"Sir, an urgent call from Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
Ryan shouted as he stepped over the rubble on the ground and held the incessantly ringing Den Den Mushi out to Lorne.
"What does old man Sengoku want at a time like this?"
Lorne took the Den Den Mushi and pressed the answer button.
The Den Den Mushi immediately opened its mouth, and Sengoku's voice came through, anxious and grave.
"Lorne, are you on Fish-Man Island right now?"
"That's right. I just finished sparring with Jinbe and was about to have a good meal."
Lorne answered casually.
"You little brat, you're still thinking about food!"
On the other end, Sengoku slammed his desk so hard that his voice made even the Den Den Mushi tremble.
"Do you have any idea that you've become the center of a storm in the New World?"
"Oh, those two couldn't sit still anymore?"
Lorne raised an eyebrow.
"It's far worse than that!"
Sengoku spoke in a low voice.
"Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin have reached some sort of understanding. According to our informants planted in the New World, 'Drought' Jack and the elite forces of the Beasts Pirates have already joined up with the Big Mom Pirates' Sweet Commander fleet."
"Where are they now?"
Lorne asked.
"In the waters every ship must pass through to reach the New World from Fish-Man Island, near an island called Mobicol!"
Sengoku's tone was grave.
"The two fleets have sealed off those waters completely. Not even a News Coo could fly through. They have only one target: you, Lorne!"
As Lorne listened to Sengoku, not a trace of panic appeared on his face. Instead, keen interest spread across it.
"Looks like they were very pleased with the 'gifts' I sent them."
Lorne laughed.
"Stop grinning at me!"
Sengoku
