The Madman Lin Ye Appeared in the West Blue

"You should hide afterward. The Grand Line would be best."

Saul said to the group of historians who had regained consciousness, including Robin.

"The books and records!"

One historian looked sorrowfully at the burning island in the distance.

"As long as people are alive, there will always be a chance to make up for it. If people die, then there will be nothing left."

Saul reminded them.

"That's right. The World Government will never allow us to live, so everyone will have to hide and flee from place to place from now on."

Olvia said, pulling Robin into her arms.

Robin kept looking up at Ohara as it gradually receded into the distance.

"Saul, if I become as strong as that person, no one will be able to stop me from doing anything anymore, right?"

Saul forced out a smile at her words.

But when he saw Robin's longing gaze, he ultimately nodded.

"I understand!"

Robin nodded, etching that figure from earlier into her heart.

"Buru buru buru!"

The Den Den Mushi rang urgently, and Sengoku grabbed it at once.

The Den Den Mushi's head gradually changed shape, becoming somewhat like Kuzan, though frost seemed to mark its face.

"Kuzan, has the Buster Call been completed?"

Sengoku did not notice that detail and asked in a deep voice.

He had opposed the World Government's Buster Call order, but only after becoming Fleet Admiral did he understand that the words of a Marine Fleet Admiral did not carry much weight.

Faced with a Buster Call order issued by the World Government, he could only obey.

"Fleet Admiral, there's been a problem. The warships carrying out the Buster Call were sunk."

Sengoku froze at those words, then finally noticed the Den Den Mushi's appearance.

"Sunk? You stepped in too? Who was it?"

Sengoku's eyes widened as he asked urgently.

"The Madman, Lin Ye!"

Kuzan said each word distinctly.

Upon hearing that name, confusion flashed through Sengoku's eyes.

The Madman Lin Ye?

Wasn't he in the latter half of the Grand Line?

Why had he suddenly appeared in the West Blue?

"Wait. You and Sakazuki are both there. Can you take him down?"

Sengoku suddenly remembered that Ohara currently had two vice admirals, both admiral candidates and Logia users.

If they could capture this man, it would be a tremendous boost to the Marines' prestige.

"Sorry, Fleet Admiral Sengoku. I would like to request reinforcements."

Kuzan's voice was somewhat helpless.

"Huh?"

Sengoku was stunned for a moment.

"Is he that strong?"

"Yes, he's very strong."

There was no hesitation in Kuzan's voice.

"I'll have Borsalino provide support."

Sengoku said grimly.

Borsalino was the only one who could arrive quickly enough to provide support.

Only if they could hold him off would the others have time to reach them.

"Alright!"

"If you cannot defeat him, delay him with everything you have."

Sengoku said in a deep voice.

"It would be best if you hurry. Sakazuki's arm was cut off."

Kuzan said.

Sengoku's heart trembled, and shock flashed through his eyes.

"I understand."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku immediately contacted Borsalino.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, what are your orders?"

Once the Den Den Mushi connected, Borsalino's lazy tone came through.

"Go support Ohara immediately. Kuzan and Sakazuki have encountered the Madman Lin Ye and are in a hard battle."

Sengoku did not waste words and went straight to the point.

"Hm?"

The Den Den Mushi went blank for quite a while.

"That can't be right. Isn't that man in the New World?"

Borsalino was clearly dazed, seemingly unable to understand the situation before him.

"Damn it! I told you to support Ohara immediately! It's in the West Blue, so get there as fast as you can!"

Sengoku roared into the Den Den Mushi.

"Alright, alright, I understand, Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

Borsalino's voice came through, and then Sengoku viciously hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Before he could even set it down, however, it rang again.

"Sengoku!"

"Commander Kong!"

Hearing that voice, Sengoku's expression turned serious.

"What is the situation in Ohara?"

Kong, who had already become the World Government's Commander-in-Chief, asked in a deep voice.

"They encountered the Madman Lin Ye. The fleet carrying out the Buster Call has been completely wiped out. Sakazuki and Kuzan are currently fighting the Madman Lin Ye."

Sengoku responded immediately.

He was not surprised that Kong knew about this matter.

After all, the World Government had also participated in this Buster Call. Or rather, the ones who issued Buster Call orders and controlled the Golden Den Den Mushi were World Government officials and the heads of Cipher Pol.

"Hm? The Madman Lin Ye?"

Kong was clearly stunned on the other end.

"Yes, that man. The one who fought Kaido in Wano Country nearly a year ago."

"How did that man get to the West Blue? Never mind, that isn't important. Can he be captured?"

Sure enough, after learning the news, Kong was also concerned with whether Lin Ye could be captured.

"I have already sent Borsalino as support, but I cannot guarantee whether we can capture him. Sakazuki has already been injured."

"Capture him with all your strength. Dispatch reinforcements immediately. Any top-tier combat power nearby is to rush over at once. You must take him down."

Kong's tone was extremely resolute.

"Commander Kong, this..."

Sengoku was stunned.

"Our analysis indicates that Lin Ye is far more dangerous than the others. This man once appeared in Loguetown and witnessed Roger's execution.

Only afterward did he join Moonlight Moria's pirate crew. In one year—just one year—he grew from a rookie pirate to this extent."

Kong's voice was extremely stern.

Sengoku's eyes widened more and more at those words.

"Now do you understand how dangerous he is? He must be captured as soon as possible, or even killed."

"I understand."

Sengoku stood up as he spoke into the Den Den Mushi.

"Carry out the capture with all your strength."

Kong left behind those words before hanging up the Den Den Mushi.

Sengoku set down the Den Den Mushi, his expression turning grave.

If Commander Kong was telling the truth, then this was extremely dangerous.

He knew about the World Government's spy agencies. They possessed much information that the Marines did not have.

Since they valued this so highly, it was most likely true.

Sengoku immediately contacted the Marines in the West Blue. Unfortunately, apart from Sakazuki and Kuzan, there were no other top-tier combat forces in the West Blue this time.

There wasn't enough time!

Unless the battle lasted more than ten days, or even longer, no one else could make it there in time.

But could three Logia users really not take down this man?

With that thought, Sengoku directly contacted Garp.

"Cough, cough. Sengoku, do you need something?"

Garp's voice came from the Den Den Mushi, but after working alongside him for so many years, Sengoku keenly sensed that Garp seemed to be feeling guilty.

"Garp, what the hell are you doing?"

"Nothing. I'm not doing anything."

Garp answered immediately.

The more he said that, the more certain Sengoku was that he was hiding something. But Sengoku could not be bothered with that right now.

"Garp, listen to me. I need you to get to the West Blue as fast as possible. The Madman Lin Ye has appeared in the West Blue."
