The news of the destruction of the Celestial Dragons' holy land is truly devastating.

You should know that's the headquarters of the World Government.

......

Two days later.

Before the two large ships could travel to the Grand Line, they needed to pass through the Red Line. In the distance, they spotted a small wooden boat without even a sail.

Then, Nawaki saw Luffy on the next ship stretch out his hands, grab the blonde girl on top of the wooden ship, and swing her back in an elegant arc—

With a bang, the young man with short, green, seaweed-like hair on the Going Merry was sent flying backward.

Rope Tree: ......

Mitarashi Anko next to her: ......

Rope Tree smiled helplessly, sighed, took off his clothes, jumped down, and pulled Zoro out.

On the Going Merry, Nawaki, soaking wet, wiped the seawater off his face. "Hey Luffy, can't you be a little more careful?"

"Hahahaha—" Roger laughed as he rested against the deck. "As expected of you, Luffy. You almost threw your crew overboard to feed the fish while trying to pull someone along."

Zoro clenched his fist, "I'll kill you sooner or later!"

"Sorry, sorry," Luffy said, scratching his head. He then immediately changed the subject, looking at the unconscious little girl he had caught. "Speaking of which, is this a mermaid?"

"Obviously not! You idiot!" Sanji retorted.

"They must be lost," Nawaki concluded.

With a sweet treat in her hand, Mitarashi Anko leaped onto the Going Merry.

On the massive bow of the Circus Bonnet, Hancock and Kurenai sat, each wearing a sun hat of a different color.

Kurenai sat to the side.

“It’s really lively.”

"This lineup should be enough to attack Marine Headquarters." Hancock didn't look behind her, but her Observation Haki allowed her to sense the presence of a little girl.

"Is something being towed over there?" Kurenai turned her head to glance at it, but her view was blocked by the tall cabin.

“It’s a girl, nothing important,” Hancock said.

"Huh?! Where are Nawaki and Anko?" The cabin door opened, and Nami, who had just finished drawing the sea chart, came out, stretched, and found that Nawaki and Anko were gone.

Kurenai Yuhi laughed and said, "And what's next~ What a boisterous pirate crew."

Compared to the Justice Pirates' preference for quiet, the Straw Hat Pirates' ship is much noisier.

That night, the little girl woke up, and everyone was surprised to learn that her name was Apis and that she was a little girl who had just escaped from a naval warship.

On the other side, in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Crocodile was very annoyed when he started receiving calls from the Navy Headquarters the day before yesterday.

What he's doing now can't be known to the navy. If other forces get involved, news of his takeover of the Alabasta Kingdom and finding the weapons will leak out.

"Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King; Boa Hancock, the former Empress and current vice-captain of the Justice Pirates... and the second Empress?"

"This is really troublesome."

In the office, Crocodile lit a cigarette and smoked for a long time. A girl with dark, seemingly glowing short hair, hidden on the side of the desk, stood quietly in that spot.

"Mr. 0."

"Yes."

"You can mentor that girl who's looking for a job recently; she's quite capable."

Nico Robin raised an eyebrow. "Is this really a good idea? That person is most likely the ninja who's been searching for information about the Ninja Continent within the Navy lately. Are you sure you want to entrust such an important person to me?"

Crocodile grinned maliciously, "Of course! I've always trusted you, Mr. 0."

Robin gave Crocodile a deep look before walking out of the office belonging to the Baroque Works boss.

Inside the casino, a young woman with long, straight black hair was shouting "Big!", but the female dealer smiled awkwardly and opened "Small" again.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, you already owe our casino six million Berries."

"Please return this money to the casino as soon as possible."

"Ah...I...I don't have any money." Hashirama Senju scratched his head awkwardly. "Can I get a part-time job?"

The female dealer and a guard exchanged a glance. After a brief report, they learned that this man was the one who had been causing trouble in the town using strange powers these past two days. Crocodile immediately ordered someone to summon Hashirama Senju to work and pay off his debts...

"Come with me."

"Okay~" Hashirama Senju was surprised that the 'Jonin' who brought him was a young girl. "What mission are we going to carry out now?"

Nico Robin stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, glancing at Hashirama Senju behind her. "Do people from your ninja continent really enjoy doing missions?"

"Hey, but I owe your casino money, so I'm going to work to pay it off now?" Hashirama Senju revealed his innocent, girlish face, extending his slender, white fingers to touch his red lips. If Madara had come here, his heart would probably have been racing at two hundred beats per minute.

Robin pursed his lips. "No, I need to introduce you to the members of the workshop first. From now on, you are an intern at Baroque Works. Once there are fewer agents, you can take over."

"Soga~"

Over there, in the small garden.

Various extinct creatures, similar to dinosaurs, hunt down food that suddenly appears.

The next second, as the sunlight hit the purple hair, the food flashed with a white light, cleaving the dinosaur in two.

"Today's food is taken care of."

Looking at the chunk of meat in front of her, Uzuki Yugao breathed a slight sigh of relief, took out a rope, and began to drag it.

Then, they arrived at a place with white bones, and the solid earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of technique) wall was the work of Yakumo Kurama.

She knocked on the 'door,' and the walls began to rise at Yakumo's whim, revealing three small beds with white bones marking the small garden above them, and a white bone ceiling with some green moss.

Yakumo Kurama: "Yugao, how was your harvest today?"

"Yes. Yakumo, could you please clean up the bloodstains along the way to avoid attracting wild animals?" Uzuki Yugao pointed to the dinosaur meat being dragged behind them.

