One Piece: Burning the Prison Clothes in the Setting Sun, Mihawk is dumbfounded.

The thing in front of him was a pure soul entity, something Im had never expected before.

Her abilities and soul share certain similarities, which can be seen to some extent as soul manipulation and transformation.

But this thing in front of me...

Im's gaze towards the void changed, now filled with surprise and excitement.

Is it possible to do it this way?

To become a pure soul being?

If that's really possible, can she do it too?

With the vast number of souls she controls, if they were to become pure soul beings, they might truly become gods.

The true God.

Thinking of this, Im moved again, and darkness reappeared, once again enveloping the void.

After a long while, the darkness receded.

"It cannot be branded, nor is its specific structure clear."

Disappointment flashed in Im's eyes.

If she could do that, she wouldn't need to consider anything else.

Dunn is very strong, but once she becomes a true goddess, Dunn will not be her match.

But now...

If we completely destroy this soul-like creature in front of us and study its structure bit by bit, we might succeed.

But time won't wait for her.

The declaration of war also brought her a huge crisis.

She had to resort to the previous alternative plan.

However, as she and Dunn had mentioned in their previous conversations.

It can at most bring destruction to the world, but it cannot bring victory.

Furthermore, in the world this thing existed in before, soul beings might not have been rare, and there might even have been ways to transform into this form.

A choice!

Im fell silent, staring intently at the soul creature on the ground.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

The maid stood respectfully not far away, not daring to make a sound.

"There was no other choice."

Im muttered to himself.

There really aren't many options.

If we can thoroughly study this thing, it can be used as a last resort. Until then, we should wait for it to sense the world it inhabits.

However, this will take time.

However, this timeframe cannot be determined.

It might be today, or it might be a year from now, or it might be longer.

"I know you can understand me and sense the world you came from; this is your only way to survive."

Im spoke to the void.

Upon hearing her voice, Xu, who had been as still as a dead fish, stirred and turned his head slightly.

The head, with most of its bone fragments torn off, was facing Im.

This one doesn't pose as much of a threat as before. Once it returns and replenishes its strength, it must kill all of these guys.

This is its idea.

Before doing anything else, pretend to be obedient.

Having made his own plans, Xu nodded to Im.

"Look at it."

Im gave instructions to the maid standing nearby.

"Yes, Lord Im."

The maid nodded upon hearing this.

Im did not place the Void elsewhere to guard it, but let it stay among the flowers.

After giving his instructions, Im went to see the Five Elders.

The Five Elders had been waiting for a long time. Upon hearing the faint footsteps, their expressions became even more respectful, but they could not hide the anxiety on their faces.

"Lord Im, the situation in the war is not optimistic."

Before Im could even speak, the Five Elders had already begun their report.

The war began as they had predicted, and the world's rebellion, as expected, erupted after the World Government's authority weakened.

Previously, nations that could only be exploited by the World Government had now joined the ranks of rebels.

And the world government personnel in these countries were all hit.

Even in countries where there are strong rulers, this remains true.

As for the naval bases scattered around the world that obey the World Government's orders, most of them are directly retreated to their bases. Only a very small number obey the World Government's orders to suppress any rebellions that occur, but this is a drop in the ocean.

In short, the situation is generally very bad.

The Celestial Dragons are targets that many people want to kill.

After the report, the five people knelt down on the ground.

"Lord Im, we hope you will intervene."

This is the purpose of the five people's visit.

More undead warriors are needed to deal with this crisis.

But the five of them were also very clear about it, and had discussed it many times.

Even if there were such a legion, defeat would be inevitable sooner or later as long as that person was alive.

But the matter circled back to Dunn.

How to deal with this person.

"navy."

Im spoke.

The five people were about to speak when they heard this.

"The Navy will assist in holding them off."

Im spoke again, but then fell silent.

After a long while, the five people looked up, but there was no one on the throne.

The five people stood up and looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt.

"Lord Im was prepared?"

The navy is now out of control, but Im's words made them realize that there are still things they don't know.

In navies around the world, on some people's bodies, strange tattoos lit up, and then spread out into a strange pattern.

Then, the look in their eyes changed.

