Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Forcibly removing it could cause severe bleeding or permanent nerve damage, leading to paralysis, amnesia, or even death...

In short, being alive is already quite a miracle.

"Uncle, you survived with injuries like that?" Luffy couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Hahaha, of course! If I were to go back to my younger days, it's hard to say who would win our battle!" the Golden Lion said smugly.

“So you need to think carefully before taking over as head of the family,” Luo said.

The golden lion paused for a moment, its eyes gleaming.

Over the years, he had grown accustomed to the existence of this thing, and even regarded it as a symbol of his madness and indomitable spirit.

But if it could be removed... who would really want to have a foreign object stuck in their head forever?

"What are the odds of success?" the Golden Lion asked calmly.

"Based solely on my current abilities, I can achieve no more than 30%."

Luo spoke frankly, "Moreover, even if it is successfully removed, it will require a period of recovery and rehabilitation, after all, the nerves have been compressed for so many years."

"Thirty percent, that's interesting."

Golden Lion stroked his chin. "It's already much better than those quacks said it was impossible. Cheers!"

He made his decision with undiminished arrogance: "I am Shiki the Golden Lion! If I die on the operating table, that's my fate! But if I succeed... hehehehe! I can fight Newgate and Shanks again in my complete form."

And you, Straw Hat Boy, aren't you getting away either!

"Okay," Luffy agreed.

I absolutely cannot refuse to fight.

Wouldn't it be better to test the Tremor-Tremor Fruit again with the Golden Lion and see what the results are?

Finding a suitable opponent at a time like this is not so easy.

.....

On the icy battlefield.

From the moment Luffy stepped onto the submarine, Hancock kept her eyes fixed on it until it disappeared at the horizon.

"Luffy..."

Hancock murmured softly, her slender fingers unconsciously touching her chest.

Her heart was pounding wildly at an unprecedented rate, each beat tugging at every nerve in her body, making her feel both sweet and painful.

lovesickness.

So this is what lovesickness feels like.

There's no time to stop for even a moment.

"I can't wait any longer."

Hancock abruptly raised her head, took long strides, and walked toward the nearest naval hospital ship.

The major general was giving orders on the deck when he suddenly felt a shadow loom over him.

It's a giant snake!

Full of oppression.

Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress, was sitting on top.

That face, hailed as the most beautiful in the world, was expressionless, yet breathtakingly beautiful.

"Lord Shichibukai, is there anything I can help you with?" The Rear Admiral's throat moved.

Hancock didn't waste any words and directly ordered, "Send me to chase after that submarine."

The major general didn't react for a moment: "What?"

"Now, immediately, right away."

Hancock's tone turned cold. "Send me to catch up with Lord Luffy's ship."

Lord Luffy?

The rear admiral's mind went blank for a moment, and he instinctively refused, saying, "Seven Warlords of the Sea, we don't have any ships available at the moment..."

Are you going to refuse me?

Hancock interrupted him.

The moment she finished speaking, an invisible aura emanated from her.

That wasn't Conqueror's Haki, but it was even more irresistible to men than Conqueror's Haki.

The allure of combining the power of the Sweet-Sweet Fruit with unparalleled beauty!

"No, it's not a rejection, it's a procedural issue."

"I don't care about those things."

Hancock took a step forward, her high heels clicking crisply on the deck.

"Either you start the boat now, or I'll steer it myself."

The major general opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but then he heard the roar of an engine starting up behind him.

He turned around abruptly, only to find his men already scrambling to set sail.

"You, all of you!"

"Let me drive!"

......

"Wait! Why did that ship leave without permission?!"

"It's Hospital Ship 3!"

"Who gave the order?!"

On the ice, the other naval personnel noticed the commotion and cast surprised glances at them.

Some officers tried to make contact using Den Den Mushi (snail phone), but were unable to reach them at all.

The news quickly reached the Warring States period.

"Marshal! Hospital Ship No. 3 has left port without permission, and Boa Hancock, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was spotted on board."

A messenger reported breathlessly.

Before Sengoku could speak, a vice admiral beside him couldn't help but growl, "What exactly are those Shichibukai trying to do?! They're acting on their own the moment the war ended, what do they take the Navy for?!"

They didn't contribute during the war, but they left faster than anyone else after it ended.

Which side do these Seven Warlords of the Sea belong to?!

Before the words were finished, a mocking voice interrupted:

"Fufufu, do you intend to detain us Seven Warlords of the Sea here?"

Doflamingo strode over with his hands in his pockets, while Hawkeye Mihawk walked silently beside him.

The oppressive aura emanating from these two Shichibukai standing together caused the surrounding Marines to instinctively take a half-step back.

The lieutenant general's face turned ashen, and he was about to retort when Sengoku raised his hand to stop him.

"enough."

Sengoku gave Doflamingo a deep look, then glanced at Mihawk. After a few seconds of silence, he gave a solemn order:

"Send them away."

"Marshal of the Warring States Period?"

The surrounding generals were all stunned.

Should we let the Seven Warlords leave now?

"Arrange for warships to escort the Seven Warlords of the Sea away from the Impel Sea," Sengoku emphasized again.

"Yes."

"Gentlemen, please follow me. The warship is ready."

"We can leave now!"

Doflamingo grinned, a smile that held both mockery and amusement.

He certainly understood why the Warring States were in such a hurry to send them away.

The role played by the Seven Warlords of the Sea in this war was extremely awkward.

They're allies, but apart from Hawkeye who fought the Straw Hats at the beginning, the others were practically just sitting idly by the whole time.

They are enemies, yet nominally they are on the Navy's side.

More importantly, what the Warring States period needs least right now is uncertainty.

With the Seven Warlords of the Sea remaining on the battlefield, who knows what those lawless guys might do?

Doflamingo turned his gaze to Hawkeye: "You're just leaving like that?"

Hawkeye didn't even look at him, simply saying, "There's no need for you to stay."

After saying that, he walked straight ahead, his black trench coat fluttering in the sea breeze.

He and Doflamingo are not on the same wavelength.

"Fufufufu~ You really know how to be concise in your speech."

Doflamingo stared at Hawkeye's retreating figure, his eyes narrowing behind his sunglasses, thinking to himself, "Doesn't this guy sense any danger at all?"

The Seven Warlords of the Sea did not contribute much to this war, while the pacifists displayed by the Navy were far more destructive to the pirates than the Seven Warlords themselves.

Its mass production and strong basic combat capabilities have proven their value.

Calls to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea have never ceased within the Navy.

This voice will only grow louder after this war.

Especially now, he has received orders from the World Government to deal with one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
