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

"Guhahahaha..."

The only sound in the air was Crocodile's loud laughter, while Cobra remained silent, his head bowed, Crocodile's words echoing in his mind as he reflected on his mistakes.

At the same time, he gripped the ground tightly with his hands, tears of regret welling up in his eyes.

Meanwhile, in the square filled with rapeseed flowers.

The entire arena was silent, except for Crocodile's arrogant and merciless mockery.

The people stood frozen like statues, staring blankly at the man laughing on the screen.

Like Cobra, they were lost in their past memories.

Reflecting on how Cobra once cared about the country and its people, and how much they trusted and loved the king at that time.

They also reflected on how, since the dancing fan incident, they had doubted the king, how they had gradually begun to distrust him, and how they had now come to hate him to the core.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, tears welled up in the eyes of countless people in the square. They gritted their teeth, apologized to the king they had misunderstood, and berated themselves.

"I'm sorry... Your Majesty!"

"I'm sorry... Lord Cobra!"

"What an idiot I am! What have I been doing all this time?! I actually doubted that king... If he hadn't rescued me from the pirates, I would have been killed by them long ago..."

"I have also received help from His Majesty the King. When I was a child, I accidentally fell into the sea, and it was His Majesty the King who personally rescued me..."

"I was also helped by that king..."

"I also..."

The square was filled with the sounds of remorse and self-blame from the citizens, and some of those who had received help from Kobra shared their stories.

Just then, a shout suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"It's the crocodile! The crocodile stole the rain from this country, and it was the crocodile that started the war. This country is in this state because of that crocodile. Defeat the crocodile and drive him out of this country."

Once the first such sound rang out, countless similar sounds quickly followed.

"Down with the crocodile! Drive him out of this country!"

"Defeat the crocodile and rescue His Majesty the King!"

"..."

As more and more voices emerged, they eventually evolved into the same slogan.

At this moment, in the rapeseed flower square, the people were filled with indignation, constantly shouting this slogan in anger.

"Down with the crocodile!"

"Down with the crocodile!"

"..."

Smoker glanced at the people around him and spoke to himself.

"This crocodile has aroused public outrage!"

"It looks like this country is about to undergo a major transformation."

"I'm afraid... the Seven Warlords of the Sea will also undergo some changes!"

As Smoker spoke, a figure flashed through his mind again, and he wondered to himself...

"Straw Hat Boy... are you planning to save this country?"

Exposing Crocodile's plot and having his own crew clash with Crocodile's men forced Smoker to make these assumptions.

"Tashigi, how long until headquarters' reinforcements arrive?"

Smoker suddenly asked a question.

Tashigi was taken aback by the sudden question, but after a brief moment of thought, she quickly answered.

"Three more days, Colonel Smoker!"

Smoker fell into deep thought upon hearing this, while Tashigi looked on with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong, Colonel Smoker?"

"Do you think the Straw Hat crew might be subdued by the Crocodile crew and won't need reinforcements?"

Tashigi looked at Smoker with innocent eyes.

Then he saw Smoker suddenly turn around, grit his teeth, and hurl insults at her.

"You idiot, that crocodile is no match for the Straw Hat Boy."

"Although I haven't seen the strength of his crew, have you forgotten how those hundred bounty hunters on Whiskey Hill were wiped out?"

"Back then, we found someone who was still conscious. What did that guy say? You idiot, think about it carefully!"

Tashigi shrank back, trembling as Smoker berated her, the scene flashing through her mind.

They were stunned when they arrived at Whisky Hill.

Corpses were everywhere.

After a careful search, they found a person who still had a faint breath.

"What happened here? How did you all end up like this?"

"Three...three people!"

"What did you say? What three people?"

"The three of them...they took care of us all. Monsters...those guys were monsters...terribly strong monsters..."

"who are they?"

"His...their captain is...it's the Straw Hat Boy..."

After saying his last words, the man died.

Returning to the present, Tashigi couldn't help but look at the Straw Hat Boys' henchmen on the screen, especially the man with three swords, and thought to herself.