The previously huddled naval base began to mobilize after a period of chaos.

In the New World, in the area where the Sengoku period and high-ranking naval officers resided, in the former Wano Country.

The navy was also in turmoil.

After a long while, the chaos subsided.

However, the navy has lost more than half of its warships.

"These guys."

Sengoku gazed solemnly in the direction where the large number of warships had departed.

"They've been taken into custody."

Lieutenant General Tsuru spoke, which didn't seem surprising.

"During the chaos, many people who suffered fatal injuries recovered quickly."

Kizaru raised his hand to look at his freshly trimmed nails and said casually.

"It's more serious than I thought."

Zhan Guo sighed deeply. He had been hoping for the best, but now it seemed that what he feared would come to pass.

"So, Marshal Sengoku, are you going to join the war?"

Kizaru seemed quite pleased with his manicured nails, and looked up at Sengoku, asking a question.

"I rarely see you so proactive."

Sengoku suddenly turned around and looked at Kizaru, scrutinizing him with a critical gaze.

"Don't look at me like that, Marshal Sengoku. I'm not one of those monsters."

Kizaru raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"I just feel that it's not good for the Navy to just stand by and watch this kind of thing. If we really do that, after it's over, regardless of who wins, the real key question is what the Navy will stand on in the future."

"That doesn't sound like something you would say."

"I'm also thinking about the Navy. If we really don't react, it won't be legitimate for us to take a share of the pie in maintaining world order in the future."

Kizaru gave a warning.

"After all, we didn't contribute anything; we even caused trouble. Although we've received that person's promise, what will the others think?"

"Borsalino, who contacted you?"

Before Sengoku could reply, Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Kizaru and suddenly asked a question.

"The General Staff is joking."

Kizaru's expression stiffened, and he gave a perfunctory reply.

"Drag, or someone else?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru inquired again.

"Drag?" Sengoku's gaze toward Kizaru turned serious upon hearing the name.

"Speaking of which, Vegapunk's disappearance is largely related to Dragon, and you were previously Vegapunk's bodyguard."

"Okay, okay, Dragon did contact me."

Seeing that he had been guessed, Kizaru stopped denying it and sighed as he admitted it directly.

"So, I'm surrounded by a bunch of guys who have their own ideas?"

Zhan Guo twitched the corner of his mouth, looking somewhat speechless.

"The Revolutionary Army is now cooperating with the Hunter's Guild, and they will definitely have their own foothold in the future. The Navy can't just do nothing; they can work together with the Revolutionary Army to uphold justice in the future."

Kizaru said with a smile.

"Um."

Sengoku nodded slightly. Kizaru was about to continue speaking when Sengoku raised his hand to interrupt him.

"That's what you say, but where's the candidate?"

"How about I lead the team?"

This time, Kizaru didn't refuse and immediately prepared to accept the mission.

"Notify Akainu, Aokiji, and Garp."

After thinking for a moment, Zhan Guo spoke.

"Hey, Marshal Sengoku, you're not planning to get back at me, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Kizaru instinctively said...

"Go and inform them, as soon as possible."

The Warring States period waved his hand.

Kizaru shrugged and turned to leave.

"This guy and Dragon must have been in contact for a long time."

Lieutenant General Tsuru spoke.

"It's possible, but not that kind of relationship."

The Warring States period shook its head.

Although they maintain contact, Kizaru remains with the Navy and has not joined the Revolutionary Army.

"However, I have indeed thought about this matter."

Zhan Guo spoke in a deep voice, a worried look on his face.

"Although Dunn said that the Navy would not interfere, this situation is beyond the Navy's control, as are the situations of those that have broken away and other naval bases."

At this point, Sengoku raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows.

"To cooperate with the Hunter's Guild?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru inquired.

"No, let's divide the tasks. Our task is still those monsters."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhan Guo shook his head.

"What about the other naval bases?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru inquired again.

What do you think?

"I think we have to take action and stop those people, otherwise it will become too chaotic."

"They're all from the navy."

The Warring States period nodded.

"This move is not difficult for the Hunter's Guild and others to deal with, but it is a big problem for the Navy."

They knew there were problems within the Navy, but those attacked by the Navy didn't.

