"Considering the gap in strength and influence, our 'hostility rating' in the eyes of the World Government and Navy has probably already surpassed Whitebeard's—and not by a little. That's no good news." Mousse frowned as he turned past the page completely filled by their mother's still rather beautiful figure. Then his already-wide eyes widened even further. "No way?
