A loud, boisterous laugh echoed across the sea.
Watching World rip off his mask and stride quickly toward the massive cannon of the ship, which was dozens of meters long.
Byrnndi Jack sighed helplessly, struggled to his feet again, and Earth Flow shakily to Bai Yu's side.
"Young man, don't worry, we mean no harm. World does harbor resentment, but he won't take it out on others easily. Just stay put on the ship and don't act rashly."
"Afterwards, whether we win or lose to the Navy and the World Government, you will at most be considered a hostage we took aboard the ship, and your life will not be in danger."
"We're all getting old, so let's do it one more time."
"As for whether the old era or the new era is stronger, this old man can't say for sure."
Watching Byrnndi Jack, who had just finished speaking and was now walking shakily towards World with his cane, Bai Yu sighed helplessly at his well-intentioned words.
Originally, I planned to lie low for a while and see what tricks the Five Elders would use.
I never expected to encounter such a troublesome problem so soon after leaving Wano Country.
He was even dragged onto the boat by an old man from the old era who kept saying he wanted to beat him up.
Originally, Bai Yu could have simply left.
However, looking at this enormous ship in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of "it's really tempting."
"Never mind, let's contact Fujitora and the others first and tell them what's going on here."
"As for going to the Sabaody Archipelago, if anything goes wrong, consider it another test of the Five Elders."
Boom!
The massive Groceade roared like thunder.
The enormous vessel, which had been moored at the dock, finally set sail and moved forward.
However, to get this massive ship moving, it's clear that World's More-More Fruit is indispensable.
Otherwise, this specially designed large ship would probably be somewhat of a waste of space when sailing on this vast ocean.
One day later, Sabaody Archipelago.
Seven or eight warships were rapidly approaching the shore.
Leading the group was none other than Smoker, who was smoking a cigarette and carrying the Smoker behind his Jitte, followed closely by Tashigi.
As for the other warship, seven figures also disembarked.
Leading the group is the newly appointed CP0 member Rob Lucci, along with a group of former CP9 members.
Sensing Smoker's gaze, Rob Lucci glanced at him and, unusually, spoke.
"I thought you would betray Marine Headquarters with that guy, but I didn't expect you to stay and even be promoted to Marine Vice Admiral. It seems that with that War Demon Bai Yu gone, Marine Headquarters really has no one left. Otherwise, why would you be able to become Marine Vice Admiral?"
These words immediately stopped the group of naval soldiers in their tracks, and the atmosphere became tense.
Ever since Bai Yu was forced to leave the Marine Headquarters, Bai Yu name has become a taboo subject.
Especially coming from the mouth of CP, a lackey of the Five Elders, it was sure to provoke discontent among many naval soldiers.
" Rob Lucci, shut up!"
Tashigi's face turned cold, and she instantly stepped out from the crowd.
"If you're so tough, go talk to Bai Yu and see if you'll get beaten up again."
"If you don't dare, then shut up."
you!
Kalifa was speechless with anger.
They, CP9, are known as the strongest force in the past eight hundred years.
Unfortunately, ever since they met Bai Yu, CP9 has been completely humiliated every time.
Two weeks ago, during the siege of Bai Yu in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, CP9 was promoted to CP0 for the first time.
However, when faced with the War Demon Bai Yu, they still only had the right to stare helplessly from the sidelines.
They didn't even have a chance to make a move.
It could be said that, in Kalifa's eyes, War Demon Bai Yu, was becoming a source of inner demons.
However, the fact that this rare mission wasn't related to War Demon Bai Yu undoubtedly relieved her.
"Are you the female soldier who learned swordsmanship from that guy? I thought you would leave with him too."
Rob Lucci remained indifferent as he spoke.
"However, since you didn't leave with him, I'd like to give you a piece of advice: that guy is no longer in the Navy. Speaking up for him like this will only give you ammunition for criticism."
"I forgot to tell you, this time CP0 is with you on a mission. Besides drawing out World's remnants, we're also here to welcome a replacement Admiral will fill the vacancy at Marine Headquarters after that guy left."
"Remember, that guy was just a brief figure in the history of the Marine Headquarters; it's not like there's no one who can replace him."
After saying this, Rob Lucci led Kalifa and the others quickly toward the shore.
Soon, they arrived at a middle-aged man sitting by the dock, casually drinking.
The man, dressed in a green shirt and dark green plaid trousers, with long, curly black hair, smiled as he looked at Rob Lucci walking towards him.
"So you're the CP9 weapon of war, hailed as a once-in-a-century talent? You are indeed a formidable asset."
"And there's the newly promoted Marine Vice Admiral Smoker over there. It seems you're not planning to let me get involved in this operation to take down World."
Smoker and Tashigi also stopped in their tracks.
Looking at the somewhat unkempt man with a full beard, he didn't feel like a stranger.
After all, when the Five Elders proposed to conduct World Military Draft, they had already announced the key candidates for conscription.
The Ryokugyu in front of us is one of them.
The other one is Fujitora Issho in purple.
"What's with the stunned looks? This is Ryokugyu, the one who replaced that guy as Marine Admiral! You're not planning to disobey orders, are you? Or do you think Admiral Ryokugyu is inferior to that guy?"
Kalifa adjusted her glasses and said with amusement.
Tashigi snorted coldly, then came to her senses.
" Kalifa, you don't need to stir up trouble anymore. We can't control what the higher-ups decide."
"But weren't there two candidates for the World Military Draft? Where did the other one go?"
Kalifa and the others paused for a moment, instinctively glancing at Ryokugyu.
In the battle within Wano Country, the Five Elders did indeed encounter Fujitora Issho.
However, they dared not openly reveal the shameful fact that Bai Yu had stolen their chosen partner beforehand.
The only thing that could be done afterward was to erase everything about Fujitora Issho from the official World Military Draft announcement.
However, this announcement has been in effect for more than half a month and is already widely known.
It is clearly difficult to eliminate the impact of the World Military Draft in a short period of time.
"Heh, I'm also curious to know if that old blind man got lost. He's lived most of his life, always talking about justice. I also want to know, did he get on the right track, or was I right?"
"If I have the chance, I'd like to verify that as well."
Ryokugyu chuckled dryly, then quickly raised an eyebrow, finished his drink, and gazed into the distance at the sea.
"Alright, enough talk, the target has arrived."
