Borsalino, You're Under Arrest!

"Warship?"

Kizaru, who was flying at high speed in the sky using the "Yata no Kagami", immediately slowed down when he saw the naval warship sailing on the sea.

"That's a bit strange. There's no branch base in the waters near Whole Cake Island, and this warship is heading towards the depths of the New World... Is it a warship heading to the G14 branch base?"

Kizaru surveyed the naval warship on the sea. There were no "top secret" or other special sail flags hanging on the mast, so it was clearly just an ordinary naval warship.

After a moment's thought, Kizaru stopped flying and began heading towards the naval warship.

He spent some time in Whole Cake Island, gathering a lot of valuable intelligence and gaining a completely new understanding of the newly enthroned Pirate Emperor, "White Dragon Emperor".

In Kizaru's view, he has a responsibility and an obligation to report to headquarters the intelligence he has gathered in Whole Cake Island.

They unexpectedly encountered a warship, which provided a good opportunity to board and rest for a while, and also to send a message to headquarters.

Furthermore...

If you can hitch a ride, who would want to fly on their own?

Kizaru approached the naval warship, activating his Observation Haki, wanting to check beforehand if there were any familiar faces on board.

For example, Vice Admiral Doll of the G14 branch.

But as soon as Kizaru's Observation Haki touched the Navy warship, his expression suddenly changed.

He did indeed sense "familiar faces," and more than one at that.

But this "familiar" person's aura felt so familiar!

Kizaru transformed into a flash of light, teleporting directly onto the deck of the naval warship, where he immediately spotted two "familiar faces" gazing at the sea view.

"Zephyr, and Kuzan."

Kizaru raised his right hand and greeted him with a smile.

"Sashibuli da na~"

Why are Zephyr and Kuzan appearing together in the New World?

A series of questions flashed through Kizaru's mind.

Is it Buster Call being carried out on some pirate?

This is probably the most likely guess...

Zephyr and Aokiji both had somewhat strange expressions upon Kizaru's arrival.

Aokiji glanced at Zephyr- sensei beside him and chose to remain silent.

Zephyr frowned and looked at Kizaru with displeasure.

"Borsalino, I thought you were dead at Storm's hands!"

Zephyr looked Kizaru up and down, and saw that he was unharmed and his breathing was steady.

"I didn't expect you to still be alive and well!"

Zephyr had already learned about Kizaru's situation from Storm.

Today, Zephyr unexpectedly encountered Borsalino at sea, and to his surprise, Borsalino's condition was much better than he had anticipated...

Seriously!

Didn't Storm teach this slippery, lazy guy a lesson?!

Zephyr showed no discomfort at all regarding Kizaru's clearly emotional tone.

He was already used to Professor Zephyr's attitude towards him...

Having spent some time in Whole Cake Island as a "prisoner," Kizaru heard Zephyr's familiar words again, and instead of feeling unhappy, he felt a sense of relief.

"Professor Zephyr, aren't you hurting my feelings by saying that?"

Kizaru adjusted his glasses, his smile unchanged.

"I finally managed to escape from Whole Cake Island!"

Not only Zephyr, but even Aokiji didn't believe that.

Escape?

Who can keep a "Glint Man" who ate the [Glint-Glint Fruit] in check?

Moreover, judging from Kizaru's current state, he clearly hasn't suffered any harm whatsoever!

Compared to Aokiji, Zephyr's associations go on to something much deeper.

' Borsalino has been in Whole Cake Island for so many days... Is Storm trying to recruit him into the Marine Guerrilla Unit?'

"New Marines," that's what Storm called it.

Marine Guerrilla Unit, that's what Zephyr calls them.

Certainly.

Marine Guerrilla Unit could also be "upgraded" into New Marines in the future.

However, Zephyr was not an ambitious person; he preferred to be down-to-earth and take things one step at a time.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Kizaru and Zephyr, Aokiji prepared to take his leave.

Although he was unaware of Zephyr and Aokiji's shared goal in entering the New World.

However, the simultaneous deployment of a former Admiral and a current Admiral...

It looks like there's a big task to handle!

Kizaru had just "escaped" from Whole Cake Island, and he had no intention of getting involved in Aokiji and Zephyr's mission.

This sounds like such a complicated situation!

Let's go eat first...

Kizaru patted his belly and said in a flippant manner.

"Professor Zephyr, Kuzan, I won't disturb you any longer... I'll just rest on the warship for a little while and then leave."

Kizaru originally intended to board this naval warship to reach a nearby Marine Branch base, and then return to headquarters by ship.

But now, with Aokiji and Zephyr on board, it's obvious there's something wrong...

Kizaru never works overtime!

They eat ramen, submit a report, and then leave!

Having made up his mind, Kizaru took his leave and headed to the mess hall cabin on the naval warship.

Zephyr and Aokiji did not try to stop him, but watched Kizaru leave.

The two of them now want to go to Whole Cake Island...

Zephyr wanted to discuss matters related to the "Marine Guerrilla Unit" with Storm.

Aokiji... no one knows what he's thinking right now.

He himself said he "wanted to visit Whole Cake Island."

Suddenly, the two encountered Kizaru, who had "escaped" from Totto Land...

