The Neptune Army Mobilizes!

The New World.

The sea area where the Flying Pirates are based.

At this moment, dozens of pirate ships of various types, all bearing the same skull and crossbones flag, floated in all directions around the giant floating Sky Island in the sky.

At this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, but there was no wind or rain; the oppressive atmosphere was suffocating.

Inside the luxurious floating palace, the officials behind hundreds of tea tables were completely silent, even their breathing was careful, for fear of attracting the attention of their boss.

"He's dead, Zangjing?"

Shiki sat on the high platform, his Lion King- like, menacing eyes fixed on Helandou and the Gentleman standing on the red carpet.

An hour ago, he received news that the Zangjing Governor had died at the hands of Rear Admiral "Ryokugyu".

But he didn't believe it!

The two had just returned to the stage; the former looked anxious, while the latter remained calm.

"Probably not. I just found Mr. Zangjing's Vivre Card. Although most of it was burned away, it's only most of it, which means his life is temporarily out of danger."

The Gentleman shook his neat blue robe, took out a piece of white paper from his pocket that looked half-burnt, and examined it with a frown.

"What I find strange is why this Vivre Card isn't responding at all."

Logically, the Vivre Card should be slowly moving towards its owner's location, but it's just sitting quietly in my hand right now.

"Oh?"

'Golden Lion'

Upon hearing that the person was not dead, Shiki immediately restrained his imposing manner, which not only relieved the officials in the main hall, but also caused the dark clouds on the floating Sky Island to gradually dissipate.

It truly captures the essence of "a fury that shakes heaven and earth" perfectly!

Meanwhile, the Helandou, which had already donned their new green coats, were filled with questions.

What? The Zangjing Master isn't dead?

But I saw him die a mangled death with my own eyes, what happened?

Then he started to worry: what if the Zangjing were to return later? Would they come after him for what they said?

After all, he had even rescued himself, so if the Zangjing was truly alive, it might also be rescued, which left him with a worried expression.

"Since the person isn't dead, let's go ask them!"

Shiki stood up laughing, his magnificent ancient-style gold robe swaying with his thick golden hair.

"Helandou, you don't need to play this time. Stay here and rest!"

"Gentleman, come with me to meet Garp and his gang!"

"Okay." The Gentleman did not refuse and calmly nodded in agreement.

Although he had just returned from G-3, he was more interested in knowing what was going on with the Zangjing; he was very curious.

"Hehehe! We're off!!"

The renowned 'Golden Lion' opened his arms and burst into wild laughter.

"Roar!--"

Below the stage, hundreds of imposing cadres responded loudly, their fervent fighting spirit pushing the atmosphere to its peak.

At the same time, the huge floating Sky Island beneath their feet and the surrounding fleet of ships moved, like a pod of flying orcas, baring their cruel 'fangs' as they headed towards the G-3 Branch.

Suddenly, the winds of change are blowing, and the New World is about to witness another major collision!

But all of this has nothing to do with Vidal is thousands of meters below the seabed.

At this moment, he was riding his self-built warship, holding the little manatee's hand, heading towards the dazzling light source at the top.

Yes, he didn't go to Fish-Man Island immediately.

Fish-Man Island held many treasures for Vidal.

The underwater forest called "Sea Forest," the "Noah" housed in Fish-Man District, and the Poneglyph containing Joy Boy's apology are all worth seeing.

But none of these are as important as the root system of 'Sunlight Tree Eve'!

For some reason, the moment Vidal saw that ball of light, his heart began to race involuntarily.

The warship's speed was actually quite good; it had been equipped with paddle wheels and turbines. However, the light orb that didn't seem very far away was actually quite high off the ground, and it was likely heading towards the bottom of the Red Line.

As they drew closer, Vidal noticed a very strange phenomenon.

Logically speaking, something so dazzling, capable of providing light and heat to the entire Fish-Man Island and the surrounding waters, should have a very high temperature at its core.

However, he did not see any signs of seawater evaporation or an increase in ambient temperature.

The light emanating from the top did indeed become increasingly dazzling, making it difficult to open one's eyes, but the temperature remained pleasantly warm, without any discomfort.

"Amazing, truly amazing! How can we not touch such a magical tree?" Vidal, with the little manatee, hid inside the cabin and looked at the deck, which was already bathed in intense white light, and laughed.

"It's a shame I didn't bring my sunglasses, oh well."

However, the 'Ryugu Palace' located at the top of Fish-Man Island in the distance was thrown into panic and tension by his approach to the light source, since no one expected that someone would try to approach their 'sun'.

Inside the 'Ryugu Palace', the 'Connecting Corridor' projects a clear image onto 'King Neptune of Fish-Man Island' and his ministers through Surveillance Den Den Mushi.

"What is that Marine warship up to!" Neptune, only forty years old, changed his expression drastically and hurriedly stood up from his throne.

His thick, fluffy orange-red hair and beard trembled slightly.

"Whatever they're going to do, we must stop them!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Quickly send the Neptune Army to intercept them!"

Inside the main hall, several ministers were discussing amongst themselves, each raising their voices and shouting.

"In that case, I'll go!" At this moment, the Right Minister of the Seahorse Mermaid stepped forward, holding the hilt of his sword.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, the Left Minister, who was standing opposite the Right Minister, wearing a formal hat, a monocle over his left eye, and resembling a catfish, shouted to stop him.

"The other side is Marine warship; we cannot act rashly against it, otherwise the consequences could be dire!"

"Then what do you suggest we do? Let them get close to the 'sun'?" the Right Minister asked in a deep voice.

The Left Minister was speechless for a moment.

"I'll personally lead the team to stop them and ask them what they want!"

Neptune made a decision immediately; as the king who held a seat at the Reverie, this matter had to be handled by him.

"Come with me!"

"Yes!"

The Right Minister responded loudly, saying he didn't care about the navy or anything like that; he would not hesitate to take action against anyone who threatened the safety of Fish-Man Island.

"Huh?"

On the other side, Vidal, who had just made sunglasses for himself and the little manatee using the magical plants of the Boin Archipelago, immediately noticed that from the 'Ryugu Palace,' which was almost as tall as the warships at that moment, more than a dozen 'warships' with cabins built on the backs of fish and sea monsters and covered with a layer of bubbles, were 'flying' out.

The largest and most luxurious of them all seems to be the 'Phoenix-Tail Carriage' reserved for royalty.

"Oh no, trouble's here, what do we do now?"

Vidal frowned and sighed, while pondering how to negotiate with the other party. He had a feeling that these Fish-Man wouldn't let him get close to 'Sunlight Tree Eve' easily.

"No matter what, I must touch the roots of this sun tree!"
