The person is wearing a straw hat, and starts with the power of words!

"What? Name this ship? At this time?" Nami exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, a ship without a name won’t set sail with any presence,” Franky said seriously. “How about calling it the Lion?”

"I have a really cool name! Black Bear, White Bear, Lion!" Luffy raised his hands high.

“No one would give a ship such a strange name!” Usopp retorted.

"Then let's go with the Tiger, Grey Wolf, and Lion!"

"Don't list animal names! What is this?! A spell?!" Usopp retorted again.

Immediately, everyone began a naming contest.

Squid, octopus, chimpanzee, meatball gorilla, lion ship, lion mom ship, Lionel big brother ship, sleeping lion old man ship, dark meatball, gentleman lion ship, sunflower gentleman, lion violent champion ship, cherry blossom pirate ship, etc.

When asked about Sima Di, he blurted out "Seven-Colored Mary Sue" and "Funeral Love Family" without even thinking, and was immediately scorned by everyone.

In the end, the new ship was given the name it deserved.

The Thousand Sunny.

Nickname: Sunny.

Suddenly, Mary appeared on the deck, laughing heartily.

He said he really liked the name!

Subsequently, under Frankie's command, Merry skillfully maneuvered the Sonny to launch its escape.

Explosion with the wind!

Under everyone's astonished gaze, the Sunny took to the air.

Emperor Sima smiled as he looked at the rapidly retreating City of Seven Waters.

Goodbye, City of Seven Waters.

Rest in peace, Master Bruce.

One day, I will burn the newspaper that records the destruction of the Spade Organization and send it to the underworld where you are.

Meanwhile, on Panaro Island.

Ace and his crew found Blackbeard three days ago, and a great battle broke out. Nearly half of the island was destroyed, and Ace was captured by Blackbeard.

Zero, who was traveling with Blackbeard, kept his promise to Sima Di and secretly released Cheng Yu and Xue Lihong.

However, Xue Lihong was not willing to give up. After Zero let her go, she did not run away. Instead, she and Cheng Yu hid on the island, waiting for the opportunity to rescue Ace.

Three days after that battle, which is today, a large number of Marines arrived here after receiving news from Blackbeard, including even Akainu, one of the three Admirals.

This demonstrates the importance the Navy placed on this matter, and it is not surprising that Blackbeard was directly promoted to one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Oh my, I never expected it to be Admiral Akainu. I am truly sorry for not welcoming you properly." Although Blackbeard's words were respectful, his tone and eyes did not reveal any of the obsequiousness he had shown earlier.

"Enough with the nonsense, where is Fire Fist Ace?" Akainu said with a cold snort.

“Right here.” Blackbeard stepped aside, and his two henchmen brought Ace, who was wearing Seastone shackles, forward.

Ace looked a bit disheveled, but his injuries had already been treated, and the bandaging was done quite professionally.

When Blackbeard handed Ace to Akainu, Zero keenly sensed a killing intent. He shifted his body to the side, blocking the killing intent behind him, so Blackbeard and Akainu did not notice.

Ling glanced casually to the side and saw that it was still Xue Lihong, who was staring intently at him.

It's that damn girl again? He's caught her dozens of times in the last three days, why is she still here? If he hadn't deliberately kept it a secret, Xue Lihong would have been chopped into mincemeat countless times.

Blackbeard and his crew then boarded a warship with Akainu and headed directly to Impel Down (the original plan was to go to Enies Lobby for the trial, but Enies Lobby had already disappeared from the map because of the Straw Hat crew).

After the ship set sail, Zero sighed helplessly and, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, came to a relatively secluded spot on the ship.

There's another guy here besides Zero.

"It's you again? Don't you get tired?"

Zero, who rarely expresses his emotions, revealed a sense of helplessness in his words at this moment.

Xue Lihong was dressed in naval logistics uniform and holding a mop and a bucket.

"What do you mean, 'It's me again'? I won't rest until Ace is rescued." Xue Lihong's eyes were fierce, as if she was about to launch an attack at any moment.

"Where is that former police officer?" Zero selectively ignored Xue Lihong's words and looked around for Cheng Yu.

"He... that coward didn't come." Xue Lihong's eyes were full of disdain. "I used to respect him a lot, but he backed down when faced with danger. What a piece of trash."

"I think he just doesn't want to play along with your nonsense anymore. He's spent so much time with you only because he was afraid you'd get into danger," Ling said coldly. "Xue Lihong, I remember I warned you last time that if you ever appeared before me again, I would kill you without hesitation."