It wouldn't be accurate to call it awkward, but it definitely felt a bit uncomfortable.

After Kizaru's figure completely disappeared, Zephyr silently took out a Den Den Mushi.

Aokiji watched Zephyr's actions, "Zephyr- sensei?"

"A call to Storm..."

Zephyr gave a casual explanation and then dialed the number.

When Zephyr contacted us.

Storm is in the Sky Garden, dealing with the outcome of the battle between the Storm Pirates and the Dawn Pirates.

Ace and his group of young people have emotions that come and go quickly.

Even though he had just lost to Edward Teach.

Ace and his friends weren't too discouraged.

Storm fed them a bowl of chicken soup, telling them that "the future belongs to you."

These guys then "came back to full health" on the spot.

Following Edward Teach.

Ace and his crew then challenged the remaining members of the Dawn Pirates.

It's one thing if they can't defeat Whitebeard the Second.

Are all the Dawn Pirates strong enough to be like Whitebeard the Second.?

All in all.

The future belongs to us!

With this in mind, Ace and his companions excitedly challenged the remaining members of the Dawn Pirates.

And then... that was it...

The Dawn Pirates Clay Person, each with Eight-Star of skill.

Even the big black dog Ichi used an Eight-Star [Clay Fruit] to create its body!

Even without using Devil Fruit abilities.

Ichi and his group could easily overwhelm Ace and his group of youngsters simply by virtue of their physical attributes.

Compared to that "battle" with Edward Teach.

In the subsequent sparring matches, Ace and his friends simply didn't lose as quickly as before...

Ace and his companions challenged Edward Teach all the way up to Ichi.

In the end, I was almost beaten to the point of questioning my existence.

It's one thing that the members of the Dawn Pirates are strong.

Why are the dogs in the Dawn Pirates so strong?!

Faced with the dejected members, Storm stopped trying to give them pep talks and looked directly at Aru.

Pirates, huh!

There's no obstacle that a banquet can't solve!

If so, then let's have another meal!

"Aru, it's your time to shine!"

"Yes, Captain."

Aru immediately unleashed the power of the [Eat-Eat Fruit], creating a large quantity of abundant and delicious food on the spot.

The banquet has begun!

And just as the banquet was halfway through...

Storm received a Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi from Zephyr.

After exchanging a few words with Zephyr, he hung up the Den Den Mushi.

' Kizaru actually ran into Zephyr and Aokiji on the way... That's really 'lucky'...'

Storm stood up and surveyed the entire room.

"Everyone, keep eating and drinking. I'm going to go pick up a few people now."

Although the members of the Storm Pirates were reluctant to Storm, they still agreed to comply.

Just then, Storm directly called out Nami's name.

"Nami, come with me!"

"I?"

Nami blinked, immediately wiped her mouth, and floated to Storm's side.

"Yes, Captain!"

By this time, some members had already realized who the "person" Storm was supposed to pick up was—

Navy!

A Blue-Eyes White Dragon emerged from beneath Storm and Nami's feet, and the two flew directly away from the Sky Garden.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon sped away from Whole Cake Island, arriving directly near the naval warship where Zephyr and Aokiji were.

At that moment, Kizaru had just finished eating 11 bowls of miso ramen.

"The miso ramen from the Navy definitely tastes better!"

Just as Kizaru was about to enjoy his twelfth bowl of miso ramen.

A powerful surge of [Conqueror's Haki] suddenly enveloped the entire naval warship.

One by one, the ordinary marines on the naval warships collapsed to the ground.

In the mess hall cabin where Kizaru was located, he was the only one who could remain conscious.

Sensing this familiar [Conqueror's Haki], Kizaru's expression changed drastically, and he instantly vanished in a flash of light.

When he reappeared, he was already standing on the deck of a warship.

At this moment, several figures were standing on the deck of the naval warship.

Zephyr.

Aokiji.

Also included were two high-ranking officers from the Marine Guerrilla Unit — Ain and Binz.

Kizaru glanced at the two young marines, Ain and Binz, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

These two marines are quite well-behaved.

But then, Kizaru turned his attention to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon that blotted out the sun in the sky!

At first.

Kizaru and Akainu teamed up to execute Buster Call against Storm, but were soundly defeated, causing the Buster Call to fail.

Now.

Kizaru is not only accompanied by Aokiji, but also by Zephyr.

Three Admiral versus one Pirate Emperor!

The advantage is in my hands!

"Zephyr, Kuzan."

Kizaru looked up at the sky, his expression confident.

"Today, let's teach Storm a lesson!"

Aokiji nodded subconsciously.

Among the Navy's top fighters, he is one of the very few who has never fought against either the "White Dragon Emperor" or the "Red Dragon Emperor".

Even if we set that aside...

Aokiji was also eager to see if Storm's strength was really as great as the legends said!

However, Zephyr, standing to the side, did not heed Kizaru's advice.

A pair of Seastone shackles had appeared in Zephyr's hands without his noticing.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

There was a "click".

Zephyr transferred the Seastone shackles from his hand to Kizaru's wrist.

"Borsalino, you're under arrest!"

First update.

Also, before 12 o'clock.
