G-1 Branch
New World · G-1 Branch Harbor
"Whoosh--!"
As space violently trembled, a wrecked and battered Marine warship suddenly appeared above the Harbor, crashing heavily into the sea as if Sky Splitter!
Boom!!
The waves, tens of meters high, crashed against the harbor shore, instantly putting the patrolling marines on alert!
"Enemy attack?! Gun emplacements in position!"
"Aim quickly! That ship—"
"Wait a minute!" a soldier suddenly shouted, "That's the naval ensign!"
Amidst the crashing waves, the torn canvas Hunting Roar the wind, and the tattered yet still fluttering word "Justice" on the bow made everyone hold their breath.
But when they saw the naval flag flying on the Warship and Vice Admiral Gion covered in blood on the deck, everyone's expression changed drastically!
"That's Gion 'Vice Admiral Warship!!"
"Oh my god... how did the Warship get like this?!"
On the deck, Gion, covered in blood, struggled to help a young officer, his clothes torn and kneeling on one knee, to his feet.
"It's Rear Admiral Roy!!"
"Quickly!! Medical team, assemble immediately!! All personnel, prepare to support boarding the ship!!"
On the wrecked deck of the Warship, Gion helped Roy, who was kneeling on one knee and breathing slightly, her eyes filled with worry.
"Are you alright, Roy?"
Roy's forehead was beaded with sweat, and his face was pale, but he still managed a hint of composure. "I'm fine, it's just... after fighting Kaido and then forcibly Teleportation this far with the Warship, I'm a little exhausted."
He was about to continue speaking when suddenly—
"Gion! Roy!!"
A dignified voice rang out. Vice Admiral G-1 Branch, the Momonga commander, and his adjutant rushed over. With a leap, they landed steadily on the wrecked ship.
When he saw the horrific scene before them, his pupils suddenly contracted!
"What happened?! What happened to you?!"
"Don't ask yet!"
Roy abruptly raised his hand to stop the Momonga's questioning, his voice hoarse yet carrying an undeniable calm. "Almost all the soldiers on the ship are seriously injured... Quickly, arrange for medical treatment."
The Momonga instantly realized the situation was extraordinary and roared without hesitation, "All personnel, listen to my command! Prioritize treating the wounded! Medical team, get to position immediately!!"
The Harbor was instantly in an uproar! A large number of medics rushed onto the dock with stretchers, medicine boxes, and first aid kits.
Roy took a deep breath, planted his feet firmly on the ground, and placed his hands on the broken deck.
Buzz--!
The air vibrated, and in the next second, all the wounded, unconscious, and vital supplies on the Warship "vanished" from the deck!
At the same time--
Inside the medical tents in the Harbor's security zone, wounded soldiers appeared instantly on the ground and were safely transferred and cared for!
"It happened?! It's... Teleportation?!"
"Absolutely accurate! The position is perfectly precise!!"
The Momonga and the others witnessed the miraculous operation firsthand and were momentarily speechless.
The adjutant stared blankly at Roy's still-bleeding hand, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Rear Admiral Roy... he can actually do something like this?!"
Gion stood to the side, watching Roy's retreating figure kneeling on the deck of the wrecked ship, a complex mix of emotions washing over her.
This was no longer the joking, sneaky kid she knew.
The little brat from back then has grown into Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral, a man capable of confronting powerful monster Pirates head-on and rescuing everyone from Vice Admiral situations.
G-1 Branch Office
After a brief bandage, Roy and Gion were taken to the Branch Office.
The Momonga sat behind the desk, his face serious, his hands clasped in front of his forehead, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two men.
"Now, can you tell me what happened?"
Gion glanced at Roy, who nodded slightly. Gion then took a deep breath and gave a brief report on the mission: the Shichibukai's theft of a country, Kaido's intervention, battle on the isolated island, King's attack on the ship, preventing Doflamingo's kidnapping, and Roy's direct confrontation with Kaido...
"What?!"
The Momonga suddenly stood up, causing the chair to creak and overturn.
"You and Kaido?!"
