The soft voices echoed within the palace.
Everyone was completely dumbfounded.
They also genuinely felt that sense of unease within them.
But where exactly does this feeling come from?
If only one person has this feeling, it could be an illusion.
However, all four of them had the same feeling.
This remarkably consistent misconception is what makes them uneasy.
This was the first time I'd ever had this illusion since becoming one of the Five Elders.
"It seems there might be a problem here."
Daps's expression darkened slightly.
"Could it be related to the Nusjuro's death? If that's the case, we need to revive the Nusjuro as soon as possible. Only then can we figure out what methods that brat used to kill Nusjuro."
These words were immediately echoed by the crowd.
At least, among all other things, this was the only thing that kept them up at night.
"By the way, were all the experiments in the Science Unit successful? If they were, then we need to accelerate our pace of taking control of the world," Daps asked again.
"According to Vegapunk, it's almost done. Let's go take a look."
Rosa stomped her cane on the ground, and the resulting spatial fluctuations immediately tore open a spatial gate.
Before anyone could react, Rosa went inside first.
Three days later, in a sea shrouded in mist, a warship was cutting through the waves.
On the deck, Bai Yu was the one leading the group.
"Captain, where are we going now?" Trafalgar Law couldn't help but ask.
" Bepo, you must know something. I've seen you going to the captain's room a lot these past few days. You're not hiding something from me, are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were immediately fixed on Bepo.
Looking at Bepo, he felt utterly weak and exhausted, crawling out of the cabin.
Their fur was completely soaked, and they really wondered what Bepo was doing in the cabin.
Sensing the curiosity on everyone's faces, Bepo weakly took a few breaths, then quickly shook his head vigorously and said.
"No... no, I just asked the captain to help me with my training because I don't have the courage to face the place we're going to later."
"Places you don't have the courage to face?"
Trafalgar Law was taken aback and said.
" Bepo, you're not going to tell us that we're heading to your hometown, Zou, are you?"
As Bepo's captain, a brother who has faced life and death with him.
Trafalgar Law certainly knew what Zou was.
However, to Luo's utter surprise, Bai Yu would come to Zou at this critical juncture.
After all, during his time with Bepo, Trafalgar Law knew very well that Zou had two kings with particularly strange tempers.
"Captain... you're not planning to recruit the two kings of Zou, are you? They have very strange tempers. If we go there rashly, we might incur their wrath, and we might even be attacked."
Trafalgar Law couldn't help but say.
Of course, his so-called attack wasn't about worrying about Bai Yu.
Instead, they are worried about the two kings of Zou.
This is someone who can severely injure even the Four Emperors. What if the two kings of Zou really launch an attack on Bai Yu?
They are the ones who are injured.
"Captain, I've spoken to the captain, but he said there's a way, so I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and go for it."
Bepo said with a wry smile.
However, before Bepo could finish speaking, Fujitora, who was leaning on his Cane Sword, spoke up first.
"Captain, something seems to be approaching; it's a huge creature."
giant?
Everyone's nerves immediately tightened.
Bai Yu took a swig of his drink and said to himself.
"We can see them now! Looks like we didn't get lost. We've finally arrived! There are two guys worth taking down there!"
Zou is a nation inhabited by the Mink Tribe, a place that ordinary people, even with Log Pose, cannot reach.
Only those of the Mink Tribe, with their special senses, can find Zou's exact location.
Bepo has indeed been away from Zou for many years, but now it seems that his intuition to go home was quite accurate.
Most importantly, Bai Yu wants to find some worthwhile targets on the high seas to speed up the template unlocking process!
Trafalgar Law and the others quickly snapped out of their daze and hurriedly followed Bai Yu's gaze. The first thing they saw was a pillar gradually becoming clearer amidst the dense fog.
Most importantly, this towering pillar continues to move steadily across the sea.
The moment the foot landed, a massive wave, like Tsunami, crashed towards the warship.
"It really is a behemoth. Leave it to me!"
Fujitora spoke with some shock, drawing out a third of the Cane Sword in his hand.
A massive gravitational field immediately appeared around the warship.
The oncoming giant wave seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall and was blocked.
From a distance, the warship appeared to be an icebreaker, rapidly tearing through the Tsunami.
Before everyone could react, Fujitora had already maneuvered the warship and appeared next to Zou's giant right foot.
This scene left Trafalgar Law and the others speechless.
They finally understood why Bai Yu had gone to such lengths to invite Fujitora onto the ship.
With the power of the Press-Press Fruit, the warship moved through the air as if treading on flat ground, its momentum unstoppable.
" Fujitora- senpai, having you around really gives me a sense of security. From now on, I don't have to be a porter anymore."
Luo sighed inwardly, then said with a broad smile.
Before Fujitora joined him, he knew perfectly well that in such a critical moment, Bai Yu would definitely have him use the Room to perform a spatial jump to dodge the waves.
If it were just a small group of people, Trafalgar Law could easily dodge them.
But the thought of Bai Yu moving the entire ship along with him, all under the guise of cultivation, would absolutely enrage Luo.
In particular, the thought of having some free time during this period is quite something.
However, Bai Yu made him wear some kind of weighted equipment every day.
Luo is now completely unable to move an inch, and his whole body feels like it's about to fall apart.
However, when she thought of Bai Yu's orders and the phrase "this is a world where the strong prey on the weak," she felt a pang of sadness.
Trafalgar Law persevered despite the difficulties.
He clearly understood that if Bai Yu hadn't happened to intervene and defeat Heavenly Yaksha Doflamingo...
Based on his own abilities alone, it's likely that it will be a very long time before he's able to avenge his previous defeat.
Especially when you see those powerful figures appearing one after another on Bai Yu's ship.
Luo knew very well that if he continued to stagnate, he might eventually lose even the position of cleaning toilets.
Thinking of this, Luo clenched his fists inwardly.
I vowed to become stronger.
"Luo, it's your turn next!"
