have any further conflict with him. How should we deal with Wang Han's existence in the future?"
After everyone left, the Five Elders, along with Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Army Marshal Sengoku, gathered in Sengoku's office and began discussing the matter.
Sengoku glanced at the Five Elders, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Sengoku, just say what you have to say." Seeing Sengoku's hesitant expression, one of the Five Elders spoke up.
"Perhaps we don't have to be enemies with Wang Han." Sengoku hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Our initial conflict with Wang Han was because he killed a Celestial Dragon. Before that, we had no conflict with him; we even had a cooperative relationship. Now that the Holy Land has been destroyed, all the World Nobles and Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land have been killed, including the Celestial Dragon King, Lord Im, who died at Wang Han's hands. Very few Celestial Dragons survived because they weren't in the Holy Land. (Note: The Celestial Dragon King Im's abilities are unknown; I didn't know how to describe it, so I simply wrote him dead, skipping the details of the Holy Land's destruction.)"
Sengoku paused here, looking at the Five Elders. The meaning was clear: the Celestial Dragons, who had been weighing heavily on them, were no longer needed. Did they really need to add Wang Han, a terrifyingly powerful enemy, to their list of enemies?
Sengoku knew that the Five Elders had long been dissatisfied with the Celestial Dragons. Nearly 90% of the world's ruling class resented the lawless Celestial Dragons, and countless others throughout the world were equally dissatisfied. Previously, the Celestial Dragons, Im, and many other powerful figures and trump cards held sway over them, but now those were gone; they were no longer bound by the Celestial Dragons' control. Sengoku didn't want the Navy to suffer further unnecessary sacrifices, which is why he hesitated for so long before uttering what was considered a treasonous statement.
Upon hearing this, the Five Elders remained silent for a moment, without reprimanding Sengoku, because it was indeed unnecessary and realistic. They looked at each other, and one of them spoke up, "We really don't need to continue being enemies with Wang Han because of the Celestial Dragons. We can even use Wang Han to deal with the pirates in the New World."
Another of the Five Elders said, "What we need most now is to figure out Wang Han's purpose as soon as possible. Only then can we know if it's even possible."
“Whitebeard seems to know what Wang Han’s purpose is,” Sengoku said. “Whitebeard said before that if the war continues, it will be meaningless to Wang Han’s plan, and may even affect it. In other words, we may also be part of Wang Han’s plan, or even be his… pawns.”
"It seems we need to find a way to contact Whitebeard." Upon hearing this, the Field Marshal looked at Sengoku.
"..." Sengoku period. He just fought Whitebeard today, and now he has to go find him again.

As news of the Marineford War spread, the entire world was in an uproar. Wang Han had undeniably become the world's strongest man, surpassing even the Four Emperors and the Fleet Admiral. His strength commanded respect even from the Navy and the World Government. Furthermore, the news of Wang Han destroying Impel Down, slaughtering the notorious pirates imprisoned there, utterly destroying the Holy Land, and nearly annihilating the Celestial Dragons filled almost everyone who knew of them with jubilation. If Wang Han had formed a pirate crew instead of an adventurer's group, he would likely have been known as the Pirate King. However, despite Wang Han's renewed fame, the number of people wanting to join his forces didn't reach the heights of before, because his infamy was as formidable as his power.
All negative news about Wang Han on the high seas quickly vanished from the world, or rather, no one dared to mention it anymore. After witnessing the battle at Marine Headquarters, no one dared to bring up the evil deeds Wang Han had committed. Because they knew that if Wang Han wanted to kill them, the Navy couldn't protect them. The name Wang Han now weighed heavily on everyone's hearts like a mountain.
Another piece of news was that Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, was actually a user of the Face-Face Fruit, meaning even the invincible Wang Han had to give Shanks face. This left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment, unaware that it was just Wang Han's momentary whim. Upon hearing this, Shanks could only sigh and rub his forehead, while his crew burst into laughter.
The third piece of news is that the Fleet Admiral has retired, and the new Fleet Admiral is Akainu.

A month later, the Navy finally learned of Wang Han's purpose through contact with Whitebeard. Everyone was astonished by Wang Han's lofty goal. If Sengoku hadn't personally contacted Whitebeard, probably no one would have believed that the most infamous man in the world dreamed of world peace.
In response, Sengoku could only complain about why Wang Han didn't join the Navy. If Wang Han's dream was truly world peace and the elimination of all pirates, he would definitely have given up the position of Fleet Admiral.
Despite being shocked by Wang Han's intentions, the Navy and the World Government acted swiftly. After all, Wang Han's goals were more beneficial to them. Although they might not believe it, easing their relationship with Wang Han and getting him to kill more pirates was a good thing. Moreover, without the Celestial Dragons and with a terrifyingly powerful figure like Wang Han threatening them, the World Government did indeed need to make changes.
To everyone's astonishment, the World Government actually brought up the past misdeeds of Wang Han and took the initiative to restore his reputation. They also publicly revealed Wang Han's true intentions and publicized them extensively.
Moria, who offended Wang Han, was stripped of his title as a Shichibukai. Kanpei, Crocodile, and Doflamingo were also stripped of their titles, and no new Shichibukai were appointed. Even more surprisingly, the World Government publicly tried the remaining Celestial Dragons and launched a manhunt for Doflamingo. It seems the World Government began to change after Wang Han destroyed the Holy Land.
Everyone knows that the World Government has yielded and changed under Wang Han's almost invincible strength, and many people are happy to see the World Government change.
The entire seafaring community found Wang Han's dream incredible.

"Kurarara... Wang Han, it seems your dream will soon come true." On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard laughed heartily as he handed Wang Han the newspaper and the intelligence gathered by his men.
"That really...caught us completely off guard!" Wang Han sighed. He seemed to have acted too powerfully during the Marineford War. Now, it was as if powerful aliens had arrived on Earth with a fleet and were using overwhelming force to coerce the planet into developing in a better direction. The world government had no choice.
"What do you plan to do with those pirates?" Whitebeard asked Wang Han with a smile. On the Moby Dick, everyone's attention was focused on Wang Han.
