"Crane, what are you doing?"
Zephyr was taken aback, looking at the crane that had suddenly blocked his way, somewhat puzzled, and said.
"You wouldn't be interested in the Eight Gates Released too, would you?"
After witnessing Bai Yu's mastery of the Eight Gates Released Formation firsthand...
It's clear that the Marine Headquarters has started a trend of learning the Eight Gates Released.
It's fair to say that no one wants to miss this opportunity to become stronger.
No one wants to be the one who wins at the starting line.
Therefore, Zephyr was not surprised that the crane had this impulse.
However, this kind of thing shouldn't require dual cultivation, right?
His face, as withered and bark-like as a crane, furrowed slightly as he looked in the direction Sengoku and Garp had left.
He repeatedly released his Observation Haki to confirm that no one was around.
He dragged Zephyr to a secluded corner.
This action immediately sent a shiver down Zephyr's spine.
Before he could even process his strange thoughts, Tsuru had already cautiously pulled out a Den Den Mushi and said...
" Zephyr, don't make a sound. Bai Yu secretly gave me a Visual Den Den Mushi last night. It seems he already anticipated that the Five Elders would have Sengoku and Garp taken away, so he didn't give this Den Den Mushi to them."
"If I told you that there's Seventh Gate in the Eight Gates Released, would you believe me?"
What!
Zephyr suddenly jumped up.
Even the hand gripping the railing against the wall was crushed by the force of the grip.
His wide-open eyes were filled with disbelief, and his eye sockets almost popped out.
Yesterday, Bai Yu's Sixth Gate had already shaken them to their core.
Now, a Seventh Gate has emerged.
What level of power would it unleash?
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a volcanic eruption.
When I saw Tsuru take out the Den Den Mushi, I thought she was recording some kind of short video.
I never expected this to be such a bombshell.
Faced with the Den Den Mushi containing the Seventh Gate of the Eight Gates Released, Zephyr took a good half minute to calm down.
After taking a deep breath, she asked, "He, is everything you said true?"
"That brat, could he be hiding an eighth or ninth gate?"
"I don't know either, but this technique is called the Eight Gates Released. I'm afraid there really is Eighth Gate, right? However, the human body is already putting a lot of strain on itself by breaking through its limits six times. Even Garp and Sengoku couldn't achieve that. I'm afraid that if Bai Yu didn't say it, very few people would think that there would be a limit after the limit."
He shook his head, his expression slightly somber.
"However, I'm not worried about how many gates the Eight Gates Released has right now."
The biggest fish Bai Yu is worried about is the Five Elders.
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to predict that the Five Elders would take Garp and Sengoku away."
"Once the Five Elders sense that Bai Yu is becoming a greater threat, they may be unable to resist taking action against Bai Yu, just like what happened seventeen years ago."
Zephyr's expression froze for a moment.
The incident that nearly turned the entire Holy Land Mary Geoise upside down seventeen years ago.
As a veteran, he was certainly well aware of this.
However, the thought of the Five Elders attacking Bai Yu was unbearable.
After Bai Yu unleashed the Sixth Gate, a Seventh Gate suddenly appeared.
They probably don't know if they'll look at each other with a disgusted expression.
In particular, recalling Bai Yu's last words when he left, Zephyr sighed weakly.
"He, I don't know either. That kid always gives me the feeling of being as deep as an ancient pool, unfathomable."
"Now we can only hope that the Five Elders will be more lenient; otherwise, this time, we might not be so easily overshadowed as we were seventeen years ago."
"However, I will be staying with you for the next period of time. Until Sengoku and Garp return, this Den Den Mushi recording the Seventh Gate must not be leaked in the slightest, not even to Akainu and the others."
"Understood!" Crane nodded solemnly in agreement.
She knew perfectly well the value of this Den Den Mushi.
Once the news gets out, it'll make Garp and Sengoku so excited they'll burst their blood vessels.
It's likely that all the major powers will not let this opportunity to seize it slip by.
The Sixth Gate is already this terrifying.
Whoever possesses the Seventh Gate will likely be able to distinguish themselves among the Four Emperors of the Sea.
The situation will inevitably become one of unipolarity and multiple strong powers.
Therefore, in addition to feeling the weight of the Den Den Mushi in his hand, the crane also...
I also know very well that this Den Den Mushi is worth risking my life to protect.
Meanwhile, it is located within the Totto Land Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors.
A World Government ship sped forward, cutting through the waves.
Under normal circumstances, the appearance of World Government would absolutely provoke an attack from Totto Land.
However, this time, after receiving orders from Big Mom Charlotte Linlin.
Everyone merely watched with interest as the World Government ship departed.
After sailing for half a day, the World Government's ship finally arrived at the Totto Land Center, which was also the entrance to the ocean from Whole Cake Island where Charlotte Linlin was located.
Perospero, the eldest son of Charlotte Linlin and the chief steward of the Big Mom Pirates, who possesses the Lick-Lick Fruit ability, was already waiting here.
Looking at the warships before him, and the World Government flag fluttering in the wind.
Perospero smiled, licked the giant lollipop in his hand, and strode over.
"Hehe, this is a rare guest, His Excellency One of the Five Elders of the World Government. Your arrival has truly brought honor to our Big Mom Pirates and Totto Land."
"Mother has been waiting over there for quite some time. Please, Your Five Elders, come with me."
He serves as the chief steward of the Big Mom Pirates.
He is also Charlotte Linlin's eldest son.
Perospero has always harbored the ambition to replace his mother and become one of the Four Emperors.
In the original story, when the Big Mom was kicked away by Jin and fell into the sea...
Perospero's first thought wasn't to rescue people, but rather who would take over the mantle of the Four Emperors.
However, due to limitations in strength, Perospero was clearly outmatched by Katakuri, who was considered an invincible god and practically invincible.
It was for this reason that he wanted to stand out in his family and advance further in his position as Four Emperors.
That's why Perospero volunteered to take on the task of welcoming the Five Elders.
After all, the existence of the Five Elders has always been shrouded in mystery.
All factions are indeed aware that the World Government has the Five Elders behind it all.
However, very few people actually see them.
The Five Elders have now taken the initiative to land on the Totto Land Island to discuss a killing plan with Charlotte Linlin.
This is undoubtedly the best opportunity to showcase one's abilities.
"So this is the Totto Land? As expected of an important stronghold of the Four Emperors, it seems even more surprising than I imagined."
Nusjuro, carrying a sword, slowly walked down from the deck.
His gaze suddenly shifted and quickly settled on the Big Mom was engrossed in eating, thousands of meters away.
