The World Conference / Wapol

This made the animals on the island, who were used to the sounds of clashing weapons, feel quite uncomfortable.

But after hearing it so many times, I gradually got used to it.

Chapter 64 Reverie

Marine Headquarters.

Fleet Admiral's Office.

Sengoku looked at the document in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"What exactly is Hawk Eyes up to? He's been wandering the waters outside the Drum Kingdom for four whole months."

He opened another document, and there it was news about Kuta and his gang.

His eyes lit up when he saw the secretly taken photos sent by the World Government.

"This guy has finally shown up."

They'd been missing for so long without a single word; he'd almost thought the Silver Hair Crew had been suddenly wiped out by something!

However, this was just wishful thinking on his part. When he saw news about the Silver Hair Crew again, he felt a sudden sense of relief.

It's best to keep enemies, especially powerful ones, in sight.

The navy is not afraid of enemies in the open; what it fears most are those who are strong but like to hide their true strength.

Just like the Golden Lion before, it made the Navy live in constant fear, afraid that this guy would suddenly fly over and invade the Marine Headquarters and its various branches.

This may sound unbelievable, but it truly reflects their feelings.

Given Kuta's combat strength, which rivals that of an Admiral, the navy remained on high alert for quite some time after he disappeared.

This is similar to the disappearance of the Four Emperors in the New World; they will have to be on guard for a long time as well.

This is the deterrent effect that a world-class powerhouse can exert on his hostile forces.

Therefore, each of the Four Emperors' crews not only has a large number of spies from the Navy and the World Government on the outside, but also a considerable number of undercover agents on the inside.

Of course, this excludes Pirates crews with small numbers of members, like Red-Hair and Kuta.

Even if the Navy and the World Government wanted to send spies into their Pirates crews, they couldn't, unless they took in a large number of affiliated Pirates crews like the other Four Emperors' crews, then they wouldn't be able to send spies in.

He glanced at the message about the Silver Hair Crew, paused slightly, then turned to look at Hawk Eyes's message again, muttering, "So you were waiting for the Silver Hair!"

He had always wondered why Hawk Eyes, though he would occasionally travel the Grand Line when he had nothing to do, never stayed in one place for so long!

Now that I've seen news about the Silver Hair Crew, and considering the timing of Hawk Eyes's appearance near the Drum Kingdom, everything makes sense.

He shook his head, closed the two documents on the table, and handed them to a white goat next to his chair.

The goat's sleepy eyes lit up as it looked at the document that Zhan Sengoku handed it. It raised its head, snatched the document in its mouth, and began to eat it with relish.

Whether it was raised in the Sengoku period from a young age, or paper really is that delicious, this little Little Goat is now inseparable from Sengoku documents.

Sengoku patted the Little Goat's head, smiled, then looked up at another document, his expression turning serious.

He knew what was inside without even looking.

The above lists the addresses of the various Affiliated Nation of the World Government.

Soon, the World Government Conference, held every four years, will be held in Holy Land Mary Geoise.

Their entire navy will be deployed to escort the kings of these Affiliated Nation.

This period was also the time when Pirates were most active in various seas, and even on the Grand Line.

Every year, a large number of fearless Pirates attack escort convoys in hopes of making a name for themselves.

The thought of this gave him a headache.

Their navy is truly a brick in the World Government's arsenal; they're moved wherever they're needed.

He looked at the folder, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.

"Let's think about it and have those people escort them!"

Just as the navy was operating on a large scale for the World Government Conference.

Kuta and his crew have been away from Little Garden for a day.

During this day, they encountered many seagulls that appeared to be aerial surveillance. These seagulls were likely either from the World Economy News Paper or the World Government, or perhaps both.

He paid little attention to this surveillance.

Given how much the World Government values them, it would be strange if they weren't being monitored!

By now, news of his reappearance should have reached the World Government and the Marine Headquarters Fleet Admiral's Office!

Kuta stared ahead, stroking his chin, lost in thought.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't we be at the World Government's Reverie, which takes place every four years?"

He remembered, it must have been recently!

Four years ago, he saw news about the Reverie, but the newspapers didn't specify the exact date, so he didn't know about it.

Picking up the teacup beside him, Kuta turned to his left, where Indigo was also reclining on a deck chair, and chuckled, "Doctor Indigo, when did you become so lazy?"

Indigo sipped his tea and glanced at Kuta.

"Kalkalekale"

"After studying the Virus and plants in that Little Garden for so long, can't I even take a break?!"

"Permission, permission."

Kuta took a sip of tea, looked at Indigo, and then asked, "By the way, Indigo, do you know about the Reverie?"

"Reverie?"

Indigo put down his teacup, sat up straight, and smiled at Kuta, "Captain, you didn't show up just to make Big News Morgans, did you?"

