Before the port of Dressrosa.
The Azure Dragon brought Luo Wen and his group to the ground. After everyone landed, the Azure Dragon continued to circle in the sky.
Meanwhile, Magellan, Hannibal, and the others also boarded the Devil Fruit and headed to the port.
"Commander-in-Chief Luo Wen acted with lightning speed, leading a Marineford War at Marineford and arriving with us," Magellan praised Luo Wen first, then added, "All 256 Devil Fruit have been safely delivered."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
Luo Wen glanced at the Devil Fruit and casually replied.
"It's not hard work, it's not hard work."
Magellan felt somewhat ashamed.
Comparing the two, he was genuinely embarrassed to accept that comment.
He had Bullet, Redfield, and a few others protecting him as he walked, and did nothing but stand guard in front of the Devil Fruit.
Meanwhile, Luo Wen fought a major battle, killing three monstrous Five Elders, and also took the opportunity to declare war on the world.
Compared to Luo Wen, he's been just a bystander ever since he came out of Impel Down; it's really embarrassing to say he's had a hard time.
Luo Wen nodded slightly, showing no intention of teasing Magellan.
Meanwhile, Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, Kizaru, and Aokiji, who were standing behind Luo Wen, stared wide-eyed at the several large baskets of Devil Fruit.
"256 Devil Fruit?"
"Devil Fruit are packed in baskets?"
"These Devil Fruit are probably his main purpose in going to Impel Down."
The group murmured in disbelief.
They had never seen anything so extravagant before; baskets and baskets of Devil Fruit were displayed in front of them like ordinary fruit, creating a tremendous visual Impact.
Even the Navy's treasury in Mary Geoise has a limit of forty-five Devil Fruit.
It's practically impossible to have 256 Devil Fruit all together.
With their intelligence, it wasn't hard for them to guess that it was taken from those prisoners in Impel Down.
The ability to strip away the Luo Wen Devil Fruit others have already eaten is terrifying.
With these 256 Devil Fruit, the mid-to-high-level strength of the Neo Marines will experience a surge.
Furthermore, with Luo Wen possessing the Devil Fruit Ability, the Neo Marines will never lack Devil Fruit again.
Given time, the Neo Marines will possess almost all Devil Fruit, truly giving them the ability to suppress every island in the sea.
To achieve true order and the true justice they desire throughout the world.
In an instant, Sengoku, Tsuru, and the others saw great hope, and their resistance to joining the Neo Marines completely disappeared.
At this moment, everyone saw Gion, Zephyr, and other high-ranking Neo Marines who had come to greet them, as well as Robin and Nami dressed in their finest attire.
Luo Wen walked in front, smiling as he went to greet them.
Magellan's party and Sengoku's party walked side by side, following behind Luo Wen.
"Ha, ha, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you've come too!"
Magellan greeted Sengoku somewhat awkwardly.
He threw the ball a little too quickly, and seeing his old boss now made him feel extremely awkward.
"Magellan, do your job well in the Neo Marines from now on."
The Sengoku faced the same predicament.
He himself, the Fleet Admiral, had also defected to the enemy, and coincidentally, he encountered his subordinates who had defected earlier.
This feeling is so subtle.
However, even more embarrassing things were yet to come.
Luo Wen shook hands with Zephyr, Binz, and the others who came to greet him, and then hugged each of the girls, including Gion and Nami.
Zephyr didn't dare to intrude on Luo Wen's family affairs; he had more important matters to attend to.
"Haha, Sengoku, Garp, you old bastards, you're here too!"
"And Tsuru, it's been so long!"
Zephyr laughed loudly as he approached the Sengoku.
With his tall stature, he strode confidently, exuding a powerful and imposing presence.
Behind him followed a long line of students, led by Binz and Ain, all with rosy cheeks and full of energy.
He wanted to show off in front of the Sengoku and make a good fool of his old friend.
"That old man!"
Sengoku immediately turned his head away, not wanting to see Zephyr's smug look.
He knew that Zephyr wouldn't miss the chance to mock him.
However, Zephyr's arm seemed to have recovered, and he looked like a young man again, which really surprised him.
