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

Weiwei was both amused and exasperated. "Calm down, the treasure isn't going anywhere."

"Yeah, it won't run away!"

Nami immediately realized what was happening and shouted towards the Moby Dick, "Hey, treasure! Don't forget the treasure!"

The Whitebeard Pirates on the other side had complicated expressions when they heard the shout.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it."

"After all, it's a straw hat."

"Isn't Ace's brother practically our brother? We're all family, let's have a feast!"

The Whitebeard Pirates shouted loudly.

Treasure can be stolen again, but battles and banquets like this don't happen often.

Maybe if we get to know each other better at the banquet, we can get a discount?

But Nami smiled and said, "Even if we're family, we can't skimp on any of the treasures that are due."

The pirates let out a wail.

"That's too cruel!"

"We've saved up for so many years!"

"Dad, say something!"

Whitebeard laughed heartily, "Kurarara, a bet's a bet, give them the treasure!"

Anyway, his copy was just sent back not long ago.

I don't have much on me right now!

......

Not far from this island.

Several warships are observing the situation here; they are undoubtedly naval vessels.

The huge commotion had already reached this area.

The soldiers on the warship stared wide-eyed at the devastating scene in the distance.

The roar of the sinking island could be heard from more than ten nautical miles away. The towering smoke and steam columns, as well as the black and red lightning that tore through the sky, made even the most battle-hardened navy soldiers' legs go weak.

Are those the Four Emperors?

A naval soldier observed the situation of the two pirate crews and quickly ran to report it.

boom!

Stand still.

"Vice Admiral Smoker! The Straw Hat Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates are heading towards the next stretch of sea. Should we give chase?"

Smoker, looking impatient, puffed out two cigars, his expression obscured by the swirling smoke. "Chase? How are we supposed to chase them?"

He leaned against the ship's railing, gazing at the distant sea with a complex expression.

The aftershocks of that battle can still be felt here; the warship rocked for quite a while.

"Admiral Kizaru is still nearby..."

"A general facing two emperors?"

Smoker interrupted him, exhaling a puff of smoke, "Don't think you can take advantage of the situation just because they're fighting. Those two monsters just finished fighting, and they're itching for a fight right now. Whoever goes up there will be in trouble."

He succeeded Vigor after the Punk Hazard incident, and was no longer an ordinary lieutenant general, but a lieutenant general with the real power of the base commander.

Smoker knew that his transfer here must be due to some big event, but he didn't expect it to be aimed at Professor Zeff.

He wasn't going to tolerate any of that, so he simply quit.

A large number of vice admirals and admirals are students of Professor Zephyr, and now they actually have to personally take care of that old man's funeral?

Kizaru could bring himself to do it, but he couldn't.

But unexpectedly, the straw hat guy suddenly intervened, and that stubborn old man Zephyr actually benefited from the misfortune and left.

From this perspective, it seems he should thank the straw hat.

I really don't know what the navy is thinking.

If someone like Lian Zefa is treated like this, how can you expect him not to leave?

"Lieutenant General Smoker, there's a call from the Field Marshal at headquarters."

A woman walked over, wearing a Justice Cloak draped over her shoulders, her hair tied up in a bun, and holding a Den Den Mushi in her hand.

Rear Admiral Tashigi, Navy Headquarters.

A subordinate who had followed Smoker for many years.

Tashigi handed the Den Den Mushi to Smoker, standing ramrod straight with a swift and decisive motion.

Compared to two years ago, Tashigi has shed her naivety and transformed into a valiant and spirited major general.

In just two years, she made rapid progress, especially in swordsmanship, and her strength should not be underestimated.

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi was Fleet Admiral Akainu's liaison, instructing Smoker to track the movements of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates and report back as needed.

After listening, Smoker simply tossed the Den Den Mushi to Tashigi and said, "I'm not doing it."

"Lieutenant General Smoker!"

Tashigi hurriedly caught the Den Den Mushi.

Smoker was a notorious troublemaker; disobeying orders was commonplace for him.

Smoker turned around. "If you need anything, have Akainu come to me personally."

Tashigi apologized to the Den Den Mushi with a sigh, then hung up the call.

