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

Neptune breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a good thing we didn't see Shirahoshi's bounty in the newspapers.

However, Shirahoshi has rarely appeared in public, and the Straw Hat crew has a way to erase her fish-man characteristics, so the World Government probably doesn't know her true identity.

Was this world conference really useful?

Shark Star expressed skepticism about this.

The system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was abolished during the World Conference without any discussion between nations. Given the World Government's dictatorial power, would they really adopt their opinions?

Neptune said, "We are going to fight for the rights that belong to us."

He wanted to fulfill his wife Otohime's wish and also wanted the fish-men to be able to stand in the sunlight from then on.

Fishman Island is now protected by the flags of the two Emperors of the Sea, Whitebeard and Straw Hat, so no pirates dare to cause trouble. But Fishman Island cannot continue like this forever.

"However, the Navy is taking it quite seriously. I heard that a naval hero is coming to escort us," Shark Star said.

He is Luffy's grandfather.

Hearing that it was someone he knew, Neptune breathed a sigh of relief.

Although that old man is sometimes unreliable, his strength is undeniable. With Garp protecting him, he has nothing to fear unless it's a Yonko-level pirate.

On the other hand, which of the Four Emperors would be so bored as to set their sights on Fishman Island?

Huang Xing suddenly sighed, "I wonder how Shirahoshi is doing with the Straw Hat Pirates now."

Neptune paused for a moment, then laughed.

"That child has never been so happy."

Since leaving Fishman Island, every time Shirahoshi's Den Den Mushi calls back, she has a smile on her face, an expression she never had when she was trapped in the Hard Shell Tower.

Neptune patted his son on the shoulder. "So, let her go. That child needs her own adventures too."

.......

Dressrosa.

King Ricci Dordor III also intends to attend this world conference, and Princesses Rebecca and Viola also plan to accompany him.

The Straw Hat Grand Fleet's Tots and the Happo Navy followed as escorts.

Rebecca was discussing Luffy and his crew with the news in the newspaper, her face beaming with joy.

"I wonder when I'll be able to see Lord Luffy again."

Rebecca's eyes were full of stars; she wished she had gone to sea with Luffy and the others.

Viola laughed too, "Given how famous Luffy and his crew are, we might hear quite a few of their names at this World Government Summit."

Rebecca jumped up excitedly, "Lord Luffy will definitely be a hot topic if he defeats Whitebeard and Kaido!"

Leo, standing nearby, also waved a small flag and cheered, "Of course! Boss Luffy is the best! We Tontatta will always support him!"

Old Cai glared at them and said, "Keep your voices down, this is the royal palace."

"What does it matter? Grandpa supports us anyway." Rebecca stuck out her tongue.

King Rick III, standing beside him, smiled and shook his head. "Alright, alright, let's get ready to go."

The World Conference in previous years was not this lively.

Who could have imagined that the landscape of the ocean would undergo such a dramatic change during this period?

......

In Zou.

After the banquet, everyone prepared to depart.

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the whale forest, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Everyone started packing their things, preparing to leave.

"Luffy, when are we leaving? That lecherous cook looks so troubled. Let's finish his business quickly."

Zoro walked over with his sword in his arms, his face full of disgust.

Vivi, Nami, Robin, and Uta had already packed everything up. The Mink Tribe had a lot of unique items, and they were practically feeding them all the stuff they could find. As a result, everyone was carrying big bags and small bags of things. It was only because Nami's ability was so useful that she got a Cloud Ball, which had a similar storage function, from the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Let's pack up and set off. First, we'll go to Whole Cake Island and get the red historical text from the old lady."

Luffy laughed and said, "Next, we'll go to Wano Country to find Kaido. We can just sweep through the whole country."

Sanji walked over, a cigarette dangling from his lips. "Shall we start the battle right away?"

"We don't necessarily have to fight. Let's resolve your fiancée issue first, Sanji."

