Austin was indeed the king of the Shichibukai,
but the king had already half-retired.
Besides, Little Mingo had truly become a little too inflated lately. Thinking Austin had his back, he even dared to challenge a Marine Admiral.
With his business expanding rapidly, his swollen ambitions were not matched by corresponding strength. Unless Austin acted as his nanny, he would sooner or later be unable to hold Dressrosa.

One green, one white.
At Dressrosa's port, a merchant ship slowly docked at the shore.
As the workers busily moved cargo, completely unaware, several figures dressed in white instantly disembarked and set foot on Dressrosa.
Sensing the commotion within the city, those mysterious figures who had suddenly appeared—wearing masks and white suits or white robes—
stood atop the rooftops, observing the city below.
Inside a roadside restaurant, Austin, who was eating noodles, twitched the corner of his mouth.
Although he had once directly been served by these CP0 agents, and his subordinates had later dealt with those Cipher Pol agents many times,
