On Beehive Island, Roy designated a "scholars' area" with the most tranquil environment and the best security for the scholars of O'Hara.

This area was originally reserved for researchers who might be recruited in the future.

Now it comes in handy.

Xiong personally took charge of their resettlement, allocated living supplies, and arranged for medical staff to conduct regular check-ups.

Nicole Olvia and her daughter Robin moved into a two-story wooden house with a small yard.

Robin leaned against the second-floor window, gazing at the scene outside, so different from that of Ohara.

This place lacks the ancient tranquility of the Tree of Omniscience, but is filled with a vibrant, forward-moving force.

"Mom, is this... going to be our home from now on?" Robin asked softly.

Olvia walked to her daughter's side, gently put her arm around her shoulder, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"For now, that's true, Robin."

Mr. Roy has given us shelter, and we must adapt to life here.

Your studies cannot fall behind; I will continue to teach you archaeology and historical texts.

Uncle Cloba and the others will also take turns coming to teach you.

Olvia paused, looking at her daughter's innocent yet precocious face.

"Remember, Robin. O'Hara may be gone, but the knowledge resides in your mind."

The truth is in your heart.

Live on, become stronger, and one day you will finish what Ohara left unfinished.

Little Robin nodded vigorously, his little hands clenched into fists.

In the medical room, Sauro's enormous body lay on a specially made hospital bed.

The doctor is treating the fractures in his arms.

The medical conditions on Beehive Island are much better than those on O'Hara.

In addition, Sauro's own strong physique allows him to recover very quickly.

"Um... thank you."

Sauro silently thanked the busy doctors and nurses.

"You're welcome, Mr. Saul."

Captain Roy instructed that you be taken good care of.

An older doctor said with a smile,

"Your physical condition is truly amazing. With injuries like that, an ordinary person would probably have already passed out."

Sauro gave a wry smile and didn't reply.

He was filled with confusion at that moment.

Ohara is destroyed, Kuzan... that once like-minded friend now seems to stand at a crossroads.

And what about himself, this naval traitor?

Stay on Beehive Island?

This seems like a good choice; the Roy Pirates don't appear to be truly wicked.

They saved themselves, and they saved the flame of Ohara.

But can I really adapt to the life of a pirate?

After recovering from his injuries, perhaps he should have a proper talk with Captain Roy.

..........

Meanwhile, far away at Marineford, the atmosphere was far from "peaceful" as it was on Beehive Island.

Inside the Marshal's office, the newly appointed Marshal Sengoku...

His face darkened as he looked at the detailed mission report handed to him by Aokiji.

And supplementary explanation regarding the Roy Pirates' intervention in the Ohara incident, their rescue of some scholars, and their conflict with him.

Next to the report was a thick stack of files detailing all of Roy's "deeds" since his debut.

"Enies Lobby is breached; Impelton's great prison break assists the Golden Lion and the Red Earl in their escape."

Now they're directly interfering with the Buster Call.

Snatching someone from the general's command...

Sengoku took off his frog-like glasses, rubbed his throbbing temples, and felt his blood pressure soaring.

"Roy... that brat..."

Sengoku's thoughts drifted back to many years ago, to the black-clad boy he first met on the island of Sabaody.

At the age of eleven or twelve, facing the pressure exerted by two top-tier powerhouses, himself and Rayleigh,

Instead of collapsing, he awakened Conqueror's Haki in the face of despair!

He knew then that this boy was no ordinary person.

Sure enough, in the following years, Roy repeatedly surprised the Navy.

The Sabaody Archipelago was hit by a devastating tsunami, which receded calmly.

Infiltrate the new world, confront and clash with the Golden Lion, and escape unscathed;

They quickly formed an alliance with Kaido.

They gained a foothold in Wano Country and established a solid base.

Recently, they've gone even further, attacking Enies Lobby and infiltrating Impel Down to release two great pirates from the old era.

Now, they've even set their sights on Ohara!

"What exactly is he trying to do?"

Sengoku stared at Roy's name on the report, his brow furrowed.

"Overthrow the world government?"

Establish a new order?

Or... like Roger, are you searching for something?

Judging from the Roy Pirates' modus operandi, they are not simply destroyers or plunderers.

They have their own base, which is under construction, being managed, and attracting talent.

This kind of enemy, with its goals, plans, and actions, is far more terrifying than those pirates who only know how to burn, kill, and plunder.

"Bang--!"

"marshal!"

The office door was flung open, and Sakazuki, the Red Dog, strode in.

His face was even uglier than that of the Warring States period, and behind him were several lieutenant generals with indignant expressions.

"Although the operation in O'Hara was completed, the key figures, Nicole Olvia and her daughter,..."

And some of the core scholars were rescued by the Roy Pirates!

This is a blatant provocation against the authority of the Navy and the World Government!

I request that we immediately mobilize our forces to launch an attack on the New World Beehive Island!

Destroy the Roy Pirates completely!

Akainu's voice was like a suppressed volcano.

"General Sakazuki is right!"

"A swift and decisive blow is necessary!"

"We must not encourage this arrogance!"

Several hawkish lieutenant generals echoed this sentiment, and the crowd was in a frenzy.

Sengoku raised his head, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Akainu's face. He said in a deep voice,

"Sakazuki, calm down. Attack Beehive Island?"

What time do you think it is now?

Sengoku stood up and walked to the huge New World sea chart on the wall.

"Shiki the Golden Lion exacts a crazy revenge in the first half of the New World arc, causing our branch a lot of trouble."

Even with Lieutenant General Garp commanding G-1, he could barely hold the line!

"Kaido's Beasts Pirates are expanding rapidly, having already annexed more than ten islands surrounding Wano Country."

Its power has expanded rapidly!

The Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates have also increased their surveillance of the periphery of its territory.

Friction is constant! The new world is now a powder keg!

Sengoku's finger jabbed heavily into the location of Beehive Island.

"Honeycomb Island is located in the northern part of the New World Center, and its geographical location is sensitive."

The Roy Pirates are powerful, and they also have Kaido as an ally.

If we rashly mobilize a large army for a distant expedition, let alone whether we can successfully break through their long-established defenses,

The losses from the long journey alone, and the potential for interception by other pirate forces, constitute a huge risk!

He turned around, his gaze sharp.

"More importantly, although the great pirates of the New World are fighting each other for territory..."

But they are on the same page when it comes to confronting the navy!

If we launch a full-scale attack on Beehive Island, do you think Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom will just stand by and do nothing?

Even the Golden Lion might take the opportunity to stab us in the back!

At that point, the navy could very well be bogged down in a multi-front war!

Akainu clenched his fists, his raging fury almost bursting forth.

"Are we just going to let it go like this?!"

Let the Roy Pirates continue to grow stronger?!

He dares to snatch people from the general's hands now; is he planning to attack Mary Geoise directly in the future?!

Roy was lucky he didn't hear that, otherwise he would have applauded Akainu. Roy really did plan to ambush Mary Geoise!
