A Grand Show, the Island's Destruction

The reason Roya had White Dove's phantom meet him was simple.

Most importantly, Zero had already made a huge profit.

But White Dove needed greater fame to solidify his position.

So that when the time came to compete for the position of Fleet Admiral, he would have more leverage in hand.

And wasn't the current situation the best way to boost his reputation?

In other words, the entire Sabaody Archipelago was Roya's personal stage.

This time, Roya had struck it rich!

Both identities had obtained what they needed most!

White Dove's phantom held a Den Den Mushi as he contacted Sengoku.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I've caught up to Zero."

Sengoku frowned upon hearing White Dove's words. "Then where are those two, Kizaru and Akainu?!"

"They've been held up by at least ten great Pirates at the auction house. They probably won't be able to get away anytime soon."

At this point, Sengoku had no room left for hesitation. He could only say to White Dove, "Are you sure you can handle this, White Dove?"

"Rest assured, Fleet Admiral Sengoku! I won't fail!"

Feeling White Dove's intense confidence,

even though Sengoku had always remained wary of White Dove, he could not help but say to Roya at this moment, "White Dove, you are a hero of the Marines!"

As Sengoku's voice drifted from the Den Den Mushi,

the battle was on the verge of erupting.

White Dove's phantom promptly hung up the Den Den Mushi in his hand and charged directly at the original body.

It was called a battle, but for Roya, it was merely a grand show performed by controlling the phantom.

Under Roya's control, White Dove's phantom appeared before him.

Then, using Shigan and Armament Haki, he launched a frenzied assault.

Roya also unleashed the Perfect Eight Gates.
