Pa~!

Without any further words, Ace hung up the phone immediately after receiving Doflamingo's response.

However, at that moment, his crimson brows suddenly furrowed.

Something's not right!

He suddenly spoke up:

"Doflamingo's reaction is not normal!"

“He was too calm…and apart from his initial surprise, he didn’t doubt you at all.”

"This is very wrong!"

"Ace."

Crimson, biting her thumbnail, looked up at Ace and earnestly comforted him:

"Be prepared, the Navy may already be about to take action!!!"

……

……

at the same time.

Inside the royal palace of the Kingdom of Dressrosa, far away in the New World.

Doflamingo sat on his luxurious sofa, looking at the Den Den Mushi that had fallen asleep again, a slow, excited smile spreading across his face.

“Fufufufu…”

"The world has become more interesting!"

As he spoke, his gaze drifted up to the stage and landed on a summons letter next to the Den Den Mushi.

It was a summons letter from Marineford, Naval Headquarters, written personally by the Fleet Admiral!

The purpose of the summons was to require all the Shichibukai to attend a meeting at Marine Headquarters.

Those who refuse will be stripped of their Shichibukai status and become the Navy's primary target for capture.

Of course, if it were just a letter like this, even with Doflamingo's intellect and vision, he wouldn't be able to connect it to much.

What truly caused him to behave abnormally upon hearing Ace's name was a secret intelligence report from the Navy's G5 branch.

That was intelligence sent by Vergo, who had infiltrated the Navy and become a Vice Admiral.

One...

Information regarding the Navy's upcoming trap on an island to ambush and annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates!

Chapter 168 The Storm Is Brewing (Please Subscribe!)

The saying "the longer the night, the more dreams" applies to every world.

All intelligence has a time limit. The Navy, having obtained the intelligence provided by Blackbeard, naturally wanted to act as quickly as possible, taking advantage of the moment before the Whitebeard Pirates could react to deliver a devastating blow!

As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war, and every action will inevitably leave a trace.

The Navy's emergency deployment of soldiers to the New World did not escape the support of various forces.

Aside from Whitebeard, whose intelligence was blocked, and a small number of other forces, no one could perceive the Navy's true intentions in this troop deployment!

……

……

A new world, a certain sea area.

The massive Moby Dick was like a giant swimming in the boundless ocean, carrying the Whitebeard Pirates as they roamed freely across the seas.

However, at this very moment, a strange, ritualistic report was taking place aboard this magnificent warship!

"Dad! All the Den Den Mushi have died from electrocution overnight. This is not a simple phenomenon!"

Marco laid out rows of pitiful Den Den Mushi corpses on the deck and suggested to Whitebeard, who was receiving an IV drip:

"While we can't rule out the possibility that there's some special magnetic field in that sea area that targets Den Den Mushi, I think we should still be careful!"

"what do you mean……"

"Did someone kill these Den Den Mushi and cut off our communication capabilities?"

As Marco listened to his report, the white-bearded man sitting on the huge captain's throne slightly curled his lips, a look of composure and suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"Looks like someone doesn't want this old man to live too comfortably."

"Marco, only the Navy would be capable of doing something like this, right?"

“Hmm.” Marco said with a frown, “In recent years, the Navy’s research and development units have frequently produced all kinds of new weapons. They do have the capability to make such weapons.”

"Of course, we can't completely rule out the possibility of other forces!"

"After all, according to the intelligence we have received, both Kaido and Big Mom seem to be preparing to develop scientific capabilities."

"Dad, perhaps we should also consider this issue."

How powerful is technology...

Vegapunk has already provided the answer to this question.

With biological limitations imposed, technology will become the best option for people to overcome the current predicament.

Although the Whitebeard Pirates didn't have much ambition to dominate, they could not be too careful.

If you fall behind, you'll be vulnerable to attack!

"You can worry about that kind of thing!"

Whitebeard waved his hand dismissively, seemingly unconcerned about the technological aspects: "But regardless, since they've already given us a heads-up, we can't just leave without making any preparations!"

"Tell the children to be careful when they go out recently, so that the navy doesn't take advantage of them."

"Yes, Father!"

Marco nodded in agreement, then waved to his underlings to collect the Den Den Mushi's corpse.

Just before leaving, he subconsciously glanced once more at the corpses of Den Den Mushi scattered on the ground.

For some reason, he felt that this matter was not as simple as his father had said.

……

……

a few days later.

The New World, an island port under Whitebeard's jurisdiction.

A small warship flying the Whitebeard Pirates' flag slowly raised its anchor and sailed out onto the vast ocean.

Kingdo, the 11th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, sat in a chair large enough to completely envelop his massive body.

With his dark skin and dressed like a boxer, he was holding a retro gourd wine jug and gulping down a whole gourd of fine wine as if it were water.

"Hey~!"

"As expected of the fine wine brewed on Miyun Island, which is my father's favorite, it's even sweeter than wines from other places!"

Jin Gu wiped the lingering scent of wine from the corner of his mouth with the wristband on his arm. Recalling the cabin full of the same wine, a joyful smile immediately appeared on his face.

"With this fine wine, Dad will be happy for months to come!"

"Those women are such a nuisance. Don't they know that alcohol is the best medicine for men?!"

"They actually want Dad to quit drinking?! No way! Hahahaha... *burp*"

Kingdo, who had been secretly sent by Whitebeard to fetch the sake, let out a burp and smiled broadly.

This kind of task could only be taken on by someone who was equally addicted to alcohol.

In Jin Gudu's eyes, this was his father's unique favoritism towards him.

However, who could have imagined that this favoritism would become the fuse that plunged the Whitebeard Pirates into danger?

……

……

Shortly after Jin Guduo boarded the makeshift ship and slowly sailed away from Miyun Island Port.

A man dressed as a porter suddenly stopped what he was doing, and in a few quick steps disappeared into the crowd, arriving at a makeshift secret room.

After confirming that no one was around, he immediately found the Den Den Mushi hidden in the secret room and reported:

"The 11th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates has left the port."

"Up to now, all actions match the intelligence, so we can tentatively conclude that the intelligence provided by Blackbeard is true and reliable!"

"I see."

The Den Den Mushi, with its eyes half-open, suddenly spoke, but after saying a few words, it abruptly hung up.

Seeing this, the porter straightened his clothes and returned to the port to continue his arduous bricklaying work.

……

……

On the other side, in the waters near Miyun Island.

On the deck of a naval warship.

Kizaru Borsalino, one of the three admirals of the Navy, held a telegram from CP5 in one hand and raised the other hand, pointing a small Den Den Mushi (snail phone) at his wrist towards his face.

And soon, the Admiral's deep contemplation came from the Den Den Mushi:

"Hmm... Did Whitebeard really send Kingdo to Miku Island on a procurement mission?"

"They even timed it so precisely, with an error margin of no more than 7 days."

"It seems that the intelligence provided by that guy Marshall is indeed trustworthy!"

"very good!"
