Furthermore, they now have to find Nami and the others. Since the Navy is on this island, they will eventually encounter them no matter what.

In that case, a lot of trouble is inevitable.

Although the Straw Hat Pirates are not afraid of the Navy now, if the other side sends a few more warships and a few admirals, their first stop in the New World will be much more troublesome.

"Hopefully, not too many warships will come..."

Usopp let out a long sigh of relief, calming himself down.

"Who cares? Anyway, even if a lot of warships come, we can still set sail, right?"

Su Mu chuckled, glancing at the hidden navy personnel, but didn't think much of it.

It must have been Smoker and his group; it wouldn't have much of an impact on them.

"As for the Sunny... it would be quite troublesome if we didn't handle it."

Su Mu covered his chin, lost in thought.

Regardless, this ship is not like a person; it can't run away. It was only because it encountered naval artillery fire that it was in real danger of being destroyed if left unattended.

"Then let's bring him along too."

Su Mu nodded, looked at the Sunny, and then suddenly spread his blue flame wings and flew to the side of the Sunny.

"Bring the Sunny along?!"

Luffy and the others were startled.

Zoro couldn't help but exclaim, "You, do you have that much stamina?"

Although Zoro doesn't know exactly how much power Su Mu possesses, he's certain that using such an ability must require a lot of physical exertion.

Su Mu used fire, then ice, and kept using the navigation ability. Is this guy's stamina that good?

Su Mu naturally understood that after copying and strengthening so many people, his stamina had already reached a very high level. Even if his stamina was insufficient, he could refresh it by copying other people.

Su Mu touched the Sunny, and in an instant, the ship, which was still in the icy water, took off into the air.

"Alright! Let's lock onto Zoro again!"

Su Mu waved his hand and pointed at Zoro.

Zoro's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he was about to speak when Su Mu explained:

"Don't worry, Zoro, I'll control my speed and won't bump into you."

Su Mu laughed and folded his wings.

The group of five joined Brook and followed Snowball again, heading towards the place where Nami and the others had been captured.

……

On the other side, upon seeing the blue flame wings behind Su Mu, Smoker's pupils constricted sharply!

His body trembled slightly...

It's him, it really is him! Even though his appearance and hairstyle have changed quite a bit, those blue flame wings can't lie!

This person is the one with the bowl cut! Also known as Su Mu!

"That ship...it actually took to the air!!"

Seeing the USS Sonny take off, the naval soldiers couldn't help but marvel.

"What kind of ability is this? And what about those blue flame wings...?"

The naval soldiers took a deep breath and looked at Su Mu and the others.

They then discovered that the group had not escaped by boat upon discovering the navy, as they had imagined.

"By the way, Lieutenant General Smoker, just now, I vaguely heard them say... their partner was captured."

A navy officer stepped forward and spoke to Smoker.

"Caught?"

Smoker frowned and looked toward the center of the island.

"Sure enough, there are other people on this island."

"In that case, the Straw Hat Pirates probably won't leave so soon. We just need to make sure we don't get into any trouble with them."

"Everything proceeded according to plan, including the survey of the island."

…………

A factory on the island.

Kaiser Labs.

The place was piled high with test tubes, beakers, and various medicine bottles.

On the other side of the reagent bottle, there is a large sofa.

The light shone down and fell on a man with two horns on his head and wearing a light purple robe sitting next to the sofa.

This person was none other than Caesar, the mad scientist who conducted his insane experiments here.

Beside him was Monet, a bird-man with wings, an imposing upper body, and green hair.

"Hee hee hee hee hee... So the Straw Hat Pirates and the Marines have come to this island?"

Caesar held his head, his face calm, seemingly unmoved.

He scratched his head lightly, sighed, and said:

"This is really troublesome..."

"Ultimately, the reason I moved to this island to conduct experiments was to prevent other people from disturbing us."

Suddenly, a sinister glint appeared in Caesar's eyes, and a smirk appeared on his lips:

"Anyone who disturbs us should be eliminated!!"

"All the experiments conducted on this island must remain undetected!"

"Monet, you said you saw the Straw Hat crew on Fire Island? What about the dragon? Didn't it attack them?"

Monet, the birdman standing to the side, flipped through the wanted poster in his hand and nodded.

"Yes, I saw them on Fire Island, but there were only five of them at that time."

"The fire dragon... I don't know why, but they tamed it."

"Tamed?!!"

Caesar suddenly exclaimed in surprise, glancing at his hand in disbelief:

"Although that wasn't the strongest creature I ever created, how could it possibly be tamed?!"

"It was indeed tamed. That fire dragon, along with the five members of the Straw Hat crew, came to the snow island."

Monet flipped through the wanted posters and began to recount:

"Currently, the Straw Hat Pirates' total bounty is 800.050 Berries. Two years have passed, and their bounty has not increased, so their strength must be higher than their bounty."

As he spoke, Monet's brow furrowed again:

"But this person's bounty is '?', which is really puzzling... According to rumors, this person turned Marineford upside down during the Marineford War."

"Is it... a bowl cut?!"

Caesar's expression also turned serious. Doflamingo had been urging him to prepare to create the "Exchange Fruit" as soon as possible.

They were willing to go to any lengths to create it.

Caesar could not imagine the profound impact this guy, nicknamed "Pot Lid," or rather, "Sumu," had on Doflamingo during the Marineford War, using the "Exchange-Exchange Fruit."

Monet nodded, but then shook his head:

"But there were clearly five people on Fire Island. I recognize the other four, but only that one..."

"Since this guy called 'Pot Lid' joined the Straw Hat Pirates, then I haven't even seen him..."

"Four members of the Straw Hat Pirates have already been captured, but the Soul King Brook escaped. So, all things considered, could the one I don't recognize be Su Mu?"

Monet pondered for a moment, then shook his head:

"No, not at all."

Upon hearing this, Caesar's previously solemn expression suddenly changed, and he relaxed:

"Could it be... that the news of that guy with the bowl cut joining the Straw Hat Pirates was deliberately leaked by the Straw Hat crew to cover their tracks?!"

Caesar seemed to have figured it out, and suddenly laughed:

"I knew it! How could someone that powerful be in the Straw Hat Pirates! That stranger was probably just someone they found to take the fall!"

"In that case, I have no more reservations. The Straw Hat Pirates and the Marines will all be wiped out!"

"The secrets of this island must never be revealed!"

"Hmph, 'bowl cut' as you call yourself, and you've joined the Straw Hat Pirates? This genius scientist saw through your scheme long ago! Straw Hat Pirates!! Don't think you can pass yourself off as a bowl cut just because you found some worthless nobody!"

……

On the other side, Su Mu, who had just arrived at what appeared to be an abandoned castle, suddenly sneezed!
