The vast scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone looked at Bai Yu with a mixture of silence and helplessness.
Knowing full well that internal strife was brewing within the Whitebeard Pirates, to still say something like that clearly shows a desire to stir up trouble.
However, looking across this vast ocean, perhaps only Bai Yu is qualified to say such a thing.
In particular, having witnessed everything that had just happened, those present were clearly unable to refute these boastful words.
"Alright, since you put it that way, we'll try to find a solution as soon as possible."
After several seconds of silence, Ace finally sighed softly and answered.
"By the way, we've received news about what happened on Fish-Man Island. Pops asked me to thank you; we owe you another favor."
As the protectors of Fish-Man Island, the Whitebeard Pirates naturally had spies and subordinates stationed on the island.
However, these informants weren't very powerful, and everything that just happened was so sudden that it was clearly beyond their ability to intervene.
The only thing we can do is tell Whitebeard what happened here and let him handle it.
Unfortunately, while Whitebeard's strength was indeed at the pinnacle of his era, he was completely powerless to help Fish-Man Island.
If Fish-Man Island is indeed destroyed in this turmoil, it will be a disgrace for the Whitebeard Pirates as well.
Bai Yu's timely intervention saved face for the Whitebeard Pirates.
"This whole thing started because of me. I'm just cleaning up the mess. If there's nothing else, I'm going to get some sleep."
Bai Yu yawned. He had been troubled by the System Points lately, which had even affected his sleep quality.
Having finally completed the System Blind Box redemption, it's a Taiseki for now.
"You!"
Ace was speechless for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly.
"Alright, I won't bother you anymore. Although my strength is inferior to yours, you can always come to me if there's anything you can't handle. Remember, be careful of the Five Elders. If they're still planning to attack you this time, then it will come as fiercely as a storm."
"I know, I've wanted to chop them up for a long time too!"
Bai Yu casually replied and then hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Bai Yu couldn't stand this kind of concern.
On the Moby Dick, seeing the busy Den Den Mushi, Ace reluctantly put it away and turned to look at the ashen-faced Whitebeard.
" Pops, what do we do next? Should I go there first?"
Ace possesses the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit, and combined with his specially designed jet-powered boat, his speed would be significantly faster than the flagship of the Moby Dick.
Thatch's safety is still uncertain, and it could turn out exactly as Bai Yu said.
This is a matter of life and death; we must act quickly.
" Pops, don't you believe what Bai Yu said?"
Seeing Whitebeard fall silent, Ace couldn't help but speak up again.
The Whitebeard sighed softly and said, "I don't know either."
"However, just in case, I've sent Whitey Bay, who's closest, to provide support. With her and Thatch working together, it shouldn't be a problem."
Whitey Bay?
Ace paused for a moment; during this time, he had also become familiar with the Whitebeard Pirates.
He also knew a little about the captains of the pirate crews under his command.
The Ice Witch Whitey Bay was actually an early member of the Whitebeard Pirates, but left the Whitebeard Pirates for some reason to start her own business.
However, Whitey Bay has always acted as a member of Whitebeard's pirate crew.
He is also suspected of possessing Logia Devil Fruit ability.
Teaming up with Thatch to deal with Blackbeard shouldn't be too difficult.
Seeing that Whitebeard had made his decision, his posture clearly indicated that he intended to give Blackbeard a chance to prove his innocence.
Ace swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
However, Ace still felt uneasy thinking about what Bai Yu had just said.
I couldn't calm down for a while.
Meanwhile, the World Affiliated Nation Conference was convened ahead of schedule.
A forced conscription order issued within the World Government for the Shichibukai quickly spread.
At this sensitive juncture, the Five Elders, ostensibly to protect the safety of nobles from various kingdoms in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, are conducting a recruitment drive.
However, anyone who isn't a fool can definitely figure out what's going on.
Calm Belt, inside the palace on Amazon Lily.
Hancock looked at the conscription notice in her hand, a hint of coldness creeping into her pretty face.
"Big sister, these guys aren't planning to use us to attack Admiral Bai Yu, are they? Admiral Bai Yu has been kind to us; we absolutely cannot harm him."
"Marigold," she said in a deep voice.
"Big sister, don't worry, we'll refuse the World Government's summons right now!"
As they spoke, Marigold and Sandersonia turned to leave.
After returning to Amazon Lily, the three sisters used the miraculous power of the Senzu Bean to remove the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon from their backs, which they considered a disgrace.
It could be said that this was a simple matter for Bai Yu, but for them, it was a shameful and unforgettable experience.
Most importantly, their older sister likes it!
Otherwise, there's no need to think too much about this conscription order; you can just go and do nothing.
" Marigold, Sandersonia, I thought that of the three of you, only Hancock was truly willful, but I didn't expect that you two were no exception."
Granny Nyon came out leaning on her cane and said urgently.
"I didn't expect you to be just as willful."
"Our Amazon Lily is able to develop peacefully now entirely because of the title of Shichibukai. Without this title, the island would become a target of the Navy and even the World Government."
"Furthermore, we're merely accepting the Shichibukai's summons to attend the World Affiliated Nation Conference; it's just a formality, we don't necessarily have to take action."
"Besides, everyone already knows what the Five Elders are like. That brat probably won't even go to Holy Land Mary Geoise, so there's no conflict between that and our preserving of the Shichibukai's privileges!"
The words of the chief echoed in the room, lingering for a long time.
Marigold and Sandersonia fell silent.
Faced with such righteous words, he clearly had no way to refute them and could only subconsciously look at Hancock.
"No, he will definitely go," Hancock said with a frosty expression.
"However, I will also make a trip to the Holy Land Mary Geoise. If the Five Elders dare to Bai Yu, I will make them pay."
"The man I've fallen in love with is not someone I can easily deal with!"
