Hanging up the Den Den Mushi,
a subtle tension filled the Admiral-class warship.
"Ryuya, what's so funny?"
Kaya asked, beside Ryuya.
"Nothing, just thinking of something amusing."
If Sengoku knew he was both Admiral White Dove and Zero of the Dawn Bird organization, what would his expression be?
After all, he had revealed the entire operation plan!
If anyone in the Navy was best at leaking information, it was Fleet Admiral Sengoku!
"This is a dangerous mission. You guys go back. I'll go to Sabaody Archipelago and return to Marineford in a few days."
"I'm going too~"
Roran, mischievously, spread her cyan wings, flew into Ryuya's arms, and hugged his neck.
Ryuya gently pushed Roran away, "Go train. Prioritize the Rokushiki."
"Okay, but come back soon."
Ryuya nodded, using the Bijo Bijo no Mi to create an illusion, transforming his appearance into an old man.
Then!
The Eight Gates Formation opened!
Ryuya's cells became ten times more active!
Jumping from the Admiral-class warship,
Ryuya stepped onto the sea.
Flashing through the water, Ryuya disappeared from the women's sight.
Ain and the others, witnessing Ryuya's power, were shocked and determined to work harder!
To become even stronger!
A silent current flowed towards Sabaody Archipelago.
Two days passed.
The population of Sabaody Archipelago had increased significantly.
The taverns were packed, with no empty seats.
Even Shakky's bar was full.
Rayleigh, immersed in gambling and alcohol, noticed the change in Sabaody Archipelago.
Unbeknownst to many, many of the people walking the streets, drinking in taverns, and eating at barbeque restaurants…
were undercover Navy soldiers.
Their goal: to capture Zero!
Sengoku was determined!
This time, only success was acceptable!
As the people of Sabaody Archipelago chatted and laughed, a massive ship slowly descended from the sky.
Those who saw it felt a chill.
Fear spread through their hearts.
They knew who owned the ship!
The one who defeated Big Mom!
In their minds, Zero was the man who defeated Big Mom and became a Yonko!
"Zero is here!"
"Did he also want something from the auction?"
"I have a bad feeling about this."
…
The islanders speculated.
In the auction house, Doflamingo also received the news.
"Zero!!! That guy's here!"
Doflamingo muttered, shocked.
He knew the Navy's methods.
If Zero appeared openly, the Navy would surely act!
"Jack, contact your captain. We might need his help!"
Jack frowned, his aura spreading.
"Zero? Mentioning Captain Kaido's name will deter him! Captain Kaido is the strongest!"
Doflamingo felt uneasy.
This man had defeated Big Mom!
As the cloaked Ryuya landed on Sabaody Archipelago, everyone instinctively took a step back.
As if Ryuya radiated a terrifying aura.
Ignoring the onlookers,
Ryuya said to Kuina, "Kuina, anything you want to eat? The auction is tomorrow. Let's relax today. It's your first time in Sabaody Archipelago."
Kuina, despite her ambition, was still a child at heart.
She nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling, "Yes, Master! This is my first time seeing an island full of bubbles. The Grand Line is amazing!"
Sabaody Archipelago was made of giant trees, with roots forming the ground, releasing bubbles.
Bubble culture was everywhere. Bubble cars, bubble wheels, houses built on bubbles… bubble culture permeated Sabaody!
Before exploring Sabaody, let's have dinner. I know a good tavern.
Ryuya took Kuina to Shakky's bar.
Upon arrival, they heard loud noises.
The bar was packed.
Many were drunk,
unconcerned about the consequences.
Or perhaps they were all from the same pirate crew.
As Ryuya took another step,
a nearly drunk man slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and pointed at Ryuya, "Hey, what are you doing? Can't you see we've reserved this place? Get lost! Or I'll kill you!"
He threw his bottle on the floor.
Shakky, behind the bar, frowned.
"This isn't a place for you to get drunk and cause trouble. Go somewhere else, or face the consequences!"
Shakky looked at Ryuya, her pupils constricting…
