Above the new sky island, the atmosphere was very tense.
Because the Marine Headquarters had called again urging them, they now needed to meet Ryuen as soon as possible to discuss the next plan, because Kong, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, had arrived at Marine Headquarters, ready to investigate the unusual behavior of the Marines during this time.
Sengoku and others were a little bit worried.
As Nojiko and the others waited anxiously, three figures finally appeared in everyone's sight.
That's right, it was Ryuen, Nami, and Kuina!
Not only did they return safely, but even more astonishingly, they brought a huge thing – the Pluton warship!
Although the surface of the Pluton warship was still covered by a layer of platinum-colored mysterious clouds,
But for Nojiko and others who already knew about it,
Such a huge size,
Apart from the Pluton warship that Nami and Kuina brought from Wano Country, it could not be anything else.
Nojiko's eyes were fixed on Ryuen and the others, and her eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction and sadness,
She said in an annoyed tone: "You guys are finally willing to come back! If I hadn't called to urge you, wouldn't you have gone somewhere else to have fun?".
Hearing this,
Nami didn't care,
Instead, she walked forward with a smile,
And put her arm around Nojiko's shoulder, and said with a sweet smile:
"Hehe~ Actually, we really had this plan.
But, Ryuen insisted on coming back to correct your thoughts, so we had to listen obediently and rush back..."
As she said,
Nami winked playfully,
And then began to talk non-stop to Nojiko and the others about what Ryuen had said to her and Kuina before.
After Nami finished speaking, the whole hall fell into a brief and heavy silence.
Nojiko, Robin, and the other members were sitting there quietly, as if they were deeply shocked by what she had just said.
Yes,
The reason why their dream exploration team chose to cooperate with the Marines and even the Revolutionary Army,
Isn't it because the World Nobles are pressing harder and harder, wanting to completely eliminate them? Everyone thought to themselves, feeling helpless and angry at this reality.
Just then, a cry of surprise suddenly came: "Wait!".
Robin seemed to have suddenly come back to her senses,
Her eyes sharply fixed on Ryuen, who was standing leisurely on the side,
And asked urgently: "Ryuen, Nami just said, your devil fruit has awakened?".
With Robin's sudden question,
The others who were still immersed in their own thoughts were instantly pulled back to reality, and they all turned their eyes to Ryuen like they were shocked.
Everyone's eyes were full of surprise, curiosity, and expectation.
After all, before this, even when Ryuen had not awakened his devil fruit ability, the strength he showed was already quite amazing.
What's more,
What he has is an extremely rare and powerful mythical zoan devil fruit!
At this moment,
Everyone knew in their hearts,
If Ryuen's devil fruit really awakened successfully, then his strength would definitely get a qualitative leap.
Perhaps,
After awakening, he would be comparable to the two legendary devil fruits that were hailed as god-level,
And might even be better!
Thinking of this, the heartbeats of everyone present couldn't help but speed up a bit, and their breathing became a little short.
Ryuen didn't hide it from everyone and directly admitted:
"It has awakened, so now we don't actually need to cooperate with the Marines to deal with the World Nobles?
But in order to completely kill the World Nobles, let's still respond to the Marines.
Nojiko, you contact the Marines and tell them that we can cooperate with them.
Next, we will appear at Sabaody Archipelago, I believe they understand how to deal with the World Government's investigation.".
Nojiko responded with excitement: "I know, then I will contact them now.".
The others also showed excitement on their faces, Ryuen's devil fruit had really awakened!
"Ryuen!".
"You brat, you came back without telling your mother, do you still have me in your eyes…" Suddenly, Bellemere's angry voice came in.
All of a sudden,
In the hall, everyone looked at Ryuen, the expressions on their faces seemed to say: You're done for…
Ryuen glared at these bastards fiercely, and then immediately greeted the entrance direction, and at this time Bellemere also appeared at the entrance:
"How is that possible, I love Bellemere the most, I haven't seen Melmel in a long time, I miss you so much!".
While speaking,
He quickly hugged Bellemere.
Bellemere was stunned for a moment, and then a look of love and concern appeared on her slightly tired face:
"Ryuen, you've worked hard, if it wasn't for those children, you wouldn't have to be so passive.".
The others in the hall were stunned, they didn't expect Ryuen to have this trick…
That's right,
When a mother is suddenly hugged by her child, she can't get angry anymore. (Personally tested and effective!)
Ryuen let go of Bellemere, and said with a relaxed expression:
"Bellemere, you don't have to worry about us, our strength is very strong now, protecting you is no problem at all.".
"Hehehe~".
"The little guy from the past has indeed grown up, Ryuen, you are getting more and more mature now.". At this time, Genzo also walked in with a smile.
Along with him, there were also the villagers of Cocoyasi Village. They heard that Ryuen had returned, and they all wanted to see what had changed about Ryuen now compared to before.
After all, Ryuen's reputation on the sea is extremely great now. The so-called Sea Emperor is no longer worthy of Ryuen's strong reputation.
Just imagine,
Which Four Emperors level figure,
Can kill one of the World Government's highest power Five Elders so easily?
Such a big event, even the former Pirate King Gol DRoger…no! Even the former sea overlord Rocks, didn't do this step!
Therefore,
Now Ryuen is the pride of their Cocoyasi Village!
"Ryuen!".
"Long time no see!".
"Ryuen…".
"Hee hee hee…Ryuen, I didn't expect your reputation to be so great now…".
"...".
As soon as Genzo's voice fell, the village chief and Captain Gulachi and other Cocoyasi Village villagers also walked in, and they all looked at Ryuen with excitement.
"Hahahaha~".
"Everyone, long time no see, Genzo, Village Chief, Captain Gulachi… I'm relieved to see that everyone is used to living on the sky island~". Ryuen was also very happy to see the long-lost Cocoyasi Village villagers.
"What's not to get used to, and we still have to thank you, otherwise where would we know so much about the sky islands~".
"Yes, Ryuen, you don't have to blame yourself for anything, living on the sky island is also very good, we like it here…"
"That's right…"
Looking at the simple villagers, Ryuen was very moved.
Immediately, he immediately announced loudly:
"In that case, let's have a long-lost banquet!".
"Good idea!".
"Banquet banquet…".
