Dragon, who had infiltrated Pluton, quickly discovered that its interior was not unobstructed. Instead, a bulkhead blocked the way every dozen or so meters.
But Dragon did not care. As long as the passages were not completely sealed off, with his elementalization ability, he could pass through the tiniest gaps.
"Hmm? Where is the person controlling Pluton?" Dragon muttered in mild surprise.
With his Observation Haki, the thousand-meter length of the giant ship was nothing.
Yet after spreading his Observation Haki across the entire vessel, he had failed to detect a single trace of life.
"Did they already escape? Or was everything before this merely a malfunction in the control system caused by the passage of time?" Dragon pondered for only a moment before turning into a breeze and drifting toward the other rooms. "There's no time to think about that. I need to find Pluton's control room as quickly as possible!"
Sakazuki, the second to enter Pluton, narrowed his eyes and followed Dragon's aura. "Dragon, don't think you can shake me off!"
"Hmm? Sakazuki caught up that quickly?" Sensing the change in aura behind him, Dragon immediately accelerated and flew forward.
Then, just as Dragon passed through the next bulkhead and flew onward, the previously ordinary-looking room began changing on its own. All the disguising outer structures retracted.
Thus, when Sakazuki arrived, what appeared before him was a room entirely different from the ordinary rooms before, brimming everywhere with a high-tech atmosphere.
However, after lingering for the span of a breath, Sakazuki accelerated again and flew in Dragon's direction.
Somewhere in the South Blue, someone aboard Griffin fell silent.
"Was Sakazuki... actually blind?"
This time, Pluton had not concealed its size, so all the major forces received the corresponding intelligence.
The fourth person to arrive at the battlefield