"Okay~" Kurama Yakumo said and rushed out of the room.

Meanwhile, Kana Uzumaki emerged from the other end of the jungle, saw Yugao Uzuki grilling, and walked over.

"So? Can those two giants communicate?"

"It's possible, but they are locals who haven't been out for a long time. So they can't offer us much help."

"I see. So, have you found the First Lord?"

Kana Uzumaki shook her head. "We've searched everywhere, and it seems that besides these two giants, there are only the three of us on the entire island."

"I see..." Uzuki Yugao sighed softly, "This is really troublesome. We've come to a strange place, and Hancock doesn't know anything about this place either. It seems we can only rely on ourselves."

Whispering rustling——

The two women were on high alert.

The next second, a soft-haired girl with black hair appeared, giving an OK sign, "All taken care of, and I also took down two leopards."

“Very good.” Uzuki Yugao nodded. “Let’s wait a while longer, and then go to the shore of the island to see if any pirate ships are coming.”

"Then, they robbed it."

Uzuki Yugao didn't want to build an ordinary sailboat for such a dangerous sea. Who knew if they might encounter disaster along the way? Of course, it would be best to have one ready-made.

Rumbling--

The three women were startled and looked towards the volcanic eruption, immediately realizing that this was a signal for a duel between the two giant warriors.

The fighting and arguing kept the three women on their toes until the two giants calmed down and retreated to their respective territories.

As darkness fell, the three women around the campfire chatted about some interesting things.

Giants at either end of the small garden entertained themselves, awaiting the arrival of new pirates and the new stories to come—as for the red-haired girl who was bothering them, they didn't think such a frail girl could survive in the small garden for long...

On the deck of the Sea Serpent Ship, Uchiha Bufan was browsing the latest newspaper articles when he saw the news that the Pirate King Gol D. Roger had been resurrected in Loguetown.

He grabbed the newspaper and gritted his teeth, saying, "Why create such a powerful enemy for me right when I'm about to deal with the Justice Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates?!"

"Very well, as expected of the protagonist of the world. Let's see who moves faster."

Uchiha Bufan wouldn't be used by the Navy. He would pretend to fight a couple of times with the Justice Pirates after obtaining the Devil Fruit, and then run away. This kind of thing was common even under the watchful eyes of many Navy members during the Marineford War, let alone in a place where the Navy couldn't see him.

He pulled back the curtain, and on the deck, members of Kuja Island from all directions immediately looked at Uchiha Bufan and greeted him.

"Lord Snake Princess!"

"captain!"

In addition to the Boa sisters, members of the original Kuja Pirates were also mobilized this time. As for the warriors of Kuja Island, they are not allowed to stray too far from the island's boundaries—which is why the Kuja Island warriors do not understand male characteristics.

Does the snake need to rest?

"Yes."

Uchiha Bufan rubbed his temples. If it were a naval warship or a steamship, the journey would probably be smooth and it would only take a few days to arrive.

"Then let's continue to rest and set off again early the next morning."

"Yes!"

Uchiha Bufan nodded, his gaze sweeping into the cabin, or more precisely, into a single room.

At this moment, a girl with long, beautiful pink hair was in the room, giving a work report while holding a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric phone).

"Yes, Bai Bufan did not refuse; the target remains the Kingdom of Alabasta."

"Understood. Tina will continue to monitor the situation. She will report any problems immediately."

"Tina will not betray the Navy! Absolutely not!"

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku nodded slightly. "Then I'm relieved. This matter is very important. Bai Bufan's strength is no less than that group of ninjas; we must find a way to counterbalance them. Otherwise, these ninjas will be even more dangerous than the pirates!"

"Yes! Tina guarantees to complete the mission!"

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Tina raised her hands, patted her face, and, after rousing herself, hid the Den Den Mushi in a cabinet.

Once everything was ready, Tina finally relaxed and pushed open the door.

"Are you done with the call?"

"Mmm," Tina replied relaxedly.

The next second, Tina's entire back stood on end, and a bone-chilling coldness swept up and down her spine.

"You...you...you were eavesdropping on Tina..."

Before Tina could finish speaking, a hand quickly grabbed her chin, pulling her against the wall in a "wall slam" position. The young man's dark eyes looked into Tina's bright, watery eyes, which she dared not look directly at.

"what happened?"

"Didn't you swear to me that you wouldn't betray me? It hasn't even been that long~~"

"Tina, Tina is a Marine, you, you're a pirate, we, we won't have a good ending!" Tina stammered. She tried to turn her face away, but Uchiha Bufan turned her back to him.

"so what."

"I still need your cover for my identity, Captain."

"No, don't do this..."

Their faces drew closer, and Tina's red lips trembled slightly.

Then, a strange sound came from the corridor of the ship's cabin.

However, under Uchiha Bufan's orders, the members of the Kuja Pirates were enjoying their dinner and the beautiful scenery on the outer deck, completely unaware that the 'Snake Princess' was secretly flirting with a Marine captain who was on his way to the Alabasta Kingdom to monitor the Kuja Pirates.

Not long after, the door to the cabin opened, and Uchiha Fufan, dressed perfectly, led Tina out, whose collar and lipstick were slightly disheveled.

"Everyone, let's have a party tonight!"

"Whoa!!" xN

The two Boa sisters, sitting in the corner, looked at Uchiha Bufan's figure with some wariness.

'Will he really let Hancock go after seeing her?!'
