Many people could not help but speculate: did this mean the Star Alliance had already devised corresponding measures against the Devil Fruit ability users in Four Emperors Kaido's army, and was this no-longer-hidden team one such countermeasure?
However, their curiosity would soon be answered.
Jazz's high-profile appearance and astonishing record had stirred all the major surrounding forces into action.
Quite a few people wanted to capture the Star Alliance's future Alliance Leader and force valuable information out of him. Forces on the level of the Four Emperors, meanwhile, intended to use Jazz to deliver a crushing blow to the Star Alliance's morale.
Thus, whether intentionally or not, the pursuing forces from various factions shared information with one another and relentlessly chased Jazz's group all the way.
On the third day after leaving the island, Jazz and the others encountered their first attack. However, Shiryu's overwhelming strength ultimately crushed their opponents.
But from then on, pursuers arrived every day, fearlessly charging in to attack their ship.
Worse still, Cracker of the BIGMOM Pirates had reportedly assembled a massive fleet and was closing in from behind, swearing to wipe out Jazz's team before they could return to the Star Alliance.
Though Jazz appeared calm on the surface, he knew full well that if they continued to suffer several waves of attacks every day, Cracker would catch up with them sooner or later.
And Cracker leading a fleet was completely different from Cracker with only two hundred men in terms of combat power.
Jazz had no extra words to spare. He could only sail back toward the Ashil Kingdom at full speed while contacting several major fleets within the Star Alliance, preparing for them to provide support at any time.
But enemies could surround and intercept them at any moment along the way.
