After Ain left, Uya's figure also vanished in a flash, and no one present, including Sengoku Garp, could figure out how Uya left.
Even with speeds like Kizaru's, Observation Haki can detect them, but it's powerless against spatial teleportation, as Observation Haki Observation Haki isn't a god-like perspective.
"Mr. Sengoku, should we stop him?" Aokiji stood to the side, paused for a moment, and then asked Sengoku.
On the other side, Kizaru shook his head and said, "With this kind of spatial ability, there aren't many people who can do anything to him."
"However, if we really clash with Four Emperors, regardless of the outcome, the entire world will likely be thrown into turmoil. That would be a truly terrifying scene."
After saying a few words with a smirk, Kizaru also turned to look at Sengoku.
The atmosphere in the arena became very tense for a moment, and Sengoku also had a gloomy expression, seemingly lost in thought.
Just then, Garp, who had been standing to the side, suddenly burst into unrestrained laughter, "Hahaha, this kid Uya, he really has the style of an old man!"
Although he was laughing, his laughter, while hearty, also carried a hint of seriousness. As he laughed, Garp shook his head and turned to leave the square.
For once, Sengoku did not reprimand Garp. Instead, he stood there with a very serious expression for a long time before taking a deep breath.
Let's disband first.
After dealing with the chaotic situation in the square, Sengoku quickly returned to his office and picked up a Den Den Mushi from his desk.
The other end of the Den Den Mushi connects to the offices of the Five Elders, the highest power core of the World Government.
"Hello, this is Fleet Admiral Sengoku. I have something to report to you..."
Sengoku quickly recounted the events, but by this point, the situation had completely spiraled out of his control. Once the Four Emperors were involved, it was no longer a matter he could decide arbitrarily.
In the original story, the Navy's actions against Whitebeard were approved by the World Government, because the Seven Warlords of the Sea also participated in the Summit War, and the Navy had no right to mobilize the Seven Warlords of the Sea; only the World Government could order Seven Warlords of the Sea.
After a long silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, an old voice finally came through.
"Let's wait and see."
"Yes."
Sengoku's eyes flickered slightly, he responded with a sound of agreement, and hung up the phone.
World Government.
The Five Elders ' office, though called an office, was actually a spacious hall with several elegant sofas arranged there. The Five Elders were gathered together, some sitting and some standing.
"To be able to send Sakazuki flying with a single punch, this person's strength is indeed not to be underestimated, and he also possesses a troublesome space-time Devil Fruit ability."
"Let him go and challenge one of the Four Emperors. Regardless of the outcome, it will be beneficial to us. If he can actually defeat one of the Four Emperors Four Emperors and perish together with him, that would undoubtedly be the best outcome. Even if he can't do that, just severely damaging one of the Four Emperors' pirate crews with his death would be extremely advantageous to us."
"That's right, this gives us a chance to eliminate one of the Four Emperors' forces."
The Five Elders discussed amongst themselves, but unlike the solemn expressions of the Sengoku, they appeared more relaxed.
In their view, although Uya was very strong, even stronger than Admiral Akainu, he was about to face a Four Emperors pirate crew.
Even Kizaru has to be careful when facing the Four Emperors' pirate crews. Even with the ability of a space-time Devil Fruit, he might not be able to escape unscathed.
After all, among the Four Emperors ' pirate crews, it's not just the Emperors who are the strongest on the sea; their officers also possess all sorts of strange and troublesome abilities.
Going to cause trouble for a Four Emperors pirate crew by yourself is practically suicide.
The news that Vice Admiral Uya of the Marine Headquarters was going to visit one of the Four Emperors spread throughout the seas almost instantly.
Even if this incident occurred at the Marine Headquarters, Sengoku could not suppress such news. After all, in addition to countless Marines, the Marine Headquarters also housed a large number of Marine family members, and there might even be spies infiltrated by the Revolutionary Army or other forces.
After the news spread, the entire ocean was in an uproar.
Various mocking and sarcastic remarks, along with shouts that Uya was ignorant of his own limitations, echoed throughout the Grand Line, especially in the latter half of Grand Line.
The pirates of the Four Emperors ' pirate crews even scoffed at the idea, not believing that Uya would actually dare to come.
Yu Uya, who had stirred up the sea, was standing at the very front of the deck of a warship, with the turbulent ocean below the railing.
This warship is a medium-sized warship. Although Ain wanted to mobilize a large warship, it was fraught with difficulties. In the end, he could only choose a medium-sized warship, and even that was a stretch.
The number of naval personnel on board the warship is also far below the standard configuration for a medium-sized warship.
This is naturally because everyone was frightened by Uya's words about visiting the Four Emperors. If it weren't for the fact that there are still many fearless people in the Navy, and that the orders of the officers are above all else in the Navy, they probably wouldn't even be able to leave the Marine Headquarters!
Uya didn't mind at all. In fact, even if it were a small warship or a small boat like Hawk-Eye, Uya wouldn't care.
It was Ain, the adjutant, who actually chose to follow him, that caught Uya's attention.
At this moment, Ain was standing obediently next to Uya, looking completely at his beck and call.
Ain herself didn't know why she ultimately became so determined to follow Uya. Perhaps it was because Uya had enhanced her physique several times over with a flick of his finger, or perhaps it was the aura that Uya had once exuded that made her instinctively want to follow him.
By this time, the warship had already sailed out of the Marine Headquarters. As a navy vessel, if it wanted to go to the New World, it naturally didn't need to go through the trouble of coating itself and then traversing Fish-Man Island, which is 10,000 meters underwater.
From time to time, the navy personnel behind could be heard whispering among themselves, their expressions a mixture of unease and sorrow.
Seemingly having overheard their conversation, Uya suddenly smiled and said to Ain beside him, " Ain, what do you think about coming with me to 'die'?"
"Ah?!"
Ain blinked, clearly not expecting Uya to joke, and was momentarily stunned, having always thought Uya was the kind of person who was extremely serious and indifferent.
These words inexplicably dispelled the unease in Ain's heart. She put on a serious expression and said, "I have no particular feelings. You are the superior, and I am the adjutant. Of course, I must follow your orders in everything."
"Tell the truth!" Uya glanced at Ain.
"Uh! Well, for some reason, I feel like I won't die if I follow you."
Seeing Uya's expression, Ain coughed slightly, then suddenly smiled sweetly, feeling that ever since she agreed to follow Uya out to sea, she seemed to have become much less reserved in front of Uya.
"I see..." Uya turned to look at the boundless sea in front of him, revealing a deep gaze, seemingly lost in thought.
After a while, Uya turned around and casually asked, "Which of the Four Emperors is the closest?"
"It should be the Big Mom Pirates, located on Whole Cake Island in the New World," Ain replied without hesitation.
The Navy has very clear information regarding the power structure of the Four Emperors' pirate crews.
Uya rested his hand on the deck railing, casually raised two fingers, and silently tapped the railing as he said, "Then, let's start from here."
I really am going!
Ain's expression froze slightly, then she couldn't help but look cautiously at Uya and said, "Um, sir, we're not really going to our deaths, are we?"
What do you think?
Uya turned to look at Ain, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Ain looked somewhat embarrassed and lowered her head slightly. When she looked up again, she found that Uya had disappeared from her sight.
"Commander Uya?"
Ain blinked, a fleeting look of hesitation and uncertainty crossing her small face, before a resolute expression appeared. Now that she had made her decision, she would follow him to the end, no matter what, even if it meant going to her death.
Moreover, given Uya's strength and mystique, even if he couldn't defeat a Four Emperors pirate crew, Ain believed he could still escape unscathed. (To be continued.)
