Scheming

The Transponder Snails in Ryan's arms began ringing—and not just one, but two!

Taking them out, Ryan checked them. One was connected to Charlos, the other to Sabo.

After thinking it over, Ryan answered the Transponder Snail connected to Sabo first.

"Lord Ryan!" Sabo's voice rang out.

"Mm, did something happen in the Goa Kingdom?" Ryan assumed Sabo had run into a problem in the Goa Kingdom that he couldn't handle and had called him. That was why Ryan answered Sabo's call first.

"Nothing happened in the Goa Kingdom. I'm in Mary Geoise now. I just attended the Reverie, and there's something important I need to tell you." Sabo spoke at a rapid pace, explaining his purpose in one breath without pausing.

"Was the Reverie held today?" Ryan looked toward the members of the Blood Sword Pirates with an inquisitive expression. He knew about the Reverie, but he truly had no idea what date it was held on.

"Yes. The World Government holds the Reverie once every four years, on April 22," Robin explained, clearing up Ryan's confusion.

"Oh. Go on, Sabo."

"Today, Fleet Admiral Sengoku proposed a Shichibukai system, and it was approved. Jarvan and I voted in favor. The Shichibukai are—"

"Stop. You don't need to explain. I know what it is already!" Ryan directly interrupted Sabo, who was about to explain it to him. Then, suddenly recalling something, he asked, "Who is Jarvan?"

"Jarvan is the king of the Goth Kingdom. He's about the same age as me, and he really admires you too, Lord Ryan!" Sabo explained.

Jarvan. King of the Goth Kingdom. A child. He admired him.

Jarvan was the Prince of Demacia.

The Goth Kingdom was where he had slaughtered Marines in the South Blue, and he had killed its king as well.
