Marine Corps Headquarters
Marinford.
Although given the actual terrain, it would be more appropriate to call this place 'Mountain' rather than the Marine Headquarters.
Yeruashi's ship rode a huge wave over a hundred meters high, caused by the falling meteorites.
Robin stared at the ruined Marinford.
It was only as they sailed farther and farther that she began to come to her senses and realized exactly what had just happened.
Thinking about everything that had happened, Robin couldn't help but stare at Yeruashi.
Yeruashi had not only invaded the Marine headquarters with her and crushed the strongest of the Marines one by one, but had even completely destroyed Marinford and left with her completely unscathed!
Although Robin had felt from the beginning that her trip to Marinford would not end in anything bad, she had hoped that Yeruashi would simply cause a ruckus and then quickly escape with her....
Everything played out according to a completely different scenario!
Robin took a deep breath, looking at the serene Yeruashi.
"Sir, are you... A god?"
Although Yeruashi's appearance is not at all different from that of an ordinary person, in Robin's opinion, his strength has already gone far beyond what a human might be capable of.
Even if Yeruashi is a human, he can safely be considered the closest to God of all people!
Yeruashi, who was standing at the bow of the ship with his silver-white hair and white cloak billowing in the wind, turned to Robin with a smile, "No."
"I am an ordinary person, completely ordinary...a simple traveler."
He looked skyward with undisguised dejection and boredom, "Being a so-called 'god' is about as boring and pointless as it gets..."
Robin looked at Yeruashi's back, simply not knowing how to react to these words.
...
Red Line.
Holy Land of Marijoa.
In an office on the top floor of Pangaea Castle, a Gorosei meeting was taking place.
"Kaido is facing the Whitebeard Pirates again..."
"Maybe we should make a move?"
"There's no need to rush, now we have problems that can't be solved in a short time, otherwise, this might actually be a good opportunity."
"Zephyr only formally remains in office and no longer performs the duties of an admiral, and Garp doesn't listen to orders at all, plus SP-0 was recently overloaded. If you send Sengoku to the new world, there may be trouble here, in case of an unexpected incident."
The Gorosei sat at a round table, alternately expressing their thoughts.
The waters of the second half of the Grand Line, now known as the New World, became the battleground of many powerful pirates.
There are not only powerful pirate teams led by Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mama and other monsters, but also strong individuals, such as 'Hawkeye': Dracule Mihawk.
Hawkeye has not yet become the best swordsman in the world, but he can already survive alone in the stormy waters of the New World and has gained a great fame.
"Speaking of..."
"I have a suggestion."
One of the Gorosei narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Let the pirates handle the pirates.... what do you think?"
The other frowned, "Are you suggesting we call the pirates into service? What's the point? The weak pirates can't stop the strong ones, and the strong ones will never obey us Navy."
"No."
"I propose to grant pirates, who have a good reputation, a legal status and the right to plunder. By placing them in different regions of Grand Line, we can effectively curb the development of pirates, moreover, it will facilitate the formation of a balance."
This suggestion caused the other Gorosei to fall into deep reflection.
As leaders of the World Government, the Gorosei were, of course, fully aware of the importance of achieving balance.
Such a solution to the growing pirate problem seemed to them quite acceptable and feasible.
However, if it is to be implemented, it cannot be determined immediately, but first a sufficiently comprehensive plan must be worked out and proposed at the World Conference.
At least let the kings of the vassal states of the world government know about it.
After reflecting for a moment.
One of the Gorosei said, "This is quite acceptable, but first I would suggest looking at the situation in the New World. Most likely the traveler is already in the New World, his collision with other pirates may have a strong impact on the situation at sea."
"Good."
"With the Traveler's power, you can complicate and simplify the situation in the New World, but in any case, it's best to observe him for now and not rush to influence the situation at sea."
The Gorosei nodded.
But.
The door suddenly opened and a World Government official burst into the room.
The official's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and his eyes were filled with disbelief, "Gor.... Gorosei... we have a problem!!!"
The Gorosei frowned.
One of them said calmly, "Why panic like that?!"
The other one tapped the ground with his cane and said irritably, "The heavens didn't collapse, so calm down and explain the situation slowly."
The officer took several deep breaths, forcibly calming his emotions, and said in a shaky voice, "No.... The traveler has invaded Marinford!"
Drops of cold sweat slipped from his forehead and trickled down the officer's cheeks.
The Gorosei frowned slightly at the officer's nervous words.
"Marinford invasion? That bastard's got the guts!"
"Did he make the same mess as the Golden Lion in the past? This can't be ignored! Tell Marinford that they must arrest the Traveler at all costs! Escape is absolutely unacceptable!!!"
One of the Gorosei tapped the ground with his staff and said coldly.
They could not have expected that instead of going to the New World, the Traveler would decide to attack Marinford.
This news, of course, surprised them for a moment and then infuriated them.
Now the sea is more chaotic than ever and they are willing to put up with a lot, but the invasion of Marinford is absolutely unforgivable!
The strategy of observing the Traveler's influence on the situation in the New World, discussed earlier, must now be cancelled immediately!
But.
Instead of immediately accepting Gorosei's order, the official helplessly said, "Already... it is too late, gentlemen Gorosei..."
"The traveler somehow caused the fall of two huge meteorites, each of which exceeded the size of the entire headquarters..."
"At this moment, all of Marinford is in ruins, and Fleet Admiral Kong is seriously injured, Vice Admiral Garp and Admiral Sengoku are also injured, the Navy is unable to mount a pursuit..."
Silence.
In the room only the loud panting of the officer could be heard.
The Gorosei abruptly stopped moving and their minds went blank.
Auge!
Strike. Strike. Strike.
One of the staffs of one of the Gorosei fell to the smooth, clean floor and rolled several times.
After that, there was absolute silence in the room.
