I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Even if left unattended, most of the Supernovas will encounter obstacles when they enter the New World, either being defeated and falling into obscurity, or being recruited by the Four Emperors.

Much later.

A sergeant suddenly knocked on the door and entered, beginning his report:

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Rayleigh, the Dark Lord, has appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago!"

"Oh? Tell me more." Zhan Guo was taken aback, put down his work, and listened intently.

"When Admiral Hyuga was chasing the Straw Hat crew, Rayleigh appeared in time and stopped Admiral Hyuga, allowing the Straw Hat crew to escape."

"Oh? Rayleigh is helping the Straw Hat Pirates?" Sengoku was slightly surprised.

Rayleigh then left, while Admiral Higuma continued the pursuit of the escaped Straw Hat crew.

"Later, Rayleigh reappeared while Admiral Higuma was conversing with Celestial Dragon Saint Roswald, and the two sides clashed again. The aftershocks of the battle reached Celestial Dragon Saint Roswald..."

"Another Celestial Dragon attacked? This time it was Rayleigh?" Sengoku frowned.

"Are the Celestial Dragons injured?" he asked.

"No... I was just knocked unconscious by Rayleigh's Conqueror's Haki."

"That's good." Sengoku felt a little relieved.

Since the Celestial Dragons were not substantially injured, the situation is still within Sengoku's control and is unlikely to escalate further.

With a major battle imminent, the Navy doesn't have the extra energy to spare for dealing with Rayleigh at this crucial moment.

It is worth mentioning that in the story that Sun Bear ordered his subordinates to report, Tyrant Bear was not deeply involved.

Kizaru had already left the office sofa, while Akainu, who remained there, couldn't help but listen intently.

"But then something else happened..." the naval officer continued his story:

"Admiral Higuma released the Celestial Dragons' slaves in the streets... and ordered warships to blockade the entire island, using the pretext of capturing Straw Hat Luffy and other pirates to begin capturing slaves everywhere!"

After hearing a rough outline of what had happened, Sengoku's expression changed.

Before Higuma encountered the Celestial Dragons, things were alright.

But the latter half was entirely a pretext; they actually sealed off the entire island and began capturing slaves...

"I should have thought of that sooner, I should have thought of that sooner." Zhan Guo stood up abruptly, shaking his head in frustration.

"Higuma is more radical than I imagined; he actually did something like this."

"Was it because he encountered a Celestial Dragon and acted out of anger?"

To be fair, the Warring States period is understandable.

Just as I was thinking this, the Den Den Mushi on my desk rang.

Sengoku picked up the receiver and listened to one sentence; his expression immediately changed.

"What was the incident involving Higuma on the Sabaody Archipelago during the Warring States period? Did you secretly orchestrate it?"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Steel frame hollow.

He was Sengoku's former superior and is now the commander-in-chief of the World Government's army.

Has the situation escalated to this extent? Someone has reported it directly to the World Government's Steelbone Kong?

Sengoku paused for a moment before replying:

"Brother Kong, it's like this. Higuma is young and hot-blooded. He probably got angry after seeing the Celestial Dragons... and released some slaves."

"A moment of anger? Warring States, let's not beat around the bush between us." Steelbone Kong shook his head:

"The entire Sabaody Archipelago is now in complete chaos, with nobles from various countries residing there all complaining..."

"Higuma has blockaded the entire island and clashed with Doflamingo. Not only did he rob slaves, but he also robbed his subordinates."

"As a Marine, how could you attack the King of a member state and a Shichibukai... Was there really no secret instruction from you involved?" Kong asked loudly.

"This is not as simple as just placing some slaves... This situation is likely to create a slave liberation movement that will affect the entire island."

"What?" Sengoku was also stunned.

He hadn't heard any further reports and never imagined that Higuma would make such a big fuss.

on the sofa.

Akainu's expression faltered slightly.

"Freeing slaves? What he's doing is just like what the Bat King did back then..."

He was reminded of the Bat King, who had appeared briefly in the long night ten years ago.

The Batman King once did something similar.

