Tashigi sat to the side wiping away Shigure.
She glanced up at it only once before continuing to wipe the blade with the cloth.
Nami walked up to Uchiha Xin.
It's not that I don't trust you.
"But even if the Sky Island really exists, how do we get there?"
"It must be at least several thousand meters above the ground there, right?"
"We can't expect everyone to fly up at the same time."
Vivi nodded.
" The Divine Palace can't come with us."
Uchiha Xin looked at them without explaining.
He raised his right hand.
The array deep within the Divine Palace was activated simultaneously.
Rumble!
The entire Divine Palace suddenly trembled.
The teacup on the table bounced slightly.
Nami quickly grabbed the edge of the table.
What happened?
"Earthquake?"
Robin walked quickly to the window.
She looked outside, then suddenly stopped.
The ground is sinking.
No.
It's not the ground that's falling.
The clouds surrounding the Divine Palace swept quickly past the window.
Vivi also ran to the window and looked down.
The sea, which was once so close, is now receding into the distance at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The coastline is shrinking.
The town was transformed into a series of cubes.
The mountains gradually descended below the Divine Palace.
Nami rushed out of the main hall.
She stood at the edge of the square, watching the entire Divine Palace soar into the clouds, her hands gripping the railing tightly.
Robin followed behind, looking up at the sky that was already so close.
Vivi held onto the pillar for a long time without letting go.
Only at this moment did they realize that the Divine Palace, which usually floated quietly high in the sky, could actually fly.
The entire Divine Palace roared into the sky!
The sea below was no longer visible.
Nami leaned against the railing, watching the clouds recede into the distance, her shock lingering on her face for a long time.
"This palace can actually fly."
"And it's so fast!"
Vivi looked up at the sky.
Layer upon layer of clouds blocked the way, only to be pushed aside by the Divine Palace.
Robin stood at the edge of the square, holding the compiled Poneglyph documents in his hand.
The Sky Island contains Poneglyph.
Once she gets there, she can continue deciphering the messages left behind eight hundred years ago.
Uchiha Xin stood in front of the Divine Palace.
The Eye of God pierced through the clouds, searching for the location of the Sky Island.
His only goal in this trip to the Sky Island is the Poneglyph.
Under his control, the Divine Palace accelerated, rushing towards higher ground.
at the same time.
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
The door to the Fleet Admiral's Office was suddenly pushed open.
A Rear Admiral rushed in.
He held a newly delivered intelligence report in his hand, his forehead covered in sweat.
Urgent news from " Fleet Admiral Sengoku," Alabasta!
Sengoku sat behind his desk and looked up.
What's the panic?
"Catch your breath first."
The Rear Admiral didn't even have time to catch his breath.
He placed the intelligence on the table.
Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is confirmed dead!
"The person who killed him was Uchiha Xin!"
The Sengoku period ceased its movements.
He grabbed the intelligence report and quickly read through it.
The further he looked, the uglier his expression became.
Bang!
Sengoku slammed his hand on the table.
The files on the desktop were shaken and scattered all over the floor.
"It's Uchiha Xin again!"
"How long has it been since he killed Moonlight Moria?"
"Now even Crocodile is dead at his hands!"
Several navy personnel outside the office stopped in their tracks.
No one dared to approach.
Sengoku looked up and stared at the Rear Admiral who had delivered the message.
When did this happen?
The Rear Admiral lowered his head.
"According to reports from Alabasta, Crocodile died several days ago."
A few days ago?
The voices of the Sengoku rose.
"Why is headquarters only receiving news of the Shichibukai' deaths now?"
"Are the Alabasta naval bases all deaf?"
What are the intelligence agencies doing now?
The Rear Admiral general quickly explained.
" Fleet Admiral, the Alabasta royal family has blocked the news."
"King Cobra refused to allow the local navy to intervene, nor did he report to the World Government immediately."
"The intelligence team only reopened the investigation after it was confirmed that Crocodile had not been seen for an extended period."
Sengoku gripped the document in his hand tightly.
The paper was crumpled from his grip.
Why did Cobra for Uchiha Xin?
The Rear Admiral hesitated for a moment.
" Crocodile secretly manipulated Baroque Works, using Dance Powder to create a three-year Drought in Alabasta."
He also instigated a war between the royal army and the Rebel Army.
" Alabasta has repeatedly requested assistance from the Navy, hoping we would investigate Crocodile."
"But Crocodile is Shichibukai."
"The local navy has no authority to investigate him."
Several requests for help were ultimately suppressed.
The Sengoku remained silent.
The Rear Admiral general forced himself to continue the report.
"After arriving in Alabasta, Uchiha Xin killed Crocodile and destroyed Baroque Works."
He also quelled the rebellion and ended a three-year drought.
" Cobra believes the navy cannot protect Alabasta."
"Therefore, the royal family refuses to cooperate with us."
Silence fell over the office.
The Sengoku wanted to get angry, but couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Crocodile, under the guise of Shichibukai, has been operating in Alabasta for many years.
The navy not only failed to discover his plan, but also blocked the royal family's request for an investigation.
Now that Crocodile has been killed, Alabasta has returned to peace.
From Cobra's perspective, he really had no reason to trust the Navy anymore.
The office door opened again.
Garp walked in carrying a bag of senbei (rice crackers).
Vice Admiral Tsuru followed behind.
Garp saw the documents scattered on the floor and casually picked one up.
"What happened now?"
"Could it be that one of the Four Emperors has attacked?"
Sengoku tossed the intelligence he was holding over.
See for yourself!
Garp caught the intelligence report and glanced at it.
Crocodile is dead?
Instead of getting angry, he grinned.
"Good riddance!"
"I've long disliked those Shichibukai."
"They're all pirates, yet they use the privileges granted by the World Government to commit evil everywhere."
" Moria is dead, and now Crocodile is dead too."
"Isn't it better to let them fight like dogs?"
Sengoku period, veins throbbed on his forehead.
" Garp!"
" The Seven Warlords of the Sea system is related to the balance of the sea!"
"With one Shichibukai dead, we must find a new replacement."
"Now that two have died in a row, you can still laugh?"
Garp grabbed a senbei and put it in his mouth.
"What ocean balance?"
"The balance maintained by a few pirates is bound to break down sooner or later."
"In my opinion, we should simply abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea system."
"So we don't have to clean up their messes later."
Enraged, Sengoku pointed towards the door.
"If all you can do is make sarcastic remarks, get out of here right now!"
Garp grabbed another handful of rice crackers.
Why are you so temperamental?
"So what if two pirates died?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru walked to the table and picked up another intelligence report.
She did not participate in their argument.
" Garp, don't be so happy yet."
Crocodile and Moria are indeed pirates.
"But Uchiha Xin killed more than just them."
