When Lucci heard the words "Dawn-and-Dusk Bird,"
his pupils contracted sharply.
As a member of the special intelligence organization CP9,
Lucci knew more than an ordinary Marine.
It came down to one thing: Dawn-and-Dusk Bird was not to be messed with!
Fortunately, the Fleet Admiral had only ordered him to observe.
"Yes, Fleet Admiral."
After hanging up, Lucci's expression turned grim.
He told the others, "Change of mission. Observe the Dawn-and-Dusk Bird Organization!"
The appearance of Dawn-and-Dusk Bird was like a gale,
stirring up towering waves across the sea!
"Hey, did you hear? Zero took his people to Water City!"
"Water City?! Isn't that where they build ships?"
"What are they doing there? And why make such a show of it?"
"It's an outright declaration of war!"
Out at sea,
the News Coo kept diligently delivering newspapers.
Pirates and bounty hunters near Water City
secretly made their way there after hearing the news.
They wanted to join this powerful organization too!
After all, Admiral White Dove was known as the strongest and youngest Admiral since the Marines' founding!
His future had seemed limitless.
Yet even an Admiral like him had been unable to do anything about Zero.
Then Zero had sunk an island with a single slash.
Countless admirers had hailed him as a legend!
And so,
without anyone quite noticing, an air of legend had grown around Zero.
It drew countless people who wanted to join his organization.
As for the gathering of so many Pirates and bounty hunters,
Roya paid it no mind.
Noah's Ark descended from the sky
and arrived before Water City.
Compared with Noah's Ark, Water City did not look all that large.
The group, clad in cloaks, slowly floated down from Noah's Ark.
Just then, an electronic voice sounded in Roya's mind.
