He's right!
At this moment!
Akainu was more than just having a headache.
In Akainu's office, Akainu was throwing a massive tantrum!
"Gurgle…"
His arm was emitting a large amount of thick smoke, and magma kept dripping onto the ground, burning holes into the stones.
"That Borsalino (Kizaru) guy actually lost to a junior. He's completely disgraced the Navy!!"
Akainu fumed.
In front of Akainu, the reporting lieutenant colonel lowered his head in fear, trembling.
"Where's Sentomaru?" Akainu asked.
The lieutenant colonel immediately replied, "Fleet Admiral, Captain Sentomaru is injured and is currently being treated at the military medical office!"
Akainu heartlessly ordered, "Tell him to come see me immediately and report on the situation on the island!"
"Y-Yes, sir!"
Upon receiving the order, the lieutenant colonel fled Akainu's office as if escaping.
Akainu sat back in his main seat, looking at the latest report in his hand, and couldn't help but grit his teeth:
"Mondo!!"
…
Meanwhile.
Smoker, who had just been promoted to captain, had a very complicated expression after hearing about the incident on Sabaody Archipelago!
"Mondo…"
Ten years had passed, and the hothead from back then had grown into a steady middle-aged man.
"I never thought you'd appear again!"
Smoker hesitated for a moment, then his expression suddenly turned serious: "It's been ten years. It's time for you and me to settle things!"
With that, Smoker picked up his seastone weapons and headed for the Fleet Admiral's office.
He intended to apply to Akainu to follow the fleet to Sabaody Archipelago and capture Mondo!
…
From the moment Luffy beat up a Celestial Dragon!
Sabaody Archipelago entered the sights of countless major powers.
Because everyone knew that harming a Celestial Dragon would attract an Admiral's attack.
Therefore, with such a major incident happening on Sabaody Archipelago, the news spread like wildfire.
Soon!
Not only the Navy and the World Government, but other forces also received the news.
"Mondo?"
In a huge room, one of the Four Emperors, Charlotte Linlin, nicknamed "Big Mom," said while frantically eating, "He can actually defeat that Kizaru guy… Where did this person come from?"
Upon hearing this, Minister of Candy, Charlotte Perospero, chuckled and said, "Mama, do you remember ten years ago, a major incident happened at Marine Headquarters? A pirate disguised as a Marine killed a Celestial Dragon at Marine Headquarters and was given a bounty of 2 billion Berries… That person was Mondo!"
"So it was him!"
Charlotte Linlin stuffed a large piece of cake into her mouth and mumbled, "Keep an eye on this matter!"
"Yes, Mama!"
…
Fish-Man Island.
On a massive ship, a man was drinking heartily.
This man was tall and burly, a veritable giant. Even though he appeared very old, his muscles were still extremely well-developed…
Most striking was the crescent-shaped white mustache beneath the man's nose.
He was Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!
One of the Four Emperors.
Widely recognized as "the strongest man in the world"!
At this moment, Whitebeard seemed to be ill, with an IV drip attached to him.
However, this did not hinder his imposing demeanor in the slightest.
Even while sick, he was still drinking heavily.
"Pops, take it easy…"
Marco, the commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division, couldn't help but advise.
"Gurarararara… Marco, a mere illness won't kill me. Let's talk about that kid named Mondo! I like that guy!"
Whitebeard's voice was like a lion's, full of gravitas.
Marco, helpless, could only report, "According to intelligence, Mondo captured Admiral Kizaru and occupied Sabaody Archipelago. He also has two Celestial Dragons in his possession… Oh, and I heard that Silvers Rayleigh is also with Mondo, seemingly helping him."
"Rayleigh? I didn't expect that guy to be unable to stand the loneliness either?"
Whitebeard laughed heartily, "They're all people with one foot in the grave, yet they still want to join in the fun. That's really not like Rayleigh!"
Just then.
Suddenly, a pirate came onto the deck and reported to Whitebeard, "Pops, there's a newcomer outside who wants to see you. 4.5 He said he brought a message from Mondo."
"Oh?" Whitebeard said in surprise, "Let him in!"
Upon hearing this, the pirate immediately retreated.
Soon,
Trafalgar Law was brought before Whitebeard.
Whitebeard, being forthright, directly asked, "Brat, what message did that Mondo kid want you to bring me?"
It was evident that Law seemed a bit nervous in front of Whitebeard.
Mainly because Whitebeard's aura was too powerful!
This was the strongest man in the world!!
Hearing Whitebeard's question, Law immediately said, "Whitebeard-senpai, Uncle Mondo wants me to tell you that now is the best time to save Ace-sama!"
"Hm!"
Whitebeard's expression suddenly changed, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes!
