A Major Mobilization! Blocking Their Path

"After all, if Imu discovers that the teleportation array in Elbaf has been destroyed, he will immediately turn his attention to Elbaf."

Unfortunately, the spies I planted in Mary Geoise were simply too low-level.

Even undercover agents planted within the government can only access matters that are not particularly confidential.

As for the Celestial Dragons, they were all incompetent fools who had almost no access to matters involving the God's Knights, let alone anything related to Imu.

Without access to detailed information, all we can do is prepare for the time being.

"Doesn't this mean that Elbaf is still not out of danger?"

Loki crossed his arms and looked annoyed.

"As long as Imu rules this world, there will never be a safe place."

Naito chuckled. "Go ahead, Loki. My men will meet you at the agreed location."

"As for Elbaf, don't worry, I won't let the World Government get close to that island. After all, that sea area is my territory, and I call the shots there."

Chapter 209 A Major Uproar! Blocking the Way at the Door

Naito floated in mid-air, gazing at the black dragon rapidly flapping its wings and disappearing into the distance on the horizon.

Naito didn't really care whether Elbaf lived or died.

It is indeed the World's Strongest, and the warriors of Elbaf are certainly the most formidable warriors in the world.

But ultimately, in this world, individual force determines everything.

Although the warriors of Elbaf are strong, they do not have the power to determine the course of the world, and are not as powerful as the behemoths under Naito's command.

As long as Loki and the Great Hammer Pirates are safe and sound, Naito doesn't care what happens to Elbaf.

However, neither Loki nor the Great Hammer Pirates would abandon Elbaf.

So, we need to put in a little more effort.

However, this refers to effort, not desperate measures.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have separated from Loki and the others like this. This was to avoid facing Imu's arrival with Loki in an unexpected situation.

So, what will happen next? It's really something to look forward to.

Naito turned around and soared into the sky in an instant; it was time to rejoin the others.

Another sea area in the New World.

The seven enormous warships, which had originally been heading back towards the front of the New World, have now turned around and are heading straight into the deeper parts of the New World.

On the deck of the large ship in the middle.

What does it mean to be an enemy that even Admiral Kizaru would admit defeat to?

Rear Admiral Doll dangling from his lips, exhaled smoke rings with a nonchalant air, but his words carried a heavy weight. "And two of them? Do such creatures even exist in this world?"

"That's truly unimaginable."

Admiral Aokiji remained lazily reclining on a deckchair on the deck. "Those Borsalino guys may seem unreliable, but they're actually quite arrogant."

Doll's lips twitched slightly. "Kuzan- senpai, do you have the right to say Borsalino- senpai is unreliable?"

"Loki the Giant, does he really possess that level of power?"

Ain spoke in a heavy tone, turning to look at Knight, who had become somewhat lethargic after completing his training in Conqueror's Haki Coating and was now lazily leaning against the ship's railing with his eyes closed, pretending to Naito off.

"That's even more exaggerated than Naito said!"

Naito told me that the giant named Loki could fight him to a standstill even without using his powers, which already seemed incredible.

But now it seems the reality is even more astonishing!

Fortunately, Naito didn't act recklessly and chose to retreat, otherwise...

"Loki is secondary, isn't he?"

Sitting on the deck next to Naito, leaning against the ship's railing, Binz scratched his head in frustration. "What do you mean, 'World is probably someone's puppet'?"

"If even the mighty World is a puppet, then just how terrifying is that guy who calls himself the Night King?!"

His voice involuntarily became somewhat shrill.

"It's not that simple a relationship, is it?"

Drake, arms crossed, frowned slightly and analyzed seriously, "That man who calls himself the Night King uses an ability similar to World's. Perhaps the second ability we've always believed World possessed was lent to him by World?"

"Yes, that makes a lot of sense."

Grus nodded repeatedly, looking quite serious. "From this perspective, World might not be as powerful as we originally thought."

"What exactly happened?"

Smoker, also puffing out a cloud of smoke, said, "We'll see once we find those two."

Just now, the fleet received a communication from headquarters.

The Sengoku Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who personally called them, solemnly recounted the attack that had occurred in Punk Hazard, emphasizing the power of the two attackers.

Then, a task was given to them.

Go find those two guys.

It wasn't just the Marine Guerrilla Unit that started the operation; marines from several nearby Marine Base also mobilized simultaneously.

