Boa Hancock Refuses the Summons

People all over the world were discussing it heatedly.

"Is the Navy serious this time? They're publicly executing Fire Fist Ace, the commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division?"

"Not only that! One of the Pirate Supernovas has gone completely mad and directly kidnapped a Celestial Dragon."

"No one knows what the future of this world will be like. Either nothing happens, or every major event erupts all at once."

"Exactly! The Navy should be able to crush all of this, right? They represent justice. If even justice loses in the end, can this world still be considered safe?"

The people were worried, afraid, and terrified, filled with all sorts of emotions.

Over the past few days, elite Marines from branches and divisions across the world had been transferred to Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

At that moment, a Navy warship docked at the shore. Donquixote Doflamingo, draped in a pink cape, swaggered down the ship with his legs spread wide.

"Fufufufu~~" Doflamingo said with a grin as he walked, "The air at Marine Headquarters really makes me feel sick!!"

"Doflamingo, watch your words," Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Doberman sternly warned from the side.

Doflamingo continued to laugh. "Fufufufu~~"

"A Celestial Dragon was kidnapped, yet your Navy still hasn't rescued them. Aren't the Five Elders and those people at the Holy Land getting anxious? Or has the Navy become useless now?"

"Doflamingo." Doberman fixed him with a dangerous stare.

This matter was already a disgrace to the Navy!

Yet Doflamingo insisted on rubbing salt in the wound.

Doflamingo ignored Doberman and continued walking forward on his own.

With Doflamingo's arrival at Marine Headquarters, Marineford,

Gecko Moria, Dracule Mihawk, and the fully modified cyborg Bartholomew Kuma also arrived at Marine Headquarters one after another.

They were preparing to face Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world.

At that moment, a man led by Marines also landed at Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

That man was Blackbeard Teach, who had defeated Fire Fist Ace and become a new Shichibukai.

Blackbeard Teach looked at the magnificent buildings before him and laughed. "Zehahahaha~~"

"As expected of Marine Headquarters, Marineford! These buildings are truly spectacular."

"If I hadn't become a Shichibukai, I probably would never have gotten to see this place."

Hōshōzan, a Marine Headquarters vice admiral beside him, said, "This is a place that represents justice in the world. How could Pirates be allowed to come here whenever they pleased? You Shichibukai are the only exception."

"Zehahahaha~~" Blackbeard Teach burst out laughing. "Is that so?"

At the same time, a fierce glint flashed in Blackbeard Teach's eyes. Everything was proceeding step by step according to his plan.

As long as everything went smoothly, Blackbeard Teach would soon become the new overlord of these seas.

Thinking of that, Blackbeard Teach could not help laughing again.

Meanwhile, in the Fleet Admiral's office.

Sengoku tapped his fingers against the desk and said with a grim expression, "So five Shichibukai have arrived in total now?"

"Yes, Fleet Admiral Sengoku," the Marine soldier beside him replied respectfully.

Sengoku continued, "Donquixote Doflamingo, Gecko Moria, Blackbeard Teach, Bartholomew Kuma, and Dracule Mihawk. Only Boa Hancock is left."

"As for Jinbe, he dared to oppose this public execution? Then he can reflect properly in Impel Down!!"

"By the way, Boa Hancock still refuses this summons?"

"Yes, Fleet Admiral Sengoku," the Marine soldier reported. "On Vice Admiral Momonga's side, everyone except Vice Admiral Momonga himself has been petrified by Boa Hancock's Devil Fruit ability."

"Judging by the time, even if Vice Admiral Momonga brings Boa Hancock back, there basically won't be enough time."

"That woman." Sengoku narrowed his eyes. "It seems this Shichibukai, Boa Hancock, no longer wishes to continue serving."

"Sigh! These really are troubled times!!"

"The Celestial Dragon still hasn't been rescued, and now Shichibukai are running into problems one after another. On top of that, we're about to face the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku?" the Marine soldier beside him asked worriedly.

Sengoku waved his hand. "It's nothing. You may leave."

"Yes, Fleet Admiral Sengoku." After receiving the order, the Marine soldier withdrew from Sengoku's office.

Sengoku muttered to himself, "What exactly is the reason? Why isn't that woman Boa Hancock coming for the summons?"

"Doesn't she know that refusing this summons means being expelled from the Shichibukai?"

"No matter your reason, your time as a Shichibukai is over, Boa Hancock." Sengoku made his final decision and planned to expel Boa Hancock from the Shichibukai.

After all, a Shichibukai who completely refused orders was worse than simply replacing her.

Meanwhile, in the palace of Amazon Lily, far away in the Calm Belt.

Granny Nyon had no idea how many times she had already tried to persuade Boa Hancock.

"Hancock, do you truly not intend to answer the Navy's summons?"

"Do you know that once the war between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates ends, they'll send troops to Amazon Lily!?"

"The Navy now has enough technology to sail through the Calm Belt. Do you understand how serious this is, Boa Hancock?" By now, Granny Nyon's voice was nearly hoarse from talking.

Yet Boa Hancock remained unmoved throughout. She ignored Granny Nyon and also ignored Vice Admiral Momonga, who was waiting on the sea outside Amazon Lily.

What no one knew was that, at this very moment, Luo Chen's image filled Boa Hancock's mind.

That man who had dared to kidnap a Celestial Dragon.

He had completely overturned Boa Hancock's understanding. There really were people who dared to challenge the gods.
