"Fufufufu…"
A demonic laugh echoed from a lavish room.
Donquixote Doflamingo, also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, had also received the mandatory summons from Marine Headquarters.
"That Mondo fellow, he's truly a reckless madman!"
Those beside Doflamingo agreed with his assessment.
Since the appearance of the "Creators," no one in the entire world had ever dared to openly oppose the Celestial Dragons, let alone brazenly kill them.
"Doflamingo!"
Trebol, scruffy and snot-nosed, asked, "Should we accept the Marine Headquarters' summons?"
Doflamingo chuckled, saying, "The island's development has been too smooth, life is too boring. It's not bad to go see that madman Mondo!"
…
On the vast sea.
A small wooden raft was drifting.
On top of the raft was a man with eyes as sharp as an eagle's.
He was Dracule Mihawk.
Nicknamed "Hawk-Eyes"!
Known as the world's strongest swordsman!
He was also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"Mondo?"
Hawk-Eyes glanced at the summons in his hand, then casually tossed it into the sea.
He always did as he pleased and paid no mind to the Marine Headquarters' summons.
At the same time, he pursued higher swordsmanship.
Mondo wasn't a swordsman, so he had no interest…
…
In a corner of a small town.
A group of pirates, played by Reincarnators, were carrying out their mission.
"Holy crap! Shura God is amazing, he actually defeated a Marine Admiral!"
"What? Really?"
"This is today's newspaper, take a look!"
"Hiss! He actually captured Kizaru? That's incredible!"
"I heard that every Marine Admiral's overall strength is that of a veteran A-rank expert, capable of entering the top 100 global experts. Shura God is indeed formidable."
"This is only the fourteenth floor! Shura God is truly a monster~."
"What's even more incredible is that this guy actually plans to challenge Marine Headquarters, he's simply insane!"
"I think Boss Shura is doing this because it's related to a mission, otherwise there's no need to go all out like this."
"Very likely… Isn't our mission to hunt Marine powerhouses? Should we join in? Maybe we can pick up a huge windfall!"
"Let's not, when gods fight, mortals suffer! Our strength is still far from that of true bigshots. Whether it's Shura God or a Marine Admiral, a casual bump could make us suffer greatly…"
"You're right…"
…
All over the world.
After receiving the news, all major powers focused their attention on the Sabaody Archipelago.
Everyone wanted to know how the upcoming events would unfold.
This was also the reason why Marine Headquarters suddenly issued a mandatory summons to the Seven Warlords!
The Marines couldn't afford to lose this time!!
Most people didn't believe Mondo would survive this time…
The power of Marine Headquarters was simply too immense.
Akainu, Garp, Aokiji, Fujitora… countless top experts were all at Marine Headquarters.
Neither the Seven Warlords of the Sea nor the Four Emperors could compare to Marine Headquarters in terms of influence or strength.
The Marines were also the recognized overlords of the sea!
That Mondo, all by himself, actually wanted to challenge the Marines. Wasn't that seeking death?
However, the name "Mondo" had now entered the eyes of various powers!
Many factions also planned to use this opportunity to make some moves…
Countless undercurrents surged!
…
Fish-Man Island.
After discussing with his sons, Whitebeard finally made the decision to go rescue Fire Fist Ace!
Ace was also his son, and Whitebeard couldn't possibly not save him.
And if Mondo could hold back the main Marine forces, it would indeed be the best time to save Ace.
Whitebeard certainly wouldn't miss such an opportunity!
"Pops, of course we have to save Ace, but what does that Mondo mean? Does he want us to hold back Admiral Aokiji?"
Commander of the third division, Diamond Jozu, said discontentedly, "A rookie actually dares to demand our cooperation!"
"Gurarahahahahaha…" Whitebeard laughed heartily, "This kid Mondo doesn't seem so simple. Let's just wait and watch the show!"
"Is he afraid of Kuzan's (Aokiji's) ability? Then we'll give him a hand!"
"Release the news that the Whitebeard Pirates are going to attack Impel Down!!"
Impel Down was the world's greatest prison.
Fire Fist Ace was currently imprisoned there.
…
On another small island, Luffy had just separated from his companions when he received the news that Ace was imprisoned and about to be executed. He immediately changed his mind and decided to go save Ace!
Ace is his brother; he can't just stand by and watch him die…
…
Outside, undercurrents surged.
However, the Sabaody Archipelago was a scene of peace at this moment.
Inside a wooden bar.
Chen Ye was having a meal with Silvers Rayleigh at a dining table.
As for Kizaru, he was locked in a room with Seastone cuffs.
After all, he was a captive, and Chen Ye wouldn't give him too many special privileges!
"Shakky, thank you for your hospitality!"
After a satisfying meal.
Chen Ye thanked Shakky, the bar owner.
This Shakky, on the surface, was a bar owner, but in reality, she was an information broker, also known as "Auntie Shakky," and lived with Rayleigh.
As for her relationship with Rayleigh… only the two of them knew.
"No need to be so polite!"
Shakky smiled at Chen Ye and said, "It's my honor to host someone like you!"
After Shakky cleared the table and served drinks to the three of them, she wisely withdrew, leaving the space to the men.
"Mondo, what are your plans now?" Rayleigh asked.
Chen Ye smiled, "My plan has never changed!"
Rayleigh frowned, "Mondo, I heard that the Marines are extensively recruiting people, recalling all their strong fighters, and have even issued a mandatory summons to the Seven Warlords… If you want to confront the Marines, the situation isn't optimistic."
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Rayleigh, I'm already prepared!"
Chen Ye, of course, knew what kind of situation he was about to face.
Chen Ye had thought about the plan long before taking action.
Therefore, Chen Ye had already made some preparations!
As long as Whitebeard was willing to cooperate with him and hold back Admiral Aokiji, Chen Ye wouldn't be afraid at all.
With the Trident, no matter how many Marines came, Chen Ye could drown them.
When fighting Kizaru before, Chen Ye had not used the Trident precisely to catch the Marines off guard!
