Recently, rumors have been spreading about the first half of the Grand Line:

A huge "spaceship" wrapped in lightning suddenly appeared in the air above the sea without any warning, and wherever it passed, it would always leave a long white cloud track, as if there was also an ocean ten thousand meters above, with ships from outer space shuttling through it.

When hearing such rumors at first, almost everyone was deeply suspicious. After all, how could there be a ship floating in the air? Who dreamed this up?

However, as more and more eyewitnesses came forward to testify, and a reporter from the World News Service provided very clear photos, public opinion on the Grand Line, especially the first half, suddenly caused quite a stir.

"Is the legend of the Sky Island true? Are there people living in the sky?!"

Some people were extremely surprised.

"No way, no way? Could it be that the man who broke into the Navy Headquarters alone is finally going to reappear?"

"You mean... the legendary pirate who is as famous as Whitebeard - Shiki the Golden Lion?!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! Nowadays, the great pirates of the New World have been dominating one after another, and recently that Yakumo Shiro has caused one big incident after another! But the Navy can do nothing about it and can only let him get away with it!

If even the Golden Lion can't stand the loneliness and chooses to leave, then the Navy will be in a difficult situation!"

Some people gloated.

"Hey! Does anyone know where that ship went? Is there any treasure?"

Some people are greedy by nature.

“However, with something so bizarre like this appearing, the navy and the government should be able to act faster, right?

Maybe they have been following the ship all the way. After all, those guys’ natures are well known to everyone~"

Some people disdain to ridicule.

The hearts of people on the sea are complicated, just like the sand on the beach, some are rough, some are smooth, but it is undeniable that the restless tide has come from afar, raising new sand and dust. The bewildered passers-by can hardly imagine how the new storm will sweep in with unpredictable momentum...

--------

"How many days have passed since Yakumo Shiro appeared on Gaya Island? How is it possible that there is no trace of them at all?! Could they just disappear without any reason?!

Answer me! Warring States General! "

Inside the Navy Headquarters, Sakaski, who was wrapped in layers of white bandages, had a gloomy face. He stared at Sengoku, who also had a grim expression on his face, and his anger was not concealed at all.

"Calm down! Sakaski! The navy has been staying on Gaya Island for observation since they discovered Yakumo Shiro. But the fact is that shortly after they left the island, they encountered a huge current that rushed up into the sky!

Now we don’t even know whether we are alive or dead! How can we talk about our whereabouts?”

Zhan Guo said this in a deep voice, his eyes were very complicated, with both expectation for Yakumo Shira to be buried at the bottom of the sea and uneasiness about the unknown current situation, but then, these two emotions were replaced by another feeling of "anger at their lack of fighting" -

"Sakaski, I know you hate pirates, and you hate even more the atrocities committed by Shiro Yakumo who instigated civilians to blindly go out to sea! However, if you are blinded by the humiliation and anger of defeat, it is not the behavior of a true navy!"

Zhan Guo looked directly at Sakaski, and the determination in his words was unshakable.

"Failure is already a fact. Your anger will not change it in the slightest, nor will it generate strength out of thin air! Anger without the determination to start over is nothing but incompetence!"

"you......!"

The word "incompetent" seemed to touch Sakaski's sensitive nerves, causing the temperature around him to rise rapidly in an instant.

With absolute justice in his heart, he hunted pirates together with the admirals of the navy but ended up returning empty-handed. In the end, he could only watch Yakumo Shira continue to act recklessly while he could only stay in the medical department and patiently heal his wounds. This made the justice that Sakaski had always upheld almost unbearable!

Incompetent? Yes! That's right, I have secretly scolded myself countless times these days!

But this also further inspired Sakaski's determination to avenge his previous shame! If he can't finally arrest Yakumo Bai in this lifetime, then it doesn't matter if he doesn't wear this military uniform!

Trying hard to suppress the anger that was growing in his heart, Sakaski took a last deep look at Zhan Guo, but he ignored the other party's scolding and turned away directly -

“Whether Yakumo Bai is alive or dead, I will find him! Such a heinous person, even if his body is dead, must be executed in front of the whole world!

Otherwise, the evils of imitating this bastard will only increase! I will never allow such things!"

With a bang, the door was slammed shut by Sakaski. At the same time, the other party's last words were vaguely heard.

"I will practice justice in my own way! Sengoku!"

"..."

Looking at the room that was gradually falling into silence, Zhan Guo was speechless for a long time, until the Den Den Mushi beside him rang at some point, awakening him from his deep thoughts.

"Mo~Xi, Mo~Xi~ General Zhan Guo, I have arrived at the East China Sea~

By the way, is it really okay for me to deal with the Golden Lion that might be reborn by myself?

He is a legendary pirate as famous as Whitebeard!

I heard that guy can even knock down an island with ease! Tsk tsk tsk! How terrifying! "

A very casual voice came from the other side, but Zhan Guo was obviously familiar with the other side's sarcastic tone. Zhan Guo tried to calm down his agitated emotions and patiently said,

"Don't be careless, Borsalino. Even though the Golden Lion has lost two legs and half of the rudder is stuck on his head, his swordsmanship and fruit ability should not be underestimated!

After escaping from Impel Down all these years, given that guy's ambition, he must have been secretly planning something amazing. He has been lying dormant for so long before making a sound. It seems that he thinks the time is gradually ripe.

Pay close attention to intelligence and movements in various parts of the East China Sea. Although it has always been the most peaceful sea area, if that guy is there, it will definitely cause unrest!"

“Hey, hey, hey~ I get it, General Sengoku.

Don't worry, I cherish my life very much. After all, I have learned from Teacher Zefa about the strength of the strong men of the old times. I am now fully prepared for the battle!"

Borsalino, who was basking in the sun leisurely across from Den Den Mushi, said without blinking.

"By the way, General Sengoku, did Marshal Kong really not consider sending some reinforcements? After all, it was you and Mr. Garp who took down the Golden Lion together."

"..."

Borsalino was responded by silence. After all, he said he was ready for battle but asked for reinforcements. It was impossible to believe in the sincerity in his words.

"...Garp will be returning to the East China Sea for vacation soon. If necessary, I will ask him to rush to your aid..."

"Gaga——"

Den Den Mushi suddenly fell silent, but Borsalino, who was still listening attentively to Sengoku's response, was not embarrassed at all, but could not help but reveal an obscene and relaxed smile.

"Steady, steady~ With Mr. Karp here, it seems that this business trip won't require much effort... On the contrary, I can take advantage of the opportunity to gain some experience~

Tsk tsk tsk, maybe I will be promoted to general before Sakaski and Kuzan!

Eh~ I’m really troubled~~~"
