Inside the Marine Base across the sea from Whole Cake Island.
Sensing Charlotte Linlin's furious aura from the island, and faintly hearing the name Sakazuki drift over,
Zephyr and Garp both wore odd expressions.
Good grief...
What had Sakazuki done this time to get her so worked up...?
Garp chewed on a doughnut.
"Looks like we'll have a big battle on our hands soon."
"You arrived just in time."
The corners of Zephyr's mouth rose, and his blood stirred with an excitement he hadn't felt in a long time.
"Yeah..."
In the New World, on Whole Cake Island.
The eyeball specimen clutched in Charlotte Linlin's hand shattered under her grip, bursting into powder.
"That damned brat!!!!"
"She didn't awaken for all those years! Yet she awakened as soon as the Marines captured her!!!"
"Was I too good to her all these years?!!!!"
Boom-
Her raging Conqueror's Haki destroyed everything around her. Charlotte Linlin was nearly mad with fury...
Once members of the Three-Eye Tribe awakened, they could decipher Poneglyphs.
Pudding was currently the only member of the Three-Eye Tribe on the seas. Her failure to awaken over the years had been disappointing.
But there had still been a glimmer of hope-the only hope.
And now she'd awakened after just a few months in Marine custody?
What was that supposed to mean?
Was she deliberately defying her?
"Damn it! Aaaah!!!"
Charlotte Linlin was terrifying in her rage.
"Someone!!!"
"Organize an attack!"
"Kill every last one of those Marines!!!"
She was furious beyond words, but retained a sliver of reason as she ordered her trembling subordinates,
"Contact Kaido!!!"
"Tell him to come help! Whatever his conditions are, I'll accept them!!!"
She wanted to slaughter all the Marines facing off against Whole Cake Island, but that old bastard Garp simply wouldn't die...
