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

"The true Royal Team!!!"

When they heard Aokiji's last few words, Sengoku and the Five Elders' pupils trembled.

Which of the members who can be considered as royal crews are not super strong individuals who have fought their way up from countless pirate crews over many years on the high seas?

But now Aokiji is praising a pirate crew composed entirely of rookies as a true royal crew.

This deeply impressed Sengoku and the Five Elders, who were both deeply moved by the Straw Hat crew.

At the same time, they couldn't help but become more worried.

How much of a threat will this group of people pose to us in the future?

They no longer dared to think about it.

After a moment of silence, Sengoku forced down his shock and spoke to Aokiji.

"All right!"

"We'll talk about the Straw Hat crew later!"

"You will now return to Naval Headquarters immediately."

"I just received a report that Whitebeard may have already begun his operation!"

Upon hearing Sengoku's words, the three generals instantly became serious.

No matter how much the Straw Hat crew shocked them, Whitebeard was the enemy they needed to take seriously right now.

"Yes!"

After responding, Aokiji hung up the phone and rushed to Marineford with the others as fast as he could.

Meanwhile, Sengoku, after finishing his phone call with Aokiji, immediately bid farewell to the Five Elders and planned to return to Marine Headquarters.

After Sengoku left, the Five Elders' room quickly became extremely quiet.

After a while of this suffocating silence, Piet Saint suddenly uttered a sentence that made everyone in the room gasp.

"Is that fruit about to awaken?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was immediately shocked, and a chill ran down their spines.

Although Piet Saint did not explain, they all instantly understood what it meant.

Ceeb immediately denied it.

"No! This is impossible!"

"That fruit has become a legend for us!"

"It has never awakened in the past few centuries!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Piet Saint retorted.

"But leading a group of newcomers to such a level in such a short time is also an inexplicable miracle, isn't it?"

"Besides, he already possesses at least the strength of an admiral, so it's not entirely impossible for him to awaken his Devil Fruit, is it?!"

Even that one...

"A fruit bearing the name of [God]!"

Upon hearing this, Saint Vocuri gritted his teeth, his expression grave, unable to refute.

Nasujiro suddenly gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"The world's governments in every era have tried to reclaim rubber fruit."

"But in these 800 years, it has never fallen into our hands."

"The closest we ever got to it was when it was stolen by Redhead on its way back!"

Maz Saint continued.

"For whatever reason, it's as if the fruit is escaping from us, always unable to fall into our hands."

"But that's not entirely unfounded, is it?!"

"All Zoan-type Devil Fruits harbor a will, let alone this [God] Fruit!"

"This fruit, which bears the name of 'God,' the Rubber Fruit, is also known as..."

"Zoan Type, Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nikka Mode!"

Upon hearing this name, a hint of worry and fear flashed in everyone's eyes.

Satan frowned and said in a deep voice.

"We have always wanted to get rid of the user of this fruit."

"But the power that brat displayed was truly astonishing!"

"I'm afraid this time..."

"We really need to prepare for the worst!"

Upon hearing this, the five elders fell silent, each pondering how to face the future that worried them.

...

Two days later!

Calm Belt, Amazon Lily!

A nearshore area close to Nine-She Island.

On the sea, there was a warship and a pirate ship towed by two giant sea serpents.

On the warship, the mole frowned as he looked at the many pirates on the opposite pirate ship and spoke to them.

"Kuja Pirates, you're finally back!"

"I've been waiting for you!"

After scanning the deck and finding no sign of the Empress, the mole immediately shouted loudly at the pirate ship.

"Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"come out faster!"

"I've come to pick you up!"

Upon hearing the mole's loud cry, a chorus of voices immediately erupted on the deck.

"Sorry! Lady Snake Princess won't be coming out!"

"Has she answered you several times already?"

"What a man! What a tasteless creature!"

Hearing these voices that didn't take him seriously, the mole wasn't angry.

Instead, they threw a newspaper onto their boat.

Then he spoke in an extremely stern and resolute tone.

"She had already replied that she would accept the call immediately."

"But they've never come looking for us!"

"This is this morning's newspaper."

"The location and time for Fire Fist Ace's execution have been set; she can no longer back out!"

"This forced summons of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is a strict order from the World Government!"

"If she refuses to convene the meeting, the agreement will be considered broken, and she will be stripped of her title as a Shichibukai!"

After saying this, the mole roared at the pirate ship opposite him again.

"Boa Hancock! Did you hear me?!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of footsteps sounded.

Soon, everyone saw three women emerge from the cabin of the Kuja Pirate Ship.

Upon seeing the leader, the mole immediately spoke in a deep voice.

"You're finally out, Boa Hancock!"

The empress, accompanied by her two sisters, boarded a sea serpent at the bow of the ship and then arrived at the warship.

Standing atop the sea serpent's head, he looked down at the group of navy soldiers below.

Upon seeing the Empress appear, the entire navy below stared wide-eyed.

"So...so beautiful!"

"Is that the Pirate Empress, who's known as the 'World's Most Beautiful Woman'?"

"She's absolutely stunning!"

Upon hearing these sounds, the mole immediately turned around and cursed angrily behind him.

"You idiots, wake up!"

This roar startled everyone.

I dared not utter another word.

At this moment, the mole turned around and spoke to the empress in a very serious tone.

"There are only 5 days left until the execution!"

"The Whitebeard crew will definitely take action within the next five days."

"Our Naval Headquarters has made up its mind!"

"We must use all our fighting force, led by our three generals, to meet this challenge!"

"Do you want to be stripped of your Shichibukai title, or do you want to accept the summons?"

"Make a decision quickly!"

"There's no time left!"

After the mole finished speaking, the empress calmly and unhurriedly replied.

"I like my status as a Shichibukai, so I don't want to be stripped of that title."

"But I also hate the world government and don't want to take your orders!"

Upon hearing the Empress's reply, the mole immediately frowned in anger.

"Stop being so willful!"

You must make a choice!

Upon hearing this, the Empress thought for a moment, then suddenly seemed to have thought of something and spoke up.

"How about this!"

"The naval forces that came to pick me up..."

"Because of an unbelievable accident at sea, everyone turned to stone and the entire army was wiped out!"

Upon hearing this, the mole's brows furrowed even more deeply.

He said in an extremely low voice.

"I already told you! Stop being so willful!"

The Empress, however, showed no intention of changing her mind and spoke calmly.

"No matter what I do..."

“Tear your ears off, kill people, or turn you all into stone!”

"The whole world will forgive me!"

"Do you know why?"

"That's right!"

"It's because..."

"I'm so beautiful!"
