Long Ring Long Land Island:

Inside the art store;

"How is he doing?" asked Rob, who was quietly enjoying a cigarette while sitting in the hallway of the empty art store.

Without looking up at Dr. Kureha, he inquired about Worldu's condition.

"If it weren't for the art store's ability to freeze his bad condition, he would have definitely died. The burns on his body are severe, and although he has great vitality, a large part of his internal organs, including his heart, were burned," Kureha calmly replied. It was the first time she had seen such fatal injuries in her professional career.

"This is normal. He was surrounded by three monster-level admirals. He was lucky to survive without being killed," Rob said quietly. His calm demeanor contained a coldness that made everyone who heard him shudder for some reason.

"Well, since he's lucky enough to the existence of such a miraculous ability in the art store that refuses to let its customers die, I can use my medical abilities and the heal-heal Devil Fruit ability to cure him in three days."

"Don't worry, boy. It wasn't your fault that he was ambushed," Kureha smiled to ease Rob's sharp mood.

"I know," Rob's reply was brief.

"Sorry, man. It appears that I requested our doctor's services just as you were hoping to have her attend to you, is that correct?" Rob turned to look at Arashi, who was standing nearby in silence.

"No! No problem at all!" Arashi quickly responded.

"Don't worry, I'll compensate you. You can use the teleportation room to return to Shimotsuki Town, and I'll give you the right to admit your sick mother to the medical room at the art store there. No matter how bad she is, she won't get worse inside," Rob said, pointing to the teleportation room after making some adjustments to his storefront (System window).

At this point, the existence of the teleportation room in the art store was no secret among Rob's followers, but outsiders still had their doubts.

"Thank you, Guild Master! I really don't know how to describe the magnitude of my gratitude-" Arashi began to express his gratitude, but Rob interrupted him.

"No need. You're already a member of my guild, and helping you in your plight is helping my guild. You can show your gratitude by working hard when your training starts. Kureha and her medical staff will come to Shimotsuki Town three days later to start treating your mother."

After saying that, Rob stood up as he was also preparing to leave. He still had some unfinished business with the Navy. The progress of the war of change had been smooth, with almost no human losses from either side.

But since the release of the anime series Akame Ga Kill, which directly challenges the authority of the government and undermines its influence, much like the empire in AGK, the world government appears to have taken a turn towards utilizing its corrupt tactics.

This was the world government that Rob knew well. They still hadn't completely lost faith in their strength, and they still wanted to challenge Rob and deliver a surprise blow.

And this time, they had almost succeeded in killing the legendary hunter No. 1 in his guild.

"I wonder if they're ready to receive my anger," Rob mused.

...

In Marigoa, a few hundred kilometers away from Rob's current location, stands the majestic red line at a high altitude, hugging the clouds.

The Dragon Queen AKA IMU-Sama opened her eyes which shone like blood jewels, with emerald green irises engraved with black circles that resembled a puzzle. A smile appeared on her face as she gazed beyond the walls, trying to feel something behind the sea horizon.

"Hof~ he's undoubtedly angry... fufu~ are you coming for me, Rob-chan~?" Imu laughed after sensing the current situation.

"Well then, come on~ I'll play with you," she said.

The manga book in her hand was open on a page displaying the Golden Lion pirate flag, which consists of a skull, large yellow hair resembling a lion's mane, and a yellow beard, along with a steering wheel in the background. This symbol was printed on the sail of a flying ship!

This scene takes place twenty years after Shiki's promise to make everyone who offended him pay, during his attack on Marineford, which happened twenty years prior.

"Hahaha~ this manga gets more exciting with each chapter," said the Queen of this world.

"One Piece" Events:

Marineford:

Returning to the current time context,

Panic overwhelmed the Marines who had been performing their duties as usual until a huge flying ship suddenly appeared, bringing death with it.

"This is crazy," Fleet Admiral Sengoku said as he looked outside with gloomy eyes.

The old man next to him replied, "I only know one man who can pull off something like this..." It was Garp.

In fact, the scene outside was already shocking.

Dozens of huge warships were suspended in the air over Marineford, and sirens blared as the Golden Lion flying island-like ship arrived directly above the Marineford.

"Sengoku announced, "A survivor pirate from the days of Gol D. Roger..."

"Where was he hiding for 20 years?" wondered Garp. "The man defeated by Roger and arrested, but who broke out of prison by cutting off his legs to free himself from the shackles... Shiki the Golden Lion!" Garp continued saying.

At that moment, Shiki appeared and said, "This is a warning," pointing with his hands. The floating Navy ships began to fall one by one onto the most sacred place for the Marines—their headquarters.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Explosions continued to occur with the fall of each warship, and dozens of Marines died either in the explosions or the strong waves resulting from the fall of dozens of huge ships.

Garp and Sengoku could only watch helplessly as everything unfolded before them.

"Fire! Fire!" A Vice-Admiral ordered his soldiers to shoot from the garrison cannons at the ship of Shiki, but the Golden Lion's vessel had already floated away, leaving Marineford in disarray.

"Shouldn't he have stayed quiet and remained a legend? Why did he come back after all these years to seek revenge against the world?" wondered Garp.

Finally, the only thing that echoed through the sky was the Golden Lion's laughter: "Jihahahahaha!!"

•———•———•———•———•———•———•

Inside the Hall of the Five Elders:

"Damn! He's returned after twenty years!" exclaimed one of the Gorosei, the bald one.

"What does he mean by warning?" the blond Gorosei was also annoyed by the words of the Golden Lion.

"Why didn't Sengoku and Garp do anything to keep an old and decrepit man like him in Marineford forever?" Saturn chipped his teeth angrily.

"Obviously, they were protecting the Marineford center. That's why the Golden Lion didn't dare to go far and throw those warships at them," the long-bearded Gorosei said calmly.

"But this is really a blow to our reputation. One pirate attacked Marineford twice in the same volume. After this, any random pirate will dare to attack the Marineford," the mustachioed Gorosei's eyes flashed with an angry gleam.

"This is the Golden Lion, after all. He's the only one capable of such a feat because of his devil fruit. Let's see what he will do next and for what purpose he came to warn our Navy."

...

Marineford:

"Damn you, Shiki!" shouted Sengoku.

"That bastard attacked Marineford again! Is our headquarters a place for him to roam, come and go as he pleases?" Even Kong, the former Fleet Admiral and currently the commander-in-chief of the world government, could not tolerate the events taking place in the manga.

"His strength is still terrifying even after all these years," Zephyr said calmly.

"Bwahahaha! I look very handsome in this scene, the sunset on my face gives me an ethereal character, right, Sengoku?" Garp laughed as usual.

"Garp, shut up!" exclaimed Sengoku.

"This Shiki really treats us like easy targets to move... if we weren't afraid of him destroying the headquarters, we definitely wouldn't have taken a step," added Sengoku.

"He's already escaped so quickly. What a coward, Hmph!" snorted Garp.

Sengoku and Kong couldn't tolerate the situation in the manga at all.

Just a few scenes ago, in previous chapters, Shiki managed to destroy half of Marineford and then was imprisoned in Impel Down for two years. But here he is again, after 20 years in the manga, causing the death of many soldiers and the loss of dozens of precious warships.

"The question must be raised, when did Shiki manage to touch all those warships unnoticed? There's no doubt that our future security system is a joke," Tsuru always touched on the most important things.

"I think the security system of Marineford needs to be upgraded after this volume."
