As soon as Garp finished speaking, Sengoku punched him in the head, making Garp's eyes water from the pain.
"You care-free idiot, this is a meeting between two Four Emperors crews!"
"It could lead to a naval war, and then the balance of the seas would be broken. Who knows what kind of disasters would be triggered!"
As he spoke, Sengoku clenched his fists, his expression grim.
"You must keep a close eye on Whitebeard's side. If they make any moves, report back immediately."
Hearing this, the messenger saluted and then said with a troubled expression:
"Uh, right Fleet Admiral, the Five Elders said that the new Seven Warlords need to be decided soon!"
Sengoku's expression grew serious upon hearing this.
He then picked up Raynor's wanted poster, looked at it, and muttered to himself:
"New Seven Warlords..."
As he spoke, Sengoku directly slammed Raynor's wanted poster onto the table and said with a stern expression:
"Announce this: Tomorrow, we will hold a Seven Warlords meeting!"
...
Luffy and Raynor headed towards the island where Kurei Kai lived.
Along the way, Luffy looked around left and right, his attitude full of novelty towards everything.
If Raynor hadn't dragged him along, it would have been a problem even to get back by tomorrow.
Looking at Luffy being dragged back by Raynor, Nami couldn't help but frown.
"Seriously, you took too long. It's almost dawn."
"Don't forget you owe me two hundred thousand."
Hearing this, Luffy immediately jumped up excitedly.
Then he pulled a large dung beetle from his pants and said:
"Look, this is an Emperor Mantis Beetle, a very rare species."
Hearing this, Usopp's eyes lit up immediately, and he ran over saying:
"Wow, such a big dung beetle is indeed rare. Hey, Luffy, let me see it."
Hearing this, Luffy's face twisted, and he immediately put the Emperor Mantis Beetle back into his pocket.
"No!"
Hearing this, Usopp's eyes welled up with tears, and he grabbed Luffy's pants, shaking them left and right.
"Hey, hey, don't be so stingy. Just let me see it, just for a look."
Nami was somewhat speechless. These two weren't focusing on the important matters at all.
Nami strode over angrily and punched both of them.
"You two, get serious!"
Saying that, Nami turned around and looked at Raynor.
"Did you get back the old man's gold?"
Hearing this, Raynor directly untied the bundle on his back and opened it in front of everyone.
A golden light met Nami's eyes.
Nami's heart almost melted.
She held the pile of gold in her arms and rubbed it fiercely, which made Raynor a little scared.
Nami, holding at least three hundred pounds of gold, didn't seem to exert any effort.
Indeed, the combat power of the Straw Hat crew had to be Nami.
Although Nami loved money, this gold was Kurei Kai's faith.
It was absolute proof that Shandora definitely existed.
He would never be greedy for such wealth.
Nami carefully wrapped the gold and handed it to Kurei Kai.
Just then, Raynor noticed that their ship had already been repaired.
The entire hull was reinforced with sheet metal, and the top was specifically decorated with a rooster's comb.
Symbolizing good luck.
Seeing Raynor's gaze, Kurei Kai walked directly to Raynor and said:
"I believe the Going Merry can now withstand the impact of the Knock-Up Stream."
"In another hour, the Knock-Up Stream should form, and then you can ascend to Sky Island."
Hearing this, Usopp and Chopper's legs still trembled.
But now, going to Sky Island was basically a sure thing, so there was no point in them saying anything more.
But just then, Raynor asked such a question.
"What are the survival chances for this trip to Sky Island?"
Hearing this, Kurei Kai lit a cigarette, took a puff, and slowly opened his eyes, saying:
"Since I've been here, I've experienced the Knock-Up Stream twenty-three times. No one has ever dared to use the Knock-Up Stream to ascend to Sky Island."
"Let's just say, one hundred percent."
It would have been better if Kurei Kai hadn't said this. As soon as he did, Usopp flopped onto the ground, weakly extending one hand and saying:
"No, I have a disease that will kill me as soon as I go to Sky Island..."
Saying that, he lay there playing dead.
Chopper, scared, turned pale and paced back and forth.
"Doctor, doctor, where is the doctor? Usopp is dying!"
Hearing this, Usopp weakly tapped Chopper on the head.
"Hey, you are the doctor..."
No one paid attention to Usopp and Chopper's charade.
The Straw Hat crew decided to use the last hour to get a good night's sleep.
To greet the journey to Sky Island in the best condition.
...
Grand Line, New World.
A huge ship lay across the sea.
A tall old man wearing a Marine cape.
His body was covered in IV drips, and he held a wine gourd in his hand, continuously pouring wine into his mouth.
After drinking, he slammed the wine gourd on the ground, looking at a thin, sallow-skinned kid in front of him.
"Hey, hey, when did that Red-Haired brat get so arrogant!"
Hearing this, a thin man with a sallow complexion, standing below Whitebeard, swallowed and couldn't help but back away.
His heart filled with dread.
Was this the world's strongest man, Four Emperors Whitebeard? He truly lived up to his reputation.
However, thinking of his own boss, Four Emperors Shanks, their status should be equal.
With this thought, the sallow-skinned man straightened his chest and said:
"This is a letter written by our captain for you. You should read it. As fellow Four Emperors, we hope you'll give us some face."
Hearing this, Whitebeard took the letter and immediately tore it to shreds.
He wasn't curious at all about what was written on it.
Seeing this, the sallow-skinned man was horrified and stepped back.
Trembling, he said:
"Hey, aren't you afraid of causing a war between the Four Emperors by doing this!"
Hearing this, Whitebeard picked up the wine gourd next to him and took a large gulp of wine.
Due to the violent movement, several of the IV needles broke.
A beautiful nurse in a pink uniform kindly reattached them for him.
"Huh? You call me and the brat having a war? Go back and tell that Red-Haired brat to bring the best wine when he comes!"
Saying that, Whitebeard clenched his fist, and a white halo slowly appeared on his hand.
He then slammed it into the void, and the surrounding sea immediately churned.
The giant sea kings nestled at the bottom of the sea, trembling, scattered in all directions.
The space seemed to be torn apart, and the sea churned up colossal waves.
The most terrifying thing was that the sallow-skinned man could feel his own body being torn apart, his internal organs violently shaking.
