Bullet's face darkened; he wasn't going to tolerate them at all.
"Snort!"
Bullet snorted coldly.
"This is Captain Roy's order: everyone except those I've called upon must remain on Hachinosu to prevent any intrusion."
As soon as Bullet finished speaking, the noisy Savi and the others immediately fell silent.
They don't have the fighting power of Roy, Hawk Eyes, or Red Count.
They didn't dare to confront Bullet, after all, apart from a few female office workers, many of the people present had been beaten up by Bullet under the guise of training.
Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Bullet nodded in satisfaction.
"Anyone whose name is called, come with me."
Bullet turned and walked out of the hall, his footsteps making a buzzing sound on the stone pavement.
"The fleets of Golden Lion and Big Mom are heading towards Wano Country."
It's believed the navy will also be taking action.
Roy is Wano Country salvaging Pluton —an Ancient Weapon —offering itself to our Hachinosu. No one is allowed to touch it.
Did you all understand?
"Clear!"
He was met with a unified roar.
Under Tesoro's control, the Ark Maxim slowly rose from the port of Hachinosu, its golden hull leaving a long trail of light in the night sky.
Everyone on board was making final preparations, checking weapons, adjusting status, and confirming communication frequencies.
In Wano Country, after Roy hung up the Den Den Mushi, he casually stuffed Den Den Mushi back into his pocket.
Kaido approached Roy's side, his earlier excitement replaced by a dark, angry expression.
How was the information leaked?
"There are people from the World Government in your Beasts Pirates."
Roy's tone was as flat as if he were stating a trivial fact.
It's hard to say when they were planted.
But there's no point in dwelling on that now; the most urgent task is to get Pluton up there first.
Kaido's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
Being stabbed in the back in your own home is more infuriating than being punched in the face.
But now is definitely not the time to investigate the mole.
Roy refocused his attention on the Pluton Battleship.
The output of Telekinesis remains under control.
The massive black hull of the Pluton Battleship was rising at an astonishing speed.
Meanwhile, in the skies above the New World.
Golden Lion Shiki before his throne at the highest point of the floating Sky Island, with his most elite Flying Pirates behind him.
Dozens of floating Sky Island formed a massive flying fleet, which was advancing towards Wano Country at top speed.
"Hehehehe! Pluton! Pluton!"
The Golden Lion's face was contorted with laughter, and the ship's rudder above its head whistled sharply in the wind.
"Once I get Pluton, the first thing I'll do is raze the Marine Headquarters to the ground!"
Let that old geezer from the Sengoku see who the true master of this sea is!
His men then burst into wild laughter.
Hundreds of nautical miles behind the Golden Lion Fleet, Big Mom's Totto Land Fleet was speeding across the sea.
Perospero stood at the bow of the flagship, licking his lollipop cane, looking at the horizon through binoculars, a confident smile on his lips.
Katakuri stood behind him, arms crossed, his expression as calm as ever.
But his tightly clenched arms betrayed his turbulent emotions.
Further out on the horizon, a Marine warship is discreetly sailing at full speed in the same direction.
Garp stood at the bow of the foremost warship, his hands in his pockets, his expression unusually serious.
Behind him, Zephyr was finalizing tactics with Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji.
Meanwhile, off the coast of Wano Country, the dark hull of the Pluton Battleship has begun to emerge from the water.
The sea surface churned violently, with countless bubbles rising from the deep water and bursting into white sprays on the surface.
Then, giant waves parted from both sides, and for the first time, the enormous, suffocatingly large black hull of the Pluton Battleship was fully revealed in the sunlight.
Meanwhile, Golden Lion Shiki's air fleet had already entered Wano Country's airspace.
"Hahaha! I made it!"
The Golden Lion stood on the edge of the floating Sky Island, his eyes fixed on the black warship that was slowly emerging from the water in the distance.
His laughter was shrill and manic, making the surrounding clouds tremble.
