That's right,
Sade was planning to make a big move and properly show himself to the world first.
After all, those impostors, King Luffy and Blackbeard, had each become one emperor or another,
while Sade himself was only considered a Great Pirate who had "escaped from a Marine Admiral." It was hard for him not to feel a little unbalanced.
And as a man determined to become the World King, he felt that he had already fought Big Mom, though it had not been made public, and also fought the new emperor Blackbeard. It was time to test himself in a high-level match,
such as disrupting a Reverie or causing trouble in Mary Geoise,
or, if possible, taking down a Marine Admiral, though the odds were practically nonexistent.
Austin's mouth twitched.
The last pirate reckless enough to do something like this had been called Rocks.
But your strength probably isn't enough...
If Sade had awakened Nika, mastered Conqueror's Haki Infusion, and possessed the Dark-Dark Fruit before challenging the Mary Geoise dungeon, Austin would have supported him with both hands and feet.
But right now...
The moment he caused too much of a commotion and Imu saw that face with his own eyes, Sade could stay in Mary Geoise forever.
Then all those decades of struggling would have been for nothing.
So, upon receiving intelligence that an ultra-giant Sea King was pulling Noah toward Mary Geoise, Austin had teleported over.
He intercepted it in a sea area not far from Mary Geoise,
and took the opportunity to teach this rebellious son a lesson.
"Do you really think you're ready to go to Mary Geoise already?"
Austin sat atop the table, squinting as he looked at the massive young man before him.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful not to involve King Gick..."
