After learning of Kuma's fate, many people under the Sky Screen were unable to believe it.
At this moment, Ivankov in the video had also never anticipated this outcome.
〖"Kuma, what happened to you in the years after I left? Why did you become like this? Do you really not remember me? I'm Ivankov."
Ivankov still couldn't believe the fact that Kuma was dead and stood nearby, desperately trying to awaken Kuma's consciousness.
Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain.
No matter how earnest Ivankov's voice was, Kuma paid no attention and instead quickly moved to stand before him.
Then Kuma used "Ursus Shock" on Ivankov.
In the next instant, all the okamas of the Kamabakka Queendom were sent flying. Seeing this, Ivankov finally decided to hold back no longer.
"Bastard! Galaxy Wink!"
He launched this move at Kuma, and countless giant faces appeared in the sky.
Then these countless giant faces blinked simultaneously, creating a massive storm that sent Kuma flying.
"You attacking me is one thing, but you actually dared to attack such adorable candy boys too? You didn't think I would show mercy, did you?"
Ivankov said angrily, kicking the now-standing Kuma away again.
"Anyone who has ever seen me has never been able to forget my face. But now you can't even recognize who I am it's truly disappointing. I don't care if you've really lost your memory or not. Since you're not holding back, I'll make you remember, make you recall my terror!"
Having said this, Ivankov turned to look at Luffy. "Straw Hat Boy, leave this place to me. You can go ahead with peace of mind. I'll have the candy boys assist you."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Iva-chan!"
As he spoke, Luffy led the okamas of the Kamabakka Queendom and charged straight toward the execution platform where Ace was.
They thought they could proceed unimpeded, but unfortunately, after only a few steps, a weapon glowing with green light suddenly appeared before them. Then, a somewhat mysterious man arrived.〗
[Pirate 1: Oh my god, who is that? Is even he here to intercept Straw Hat? The world's greatest swordsman, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Hawk Eyes Dracule Mihawk. I thought he would go fight other more famous pirates, but I never expected he would directly confront Straw Hat.]
[Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro: So even you will fight my captain? Perfect, let me see the gap between us.]
[Gecko Moria: Hahaha, Straw Hat is done for. How could he possibly be Hawk Eyes' match?]
[Eustass Kid: Another Warlord? Straw Hat has already fought this many famous opponents? Damn it, I won't admit defeat.]
[Red-Haired Shanks: I never expected this, Mihawk. You actually chose to fight Luffy.]
[Hawk Eyes Mihawk: Sometimes, one must accept different challenges.]
At Marine Headquarters, Marineford
Sengoku watched Mihawk's appearance with some relief.
"Excellent, there are still a few useful ones among the Warlords. By the way, have they arrived yet?"
As he said this, he looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru.
"Doflamingo and Gecko Moria have already arrived at Marineford. There's still no news from Dracule Mihawk. However, he didn't refuse the summons to Marine Headquarters, so he's probably on his way.
As for the Tyrant Kuma, according to Dr. Vegapunk, he's also on his way. And Marshall D. Teach should still be in Impel Down.
As for the Pirate Empress, previous communications indicated she should be arriving at Headquarters soon. But with the Sky Screen broadcast, it's uncertain whether she'll still come."
Vice Admiral Tsuru reported all the movements of the Warlords, and after hearing this, Sengoku couldn't help but massage his temples.
"Sigh, these Warlords are strong, but not all of them are reliable. Doflamingo and Gecko Moria are fine. As for Dracule Mihawk, although there's no news yet, he should still side with the Marines.
But the remaining two—that Blackbeard, judging from previous videos, probably became a Warlord with ulterior motives. Now we don't even know what he's doing in Impel Down, and we can't contact Impel Down at the moment, so we have no idea about the specific situation.
And that Pirate Empress actually helped the enemy on the battlefield. Even if she comes now saying she'll side with the Marines, I wouldn't easily believe her. And after this incident, it's uncertain whether she'll even come to the island.
However, if she does come to the island, detain her first. Don't let her participate in the Summit War. The same goes for Blackbeard if he appears. If neither of them comes to the island, then we'll deal with them after the Summit War concludes."
Sengoku detailed his arrangements for the Warlords, and everyone present agreed.
On the Perfume Yuda
Boa Sandersonia approached the Empress with concern. "Sister, we'll soon arrive at Marineford. Are you still going ashore? After the video broadcast, the Marines probably won't easily trust you, Sister. If you rashly go ashore, who knows what they might do to you."
Boa Marigold agreed: "Yes, Sister, I think Sandersonia is right. Maybe you shouldn't go ashore? Let's just return."
Seeing her two sisters' worried expressions, the Empress shook her head. "If I choose to return now, the Marines will truly not let us off easily. They might think I'm planning to betray the Warlords too, and then our Amazon Lily will be in danger."
"But it's also dangerous for you to go ashore, Sister!" Boa Sandersonia said urgently.
"Don't worry, I've already made plans. Although going ashore is dangerous, once the war begins and the Marines are short-handed, they will definitely seek my help. At that time, if I help them a little, they will surely forgive me—because I'm just too beautiful. Besides, I don't plan to go ashore now. I'll go ashore just before the war begins. That way, I can immediately participate in the battle. Let's see what those Marines can say then."
At this point, the Empress suddenly thought of something and smiled shyly.
"Moreover, if I go ashore, I might get to see Luffy again. Will he hug me again? Ah, what am I thinking?"
The Empress's face grew redder and redder. Seeing her like this, the members of the Kuja Pirates looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