When he heard that Roy had fought Kaido head-on and was undefeated, Momonga clenched his fist tightly!
He stared intently at Roy, his eyes filled with horror, before erupting in rage.
"Bang--!"
The flying Momonga slammed its fist on the table, instantly cracking a fissure in the solid wood surface!
"Nonsense!!"
He roared, his eyes filled with shock and barely concealed worry, "Do you know what you're doing?! What kind of monster is Kaido?! Even if you're going to fight, you should wait for reinforcements from Marine Headquarters!!"
"If you die at sea, the Navy will lose a future Sweet Commander!!"
"But if we don't stop it, the situation will become even more chaotic."
Roy calmly replied, "You know how important Doflamingo is."
The Momonga opened its mouth, but ultimately remained silent, letting out a long sigh, "This is truly... utterly reckless, leaving one speechless."
He looked at Roy, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions: admiration, shock, and deep unease.
"Thank goodness, you're all back..."
He rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice, "You all rest first, I'll report to Marine Headquarters immediately!"
Marineford 'Fleet Admiral's Office
"Snap--!"
With a crisp sound, the Senbei in Sengoku's hand was crushed.
The projected image of the Den Den Mushi) revealed a somber voice from the Momonga: "Report! G-1 Branch, urgent report!"
"Gion Vice Admiral Kaido Rear Admiral Roy encountered an attack from Kaido and Kaido Pirates, and successfully prevented them from kidnapping Doflamingo!"
Sengoku's pupils suddenly contracted. "Kaido personally took action?!"
"Yes!" Momonga's voice was solemn. "Rear Admiral Roy is engaged in direct combat with Kaido and has not been at a disadvantage!"
Sengoku frowned, slowly put down the document in his hand, and his eyes were sharp as knives.
"Roy... he's really grown to this level!"
"Hahaha!!"
Garp was casually enjoying tea in the office, burst into laughter, "That brat actually dared to fight Kaido?! No wonder he's my student!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru's expression remained calm as he slowly spoke, "Sengoku... Doflamingo is of Celestial Dragons blood. Have you thought this through?"
Sengoku said solemnly, "I know, but the evidence against him for manipulating the king and slaughtering civilians is irrefutable!"
"This matter needs to be decided by the Five Elders. They won't let the Celestial Dragons' bloodline die at the hands of the Navy; at most, they'll send them to Impel Down," Tsuru said calmly.
Sengoku was silent for a moment, then nodded emphatically. "I understand, I'll contact the Five Elders later."
The crane slowly walked to the window, gazing at the distant sea with a deep look in its eyes.
"The pattern of the new world is about to change."
Meanwhile, in the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
The atmosphere in the spacious room was somber as intelligence reports and images from the Sengoku were presented one by one.
The Five Elders had a different expression.
"Ha, Doflamingo..."
Saint Nusjuro sneered, "A piece of trash who almost trampled the reputation of the Celestial Dragons into the mud."
"Just a traitor," Saint Warcury said disdainfully. "We can't let him live and make a fool of himself."
"But he is, after all, of Celestial Dragons blood, and he also knows something about..."
"Send him to Impel Down and never let him out!" Saint Mars said coldly.
I second that.
Then, the five of them began to look through the files about "Roy".
"The ability to Teleportation has been developed to the point where it can traverse extremely long distances and allows for the free deployment of troops on the Battlefield..."
"To be able to go toe-to-toe with Kaido without being defeated is not something that can be achieved solely through the power of a Devil Fruit."
This person is too dangerous.
"But he's a Marine, and his record shows that he upheld Marine Justice in his dealings with Pirates, without ever overstepping his bounds."
"Like Garp, he's a disobedient monster."
Saint Mars said calmly, "But that's precisely why we shouldn't provoke him unnecessarily."
"Promoting his rank, granting him freedom of action, and keeping him in the navy is the safest option."
I second that.
The candlelight flickered gently, and the conference room fell silent once more.
But beyond the surface of the sea, the waves were already quietly churning.
The landscape of the New World is changing.
