Moreover, even if they were outmatched, it would be difficult to effectively stop a Navy Admiral determined to escape. Yet, such a being… Ra
Moreover, even if they were outmatched, it would be difficult to effectively stop a Navy Admiral determined to escape.
Yet, such a being…
Rayleigh had never imagined that, since the annihilation of the Rocks Pirates at God Valley thirty-eight years ago, the world would once again witness the death of a Navy Admiral.
And unlike that massive, chaotic battle, this was based on a single individual confronting two Navy Admirals!
It was crucial to remember that killing a Navy Admiral and merely defeating one were entirely different concepts!
The two were not even comparable!
Amazon Lily.
Snake Princess Island.
At that moment, a tall figure suddenly rose from her throne in the palace.
Hancock's slowly constricting pupils betrayed her inner turmoil.
A Navy Admiral… dead?!
Faced with such a monumental event, the Navy had chosen to conceal it from the world…!
Recalling the news she had seen earlier, Hancock slowly clenched her fist.
Perhaps… it wasn't just a pipe dream!
"Snake Princess, wake up!"
Nearby, Gloriosa, noticing the thoughts flickering in Hancock's eyes, immediately recognized that Hancock was entertaining those old, unrealistic fantasies again.
She wasted no time in dragging Hancock back to reality.
The World Government's power is far more complex and deeply rooted than you imagine.
Otherwise, those self-proclaimed elites wouldn't have maintained their iron grip on the world for so long.
"Even with that much power, it still isn't enough?"
Hancock frowned, unable to contain her disappointment.
"...That's right!"
Upon hearing her question, Gloriosa nodded without hesitation.
As the oldest member of Amazon Lily, having lived through the era before the Rocks Pirates, Gloriosa understood better than anyone the true extent of the World Government's power.
Although the most recent display of the World Government's full power had been the God Valley incident thirty-eight years ago, that single instance was enough to demonstrate their overwhelming might.
Rocks, who had become the undisputed ruler of the seas, assembling nearly every monster of that era, a figure akin to an uncrowned king!
The World Government, upon discovering that Rocks was planning to attack God Valley, had responded with swift and decisive action.
The result was inevitable.
Within a single day, the Rocks Pirates were annihilated at God Valley, completely erased from history…!
This demonstrated the truly terrifying might the World Government could unleash when it chose to act.
The Rocks Pirates, at the height of their power, had been unable to withstand them.
What chance did… a single individual! have of overthrowing that monolithic entity, the World Government?!
Such a feat was beyond even the combined forces of the Yonko in the New World.
Suddenly, Gloriosa sensed a powerful shockwave rapidly approaching Amazon Lily.
Her expression shifted, and she leaped to the window, instinctively activating her Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki).
"Could it be that pirates are attempting to exploit the chaos and attack Amazon Lily?!"
Discovering that the Calm Belt surrounding Amazon Lily was empty, devoid of any ships, Gloriosa initially breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, remembering the powerful presence that had triggered her alarm, if there were no pirates attempting to attack Amazon Lily, or even straying into the Calm Belt, did that mean that the powerful presence she had sensed was coming from outside the Calm Belt?!
Gloriosa's heart sank.
To penetrate the Calm Belt… and still possess such overwhelming power…
"Could it be Whitebeard, that monster?! Has he already begun his war with the Navy?!"
Instinctively, she looked towards the live broadcast of the Summit War.
Noticing the situation, Gloriosa's expression shifted again, her face etched with concern.
"N-not Whitebeard? But if it's not Whitebeard, who could it be…? Wait…!"
Gloriosa suddenly made the connection, the image of the man from the wanted poster flashing through her mind.
If it was that dangerous man, the one attempting to overthrow the World Government, perhaps… But with whom was that man engaged in combat?
What force could be so powerful as to allow its presence to penetrate the Calm Belt and reach Amazon Lily?!
Suddenly, noticing that the entire world's attention was focused on the Summit War, Gloriosa's expression grew even more grave.
She realized a chilling possibility.
The World Government!
Perhaps, while the world's eyes were fixed on the Summit War, the World Government had launched its own extermination operation against that dangerous man!
Gloriosa stared towards the empty sea, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon.
Her heart pounded in her chest.
Although she had vehemently opposed Hancock's unrealistic fantasies, she couldn't deny the truth.
Upon realizing that a war might have already broken out between the World Government and Ignis Glow, Gloriosa secretly hoped that the man from the North Blue would emerge victorious!
Because the world had been without anyone daring to challenge the World Government for far too long.
Moreover, from the perspective of both Hancock and Amazon Lily, she naturally hoped to see the downfall of that monolithic entity!
…
Meanwhile, across the world, Sabaody Archipelago.
Amazon Lily.
The Grand Line.
The Four Blues.
The New World…
As countless people were reeling from the news of a Navy Admiral's death at the Summit War, on the other side of the world, the scene shifted back to Ignis Glow.
At this moment, Rumbling…
Due to the seemingly endless release of spiritual pressure, the sea had been transformed into what felt like Ignis Glow's personal domain.
