"Summon all Vice Admiral and above immediately; I need to hold a meeting."
Upon hearing that the Straw Hat Pirates had found the legendary Laugh Tale, Sakazuki nearly smashed his office desk to pieces.
The heavy mood he had just felt after seeing off Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru instantly vanished. He was indeed, as Fleet Admiral Sengoku had said, a pure naval officer.
Sakazuki's spirits lifted again. Although the Straw Hat Pirates became the Pirate King during his tenure, it was also an opportunity for him.
If he could capture and execute the Pirate King like he did when Kong was in power, his prestige within the Navy would instantly reach its peak.
He would then have a reason to confront the Marine Admiral sent by the World Government, but just thinking about their attitudes made Sakazuki's face darken.
"Hmph, don't think you can look down on me just because you're Celestial Dragons. You should know that even among the so-called Admiral, there are varying degrees of strength."
Sakazuki clenched his fist, but the molten lava didn't drip out; instead, he controlled it in his palm. In addition to a hint of helplessness, there was also a barely perceptible killing intent in Sakazuki's eyes.
Meanwhile, after a long voyage, at Molly's suggestion, the Straw Hat Pirates did not disembark for supplies.
They drove at full speed, shortening the journey that would normally take three months by a full month.
When Laugh Tale saw Luffy, the Laugh Tale, he was so excited that he couldn't contain himself and even shed tears.
"Hahaha, I've finally found this place, Laugh Tale! My dream has finally come true! I've become the Pirate King!"
While Luffy was excited, he was unaware that there was someone even more excited than him: Big News Morgans.
At Lin Yuan's behest, he also came here and has been following the Straw Hat Pirates, even at the cost of exposing himself.
"Congratulations to Captain Straw Hat on becoming the Pirate King! I will share this news with the whole world so that everyone can celebrate this important moment together."
Luffy looked at Big News Morgans and the News Coo with surprise, but then burst into laughter.
"Haha, that's really troublesome, thank you very much."
Seeing Luffy's nonchalant thanks, Zoro and the others stared at Luffy with exasperated expressions.
However, through Lawrence's introduction, they learned that the birdman in front of them was the editor-in-chief of the World Economy News Paper, just a guy who was fanatically chasing Big News Morgans.
So everyone's wariness disappeared, and Big News Morgans gave them more screen time.
Big News Morgans naturally accepted this offer, and through friendly cooperation, some photos and videos were quickly transmitted to the world via special channels.
As the captain, Luffy was naturally the first to set foot on Laugh Tale, and the Straw Hat Pirates cheered when he stepped onto that land.
"Hahaha, I finally fulfilled my dream, hahaha!"
Luffy across the beach of Laugh Tale, letting his joy run free.
However, while the Straw Hat Pirates were happy for Luffy, half of them had strange expressions on their faces.
Zoro, Sanji, Molly, and Lawrence —they all know some secrets that are unknown to others.
However, Luffy has fortunately arrived at his dream island, and with Big News Morgans ' report, who can still say that Luffy isn't the new Pirate King?
At this moment, they wouldn't disturb Luffy. Zoro looked at Luffy, gripping the Kitetsu tightly in his hand, his eyes sharpening.
"It seems I'll have to participate in the final battle as well. Only in the face of life and death can I grow rapidly. I must obtain the Shodai Kitetsu."
Just then, Molly looked at Zoro with a puzzled expression.
" Zoro, what are you thinking about?"
"Hehe, I was thinking that now that Luffy has achieved his dream, it's time for me to pursue mine too."
Sanji's expression changed as he recalled Zoro's words from back then.
" Zoro, let's go check out the island. Now that we're here, we should see everything before we leave."
The others understood the implication in their words, but said nothing; they seemed to have anticipated this day.
" Zoro, and everyone else, let's go up there together!"
Just then, Luffy's voice came from afar. The group exchanged glances, then laughed and jumped off the ship, except for Lawrence, who remained motionless.
" Lawrence, what are you doing? Let's get going!"
Fisher immediately exclaimed, a smile also appearing on his face. This was the island where the Pirate King Roger reigned supreme; he wondered what treasures lay hidden here.
Lawrence remained unmoved and said with a smile.
"You two go ahead, Mr. Big News Morgans and I will stay here and watch the ship!"
Zoro, Sanji, and Molly glanced at Lawrence with surprise, as if they had noticed something.
" Lawrence, are you really not going? This is Laugh Tale, the Laugh Tale! We still need to find the Pirate King's treasure!"
Higgins also greeted him warmly.
"Hehe, no need, I'll wait for you here!"
Seeing that Lawrence remained unmoved, Fisher and Higgins' expressions changed. Why was everyone acting so strangely today?
"Alright, since Lawrence isn't going, let's go check on him. It'll be good for him to be here and keep an eye on things."
Zoro had spoken, and the others didn't know what to say, so they quickly Luffy.
Once everyone else had gone far away, Lawrence smiled and looked at Big News Morgans.
"Mr. Big News Morgans, is the Ark Maxim ready? We need to hurry, I'm going to charge into battle with Lord Lin Yuan."
"Haha, don't worry, we have plenty of time. Compared to Luffy becoming the Pirate King, what Lord Lin Yuan is doing is the most important event, and I can't wait any longer."
Before arriving, Big News Morgans already knew Lawrence's identity, and his admiration for Lin Yuan grew even stronger.
When Laugh Tale landed on Luffy, almost the entire world was reporting on it.
If you want to divert the World Government's attention, nothing is more effective than Luffy becoming the Pirate King.
At this moment, all the merchants in the " Abyss " are Luffy. News Coo, Shyarly's intelligence organization, Stussy's Pleasure District, and the Shadow Secret Guard are all working together.
The world was once again stunned by the Straw Hat Pirates. No one expected that such a relatively unknown Straw Hat Pirates would make Big News Morgans one after another.
The excitement of defeating Kaido and becoming one of the Five Emperors hadn't even died down when he found the treasure of the Pirate King Roger and became the new Pirate King.
In response World Government and the Navy mobilized, even alarming Imu.
However, no one expected that Luffy 'Luffy at Laugh Tale and the news they received would happen on the same day.
Lawrence, having completed his mission, was eager to head to the Red Line. Had he not been waiting for Zoro, he would have set off long ago.
" Celestial Dragons, your end is nigh."
