One Piece: The Emperor-Level Item Master Shocks the World

Thinking of this, the flying squirrel quickly adjusted its mindset, opened its eyes, and said:

"Just tell us your conditions. As long as it's not difficult, we'll agree to them!"

Upon hearing this, the Empress immediately tilted her head back, revealing an arrogant expression, and pointed at Vice Admiral Momonga with her index finger, saying:

"Listen up, you lowly man! Tell the World Government that I am going into Impel Down to meet the linchpin of this war, Portgas D. Ace!"

Even though we were prepared, Hancock might make excessive demands.

But this request was still unexpected.

This is a crucial moment for Naval Headquarters, as they prepare for the war against Whitebeard.

Fire Fist Ace directly influenced the final outcome of this war.

If something were to happen to Fire Fist Ace at this time, he would become a sinner for all time.

After thinking for a moment, Vice Admiral Momonga looked up at the Empress and said:

"Such an important request cannot be made on my own; I must call and consult with the Warring States Marshal."

Upon hearing this, Hancock brushed aside the stray hairs in front of her and then said:

"Then please hurry, it seems we don't have much time left."

Upon hearing this, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel did not hesitate and turned to walk straight into the cabin.

He then picked up the Den Den Mushi and dialed the number to the Admiral's office at Naval Headquarters.

……

Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

Zhan Guo sat at his desk, his face showing worry.

The time for the war with the Whitebeard Pirates is drawing ever closer.

This war involves far too many factors, and if things go wrong, the Navy Headquarters will lose face in front of the World Government.

He couldn't even imagine how chaotic the ocean would become, and how it would lose credibility throughout the world.

Just as Sengoku was agonizing over this, suddenly, the white Den Den Mushi in front of him rang.

Sengoku glanced at it and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Marshal's office, there were two Den Den Mushi (snail phones), one black and one white.

The black Den Den Mushi (snail phone) allows direct communication with the Admirals and even the Five Elders.

Once it rings, it basically indicates that something big is about to happen.

The white Den Den Mushi (snail phone) is the means of communication with ordinary naval personnel below the rank of Admiral.

Usually, it's just asking questions or the like, and there won't be any major changes.

With that in mind, Zhan Guo answered the phone directly.

"Marshal's office, please speak."

As soon as Sengoku finished speaking, Vice Admiral Momonga's calm voice came from the other side.

"Reporting to the Marshal, Empress Boa Hancock has agreed to go to Marineford to participate in the battle against Whitebeard!"

Upon hearing this, a glint appeared in Zhan Guo's eyes, and he immediately stood up.

"Really? That's great! We must keep her calm!"

"She's very strong. If she participates in this war, we'll have a better chance of winning!"

Sengoku had no intention of expecting the Empress to agree to his trip to Marineford to participate in the war.

When the Empress became a Shichibukai, he had already seen her hatred for the World Government.

His subsequent investigation revealed that the Empress had irreconcilable differences with the World Government and even the Celestial Dragons.

Although he didn't know exactly what it was, with this lingering resentment, the Empress probably wouldn't come.

He had even come up with a plan on how to retain the Empress's position as a Shichibukai even if she didn't participate in the battle.

But this time, the Empress's sudden announcement of her arrival saved him a lot of trouble.

Just as the Warring States period was celebrating, the flying squirrel's voice rang out again.

"But she had one condition."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo's expression turned serious, and his eyes became calm.

"Any conditions, as long as they're not excessive, are acceptable."

Upon hearing this, Vice Admiral Mole exhaled a breath of stale air, then opened his eyes and said:

"She requests an audience with Portgas D. Ace, the second division commander of Whitebeard's army!"

Chapter 509 Rayleigh calls Sengoku and enters Impel Down!

Upon hearing this, the Warring States period looked somewhat solemn. He then sat back in his chair, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Sure, but every step of the process must be followed; otherwise, there's no point in discussing it!"

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel saluted and then walked out.

Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the Den Den Mushi.

