New world.
Aboard Moby Dick.
Whitebeard sat there with a bottle in his hand, reading the newspaper, and said to himself: "The Golden Lion... has been planning for so many years, has it finally come out?"
After Golden Lion escaped from prison, he came to have a drink with him once and said that he would disappear temporarily for a while. Since then, there has been no news for twenty years.
…
Chambord Islands.
In a bar somewhere, Pluto Rayleigh was holding a wine bottle, looking at the newspaper in his hand, and said with a deep look in his eyes: "Do you still want to do such a thing at this time?"
Although Roger and Whitebeard often clashed, they would sometimes sit and drink together, but Golden Lion and them had always been sworn enemies from beginning to end.
Now that something like this was suddenly done in the East China Sea, even Pluto Rayleigh's temperament was frowning and annoyed. If he hadn't been old, he might have made a trip to the East China Sea.
…
The first half of the Grand Line.
Somewhere on the sea, a ghostly boat is drifting with the current.
In front of the boat, there was a tragic scene, with countless pieces of wood scattered everywhere, and countless corpses floating on the sea. The flag hanging was the flag of the 'Admiral Creek' of the East China Sea.
There was only one person in the boat.
The world's greatest swordsman... Hawkeye Mihawk!
While wandering around the sea to pass the time, he happened to encounter Admiral Creek's fleet embarking on the great voyage from the East China Sea, so he easily defeated it.
Just as Hawkeye was sitting in the boat and continuing to slowly pursue the last ship of the Creek fleet, the phone bug in his pocket suddenly rang.
On the other side of the phone bug is the world government.
After conveying the Shichibukai emergency summons order, he briefly described the specific situation.
"Golden Lion Shiji..."
After hanging up the phone, Hawkeye looked thoughtful.
Like Roger and Whitebeard, Golden Lion was a legendary pirate of the previous era. When Golden Lion became famous in the sea, he was not the world's greatest swordsman, but just a slightly famous swordsman.
After looking at the sea in the distance, Hawkeye sat in the boat and headed towards the East China Sea.
Although he did not comment on the World Government's order to summon the Shichibukai, he himself went to sea to kill boring time, so there was no harm in going there.
What's more, this Creek fleet seems to come from the East China Sea - Hawkeye recalled the words of a certain pirate who shouted that they were the strongest fleet in the East China Sea.
…
An urgent summons from the Shichibukai.
The navy's large-scale operation, coupled with the name of one of the three legendary pirates, Golden Lion Shiki, and a large number of pirate groups gathered by Golden Lion who were willing to follow.
For a while.
The eyes of the entire world are focused on the East China Sea!
…
Sky Island Bika.
Inside the palace.
After the East China Sea incident broke out, Rhodes naturally got the news immediately. After getting the news, his first reaction was a little surprised.
I had the impression that the Golden Lion was indeed mutating some kind of beast, but it probably wasn't at this time, and it was defeated by Luffy before it broke out.
Calculating the time, Luffy probably just went to sea not long ago.
"Is it because of me?"
Ross showed a look of thought.
In fact, his guess was right, because he and the Golden Lion had a deep conflict. After he defeated Whitebeard, the Golden Lion was shocked and accelerated his plan, and finally implemented it one step ahead of schedule.
"The government has issued an emergency summons to the Shichibukai, and the Navy has also dispatched a fleet. It is said that Garp rushed back to the East China Sea overnight. What are you going to do?"
Robin stood next to Ross and asked Ross.
Her tone was calm, but there was also a hint of coldness in this calmness. It was obvious that the golden lion's behavior of bringing out ferocious beasts and slaughtering them wantonly in the East China Sea made her very uncomfortable.
"The Shichibukai called for an emergency? It seems that the World Government is also angry."
Ross shook his head, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and said: "But that guy Golden Lion, I still have an account to settle with him."
He has always asked his intelligence troops to keep an eye on the Golden Lion, but because the Golden Lion flies in the sky all year round, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, unless he takes the initiative to expose himself, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and his people will not be found at all.
Now.
The golden lion jumped out in the East China Sea.
Nowadays, Ross has regarded the world as his own property for many times. The Golden Lion went to the East China Sea to slaughter wantonly, which itself was something that made Ross unhappy, not to mention the previous grudge against the Golden Lion. Not solved yet!
After Ross made his decision, he stood up and said to Robin:
"Let Yixiao come over."
"good."
Robin nodded and took out the phone bug to inform Fujitora.
Rhodes didn't plan to bring Robin with him to the East China Sea this time. The Shichibukai call-up order, coupled with the large-scale deployment of the navy, Garp, and the leader of the Revolutionary Army Long, who may also be in the East China Sea, the East China Sea is now completely a pool of muddy water. .
Although Robin's strength is not bad, he is still much weaker and unable to protect himself in the face of existences such as Hawkeye, Tyrant Bear, and Admiral.
The purpose of this trip to the East China Sea is to personally kill the Golden Lion Shiji. Bringing Fujitora, who is powerful and has the ability to fly, is the best choice.
The only trouble is that if you take Fujitora to the East China Sea, there will be no one to suppress Amazhi Xiliu if you stay in Ten Thousand Countries, but Ross doesn't think that Amazhi Xiliu dares to disobey his order and cause trouble.
"Speaking of which, the timing is really unlucky. The Straw Hats are going straight into hell."
Thinking of Luffy and his group, Ross couldn't help but chuckle.
With the sudden attack of ferocious beasts, coupled with the navy's large-scale fleet, and the emergency summons of King Shichibukai, the situation in the East China Sea is nothing less than the outbreak of a war!
You must know that Luffy and his gang have not even set foot on the Grand Route at this moment. If they are unlucky, they may die in the East China Sea.
"The Straw Hats?"
Robin had already informed Fujitora, and couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Ross's words.
Ross thought that the Straw Hats were not famous yet and were not well known, so he said: "Well, they are a little famous pirate group, but the captain is Garp's grandson, and the cook on the ship is Reiju's brother Sanji. "
When Robin heard this, he couldn't help being slightly startled and said: "Garp's grandson ran away and became a pirate?"
Ross said nonchalantly: "His son is still the leader of the revolutionary army."
Robin was slightly moved and said: "Dragon is Garp's son?!"
Seeing Robin's surprised look, Ross realized that this information had not yet been exposed. Except for a few people such as Long and Garp, not even Ivankov, the Demon King, knew about it.
"That's right."
Ross nodded and responded: "If you investigate in detail, you should be able to find some clues."
