Cross Guild

"That's... the world-renowned diva Uta!"

On the way to the center of the island, residents kept recognizing her and shouting wildly on both sides of the road, regardless of age or gender.

"Everyone, please take care of me from now on!"

Uta waved to her fans all the way.

"Don't get too close! Don't block Senior Uta's path to Las Noches!"

At this moment, Barto had already wiped away his tears and was leading his men to the front to clear a path for everyone.

"Senior... Could it be that Miss Uta has also joined Las Noches! As expected of Mr. Cifer!"

When some residents heard Barto address her, they immediately realized why she had come here and shouted excitedly.

With one call, a hundred responses followed; the voices that were originally shouting "Uta" gradually turned into shouts of "Cifer".

"This used to be a 'pirate island,' known as Paradise for pirates. It was only after Captain Cifer conquered it that the residents were able to live like normal people."

Seeing the confusion on Uta's face, Nolan stepped forward, put his arm around her, and explained.

"Hey, our captain's pretty capable!"

In the past few days, she has also learned from Chopper and the others what kind of person Cifer really is.

But what you hear is never as obvious as what you see in reality.

In her view, the merchant ships she had encountered in the past few days and the current reactions of the residents were more valuable than a thousand or ten thousand words of praise for the Cifer.

As they walked, Uta saw the Las Noches suspended in the sky.

"Unbelievable... the palace floating in the sky is actually real!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Uta created a musical note larger than a person beneath his feet and rode it away.

When she stepped into Las Noches and looked back, the scene that seemed to encompass the entire world was a sight she had never seen before.

"Oh my gosh~ Another stunningly beautiful girl has arrived here, capable of captivating anyone's heart!"

Kuzan, who had just woken up, yawned as he walked out after sensing someone coming up. When he saw Uta, he couldn't help but tease him.

"Alright, your weird old man look will scare Uta. She's our new companion."

Robin put his hand on Uta's shoulder and pushed her inside.

"Really... then who is this brat?"

Kuzan scratched his head and looked at Lilith was looking around like a country bumpkin.

"Huh? What do you mean 'kid'? I'm Vegapunk! Hehehe~"

Lilith stuck out her tongue and made a face in dissatisfaction.

"Is it Vegapunk again...? Egghead should be here, why are there several of them?"

Just as Lilith was still trying to understand what Kuzan meant, from a corner, Vegapunk, along with several clones, walked towards them.

"Your true form? Shouldn't you be in Egghead?"

Lilith was completely bewildered.

"Uta ~ I'm your loyal fan!"

Vegapunk acted as if he hadn't heard her, and ran over holding up a light stick that appeared out of nowhere.

"I wonder which shameless person said going to concerts was a waste of time..."

Bonney covered her mouth and teased.

"How can Uta's concert be the same as everyone else's? She's not called the world's number one diva for nothing!"

Vegapunk seemed ashamed of his lie being exposed, and smoke seemed to rise from the apple head.

By this time, Cifer had already entered the main hall, where Enel had been waiting for quite some time.

"What happened while I was away?"

Although we didn't encounter News Coo along the way, we still managed to gather some information through various rumors and speculations.

"I only dealt with a few petty thieves from the so- Knights of God, and then there's... this."

Enel, with an almost suppressed smile on his face, took out the latest newspaper.

The article published details the recent activities of Las Noches, and the Bounty for all members have increased again.

Apart from Chopper rising to 1000 Belly, the Bounty of the other members have generally increased by 200 million Berries, although there are exceptions.

"Black Winged Great Demon": Ulquiorra Cifer

Lord of Las Noches, the most vicious criminal in history, the absolute king who controls a large part of the New World, with Bounty 6.048 billion Belly!

Thor: Enel

The King's second-in-command, the captain and Captain-Commander of the First Division of Las Noches, Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, whose strength is even slightly greater than the highest combat power of the Marineford, with Bounty 4.333 billion Belly!

"Sky Woman": Nolan

Second Division Captain of Las Noches, Devil Fruit User, possesses strength comparable to the highest combat power of the World Government, with Bounty 3.669 billion Belly!

"The Dark Walker": Rob Lucci

Captain of the 6th Division of Las Noches, a user of the Cat-Cat Fruit in Leopard form, who once defeated the great pirate Charlotte Katakuri and former Shichibukai Charlotte Will, has a bounty of 1.918 billion Berries!

"The Child of the Devil": Nico Robin

A person suspected of possessing both the Flower-Flower Fruit and the Slow-Slow Fruit abilities, seeking out the forbidden one, with Bounty 1.33 billion Belly!

"The Brain": Vegapunk

A scientist who betrayed the World Government and chose to walk with the devil, possessing technological abilities beyond his time, Bounty 3 billion Belly!

The above-mentioned individuals are those whose Bounty have skyrocketed.

Since being taken away by Nolan, Vegapunk has been equated with Las Noches by the World Government and placed on a bounty list, with an amount comparable to that of Yonko.

Is that all?

Cifer quickly devoured the contents of the newspaper, which were nothing more than words that described Las Noches as extremely vicious and unforgivable.

"The leader of the Revolutionary Army wants to see you."

Enel stroked his chin, trying to recall, and remembered that the guy with the slipper mark on his face seemed to have come several times in the past few days.

"I apologize for visiting without prior notice, but I simply don't have much time."

As they spoke, a gentle breeze blew by, and a figure draped in a green cloak slowly took shape.

"The wind... what are you trying to say?"

Cifer didn't seem to care, but simply turned to look at him.

The two men, known as the world's most notorious criminals, met for the first time.

"Due to your campaign against Kaido and the loss of high-ranking combat power in the World Government, the balance of power in the New World has become unbalanced."

"There are quite a few unscrupulous people who want to take advantage of this opportunity to get a share of the profits; they are the instigators!"

Dragon produced a piece of intelligence, the latest information obtained by the Revolutionary Army.

Cifer reached out and took it. The contents, though unimportant, still surprised him somewhat: the extremely evil organization "Cross Guild" had been established.

Founded by Crocodile and Gintoki, two former Shichibukai, the reputation of these two alone is enough to attract a large number of followers.
