Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

The golden bell rang continuously, bidding a final farewell to Luffy and his crew.

...

Somewhere along the Grand Line.

A gentle breeze was blowing, and seagulls were flying in the sky.

On the vast ocean, a man rides a bicycle slowly.

Wherever he went, the sea was frozen solid.

This person is none other than Admiral Aokiji of the Navy Headquarters.

"Puff puff puff..."

"Puff puff puff..."

A Den Den Mushi rang, and Aokiji calmly took it out of his pocket and answered it.

"Kuzan! Where are you now?"

As soon as the Den Den Mushi was connected, a very urgent voice came from the other end.

Aokiji noticed something odd about the other person's tone and asked in confusion.

"I am in a sea area near Water Seven."

"What happened, Marshal Sengoku?"

"Something seems off about your tone!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was extremely serious as he urged them on.

"Hurry back to headquarters, a major event has occurred that will affect the entire world!"

Upon hearing this, Aokiji frowned.

Then, he heard Zhan Guo continue speaking.

"Just now, I convened a meeting of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in Mary Geoise."

"A wanted criminal broke into the meeting."

"He recommended a new candidate for Shichibukai!"

Aokiji asked in confusion.

"Is there a problem with simply recommending a Shichibukai?"

Sengoku took a deep breath and continued speaking.

"Recommending just one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is no problem."

"But the crux of the problem lies in..."

"That pirate named Blackbeard who wanted to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

"We had the recommender submit a wanted criminal to us."

Upon hearing this, Aokiji had already guessed that the wanted criminal might be a big shot.

He couldn't help but become serious and listened attentively to what Zhan Guo had to say.

"That wanted criminal is..."

"Whitebeard Pirates 2nd Division Commander... [Fire Fist] Ace!"

Although I had prepared myself mentally, I was still surprised when I heard the name.

Aokiji couldn't help but be shocked.

Fire Fist Ace is a well-known figure among pirates worldwide, so anyone who can capture such a pirate must be incredibly powerful.

Just as Aokiji was pondering these things, Sengoku continued speaking.

"After discussing with the Five Elders, we decided..."

"Publicly execute [Fire Fist] Ace!"

Chapter 100 Aokiji's Decision! Plans for the Going Merry! (Thanks to Maple Leaf Like Fire for the monthly ticket)

"After discussing with the Five Elders, we decided..."

"Publicly execute [Fire Fist] Ace!"

Upon hearing Sengoku utter those words, Aokiji knew what was about to happen without needing any explanation.

Everyone knows that the Whitebeard Pirates will not allow anyone to harm their crew members. If [Fire Fist] Ace were to be publicly executed, the entire Whitebeard Pirates would definitely come to stop it.

At that time, it will be a great war between the entire Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates.

The whole world will be changed because of this war.

Thinking about all this, Aokiji realized the seriousness of the problem.

Sengoku's voice continued to ring out from the other end of the phone.

"You need to come back to headquarters right away."

"I need to convene a high-level naval meeting to make advance preparations for this incident!"

Aokiji replied immediately upon hearing this.

"I'll be right back, Marshal Sengoku!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Den Den Mushi hung up.

Aokiji stood there in a daze for a while.

Then he took out two wanted posters from his pocket, one for Luffy and the other for Robin.

After glancing at Luffy's bounty poster, Aokiji muttered to himself.

"I was hoping to meet Mr. Garp's grandson! Now it seems I won't have the chance!"

Then he turned his gaze to Robin's bounty poster, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Nicole Robin! Twenty years have passed, and you haven't changed at all?"

"You're still living a life of betrayal!"

"In that case, wouldn't it have been pointless for me to let you go back then?"

Aokiji recalled the time 20 years ago when he let Robin, the only survivor of Ohara, escape.

At that time, he obeyed Saul's will and let Robin go.

I just want to witness Robin's life from now on.

But Robin has remained unchanged for the past 20 years, like a ticking time bomb, wandering from place to place.

In that case, it would be better to settle this grudge from 20 years ago as soon as possible!

With that thought in mind, Aokiji took out another golden Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

"Your route will definitely take you to Water Seven, right?"

Let's settle this here!

...

"Goo!"

"Goo!"

Seagulls are calling out in the sky.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

The waves kept crashing against the shore.

Between the two, a huge ark floats slowly in mid-air.

"It's a blue sea!"

"Great! I'm finally back!"

"This spaceship is really convenient! It brought us back safely."

On the deck, the group of people sighed with emotion.

Looking at the blue sea that came into view again after several days, everyone felt as if they had just woken up from a dream.

"We've really gone to an incredible place!"

"Especially after I came back, when I looked up again, it felt so far away!"

"It felt like a dream..."

Everyone looked up at the sky, reminiscing about their dreamlike experience on the floating island.

After gradually recovering from that feeling, everyone focused their attention on the various matters at hand.

On deck!

Usopp took out a large pile of shells he had obtained from Skypiea and tested their effects one by one.

After trying them all, Usopp spoke up.

"Only cloud shells can't be used here, the others are fine!"

Robin, sitting to the side, listened to Usopp's words and guessed.

"Perhaps only clouds ejected from the sky island environment can take shape!"

Usopp nodded upon hearing this, then picked up all the Berries and said to Nami.

"Nami, give me your Weather Stick!"

"I'll use these shells now to improve and enhance your weather stick."

Then, Usopp turned to look at Nojiko.

"Nokiko! How's the plant I asked you to cultivate coming along?"

Nojiko brought over a potted plant from next to the orange tree on the Going Merry and said.

"It has already taken shape."

"You can use it as your slingshot!"

"This plant is a new variety that I have developed through research. It is not only very sturdy and highly elastic, but it can also be freely deformed and applied to different scenarios. It will definitely meet your needs."

Usopp was pleasantly surprised to hear this, as it was even more comprehensive than he had expected, and he said excitedly.

"Really?! Nojiko!"

Noki nodded with a big smile.

Usopp excitedly ran over, took the plant, and thanked Nojiko.

"You've been a huge help, Nojiko!"

"Thank you!"

After saying that, Usopp ignored everyone else, excitedly grabbed a bunch of things, and buried himself in the Going Merry's laboratory.

At this moment, Luffy bestowed his extraordinary comprehension upon Usopp, helping him create something even more powerful.

After Usopp left, Nami suddenly looked at Luffy and spoke.

Hey! Luffy!

"What should we do with this spaceship?"

"The weather on the Grand Line is unpredictable. If we encounter bad weather, it will be impossible to fly as smoothly as we are now."

"We still need sailing ships like the Merry."

"Besides, if I were to rely on lightning for power all the time, I would really die of exhaustion!"

Nami let out a breath, looking extremely tired.

From the Sky Island until now, she has been expending her own energy to maintain the Proverb's flight state.