"Roronoa Zoro, just how strong are you?"

...

Just as the crowd in the square was chanting "Down with the crocodile!", a live broadcast spread like wildfire throughout the world.

Naval Headquarters!

In a conference room.

Sengoku sat in the highest seat, with Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru on one side below him, and Garp, Tsuru, and other high-ranking Navy officers on the other side.

They were holding their routine daily high-level naval meeting.

"Alright, that concludes this meeting."

Sengoku addressed the crowd below.

Everyone then got up one after another, preparing to leave.

Just then, a voice came from the doorway.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, something has happened!"

Everyone looked towards the door upon hearing this, and saw a navy man looking tense and anxious.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

The Warring States Period Asks the Way 4.1

The naval officer glanced at the many bigwigs present, unconsciously swallowed, and realized that he had acted too flusteredly just now.

The navy officer took a deep breath and replied.

"It's that straw hat kid..."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Garp.

The Warring States period was even more furious, and he let out a loud shout.

"Karp..."

Garp, meanwhile, was picking his nose with his finger, looking up at the ceiling, as if he hadn't heard anything.

The navy officer continued speaking.

"The Straw Hat Pirates are currently in a standoff with Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"It looks like they're about to start fighting."

"I don't know who secretly orchestrated this live broadcast of the confrontation, but now the news agency's president, Morgans, has broadcast it all over the world."

After the naval officer finished speaking, everyone present was taken aback.

The global live broadcast has a significant impact, especially since it concerns the fighting strength of the world's ruling governments and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"How terrifying! That Straw Hat kid has only been wanted for a short time and he's already challenging the Seven Warlords of the Sea. What a terrifying rookie!"

"Hmph! He's caused so much trouble as soon as he set sail. Keeping him around will only lead to future problems. I think it would be best to send someone to get rid of him as soon as possible."

"In fact, I received a report yesterday that Smoker requested support from the Navy Headquarters to go to Alabasta to capture the Straw Hat Boy. The 30 warships closest to Alabasta are now on their way there and should all arrive in three days."

The three generals spoke in turn.

Sengoku, frowning, spoke to the navy officer.

"Get the live stream ready for me right away."

Upon hearing this, the navy saluted and said.

"We are ready, Marshal Sengoku!"

Immediately, led by this naval officer, a group of high-ranking officers from the Marine Headquarters headed towards another room, with Garp quietly following behind.

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Shocking the World, He Looked as If His Entire Family Had All Died. (Thanks to Lonely Sky Pivot and Song for the monthly tickets.)

Dressrosa.

Inside a dimly lit room.

Doflamingo and his crew watched a scene unfold before them.

The screen shows a huge screen displaying six images.

Of the six images, five are not particularly eye-catching.

Only the man laughing loudly in the first picture attracted the attention of Doflamingo and his subordinates.

Meanwhile, besides the huge curtain, one could vaguely see the surrounding crowd and the blue-haired woman guarding below the huge curtain.

The woman was surrounded by a circle of strange plants, blocking anyone who wanted to approach her.

Although the surrounding environment was not fully visible, a clear and resounding slogan could be heard continuously: "Down with the crocodiles!"

Seeing this scene, Doflamingo couldn't help but laugh.

"Fufufufufu..."

"They've been condemned by the entire nation!"

"What exactly did that sand do to provoke such national outrage?"

Diamanti's gaze swept over all six images, and he couldn't help but wonder.

"Didn't the news agency president, Morgans, initially report that it was the Straw Hat Boy challenging the crocodile? Why haven't we seen the Straw Hat Boy?"

Torrepol, with snot hanging from his nose, laughed.

"They were probably scared away!"

"Crocodile is a Shichibukai like Doflamingo; not just anyone can challenge him!"

Pica responded in a particularly high-pitched voice.

"I heard that the Straw Hat Boy is the most famous newcomer right now, with an initial bounty of 6000 million Berries."

"There are also rumors that someone was eating at a restaurant in the East Blue when the chef there said that he personally witnessed the Straw Hat Puppet defeating the world's number one swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk."

"I wonder if it's true or not?"
