"Politics is a chess game and you aren't much of a player."
Acheron had been inside the Gorosei's quarters already. Not as in he'd visited before, but he was literally already inside. It was obvious he wasn't content with the flow of the meeting, having to see a common ground with such a heathen such as Anubis, so he took it upon himself to do what he wanted, because he was untouchable and always would do what he wanted. For that reason he set up two meetings, a private one for him and the Gorosei, then one for him and Anubis. Of course Anubis would be unaware of this until he was fetched, because Acheron made sure knowledge of this private meeting wasn't shared with anyone but him and the Gorosei. And they had no reason to alert Anubis of this, especially because they knew they'd see him and Acheron together right after Acheron's private meeting.
What he spoke to the Gorosei about was everything him and Anubis spoke on earlier and then some. "It's nice to be here in front of you lot again. I'll be swift and occupy as little of your time as possible." Not all of the Gorosei were present. Only Archon Morio, Shinzō Abe, and Destiny Ridgets was there, but that's all he needed to be honest. "None sense, take your time Acheron." This was Archon Morio speaking to Acheron, who heard exactly what he wanted to. "Thank you kindly." He smiled softly, but deep down it was a malicious smile as he knew he could practically get whatever he wanted. Ridgets and Abe, simple sat there silently waiting for him to get one with it. They were always like this, but he didn't care.
"I've come with plans to push the agenda of restoring order to the seas. I understand it will take time before we are ready to reclaim Marie Jois, but in the meantime, we should look to cut Piracy down at its knees." He paced back and forth like he always did. "How do you suppose we do that Acheron." This was Rdigets heckling voice, he'd rather she didn't talk, but it couldn't be helped. "I recommend we increase the payout on Pirates with bounties greater than 100,000,000 Beli. Think about the possibility of us finally reclaiming the Holy Land only to have some new over zealous rookie come to try and take it back away. Oceanus is more than an immediate threat, but he inspires these little seedlings to commit idiotic acts. We need to make an example out of them. Starting with Bazel D. Wiggins." The naturally silent and reserved Shinzō raised a brow at this and leaned forward a bit. Acheron smirked as he finally got some of the cob webs dusted off his brain.
"The world may not know, but as the most important Celestial Dragon, I'm aware of the treacherous act he and Cyrus Kincaid have committed. At this pace, they'll replace Oceanus even after he's eradicated. These are the people that keep the flame of criminal activity alive and by making an example out of not only them, but these other Super Rookies and miscreants, we can actually make some progress towards killing piracy for good." They all nodded in unison, perhaps a side effect of being around and working with each other for so long. They then turned and faced each other as they always did, shared a few whispers and then turned back to Acheron as if it was choreographed. "We are interested in what you've just shared with us and we'd like to support your vision. We will increase the payout for neutralizing criminals worth more than 100,000,000 Beli, to 75% as opposed to the previous 50%. Is there more you wish to discuss?"
Acheron's body was washed over with a wave of excitement. it was like a strong hit from a drug that his body craved every time his will was made a realization. "There is one more thing, before we bring in Anubis for our joint meeting. Seeing as I've been working in your favor and helping push the World Government's agenda with the power I wield as a Celestial Dragon- The air grew tense in the room, they weren't aware that Acheron was conscious of the fact he was being used in such a manner. Most Celestial Dragons weren't that self aware, because they were too dumb and sheltered to know what being used was like when done skillfully. "-I'd like to claim a payment for my usefulness. This not being a monetary payment, but instead . . . rights to summon a Buster Call at my convenience." He didn't even attempt to hide the power hungry smile that was deep within, it was plastered blatantly on his face and he knew it made the Gorosei feel some type of way. "Why would you require this power Acheron. You already wield s-" Acheron lifted a hand. "Of all the times you speak, it is to question my wishes Shinzō? I do wield power on my own, but this power is more suited towards my goals. I don't wish to share it with any other Celestial Dragons too. I feel that should be said. They lack responsibility and overall I.Q. to wield such a power. I figured it could be a symbol of my place as top Celestial Dragon. So what do you say?" They took longer than normal to huddle up and converse amongst each other. Each of them sorting out their thoughts and emotions of the request, before they dared to share them, but in due time they did.
As expected the huddle took longer than normal and while they were huddled, Acheron walked to the door of the meeting room. Now was the time to show Anubis just how low he was on the food chain of Celestial Dragons. After all, he wasn't even a real World Noble, Acheron had the nerve to request his title be pulled, but he'd save that as a gambling chip for later. Right now he'd just invite Anubis into the Gorosei's sound-proofed chambers and it'd strike a single minute past "exactly noon" as he did so. "Come on in, we've been waiting for you." He'd say this while holding the door open for Anubis, surely the Celestial Dragon would be shocked to see Acheron was already inside and holding a meeting of his own with the Gorosei. He'd have no idea what was said, agreed upon, or anything. Acheron wouldn't wait for Anubis to make his move into the room. The door would only be held for a few seconds, before he calmly walked back to the Gorosei who were putting the finishing touches on their verdict. "Come on Anubis. I want you to hear this. It's the verdict on what me and you talked about!"
