At this moment, Sabaody Archipelago was enveloped by an unprecedented atmosphere of martial law, like a trapped beast tightly bound by an iron barrel.
More than twenty Marine warships, like monstrous giants, completely surrounded the entire Sabaody Archipelago.
On the island, Marine soldiers and CP Agents hurried about, looking nervous, scurrying around like headless flies, determined to ferret out Red Hawk's whereabouts.
Several CP0 members, their faces hidden behind masks, also cooperated with the Marine's actions, their mysterious figures adding to the tense atmosphere.
This time, Marineford had truly gone all out, dispatching a full 15 Marine Vice Admirals, and even Admiral Kizaru and Admiral Aokiji were personally overseeing the operation.
Naval Hero Garp and Vice Admiral Tsuru were also present, a lineup so grand that Sabaody Archipelago seemed to have transformed into a military fortress poised for a major battle.
However, after a thorough search, Red Hawk was nowhere to be found; instead, a group of bewildered pirates who had just arrived at Sabaody Archipelago were mistakenly apprehended.
Kizaru stood on the warship's deck, recalling Red Hawk's words at Shakky's bar: he intended to give the World Government a "big gift" before entering the New World.
At the time, it was dismissed as mere bravado, but who would have thought this "big gift" would be so earth-shshattering, resulting in the deaths of dozens of Celestial Dragons, and what's more, it happened in the World Government's stronghold, Mary Geoise!
If this got out, the World Government would be utterly disgraced; thinking of this, Kizaru couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Red Hawk is simply a madman!"
"We can't find any trace of Red Hawk; how exactly did he leave Sabaody Archipelago and sneak into Mary Geoise without anyone knowing? There's not a single clue!" Vice Admiral Tsuru's face was filled with worry, her voice full of helplessness and anxiety.
This incident made her feel unprecedentedly difficult to handle.
Aokiji frowned deeply, his brows almost twisted into a single character, and analyzed, "It should be a spatial ability. Red Hawk had previously displayed spatial abilities; we originally thought he couldn't include himself within it, but it seems we misjudged."
He and Kizaru shared the same thought, believing Red Hawk had truly gone mad, daring to openly challenge the World Government in such a blatant manner.
Did he truly believe that he alone could contend against the entire World Government?
"For now, we can only blockade Sabaody Archipelago; they will most likely have to go through Fish-Man Island to enter the New World." Vice Admiral Tsuru said with a grave expression, her words resolute.
"For now… there really isn't any other way, is there~" Kizaru drawled in a lazy tone, his face still maintaining that nonchalant expression, as if the chaos before him had nothing to do with him.

Meanwhile, on the route to Marine Headquarters Marineford, Andy sat comfortably at the bow of the ship, the sea breeze sweeping across his face, lifting a few strands of his hair.
His crimson eyes gleamed with excitement, eager to use the massive bounty points he had just acquired to enhance his own strength.
"System, open panel!" Andy muttered in his mind, and in an instant, a virtual panel emitting a mysterious blue light appeared before him.

Seeing "28.1 Billion Points" in the bounty points section, Andy could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart, his mouth suddenly splitting into a wide grin, almost laughing out loud.
Although the God's Knights and Gorosei instantly arrived at the coliseum and suppressed Andy's Karma Flame with Haoshoku, he still took the lives of many Celestial Dragons in one sweep.
What a windfall!
If it weren't for his apprehension of the mysterious Imu and the Gorosei's undying regeneration ability, he would have truly wanted to burn Mary Geoise for a few more days.
"System, spend 20 billion bounty points to strengthen Haoshoku Infusion and Tough Body! Spend 5 billion bounty points to strengthen Swordsmanship!" Andy's voice trembled slightly with excitement, his heart filled with anticipation for the increase in his strength.
[Ding~]
[Strengthening... 3... 2... 1... Strengthening successful!]
In an instant, Andy felt a powerful force surging within him, and his entire being exuded a terrifyingly powerful pressure.

"Ya hahaha! Ya hahahahaha!!" Andy suddenly stood up, throwing his head back and laughing wildly, his laughter filled with arrogance and confidence.
His aura surged abruptly, and terrifying Haoshoku poured out like surging black-red waves.
The originally clear sky was instantly torn open by a huge hole, and the entire sky was enveloped by gloom, becoming dark and lifeless.
Black-red lightning, like ferocious giant dragons, crashed and ravaged this space, emitting heart-stopping explosions.
The surrounding air seemed to be squeezed and kneaded by an invisible large hand, and the powerful aura terrified the nearby sea beasts, causing them to dive into the deep sea, not daring to show their heads.
At this moment.
Andy was like the ruler of this heaven and earth, exuding a chilling kingly aura, as if proclaiming his invincibility to the entire world.
Carifa, Alpha, and Princess Tia, the three women standing on the top deck of the yacht, were stunned by the sight before them.
Their eyes were filled with shock and awe as they looked at Andy's figure, understanding in their hearts that Andy had once again broken through and become even stronger.
