Could it be that they had come to provoke Marine Headquarters?
Basil Hawkins pondered for a moment, but shortly afterward, he withdrew his thoughts.
No matter what those people wanted to do, it was not something he could get involved in now, and he could tell…
"The Sabaody Archipelago may be about to experience terrifying chaos."
After muttering this sentence, Basil Hawkins did not hesitate at all. With a serious expression on his face, he knew he had to leave this place as soon as possible.
However, the coating had not yet been completed, so it was impossible to leave.
He exchanged glances once more with the other supernovas. The group had never intended to start a fight here in the first place, and after what had just happened, they were even less inclined to fight.
Only Basil Hawkins frowned as he looked at Kid, who had been extremely arrogant at the beginning and was still staring in the direction where the Umbrella Corporation had gone.
It seemed he had guessed something.
However, after showing a strange expression, Basil Hawkins said nothing; he simply turned around and left.
The others also left one after another, either planning, like Basil Hawkins, to find a way to leave the Sabaody Archipelago as soon as possible, or harboring other purposes…
Only Kid remained standing in place, staring in the direction the Umbrella Corporation had departed. It was not until all the other supernovas had left that a ferocious grin appeared on Kid's face. His eyes shone with a unique light, and a sentence emerged in his mind.
"He can be replaced!"
Just as this sentence appeared in his mind…
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, striking him directly. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, falling asleep.
...
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing, just dealing with an annoying fly."
Ian: "..."
Seeing that Enel did not want to say more, Ian did not mind. He glanced at the marines who had been following them all along, then shifted his gaze to Gini, who had come out together with them this time, and nodded to him.
Although their boss did not say anything explicitly, Gini understood the meaning.
He confidently patted his chest. "Leave it to me, boss."
After speaking, he directly broke away from the main group and walked off in another direction.
Everyone continued to stroll around as if they had not seen the Marines at all.
Zephyr, who was very familiar with the Sabaody Archipelago, could not help but sigh with emotion after coming here again. "This place is still the same as ever."
It was as if he were recalling something. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but it quickly disappeared.
He smiled and looked at Ian. "It's a pity that Aria and Aikes couldn't be brought along. Otherwise, there are quite a few interesting places here."
As he spoke, he let out a helpless laugh, with a tone filled with pleasure. "I reckon Marine Headquarters has already received news that we're here. I wonder if that guy, Sengoku, has been scared out of his wits!"
"The Fleet Admiral's courage isn't that small."
Ian waved his hand and said casually. "Besides, we're not here to cause trouble this time."
His gaze fell on Hajrudin at the side. "You really won't eat that Devil Fruit? That fruit is somewhat unique, but its ability is quite good. Perhaps you alone could rescue your companions?"
Hajrudin: "..."
Seeing Ian's gaze, how could Hajrudin not understand what was going on?
It was just that when it came to the so-called Celestial Dragons, even though he was a giant, he did not dare to offend them lightly. Therefore, being able to safely bring Gerd back would already satisfy him.
As for the Devil Fruit, becoming stronger was something he was quite willing to do.
But pink… it was not that he discriminated against pink. It was just that, as a tough man of Elbaph, if those people from Elbaph saw it, he would definitely be laughed to death.
Especially that detestable Loki. Even if that guy's eyes were covered, Hajrudin believed that as long as he ate that devil fruit, even if Loki's eyes were covered, he would definitely see it.
And then he would laugh at him mercilessly, perhaps even laughing until his tears fell.
That guy in particular...
Hajrudin absolutely did not want to be laughed at by that guy!
If there were no other way, in order to save his companions, he might eat that Devil Fruit.
But now that Mr. Ian was helping him, he really did not want to be mocked by that bastard, Loki.
Seeing Hajrudin shake his head, Ian did not say anything more. To be honest, if Hajrudin could accept his employment and eat the Devil Fruit, the Umbrella Corporation would likely gain another powerful combatant.
But judging from the current situation... After the Elbaph incident is over, if Loki does not remain in Elbaph, Hajrudin may have to go back to inherit the throne.
Therefore, Ian did not force him.
Of course, they were not here to cause trouble this time either. Although when he saw those Supernova pirates earlier, he had already guessed that the Straw Hat crew should have arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, and he was quite curious about their upcoming story.
He also wondered whether Marine Headquarters, after finding out, would take action against the Straw Hat crew, and whether Luffy would end up violently beating a Celestial Dragon.
Moreover, this time, Teach was present, and the Pacifista had not appeared either.
Under the encirclement of the marines, would the Straw Hat crew be able to successfully escape?
If they failed to escape, would the summit war... begin again, or would it begin in some other way?
And would Marine Headquarters refrain from acting rashly because they were here?
Under the Marines' escort, the group quickly arrived at a restaurant on Grove No. 24.
Although they were here to deal with business, it was also nice to sample the local specialty cuisine along the way.
Even Ace was very much looking forward to the food of the Sabaody Archipelago.
However, the Marines seemed to have already guessed that they would come here, so they had evacuated the diners from the restaurant in advance.
