Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
"We got the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. This time, we've had quite a few unexpected gains in Sabaody."
Inside the office, Loy took a satisfied sip of cola, thinking to himself, "Next, all I have to do is get that Celestial Dragon away from Sabaody Archipelago."
As he pondered this, he heard the panicked sounds of the marines outside the door.
"Hey, did you hear? Over at Sabaody Archipelago, the Celestial Dragons were defeated by the Rooster of the Twelve Zodiac Signs."
"Of course I've heard about it. No wonder it's called the Rooster; last time it robbed the heavenly gold, this time it's kidnapped a world noble!"
"I heard that the Warring States Marshal has already ordered his generals to head there."
Hearing these words, Roy remained calm and simply drank the last sip of his cola.
Yes.
The Celestial Dragons frequently operate in the Sabaody Archipelago, primarily because no one dares to lay a hand on them there.
Because Marineford and Mary Geoise are both very close to the Sabaody Archipelago, and both of them have naval admirals stationed there.
For example, Roy knew that the admiral stationed in Mary Geoise recently was "Aokiji" Kuzan, while the admiral stationed at headquarters recently was "Kizaru" Borsalino.
But without a doubt, even if these two generals were to be dispatched simultaneously...
"Mary Geoise is closer; you can take the large elevator directly to the vicinity of the Sabaody Archipelago, but Aokiji isn't known for his speed, so it will take at least ten minutes."
"Marineford is relatively far away. Even if Kizaru uses his abilities to travel the whole way, it will still take him about the same amount of time to get there."
"At the speed of the Rooster, they couldn't stop him from leaving."
Roy had calculated this perfectly.
But
"Yes, I didn't expect that Admiral Sakazuki's warship was in the nearby waters. It was a lifesaver."
"Yeah, I wonder if we'll be able to catch that Rooster this time."
As soon as the marines outside finished speaking, the door to 'Loy Amos's' office suddenly opened.
"Lieutenant General Blackie!"
Upon seeing Roy, the marines all showed expressions of admiration and respect.
Since the military exercises, Roy's fame and prestige have become extremely high at headquarters.
"Um."
Roy nodded and looked at the marines: "You just said you were sure it was 'Rooster' who attacked the Celestial Dragons?"
He asked calmly.
"That's right!"
The marines were taken aback at first, but then they weren't surprised—such a sudden event, involving the Celestial Dragons and the Twelve Constellations, normally meant that Fleet Admiral Sengoku wouldn't have time to directly inform headquarters before it was resolved; it was mostly passed down by word of mouth among the marines.
As the commander of the detention force, Lieutenant General Hei Xie usually keeps a low profile, so it's not surprising that no one knows about him.
"General Sakazuki has already left?"
Roy continued to ask.
"Hmm—the admiral had just captured a pirate in the nearby waters and was planning to go to the Marine branch in the Sabaody Archipelago to refuel, so he rushed over there immediately after hearing about the situation."
The marines nodded: "We just heard from the branch on Sabaody Archipelago Island 66 that he's almost there."
".That's good."
Roy nodded and forced a smile, "In that case, I can go on my patrol with peace of mind."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Inspection?"
The marines were somewhat surprised—this Vice Admiral Kuroko was said to rarely leave his office to make inspections, let alone so late.
"That's normal, since it's said that Lieutenant General Black Xie let his subordinates carry out the missions on their own this time in order to train them, and there was indeed less supervision at the detention unit."
"Oh, that makes sense."
Amidst the marines' discussions, they were naturally unaware of this.
Roy's figure suddenly stopped when he left the castle tower and walked to some unknown corner.
"Hopefully it'll be in time."
The door opened in the air.
He stepped inside and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Island Number Three, in a secluded forest.
"Lord Rooster, please take a rest."
Alan looked at the Rooster, whose body and aura were clearly weak at the moment, and said this.
"No, we have to leave immediately!"
But at that moment, the Rooster stood up without hesitation: "Otherwise, it will be too late."
Although the side effects of the 'Ancient Stance' consuming physical strength had not yet subsided, he was indeed very vulnerable at the moment.
However, it is clear that after realizing that the situation is not developing as originally expected, leaving immediately is the top priority.
".good!"
Upon hearing the unusually serious and resolute words from Youji, Alan was taken aback, then nodded and asked no further questions.
The Rooster immediately transformed, its body rapidly becoming a massive Tyrannosaurus Rex: "Where is your clone?"
Naturally, what appeared before him at this moment was Alan's true form.
Alan climbed onto his back: "You don't need to worry about them—they can draw our attention, and I'll make them jump into the sea if necessary."
He said firmly, "Perhaps God made me eat that fruit just for this moment."
".good."
Upon hearing this, Youji gave Alan a deep look.
So he flapped his wings, preparing to take off.
But
"."
The next moment, his movements stopped.
"grown ups?"
Alan spoke with some doubt, about to ask a question.
Then he noticed that the Rooster's gaze was now fixed on the sky.
So Alan looked up, puzzled.
then
His expression froze as well.
Because at this moment, through the unique bubbles of the Sabaody Archipelago and the branches of the Yarchiman mangroves, he could see things above the dark sky.
At first glance—they appeared to be ominous, crimson shooting stars.
They pierced through the dark clouds and night, and are falling in this direction right now!
But if you look closely, you'll find that it's not a shooting star at all.
Those were fists made of magma, burning with intense flames.
It was a terrifying spectacle, like an underwater volcanic eruption.
[Major Fire Breathing]
The next moment.
"bake!"
The scorching heat instantly shattered the bubbles in the Sabaody Archipelago and set the roots of the mangroves ablaze.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The violent explosion and fire instantly engulfed the entire island.
That was an attack far exceeding the power of Enel's lightning.
"What a reckless guy."
At that moment, the Rooster also spoke solemnly.
then
"Alan, the plan has changed."
His gaze was fixed on the distance—the source of those countless fiery meteors, a warship gradually approaching from the sea.
With the Rooster's keen eyesight, it could even see the figure standing on the warship.
The crimson formal attire, the fluttering naval cloak, and the flags flying from the masts of the warships.
That is
Sakazuki, the Red Dog.
"As agreed beforehand—you stay here and don't move."
The Rooster adjusted its rooster-head mask, seemingly grinning.
"I'll be right back."