All those people saw was the naval attack.

As for what kind of navy this is, these people have no idea.

"How's the Sky Island situation going?"

Inquiry during the Warring States period.

"There was no interruption."

Vice Admiral Tsuru replied, clearly indicating that the Navy was not entirely unaware of the situation on Sky Island.

"Dun is still on Skypiea, and the Hunter Exam has not ended due to the accident."

"You look very relaxed."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo nodded.

"That's true, but Dunn probably feels confident of victory, and judging from the current situation, that's certainly the case."

Lieutenant General He nodded slightly, his tone helpless.

"His strength is enough to disregard many things and change the course of this war. If the World Government cannot come up with a specific way to deal with him, then Dunn's victory is inevitable; it's just a matter of time."

"Yes, I think so too."

Zhan Guo nodded slightly.

"marshal!"

A navy officer strode over.

"Whitebeard has returned to the Whitebeard Pirates, and Charlotte Linlin has also reappeared."

"Um?"

Sengoku was taken aback by what he heard, and exchanged a glance with Vice Admiral Tsuru.

"They've been released? Looks like they'll have to join the war too."

After a moment's thought, Lieutenant General Tsuru spoke.

"That must be it." Sengoku nodded.

"They were on the Sky Island a while ago, and they're back so quickly. It seems Dunn's methods are quite powerful."

After thinking for a moment, Zhan Guo let out a gasp of surprise.

"Let's go. When they get back, the navy will need to make some moves too."

Zhan Guo shook his head slightly, then turned and left.

"Clean up the area, treat the wounded, and reorganize the uninjured to be ready for action at any time."

Lieutenant General Tsuru turned his head and said.

"Okay, Sister Crane."

Momousagi nodded and looked at Chaton, who was wrapped in bandages.

The two of them had overheard the entire conversation and were shocked and somewhat excited.

After the two left together, Momousagi looked at Chaton walking beside her.

I thought you would go with those people.

"Yes, I thought I would be like that too."

Tea Pig grinned upon hearing this, his expression strange.

"After all, my advancement was all under the orders of the World Government. Logically speaking, the people of the World Government..."

As Cha-tun spoke, he looked at his left arm, which was wrapped in bandages.

"However, I don't think the World Government can win. They can't just go and die."

"Oh!"

Momousagi chuckled upon hearing this.

"Ugh, this is difficult, it's really troublesome."

Tea Pig was no longer in the mood to pursue the goddess; he was indeed a bit numb.

Chaton, a candidate for general, is both strong and holds a high position.

However, he didn't have much freedom, nor did he have the ability to do whatever he wanted.

The reorganization of the navy continues.

On Nut Island in the New World, Katakuri stood ramrod straight, his eyes fixed on the tall figure not far away.

At this moment, Charlotte Linlin looked at Katakuri and the group of two women behind him who looked terrified.

"Katakuri, you are so kind."

Charlotte Lingling opened her mouth, and it looked like she was smiling, but the smile that revealed her white teeth didn't look like she was happy at all.

"President Dunn said that all my brothers and sisters have already been brought."

Katakuri didn't reply to this, but turned to look at his pale-faced sister.

Upon hearing this, Brulee quickly opened his mirror space, and then released a large group of people from it.

"Katakuri, you bastard..."

As soon as someone came out and saw Katakuri, they were about to start cursing, but before they could finish speaking, they saw Charlotte Linlin, and the group of people were stunned.

"Mother!"

"Hmph, let's go!"

Charlotte Linlin glanced at Katakuri, resisted the urge to punish her son, and turned to leave.

"Mom, the fleet we arranged for you is ready."

Seeing Charlotte Linlin turn and leave, Katakuri spoke again.

"Katakuri-nii, Mom's back, what should we do?"

Not only Brûlée, but also other Charlotte family members who followed Katakuri are now panicking.

"Our goals are the same for now. As for what to do next, I'll figure it out."

Katakuri said in a deep voice.

He didn't expect Dunn to release the man.

However, judging from the current situation, this mother still has concerns.

At least for now, things don't look too bad.

In contrast to the somber atmosphere on their side, the Whitebeard Pirates were currently in a state of revelry.