He simply couldn't understand why the Empress wanted to see Fire Fist Ace.

However, he has too many worries right now, and he doesn't have the mind to think about these things.

After all, Fire Fist Ace's reputation has a great influence in the world.

It's understandable that the Empress would want to meet someone, as he's highly favored by pirates.

He won't get too involved; all he needs is for this powerful force to participate in the war.

Thinking of this, Zhan Guo breathed a sigh of relief, then lay back in his chair, a solemn expression appearing in his eyes.

But before he could relax for long, the white Den Den Mushi on the table rang again.

Upon hearing the Den Den Mushi ring, Sengoku rubbed his temples and then answered it.

"Any other requests? I'll grant all requests that aren't unreasonable!"

As soon as Zhan Guo finished speaking, another calm voice rang out from the other side.

"Hey, Sengoku, you seem pretty irritable lately. You don't seem to have that exhilarating feeling you used to have on the high seas, do you?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, a look of shock appeared in Zhan Guo's eyes.

Looking at the Den Den Mushi, it transformed into a form with white hair and gold-rimmed glasses.

Having guessed most of it, Zhan Guo gritted his teeth and said:

"Pluto, Rayleigh?!"

"You bastard, why you!"

Upon hearing this, Rayleigh adjusted his glasses, a hint of melancholy appearing in his eyes.

"You probably already knew that Captain Roger has another son."

"As a longtime friend, I cannot forgive you for deceiving me for so long."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku vaguely sensed Rayleigh's meaning, then clenched his fist and shouted:

"What do you mean, Rayleigh? You're not going to get involved in this war too, are you?!"

Upon hearing this, Rayleigh looked somewhat wistful, then took out his iron wine jug, tilted his head back, and took a sip.

"I originally wanted to retire peacefully, but I can't give up on our Captain Roger, his last glimmer of hope for life."

“Just as he told me before, he wouldn’t die, and this time, I won’t let his son die either.”

"We're both old folks with half our heads buried in the earth. This meeting might be the last time we see each other. I hope neither of us will have any regrets."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku's eyes flashed with resentment. He was about to say something when a knock came from the Den Den Mushi.

Immediately afterward, Rayleigh hurriedly said:

"I might have guests coming, so I can't chat with you for long. See you at the top in three days!"

With that, Rayleigh hung up the Den Den Mushi abruptly. A cold glint appeared in Sengoku's eyes, and he slammed his hand on the table.

"How awful!"

Things seem to be slipping out of his control step by step.

The odds of winning, which were originally expected, are also decreasing rapidly. Does this mean we have to lure all those monsters from the sea over here?

……

Impel Down, the underwater prison.

Lei Luo passed through the Anywhere Door and felt his body float away before he appeared in the underwater prison.

Lei Luo looked around at the surroundings. This should be the ground floor, not the underground.

Sure enough, the Anywhere Door showed its drawbacks again. Although the imagined scene was similar, it could appear in that place, but its exact location could not be controlled.

Lei Luo looked around and saw that the Straw Hat crew had all been teleported somewhere, and only Luffy was by his side.

Luffy shook his head and looked around, noticing that all the criminals around him had furrowed their brows.

"Hey, what's going on with these two? Why are they able to swagger around outside like that? Are they Devil Fruit users?"

"Hey bro, can you steal the key and get us out of here? You'll be our big brother from now on!"

"Hey, that's going too far. Big brother, you don't need to rescue us all, just rescue me."

Listening to the surrounding prisoners talking amongst themselves, a solemn expression appeared in Lei Luo's eyes.

He didn't want to cause a commotion so quickly, so he unleashed a burst of Conqueror's Haki, which spread outwards, causing the surrounding prisoners to faint instantly.

Luffy looked around for a moment, then said with a puzzled expression:

"Is this the prison? It's not quite what I imagined."

Upon hearing this, Lei Luo ignored Luffy's ramblings and grabbed Luffy's ear, then ran down to the next floor.
