An "underground war" broke out in Elegia!
The King's Army, pirates, wanted criminals, slave traders, government agents...
All kinds of people.
Some were mixed up with one another, some allied, and some enemies...
They were all tangled together!
But there was one thing almost everyone was doing: "pretending not to know what they knew"!
The Elegia side pretended they were really going after slave traders;
the World Government side pretended they really were slave traders, trying to stir up unrest in the country!
"Whew! Whew! Hahaha..."
The Pompadour had managed to escape, but he still looked shaken.
If he hadn't planted a backup bomb inside the hideout in advance, he wouldn't have had a chance to get away.
He'd almost died!
Red-Haired went without saying. He was a ruthless figure singled out by the World Government.
Forget a mere Pompadour—even if a Marine Admiral from Navy Headquarters went after him personally, they might not be able to take him down!
And besides Red-Haired, there were at least two other "troublesome characters" on the Elegia side.
One was a blind Devil Fruit User with a cane sword. His exact ability was unknown, but the pressure he gave off was no less than that of a Marine Admiral!
The other was that "bizarre" fellow embedded in the Stone Gate...
The "Demon," Aiven Lindsey!
It was him, without a doubt!
As a World Government agent, the Pompadour had naturally heard that name.
The mastermind behind the Sabaody Archipelago riots, and the heinous criminal who had killed a Celestial Dragon—he was still missing to this day.
Why was he in Elegia?
Had he teamed up with Red-Haired, too?
For a moment, countless guesses flooded the Pompadour's mind, but he couldn't confirm any of them.
"Forget it, forget it..."
The Pompadour shook his head