Luffy said, "What if we run into your family and end up on the opposite side?"

The Germa 66 members will definitely be at Big Mom's tea party, and it's not just them. According to the information Vivi found out, Big Mom's tea party is a spectacular event on the sea. Usually, all of Big Mom's children will be present at this time, which means they will be facing a complete Yonko pirate crew.

Meanwhile, prominent figures from various sectors who are associated with the Big Mom Pirates, such as Germa 66, will also be present.

As the Yonko with the most complex interpersonal relationships, Big Mom's surrounding forces are also not simple.

For example, emperors like Morgans, who controlled the underground trade, would go there.

As one of the Four Emperors, their every move attracts considerable attention, not to mention a tea party, a grand event that is sure to stir up the Navy's sensitive nerves.

At any other time, Akainu would have already ordered his men to keep a close eye on the Big Mom Pirates, but Big Mom was clearly very clever; the tea party was held at the same time as the World Government meeting.

The Navy and the World Government are busy escorting member states around the world and have neither the time nor the manpower to deal with Big Mom's affairs.

After all, the world is vast, but the world government is the greatest.

No matter how tough the navy is, it can't fight city hall.

Sanji had no qualms about clashing with Germa 66; aside from his sister Vinsmoke Reiju, he was ready to beat up his brothers and father.

Chapter 498 The Revolutionary Army wants to make a revolution, and I, Luffy, will lend a hand!

Zou.

The furry people saw them off with great reluctance, and they were very happy to see these hairless animals.

Come visit again sometime!

Carrot skipped and hopped along beside Luffy, looking reluctant to part with him.

Luffy laughed and said, "If you invite me to eat meat, I'll come whenever you call."

"A word is settled!"

Carrot extended her little hand and gave Luffy a high five.

"A word is settled!"

Then, taking advantage of Luffy's inattention, she kissed his ear again.

Uta's eyes widened as she charged forward, shouting, "Why are you eating it again!"

Carrot blinked innocently. "You can try it too."

Can I give it a try?

Uta was somewhat tempted by what she heard, until Nami and the others glanced over and she straightened her back and said, "We don't have that kind of custom."

Carrot said, "Oh, so you guys like to gnaw on your lips, don't you?"

She saw someone kissing Luffy's mouth last night, but it was too late to see who it was.

Uta: "???"

who is it!

Luffy laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go, Uta, let's go."

"Hey, what was that rabbit saying just now?"

Uta quickly went up to ask her what was going on, and she said that Nami was acting strangely last night, and that she was talking about all sorts of nonsense. It turned out that she was covering for someone!

Carrot stood still, her rabbit ears twitching, watching Luffy's retreating figure, a barely perceptible glint in her eyes.

Wanda walked up to her. "Carrot, you wouldn't be thinking of...?"

"Wanda, I want to go out to sea!"

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Think about it."

"Then go and talk to Boss Cat Viper."

Gallo nodded and turned to run towards the cat viper.

.......

The Straw Hat crew disembarked from Zou. The Sunny sat there quietly. Kuzan was sleeping on the deck. Seeing everyone come down, he took off his blindfold. "Ara ara, are we ready to set off?"

Brooke picked up her violin and said, "Yo ho ho ho, let me give you the opening performance."

Luffy looked around at his crewmates, who were all in position, and grinned, "Brothers, are you ready?"

"Ready!" everyone answered in unison.

"Then let's go for it..."

"Wait, wait a minute!"

A figure fell from the sky, startling Nami. She quickly swirled up a cloud and leaped with great momentum.

Nami looked at the person who jumped down with a puzzled expression. "Carrot? What are you doing here?"

Carrot, carrying large bags and bundles, nervously slipped past Perodua's gaze and approached Luffy. "I... I want to go to sea with you guys and see the world!"

According to the plan, Perodua would lead Luffy and his crew to Whole Cake Island, while Nekomamushi and Inuarashi would infiltrate Wano Country first.