126 is vodka mixed with water.

"Kill me? Fine, then go ahead and do it." Xue Lihong acted as if she feared nothing.

For the first time in his life, Ling felt a headache coming on.

"You...you're such a scoundrel. You knew I couldn't possibly do it. Li Hong, you really need to change your temper. Everyone has grown since that incident, but you're the only one who hasn't."

"Don't try to lecture me like an adult! I'm much older than you!" Xue Lihong said through gritted teeth. When did he become so lowly that a teenager was lecturing him?

“Age never represents experience… Look at you now, do you look like a child or do I look like one?” Zero sighed, somewhat helplessly. “I’ll give you a suggestion. When Ace is being executed, Whitebeard will definitely not let his own squad leader be killed. He will definitely go to the execution ground to rescue him. If you really want to save Ace, then go with Whitebeard.”

"Rescue...the execution ground?"

Xue Lihong remembered that Cheng Yu had given her the same advice, but she was in a fit of anger at the time and was too busy arguing with him to listen to a single word he said.

“That’s right, the execution ground rescue… Actually, from my recent interactions with Ace, I’ve discovered he’s a good person too. If he were to die, I would feel terrible,” Zero said.

"You made contact with Ace... So, you treated Ace's injuries?" Xue Lihong asked.

After Ace's battle with Blackbeard, Ace suffered numerous injuries. However, when he was handed over to the Marines, his wounds had been well treated. As for Blackbeard's crew, Xue Lihong couldn't possibly believe anyone would treat Ace's wounds. If it were Zero, then perhaps.

“It was just a casual thing… If my ship’s doctor were to treat me, it would be a gamble whether I live or die,” Zero replied.

"Well... thank you in advance," Xue Lihong said somewhat embarrassedly. She had treated Zero like that before...

"No need for thanks, just don't cause me any more trouble," Zero said. "It will take three hours to reach the next rest island, so hide well during that time. I'll let you leave here then."

The navy had originally planned to rest and regroup on Panaro Island, but because the island was almost completely destroyed, replenishing supplies would require a detour to the other side. Therefore, it was more efficient to sail directly to the next island.

"Okay, I understand. Usually, when I wear my navy uniform, no one can spot me!" Xue Lihong said confidently.

"Oh, then good luck." Zero said, then turned and left.

-

Cheng Yu on one side.

After a big argument with Xue Lihong, Cheng Yu realized he had been too childish. He was almost forty; why was he getting angry with a young girl? While rescuing Ace would have to be put on hold for now, Cheng Yu's primary task was to ensure Xue Lihong didn't cause any trouble and to bring him back safely.

"Where did that girl go? I clearly saw her get on this ship..."

Cheng Yu, dressed in the uniform of a naval soldier and carrying a gun, wandered around the naval ship.

"What...are you looking for?"

A deep male voice suddenly sounded behind Cheng Yu, startling him.

Cheng Yu quickly turned around and saw a tall, bald man dressed in the uniform of a naval vice admiral.

Cheng Yu quickly searched his memory for information and matched the person with the name Lieutenant General Pierre.

"Yes, Lieutenant General Pierre! I am on patrol! The area is Sector C and Sector D!"

"What's your name?" Pierre asked with a hostile look.

"Reporting to Lieutenant General! My name is Elmondo," Cheng Yu replied without hesitation.

"Elmondo... come with me, I have a mission to assign you."

"But Lieutenant General, I'm on patrol..."

"The patrol duties will be taken care of. Just follow me."

"Yes!"

Cheng Yu followed Pierre all the way to his office, feeling extremely uneasy.

It is said that this Vice Admiral Pierre was notorious for his ruthlessness. Usually, 80% of the pirates he captured were not sent to Impel Down, but were executed on the spot.

Why did this guy have to contact me by such a coincidence?

What exactly is he trying to do?

“Close the door,” Pierre said, sitting down at the desk, elbows bent, his eyes fixed on him menacingly.

"Ah...yes, yes, yes!" Cheng Yu hurriedly closed the door behind him, suddenly having a bad feeling.

127. What is the best way to do this?

Zero obediently went forward and sat in the spot where Blackbeard had been sitting, adopting a standard sitting posture and staring at Ace without moving. Akainu remained silent, and the three of them sat there awkwardly for a while.

After a while, Ace opened his eyes and saw that the guard had been replaced by the little girl who had treated his injuries before.
