The Fish-Man of the Sun Pirates, with their unique advantages, ventured out across the New World to search for clues about the lanternfish.
Fisher Tiger personally led the team, guiding Aladdin and the others deep into the various seas of the New World.
Roy is searching with all his might for the lanternfish Sea Kings he's looking for.
However, such a large-scale operation could not possibly go unnoticed by other forces.
The Whitebeard Pirates were the first to notice something was amiss.
Marco stood on the deck of the Moby Dick, his brow furrowed as he watched the fleeting Fish-Man figure on the distant sea.
" Pops, the Sun Pirates have been quite active lately."
What are they looking for?
Whitebeard sat on the deck, holding a huge wine bowl, and took a sip.
"Gurrah... who cares what they're looking for."
"As long as they don't provoke us, let them be."
Marco nodded.
"Too."
But then he added,
"But Pops, what exactly is Roy looking for?"
"For the Sun Pirates, it must be no small matter."
Whitebeard paused for a second, then chuckled.
Whatever it is, we'll find out sooner or later.
"Just wait."
Golden Lion Shiki's Flying Pirates also noticed something amiss.
"Hehehehe! What's that kid Roy looking for?"
The Golden Lion sat on the floating island, legs crossed, toying with the cigar in his hand.
" Indigo, go check it out."
"Let's see what that kid is up to."
Indigo nodded and turned to leave.
New World, Totto Land.
On Whole Cake Island, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin is enjoying a delicious dessert.
Her eldest son, Perospero, stood respectfully to one side.
"Mom, breaking news."
The Fish-Man of the Roy Pirates are searching for lanternfish all over the New World.
Big Mom stopped what she was doing, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.
"Glowfish?"
She chewed on her dessert, speaking indistinctly.
What's so special about that fish?
Perospero shook his head. "I don't know."
"But Roy's search is so elaborate, it can't be simple."
Big Mom was silent for a moment, then grinned.
"Interesting."
"If we find anything good, we can't let it slip by."
Perospero nodded. "Yes, Mom."
Kaido more direct.
He dialed Roy's number directly.
Blub Blub... Blub Blub...
Roy answered the phone,
"Hello?"
Kaido's gruff voice came from the other end.
Roy! What have you been looking for lately?
"Those Fish-Man are running rampant everywhere, they're almost in my territory!"
Roy frowned.
" Kaido, how did you know?"
Kaido snorted.
"Nonsense! With that much noise, only a blind person wouldn't see it!"
"Tell me quickly, what are you looking for?"
Roy paused for a second,
"A lanternfish."
Kaido was taken aback.
"Glowfish?"
"Why are you looking for that little fish?"
Roy said calmly,
"This is not an ordinary lanternfish."
"It was a lanternfish Sea Kings that swallowed an entire country two hundred years ago."
Kaido was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone.
Then, a burst of wild laughter rang out.
"Hehehehe!"
" Roy! What do you want with that lanternfish?"
"Could there be something good inside its belly?"
Roy did not answer.
You'll find out then.
"So mysterious."
Kaido snorted.
"Okay, let me know if you need any help."
"I'll have Jhin and the others cooperate with you."
Roy said,
Thank you.
The call ended.
Roy turned his chair around, gazing at the distant sea, his brow slightly furrowed.
The actions of the Sun Pirates have indeed attracted the attention of major powers.
Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, Golden Lion...
Despite the Fish-Man Race's unique advantage in the sea, none of them have been captured yet.
But if this continues, it will be exposed sooner or later.
"Looks like it's time to tell Fisher Tiger and the others to keep a low profile."
Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
In the office of the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, a piece of intelligence was laid out on the table.
Sengoku frowned as he looked at the intelligence report.
" Roy Pirates... Sun Pirates... Searching for Lanternfish..."
He muttered to himself,
"What exactly is that kid looking for?"
At that moment, the office door was pushed open.
Garp strode in.
" Sengoku, I've heard news about that kid Roy?"
Sengoku nodded.
"Um."
"His Sun Pirates, have been active in the New World lately, seemingly searching for something."
"A lanternfish."
Garp raised an eyebrow.
"Glowfish?"
"What's so great about finding that thing?"
The Sengoku shook its head.
"Have no idea."
"But something that can make that kid so interested must be something special."
Vice Admiral Tsuru, standing to the side, looked at the report in his hand, his brows furrowed.
"Glowfish?"
As if he had just thought of something, Vice Admiral Tsuru immediately ordered a soldier to retrieve a document from the Navy's archives.
Sengoku and Garp noticed Tsuru's strange behavior and both turned to look.
" Tsuru! Have you discovered something?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru ignored the two of them and quietly finished reviewing the documents in her hands. However, as she read through them, Tsuru's brows furrowed tightly.
" Sengoku! Garp!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru put down the documents in his hand and looked at the two men with a serious expression.
" Roy wants to live forever!"
"What?"
"That lanternfish can grant immortality!"
The crane shook its head.
To be precise, it's the ' Pure Gold ' inside this lanternfish's body.
Crane handed the documents to Sengoku.
"When Pure Gold was first discovered, the World Government also considered it."
"But later, the island was swallowed by a Sea Kings, an anglerfish, and the Pure Gold disappeared."
"If Roy is looking for that lanternfish..."
Garp's expression turned serious.
"That kid wants to live forever?"
After reviewing the documents in his hand, Sengoku's expression gradually darkened.
"Whatever his intentions, this matter must be reported to the Five Elders."
He picked up the Den Den Mushi and dialed a special number.
Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle.
In the Five Elders ' conference room, five figures sat around a round table.
Sengoku's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.
"Your Excellency, the Five Elders, have an important report to make."
Saint Saturn opened his eyes.
"Explain."
Sengoku Road
" The Sun Pirates, under the Roy Pirates, have recently been active in the New World, searching for a lanternfish."
"It's suspected to be the one that swallowed the ' Pure Gold ' back then."
The Five Elders ' eyes sharpened simultaneously.
Pure Gold...
That thing that can grant immortality...
Saint Saturn said in a deep voice,
" Sengoku, are you sure?"
Sengoku Road
"Uncertain."
"But according to intelligence analysis, it's highly likely."
"Otherwise, Roy wouldn't have allowed the Fish-Man Race to wage such a large-scale war."
The Five Elders fell silent.
a long time--
Saint Saturn slowly opened his mouth,
"Knew."
"Continue to monitor the situation and report any new developments immediately."
"Yes!"
