A black shadow flickered, and Kalifa directly jumped into Ryuya's arms.
She excitedly said to Ryuya, "Admiral-sama~ I've already received Sengoku's instructions. I'm your second-in-command. I'll definitely take care of you on the way, make you comfortable."
Ryuya watched Kalifa's actions, his lips twitching slightly.
Kalifa, lately, he didn't know what had gotten into her, but she kept trying to "flirt" with him.
"Alright, Kalifa, go get ready. We're leaving immediately!"
"So soon?"
"Of course, upholding justice is urgent!"
"The Ripple Effect"
The impact of the newspaper was still spreading.
Ohara.
Robin, who had just finished practicing her Devil Fruit abilities, looked at the newspaper in Olvia's arms.
"Navy's Three New Admirals Officially Announced! White Dove Ryuya is the Strongest!"
That was the biggest headline on the newspaper.
Following the headline down, Robin saw Ryuya's picture.
This was the first time Robin had seen Ryuya's face, but for some reason, she felt instinctively that this person was the real Ryuya!
After all, there were hardly any people on this sea who were named Ryuya!
"Mom, when will Ryuya-nii come back to see us?"
Robin looked up at Olvia with her big, watery eyes, filled with an indescribable anticipation.
"Don't worry, Robin. Your Ryuya-nii will be back to see you soon."
Olvia said to Robin.
Robin nodded and looked at Ryuya in the newspaper again, a smile unconsciously playing on her lips.
"The News Reaches Amazon Lily"
Amazon Lily.
Hancock, thanks to Amazon Lily's special training methods, had awakened her Haki.
She was now able to fight on par with the current Empress using her Devil Fruit powers, truly a genius among geniuses.
But then again, even in the original story, Hancock's strength was ranked high.
Gloriosa came to Hancock's side at this moment.
Hancock glanced at Gloriosa and said, "Is there any news of Ryuya?"
"Yeah, it's all in this newspaper."
Hearing Gloriosa's words, Hancock's demeanor changed from her previous coldness.
Her cheeks instantly flushed red, and she snatched the newspaper from Gloriosa.
Looking at Ryuya in the newspaper, Hancock felt like she was going to faint from happiness.
"Amazing, Ryuya! I finally see news of you!"
Gloriosa watched Hancock constantly rubbing her face against Ryuya's picture in the newspaper.
The wrinkles on her face, already numerous, were now even more crowded together.
"Hancock, Ryuya has joined the Navy! Even I can't guess what he's planning. We have to be careful when we contact him in the future."
"What does it matter if he joined the Navy? Ryuya must have his reasons. My life was saved by Ryuya. Even if he wanted to take it back, I wouldn't have any complaints!"
Hancock looked at Gloriosa and said, "So, you were trying to stir up trouble between us?!"
Hancock's face was now cold and frosty. "Anyone who speaks ill of Ryuya is my enemy!"
As Hancock finished speaking, her long legs, already showing signs of their future length, were coated in Armament Haki and she kicked Gloriosa into the air.
"A Pirate's Dilemma"
On the other side, on the sea.
The wind whipped up a storm.
The waves were raging, one higher than the next!
The unpredictable weather of the Grand Line was on full display at this moment!
And in this environment of raging storms and towering waves, a pirate fleet of over fifty ships was sailing on the sea.
But in this environment, these fifty ships seemed so small.
"Captain Krieg, Ship 34 has suffered damage. A lot of seawater has flooded the hull."
"Captain Krieg, Ship 12's mast has broken. If we don't evacuate the crew, they'll likely die at sea!"
"Captain Krieg..."
Krieg stood on the deck, his Golden Battle Spear clenched tightly in his hand. He listened to the constant reports, his face filled with gloom!
He had been confident, sailing from the East Blue into the Grand Line, wanting to make his name known to more people.
But he never expected to encounter this situation right after entering the Grand Line!
"Abandon all ships that have problems!"
"Abandon them?! But Captain Krieg, our fighting strength will be greatly reduced!"
"Greatly reduced? It's only four or five ships. At most, four or five hundred people!"
Krieg raised his Battle Spear, pointing it at the people beside him, and said, "You have to understand, we're a fleet of five thousand. Abandoning four or five hundred people is nothing. It won't affect our fighting strength much!"
"Yes, I understand, Captain Krieg!"
His subordinates retreated. Krieg stood on the deck, looking at the constantly churning waves, and his heart was unwilling to admit defeat.
"The Grand Line, it's the dream route that countless pirates yearn for. If you can navigate it all, you can become the Pirate King!"
"Only a title like Pirate King is worthy of my strength!"
"It's just a few hundred people? I'll find an island later, and I can easily replenish those few hundred!"
In Krieg's view, his own strength was one part, but the other was the number of people.
As long as there were enough people, even if they piled on top of each other, they could still defeat their enemies!
He had been the king of the East Blue using his human wave tactics for a long time, which was why he had such strong confidence.
But he didn't know that he was actually just a frog at the bottom of a well!
The storm came quickly, and it left just as quickly.
After about half an hour, the wind and waves finally subsided.
"Captain Krieg, we lost six hundred and seventy-two people and six ships!"
The subordinate standing beside Krieg said, "Also, we found a warship not far away, rapidly approaching. But this warship seems different from the ones we've seen before. It's bigger!"
"A warship? Can you estimate how many people are on board?"
"According to the navigator's report, about a hundred."
"Only about a hundred? A warship! Hahaha, they're here to give us ships!"
Krieg burst into laughter. He swung his Battle Spear and ordered his subordinates, "Everyone, listen up! Don't fire any cannons. Surround that warship in front. I want that Navy warship!"
"Captain Krieg is awesome!"
"Captain Krieg is awesome!"
"Captain Krieg is awesome!"
…
As Krieg finished speaking, the crew excitedly shouted his name!
