Zephyr arrived together with Baby-5, Shiryu of the Rain, and the others.
After bringing the two into the Fortress Space, Dawn first went to the location Zephyr had mentioned and found the ship anchored on the sea.
The moment Dawn landed on the ship, he immediately drew wary looks. But once everyone recognized him, they relaxed.
Glancing around, Dawn spotted Chloe standing beside Baby-5 and greeted her. "You got here pretty fast. Did everything go smoothly?"
"Of course. Moria was over the moon," Chloe said with a smile.
Dawn nodded at that, then turned to the others. "Let's go. We'll talk inside."
Ouroboros opened the gate once more. Dawn entered first, and the rest followed him in one after another.
When Dawn led several people into the space, Aokiji's expression turned incomparably grave the instant he saw the faces behind Dawn. Ice instantly spread beneath his feet!
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The ice was stopped by an invisible barrier when it reached Dawn's feet. Yet neither Dawn nor those behind him showed any intention of attacking.
"Well now, Mr. Aokiji, calm down first." Dawn waved a hand with a smile. "Don't get worked up. Please hear me out."
"My, my. If those two behind you are part of your plan, then there's nothing for us to discuss."
Aokiji's gaze was razor-sharp. "The Marines' affairs do not require pirates to interfere!"
It was no wonder Aokiji reacted so strongly. One of the women standing behind Dawn was someone he knew all too well.
A senior officer of the Thunder God Pirates—Chloe!
And the man in black robes who had come aboard the ship with him also revealed his face.
He was Bullet, a former Pirate King crew member who had caused a tremendous upheaval across the seas before being defeated by Dawn
