Looking at the crowd below, their eyes were full of fear, as if they had seen the end of the world.
In the air, Monet had a faint smile on her face, clearly happy with the reaction of the people below, and nodded in satisfaction.
Then, Monet slowly turned around, facing the rough sea.
On the distant sea, there stood three super huge sea kings, bigger than anyone could imagine!
They were like three moving islands, their huge bodies inspiring fear.
Monet gently raised her arm and waved gracefully to the three sea kings.
As if receiving some kind of mysterious command, the three huge creatures immediately understood and began to dive in perfect unison.
As they gradually disappeared into the sea, the huge waves they had created gradually calmed down.
When the last bit of the super huge sea kings disappeared below the surface of the water, the residents of Sabaody Archipelago, who had been tense the whole time, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
The feeling of fear and pressure that had been almost unbearable quickly disappeared like the tide, replaced by a feeling of relief and luck.
After that, Monet ignored the reactions of the people and quickly flew away from Island 1, hiding in the shadows.
...
Elsewhere, Shakky's expression was serious, as if she had thought of something. She immediately took out a Den Den Mushi (telephone snail) and started dialing.
Somewhere in the New World.
On the Red Force ship, the Red Hair Pirates also understood that if Ryuen didn't let them leave, they really couldn't leave this area.
So, they simply chose to stop fighting and completely let loose.
And so, a lively, noisy party started on the ship.
However, despite the laughter and cheers on the surface, everyone's heart was filled with a sense of sadness that they couldn't explain.
From the moment they joined the Red Hair Pirates, they had always had the same great goal.
That was to follow Joy Boy's plan, overthrow the high and mighty, corrupt World Government, and completely destroy Imu, the person behind it.
Then, they would rebuild an ideal world for everyone at sea, which was the ancient kingdom.
To do this, they had gone through so many hardships and put in so much effort.
But what about now?
The Dream Exploration Group might have already started their plan and were moving quickly towards achieving this great goal.
But they themselves were stuck here, watching others write history and create their own legend.
This feeling of helplessness and being left out was like a heavy chain, tightly binding the hearts of every crew member, making them feel incredibly frustrated.

"Puru puru puru..." The sudden sound of the Den Den Mushi broke the calm atmosphere, sounding especially loud and annoying.
At this moment, for the Red Hair Pirates, any sound from a Den Den Mushi could bring important news, affecting everyone's feelings.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were drawn to the direction of the Den Den Mushi's sound, as if by a magnet.
Rayleigh still had his usual relaxed attitude, holding a wine glass high in his left hand, ready to take a drink. His right hand was slowly reaching into his pocket.
Finally, the Den Den Mushi that was ringing non-stop, seemingly eager to send a message, was held firmly in Rayleigh's right hand.
"Moshi moshi..." Rayleigh said softly to the Den Den Mushi, with a faint smile on his face. But as the conversation went on, his expression gradually became serious.
"Oh, it's Shakky. Hehehe, you might not believe it, but Shanks and I are stuck in the New World by Ryuen..." Rayleigh shook his head helplessly, but his hands didn't stop moving, and he continued to talk to the person on the other end of the line.
"What? Poseidon, the Sea King, is really in their hands?" Hearing this news, Rayleigh frowned slightly, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Although he and Shanks had guessed that Poseidon, the Sea King, was in the hands of the Dream Exploration Group, it was still just their idea.
But now that he heard the definite answer, Rayleigh couldn't help but be shocked.
After all, it was Poseidon, one of the three Ancient Weapons!
But soon, he regained his composure, his mind suddenly realizing something. He immediately asked, "Wait! Shakky, you said the battle in Mary Geoise has already started? And even Kaido is involved in this?"
When he learned that not only the Marines and the Revolutionary Army were involved in this battle, but even Kaido had gone to join in the fun, Rayleigh could no longer remain calm.
He suddenly stood up, gripping the Den Den Mushi in his hand with more force.
At the same time, the members of the Red Hair Pirates couldn't contain their impatience.
They were either whispering among themselves or eager to fight, clearly shocked by the amazing news that Rayleigh had revealed.
As they had expected, the Dream Exploration Group had really attacked the World Government.
Moreover, they had really joined forces with the Marines and the Revolutionary Army, and even that bastard Kaido had appeared in Mary Geoise.
After learning this, they felt even worse.
Rayleigh was still talking to Shakky through the Den Den Mushi.
"Every island on the Grand Line has their people working with sea kings to stop any riots that might happen..." Rayleigh's weathered face now had a complex expression that was hard to describe.
After talking more, Rayleigh nodded, as if suddenly understanding, and muttered to himself:
"So that's it! No wonder they dared to openly challenge the World Government without worrying about the world falling into chaos..."
Time passed. They chatted for a few more sentences.
Finally, Rayleigh slowly put down the Den Den Mushi, his eyes a little lost, as if out of focus.
As Rayleigh hung up, the Den Den Mushi's big eyes drooped, looking lifeless.
Shanks frowned at the sight and said in a low, serious voice:
"It seems that Ryuen, the Marines, and the Revolutionary Army have really thought about all the possible situations. They're even willing to risk revealing the existence of Poseidon, the Sea King, to use the power of the sea kings to suppress any riots that might happen around the world!"
"Their careful planning and boldness are truly amazing."
