At that, Kurozumi Orochi froze for a moment.
"I know the situation is urgent, but are you sure you're just going to leave Lirisk alone?"
The disappearance of someone so important was absolutely no good thing for them.
In response, Oric rose to his feet and shook his head.
"As long as he's alive, that's enough. I'll find him and get the truth out of him."
"And right now..."
After saying that, Oric pondered for a moment before speaking. "Wano Country is in your hands, General Kurozumi. Tell Kaido to move faster. The Navy's earlier actions, coupled with this incident, have stretched our forces far too thin."
Kurozumi Orochi frowned.
"You're going there alone?"
"What? You think I have a problem too?"
"No, not quite."
He leaned back in his chair and waved a hand. "But think this through. Both the Navy and the Sea King are there. It'll be quite dangerous for you too."
"Heh, if I can't beat them, it's not like I don't know how to run."
Oric grinned confidently.
"Besides, I won't give them that chance."
Wano Country, a secret cave.
"Sir!"

Ron nodded and asked, "Where are you now?"
"We're currently deep in the heart of the New World, seventy nautical miles north of the Red-Haired Sea..."
Dorte quickly reported their location, then asked quietly, "Do you have a mission for me?"
"That's right. You know about what happened on the Red Line, don't you? The Fleet Admiral can't get away right now. Take my identification and immediately inform Vice Admiral Momousagi to return and provide support. Wait for the Fleet Admiral's orders."
As the captain of the Assassination Unit, Dorte had actually learned of the unrest on the Red Line
