Target: The Kid Pirates!

The crisp sound rang out, and the ground suddenly shook.

Tender green shoots burst forth from the soil, growing rapidly and thickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Towering ancient trees rise from the ground, their branches intertwining and forming roofs and walls.

In just a short while, rows of neat and orderly wooden houses rose from the ground on the once dilapidated open space.

The brand-new Marine Base thus took shape out of thin air, right before everyone's eyes.

The marines of the Sabaody Archipelago branch were already dumbfounded.

This was the first time they had ever seen such an amazing Devil Fruit ability!

Once the new Sabaody Archipelago Marine Base was fully completed, Ivan slowly walked forward, glanced at the brand-new base, and said calmly, "From now on, this will be the new Sabaody Archipelago Marine Branch."

As soon as the words were spoken, the marines seemed to wake from a dream, and the astonishment on their faces gradually turned into extreme respect and awe.

They bowed deeply, their voices even louder than before. "Thank you, Vice Admiral White Dove! Long live Lieutenant Vice Admiral White Dove!"

Family members, does anyone understand?

As soon as Vice Admiral White Dove arrived, their living conditions underwent a dramatic transformation.

Who wouldn't love a boss like that!

As everyone bowed to him, Ivan nodded slightly and smiled as he walked toward the largest room.

Next, he's going to give the pirates on this island a big gift!

At this point, it would be several days before the Straw Hat Pirates arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

But before that, all the other Supernova had already arrived at Sabaody Archipelago.

With these energetic newcomers, Ivan, as a veteran on the high seas, has even more fun now.

Of course, he kept referring to them as newcomers, forgetting that he was only 20 years old, younger than most newcomers.

However, on this vast ocean, age is not the measure of status; strength is!

Ivan, who now possesses the strength of Admiral, can be considered a senior!

However, Ivan did not use his identity as the White Dove to make a move. Instead, he left his Wood Clone at the base and instantly teleported away, disappearing from the base.

At the same time, he used Wood Release to create a Spiral Mask, which he wore on his face, leaving only his two eyes exposed.

The moment the mask was put on, his demeanor completely changed from before; the gentle and composed Marine Vice Admiral Ivan vanished.

Emerging from the shadows is Madara Uchiha, a secret agent of the Shadow Garden!

Sabaody Grove 37, amusement Paradise area.

Bubbles floated in the air, refracting light and shadow, while tourists mingled and strolled along the streets, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Along a street, Kid and Killer walked side by side, passing between amusement park rides.

"Have you heard?" Kid asked casually, "That Vice Admiral White Dove from headquarters is coming to Sabaody soon."

Upon hearing this, Killer frowned slightly and solemnly advised, "Kid, behave yourself for a while. That White Dove Ivan is definitely not someone to mess with."

Keep in mind, he was recently promoted to Admiral candidate; his strength is absolutely formidable!

"Huh?" Kid scoffed, his eyes full of disdain. "Admiral candidate? It's just a title the Navy has given him. Why should I avoid him? I'm going to conquer the New World, and nobody can stop me. A mere Vice Admiral isn't even worth my attention."

Seeing his captain so arrogant and domineering, Killer shook his head helplessly and stopped trying to persuade him.

After all, knowing Kid's personality well, he knew that even if he tried to persuade him, it would be useless.

Just then, Kid changed the subject. "However, the Shadow Garden is quite interesting. They act mysteriously, are ruthless, and plot in the shadows, stirring up trouble across the world."

It's a pity their dreams were so naive. A group of people thinking about saving this person and protecting that person—it was utterly innocent.

In this vast ocean, there is no salvation to be found. Only by becoming strong enough to crush everything can one find true salvation.

His eyes were sharp, his fighting spirit surging, and he became more and more excited as he spoke, "I've wanted to meet the people of Shadow Garden for a long time. The outside world talks about them as if they're something special. If I could happen to run into one of them, that would be great. I want to tear him to pieces with my own hands!"

Once I defeat Shadow Garden, the world will know my strength; I'm in no way inferior to those who stir up trouble. I just lack an opportunity!

Killer, standing nearby, felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He shook his head helplessly and advised again, "Captain, don't be impulsive. The Shadow Garden is too dangerous. We are no match for them. Provoking them rashly will only lead to our destruction."

"Self-destruction?" Kid laughed, his eyes filled with absolute confidence. "How will we know who's stronger if we don't try?"

Weak?"

As the two were talking, they were completely unaware that in the shadows of the unseen streets, a figure wearing Spiral Mask stood silently, listening to every word of their conversation.

In the shadows, Ivan, wearing Spiral Mask, suddenly exuded a chilling aura.

He never expected that Kid would not only mock White Dove, but also shamelessly provoke Shadow Garden.

To insult his public identity and cross the line of his hidden forces is simply courting death.

"Very well, you bastard, you're not leaving Sabaody Archipelago alive, I said that!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished from his spot in an instant, carrying a chilling killing intent as he silently approached Kid and Killer.

At that moment, on the street of Grove 37, Kid was casually kicking at the pebbles at his feet, chatting idly with Killer.

But the next second, a bone-chilling cold swept over him without warning, rushing from his feet to the top of his head and instantly enveloping him.

The chill was so intense, it was as if a pair of icy eyes were staring intently at him, taking in his every move.

This feeling was something even Kid had never experienced when he was on the verge of death!

"Huh?" Kid abruptly stopped in his tracks, the arrogance on his face vanishing instantly, replaced by a hint of wariness and doubt.

He instinctively tensed up, glancing around suspiciously.

But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't find anything unusual, which made him even more puzzled.

What was that feeling I just experienced?

"What's wrong, Captain?" Killer noticed his unusual behavior and asked in a low voice.

Kid frowned, rubbed his temples, and said uncertainly, "It's nothing, probably just my imagination."

He shook his head, banishing the inexplicable chill from his mind, and regained his usual arrogance. He patted Killer on the shoulder. "Come on, let's keep looking around, and see if there are any clueless scumbags. I need to stretch my muscles."

The sea breeze, carrying the hustle and bustle of the amusement Paradise, swept towards the coast of the Sabaody Archipelago.

A massive ship, imposingly moored on the shore, was none other than the Kid Pirates ' "Victoria Punk."

Ivan stood on the shallows, his gaze sweeping over the ship.

The flag atop the ship fluttered in the wind, bearing the distinctive insignia of the Kid Pirates.

Needless to say, this was the target he was looking for.

He strode lightly towards the large ship, his movements as leisurely as if he were taking a stroll. Before long, he attracted the attention of the pirates stationed on the ship.
