The Drifting Object

"Any news about them now?"

Zephyr sat on the stool by the bed, casually picked up an apple from the fruit plate that Vice Admiral Tsuru had placed on the bedside table, wiped it on his clothes, and casually popped it into his mouth with a crunch.

Vice Admiral Tsuru him a calm look.

"I haven't eaten yet!" Zephyr emphasized, his cheeks puffed out.

"I just want to say that they went into hiding after what happened last time,"

Vice Admiral Tsuru said, "We haven't been able to find any news about them, probably because we've realized their current dangerous situation."

Is that so?

Zephyr devoured the apple in a few bites, leaving not even the core, and tossed it straight into his mouth. He frowned and said, "That's a bit troublesome."

"Beihai is so big, if they're determined to hide, there's nothing we can do about it."

"This is also something I'm worried about."

Vice Admiral Tsuru said, "We can't let them grow any further. The three Pirate Emperors have caused enough trouble. Adding Red-Haired would be the limit. We absolutely cannot let this group return to the New World!"

"The branch's intelligence capabilities alone are already insufficient,"

Zephyr said, "I will contact Sengoku and have him request intelligence support from the government through the CP."

While the Navy is undoubtedly the Strongest in the World, the Marine Headquarters and CP9, the pinnacle of the CP system, are on equal footing, while CP0, directly under the Celestial Dragon, is theoretically even above them.

The Navy cannot directly instruct the CP to utilize their intelligence systems.

However, it can be indirectly accessed through the government.

Their intelligence capabilities are far superior to those of the navy.

"You should all focus on recovering from your injuries and preparing for the next battle," Zephyr said. "By the way, what about Kashōzan and the others? Haven't they woken up yet?"

"She's awake, but her injuries are severe, and she probably won't recover for a while," Momousagi said.

Is that so?

Zephyr frowned. He had come in such a hurry that he hadn't brought any high-ranking officers with him.

But it shouldn't matter. Even if those three kids can't recover in time to join the battle against Black Wolf, he, along with Tsuru and Gion, should be enough.

After all, the situation in the New World is currently turbulent, and headquarters can't spare too many resources to come here.

"Anyway, let's find that group of people first."

Otherwise, it's too early to say anything.

Let's go back to a little earlier, to the clinic in Joy Town Svalbard Island.

"Fufufufu, Rosinante, it's been years, and this fruit actually ended up in your hands? That kid Rosinante, he really is something else."

Wrapped in a thick coat, Doflamingo grinned strangely, his face pale. "Today is truly a double celebration!"

"To meet you again, whom I thought I would never see again, and to witness abilities I thought I would never see again! All the previous setbacks seem insignificant now!"

The boy wearing a fluffy half-hat was stepped on by Diamante's foot, the hard leather shoe pressing down on his face, distorting his handsome features.

He gritted his teeth and roared, "Doflamingo, you're not allowed to Mr. Corazon's name!!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you little brat's angry!"

Diamante laughed, "Dover, what if he suddenly jumps up and bites me?!"

"Be careful, Diamante,"

Doflamingo chuckled, "That Law kid is a mad dog!"

Soon, the door to the clinic was pushed open.

The excessively tall Pica walked in, carrying two badly injured people who were now completely unconscious.

Luo's expression changed instantly, "Pekoms, Shachi!"

These two people were his partners.

"Dover, that bear got away," Trebol said apologetically as he practically crawled in. "It didn't seem to be an ordinary animal; it was Mink Tribe. It was very fast and jumped into the sea to escape."

Did Bepo run away?

Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief; at least one person had escaped.

"It doesn't matter,"

Doflamingo didn't seem to care. He simply smiled, lowered his head, and looked at Law. "Law, have you made many friends these past few years?"

"If you want them to live, then help me with my treatment. Otherwise—"

With a slight exertion of force, Pica caused a sickening cracking sound as he held the two men in his hands. The two men, still unconscious, were writhing in agony, blood gushing from their mouths and nostrils.

"Make him stop, Doflamingo!"

Luo gritted his teeth, "I'll help you!"

"Fufufufu, isn't that great? The ideal world where no one gets hurt has been achieved."

On the Sirius Pirates' side.

They had been at sea for several days. Since they had plenty of food, there was no rush to go ashore. It was much safer at sea, at least the navy had a hard time tracking their movements.

These past few days, my friends have all felt a serious sense of crisis and have started to diligently cultivate themselves.

Before mastering all Six Powers, learn the remaining six Six Powers. Once you've mastered Six Powers, hone your physical skills and cultivate your Haki.

Sirius is also constantly honing his skills in the Seimei Kikan, and he is now becoming increasingly proficient, with the chanting time getting shorter and shorter.

Then, Yamato's Seimei Kikan training finally yielded results.

"Sirius, look! I can do it too!"

Yamato ran excitedly to Sirius and said with a grin.

"Oh?"

Sirius raised an eyebrow. "Give it a try?"

"Kindness!"

Yamato nodded heavily, and then his body began to change.

Her face gradually became more angular, and her slender figure became more defined.

Soon, another Sirius appeared on the deck.

"Oh! Not bad!"

Sirius looked him up, down, left, and right. If it weren't for the fact that the hair color couldn't be changed and that Yamato had a horn on his head, he would really look exactly like him.

"Of course!"

Yamato gave a smug snort, "Because I'm also very familiar with Sirius!"

"Okay, change back quickly. Seeing a second version of yourself feels a little strange."

Yamato transformed back into Yamato, hands on her hips, and said triumphantly, "See Sirius? I told you I could learn it, and I definitely can, right?"

"That's amazing, Yamato! Could this be the legendary genius?"

Sirius feigned surprise.

His affected manner made Yamato pout. "Sirius is so annoying."

"However, Yamato, the Seimei Kikan is far more than just something that can be used to change your appearance."

Sirius said, "Think about how to apply it in battle. I don't need to teach you that, do I?"

"Of course!"

Yamato was in high spirits.

She is indeed a genius.

Like the Straw Hat Kid, he's slow on other things, but he's exceptionally gifted when it comes to combat-related matters, grasping things instantly.

"Big brother!"

Suddenly, the lookout on the mast shouted, "Something's coming from the sea!"

Kindness?

Could it be the navy?

Isn't that a bit too perceptive?

Sirius leaped up and landed on the mast.

"Big brother, look! There's something white on the sea!"

It's not the navy.

It's not even a boat.

Following the direction Page One pointed, Sirius saw something white drifting closer on the sea.