"That's Pluton! He's mine!"
With a wave of his hand, dozens of floating Sky Island behind him accelerated simultaneously, rushing towards the direction of the Pluton Battleship.
Meanwhile, dozens of nautical miles away, the lookouts of Big Mom's fleet also spotted the Golden Lion's fleet.
"Lord Perospero! The Golden Lion Fleet has been spotted ahead! They are heading in the same direction!"
Perospero put down his binoculars, licked his lollipop, and his smile turned cold.
"As expected, it's that old codger."
Instruct all ships to proceed at full speed.
We can't let the Golden Lion get there first.
Katakuri stood beside him, his brows slightly furrowed.
His Observation Haki detected an extremely strong life force gathering in the sea ahead, not only from Golden Lion, but also from Kaido.
The waters near Wano Country are turning into a powder keg about to explode.
Meanwhile, on the distant sea, a Marine warship was cutting through the waves at top speed.
Garp stood at the bow of the ship, his hands in his pockets, the sea breeze making his justice cape flutter.
He gazed at the enormous, faintly visible shadow on the distant horizon, a complex emotion flickering deep within his eyes.
"That guy from the Sengoku has really found us a good job this time."
Zephyr walked to his side, his expression equally solemn.
"If Pluton truly falls into the hands of pirates, the world order will be completely altered. We must stop it."
"Know."
Garp rubbed his hair and, unusually, sighed.
"I wonder how many people will die on that sea this time."
Akainu walked past him, his tone as cold and hard as ever.
"Sacrifice is necessary."
"Any price is worth paying if Pluton is destroyed."
Kizaru, unusually, didn't respond. He simply squinted at the distance, his usual lazy smile completely gone.
Aokiji leaned against the ship's railing, his eyes half-open, and muttered something softly.
"This is such a hassle."
Meanwhile, Ark Maxim were flying at high speed above the clouds.
Bullet stood at the bow of the ship, arms crossed, his short, purplish-gray hair standing on end in the wind high above.
His White Tiger Model was already stirring within him, with black and white tiger stripes faintly appearing on his skin.
Tesoro hovered behind him, the lightning around him more active than usual, golden arcs of electricity constantly dancing at his fingertips.
He held Den Den Mushi in his hand, trying to contact Roy again and again.
Hawk Eyes leaned against the mast, Black Blade Yoru lay across his lap, his golden eyes fixed on the ever-approaching coastline of Wano Country.
His hand unconsciously stroked the rope wrapped around the hilt of his sword, a little habit he had before entering battle.
Crocodile, a cigar dangling from his lips, leaned against the ship's railing, seemingly casually adjusting the barbs on his Golden Hook.
The Kuma and Kyros remained as calm as ever.
Only Moria and Lucci had intense fighting spirit burning in their eyes.
Bullet glanced back at everyone on the deck, all ready to go, and a slow, wide smile spread across his face.
"Everyone, get your act together! Anyone who slacks off in this battle will have to go back and train for three months straight!"
He was met with a chorus of laughter and curses.
Ark Maxim tore through the clouds amidst laughter, heading towards Wano Country.
They flew at full speed toward the sea that would soon be stained red with gunfire and blood.
Meanwhile, off the coast of Wano Country, the Pluton Battleship had fully surfaced.
The jet-black hull reflected a cold light in the sunlight, and the exaggeratedly large main cannon pointed straight to the sky, as if announcing its awakening to the whole world.
Kaido stood on the deck of Pluton, looked up at the main cannon, and let out a deafening laugh.
"Hehehehe! Pluton! My Pluton!"
Roy didn't laugh.
His Observation Haki spread out, his perception covering the entire coastal waters of Wano Country. In his perception, several extremely powerful auras were approaching from different directions.
Golden Lion.
Big Mom's fleet.
And also -- the Navy.
His lips curled slightly upward, but there was no hint of a smile in his eyes.
"It seems we're in for a major battle."
