Time flies and it's the next day.

Marinford is greeted by a group of aggressive guys, led by a burly man with a head of purple hair.

It's the former admiral Zephyr.

Zephyr's men were stopped by Aokiji, and only he was led into the meeting room.

When he stepped into the door, Zephyr's expression instantly became very stunned, his pupils shrank but his eyes widened unconsciously, and he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Although he heard that Carl was still alive, seeing it with his own eyes was another kind of shock.

"Carl!? It's really you!" Zefa's mechanical arm slowly clenched, trying to control his emotions.

Carl was still sitting in a wheelchair. When he saw Zefa come in, he looked up and smiled,"Zefar, long time no see. You don't look like you're doing very well."

Zefa slowly recovered from his stunned mood. He ignored Carl's words and asked directly,"Where have you been all these years? Why didn't you show up? What happened in the Valley of the Gods back then?"

Zefa didn't know the details of what happened to Carl in the Valley of the Gods that year.

Carl didn't intend to hide it and told him everything.

After listening, Zefa's brows jumped with anger, and he said hatefully,"It's so abominable! We were all outside the Valley of the Gods at the beginning, but I didn't expect you to be treated so unfairly inside!"

"At that time, I thought that since Karl, Sengoku, and Marshal Cyborg were all there, nothing could possibly happen. But I never expected that Sengoku and Garp would be sent away, and Marshal Cyborg... He actually stood on the side of the Five Elders and harmed his own compatriots! I am so disappointed in him!"

"And the damn World Government! I have long been disappointed with them, so I chose to quit the navy and form a new navy myself."

Zefa talked about his own experience.

Carl was silent for a moment, and said sympathetically:"Zefar, you are really not having a good time."

"Yes! How can I be well? My family was killed by pirates. The students I taught were attacked by pirates and only two were left. I also lost an arm. But the navy wanted to recruit this person as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. I am so disappointed."

"Carl, if you are here to persuade me to return to the navy, don't waste your breath. I will never come back!"

Zeffer became more and more angry, expressing his strong condemnation and dissatisfaction with the navy.

Sengoku lowered his head in shame, and didn't even dare to look at Zeffer. He had to admit that he was wrong in that matter, but it was not entirely his problem. After all, the orders issued by the World Government were directly linked to the World Government. It was only after this battle that the Seven Warlords of the Sea chose to surrender to the navy under the pressure of Carl.

The situation in the sea gradually became turbulent, and no one dared to say who would be the final winner.

"I just came back to see my old friend. I am glad that you are alive, but if there is nothing else, I will leave first."Zefa noticed that the atmosphere became quiet because of his words, so he stood up and suggested leaving.

Of course, if the other party did not intend to let him leave safely, he would not be afraid. At most, he would fight. He had nothing to worry about in this life.

""Wait."

As expected, Carl called out to Zefa.

Zefa turned around slowly, his aura gradually condensed and released, he looked full of fighting spirit, and said in a low voice:"Carl, do you want to keep me?"

Carl placed his palm lightly on the table,"No, I don't want to keep you, nor do I want you to return to the navy, I just come to find you to kill someone together"

"Kill someone?" Zefa was slightly stunned, not understanding what Carl was up to, and asked in surprise:"Kill who?"

Carl actually came to him to kill someone?

Zefa was almost confused by Carl.

Carl grinned and said with murderous intent:"Whitebeard II!"

"Are you serious? Do you know where he is?"Zefa looked anxious and even a little excited.

"Of course. Are you willing to join this operation?" Carl said meaningfully.

Zefa took a deep breath, obviously still had some concerns that he couldn't express.

Carl said again:"I invited you back this time just to show my attitude. I want to build a different navy and it's not just talk. After all, I have already made harsh words to the Five Elders, and even Cyborg was imprisoned by me. But how to change the navy specifically requires everyone's joint efforts. How about it? Do you want to take this trip? Just regard it as a joint operation between your troops and the navy."

His words were very tempting and seemed very sincere.