"Haha, you old codger, looks like you're doing well!" Garp gave his old comrade a bear hug without any hesitation.
At that moment, he felt a deep sense of familiarity when he looked at Zephyr.
Only Zephyr, who hadn't participated in the Navy's execution of Ace, could be someone he could be completely at ease with.
Although the others did nothing wrong, it takes time for them to accept it.
"You still can't forget Sengoku, but it wasn't Sengoku's fault for sending you away." Tsuru also gave Zephyr a light hug. "After you left, Sengoku directly killed Whitebeard Jr.., avenging you!"
"I know that." Zephyr glanced at Sengoku and laughed, "I just want to see him embarrassed!"
He certainly knew that Whitebeard Jr.. had died in the Sengoku, and his resentment towards the Sengoku had long since dissipated by then.
However, these are all old friends, so we definitely have to tease them a bit.
"That old geezer really doesn't know who he is."
He was keeping a close eye on Zephyr's Sengoku period and felt somewhat resentful.
So what if I joined the Neo Marines a few days earlier? What's the big deal!
If he had joined with Zephyr, he would definitely be ahead of Zephyr now.
Zephyr looked at Sengoku's expression and laughed triumphantly.
Then, Kizaru and Aokiji also shook hands warmly with Zephyr.
"You two have finally chosen the right person to follow. Commander-in-Chief Luo Wen is much more responsible than some of those Fleet Admiral." Zephyr patted the two on the shoulders. "Work hard in the Neo Marines from now on, and don't embarrass me!"
Aokiji and Kizaru didn't dare to respond to Zephyr's words, and simply nodded, saying, "We will definitely follow in Commander-in-Chief Luo Wen's footsteps and do our best in the Neo Marines."
Then, the two quickly changed the subject, saying, "Professor Zephyr, your hands and body?"
"Well, thanks to Commander-in-Chief Luo Wen's help, I've recovered to my peak strength." Zephyr said proudly, swinging his thick right arm. "Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to cling to the position of Admiral."
"Hello, Commander-in-Chief Luo Wen! Unlike some people who don't care about me anymore just because I'm old!"
Even at this moment, Zephyr didn't forget to subtly reflect on the Sengoku.
At this moment, the Sengoku period was already turning blue with anger.
"Hehe, then I wish you, Teacher Zephyr, to grow younger and younger!"
Aokiji and Kizaru were completely overwhelmed by Zephyr's indirect attacks, so they had to change the subject.
Zephyr stopped making things difficult for his two prized students and moved on to the final, most important part.
Zephyr patted Sengoku on the shoulder and said with feigned emotion, "Back then, I really had to thank you, Sengoku, for forcing me out of the Navy. Otherwise, I would have been the one being yelled at by Commander-in-Chief Luo Wen."
His meaning was, of course, that the Navy was being called an accomplice of the King of the Pirates and the World Government by Luo Wen, and in fact, that wasn't wrong.
Sengoku's face turned from blue to purple, and his fists clenched tightly.
Zephyr then pointed to the large group of Neo Marines Rear Admiral and Vice Admiral behind him and said proudly, "Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Look at my disciples; they're all practicing true justice!"
His meaning was, of course, that the navy under Sengoku's guidance was inferior to the Neo Marines, which he had supported.
At this moment, Sengoku was completely red-faced, and said through gritted teeth, "Zephyr, you've gotten too cocky!"
"Neo Marines Inspector General, I quit!"
"I'm going to become a Neo Marines Admiral, and I'll definitely outdo you, you old bastard!"
Saving face is no longer important; suppressing Zephyr's arrogance is the most important thing now.
"Haha! You can't beat me!" Zephyr laughed smugly. "I work sixteen hours a day without pay, what do you have to compete with me!"
Sengoku has gone mad, determined to prove himself against Zephyr: "I don't want a salary, I'll work eighteen hours a day!"
Tsuru, Aokiji, and Kizaru watched the two arguing with a mix of exasperation and amusement.
Meanwhile, Zephyr's large group of students faced the same helplessness.
For a moment, Tsuru, Aokiji, Kizaru, and the person opposite them resonated with each other.
The awkward feeling of joining the Neo Marines disappeared without a trace.
