"Stella, prepare the fastest voyage plan for the Ark Proverb immediately."

We need to get there before the naval fleet arrives in Ohara.

Roy looked at Stella.

Stella immediately pulled up the nautical chart.

"The journey from Beehive Island to Ohara in the West Sea normally takes at least ten days."

However, if you utilize the full-power flight of the Ark Maxim, coupled with your telekinetic assistance, Captain,

Perhaps we can compress the time to... three days.

"Three days..."

Roy frowned.

"It's still too slow. I believe the navy has already been deployed. We need to be faster."

Tesoro suddenly spoke.

"Boss, if I were to output electricity at any cost, and combine it with your telekinesis to reduce air resistance,..."

Perhaps it could be twice as fast.

"What's the price?" Roy asked, looking at him.

"The energy system of Ark Maxim may be overloaded and damaged, and repairs will require time and a large amount of resources."

Tezzolo admitted.

Roy didn't hesitate: "Let's do it. Resources can be earned again, but time can't wait."

"yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the entire Beehive Island sprang into action.

Ten minutes later, Ark Proverb was ready to depart.

Golden arcs of electricity began to leap across the ship's surface as Tesoro stood before the control panel.

With both hands on the control panel, his whole body was enveloped in lightning.

"Boss, we're ready."

Tesoro's voice was somewhat distorted by the lightning.

Roy nodded, then turned to his companions who were seeing him off and said, "I'm leaving the island in your care."

"Captain, be careful," the bear said gently.

"Come back soon, don't die out there."

Crocodile, with a cigar in his mouth, spoke in a cold tone, but his eyes held a hint of concern.

Barrett was already standing eagerly on the ship's side, grinning.

"Finally, I can stretch my muscles again!"

Roy smiled and leaped onto the deck.

"Set off!"

Om-!

The engines of the Ark Proverb roared like never before, and the entire ship was completely enveloped in golden lightning.

The ship shook violently, and then shot into the sky like an arrow released from a bow!

This takeoff occurred without any buffer.

The ship rose almost vertically into the air, and the shockwave it generated as it broke through the clouds created a huge dent in the seawater below.

"Full power output!"

Tesoro roared, and lightning erupted from his body, surging into the ship's energy core.

The speed of Ark Proverb increased again, leaving a golden streak in the air before disappearing into the eastern horizon in an instant.

On the ground, Eagle Eye watched the departing streak of light and calmly said,

"Return to your posts. Starting today, Beehive Island is under Level 1 alert."

"yes!"

......

High in the sky, above a sea of ​​clouds.

The Ark Maxim flew at an astonishing speed, its hull surrounded by golden lightning and a nearly visible barrier of psychic energy.

Roy stood at the bow, maintaining a psychic barrier to reduce air resistance.

At the same time, it senses the weather conditions ahead and adjusts its course in advance.

Barrett stood beside him, gazing at the sea of ​​clouds rushing past below, and remarked with a sigh,

"This speed is faster than when I run at full speed."

"The cost was not small either."

Roy looked at Tezzolo in the center of the ship.

"The energy system is already 30% overloaded. At this rate, it may be more than 60% damaged by the time it reaches the West Sea."

"These losses are worthwhile as long as people can be rescued."

Tesoro gritted his teeth, sweat already beading on his forehead.

"Besides, didn't you say, boss, we can earn more resources?"

Roy didn't say anything more, but instead poured more psychic energy into the barrier to further reduce resistance.

The ship's speed increased again.

If someone were to look up at the sky at this moment, they would only see a golden streak of light flash by.

So fast that even afterimages are hard to catch.

......

The West Sea is the sea area near the Upside-Down Mountain.

Five massive naval warships are cutting through the waves.

These warships were larger than ordinary warships, and their hulls were painted dark blue.

The bow is carved with the head of a ferocious sea monster, and the flag of a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters flies on the mainmast.

This is the Buster Call fleet.

On the flagship's bridge, two tall figures stood side by side.

The person on the left is wearing a red suit with a white cloak draped over his back with the word "Justice" printed on it.

His face was as hard as iron, his lips were tightly pressed together, and his eyes revealed an undisguised killing intent—the new admiral, "Akainu" Sakazuki.

The person on the right, wearing a white suit and a matching "Justice" cloak, is taller and has tousled hair, with a lazy expression on his face.

But his eyes held a sharpness that belied his appearance—the new admiral, "Aokiji" Kuzan.

"Kuzan, this mission cannot afford to fail."

Akainu spoke, his voice low and serious.

"The scholars of Ohara have touched an absolute taboo and must be completely eliminated."

Aokiji yawned.

"Oh, I know."

"But Sakazuki, do you really think it's necessary to use the Buster Call?"

There are many innocent civilians on those hills...

"To study the history of the blank 100 years is the greatest sin!"

Akainu interrupted Aokiji, his tone resolute.

"Necessary sacrifices are acceptable in order to maintain world stability."

Those scholars who spread forbidden knowledge will cause even greater turmoil.

As for ordinary people... if they choose to associate with criminals, that is their own choice.

Aokiji frowned, but didn't say anything more.

He knew Sakassky and knew that arguing about this issue was pointless.

Just then, a soldier on the lookout tower shouted a report:

"CP's rendezvous vessel spotted ahead!"

The two looked up and saw a black speedboat heading towards the fleet.

Several men dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses stood at the bow of the ship.

Soon, the Clippers pulled up to the flagship.

A middle-aged man wearing a striped suit, with slicked-back hair and an arrogant expression, boarded the deck.

If Roy were here, he would definitely recognize this person.

It was Spandine, the CP9 commander in charge of the Enies Lobby incident.

"General Sakazuki, General Kuzan."

Spandam gave a perfunctory salute, his tone clearly showing his displeasure.

"You're too slow! The situation in Ohara is extremely urgent!"

Akainu's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Spandam, watch your tone. It's none of CP's business how the Navy operates."

Spandam was intimidated by Akainu's imposing aura and instinctively took a step back, but then quickly regained his composure.

"I am here to oversee this operation under the direct orders of the Five Elders!"

"Besides, your navy has its own problems, are you saying we can't even speak up?"

"What's the problem?" Aokiji raised an eyebrow.

"Your Vice Admiral Haguval D. Saul!"

Spandam said through gritted teeth,

"That traitor! He secretly released Nico Olvia, a wanted criminal of the World Government, and even helped her escape back to Ohara!"

"If it weren't for him, we would have secretly dealt with those scholars long ago; there would have been no need for the trouble of using the Buster Call!"

Akainu's face darkened further.

Saul is a vice admiral in the Marine Headquarters, a giant, and quite powerful. More importantly, he is Kuzan's friend.

Aokiji's expression also turned serious.

"Spandam, do you have any evidence that Saul betrayed the Navy?"

"Evidence? My men saw him let Olvia go!"

Spandam said excitedly,

"Olvia must have returned to Ohara by now and informed the scholars!"

Our raid plan is completely ruined! It's all your navy's fault!
