Aimed Straight at Marine Headquarters

Following the incident, the World Economic News immediately dispatched personnel to the Holy Land.

A photograph of the Holy Land after the explosion spread throughout the world at the same time.

The world was shaken, and the newspapers published overnight the following day spread throughout the world.

"The Holy Land Mary Geoise has been attacked for the third time!"

"The killer is suspected to be World Destroyer."

"The World Destroyer wields a weapon comparable to Ancient Weapon?"

Such immense destruction inevitably leads one to associate it with Ancient Weapon.

The world was shocked, the World Government was furious, the navy was terrified, and the Great Pirate of the New World and ambitious figures around the world laughed with excitement.

Since the Bondy Pirates were attacked and destroyed by the World Government and the Navy, Bondy a's counterattack has already begun in a short period of time.

They knew this was just the beginning.

Although it is unknown what exactly happened that night, Bondy a must have escaped from the Holy Land and was not captured by the World Government and the Navy.

Otherwise, the news wouldn't be so one-sided.

"Expand the placement of sensors." This was not only an order from the World Government, but also from the Marine Headquarters.

They have already seen the effectiveness of the sensors, which detected the intruders in advance. Without the sensors, the World Government might not have even discovered the complete invasion of Bondy a.

If they had discovered the intruders earlier and had more time, they wouldn't have been so hasty in their preparations.

The Marine Headquarters was also aware of the potential danger, because they didn't know who Bondy a's next target would be.

Or the World Government? Or perhaps the main force of the Marines that wiped out the Bondy Pirates?

Regardless, they need to be prepared.

Marine Headquarters and all Marine Branch are prepared to respond.

"Is it here?"

Several men dressed in suits and wearing masks stood on an unnamed island.

His expression exuded a cold and murderous aura.

These are the agents sent by the World Government to find Bondy a, among whom are those with special abilities.

"The trail ends here. Bondy a must have spent a day on this island." An agent shook his head and closed his eyes. He was Devil Fruit User and could detect any trace.

"They should leave by submarine, but it won't take long, only two days. Bondy a won't go too far from the Red Line."

"Without a coating, even a submarine cannot traverse thousands of meters of deep sea to reach the Grand Line, unless it is willing to abandon its submarine."

"We are monitoring every island that can be coated, including many people who know the coating techniques."

"The probability of abandoning the submarine is not high."

This was his view: where could Bondy a hide without the protection of the sea?

They've been tracking Bondy's trail for so many days, and if it weren't for a that Bondy always escaped via submarine, causing communication disruptions, the World Government might have captured Bondy long ago.

"So, he's still hiding on some island near the Red Line, continuing the search. Even submarines can't sail indefinitely; they'll need to refuel eventually. When the time comes, we'll wipe him out in one fell swoop," the agent said coldly.

"He can't hide for long."

The World Government suspected that, as they had been searching for the unnamed islands near the Red Line these past few days, Bondy a had been constantly changing locations in this area.

If Bondy a wants to reach the Grand Line, he must abandon his submarine.

Without a vehicle, it is very difficult for one person to navigate the seas.

Bondy a is a superhuman, but he doesn't have the ability of Dracule Mihawk or former Radelfield to sail the ocean alone in a small boat.

This was under circumstances where Byrnndi World was solely focused on avoiding the situation.

But is he really that kind of person?

No one wants to face the revenge of a world-class powerhouse, especially one who wields terrifying weapons.

Even though Bondy a was a rather arrogant and reckless man, the years of being frozen in time had given him a more delicate side.

This is a sad thing, because he truly has nothing now.

When his brother brought back several former companions, they came to find him immediately.

Even though Bondy a was somewhat distrustful, he was still secretly pleased.

Because Teach released Bondy a almost eighteen years early, Bondy a was only frozen for a little over ten years, which is not as obsessive as the thirty years he spent in prison.

Fortunately, Bondy a didn't become so cold-hearted and completely distrustful of his companions.

But now it has turned into despair; he has lost everything.