"Without..."

Kuta waved his hand and said, "I just want to know the exact time. There's someone I want to kill. I don't want to be late and miss him, or he'll get away."

The guy he was referring to was "Wapol," the king of the Drum Kingdom.

This guy is such an idiot. As the king of a country, instead of focusing on the economy and development, he drove all the doctors out of the country, turning a once-renowned medical power into a backward nation where access to healthcare is incredibly difficult.

Why does Sora hate this guy so much?

Of course it's because this guy isn't fit to be the king of a country!

This guy can be said to be the complete opposite of Bada from the Bass Kingdom.

He originally intended to go directly to "Alabasta," but upon seeing Bada, he couldn't help but think of that guy.

Just thinking about that guy makes me want to kill him.

So he asked Bada for two Eternal Pose, one of which belonged to the Drum Kingdom.

Since I'm going to see Chopper anyway, I might as well kill this guy while I'm at it, so the Civilians of the Drum Kingdom won't suffer as much.

Isn't that right?

Who told him to be a "Partners of Justice"!

Seeing that Kuta didn't seem to be planning anything big, Indigo's initial excitement instantly subsided. He lay back in his recliner, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Based on the timing of the previous Reverie, if the dates haven't changed, it should be in the next few days! If we're lucky, the guy you're trying to kill should still be in his country."

To Indigo, killing a king was a trivial matter.

So he wasn't excited; on the contrary, he felt a little cheapened.

The Silver Hair Pirates' total bounty at this time has reached an astonishing 2.35 billion Beli!

The Silver Hair was even hailed as the fifth emperor of the Sea.

For a Pirates crew as large as theirs to go and kill the king of a small country, what is that if not beneath their dignity?

Chapter 65 Wapol

Kuta immediately understood Indigo's thoughts and rolled his eyes at Indigo.

So what if it's a small country?

Wasn't their king a great man?

It seems everyone on board has gotten too cocky!

They've become so arrogant that killing a country's king is considered a trivial matter.

Kuta sipped his tea, then turned to look at Kuina on the recliner next to him, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

The one who has made the most progress in the past few months is not Ahua, nor A-Luo, nor even A-Tao just ate the Devil Fruit, but Kuina.

In the past few months, Kuina has not only fully mastered all the power-manipulation techniques of the Great Swordsman.

This elevates Observation Haki to a whole new level.

It's important to know that Observation Haki is a much harder ability to improve than Armament Haki.

Given Kuina's current level of Armament Haki and Observation Haki, an average Marine Vice Admiral would be no match for her.

To fight her, one would need to be at least on par with Onigumo or Momonga.

Moreover, even Elite Vice Admiral like this might not be able to defeat Kuina.

To secure a victory, one would probably need a top-tier Armament Haki user like Melason.

Therefore, her current strength should be sufficient to hold her own against Admiral, rather than being easily killed.

"What's wrong?"

Kuina turned her gaze away from the newspaper and looked up at Kuta.

The absence of them in recent months hasn't diminished the news on the Sea; on the contrary, the actions of the Four Emperors of the New World have generated plenty of Big News Morgans.

For example, the news that Kaido committed suicide again, and in doing so, completely crushed the Supernovas of the year.

Anyone who knows this guy's personality can tell at a glance that he's actually specifically looking for these Supernovas.

If he were truly bored, he would go to the other Four Emperors' crews or the Navy to find real strong fighters to battle, rather than committing suicide in such a comical way as jumping off a plane thousands of meters high.

Don't let Kaido's tall and muscular appearance fool you into thinking he only knows how to use his fists.

In fact, this guy is a meticulous and cunning true Pirates.

Everything in Wano Country is this guy's doing.

Another major event is that last year's super rookie, "Fire Fist Ace," finally joined the Whitebeard Pirates after challenging Whitebeard for several months, and immediately became the captain of the second division.

Apart from these two incidents, the news of the past few months has been minor news to them.

"Fine."

Kuta smiled and reached out to ruffle Kuina's hair, "It's just that you seem to have gotten a tan these past few months."

"Oh!"

Kuina put down her newspaper, glanced at the color of her arm, then looked up at the gentle gaze Kuta, her eyes crinkling into crescent shapes, and smiled.

Don't you like it?

"I love you, no matter what you become."

Kuta quickly replied.

Although they were all tanned, Kuina's skin wasn't as dark as Robin's, who had spent several years in the desert. Instead, it had a fleshy yellow hue, which gave her a healthier beauty than her original fair skin.

"If you like it, that's good."

Kuina's lips curled up as she looked up at the sky. "It looks like it's snowing."

As she spoke, she reached out and caught a Snowflake that was falling from the sky.

But before he could see clearly, the Snowflake melted in her hand.

Just then, A-Luo's voice came from the lookout tower above.
