These guys are ground-based pirates who have acquired the ability to dig holes.

A powerful aura of earth suddenly surged from the group. They placed their claws on the hard soil, but it was as easy as piercing tofu, and they easily dug a tunnel leading to the surface.

Unfortunately, their level was too low.

Otherwise, Bucky and his crew could have simply dug an underground tunnel and escaped directly from the port.

A moment later.

The land outside the hotel suddenly began to shift.

The commotion inside the hotel had already reached the outside world.

Many soldiers and guards in various uniforms were rushing into the hotel, trying to rescue their Celestial Dragon.

Just then, a clown's head with multicolored hair and a big red nose suddenly popped out from underground.

The clown looked around furtively for a moment, then his eyes fixed on something.

"Safe! Get on quickly!"

As they were speaking, a body with its upper and lower body separated suddenly leaped out of the hole in the ground.

Immediately afterwards, one after another strangely dressed figures leaped out of the cave.

Except for Alvida, who brought up the rear and was delayed due to her excessive weight, everyone else escaped successfully.

Immediately afterwards, Bucky ordered his men to quickly fill the hole.

"Go! Get out of here before the soldiers in the city can react!"

Bucky waved his cloak, changing back into his Thousand-Ry Demon attire, and waved to the crowd behind him.

Against the backdrop of various carnival parties, Bucky and his group were dressed like a stream merging into the sea, blending perfectly with the environment.

And just like that, the group of people quickly disappeared into the colorful carnival city.

Soon after.

Rows of soldiers and guards rushed to the vicinity of the hotel and immediately sealed off the area.

With the efforts of an incredibly strong city lord's guard, the solid candle wall was finally breached.

Everyone filed in and followed the reins into the now completely transformed arena.

but……

No matter how thoroughly they searched the entire arena, they still couldn't find a single Celestial Dragon.

"Damn it!!!"

Upon receiving the news, the Carnival City Lord rushed to the scene and forcefully struck the wax steps with his hammer, leaving a clear fist mark on them.

Then he immediately gave the order:

"Quickly! Seal off all ports and seaports in Carnival City!!!"

"Saint Serentinia must still be inside Carnival City. We absolutely cannot let anything happen to him!!!"

The lord's eyes turned bloodshot at the thought of the consequences if the Celestial Dragons were to cause trouble in his territory.

Celestial Dragons, the world's most elite nobles!

It is a supreme being in every corner of the world...

If something happens to him, then their Carnival City seems to be facing annihilation!

Having gone through so much to reach this position, the city lord knows all too well just how terrifying and cruel the Celestial Dragons can be when they go berserk!

Time passed slowly.

The commotion at the hotel quickly spread throughout Carnival City.

At this moment, both the Celestial Dragons' guards and the official forces of Carnival City were in complete chaos!

Terrified, the Lord of Carnival City ordered the mobilization of all forces in Carnival City to find the missing Celestial Dragon!

Soon after, the entire city was placed under strict lockdown.

Under the bewildered gazes of the public, this carnival city, known for its joy and celebrations, suddenly became deserted.

The celebratory props fluttering in the wind on the streets added to the desolate and eerie atmosphere of this deserted city.

……

……

The Grand Line, Marine Headquarters - Marineford.

Inside the office of Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

As a series of urgent phone rings, Sengoku, who was studying a plan to encircle and annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates, suddenly paused, then picked up the Den Den Mushi with a puzzled expression.

Before Zhan Guo could ask, an urgent voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, something terrible has happened!"

"A Celestial Dragon has run into trouble on Carnival Island in the Grand Line."

"The World Government demands that we immediately send troops to resolve this!"

"A Celestial Dragon!?" The Fleet Admiral Sengoku, upon receiving the call, was startled, then his brow furrowed instantly.

"Why now?!"

He said to the Den Den Mushi, "I understand~"

He immediately hung up the phone.

But the next second, Sengoku suddenly exhaled a long breath, raised his eyes, and looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was holding a cup of hot tea opposite him:

"What should we do, Crane!?"

Slurp~

The composed Lieutenant General Tsuru took a sip of hot tea and then calmly said:

"According to the regulations of the World Government, if a Celestial Dragon is in trouble, the Navy must send at least one Admiral to demonstrate the Celestial Dragon's sacred and inviolable status."

"So..." Sengoku's brow remained furrowed, "are we going to bring people back from the New World at this time!?"

"It seems like only Kizaru is capable of this!"

"Hmm, let's call Kizaru back first." A thoughtful look flashed in Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes. "Anyway, Whitebeard and the others will be arriving at the next island soon..."

"By then, it will be difficult to keep some things hidden any longer!"

"The new world will inevitably descend into chaos. It's good for Aokiji and the others to slow down and avoid being caught in the crossfire of Whitebeard's counterattack."

"In addition, the defense of major naval bases must also be addressed!"

Warring States nodded in agreement:

"Hmm~ Garp is now in the New World."

"If we find anything unusual about Whitebeard's side, we can just send his ships there!"

"Garp~" Tsuru's eyes gleamed as he looked at his wrinkled hands and murmured to himself, "We're all getting old..."

……

……

Soon, an urgent secret order summoned Kizaru back from a mission far away.

Meanwhile, the naval base near Carnival City also quickly deployed troops and rushed towards Carnival City.

Suddenly, the sea was filled with turbulent winds and clouds, as if even the sky had changed color.

……

……

Grand Line, Carnival Island.

In an empty courtyard near the port.

The Buggy and Barto pirate crews gathered here together.

Bartolomeo sat casually on the Celestial Dragon's lap, looking up in confusion:

"What should we do, Buggy-senpai?"

"The port has been blocked by the town's army, and our ships have been taken into custody."

"What did Lord Crimson say?!"

"Don't panic!" Buggy said gravely, "Lord Crimson is already on his way."

"We will be able to reach the port here soon."

"As long as we don't get caught by them, there won't be any problems!"

"Oh, really!?"

A sudden gleam of excitement flashed in Bartolomeo's eyes: "Finally, we can see the Straw Hat Pirates in person!"

"By the way, Senior Barto, is Lord Crimson really as mysterious as you say!?"

"Hmph~ Of course!" Buggy gave Barto a deep look and then said, "You'll never understand how terrifying Lord Red is until you've experienced it firsthand!"

"Hehehe~ That's something to look forward to!" Barto's eyes gleamed, and he became even more excited for the upcoming meeting.

However, at that moment...

Suddenly, a series of loud footsteps came from outside their door.

Then came a series of loud knocks on the door.

"Is anyone there?! We need to check..."

"Damn it! The pursuers have tracked us down!"

Upon hearing this noise, Mr. 3 immediately became alert.

The pirates also picked up their weapons, preparing for the upcoming battle.

The sound from outside the door came again:
