Morgans' report did not mention the three God's Knights, and Blake was not surprised by this.
Whether the World Government pressured them to block some information, or Morgans himself didn't find out, it was all good news.
The existence of the God's Knights really shouldn't be known by too many people.
If people on the sea knew that the World Government still hid such a powerful force, they might lose some of their courage to resist.
What if the sun god made a grand call, but the guys on the sea didn't dare to resist at all? Wouldn't that be awkward?
Not only the God's Knights, but Morgans also did not disclose any news about Barrels, Doflamingo, Rosinante, Vergo, and others.
After all, he didn't have Blake's almost God-like overall perspective, so it was normal for him not to know about these top-secret intelligence matters within various factions.
Blake put down the newspaper and paid no further attention, eating breakfast served by Hancock and Kalifa.
However, the others at the dining table, after learning what happened yesterday, combined with Blake's disappearance for the past few days and his mood this morning, had roughly deduced that Blake was inextricably linked to the Minion Island incident.
But the two most outspoken little girls had already been thrown into the fishbowls and were now playing with the mermaid sisters, so the others weren't as curious and just kept the matter in their hearts.
In the following days, the newspaper content was always about the aftermath of the Minion Island incident.
For example, Borsalino returned to the New World after completing his mission to continue pursuing the Sun Pirates.
And for example, Charlotte Linlin chased the NEO Marines' warships, only to be severely beaten by Sakazuki and Fujitora working together, retreating dejectedly to Cake Island.
On the other hand, the World Government remained calm, which surprised Blake a little.
Logically speaking, after a few days, they must have realized that the three Shinigami were most likely doomed, but they showed no intention of extensively searching for the culprit.
Perhaps in their subconscious, they didn't believe that people granted immortality by Imu would encounter trouble, and not being able to contact them was only temporary.
But as time passed, Garling gradually sensed that something was wrong.
As the commander of the God's Knights, although he hadn't spent a particularly long time with these God's Knights, only thirty or forty years, he knew the Shinigami's personality and the Yeti's special situation.
After so many days, the three people were neither seen alive nor found dead, which made Garling anxious.
As time passed, the anxiety in his heart grew stronger, accompanied by unease, and he finally decided to personally visit the Room of Authority deep within Pangea Castle.
"Saint Garling?"
Saturn, who was reviewing documents, looked up, gazing at the entering Garling with a puzzled expression:
"Did you come personally for something important?"
"Shinigami, Yeti, and Number 46 still haven't returned."
Garling didn't beat around the bush and asked directly:
"Have their follow-up mission reports been sent here?"
Saturn looked surprised and exchanged glances with the other Gorosei.
"Hehe..."
Peter put down his crossed legs, his light chuckle echoing particularly clearly in the spacious hall.
He sat up slightly, his gaze fixed on Garling:
"How surprising, three God's Knights losing contact simultaneously, this is no small matter."
"But I'm rather curious..."
He paused, gently placing his teacup down before continuing:
"Do the God's Knights under Saint Garling still need to report their itinerary to us 'kings of small nations'?"
Before Garling could understand what he meant, Peter feigned a sudden realization:
"Tsk tsk tsk... Is it really worth it for you to come all this way for such a trivial matter?"
He deliberately sighed heavily, his expression full of regret:
"It seems your role as commander... is perhaps a bit too taxing, isn't it?"
"No wonder you told us last time you wanted to be a Gorosei."
"Looking at it now, Saint Garling had long foreseen today's situation, truly far-sighted."
At these words, the other Gorosei all smiled.
They still remembered when Garling mocked them as kings of small nations last time.
Now that this guy finally caused some trouble and came to them, they naturally had to retaliate fiercely.
After being thoroughly angered by Garling previously, Peter had deliberately pondered a sarcastic way of speaking, and he didn't expect to have an opportunity to use it so soon.
Peter's words instantly ignited Garling's anger, and he took a sudden step forward, almost pressing his face against Peter's:
"I don't have time to listen to your sarcastic remarks!"
"They went missing because they were carrying out your orders; you must find them for me!"
Peter remained unhurried, not changing his demeanor in the slightest due to Garling's tone:
"But Saint Garling, didn't you say last time that our Marines were useless and had few assets?"
"Now why are you even using our useless assets?"
Garling took a deep breath; his long years of cultivating self-control made him less impulsive than in his youth:
"Peter, don't play word games with me here."
"Do I need to remind you? The God's Knights are not my private property; they are Lord Imu's fighting force!"
Hearing 'Lord Imu,' the Gorosei instantly became serious.
Garling had brought up Lord Imu, so it seemed he was truly anxious.
Even to show respect for Lord Imu, they had to take it seriously.
Saturn thought for a moment:
"We don't have specific news about the three Shinigami."
"According to the information provided by Borsalino from the Marines, they were the last to leave the island, so nothing unexpected should have happened."
He took out a newspaper and pointed to the photo on it, saying:
"Look, this is a picture of Minion Island when it sank."
"According to Borsalino, the island was already on the verge of sinking when they left."
"The time difference between the two events is at most half an hour; it's impossible for the Shinigami to have encountered an accident in such a short time."
"Don't worry, perhaps a few of the children have stayed in the Holy Land for too long and are taking this opportunity to stretch their legs."
After hearing Saturn's judgment, Garling subconsciously nodded.
He also felt that with the strength of the Shinigami, there was no reason for an accident to occur in such a short time.
What accident could happen to an immortal?
During the great battle on the island earlier, who among those present wasn't stronger than them?
No accidents happened then, so could someone even stronger pop out after they left?
Garling cursed under his breath:
"These thoughtless fellows!"
He turned and left the Room of Authority.
He hadn't found out anything, and instead, he had been subjected to Peter's sarcasm, which made him even more irritable.
With a bang, the door of the Room of Authority was violently shut.
As Garling left the room, he saw the two guards standing at the entrance.
He drew his long sword and casually swung it.
A flash of sword light, and the two guards fell to the ground without even a scream.
After letting off some steam, Garling snorted coldly and turned to leave.
