The vast sea suddenly fell into an oppressive silence.
Faced with the sudden, inexplicable actions of three Emperors, not only the people of Marine Headquarters and the many pirates—
Even Gild Tesoro and Douglas Bullet, who had joined forces, could not help but darken their expressions in surprise.
But at their level—
The two who had resolutely allied themselves in order to contend for Laugh Tale from between the Four Emperors' fingers—
Their awakened Devil Fruit abilities were the foundation of their confidence.
As the two suddenly headed for the Golden Ship, Tesoro spoke first. "Haha, I didn't expect our timing to be so perfect. We even get to witness the splendor of the Four Emperors."
"However, ever since the nautical chart to Laugh Tale was revealed, everyone has had the right to compete for the secret treasure left by the Pirate King."
"If the three Emperors intend to join forces and send people to persuade us to leave, that would be rather unreasonable."
"Of course, if you mean to drive us away by force, then we'll each rely on our own means. I believe none of the pirate comrades here, nor the Marines, want to return empty-handed."
His not-so-loud voice was amplified by the luxurious golden microphone, turning into a broadcast that echoed endlessly over the sea with the wind.

Even Kid and the others, who had already formed an alliance while hidden among the crowd, revealed expressions of shared hostility.
