"Then let's set off. Ryan, arrange to have the Fearless recoated immediately." Lorne rose from the golden chair and tossed the Parchment Chart to Ryan.
"Understood, Captain. Gold City has coating craftsmen and materials ready to go. I'll take care of it now." Ryan caught the chart and strode out of the hall.
"I'll get ready too. Our opponents this time won't be easy." Kuina tightened her grip on Wado Ichimonji, her eyes brimming with eagerness for battle.
Tesoro hurriedly scrambled up from the floor, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead as he said respectfully, "Lord Lorne, Gran Tesoro has the finest coating craftsmen in the New World. I'll have them bring the best materials over immediately and guarantee that the Fearless's coating will be completed in the shortest possible time."
Lorne glanced at him and said, "Good, Tesoro. If anything goes wrong with the coating, I'll come back for you."
Tesoro shuddered and answered repeatedly, "There absolutely won't be any mistakes! I'll supervise them myself!"
Luffield also stepped forward with a fawning smile. "Lord Lorne, according to our intelligence, the World Government has mobilized almost all its covert lookouts in the New World for this scroll of Pluton Blueprints. They're determined to get their hands on this weapon."
Lorne sneered. "Determined? That depends on whether they live long enough to take it. Luffield, can the merchant guilds under your name find out which Admiral is leading them?"
Luffield shook his head and answered with some trepidation, "My lord, the World Government has imposed an extremely high level of secrecy this time. All we know is that a warship reserved for an Admiral has set sail. We still can't determine whether it's Akainu, Kizaru, or one of the two newly appointed Admirals."
"It doesn't matter which one it is.