But what moved Zefa was Whitebeard II. He really wanted to kill that man. The previous Zefa might have been moved by Carl's sincerity, but now that he has experienced ups and downs in life, it is difficult for him to trust others easily.

Carl knew this very well.

He chose Zefa because Zefa was a responsible, responsible, and well-intentioned admiral of the navy. His strength may not be the best in the navy, but in other aspects, he has fulfilled the responsibilities of a navy. It's just that the hemp rope is broken at the thinnest point. The students he put all his efforts into were slaughtered by the navy, and he also broke an arm, which greatly reduced his strength.

But now, a new opportunity is in front of him.

"How about it? Do you need to think about it for a few days? As long as you agree, I will send someone immediately."Carl paused tapping the table with his fingers, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zefa finally nodded heavily and said,"Okay! I agree!"

"Very good!" Carl was very satisfied with the answer, his tone relaxed, and he turned around and ordered:"Kuzan, Chatun, you lead a team of elite soldiers and fight together with Zefa! Remember, I want the head of Whitebeard II and the woman behind Whitebeard Twenty. If you can capture them alive, that's the best. If not, just kill them directly."

Karl ordered coldly.

Last night, Karl rethought a lot of things, and one thing came to his mind again, that is, Rocks had taken his blood.

You know, the Five Elders came to ask for it in person, but they were rejected by Karl.

Karl always felt a little uneasy when he thought that his blood fell into Rocks' hands.

And MISS Bakin is Rocks's subordinate, and she is very good at cloning. Not only is Whitebeard II a clone of Whitebeard, but even Bakin's own clone has become a major figure in CP-0, the exclusive agency of the World Government.

This makes people very confused: why do we only see Whitebeard and Bakin's own clones?

You know, there were many powerful guys in the Rocks Pirates, Golden Lion, John, and now Kaido and Big Mom, and the most important thing is Rocks. Why don't they have clones?

Is it really that they don't have them, or have they been hiding in the dark, or is the technology not mature?

Whatever the reason is, Karl must get a confirmed answer.

Especially since it is about his own blood

"Yes!"Aokiji and Chaton responded.

Then they set out with Zephyr to hunt down Whitebeard II.

Because Whitebeard was not dead, Whitebeard II who escaped from Impel Down had not yet started to devour Whitebeard's territory in such a big way, but his strength would definitely make him a very famous existence.

At the same time.

Kraikana Island.

This is a very desolate island.

There are not even any residents on the island. The most powerful tribe is a group of super baboons called imitators.

This is where Hawkeye lives.

After Hawkeye left Marinford, he took a boat back to his island. He was unusually silent along the way.

He fell into doubt about himself. He is known as the world's number one swordsman and has the Black Knife Night, but in front of that man, he didn't even have the courage to challenge him.

Is it really because the gap in strength is too huge, or has he lost the heart of a strong man?

Because of this incident, he was in a bad mood, and he didn't even have the mood to say hello to his best friend Shanks in Marinford.

But as he slowly approached his residence, Hawkeye noticed something was wrong.

There seems to be someone here?

When he found out, he happened to see an unconscious figure.

A head of iconic green algae, who else could it be except Zoro?

Hawkeye suddenly remembered the scene when he first met Zoro. At that time, the very weak guy dared to challenge him. He wore the dignity of a swordsman and would never get hurt from behind...

He was slightly moved, and seemed to understand something in his heart. At the same time, he decided to save Zoro.

On the other side.

Dressrosa.

This was originally a free country, but later it was ruled by Doflamingo.

Doflamingo, who had returned from Marinford, walked into the palace, sat on the throne, picked up a glass of red wine, and drank it in big gulps as if it were water.

"Gurgle Gurgle~~"

After drinking a large glass of red wine, Doflamingo put down the glass and looked at the officers standing in front of him.

"Why are you all here? Don't you have your own mission?" His voice was a little low.

Below, Torebol, Seka, Diamandi, and Rao·G、Senior Pico, Gladius, Derringer, Mahbais, Sucrose... all of them were there.

