The World Is Stunned: A New Pirate King?

"Sabo, how are things on your end?"

After leaving G-1 Base, Mislanda immediately contacted Sabo through a Den Den Mushi.

Lunarian blood—that was his real objective!

With King's blood, he could create more Devil Descendants.

"Don't worry, teacher. We've collected plenty of blood from King, the Flame Calamity, and we're heading back to the Golden City now!"

"Oh, and we cleaned out Onigashima's treasury. We found quite a few good things, including a Poneglyph. It's a little strange, though—it's red!"

Red!

A Red Road Poneglyph!

Of the four Red Road Poneglyphs, three were on Zou Island, Cake Island, and Onigashima.

Mislanda had taken the one on Cake Island when he attacked with the Devil Descendants. Now Sabo had seized the one Kaido held!

That left the one on Zou Island and one whose whereabouts were unknown.

Mislanda suspected the World Government had one, though.

But none of that mattered to him anymore.

The four Poneglyphs could point the way to Laugh Tale, but Mislanda already had an Eternal Pose. That saved him a great deal of trouble!

"Good. You've done well. Now hurry back!"

"Don't worry, teacher!"

With that, the call ended.

Mislanda stroked his chin and said excitedly:

"Now things are getting even more interesting!"

Before long, the newspapers announced the outcome of the battle between two of the Five Emperors.

But no one following the news was shocked by Kaido's defeat. Something far more astonishing had come to light!

An Eternal Pose—there was actually an Eternal Pose pointing to the end of the Grand Line, Laugh Tale!

Roger had become Pirate King by reaching Laugh Tale. Now Mislanda, a former Roger Pirates crew member and one of the Five Emperors, had obtained a way to reach the final island!

Was a new Pirate King about to emerge?!
