It's no wonder Sengoku was so alarmed; the Pink Hat Pirates, who already possess power beyond that of the Yonko, are fully capable of confronting the Marines head-on.
Moreover, they have the intelligent and powerful Luna, coupled with her void immunity, making them invincible.
The Marines are absolutely no match for Luna, even if that person returns.
And don't forget, Luna also has the power to replicate Devil Fruit Abilities and revive the dead.
It's best not to send out Devil Fruit Users against her, but how many powerful Devil Fruit Users are there in the Marines? And Luna can revive many strong individuals and a large number of troops at any time.
With all this, Sengoku felt Luna could earn another title: 'Invincible of the East.' She comes from the East Blue and possesses an invincible position, so 'Invincible of the East' couldn't be more fitting.
But now, Luna originally only had one external helper, her grandfather, Rocks D. Xebec.
That demon would definitely help his Granddaughter, especially against the Marines and the World Government, and he would likely strike very heavily.
However, now Shanks and Whitebeard have appeared.
These are the two strongest among the current Yonko; Whitebeard, with the powerful Tremor-Tremor Fruit, is also known as the 'Earthquake Man.' Red-Haired Shanks has a special identity and is powerful.
Although he is not a Devil Fruit User, he also benefits from not being one.
How can they fight this? The Marines plus the World Government would struggle.
So he now hopes that it's absolutely not such news.
"You scoundrels over there, absolutely do not say such news!"
But fortunately, at this moment, Sengoku was lucky.
The transponder snail quickly relayed the voices of those secret agents from the other side.
"You can rest assured, it didn't happen.
The three parties don't look like they're forming an alliance, but they probably won't be hostile to each other either."
"Oh, that's good.
Then what's the bad news you mentioned?" Hearing this, Sengoku immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously.
But at the same time, in the next moment, Sengoku was almost angered to the point of spitting blood.
The Marine secret agent on the other side immediately said:
"It's just... it's just Fifth Emperor Lu Yue, I don't know, she seems to have displayed some new technique.
Now Shanks has regenerated his severed arm; the arm he lost many years ago has returned.
And even Whitebeard seems to have recovered his youth and peak condition through some method, just like he was before.
He now has golden hair and looks very strong and majestic."
"What did you say?" Sengoku's eyes widened, staring intently at the transponder snail in his hand, veins bulging on his forehead.
His breathing became rapid, and his chest heaved violently, as if it would explode any second.
"How is this possible..." he muttered, his voice filled with shock and disbelief.
Shanks, the man who had lost an arm, had regenerated it?
And Whitebeard, the legendary pirate who had entered his twilight years, had returned to his prime?
A strong sense of unease welled up in Sengoku's heart.
He knew that these two pirates were already extremely powerful, and now they were even more formidable.
Their existence was undoubtedly a huge threat to the World Government and the Marines, not to mention that all of this was brought about by Luna.
"We must take action as soon as possible!" Sengoku gritted his teeth, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
He turned to the Marine Soldiers behind him and issued orders: "Increase surveillance on the New World, closely monitor the movements of Shanks, Whitebeard, and Luna, who has already appeared in the New World.
At the same time, inform all Marine elites to be prepared to respond to any potential crisis at any time!"
"Yes, sir."
"Alright, Fleet Admiral."
The Marine Soldiers responded in unison, then turned and left to carry out Sengoku's orders.
Sengoku stood alone, looking at the sky outside the window, silently praying in his heart for the strength to overcome all challenges.
But is this possible? Because, setting aside everything else, the Marines themselves have internal problems.
One must pacify the interior before dealing with external threats; Sengoku didn't understand this, but even if he did, he probably wouldn't be able to change the current state of the Marines...
Meanwhile, the news of the Pink Hat Pirates becoming a new Yonko Pirate Crew, even a super-Yonko level Pirate Crew, especially with Luna becoming the fifth emperor of the Sea, has reached more and more people.
While many were shocked and surprised, many felt it was deserved, as they had all watched the live broadcast and understood how terrifyingly powerful and capable this Pirate Crew, formed by a group of newcomers and Young Ladys who had only been at sea for a few months, truly was.
But there are always some short-sighted pirates, just as Sengoku and his colleagues had expected, who are very unwilling to accept this.
On this vast sea, there's no reason for the Marines to suppress pirates.
Pirates are disunited, constantly fighting each other, and possess a foolish arrogance; such people make up over 90% of all pirates.
Many people immediately became indignant, especially some pirates in the New World with bounties over 100 million Beli, who all declared that as soon as the Pink Hat Pirates arrived, they would definitely go and deal with them.
But little did they know that Luna had no intention of entering the New World for at least two or three years; they were dreaming, and they wouldn't even get to see her.
Moreover, it's possible they would be eliminated within those two or three years.
However, some in the first half of the Grand Line have already decided to seek trouble with the Pink Hat Pirates.
One can only say that these people are truly brainless; their pursuit will only lead to their demise.
This includes groups or individuals such as slave traders and Bounty Hunters who consider themselves strong, courageous, and confident.
However, they actually did come knocking, because the island Luna chose was exposed and had been discovered by the World Government and the Marines.
To carry out their insignificant, yet they believed effective, scheme of 'killing with a borrowed knife,' they immediately spread this information through special channels and methods.
Now, many pirates, Bounty Hunters, and others already know that the Pink Hat Pirates' base is on a Deserted Island.
Many people are preparing to cause trouble for them, especially after they learned that Luna was temporarily absent, having suddenly appeared in the New World for unknown reasons, which gave many fools going to their deaths courage.
However, what awaits them is only being dealt with and sent to hell.
But among them were also Marine informants, and CP Organization agents and spies sent by the World Government, who were also in action.
At the same time, upon learning that Luna had appeared in the New World, many confident, foolish pirates decided to seek trouble with Luna.
They wanted to prove to the world that they were more capable of becoming the fifth emperor than this Young Lady, Luna.
But as for the outcome, hehe, two words:'seeking death.'