They all knew what happened in Marinford, and they were all waiting for Doflamingo to return, waiting for their young master to return.

"Dover, are you okay? Everyone is worried about you. Torrebol said with a long runny nose and mucus.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey~ You guys underestimate me. I'm not someone who will be easily defeated! That person is indeed very strong, but sooner or later I will surpass him! Sooner or later, no matter the navy, the Four Emperors, or the World Government, they will not be able to give me orders!"

"I want to regain my position as a Celestial Dragon!"

Doflamingo said ambitiously, laughing in a low voice, which even looked a bit scary.

After talking for a while, everyone left, except Trebol.

"What? Is there something else?" Doflamingo frowned. He wanted to be alone now.

Trebol looked around, his expression obviously tensed. He whispered:"Dover, come with me. Just yesterday, a devil fruit suddenly appeared in the boxes of artificial devil fruits."

"An extra devil fruit? Did Caesar make an extra one?"Doflamingo looked puzzled.

"No, no, no, Dover, this fruit is not an artificial devil fruit, but a real devil fruit. It appeared suddenly. Maybe it is the fate between him and you! Let's go and have a look, Dover."

Torrebol looked mysterious.

Then the two came to the secret room where the artificial devil fruit was stored. Torrebol carefully brought a treasure chest.

Doflamingo opened the treasure chest slowly with doubts.

What he saw was a devil fruit.

The appearance was lavender, with a snail spiral pattern.

"This is……"

Doflamingo's face showed confusion and shock, because he felt a breath of temptation coming from this devil fruit, which made him want to take it.

This devil fruit seemed to have life.

A unique devil fruit.

A devil fruit that suddenly appeared!

And the time it appeared was about the time when Carl killed Blackbeard!

Doflamingo stared at the lavender devil fruit in his hand, and his eyes gradually became struggling.……

…………

One day passed.

At night, the calm sea surface was surging with waves, reflecting the bright moonlight, making the sea surface bright, and the broken moon in the water could be seen everywhere.

The sea breeze was slightly wet, and it wandered in Marinford with a salty smell.

In just one day, the overall reconstruction of Marinford was in full swing. The navy soldiers were all motivated, and even at night there were navy soldiers transporting supplies.

An inconspicuous boat was mixed in with the warships and boarded Marinford without a trace.

The two people on the boat were wrapped in cloaks and capes, and their appearance was completely unclear, but the strange thing was that the surrounding navy did not seem to notice it. Soon the two people sneaked into the core area of Marinford.

At this time, a cloaked man under the cloak suddenly took out a map with a red dot marked on it.

The two people under the cloak took a quick glance, then judged the direction and entered the office building, and finally quietly came to a meeting room.

The leader raised his head slightly and glanced at the number of the conference room. The light flashed by, seeming to illuminate the scar on his face.

""Chief, this is it."

A slightly younger man's voice came from the cloak behind him.

As the cloak swayed, you could vaguely see the occasional fluttering golden hair.

"Well, go in."

The leading cloaked man had a very hoarse voice, nodded, and then directly pushed open the door of the conference room.

The moment he entered the door, he was stunned.

Because there were so many people in the room, it really looked like they were in a meeting.

However, when he looked closely, he was particularly shocked, because these people were very large.

In the first place, there was a young man sitting in a wheelchair.

The first on the left hand, the new Navy Admiral, Akainu.

The second on the left hand, the Navy Admiral, Kizaru.

The third on the left hand, Taotu.

The left hand...

The first on the right hand, the former Navy Admiral, Sengoku.

The second on the right hand, the Navy hero, Garp.

The third on the right hand, Fire Fist Ace...

The fourth, Straw Hat Boy Luffy...

The fifth, the demon king Ivankov...

The lineup is all kinds of strange.

The figure under the cloak looked slightly surprised, and then returned to normal. Did he really think that he had been the leader of the Revolutionary Army for so many years in vain?

He was not scared.

Carl spoke first and smiled slightly:"Sit down, I'm waiting for you. Dragon."
