But when the fish surfaced, Sengoku's expression turned ashen. He was so terrified that his whole body trembled. He dropped the fishing rod and stumbled back six or seven steps…
"You!" Sengoku's face was filled with extreme horror. His eyes held deep terror. "Why you again!!"
What the hook had caught was none other than the Abyss Dominator, the Fearful Great Demon King!
"Hehehehe…"
Vladimir let out a sinister chuckle. "Sengoku, Sengoku, we meet again."
Sengoku's shred of fear immediately allowed him to become the master of the dream once more, a half-dream master.
"Fearful Great Demon King!"
Sengoku's mind was unsettled, his resolve wavering. The previous dream uncontrollably replayed in his mind. "You're fake! You don't exist! It's just a dream!"
He shouted sternly.
Vladimir continued to laugh, black mist swirling around him, emanating killing intent, destruction, desire, jealousy—all human negative emotions.
Suddenly, Vladimir extended his right hand and grasped at the air.
"What!?"
Sengoku couldn't believe it. He found himself being forcefully grasped by an invisible giant hand and lifted into the air.
"Is it really just a dream?" Vladimir chuckled. "I am the Fearful Great Demon King. I have recently awakened and will bring destruction to the world in the future!"
...
"Recently awakened, will bring destruction to the world in the future!"
Vladimir's words instilled fear in Sengoku.
"Destroy the world!?" He stared intently at the Great Demon King before him, struggling to break free from the restraint. "You want to destroy the world?"
"That's right. It is destiny. Since I have awakened, this world has already decayed and reached a point where it needs to be destroyed."
Vladimir spoke as if reminiscing. "The last time I awakened was thirty thousand years ago. You, the Navy, as the guardians of world peace, are naturally my primary target. Hahahaha…"
To deepen Sengoku's fear, the best method was naturally to shatter peace and bring destruction to the world.
Of course, merely saying this in a dream had no substantial meaning.
Therefore, Vladimir had already instructed his clone to act.
"Hehehehe… Next, I'll start with you, the Fleet Admiral!"
Vladimir waved his hand, and terrifying torture instruments immediately appeared around them.
He had already seized control of the dream. With a single thought, he could manipulate the dream and change some torture devices, which was a trivial matter.
"These are interrogation tools specifically designed to deal with souls from the eighteen layers of the abyss. Sengoku, you will experience them thoroughly!"
Looking at the evil smile on his face, Sengoku's fear grew, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"You demon!" he roared.
Destroy the world?
Given the power he displayed in the previous dream, who in the world could stop him?
...
In the New World, in a certain sea area.
A small wooden boat sailed against the wind, slowly heading towards the Starting Three Islands.
On the small wooden boat were four individuals: Shadow Fiend, Ghost Grandma, and the other two.
They had left Dragon Island and were heading to Mystoria to temporarily house Nini Poland with Doflamingo.
According to Shadow Fiend's wishes, only Nini needed to be brought along. As for Ghost Grandma and Andy Poland, they could go wherever they pleased. Unfortunately, these two were determined to follow.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Shadow Fiend looked up, gazing into the distance.
"What's wrong?" Ghost Grandma asked in a deep voice.
"I've been given a mission, so I need to leave for a while."
Shadow Fiend glanced at the three. Before they could feel happy, he continued, "I will have other executives 'protect' you and escort you safely to Mystoria."
Bullshit protection, it was clearly escort!
Andy inwardly grumbled, but he didn't dare to have any rebellious thoughts. After witnessing Qin Emperor, he had lost all hope.
With a flash of red light, a figure suddenly appeared. It was the Nine-Tailed Fox.
"Old Master Jiu, you watch them. I'm going to complete my mission."
With that, Shadow Fiend's body suddenly dispersed into black mist and vanished.
Simultaneously, at Marine Headquarters, in the Marshal's office.
Sengoku was slumped over his desk, dozing, but cold sweat trickled from his face, as if he were experiencing some nightmare.
At this moment, a wisp of black smoke emerged from his shadow, twisting and gradually forming a human shape.
Shadow Fiend calmly observed him. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Surprised, aren't you? The Fearful Great Demon King was causing trouble in your dream, and I was making a move here!"
Saying this, Shadow Fiend looked at the desk.
On the desk were five documents detailing pirates.
After a brief perusal, Shadow Fiend understood.
These were five potential candidates for the Seven Warlords. When the Seven Warlords were first formed, the incident of attacking the Impel Down occurred, which was like lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own feet. This time, the Navy was much more cautious.
"Heh heh, as expected, they chose five relatively 'smart' pirates. The highest bounty is 380 million, and the lowest is 120 million. Of course, the lower bounties are because they haven't committed many evil deeds and don't pose a high threat to the World Government."
Thinking this, Shadow Fiend picked up a pen from the side and began writing on the five intelligence reports with swift, flowing strokes.