Akainu originally thought that the identity of the Navy was too restrictive, and that he needed an identity like the Bat King to further uphold justice.

Surprisingly, his identity as a Marine couldn't restrain Higuma's actions at all; neither the Celestial Dragons, Doflamingo, nor anyone else could stop him...

"Is this his way of justice?" Akainu muttered to himself.

"I don't care what the details are, you must control this situation," Steelbone Kong said in a deep voice.

"The Navy Admiral's crackdown on the slave market in the Sabaody Archipelago has already harmed the interests of the Celestial Dragons."

"An admiral's actions will be seen as the will of the Navy. If the World Government interprets this as a signal that the Navy is preparing to intervene in its affairs, then there will be a serious problem..."

“I understand…” Zhan Guo hung up the phone, his brows furrowing.

............

"Open the door, I need to check the water meter!"

Squads of naval personnel broke down doors and, following the list provided by Higuma, began searching house after house on the Sabaody Archipelago.

Under the tutelage of Admiral Higuma, the navy personnel behaved in the same manner.

"What are you trying to do? That's my slave! She's mine!"

"You mean slaves?" Ain stared directly at the wealthy merchant in front of him, casually placing the straw hat he was holding on the male slave's head.

"Nonsense!"

"This is clearly Straw Hat Luffy. Don't think I won't recognize you just because you're not wearing a hat."

"take away!"

"What Straw Hat Luffy? This is a slave I bought! I bought it with real money!"

A businessman stared wide-eyed, looking as if he had suffered a great injustice, and was trembling with anger.

Another wealthy woman whose slaves had been confiscated trembled with rage over her chubby face.

"What kind of navy do you think you are? This is blatant robbery!"

"Slaves are our personal property. What right does the navy have to confiscate them?"

"That's right! If the Celestial Dragons can buy it, why can't we?"

The wealthy people whose slaves had been confiscated were outraged and discussed the matter amongst themselves.

"Navy, don't think you can do whatever you want! We're going to jointly report this to the World Government!"

"The Sabaody Archipelago has always been a slave market, and it has been like this for many years. You are just making things worse!"

Looking at the dignitaries before them, Ain and the other navy personnel felt a growing chill in their hearts.

These high-ranking officials did not believe they were wrong and confronted the navy with righteous indignation.

yes.....

It's always been like this.

The problems in the Sabaody Archipelago have been long-standing, and the slave market involves the Celestial Dragons, so no one can interfere.

A Marine Admiral? Doesn't he still have to clean up the Celestial Dragons' messes?

There are admirals and marshals in every generation of the navy, but they can only turn a blind eye to this.

Even Garp, the naval hero who has been praised for many years, was helpless.

His fists were hard, but that was all.

It's always been like this...

"Just because it's always been this way, does that mean it's right?" Ain suddenly asked.

The nobles surrounding her were taken aback and fell silent for a moment.

Then the noise from all directions grew louder.

“Of course you’re right, are you questioning the world government?” someone started to label him.

"Is there any justice or law left in the world when the navy robs individuals of their private property?"

“My slaves were purchased. This is the purchase receipt, along with their health certificates...it's all legal, and stamped by the relevant authorities!”

Ayn’s expression turned cold. She stepped forward and snatched the certificate away.

"Your credentials can save us a lot of trouble and help identify the suspect, which is a great help."

"We are investigating the attack on a Celestial Dragon. Are you trying to obstruct us?"

She ignored the nobles' entanglement, pushed aside those around her with a slight force, and waved her hand:

"Take all the suspects away!"

"Take them to the commercial district, and Admiral Higuma will identify the suspects!"

"Yes!" the sailors answered in unison, their eyes blazing with determination.

As a general, Sig, the shadow clone, ordered everyone to bring the suspect to him for processing, which meant he took on all the responsibility.

As subordinates, what else do they have to worry about?

Before, they simply followed Higuma, listening to his orders and secretly experiencing their own emotions.

Now, each and every one of them is personally involved in this event.

Everyone is a participant, not a follower standing beside the sun bear.
