On the coast of Dressrosa, the warships of Naito and Gion, along with the flagships of several kings of the Affiliated Nation, were anchored.

Not far away on the sea, three large ships were also rapidly breaking through the water.

The sails of the three large ships were painted with the World Government's iconic cross.

This is World Government ship, belonging to CP0, which is investigating the Dressrosa incident and is also escorting Doflamingo and his crew.

On the shore, the Donquixote Family's executives and Doflamingo himself were left in heavy shackles, awaiting CP0's arrival to take them in.

"It's finally here."

Gion stood on the shore, turning her gaze away from the ships. "What happens next is none of our business, right?"

Naito sat cross-legged on a large rock, his head bowed, looking as if he had passed away, without uttering a word.

Instead, Ain, standing beside him, gazed at the three approaching ships and slowly said, "The rest is up to CP0. However, this is the first time we've dealt with Celestial Dragons' direct agents."

"Fufufufu, it's best not to have any expectations of those family members, Captain Ain."

His injuries hadn't healed yet, and he was practically wrapped up like a mummy. The Seastone shackles made him even weaker, but Doflamingo managed to lift his head.

He chuckled maliciously, "In the end, they're just a bunch of hyenas. Whoever the Celestial Dragons tell them to bite, they bite."

"Do you even have the right to speak here, Doflamingo?"

Binz, who was in charge of guarding Donquixote and his group, didn't hesitate to kick Doflamingo, sending him sprawling to the ground.

"Young Master!"

"Doffy!"

The Donquixote Family's officers gasped in surprise.

More people glared angrily at Binz.

What? You're not convinced?

Binz grinned. "Looks like I really need to show you what the iron fist of justice is all about."

"Fufufufu,"

Doflamingo was still laughing, his shoulders shaking with mirth. "Is it really okay to be so arrogant? Captain Binz, it seems you're convinced I'm finished. The World Government might not want to kill me as much as you think."

I don't care what you say!

Binz kicked Doflamingo in the back again. "Stop threatening me! Did you even ask my good brother Naito? Do you even have the strength to fight him?"

"And another thing, call me Major Binz!"

Yes, both Binz and Ain were promoted after the Dressrosa incident.

"Fufufufu!"

Doflamingo laughed wildly, seemingly amused by Binz.

"It's so noisy."

Half-asleep, Naito finally raised his head and gave an impatient snort, "Doflamingo, do you really enjoy laughing?"

"..."

Doflamingo fell silent instantly.

He couldn't be arrogant in front of Naito.

He still feels lingering fear from the feeling of being hit by Naito's punch.

At that moment, he genuinely believed that this man was going to punch him to death.

It hasn't been that long since we last clashed in Punk Hazard, how did this guy become so strong?

There is no doubt that Doflamingo left a huge psychological scar.

Doflamingo stopped laughing, and it was Binz's turn to laugh. "Hahaha, I thought you were going to be so arrogant! Is that all?"

Gion couldn't help but find it amusing; Binz knew how to use someone else's power to intimidate others.

The Donquixote Family's officers were all dejected.

All their past arrogance and dignity were easily shattered by Naito.

Soon, the three large government ships had docked.

As the deck was lowered, five CP0 officers dressed in white quickly disembarked, followed by a large group of junior agents in black suits.

"Thank you for your hard work, Rear Admiral Naito."

The CP0 leader walked up to Naito and sincerely extended his hand, "I am Guernica. Please leave everything to us."

Naito sized up the man: white cloak, white suit, white hat, and white makeup on his face, looking as blank as a mask.

Isn't this the king of photography?

He survived being hit by Kaido's club and managed to capture his Gear Fifth form with his last breath.

However, if this guy hadn't suddenly interfered, allowing Kaido to nearly kill Luffy with a single blow, Luffy's Gear Fifth probably wouldn't have Awakening so quickly.

In a way, this guy changed the timeline.

"Um."

"You can't hit someone who's smiling," Naito nodded slightly and shook hands with the guy.

"Quick!"

Meanwhile, another CP0 agent was directing his team, "Get all these Donquixote Family members onto the ship!"

The agents sprang into action immediately.

Without any hesitation, they loaded the entire Donquixote Family onto the ship.

Doflamingo was lifted up by two agents and roughly dragged backward, his eyes, hidden beneath bandages, fixed on Naito.

Just you wait, Naito, this isn't going to end like this!!

"In that case, can we leave now?"

Gion Road.

"Certainly."

Guernica was very amiable. "Rear Admiral Naito, Vice Admiral Gion, you can continue your escort mission. We will handle everything in this country."

Let's go.

Naito stood up without any hesitation.

There's nothing to miss about this island.

If we have to say what's of any value, it's probably only Princess Mansherry of the Tontatta.

But Navy Naito couldn't possibly kidnap a princess.

So Naito led the navy aboard the warships, and several large ships set sail.

Guernica gazed at the large ships gradually moving away from the shore, her tone somewhat bewildered, "What a remarkable young man."

He stretched and said, "Let's get to work."

What exactly happened in Dressrosa is secondary; the point is, the first priority is to interrogate Doflamingo to find out what he knows about the Celestial Dragons.

The fleet gradually sailed away from Dressrosa.

That is, at this moment.

"Wait, Rear Admiral Naito! Wait!"

The shouts came suddenly.

Naito turned around.

A huge crowd of people appeared on the coast.

Naito had excellent eyesight and immediately recognized that the family at the very front were King Riku's.

King Riku, Viola, Kyros, Rebecca.

Next came the people of Dressrosa.

"Rear Admiral Naito! Thank you for everything you've done for Dressrosa!"

King Riku shouted at the top of his lungs, "You will always be a hero of this country!"

"Thank you, Rear Admiral Naito!"

The crowd behind him shouted in unison, their voices sweeping across the sea like a mighty torrent.

Then came a series of shouts, each different from the last.

"Rear Admiral Naito, you absolutely have to come again!"

"Rear Admiral Naito, have a safe journey!"

Dressrosa will always remember you!

Their gratitude was palpable.

"Oh my, you're really popular, Little Naito."

"Vice Admiral Gion," said the prince with a smile.

Naito casually remarked, "Of course."

"Haha, that answer wasn't unexpected."

On the shore, King Riku and his family watched the fleet sail away into the distance.

"What a noble navy officer."

Kyros couldn't help but exclaim, "He saved this country without asking for anything in return, not even caring about our gratitude. Is this the Naito the Hero?"

"Thanks to Rear Admiral Naito, otherwise this country would forever remain a plaything in Doflamingo's hands."

King Riku said earnestly, "I must repay his kindness when I have the chance."

Princess Rebecca tugged at her grandfather's trouser leg, "Will that navy boy come back?"

"It definitely will."

King Riku gently patted his granddaughter's head and said softly, "There will definitely be a day when we meet again."

Viola gazed absently at the ships that were gradually disappearing at the horizon.

Suddenly, she said, "Father, I also want to be a naval officer like Rear Admiral Naito."

"Viola?"

King Riku looked completely bewildered.

Shortly thereafter.

In the skies of a certain New World, a massive ship soars silently.

On the deck, the Golden Lion, puffing on a cigarette, looked somewhat troubled.
