Boa Hancock laughed triumphantly. Just as she had said, she never thought this old woman would have a day like this, and she finally managed to talk back.
Her heart was as sweet as honey at this moment, and her smug expression bloomed like a spring flower on her beautiful face.
However, since she had already obtained the old woman's approval, and there were no longer any ties binding her here, she naturally had to prepare to set off immediately. She immediately turned around and quickly spoke to her two younger sisters.
These two sisters were the second sister, Boa Sandersonia, a Devil Fruit user with the ability of the Snake-Snake Fruit, common species, python form.
And the third sister, Boa Marigold, a Devil Fruit user with the ability of the Snake-Snake Fruit, common species, king cobra form.
"Yes, I will prepare the ship immediately."
"Alright, Big Sister, I will go select the crew right away."
The two sisters, who had unique appearances, quickly agreed, believing it wouldn't be long before they could set sail.
But right now, they weren't the only ones looking for the Pink Hat Pirates; besides Doflamingo and Boa Hancock, two other Warlord of the Sea had also embarked on the journey...
"Let me verify if you can also become an opponent worth betting on."
At this moment, Hawkeye, who had just left his home, piloting his coffin boat and paddling vigorously by himself, was one of them.
And his intention was already clear; as the World's Strongest Swordsman, the only things that truly interested him in this world were other swordsmen.
Especially after this broadcast, Hawkeye had recognized Kuina as definitely an excellent swordsman, and her future and talent were far superior to that green-haired, three-sword-style young man.
Therefore, Hawkeye's current trip was to compete with Kuina, as Kuina's current strength was entirely capable of fighting Hawkeye—a true fight...
"Boss, wait for me for a moment. You will return very soon."
The other person was Jinbe, the whale shark Fish-Man known as the Knight of the Sea. Although he was a 'blue fatty,' he was actually extremely agile, especially in the water, and Jinbe was definitely a powerhouse who had cultivated Fish-Man Karate to its peak.
And his goal was already very clear: after seeing through the broadcast that Luna actually had the ability to resurrect the dead, although he was shocked and incredulous, at the same time, he immediately became excited and tearful.
Because, just like the thing he wanted to do now, no matter the cost, he wanted Luna to resurrect his most admired older brother, the Sea-Bream Fish-Man, Tiger...
Four of the Warlord of the Sea were already active.
As for the others, with Dragon's instructions, Kuma naturally didn't need to come.
The Sand Crocodile had long since been locked up in Impel Down, but it seemed that even though this old crocodile was locked away, even in Level Six, the Infinite Hell, he was still stirring restlessly.
As for Moria, the only Warlord of the Sea member currently holding a grudge against Luna, he naturally dared not offend Luna and Rocks. So, he decided to continue staying in his dark, godforsaken hellhole, living a dead-fat-otaku life. But he didn't know that he would soon be in trouble, even without waiting for Luffy to arrive.
When Luna found out about this later, she was also greatly surprised, as it exceeded her expectations.
But besides them, other people were also making moves. After all, whether it was due to the strength of the Pink Hat Pirates or the return of Rocks, some of these people truly couldn't sit still anymore.
First was Wang Zhi, who occupied Hachinosu Island in the New World. Whether it was due to his fear of Rocks or his own advanced age, he actually had another idea.
But regardless, he planned to surrender and pledge allegiance directly when Rocks arrived, handing over the territory that once belonged to Rocks.
Then there was the Golden Lion. This old lion also wanted to make some changes and have some ideas different from the original story, especially after Rocks, his Old Captain, truly returned.
But when he thought about the effort he had put in over the years, which couldn't be wasted just like that, he gritted his teeth and prepared to execute the plan he had formulated years ago to destroy the East Blue on schedule.
However, the current Yonko had different reactions, just like Basa and Core Wolf before them...
Wano Country, Onigashima.
"Damn it!" Kaido, like a provoked lion, was furious at this moment. He violently smashed the sake jar in his hand.
The sake jar, like fragile porcelain, instantly shattered into pieces on the ground. The fragrant, pure scent of the sake vanished in the air like a flash in the pan, quickly replaced by the smell of dust, which rapidly covered the aroma.
Kaido released his Conqueror's Haki, accompanied by his unparalleled rage at this moment, erupting like a volcano.
Instantly, the heavens and the earth changed color, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.
Under his powerful coercion, everyone in the Beast Pirates trembled like leaves in a cold wind, including the Three Disasters and the Flying Six.
However, Kaido was truly furious now, angry enough to boil a kettle.
He never expected the Old Captain of the crew to be resurrected just like that. He had originally been watching the broadcast leisurely, wearing an expression of enjoyment as if watching a show.
But the return of Rocks instantly made the food and drink in his hands tasteless, and sitting on his throne felt like sitting on pins and needles.
Moreover, the thought that Rocks would definitely come looking for trouble made his mood even worse, which led to the scene at the beginning.
"No, I am no longer the me of yesteryear—that mere punching bag on the ship. The me of today is Kaido, the Strongest Creature alive. I am completely different now, reborn!
Hmph, Old Captain Rocks, if you really want to come looking for trouble, then bring it on and try!"
In his fury, Kaido comforted himself. His smile turned ferocious, as if he wanted to devour everything in the world.
Within this ferocious smile, a hint of confidence was revealed. Whether this confidence was blind or not, remained unknown.
After all, the current Kaido was worlds apart from the intern he had been on Rocks' ship back then.
But clearly, Garp had already made up his mind: even if Rocks truly came, he would not back down and would face him head-on until the end.
He truly lived up to his reputation as the most reckless and masochistic of the Yonko!
... Totto Land, Cake Island.
Similar to Kaido, upon seeing the return of the Old Captain, Rocks.
The thought that this demon would definitely come looking for trouble in the New World as soon as he returned.
Charlotte Linlin was immediately so enraged that she suffered a fit of food addiction syndrome on the spot, destroying everything she saw.
The members of the Charlotte Family trembled, desperately trying to evade the 'love' coming from their mother.
But soon...
