The Sengoku had no choice but to divert its own troops to suppress the unrest in the New World.
The execution, which was originally scheduled to begin soon, has been postponed until now.
Hancock picked up another intelligence report.
"Something happened in the Sabaody Archipelago too."
" Straw Hat Luffy attacks Celestial Dragons and knocks him down with a single punch."
"The Navy dispatched Admiral Kizaru, followed by the appearance of Shichibukai."
The Straw Hat Pirates has completely disappeared.
Uchiha Xin calculated the time.
The Celestial Dragons incident occurred seven days after they left Amazon Lily.
Luffy knocked down Celestial Dragons with one punch, and was then sent flying by Kuma.
These events are not significantly different from the original timeline.
The only problem is that Luffy can't possibly land on Amazon Lily.
The day before the Celestial Dragons incident, Robin had already used the Float-Float Fruit to move Amazon Lily away.
The entire island is now Sky Island.
Even if Luffy sends Kuma back to his original location, he will only fall into the sea.
Fortunately, Uchiha Xin had left a trace of his aura on Luffy.
That aura had not yet dissipated.
The location has been constantly changing.
This means Luffy is not dead.
As for where he was sent, Uchiha Xin had no interest in finding out.
"Does my husband know Straw Hat Luffy?"
Hancock noticed that he was staring intently at the intelligence report and asked a question.
"I've met him a few times."
Should I send someone to find him?
"Unnecessary."
Uchiha Xin tossed the intelligence aside.
"As long as they're alive, we don't need to worry about them."
Hancock nodded.
She has absolutely no interest in Luffy.
Since Uchiha Xin isn't going to get involved, she won't waste the Thunder Emperor Corps's manpower.
According to the original timeline, the Paramount War would have broken out within a month at most after the Sabaody Archipelago incident.
Nearly three months have passed now.
The Navy then released news of Ace's capture again.
This indicates that the turmoil in the New World has been temporarily suppressed.
After dragging Sengoku out for so long, Sengoku is finally ready to make his move against Whitebeard.
Uchiha Xin looked out at the sea.
The Navy wanted to use Ace to lure out Whitebeard.
Whitebeard will definitely lead all his forces to Marineford to rescue them.
The top combat forces from both sides will be concentrated in one place.
Such an opportunity is unlikely to come twice.
Uchiha Xin has no intention of helping either side.
The Navy and the World Government sent people to assassinate him several times.
Although the Whitebeard Pirates did not directly intervene, they were still one of the largest forces in the New World.
He wants both sides to suffer heavy losses.
The greater the naval losses, the more difficult it will be for World Government to maintain order at sea.
If Whitebeard dies in battle, the territory he controlled will be completely out of control.
At that time, he can not only reap the benefits of both sides' top capabilities, but also use this war to test the World Government's true trump card.
The Five Elders.
Commander-in-Chief of the entire army.
CP0.
And there's Imu has always been hidden behind the Empty Throne.
If the Navy truly believes that the Three Admirals can solve everything, then let them pay the price.
"My husband."
Hancock suddenly looked up.
"A message has been received from the Sky Island."
A Den Den Mushi was delivered by a member of the Thunder Emperor Corps.
Hancock answers the Den Den Mushi.
The Den Den Mushi's face quickly transformed into Sandersonia's appearance.
"Elder sister."
"The Navy has just delivered the summons for the Shichibukai."
Hancock frowned.
"A summons?"
"The Navy is ordering all the Shichibukai to proceed to Marineford."
Sandersonia said:
"It's clearly written in the order."
"This gathering is related to the agreement between the Shichibukai and the World Government."
"Those who refuse to respond will likely have their Shichibukai status revoked."
Marigold's voice also came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"The Navy personnel are still waiting for a reply."
"Sister, what should we do?"
Hancock didn't think.
"Reject."
"I have no time to accompany the navy into battle."
Sandersonia hesitated for a moment.
"Sister, the Navy's stance this time is very firm."
So what?
Hancock's voice turned cold.
"The title of Shichibukai is of no use to Amazon Lily now."
Tell them, I will not go to Marineford.
"If they dare to continue harassing us, just drive them away."
"Yes."
Sandersonia did not continue to persuade him.
The Amazon Lily has been moved to the Sky Island.
The soldiers on the island also received enhancements.
Everything the Navy used to threaten Hancock is now useless.
Even if the Navy were to revoke the Shichibukai status, it wouldn't affect Amazon Lily.
The Den Den Mushi hung up quickly.
Hancock casually put it aside.
"The navy is such a hassle."
"Knowing full well that I have already followed my husband, you still dare to send a summons."
Uchiha Xin laughed.
"The summoning of the Shichibukai indicates that the Navy is ready for war."
Hancock immediately realized what was happening.
"Are they going to publicly execute Ace?"
"Soon."
The summons for the Shichibukai is not issued without a reason.
The navy has begun to concentrate its top combat power.
The public announcement of Ace's execution will soon spread throughout the seas.
The Paramount War is finally about to begin.
Hancock looked at Uchiha Xin.
Should we return to Sky Island now?
"Let's look for a while longer."
Uchiha Xin picked up the sea chart on the table.
For the past three months, they have been tracking Zou.
They found many traces of giant elephants along the way, but never actually saw Zou.
The Zunesha was constantly moving.
Its location cannot be marked on ordinary nautical charts.
The New World has complex ocean currents and frequently changing weather.
Even if Uchiha Xin could use Divine Transference to cross the sea, he would not be able to lock onto a constantly moving target out of thin air.
"Continue the search for another one to two weeks."
"If we still can't find it, we'll return to the Sky Island."
"Then we'll head to Marineford."
Hancock had no objection.
"I will accompany my husband."
The nearby members of the Thunder Emperor Corps also stopped training.
Marguerite walked up to the two of them.
"Master, do we need to participate in the Paramount War?"
"Not all of them need to be mobilized."
Uchiha Xin said:
You shall remain on the ship.
"If necessary, I will take you directly to the battlefield."
Marguerite's head.
"Clear."
Hancock looked at the markings on the nautical chart.
" Zou has left its mark on this sea area many times."
"Keep moving forward, and you might meet him soon."
Uchiha Xin did not answer.
If we haven't found it in three months, one or two more weeks won't make a difference.
The large ship adjusted its course and continued sailing into the sea ahead.
Several days later.
Below the clouds, a figure moved swiftly using silk threads.
Doflamingo stepped onto the Sky Walk, his body propelling forward time and time again.
Countless thin lines connect the clouds high in the sky.
Each pull allowed him to cross vast stretches of sea.
The naval summons has been delivered to Dressrosa.
This time, Sengoku didn't give the Shichibukai many options.
Either go to Marineford.
They either have to give up their status Shichibukai and become a target of the Navy again.
Doflamingo, of course, wouldn't refuse.
