In Sengoku's home, the sudden blare of the alarm bell caused the three Navy Headquarters elders, who had just sat down, to rush into the courtyard without even having time to take a sip of their tea.

"That's--"

Looking up at the roof of the Headquarters Building, Garp's pupils contracted as he saw the strangely dressed figures on the rooftop. "Knights of God!"

Sengoku asked with a confused and somewhat exasperated expression, "How did the Knights of God's teleportation array appear on the roof of the Headquarters Building? Was it summoned by a mole, or did they mark it after the building was constructed?"

Zephyr's reaction was relatively calm. After silently observing the figures on the rooftop, he spoke unhurriedly, "Garp, do you know these people?"

"Several of them are members of the Knights of God who participated in the Valley of Gods Hunting Game thirty-two years ago!"

Garp nodded and continued, "To be precise, except for one young woman, the other five appeared in the Valley of Gods incident that year!"

On the roof of the Navy Headquarters Building.

The first to emerge from the teleportation array was an unusually young woman with heterochromia and long legs.

She wore a newsboy cap with goggles, a cloak, and a double-breasted top with unusually long sleeves. Her lower body was clad in shorts similar to a bikini, revealing her long legs entirely. She wore knee-high boots, giving her a heroic yet slightly exhibitionistic aura.

Junzi--

A member of the Knights of God, an Arrow-Arrow Fruit user.

As Junzi, whose mouth was wrapped in bandages, stepped out of the teleportation array, flames surged again within the array behind her. An invisible pressure rippled outwards, as if distorting the void itself, appearing extremely bizarre.

Immediately after, several figures materialized from the teleportation array.

Following closely behind Junzi was a masked man wearing a mask with the number "46" printed on it. The masked man wielded a rapier, and his face was hidden by the mask.

Next came a long-haired woman with an elegant demeanor, wearing a crop top and a seductive figure, followed by a short-haired woman with a quiet appearance.

As the three emerged from the teleportation array, the flame-covered array vanished, leaving two strangely dressed men standing guard, warily surveying their surroundings.

One of the men, standing where the teleportation array had disappeared, carried a long-handled scythe and wore a Skull Mask. Although he hadn't moved an inch from beginning to end, he exuded a suffocating aura of death, as if the Grim Reaper had descended.

Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the skull-masked man was a hooded man carrying a spear, who looked like a boy next door.

As Junzi and the group of six appeared on the roof of the Headquarters Building, the area was immediately surrounded by Navy soldiers drawn by the alarm.

Then, a flash of light shot up from the ground, instantly appearing opposite Junzi and the others. It was Navy Admiral Borsalino.

Before Junzi and the others could react, Sakazuki and Kuzan emerged from the rooftop exit, side by side.

"The Three Admirals of Navy Headquarters!"

Looking at the three who had appeared one after another, Junzi spoke without hesitation, "It seems you haven't been affected by the mutiny at all. Therefore, can I infer that you all participated in this unprecedented mutiny in Navy history last night?"

Hearing this, Borsalino, the first to arrive on the rooftop, surveyed the uninvited guests with a lazy gaze and said, "Knights of God? How terrifying, to arrive directly at Navy Headquarters via teleportation array."

"Borsalino, don't misunderstand~"

Before Junzi could speak, the long-haired woman beside her immediately stepped forward. "We are not here to hold you accountable, but to negotiate with Vice Admiral Akira on behalf of the Holy Land."

Upon hearing this, Borsalino and Sakazuki exchanged a knowing glance.

Although this outcome was within their expectations, they were still surprised that the negotiators were members of the Knights of God.

As Admirals, they were not only aware of the Knights of God but also knew that their primary duty was to protect the Celestial Dragons residing in the Holy Land and maintain order among them.

Even if the Knights of God occasionally left the Holy Land for special missions, it was always for matters directly concerning the Celestial Dragons. In a situation like the mutiny at Navy Headquarters, if the Knights of God were to intervene, it would only be after the Five Elders in the Chamber of Power found it extremely difficult to handle.

Yet, at this moment, the Five Elders in the Chamber of Power had not made any statement, and the Knights of God had already arrived at Navy Headquarters via teleportation array, and six of them at that? This left them unsure of what was happening in the Holy Land and made them unable to fathom the Holy Land's attitude.

"Have Akira come to see us!"

Just then, Junzi stepped forward, standing beside the long-haired woman, and said with a cold expression, "If he wants to secure his position as Marshal of Navy Headquarters, he had better not keep us waiting too long!"

"What arrogance!"

As soon as Junzi finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately after, two figures emerged from the rooftop exit: Akira and Gion.

Akira, emerging from the exit, didn't stop walking. He went straight to the front of the Three Admirals, then looked up directly at Junzi and said solemnly, "Miss Junzi, you are not qualified to negotiate with me, because what I want, you cannot give!"

"You... you know me?"

Unexpectedly, Akira called her by name, Junzi's pupils contracted. She stared at Akira, her eyes unblinking.

It was important to note that the Knights of God rarely appeared in public, and even many people in the Holy Land were unaware of how many members they had. This was because the Knights of God included not only Celestial Dragons residing in the Holy Land but also many powerful individuals from the seas recruited into their ranks. After joining, these recruits almost always concealed their identities.

Most importantly, she had not been a member of the Knights of God for long. Apart from some members of the Knights of God, even the Five Elders did not know she was currently a member.

And Akira, who had initiated the mutiny and seized control of the Navy, had only been in the Navy for six years and appeared even younger than her. Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for Akira to know her name!

Akira did not answer Junzi. His sharp gaze swept over the other five members of the Knights of God, and he said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, the five of you should all be members of the Knights of God who participated in the Valley of Gods Hunting Game thirty-two years ago."

"It seems you haven't fared very well. You were already members of the Knights of God over thirty years ago, yet you follow behind a young girl. Truly lamentable!"

"After so many years in the Knights of God without any advancement, why not switch allegiance and serve me? I will offer you a brilliant future."
