Let Me Save Some Face

The establishment of the New Marines was like a new star shining in the darkness, pointing the way for naval soldiers who were committed to justice and eager to realize their ambitions. However, even the brightest star could not escape the shadows around it.

In some corners of the world, the New Marines is misunderstood as an illegal organization not officially recognized. This misunderstanding stems from the indifference and prejudice of the World Government, as well as from the fear and rejection of the unknown by some.

In this environment, every member of the New Marines faces enormous pressure and challenges.

However, the real challenges do not only come from external misunderstandings and pressures. Internally, the New Marines also faces hostility and confrontation from the Old Marines.

In the eyes of the Old Marines, the establishment of the New Marines was undoubtedly a challenge to their authority and status. They viewed the New Marines as an illegal organization and even considered New Marines members as traitors and enemies.

This hostility and confrontation made the New Marines's pursuit of justice and ideals even more difficult.

With Zephyr stationed at the New Marine Base, the New Marines can launch a full-scale attack against Pirates when they encounter them!

However, things might be different when they encounter the Old Marines!

Perhaps, if the person encountered was Zephyr's student, they could pretend not to see it.

However, when encountering Akainu associates, some unnecessary firefights will inevitably occur!

After the entire New Marine Base was lifted into the air, Haku's Observation Haki did not retract back onto her body!

In his view, with such a big event happening, there would definitely be many Nezumi eager to share the food they had just obtained.

Haku's prediction came true; as the New Marine Base took off, the news spread rapidly.

Haku did not stop the news from spreading.

In any case New Marine Base has already taken to the skies, so even if someone wanted to find it, it would be virtually impossible.

Once he was sure everyone had jumped out, Haku withdrew his Observation Haki.

Haku immediately drafted a list and, while handing it to Kalifa, instructed, "To prevent any of these people from having Vivre Card, you know what to do with them, right?"

A sharp glint flashed in Kalifa's eyes as she said, "The three Seraphim at the base haven't been active for a long time. I'll personally handle these matters with them!"

Haku was pleased with Kalifa's words; he knew Kalifa's abilities and experience were sufficient to handle these minor issues. He nodded and said, "Very good, I trust your capabilities. However, proceed with caution and avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

"I understand, but when are you going to pay me? Don't forget you agreed to my terms!" Kalifa respectfully agreed, then turned to Haku and asked.

Zephyr looked calm, but even if Haku didn't use her Observation Haki to listen, the old man was definitely overjoyed!

Haku quickly changed her tune and said, "Sweetie! The teacher's still here, can you give me a little face?"

Kalifa glared at Haku, then left with the list Haku had prepared!

Zephyr said with a smile, "You little rascal, I just don't know where you found such a clever and capable little girl! When I was helping you keep an eye on the New Marines, I was worried I'd be overwhelmed. This little girl is something else! She can arrange everything perfectly."

"Hey! Teacher, you don't know this, Kalifa was originally sent by the World Government as an undercover agent! But now I've completely turned her to the other side," Haku said with a smile.

Seeing Haku's smug expression, Zephyr said mercilessly, "You've got a really strong rebellious streak. Even before you left the Navy, the World Government had people watching you!"

Haku rolled her eyes and said, "That's because they're afraid of my strength! You have to understand, I was only a few years old when I became Admiral. They were just afraid that my power would be beyond their control!"

Zephyr nodded in agreement with Haku's statement, believing that the World Government's high-ranking officials would indeed do just that. After all, Haku's power was not in the hands of the World Government.

Zephyr seemed to remember something and said to Haku, "You should know about Kyros and Rebecca leaving, right?"

Haku nodded; in fact, the moment he returned to the New Marines, he had already sensed that Kyros and his daughter were not there!

Judging by the timing, he guessed that the father and daughter would return to Dressrosa to await their moment of revenge.

Zephyr talked on and on to Haku, who mentioned Rebecca the most.

Haku knew the other person was worried about the little guy, so he said, "Teacher, don't worry! I've already sent a strong bodyguard to protect Rebecca. Unless Doflamingo uses his Devil Fruit Awakening ability at full power, you don't really need to worry about the little guy's safety!"

While the two were talking, Kalifa had already left the Command Room with the list to carry out the task Haku had given her.

Haku's list is no simple one, especially considering the time he was away.

The New Marine Base has attracted quite a few people from various factions, including the navy and Pirates. A significant number of them have been turned against the navy!

Once all these people have been dealt with, the New Marine Base will be basically worry-free.

Dressrosa!

Kyros and Rebecca have been back in their homeland for a long time!!!

However, as soon as the father and daughter set foot in this country known as the "land of love, passion and toys," their suspicious behavior immediately attracted the attention of the outer members of the Donquixote Family!

Just as they were passing through an alley, several members of the Donquixote Family suddenly rushed out from the shadows and surrounded the two. The leader was a burly man who held a long sword and stared fiercely at Kyros.

"You're outsiders, aren't you? Take off your hoods! I suspect you have close ties to fugitives from years ago!" the burly man said, staring intently at Kyros and his daughter.

Kyros's unnecessary movements revealed that he had been exposed from the other person's tone.

So, he drew his sword and instantly killed several of Donquixote's henchmen!

After Kyros stopped what he was doing, Rebecca asked, "Father, where should we go next?"

Kyros's eyes flickered a few times. While at the New Marines Headquarters, he had mentally rehearsed countless times what he should do after returning to Dressrosa!

He said directly, "Let's contact the Tontatta Kingdom first; they can provide us with some necessary assistance!"

Rebecca nodded and quickly followed in her father's footsteps!