Not only that, but Admiral Kizaru will also join them later.

"Brother Naito, Admiral Aokiji, Admiral Kizaru,"

Having just finished a round of training, Sanji, wiping the sweat from his brow, exclaimed with amazement, "They actually mobilized so many forces this time! Such a large-scale operation!"

"There's no way around it. Loki and the Night King are already terrifying beyond imagination, and if the Night King really is World's man, then they also have World's monster gang and the Golden Lion on their side!"

Drake's voice trailed off.

Why does it feel like our combat strength is actually insufficient?

The enemy's terror is absolutely chilling!

Otherwise, the Marine Headquarters should just go out and fight!

"So,"

Ain sighed, "At G-14 Base, Professor Zephyr and the others will also begin their operations."

The officers on deck all looked rather serious.

It can be said that the navy has deployed almost all of its forces that it can normally mobilize.

So, in the eyes of the government and headquarters, just how much of a threat do those two guys pose?

Naito, who was dozing against the ship's railing, or rather, the projection clone controlled by Naito, slightly opened his eyes.

Well, at least for now, the Navy's operations haven't involved Elbaf.

However, it's still uncertain whether the World Government will take any action. Let's wait and see if Stussy has any intelligence.

But trying to chase Loki now? That's ridiculous!

Viola is still in boot camp and cannot arrive in a short time, which means that the government has no way of confirming Loki's location.

While Loki cannot maintain his dragon form for extended periods, he will intermittently transform into a dragon and fly while gripping the ship to speed up his journey, making him impossible to catch.

The only question now is how the government will react after the large-scale search proves fruitless.

It's highly likely it will be Elbaf.

No matter how you look at it, that country is unavoidable.

Of course, I'm not worried about the government sending people to secretly Elbaf. That area of the sea has been managed by me so well that not even a fly could sneak into it without my knowledge.

However, simply defending without attacking is not his style.

To make the World Government behave, we need to teach them a lesson they won't forget.

Naito's eyes flickered; he probably already had an idea.

That guy Golden Lion, would probably be very interested in this, right? Let's drag him along.

But the first thing to do now is to get Professor Zephyr to behave.

If I let him cause trouble in those waters and he happens to run into Loki, I'll have to attend his funeral.

Look, Professor Zephyr, your proud student cares so much about you.

The later part of the New World.

Naval G-14 Base.

The Marine Base, which was once destroyed by the Golden Lion, was not rebuilt on the original site, since the original island had been severely damaged in the battle with the Golden Lion.

Therefore, the new G-14 Base was moved to a different location.

The island was originally called Egghead, and was commonly known as Egghead Island.

This place was originally the Eighth Research Institute of the Marine Science Unit, but due to its geographical location, it was selected by the Marine Headquarters to become the new G-14 Base.

However, the Eighth Research Institute was not directly shut down. Instead, it coexisted with G-14 Base, and scientists continued to conduct research on the island. In fact, the large-scale deployment of the navy made the institute safer.

Meanwhile, at this unprecedentedly large Marine Base, marines were hurriedly assembling towards the port.

At the port, rows of massive naval warships were ready.

Zephyr was now on the bow of a large ship, looking down at the bustling port.

"Teacher Zephyr,"

Behind him, Lieutenant Commander Vice Admiral Gion had been demoted from base commander to deputy base commander of G-14 Base, rested his hand on the hilt of his sword. "Preparations for departure are complete; we are ready to launch at any time."

"Um."

Zephyr nodded slightly. "Gion, I'm leaving the base in your care."

"But Professor Zephyr, isn't this a bit too dangerous?"

Gion frowned slightly, a hint of worry in her voice. "According to headquarters' reports, both Loki the Giant and that man who calls himself the Night King are monsters of unimaginable power."

"You're going to search alone, and if you actually run into them—"

Zephyr didn't turn around. "Aren't we just going to do nothing?"

"World and his gang were already terrifying enough, but now we know that World has someone backing him up, and he even has a powerful ally!"

"Their threat is probably no less than that of the Rocks Pirates back then. If we, as the Navy, stand still in the face of such a threat, who will deal with them?"

"..."

Gion fell silent.

She could only take a deep breath and say earnestly, "Teacher Zephyr, I wish you good luck in your martial arts endeavors—"

The master and apprentice were both startled, and then looked up almost simultaneously.

A figure was slowly descending from the sky.
