An unknown sea region in the New World.
A red airship marked with the word "NEWS" is slowly flying in the sky.
"Has he arrived? Has that guy finally arrived!"
Morgans is ecstatic, pacing rapidly around the cabin, wings flapping madly, longing to fly up.
Unfortunately... he can't fly.
"Yes, boss! Just fell from the sky! Apart from the Sea Emperor himself, the three top cadres have mobilized in full force and are already confronting the Navy Grand Admiral!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful! It's so wonderful!"
Morgans laughed loudly, shouting into the microphone: "Keep the live broadcast going, activate all spare Radio Snails! Make sure to showcase everything without any blind spots, this live broadcast must not have any mistakes!"
"Boss!"
The deputy wiped cold sweat aside, "...but this involves the Heavenly Celestial Dragon! Are we really going to broadcast such a scene? What if the World Government retaliates afterward..."
"What's the problem?"
Morgans sneered, "We just heard that Admiral Kizaru led the Navy to quell the turmoil, so we started the broadcast to show this inspiring scene to the people!"
"As for Shano, the Endgame, they came later to stir trouble, unexpectedly entering the frame, what does it have to do with us!"
...
At the gate of Shampodi Paradise.
"Really a headache."
Kizaru rubbed his temples, slightly troubled as he looked at Shano opposite:
"A New World Emperor suddenly descending here without notice? I don't want to fight you, this monster, let alone that you brought these few..."
He raised his head, glancing around Shano.
The Big Bear at six point nine meters, Jack at eight point three meters, standing silently like bodyguards on both sides, plus that girl with frightening swordsmanship behind...
Such a terrifying lineup.
If another Grand Admiral doesn't come, how could he handle it alone!
"May I ask, how did you guys get over here?"
Kizaru couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.
Whitebeard, Kaido, Red Hair, Charlotte.
And the newly risen Shano...
For the territories of the Sea Emperors, the Navy Headquarters has deployed surveillance ships, constantly monitoring movements from the extreme edges for years.
The Seven Islands of the Purple Vine Sea Region are naturally included.
"Do you think I'll answer?"
Shano chuckled lightly, his gaze swept over and only then noticed those knocked-out Super Rookies, slightly raising his brows in surprise.
"Huh?"
Ace, Zoro, Sanji, Law, Bartolomeo...
Interesting.
These Super Rookies from different eras managed to gather together?
And that Green Algae Head, heard from Belle-Mere earlier that he separated from Sanji just after going to sea, could he have reached the end of Paradise on his own?
"Oh? Indeed."
Kizaru has been secretly observing Shano's expressions, seeing this scene, he slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
The sudden descent during the first half made it hard to understand intentions, what he feared most was the lack of negotiation opportunity, leading straight to a fight.
But now it seems...
"Lord Shano seems quite interested in these young ones."
Kizaru spoke softly with a smile:
"Since that's so, how about a deal? As long as these Super Rookies have ties to your lordship, I can turn a blind eye and leave them to you. In exchange, there mustn't be a major disruption in Shampodi, once your matters are done, please leave, how about it?"
"Oh?"
Shano looked at him with interest:
"A dignified Navy Grand Admiral proposing a deal with pirates? This isn't like your previous style, Borsalino."
"There's no choice~"
Kizaru spread his hands, his tone still lazy and unreadable:
"I'm famous for not liking trouble, but what I dislike more is fighting battles without a chance of winning. Facing opponents like your lordship, not taking action and maintaining peace is naturally the best choice."
This statement was remarkably straightforward, and even Sentomaru beside him listened in astonishment.
"Ha? Old man! What are you saying!"
Sentomaru put down the giant axe, incredulously turning to him, "The opponent is a pirate, a pirate! As a righteous navy, how can we make conces..."
"Shh."
Kizaru gestured for silence, blinking, ghostly said:
"Sentomaru-kun, you're approaching middle age, you should step out of the innocent world of children, this sea is really complex, some matters can't be solved just with fighting."
"But..." Sentomaru just about to retort.
"Hey! Borsalino!"
A sharp rebuke suddenly broke the atmosphere, Saint Pulmingge rode on a slave's back, full of impatience coming forward:
"What the hell are you dawdling about! Didn't I say this before? This saint fancies that woman, hurry up and get my desired collection!"
He whipped pointing at Kuina, yet this guy didn't notice the commotion here just before, mixing them up.
"Exactly, a mere Navy Grand Admiral dare let us wait so long!"
Charulia Palace also came forward, coldly echoing, though her gaze quickly got attracted to the Big Bear and Jack, surprisingly covering her mouth:
"Oh? Such tall figures, could they possess Giant Race blood? Borsalino, take these two big guys down for this palace too!"
