Doctor Shocked, Roya Disappears

Dragging Weevil's hill-like body along.

Roya arrived on the deck of Noah's Ark.

He had to admit, Noah's Ark was simply enormous. Just standing on its deck, everything within sight was part of Noah's Ark's hull.

The moment the two of them stepped onto Noah's Ark.

The island below instantly collapsed.

The entire island was swallowed by the ocean.

The waves surged and churned, forming a massive whirlpool.

Without lingering any longer.

Roya used the power of the talismans to fly toward Ohara.

By now, Weevil could be called a war machine.

And an exceptionally powerful war machine at that. Roya could ensure that he would remain loyal to him forever.

So, he planned to send Weevil to Ohara.

After all, Ohara was still under Marine surveillance.

Roya even felt that before long, if the Marines failed to uncover anything.

They would definitely launch another attack.

As long as he was there, it was manageable.

Even if he was absent, Weevil would be there.

That was enough to handle many situations!

While Roya headed toward Ohara, Kalifa and the others had already sailed their warship into Marineford.

Marineford had long since assembled its best medical team. The instant the warship docked, they carried out a series of examinations on Zephyr.

When they saw that Zephyr had suffered such severe injuries yet was not in mortal danger, they were utterly astonished.

"Lady Kalifa, what exactly happened to Lord Zephyr? His vital signs are only weak, but there are no critical symptoms at all. This is simply unbelievable!"

As time passed, the medical team discovered that many of the Marine trainees were in the same condition.

This showed that, before they arrived, someone with extraordinary medical skills had treated them.

Moreover, the treatment methods were something they had never heard of.

Kalifa merely said flatly, "Admiral White Dove treated them when they were injured."

"What? Admiral White Dove actually possesses such incredible medical skills?!"

"This level of medicine has already far surpassed ours!"

"This is a miracle! A miracle!"

At that moment, after checking on Zephyr, Sengoku came before Kalifa.

"Kalifa, where is White Dove?"

"When we left, White Dove was fighting Whitebeard Jr. The island was already close to collapsing then. He told me to escort Zephyr and the others back first, so they could receive better treatment, stabilize their condition, and avoid any lasting effects. I... I chose to believe in Roya!"

In the end, Kalifa called him Roya!

Seeing Kalifa's delicate hands clenched tightly, her lower lip lightly bitten, and her brows slightly furrowed, Sengoku's heart sank. "I believe in White Dove too. He must have been confident before saying something like that. We may receive news in a few days. Besides, I'll send investigators to look into it as well, so don't worry."

"Mm!"

Kalifa nodded, then took a Den Den Mushi from her pocket.

This Den Den Mushi was Roya's exclusive Admiral Den Den Mushi.

But because he had rushed off to help, Roya had not brought it with him. In other words, they had no way to contact him at all!

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, three days went by.

During those three days, Kalifa had barely slept. She spent nearly every moment in Sengoku's office, wanting to learn any news of Roya at the earliest possible moment.

"Buru buru~"

The sound of a Den Den Mushi rang out in Sengoku's office.

Kalifa immediately rushed to the desk and stared expectantly at the Den Den Mushi, hoping to hear good news about Roya.

Sengoku did not hesitate and immediately answered the Den Den Mushi.

The voice of an intelligence agent came through. "Reporting to the Fleet Admiral, we searched the designated coordinates for an entire day, but found no trace of any island. The island seems to have vanished into thin air."

Hearing the agent's report, Sengoku's heart sank. They could not find the island even at the designated coordinates. Did that mean it had already sunk into the sea?!

Sure enough, when Kalifa heard the news.

Her vision went dark.

Nearly fainting, Kalifa weakly sat down on the sofa.

She muttered, "Impossible. This is absolutely impossible! Nothing could have happened to Roya! Roya is so strong. No matter how powerful Whitebeard Jr. is, he couldn't possibly defeat Roya!"

At that thought, intense resentment flashed through Kalifa's eyes.

That resentment was directed at herself. If only she had been stronger back then, she could have helped Roya!

Strength!

She needed even greater strength!

With that thought, Kalifa decided to make use of her time.

She believed that nothing would happen to Roya!

But she would not keep waiting here either.

She would seize every opportunity to make herself stronger.

"Fleet Admiral, I heard that the Special Intelligence Department competition will be held soon. I want to register!"

Sengoku froze for a moment, but quickly understood. He nodded and said, "I'll register you. Also, if there's any news about Roya, I'll inform you immediately."

Kalifa said, "Sorry for the trouble, Fleet Admiral."

With that, Kalifa walked out of Sengoku's office.

The moment she stepped outside, she saw a woman with beautiful pink hair.

"Kalifa, Hina came to find you."

Hina spoke to Kalifa.

Kalifa raised her clear, watery eyes. There was almost no emotion in them as she softly said to Hina, "Hina, if you came to ask where Roya is, I don't know either. I'm waiting for him to return!"

With that, Kalifa walked past Hina.

Then she heard Hina say, "Hina also believes that nothing will happen to Roya, because Hina believes in him too. It's just that Hina feels very uncomfortable right now. Hina heard you were in the Fleet Admiral's office, so Hina came to invite you to fight at the training grounds!"

A glint flashed through Kalifa's eyes.

The corners of her lips lifted slightly as she immediately said to Hina, "Let's go to the training grounds. I need a fight to ease my mood too!"

Elsewhere, Roya sat on the edge of the ship, looking down at the drifting clouds below.

At this point, Roya also realized that he had not brought a Den Den Mushi.

After all, he had never been in the habit of carrying one around.

He usually left it on the warship, or had Kalifa carry it for him.

With a sigh, Roya murmured, "To keep Kalifa from worrying and Sengoku from becoming suspicious, I should hurry to Ohara and drop Weevil off!"

With that thought, Roya immediately adjusted the talismans' power to maximum output.

The massive Noah's Ark sped toward Ohara like an airship...