Smoker knew that chasing after them wouldn't necessarily lead to a battle; the Navy's ships were most likely just surveillance vessels, monitoring the movements of the two pirate crews.

But it's better not to go at all.

Why don't you use your free time to catch other pirates?

The Straw Hat Pirates were already a formidable opponent, and now the Whitebeard Pirates have joined the fray. With two Yonko crews combined, their combined leadership exceeds thirty members, enough to destroy several countries.

Do you really think the navy can take advantage of the situation just because they were fighting there?

The moment the navy sets out, it will definitely be targeted by the two pirate crews. Those monsters who have just finished fighting are looking for a place to vent their excess energy.

Unless Akainu has the same courage as the former Fleet Admiral to regroup the entire Marine Headquarters' fighting force, he shouldn't even think about starting a war.

Ace and Straw Hat Luffy are brothers, so there's unlikely to be a life-or-death battle between them. It would be troublesome if the focus of attention shifted elsewhere.

When the two pirate crews unite against a common enemy, the Navy will be the ones who suffer.

“Tashigi,” Smoker suddenly spoke.

"Yes, sir!" Tashigi stood at attention.

"So, what level do you think that Straw Hat kid is at right now?"

Tashigi paused for a moment, then began to think seriously. "According to the intelligence, he repelled Kaido of the Beasts in Dressrosa, and just now he fought Whitebeard to such an extent... Moreover, he possesses the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and his development of it even surpasses that of the original Devil Fruit user, Whitebeard. All things considered, he should already be a true Emperor of the Sea."

Are they merely sea emperors?

Smoker exhaled a puff of smoke. "Three years ago, he was just a kid who had just come out of the East China Sea. Now he's standing at the top of this ocean."

He paused, a complex look flashing in his eyes, "Vice Admiral Garp must be laughing his head off right now."

Tashigi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Lieutenant General Smoker, what do we do next?"

Smoker turned to look at the distant sea, where the Straw Hat Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates were no longer in sight. "Let's go back. This level of battle is beyond our ability to get involved."

"But what about the Marshal..."

“Akainu doesn’t have any free time. He has a lot of things to do at the World Government. He’s not as good at being a Fleet Admiral as Sengoku. Many people at the World Government don’t give him any face.”

The warship slowly turned around and sailed away from the area.

Smoker chatted with Tashigi for a few more minutes. Besides the big news that the World Government Member States Conference was about to be held, the actions of the Four Emperors were also worth noting.

"I heard that the auntie is going to hold a tea party and has invited a lot of people."

Tashigi flipped through the intelligence reports, "Including some big shots in the underworld, and some pirate crews."

"What is that woman up to now?" Smoker frowned.

The four emperors each have their own unique characteristics, but without a doubt, the one with the most extensive network of connections is the old lady.

Besides her own pirate crews, the emperors who control the underground trade have a close relationship with Big Mom.

If any action is taken, things will definitely fall into chaos again.

As Tashigi perused the intelligence, her expression suddenly turned somewhat strange when she reached the last page.

The latest news from the aunties' tea party is... a marriage alliance?

.......

The scene then shifts to the Navy Headquarters.

New world.

Naval Headquarters.

The naval communications officer rushed into the admiral's office to report on the clash between the Four Emperors in the New World, but was stunned the next second.

The lineup in front of us is a bit too glamorous.

Fleet Admiral Akainu sat at his desk, a cigar dangling from his lips, while Vice Admiral and Chief of Staff Tsuru sat on the sofa beside him.

Three other people were sitting on the sofa: a semi-retired man holding a senbei and gesturing wildly; Vice Admiral Garp of the Marine Headquarters; former Fleet Admiral Sengoku with gray hair; and Admiral Fujitora, who had just returned from Dressrosa.

Almost all of the naval leadership's combat capabilities have been assembled.

The atmosphere in the office was so heavy it was almost palpable.

Upon hearing the message from the communications officer, Akainu was so enraged that his arm turned into magma again, hissing and crackling. Smoke began to rise from a corner of his desk, and the documents on it instantly turned to ashes.

These guys are all causing him trouble!
