Mary Geoise, Pangea Castle, the Room of Authority. St. Nusjuro was sitting on a sofa, focused on polishing the Shodai Kitetsu in his hands.
St. Ju Peter stood before the window with his arms crossed, his face calm as he watched the scene of buildings being repaired below.
St. Warcury sat on the sofa with his chin in his hands, a faint anger simmering in his eyes.
St. Mars stood ramrod straight beside a sofa with his hands behind his back, his face devoid of expression.
St. Saturn, leaning on his cane, sat on another sofa with an angry look on his face.
"Despicable fish-men, daring to offend our divine presence. A crime punishable by death."
St. Saturn was quite furious. The members who suffered the greatest losses last night were from his family, and one of them had even been killed.
Although a member was also killed during the "God Valley Incident" decades ago, that was an accident.
This time, they were killed in their own home; the situation was completely different.
"I propose that the Marines be dispatched to Fish-Man Island immediately to capture Fisher Tiger," St. Saturn continued.
"Fisher Tiger has already announced his departure from Fish-Man Island, and Fish-Man Island has also issued a statement," St. Ju Peter said softly.
"Don't the Marines want an Admiral position for Borsalino? Let him hunt down that fish-man. Give him the position after he completes the mission," St. Nusjuro said.
"Seconded," x4.
St. Warcury then asked, "What about that so-called Thunder God? We still don't have any precise information on him."
"'That Rumble-Rumble Fruit that disappeared for hundreds of years? A despicable thing that hides its head and shows its tail. No need to worry about it. Just have the Marines increase the bounty, and he will show up sooner or later. We'll take care of them together then'," St. Warcury added.
"Seconded."
"Seconded," x3.
Just as Leno was on his way, calculating how many good things he had acquired this time, he was unaware that bounty posters bearing his name were already fluttering across the entire sea.
Fish-man Fisher Tiger, bounty: 1,500,000,000 Berries. Heinously evil. Dead or alive.
On the bounty poster, the red fish-man wore a ferocious expression, gritting his teeth in rage.
Criminal "Thunder God," user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, bounty: 1,580,000,000 Berries. Heinously evil. Dead or alive.
On the bounty poster was Leno wearing a mask with the character for "Thunder" , with a scene of endless lightning behind him.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford. Fleet Admiral Sengoku was assigning a mission to Vice Admiral Kizaru.
"So scary~, a fish-man and a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user," Kizaru muttered, his face contorted into a pout.
A vein bulged on Sengoku's forehead. "Borsalino, be serious! This mission will determine if you are fit to be an Admiral. It must be completed, understand?"
"You should understand what the Three Admirals mean to us Marines, so this mission must be completed as soon as possible."
"Yeees, yeees, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, understood! I will certainly capture the fish-man, Fisher Tiger," Kizaru responded sluggishly.
Looking at Kizaru's lazy attitude, Sengoku took a deep breath and waved his hand weakly, "Get out!"
*Whoosh!* Kizaru disappeared.
Sengoku looked at the bounty posters and sighed deeply.
*Crunch, crunch, crunch.*
Just as Sengoku suppressed his anger, the "crunching" sound made it flare right back up. "Garp! You bastard!"
"Mahaha, Sengoku, no need to get angry over such a small thing. If those scumbags are dead, they're dead," Garp said, comforting Sengoku while eating his scallops.
"Great Buddha Impact!"
"Ah, Sengoku, you fight dirty! I'll be back!" Garp's voice drifted in from outside the window.
"Phew... Someone! Get someone to fix the window."

New World, on the Moby Dick. Whitebeard was gulping down sake.
"Pops, Pops, this is incredible! Quick, look at the newspaper," Marco handed the newspaper to Whitebeard.
"Oh, interesting. Someone actually made it up there?" Whitebeard subconsciously touched the scar on his chest. "Those bastards".
"Gurararara!"
"When that Thunder God brat comes to the New World, let him become my son! Gurararara!"
"Oh, oh, Pops is drunk again."
"Oh, oh, oh."

Wano Country, Onigashima. "Worororo, Thunder God? What an arrogant fellow. I'll wait for you to come to the New World and challenge me," Kaido said, gulping down his sake.
"Kaido, I, Kozuki Oden, have come to challenge you again!"
A young girl wearing a mask walked up, holding a smaller version of a kanabo club, and pointed it straight at Kaido.
Veins popped on Kaido's forehead as he put down his sake jar. He slowly picked up the giant kanabo club beside him and began a new round of parenting.

Whole Cake Island. "Mamamama, this dessert is so delicious," Big Mom's cavernous mouth never stopped eating sweets.
Katakuri walked in, holding a newspaper.
"Mama, here is today's newspaper. Someone attacked Mary Geoise."
"Hm? Thunder God? Mamamama, we'll see when you can make it to the New World."
***
New World, an unnamed island, the base of the Red Hair Pirates.
"Hey, Shanks, look at today's paper," Benn Beckman handed the newspaper to his captain.
"Oh? The Rumble-Rumble Fruit? That Devil Fruit that's been missing for hundreds of years has appeared? Is a new era coming?"
"Yeah, it's a troublesome fruit."
"Hahaha... To the new era! Let's drink! Let's drink!"

New World, Dressrosa, the King's Plateau, Royal Palace.
"Fuffuffuffuffu... Chaos! Let there be chaos! The more chaotic it is, the greater the opportunity. Sooner or later, I will drag all you high and mighty insects down and destroy you completely."
"Fuffuffuffu..."

The second half of the Grand Line, the Calm Belt. In the Amazon Lily Kingdom, Hancock was already being raised as the heir apparent.
But as she looked at the room filled with Leno's bounty posters, Hancock covered her face with her hands and murmured, "'Lord Leno, when the time comes, I will definitely come find you'."
***
Meanwhile, Leno finally returned to Cocoyasi Village, and couldn't wait to inspect the Devil Fruit and the famous blade.