Yes, Bondy a won't keep running away.

Anyone who has dealt with Bondy a knows that he won't stay hidden forever.

He was not afraid of death; even in his final moments, he believed it would be a glorious one.

The Whitebeard Pirates haven't held any banquets lately. He has no interest in the current battle for supremacy in the New World; even if a new emperor is born, he'll be nothing more than a junior in his eyes.

Surprisingly, he paid close attention to Bondy a.

Bondy a's fate saddened him; the destruction of his pirate crew was something he never wanted to see, nor did he want to experience such a thing himself.

"Another elder of our generation is about to leave us." The Whitebeard drank his wine in silence, a sense of melancholy in his heart.

This was inevitable. Roger left, Shiki left, John, Silver Axe, and Ochoku also left.

Even though they were once enemies, Whitebeard later felt a sense of nostalgia; time is the most terrifying thing.

Now, all he needs to do is protect his family.

On the other side, Pluto Rayleigh, was also filled with emotion. Bondy a had fought against the Roger Pirates many times, and now he was in this situation.

As an observer, Rayleigh could better sense the changing times; their era was passing, and the older generation was growing old or even disappearing.

A new generation of pirates is taking their place.

This era, equally glorious.

Dark Lord Teach, Red-Haired Shanks, Clown Buggy, Gecko Moria, Erik the Tormentor, Evil Spirit Wendigo, and other rising overlords.

Furthermore, there are also Big Mom, Kaido of the Beasts, Demon Caesar, who belong to the previous era and reached their peak in this era.

"Would you like to see what kind of brilliance Bondy a will ultimately bring?"

"Rediat, go check it out for me." Teach stood on a platform made of special steel, shirtless, legs spread wide in a horse stance, throwing punches forward repeatedly, doing the simplest exercise.

Rediat stood outside the platform, while Teach trained under the immense gravity. If anyone else stood on it, their body would be instantly crushed by the terrifying gravity.

Even at his peak, Teach never gave up his pursuit of power; it was a habit, and he hadn't reached his limit.

The end of Bondy a was inevitable, just as the end of Golden Lion Shiki was inevitable, but Teach brought it forward.

"Aren't you going to see for yourself?" Rediat asked with a light laugh. "I've been on the move a lot lately. Besides, aren't you planning to retrieve the More-More Fruit, Teach?"

Rediat complained a little, but it was just talk; he wasn't actually angry.

As the captain, all you need to do is improve your strength; leave everything else to your subordinates.

In addition, he also wanted to see the fall of a long-established dominant force.

He wasn't there when Golden Lion Shiki's final performance, which was a regret for him as well.

"The More-More Fruit, let fate decide." Teach shook his head slightly in response to Rediat's question. He would take back Devil Fruit he saw if he saw it.

Teach didn't have a strong desire for such things; he had plenty of Devil Fruit in his Curry.

If he were to personally visit every single precious Devil Fruit, it would be utterly ridiculous; even he would despise himself. This kind of thing is enough.

With their immense power, the Night Pirates acquire a considerable number of Devil Fruit every year.

Ultimately, even a top-tier Paramecia Devil Fruit wasn't worth Teach's personal trip, and Teach had no interest in seeing Bondy a's fate.

He didn't have the same mindset as Whitebeard or Rayleigh. He didn't belong to that era. While Bondy a was imprisoned in Impel Down, he was still fighting and training in the forests of Arcas Island.

Only figures like Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion Shiki are worthy of his attention now.

He personally witnessed Roger's execution.

Golden Lion Shiki ended his own life.

Now, only Whitebeard remains, having lost his will to fight, his strength waning, his body weakening, and all he wants is to live a peaceful life with his children.

To him, Bondy a was just a pawn; no matter how much he did, it couldn't compare to the Flying Pirates.

After all, the Flying Pirates were his serious target, while Bondy a was just a casual matter; there were too many people who could replace him.

Whether he or Rediat personally intervenes, they can destroy that island without the Navy or the World Government finding any evidence.

