"What the hell does that mean?!!!"
Hearing those unusual words, Old Gick seemed to realize something. He lowered his voice and covered the Den Den Mushi as he asked.
"It means exactly what it says. The world is about to descend into chaos, so just stay home and rest easy."
Through his own channels, Austin had learned that one of the topics to be discussed at the Reverie was the abolition of the Shichibukai system.
Austin did not care about something whose symbolic value outweighed its practical value. Even Little Hawk and the others did not care themselves.
Of the old Shichibukai, only a few remained anyway. There was little point in keeping the system alive.
Since the World Government was so angry over Sade's matter, they could let them vent a little. It was all trivial in the end.
"Fine... I understand."
Old Gick was not someone who failed to grasp priorities. If even Austin, given his current status, said the seas were about to become chaotic—
then this old man probably could not get involved.
"Of course..."
But at that moment, Austin abruptly changed his tone, a calm smile appearing on his face.
"If you insist on joining the fun, make sure to bring the Black Box I gave you. It'll come in handy when it matters."
Old Gick paused for a moment at those words, then a knowing smile appeared on his face.
"Honestly... I got it, you brat."
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Austin rode Seagull King toward another stretch of sea in the New World.
Things were rather lively over in Wano Country and Onigashima right now~
But before that, he needed to visit Vegapunk first. He had heard that the Seraphim Shichibukai had already been created...
"Your Majesty!!!"
"King Gick!!!"
