Since he had an Eternal Pose pointing to Totto Land, Naruto didn't need to stop at other islands to replenish magnetism.
He directly piloted Tempest racing toward the center of Totto Land: Cake Island.
As for the Navy, after failing to find any trace of Naruto on Fishman Island, they naturally knew he had already escaped.
Unfortunately, Naruto's departure this time was too secretive, and they didn't know which direction to pursue for the moment.
It wasn't until World Government spies sent intelligence about Naruto's appearance that two days had already passed.
Based on the route of the several islands where he appeared, Vice Admiral Tsuru easily deduced Naruto's destination.
The headquarters of one of the Four Emperors, the Big Mom Pirates.
Now it was the Navy's turn to be at a loss.
Should they pursue?
What if it triggered a war between a Four Emperor and the Navy?
The several officers on the ship expressed different attitudes.
Garp abstained. He was completely indifferent.
This guy wasn't afraid of Charlotte Linlin or the pirates under her command, but that didn't mean he was willing to fight Naruto.
Although their positions were different, honestly speaking, Garp didn't think there was anything wrong with what Naruto had done.
Liberating slaves, killing Celestial Dragons.
Either action was something he wanted to do as a Marine but couldn't.
It was already quite restrained of him not to applaud and cheer.
If Garp had to find fault with Naruto, it would be that he shouldn't have been so high-profile.
You could have gone at night, or at least disguised yourself.
Garp knew very well that this kid had an ability to transform into a great beauty.
Of course, he had no intention of sharing this intelligence, so for now only Garp himself knew, at least that's how he saw it.
Vice Admiral Tsuru's approach was more steady. She didn't want to directly make such a rash move with great fanfare.
As for Gion, although she completely obeyed Vice Admiral Tsuru's orders, her personal style was more aggressive and radical. If forced to say, she believed they should arrest Naruto at the fastest speed.
As long as they could intercept him before he went deep into Totto Land, there would be no problem.
Borsalino also expressed abstention, like Garp. He was purely an employee who followed orders.
Whether it was the World Government or the Fleet Admiral, if they told him to go, he'd go; if they didn't, he'd immediately head home.
Unfortunately, the decision-making power for this team wasn't in Vice Admiral Tsuru's hands.
After learning that Naruto Uzumaki wasn't on Fishman Island, the World Government immediately ordered pursuit.
Full effort, no need to consider any circumstances, dead or alive.
A very tough attitude.
Alright, since the higher-ups had spoken, even if Vice Admiral Tsuru had more concerns, there was no way to voice them.
This warship carrying one Admiral, one Admiral candidate, and two veteran heroes of the Navy thus headed toward Big Mom's territory.
On the other side, in Dressrosa.
"Doffy, how about it? Should we go?"
Looking at the invitation in his hand, Trebol sought his young master's opinion.
As the famous underground world intermediary "Joker," Doflamingo had many gray transactions under him that couldn't see the light of day.
Slaves, Devil Fruits, weapons, and so on.
Among these, the slave business had gradually been abandoned by him.
It wasn't that Doflamingo had a change of heart, but he noticed that the slave business had slow cycles and high risks. How could it compare to directly selling weapons for profit?
Currently, Kaido was occupying Wano Country, continuously mass-producing weapons.
These weapons and arms were transported through Dressrosa, which he occupied, to various parts of the world, even including the Navy and World Government.
Just the portion of profits he intercepted was enough to fill his belly with oil. Why would he still care about the slave business?
Even if the slave auction house on Sabaody Archipelago hadn't been destroyed in this battle between Naruto Uzumaki and Akainu, it would have been abandoned by Doflamingo before long.
Just as he was looking forward to further cooperation with Kaido, somehow that old hag from the Big Mom Pirates got word that he was harboring a scientist who had researched lineage factors.
Caesar Clown, an expert who had formed a research team with super genius Vegapunk, and later even joined the World Government science team with him.
If it weren't for the experimental accident he caused later that led to his arrest, Doflamingo really wouldn't have had any channels to contact this person.
Now, he was cooperating with Kaido, using Caesar's abilities to conduct artificial Devil Fruit and human gigantification research.
But how did Big Mom find out?
Could it be that Kaido's side leaked the information?
Although he felt some dissatisfaction with Kaido in his heart, Doflamingo also knew that he wasn't someone the current him could contend with.
Using a tiger's skin as a banner. The reason he could navigate between the Beast Pirates and the World Government relied not only on his already-revoked "Celestial Dragon identity."
"Go, I'll go personally."
Doflamingo rejected his subordinates' suggestion to "go on his behalf." He knew well that when communicating with powerhouses like Big Mom and Kaido, without sufficient courage, one might not even be able to speak.
Plus, the content of the conversation also involved his own life and fortune, so he needed to handle it personally.
At this time, the sound of high heels rapidly tapping the ground suddenly came from outside the door.
After the door was pushed open, a blonde boy wearing ultra-short pants and a bullhorn hat ran in.
"He was an officer of the Donquixote Family, the half-fishman Dellinger."
"Young Master! Look at this news quickly!"
Saying this, he spread a newspaper out in front of Doflamingo.
After seeing the content written on it, Doflamingo's small eyes hidden behind sunglasses suddenly widened.
"He actually attacked Mary Geoise? Really... an even more insane guy than me! Naruto Uzumaki!"
He laughed loudly while continuously slapping the armrest, as if very satisfied with Naruto's actions.
"Interesting, I really want to meet this guy!"
Regarding dealing with Celestial Dragons, Doflamingo felt he should have some common topics with Naruto Uzumaki.
"Change course! To the New World!"
"Yes!"
On the Perfume Yuda, "Empress" Boa Hancock once again issued course change orders to her subordinates.
The ship quickly turned under the pull of two giant sea serpents and began accelerating in another direction.
Although this was already the third course change, out of worship for the Empress, those crew members had no complaints in their hearts.
Except for Hancock's own two sisters.
"Sister, are you really going there?"
"What if the World Government asks about it?"
The two sisters earnestly tried to dissuade their sister.
Not only because they knew their sister's "husband-seeking" journey would most likely end in failure again.
But also because this time Naruto Uzumaki had really gone too far. If they continued seeking him, Amazon Lily might also get involved.
"Haven't you read the news? That guy Naruto... that guy actually did this kind of thing again!"
Saying this, Hancock pointed at the big news headline on the newspaper.
Her tone sounded like it carried dissatisfaction, but her eyes and expression revealed nothing but emotion and joy.
"This must be the power of love!"
No, no, it doesn't look like that at all.
The two sisters didn't dare voice this thought. They knew very well that their sister was already excited about finally finding traces of that man again after so many years.
Plus, he had once again attacked Celestial Dragons this time, once more performing the great deed of liberating slaves.
How could this not move Hancock, who hated Celestial Dragons to the bone?
"Moreover, whatever I do will be forgiven!"
Saying this, Hancock simply crossed her arms over her chest, as if what she said was some kind of truth.
To this, the two sisters could only silently sweat and nod.