Even if the World Government finds out, what can they do? What can they do to the Night Pirates?

This is Teach's confidence, and the confidence of the Night Pirates.

The Night Pirates are expanding in an orderly manner, and he no longer needs to personally work to strengthen the pirate crew.

With so many Devil Fruits, does the Night Pirates lack anything? What they lack are strong individuals with enough potential to be suited to those Devil Fruits.

Although many powerful individuals rise from within the Combat Pyramid, only a small fraction actually join the Night Pirates, though even that small fraction is still a considerable number.

Humans are ambitious; they will venture out to other seas, or stay in the Night Sea Domain, while many others are accustomed to the Combat Pyramid and the enjoyment of the Night Sea Domain.

After plundering wealth outside, they returned to the Night Sea Domain to enjoy it.

The Night Sea Domain is now teeming with pirates, a situation that is not uncommon. Generally speaking, places like casinos and Pleasure Street are important locations for the flow of pirate money.

However, its scale is unprecedented.

"Understood." Rediat nodded and left the Night Palace.

Unbeknownst to others, Bondy a piloted his submarine across the Calm Belt to the West Blue, near the Calm Belt.

He also knew that the submarine couldn't last too long; it was built for him by Gaiyram, a veteran member of the Bondy Pirates, who was also an engineer and combatant.

He is now dead.

The submarine docked at the edge of the Red Line. Bondy, carrying his various weapons and with ropes wrapped around his body, ascended using Geppo.

He was going to cross the Red Line alone to the Grand Line.

Two days later, several agents found the same spot; the submarine had already sunk into the deep sea.

"Bondy a has already gone to the Grand Line," the Devil Fruit User deduced. "Or perhaps the Holy Land." These are the only two places a is heading to via the Red Line.

"Notify the government first, we'll continue the pursuit. This time, Bondy a can't escape." One of the agents sounded excited; they had been investigating this for a long time.

Now that Bondy a has abandoned the submarine, he can no longer evade the Trace-Trace Fruit's search by using the ocean. Now, all that is needed is to follow the tracks left by Bondy a to find him.

The Trace-Trace Fruit's ability tracks movements, not just the traces left behind. The user can sense these traces even with their eyes closed, making it difficult to conceal actions like erasing a body from their investigation.

"These are traces from two days ago. We need to hurry, or the World Destroyer will begin their operation."

The group quickly followed the Devil Fruit User.

Both the Marine Headquarters and the World Government received intelligence that Bondy a had arrived on the Grand Line.

All passing ships are subject to strict scrutiny by the navy and the World Government.

Most importantly, the sparsely populated islands are where the Marine Headquarters will send a naval force.

Once Bondy a's whereabouts are discovered, it will be reported immediately, or headquarters will be notified if any naval unit goes missing without a trace.

Both the Navy and the World Government were able to immediately determine the approximate location of Bondy a and send forces to encircle and suppress him.

This Heavenly Net effectively eliminated the possibility of Bondy a launching a sneak attack. Having learned from their experience with the World Government's attack, they were even more prepared this time.

They stopped Bondy a immediately to prevent massive casualties.

On the high seas, several massive logs were connected together in a special way, and a simple boat was secured with ropes. Bondy a sat on the boat.

On the side were Dyna Stone, Plague Bomb, and Destruction Bomb, each containing terrifying power.

He looked somewhat disheveled. He hadn't set foot on land for days. He knew the World Government and the Navy were looking for him, and there was a trail of investigations.

Therefore, he would always avoid the island whenever he saw it, thus preventing himself from being discovered by the navy and successfully becoming a fish that slipped through the net.

With blood smeared at the corners of his mouth, he ate fish when he was hungry, and under the rudimentary conditions, he could only eat raw fish to replenish his energy, but Bondy a didn't care.

"Prepare to face my wrath, Navy!" The two children, their anger burning like flames, were filled with fury.

His target was the Marine Headquarters.
