"The reverse bounty navy is indeed a path we have never considered. This momentum may not be good, but without a doubt, when they take shape, it will be the best time for us to launch a general offensive!"

The dragon shared his thoughts.

If the Cross Guild can truly develop and combine with the forces of the Revolutionary Army and Las Noches, it is indeed possible to defeat the World Government in one fell swoop.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken about something?"

Cifer casually tossed aside the stack of intelligence in his hand, his face seemingly showing some disdain.

"Um?"

Long was somewhat surprised, as he didn't quite understand what Cifer meant.

"Our enemy is the World Government, not the world. It will do us no good to tolerate the development of clowns like the Cross Guild."

"Besides, I don't think I need their help."

If this trend is encouraged, there will inevitably be imitators in the future.

Moreover, what Cifer lacks when he wants to take action is not timing or power, but intelligence—intelligence about Im and Uranus.

Im is no match for him. It is no exaggeration to say that he alone can hold off most of the World Government's top combat forces.

However, the problem was the information gap. The sense of crisis they felt at the time was not wrong. The destructive power of the Uranus was probably even stronger than that of the Lightning Spear, and its coverage area was wider.

Cifer will not act rashly if it cannot ascertain its existence.

All questions will surely find satisfactory answers in Raftel.

"Is that so... You really are as arrogant as the rumors say. However, it's only a matter of time before war breaks out. Are you sure you still want to commit troops to deal with them?"

The dragon paused for a moment, then offered his advice.

"You overestimate them and underestimate us."

The Cifer doesn't even respect the World Government; this organization formed by two former Shichibukai is nothing but a pile of bones in a tomb.

"So what are you planning to do?"

Instead of sitting on either side, the dragon sat down cross-legged at the head of the table, looking at its "ally".

"Do you have any clues about the last Road Poneglyph? Or what do you know about Im and Uranus?"

After thinking for a moment, Cifer still asked the question that had been bothering him.

He now has the contents of three Road Poneglyph, but Robin said that without the last piece, it would be impossible to piece them together and find the location of Raftel.

"So you've found three pieces so far... The last one is said to be in Giant Country Elbaf, but whether that's true or not, nobody knows."

"Furthermore, with the passing of the former king, the veracity of this news is impossible to verify."

Long stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know when we get there. I'm planning to go there anyway."

Cifer had already promised Robin that he would find time to accompany her there, and since they shared the same goal, the trip could be moved up.

"As for Im and Uranus, to be honest, if Sabo hadn't stumbled upon their crime, I wouldn't have known Im existed at all."

"If you hadn't driven them to the brink, I might never have known about the existence of Uranus Uranus."

Mentioning these two things, Long's head inexplicably broke out in a cold sweat.

A person who is suspected to have lived for more than 800 years... no, perhaps he can no longer be considered human, and one of the Three Ancient Weapons.

But all these years, I haven't been able to find even the slightest clue.

Dragons couldn't imagine what kind of methods Im, the one they were fighting, would possess if he were truly immortal.

But thinking of this, the dragon's gaze couldn't help but turn to the person in front of him. The fact that he could force Im to the point of threatening the entire Holy Land meant that his strength was unfathomable.

The dignified leader of the Revolutionary Army inexplicably felt as if all his years of preparation had been for nothing.

"No, then what has your Revolutionary Army been doing all these years?"

Seeing that the Revolutionary Army leader knew nothing, Cifer felt like he had a useless teammate and helplessly covered his forehead.

"Uh... Of course the Revolutionary Army went to carry out their revolution. How could they charge into the enemy's headquarters right from the start? If it weren't for you, our operation might still be a long way off."

The dragon showed no embarrassment and responded calmly.

"Get lost, get lost~ I'll contact you when I need you."

Cifer had nothing more to say to this Khan, so he asked him to leave.

"Long time no see, Dragon."

Just then, Kuma walked in carrying Bonney, followed closely by Vegapunk, who was overjoyed after getting Uta's autograph.

"You all seem to be having a good time."

Looking at the current situation of his two old friends, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"By the way, two familiar faces have arrived outside."

As they were exchanging pleasantries, Enel up to Cifer and spoke up to remind him.

"That guy must have noticed something."

As expected, Cifer...

The warship that was anchored in Rocky Port had long been within his range of Neural Scan.

And the port at this time.

"Let's go, Hibari. Wasn't this the place you wanted to come?"

Hina, with cherry-colored hair and a lollipop in her mouth, calmly disembarked from the boat and then looked back at the ship.

Even the little white-haired girl bouncing around behind her was not afraid at all, wandering around without treating this place as some kind of den of dragons and tigers.

On the contrary, the lark, who had been clamoring to come here to see the Black Winged Great Demon Hibari, was a little nervous and was still stunned on the warship.

"It's alright... After I turn them all back to normal, Koby- senpai will definitely look at me in a new light..."

Hibari seemed to be mentally prepared, and then leaped down, landing next to Hina.

"Hey, hey~ I'd like to say that your Chief is too arrogant, isn't he? Does he even know where he is? This is the territory of the World's Strongest Man, Senior Cifer!"

Bartholomew had already arrived after being tipped off by his younger brother. He crossed his fingers in front of him, and a huge barrier was formed, as if to push them into the sea.

"Wait a minute! We're here to see that man! We have something important to tell you!"

Hibari quickly waved her hand, fearing that a fight here would ruin everything.

"Stop talking nonsense..."

"Let them come up."

Just as Barto was about to make his move, he suddenly heard Enel's command in his ear.

"Yes, Enel- senpai!"

Even though he wasn't by her side, Barto still saluted earnestly in the direction of Las Noches, then waved arrogantly and led the three of them upwards.

A moment later, they arrived at the Las Noches, where all the officers were gathered, along with the leader of the Revolutionary Army and the world's number one scientist.

The Hibari was so frightened by the sight that she was almost speechless.

"So, why did the Navy come to see me?"

Cifer sat high on his seat, looking down at the three men.

"It's this. Fleet Admiral Sakazuki said you'd understand once you saw this."

Hibari pulled a letter from his pocket and was about to step forward when the white-haired loli beside him snatched it away, jumped up, and placed it in Cifer's hand.

She wore a sweet smile, as if she had known the World's Strongest person for a long time.

Upon seeing this scene, Hibari felt a little flustered for some reason.

"That bastard, what does he think this place is..."

After reading the letter, Cifer lit a flame in his hand and burned it to ashes.

"Um... I wonder if it would be possible for your Pirate Empress to restore my companions to their original state..."

Hibari swallowed hard and stated the purpose of his trip.

"Of course you can, but you have to stay."
