One Piece: We already have the Four Gods, so my Six Paths Sage is reasonable, right?

"Hehehe~~ Idiot Silver Axe, don't you know who's drunk? Ron's gone to be the King of the World." Golden Lion sneered.

Silver Axe ignored him. The more you pay attention to this kind of jerk, the more energetic he gets.

And what's wrong with us friends bragging to each other? Who gives you, an outsider, the right to tell us what to do?

Uh... Although Ron didn't seem to consider him a friend, Silver Axe didn't think it mattered. He just needed to treat Ron as a friend. Familiarity breeds contempt, and feelings are something that develop gradually over time.

"Really? You just went with Lingling to save those kids, how did you end up fighting the King of the World?" the white-bearded man asked, slightly suspicious.

He always believed Ron's words, but there was a limit to that trust. Ron may have indeed run into Im again, but "slunk away." Whitebeard thought it was most likely "Ron" himself.

After all... that's what happened last time.

"I don't know. It just appeared out of nowhere on the street, called my name, said it had been waiting for me for a long time, and then chattered on and on before chasing after me," Ron said, shrugging as he recalled.

Actually, he was genuinely afraid of being attacked by Imza.

Later, after discovering that Dark Domination had no effect on him, Ron finally resolved this inner conflict.

"Gurarara~~~~" The white-bearded man laughed, looking up. He knew it; it was Ron who slunk away.

"Hey, Kaido." Ron suddenly turned to look at Kaido beside him.

"What?" Kaido was stuffing a piece of roasted meat into his mouth, his cheeks bulging, and his eyes were filled with a hint of wariness.

"Would you like to increase the bounty?"

"No way!" Kaido clicked his tongue dismissively. "Are you trying to drag me to Mary Geoise again? Do you think I'll fall for the same trick twice?"

Hahaha~~

Ron laughed. "That's a real shame. I really wanted to go with you to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and see what that place that claims to be the 'Creator' looks like."

Of course, this time Ron wasn't joking with Kaido; he genuinely had such thoughts.

Kaido snorted again, with an expression that said, "See if you believe me or not."

-------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in another sea area.

That island where Ron and the Five Elders once fought.

At this moment, the island is surrounded by numerous naval warships.

This is the Buster Call, directly authorized and executed by the World Government.

Moreover, the configuration was several times larger, and the mission was carried out jointly by a naval admiral and the Knights of God.

However, since Kong volunteered, the original admiral was replaced by him.

The World Government attaches great importance to this because if the traces here were to get out, it would be enough to crush the World Government's credibility to an all-time low.

What's even more terrifying are the scattered pieces of information: the arrival of the Five Elders, the secret of immortality, and things that shouldn't be known to ordinary people. Once exposed, it's like tearing a crack in the wall, and no one can say for sure what will happen next.

"Brubru~~~"

"Brubru~~~"

On the bow of the warship flying the World Government flag, the ringing of a Den Den Mushi broke the stagnant silence on the deck.

Steel Bone Air answered the Den Den Mushi and slowly said, "Please speak."

"Lord Kong, we've investigated everything. Most people on the island have started rebuilding their homes after the incident, and only a small number have left."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Steelbone Sky gave them a positive evaluation of their efforts.

"Master Kong, it is our honor to serve the World Government."

"Hmm~" Kong Kong gave a light "hmm" and then hung up the Den Den Mushi.

At that moment, a figure slowly turned around at the bow of the ship.

Garin looked at Steel Bone Sky and calmly said, "Execute it."

Steel Bone paused slightly, his fingers gripping the Den Den Mushi: "Karin, none of the men we sent out have returned."

"So what?" Garin's voice remained calm. "The life of an insect is not worth my time."

Steel Bone Sky's expression changed: "Garin Saint, if you're in a hurry, you can leave first. Leave the rest to us."

"you?"

Garin Saint coldly replied, "Heh, you overestimate yourselves. If the World Government trusted you with this matter, why would they have sent me along?"

Steel Bone Kong took a deep breath, suppressing the rising anger, and said in a deep voice, "For my sake, Garin Saint, please wait a moment longer."

"You?" A faint smile appeared on Garin Sei's lips. "What face do you have?"

Kong's expression changed drastically in an instant. He was, after all, a high-ranking officer in the Navy, but he never expected that Garin would show him no respect at all.

"Karin-sei, don't go too far."

Garin remained unfazed, saying in a nonchalant tone, "Carry it out, or... are you going to disobey the World Government's orders?"

After saying that, Garin Sheng just looked at him quietly.

The silence lasted for several seconds, then more than ten seconds, like a rope being stretched taut, slowly reaching its limit.

Steel Bone lowered his gaze, switched to a Den Den Mushi, and said in a deep voice, "Execute."

The moment the command was given, all the cannons on the sea simultaneously turned their direction.

Then, black shells were fired one after another from the cannon barrel, drawing beautiful arcs in the air.

"Boom~~~"

"Boom~~~"

The shells were so dense they resembled a relentless downpour.

The entire island seemed to be ablaze, with flames leaping and spreading along the ground, and thick smoke billowing and piling up in the sky, forming a heavy black curtain that completely blocked out the light of day.

Steel Bone Kong gave instructions with a dark expression throughout, and he didn't say another word to Garin Saint.

The figure at the bow remained standing there, neither urging nor turning back.

The artillery fire lasted for a long time, so long that even the distant sea was tinged with a dark red by the flames.

The entire island slowly collapsed, blurred, and deformed during the explosion.

After the Buster Call is completely over.

Garin Saint slowly walked up to Steel Bone Kong, then took out a neatly folded wanted poster from his pocket and handed it to Steel Bone Kong.

The edges of the paper were slightly lifted by the sea breeze, revealing a young face on it.

"With your abilities, capturing her alive shouldn't be too difficult for me, right?" Garin asked softly.

Steel Bone Kong's gaze darkened slightly. Although he was very unhappy, he felt that making things too tense with the Knights of God wouldn't do him any good.

Then, Steel Bone Kong took the wanted poster, opened it, glanced at it, and seemed to understand something immediately.

"You've taken a liking to her?"

"So, you won't let me down, right?"

(Second update! Also, based on readers' requests, I wrote a sequel to the story of the fake Ron's kid, but... I don't know where to post it. If I go back and add it, there will be conflicts, but putting it in the later part of the main text doesn't fit either. I don't know where to put it.)
