The call

"It sounds like things are going quite lively over there?" Haku asked, puzzled.

"Indeed, Luffy has only just arrived in Wano Country, and he's already caused quite a stir here," Ace said.

"Haku nodded. Just remember to keep an eye on him. If he's going to fight Kaido, try not to interfere!" Haku instructed.

"You know about Haku, even with Luffy's strength, it would be very difficult for him to deal with Kaido!" Ace said, his mouth dry.

"But you have to admit, Luffy has the potential and the will to defeat Kaido, doesn't he?" Haku explained.

"But what if something happens? Luffy is my brother!" Ace said anxiously.

Haku shook her head helplessly and said, "Ace, everyone has their own path to walk, Luffy is no exception."

He chose to become Pirates, embarking on a path full of unknowns and challenges, which means he must face powerful enemies and difficult choices. As his older brother, it's natural for you to care about him and worry about him, but excessive protection might cause him to miss opportunities for growth.

"I understand your concerns, but you must believe in Luffy. He possesses extraordinary resilience and courage, and every fall makes him stronger. The battle against Kaido may be a hurdle he must overcome on his path to growth. Even if the outcome is not ideal, this experience will become a valuable asset for him."

Ace was silent for a moment, the anxiety in his eyes gradually turning into determination. "You're right, Haku. I can't always treat him like that child who needs protection. Luffy has grown up; he has his own dreams and pursuits. What I should do is support him, not become an obstacle in his path."

Haku nodded and said, "That's right. That kid said he wants to become the Pirate King. If he can't even get past Kaido, he'd better just stay a little Pirates."

"But with Luffy's current strength, he's far from being able to defeat Kaido, right?" Ace said worriedly.

Haku said nonchalantly, "It's alright. Before he went to Wano Country, I already told him to find a way to get into the Usa. He'll naturally find a way to increase his strength there."

"No wonder, what that kid did today has already got him taken to Usa," Ace said with sudden realization.

Haku pondered for a moment.

He muttered to himself, "They've entered Usa so quickly? The final battle must be about to begin, right?"

Haku has decided to see what changes will occur after Luffy's Devil Fruit Awakening.

It's fair to say that Haku has been a bit short on time lately.

On one hand, the Reverie is about to begin, and the Revolutionary Army is also about to declare war on the World Government.

On the other hand, once Luffy becomes one of the Four Emperors, the power structure at sea will be reshuffled.

Haku wanted to see what attitude Jora Mihawk and Shah Crocodile would take within the soon-to-be-established Cross Guild.

If these two want to join in the fun later, Haku will have to plan ahead.

As for that Clown Emperor Buggy?

Just a puppet! Haku thought to herself.

Haku's eyes gleamed with a profound light, as if she could already foresee the turbulent Future of the maritime world.

"The wheels of time are rolling forward, and the movements of every force are of paramount importance. The actions of the Revolutionary Army will undoubtedly bring tremendous shock to the world, and we, as witnesses and participants, must be prepared at all times."

Ace???

Ace's face showed a look that said, "What are you talking about?"

Haku ended the call, hung up the Den Den Mushi, and put it away.

He straightened up, stretched, and muttered, "I have to meet someone else tonight. This is really annoying!"

Haku had vanished from the room.

Haku's departure went unnoticed even by Baccarat next door.

Meanwhile, Tesoro also welcomed its own guests!

Saint Geruro, his body completely bandaged, led his men and forced their way into a ballroom where Tesoro was!

Tesoro was sitting on the sofa in the corner, surrounded by a group of beautiful women!

Saint Geruro strode menacingly up to Tesoro and said, "Hey! You, I order you, find a way to get me off this ship right now!"

Tesoro raised his eyes slightly, a playful smile playing on his lips. His gaze swept over Saint Geruro, then swept over the menacing guards of the Knights of God behind him and the slaves, as if it were all just an insignificant farce to him.

"Oh? Saint Geruro, what are you playing at? My ship, Tesoro's, doesn't come and go as it pleases. Besides, with that person watching, do you think I have the ability to let you escape under his nose?" Tesoro said sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, Saint Geruro's face darkened further. He glared at Tesoro, his voice filled with undeniable authority. "I am Celestial Dragon of the World Government. How dare you, a mere commoner, treat me like this? Believe me, I can reduce your Golden Ship to ashes with a single word!"

Tesoro chuckled softly, gesturing for the surrounding beauties to step back. He then slowly rose, his gaze fixed on Saint Geruro, a look that held both mockery and undeniable power. "Saint Geruro, you seem to have forgotten that this is the sea, a world of freedom and wildness. Your status doesn't carry much weight here."

"You!" Saint Geruro trembled with rage, but he knew that threats alone wouldn't subdue Tesoro. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and adopted a relatively gentle tone, "Alright, Tesoro, I admit I've stumbled this time. But I urgently need to leave this ship. Name your terms."

Tesoro smiled slightly, walked to the bar, poured himself a glass of red wine, and gently swirled the glass, as if he had everything under control.

"As for conditions, of course there must be some. But before that, I'm more curious about why you think you can escape? Haven't all these injuries made you realize that you can't escape that guy's grasp?"

"I don't care! I'm leaving here!" Saint Geruro said fiercely.

But Tesoro seemed to ignore it completely!

This made the Celestial Dragon secretly resentful, and he planned to wait until he was rescued.

He wanted Tesoro's entire Golden Ship, along with Tesoro, to sink to the bottom of the sea!

The members of the Knights of God standing behind Saint Geruro shook their heads helplessly, their frustration stemming from being assigned to this fool and their inability to do anything about it.
