Dawn Pirates on the Move!

People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized.

Even among the strongest beings in the ocean, each person's abilities differ.

Kizaru is indeed quite different from Figarland Saint Gringu.

The former is Admiral spends most of his time on the front lines of naval combat.

The latter is Celestial Dragons.

Even the highest commander of the Knights of God.

Saint Gringu's daily life was always very "ordinary".

Mary Geoise was a place far removed from the "noise of the world" and protected by a large number of soldiers.

Even though Saint Gringu, Celestial Dragons, possessed top-tier strength, he rarely had the opportunity to fight.

So.

Kizaru's Observation Haki clearly detected the "unfamiliar aura" hidden in the high-altitude clouds, approaching along with the dark clouds and thunder.

Saint Gringu, however, still believed that the dark clouds and Lightning in the sky were all natural weather changes in the New World.

This is the difference in combat experience!

Certainly.

This also reflects a gap in combat intelligence.

Even if Kizaru doesn't use [Observation Haki] to sense the other person's aura.

He also knew who the visitor was.

Kizaru had known about it for several days.

"A 'Thunder Man' who ate the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit] is passing by in the sky~"

Kizaru reached out and stopped Saint Gringu, who wanted to return to the cabin to avoid the rain, and gently reminded him.

"Saint Gringu, be careful!"

"Hmm? [Rumble-Rumble Fruit]?"

Saint Gringu was taken aback, then immediately realized something, and without hesitation released his [Observation Haki].

"Sure enough! A group of unfamiliar auras are approaching from the sky!"

"Is Whitebeard the Second. really in there?"

Saint Gringu knew very well that Kizaru and Whitebeard the Second. had clashed several times.

It's not surprising that this Admiral could directly recognize Whitebeard the Second.'s aura.

"It's not just Whitebeard the Second. ~"

Kizaru deliberately put on a serious expression.

"I also sensed the aura of the Golden Lion II, and also... the aura of the Red Dragon Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Saint Gringu's pupils contracted slightly.

He wouldn't doubt Kizaru's words.

Because Kizaru is the person within the World Government system who has had the most interactions with the Dawn Pirates.

Much of the information about the Dawn Pirates was provided by Kizaru.

Even when the Dawn Pirates first attempted a "group operation," they were unexpectedly caught by Kizaru.

This is Kizaru's "experience".

Kizaru's words quickly complicated Saint Gringu's feelings.

He did indeed accept the mission from Imu to "make contact with the Pirate Emperor of the New World".

However, in specific terms...

The World Government's original target was actually only one thing— the Beasts Pirates.

When Saint Gringu entered the New World, he had already prepared to go to Wano Country.

However, Beasts Kaido's "fierce reaction" caused the World Government to temporarily halt its previous plans.

Now.

Beasts Kaido Totto Land and has been "out of contact" for several days.

Judging from the peaceful scene in Whole Cake Island and the calm demeanor of the Beasts Pirates.

The World Government has deduced that the Beasts Pirates seem to have made contact with the Storm Pirates!

After some discussion, Imu and the Gorosei gave Saint Gringu a new "secret mission".

Go to Whole Cake Island and try to make contact with the Storm Pirates!

The Beasts Pirates.

Storm Pirates.

This is the current goal of World Government.

The former is because Beasts Kaido has many secret dealings with the World Government.

The latter is because the White Dragon Emperor seems to have some kind of peculiar obsession with [Devil Fruit]...

All in all.

Both of these Pirate Emperors have a history of cooperating with the World Government.

Regardless of the circumstances.

The Dawn Pirates were definitely not part of the plan!

To be fair...

The World Government is also having a headache over the situation of the Dawn Pirates.

The New Marines's formidable strength did indeed give the World Government a slight shock.

But if we only consider top-tier combat power...

The Dawn Pirates seem to be no less capable than the New Marines, and may even be stronger!

The New Marines includes Zephyr, Aokiji, and Fujitora.

The Dawn Pirates consist of the Red Dragon Emperor, Whitebeard the Second., and Golden Lion II.

Other factions were unaware of the Dawn Pirates' significance.

Doesn't the World Government know this?

The Red Dragon Emperor was a ruthless man who could defeat both the Fleet Admiral and the Pirate Emperor.

Whitebeard II. is a monster who can leave even the Admiral and the Gorosei helpless!

As for the Golden Lion II.

This guy's bounty isn't high, but he can still hold his own against Kizaru.

If we calculate it this way...

The Dawn Pirates can be considered a monster pirate crew with at least five top-tier combatants from across the seas.

This is comparable to the Rocks Pirates, who aspired to be the World King decades ago.

Let's take a look at the situation of the Rocks Pirates.

Rocks, Whitebeard, Big Mom, Golden Lion, the Beasts... and a whole host of other high-ranking officers.

The situation of the Rocks Pirates and the Dawn Pirates.

It's not exactly the same, but it's at least seven or eight parts similar.

If it weren't for the fact that the Dawn Pirates had always been so "well-behaved"...

