"Have you finally arrived?"
"Oh, Admirals..."
Away from Amazon Lily, far from Paradise, a submarine appeared near the coast of a small island with the Marine emblem.
Two tall men jumped out of it, one wearing a yellow uniform and the other in a white suit with blue accents.
Well, these Admirals went by their code names - Kizaru and Aokiji.
"Kishishishishi! I've been waiting for you for a long time. Is this how you treat your allies? Making them wait all this time."
Moria seemed somewhat angry, but he didn't dare to show too much anger to the Admirals.
"We are here to carry out the orders of the World Government, not your orders, so it's best for you to step back," Aokiji said coolly.
"I am a Shichibukai, and my request for assistance from the World Government is the reason you're here in the first place."
"I can't rescue someone from the clutches of the Hunters without your help now, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to do it on my own later. But it will cost your government my services. You can withdraw now, and I'll withdraw from your Shichibukai game."
Moria spoke these words to the den den mushi in his hand so that the Five Elders on the opposite side could hear, not the Admirals who had just arrived.
"Aokiji, Kizaru... Just fulfill his requests, let's not make things difficult for our allies..."
The voice echoed from the den den mushi at this moment.
"Well, well..."
Kizaru replied with his usual mocking tone.
"So, what do we need to do?" Aokiji asked at this moment, seeming to have accepted the Gorosei's orders.
"Kishishishishi!" Moria laughed before putting the den den mushi aside.
"You two will hide in my shadow, and then we'll sneak into the central prison... If we're discovered, we'll have to fight for our escape. But if we're not, we'll take the prisoner and sneak out again."
…
Under the sea, 10,000 meters deep, in the Ryugu Kingdom:
"This man called Duval is truly wonderful. He and his team will protect the Sunny-Go! Suuuuuper!"
"True, after Luffy and his friends lost and disappeared, I've been worried about the fate of the Sunny-Go... Can Duval really protect it?"
"Tahahahaha! Loyalty is a trait only real men possess with don!"
Franky, Iceburg, and Tom, were, as usual, engrossed in reading the new volume of One Piece manga.
The first scene in the new volume was still at Sabaody Archipelago, where the scene shifted to the current situation of the Straw Hat Pirates' ship still under the protection of the Flying Fish Riders.
Of course, Franky was concerned about the safety of the Sunny-Go. Like his manga counterpart, the current Franky was deeply attached to that ship. He didn't worry as much about his manga counterpart's fate as he did about the Sunny-Go itself!
"Here, your favorite drinks, guys."
At that moment, a beautiful mermaid with green hair arrived. It was Kokoro, who regained her youth thanks to Suzan, who obtained for her a dose of eternal youth from Rob.
"You, here's your milk."
She handed a glass of milk to Franky.
"But I wanted cola! Why are you giving me milk, old lady!?"
Franky couldn't handle her treating him like a child all the time.
"And for you, iced tea, just like your name suggests."
"Thank you, Kokoro-san."
Iceburg smiled before sipping his drink.
"And this is for you, my dear, your favorite rum."
With a big smile on her face, she left the last bottle of rum on Tom's table before departing.
"Looks like Kokoro is enjoying her new job already... There's no hope of getting her back to the Galley-La Workshop..."
…
"What's the deal with this female Celestial Dragon... Did she go crazy?"
"That seems to be the case, my king..."
"She's definitely insane... the immense hatred she radiates... doesn't seem like she'll be a pleasant woman when she grows up..."
"Hmm... the creators of this world's bloodline, right? I wonder if that's really true."
King Neptune's eyes glinted, but he whispered the last sentence to himself, so his ministers couldn't hear it.
However, Suzan heard it already.
"Heh~ maybe the creators of this era can be accepted, but creators of the world? That's nonsense," Suzan said mockingly.
…
The territory of the Pirate King, En-baz Island:
En-baz Island was considered a paradise in the New World, much better than Big Mom's Whole Cake Island... It is said that all kinds of vegetables and fruits grow on this island... and what's even more surprising is that they grow in a very short period after being harvested!
Roger saw it as a good island and chose to incorporate it into his territory. Of course, after becoming the Pirate King, he decided to get a territory, just like emperors did.
Being the Pirate King made him the ruler of the New World already!
Yohohoho~ Yohohoho
Yohohoho~ Yohohoho
We're delivering Binks' Sake, let's go...
At this moment, the tunes of the pirate song resounded on this wonderful island where Roger's crew was celebrating.
There were various reasons for the celebration, but the most important one was the arrival of the new volume.
After a while, Roger's pirates finished singing and started reading their volumes while enjoying their food and drinks.
Rouge was wearing a white skirt adorned with pink roses, and she tied her long hair in a bun, making the slight freckle under her eye appear even cuter.
"This is Shakky-san again... I wonder what she means by her cryptic words..."
Rouge's eyes reflected Shakky, who was smoking and talking about the incoming tremendous waves.
"Wahahaha! I wonder how big this wave capable of changing an era is..."
"How is this stormy sea causing such a wave... I know one person whose punch could create waves of this size..."
"Are they trying to provoke you to this extent... Newgate... Wahahahaha!"
Roger put his hands on his forehead and laughed.
Just thinking about what was to come and the reason for all this mystery made Roger tremble with excitement.
…
"Here he is, Luffy is finally back to the scene! I wonder where he's flying to...?"
"Boh, hahaha! He deserves it! I'll never forget how this rascal turned me into a small dwarf with just head and hands and sent me flying with that cursed bazooka of his."
Buggy recalled his unpleasant memories from the manga because of Luffy.
After all, the sight of Mini Buggy and his humiliating defeat in that form at that time was extremely painful for the current Buggy.
As a member of Roger's pirate crew, he had gone through quite an ordeal! He had become a real clown because of Luffy.
"Don't be so harsh, Buggy... After all, Luffy didn't mean to harm you that badly... Sigh~"
"It seems like Luffy is on his way to that scary place... full of women..."
Shanks sighed.
"Scary? What do you mean by scary?"