Otherwise, the World Government would have already targeted this super pirate crew!

The massive waves that the Rocks Pirates stirred up back then must never be repeated.

Just recently, the Dawn Pirates suddenly took action and seized territory that originally belonged to the Red-Haired Pirates.

The World Government and the Marine Headquarters were quite nervous about this for a while.

They saw this as a "prelude" to the Dawn Pirates' imminent large-scale operation.

As it turned out, the Dawn Pirates were quite "well-behaved".

After swallowing up most of the Red-Haired Pirates' territory (the rest was taken over by the Storm Pirates), the Dawn Pirates once again went silent.

In terms of top-tier combat strength, the Dawn Pirates rank first among the Yonko.

Is the White Dragon Emperor strong enough?

The Red Dragon Emperor was his equal.

Whitebeard was strong enough, wasn't he?

Whitebeard the Second. was in no way inferior.

This doesn't even mention Golden Lion II.

This is the Dawn Pirates.

However, in terms of sheer size and influence, the Dawn Pirates are the largest among the Yonko.

However, it came in last place.

The territories occupied by the Red-Haired Pirates... are basically useless; they can't extract much profit from them.

The World Government has no idea what the Dawn Pirates are thinking...

Before gathering more information about the Dawn Pirates.

The World Government has no intention of taking action against this pirate crew.

Saint Gringu also did not receive the mission to "make contact with the Dawn Pirates".

Realistically speaking, this is also because the World Government has no idea where the Dawn Pirates are located...

Anyway.

They unexpectedly "bumped into" the Dawn Pirates in the New World.

Moreover, they seem to be the main force of the Dawn Pirates.

This matter certainly left Saint Gringu with mixed feelings.

Saint Gringu, remembering Lord Imu's orders and Shanks still imprisoned in the New Marines, took a deep breath.

"Kizaru, don't move. Ignore the Dawn Pirates."

Lord Imu's orders are of utmost importance!

Kizaru couldn't help but glance at Saint Gringu.

During this time, he also specifically sought out some intelligence information about Saint Gringu.

In Kizaru's mind, Saint Gringu was the most elite and top-tier Celestial Dragons.

High above, I am the only one who matters.

This is a true reflection of Saint Gringu.

But would even a top-tier Celestial Dragons be afraid of pirates?

Kizaru suddenly felt like laughing, and he grinned as he did.

"Saint Gringu, have you ever heard the saying...?"

Kizaru said with a half-smile.

"When the Navy discovers the pirates, the pirates can also discover the Navy."

Boom!!

No sooner had Kizaru finished speaking than a deafening thunderclap suddenly erupted in the sky.

Amidst the deafening thunder, a dazzling bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, descended from the sky, striking the steel warship flying the World Government flag on the sea surface with perfect accuracy.

Two red lights burst forth from Saint Gringu's eyes, and the Famous Sword hanging at his waist was suddenly drawn, its snow-white blade flashing a sharp light in mid-air.

Laugh--

A crescent-shaped Flying Slash shot out from the blade of the Saint Gringu, slashing towards the dazzling lightning bolt descending from the sky with extreme speed, like chasing light and lightning.

Boom!

The sword light and the lightning collided, immediately triggering a deafening roar.

The thick bolt of lightning that seemed to connect heaven and earth was directly severed by Saint Gringu's strike.

Cut through the thunder!

This is the level of Swordsmanship of Saint Gringu.

He's stronger than a normal Celestial Dragons.

The scattered lightning transformed into dazzling flashes of light, directly illuminating the dim environment.

Amidst the blinding flash of lightning.

Suddenly, a burly, imposing figure appeared at the bow of the warship.

"Here you go~"

Kizaru stood beside Saint Gringu, extending his index finger and pointing it out.

"Whitebeard the Second. has come looking for us himself!"

This seems to confirm what Kizaru said earlier.

"Shut up, Kizaru!"

Saint Gringu glared at the Admiral with annoyance and immediately issued him a "gag order".

That's a jinx.

Doesn't he recognize Whitebeard the Second.?

Saint Gringu withdrew his gaze from Kizaru and instead stared at the tall figure at the bow of the ship.

Shoulder-length blond hair, a crescent-shaped white beard, and a body full of powerful muscles...

Saint Gringu's thoughts seemed to travel directly across time, back to the God Valley decades ago.

During the God Valley Incident back then.

Back then, the Whitebeard looked something like this now...

What a pity.

The real Whitebeard was already old.

And he, Figarland Gringu also getting old.

A faint red light flashed in Whitebeard the Second's eyes as he looked at the two figures standing side by side on the deck of the warship.

He quickly sensed the intensity of Saint Gringu's aura.

'As expected of the Supreme Commander of the Knights of God, his aura is in no way inferior to that of Kizaru next to him...'

A genuine Admiral- level powerhouse!

The World Government's highest combat power hidden behind the scenes!

Second update.

Good morning, everyone.

Goodnight everyone.
