"You... don't understand the horror of that monster at all, that's why you said such things..."

The pirates in the corner all lowered their heads. The trip to the new world a few months ago allowed them to truly experience what despair and cruelty are. The second half of the Grand Line is like a ferocious beast that will destroy all attempts.

The pirate who became famous in the new world swallowed up.

The pirates in the tavern seemed to be influenced by them. After all, their captain, who had a bounty of 76 million Baileys, was also a first-tier pirate in the first half of the chapter. Even such a pirate group was only a member of the New World.

To be reduced to this level.

"Let's go."

Ilumi stood up from the sofa, followed closely by Hei Shimou and the other three. When passing by the group of pirates, he glanced at them from the corner of his eye. It would be too fanciful to think that he could live a stable life by retreating to the first half.

, what follows is the real hell.

"Hey, that one just now wasn't..."

"Ah... the leader of the big criminal [Blackwater International] who has a bounty of 1.6 billion, Ilumi."

"Shouldn't a character of this level be in the new world?"

"Is it possible that the new world can no longer satisfy those big shots and plans to reach into the first half?"

"Isn't that a lie!?"

"Should we... leave the Grand Line?"

After Ilumi left, the tavern became noisy again. Some people recognized Ilumi's identity and guessed some terrible results without authorization. The pirates who were already affected by the negative emotions just now couldn't help but think of withdrawing from the Grand Line.

idea.

Navy Headquarters, Marinevando...

In the Admiral's office, Cyborg was sitting at his desk, while Lieutenant General He, Garp, Kuzan, and Sengoku were sitting on three sofas respectively, drinking tea, eating snacks, napping, and meditating.

"Five months ago, according to the report of our intelligence personnel in the New World, a man who claimed to be under the command of Golden Lion Shiji came to Yilumi. The two parties talked about something unknown and had a small conflict. Then Yilumi left secretly.

A new world.”

Cyborg Kong had a stack of documents in front of him, which contained information about Ilumi's actions and traces in the past few months.

There are also four stacks of documents placed on the coffee table in front of Karp and others.

"The intelligence officer disappeared while performing a tracking mission. It was presumed that he was discovered and eliminated. Therefore, we don't know where Ilumi went or what he did in the first half of two months."

"Now that he has reappeared in the first half of the episode, he has no intention of returning to the new world. What exactly is he planning to do?"

Cyborg Kong frowned. This Illumi has been his biggest headache in the past two years. He never stops causing trouble everywhere. Moreover, because he has many secrets of the world government, especially Illumi has shown that he is not weak in

After Whitebeard's strength, the top government officials were a little more cautious in dealing with this person.

"The only thing that can be determined now is that his purpose in going to the first half of the journey is to meet the Golden Lion."

Lieutenant General He, who was sipping tea with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, his eyes fell on the documents in front of him, and his tone was calm.

"Almost at the same time that Ilumi reappeared in the new world, the Golden Lion suddenly appeared in the first half of the episode, and destroyed three pirate groups as soon as he appeared."

"The Nok Pirates, the Maria Pirates, and the Caesar Pirates, all three of them were rare pirates with nearly 100 million bounties in the first half, and they were destroyed by him on the same day. Is this announcing the return of the legend to the world?

?”

"Also, I'm very concerned about Ilumi's sailing route."

Lieutenant General He's words deeply resonated with Sengoku. He is the only current general in the Navy. The recent turbulent situation in the New World has made him very anxious. The pirates' shuffle has become more and more intense, and it has begun to affect the Navy's position in the New World.

arranged.

"Everyone is a troublemaker."

Warring States rubbed his brows vigorously and picked up a piece of paper from a pile of documents in front of him. It was about Ilumi's sailing route last month. As he looked at it, Warring States frowned.

"This route, that guy from Ilumi, is he going to Balkimoa?"

"Balkimoa?"

Warring States' words immediately made the three of Garp, Kuzan and Cyborg look startled, especially Cyborg. He immediately opened the drawer and took out a file bag. The cover of the file bag read "Blackwater International - Archives".

"Wow, wow, wow..."

Cyborg Kong took out a large pile of information from the document bag and began to flip through it quickly. After a while, he stopped browsing and picked up several pieces of information to check carefully. The more he read, the more the word "Chuan" on his eyebrows became more condensed.

Reality.

"This is the report on the [Battle of Périgord] half a year ago. You should also take a look."

Cyborg put the information on the table back into the document bag. With a flick of his wrist, the document bag spun and flew to the coffee table in front of the four of them.

"The Battle of Périgord or something..." The document bag was closest to Kuzan, so he picked it up and said in a lazy tone: "Didn't Blackwater International run away after the tsunami? It has nothing to do with him, right?"

"What's this?"

Kuzan just glanced at it and noticed a strange animal picture on the information.

"Three meters tall, with a body covered in high-strength armor and a laser-emitting device in his mouth..."

"Mechanically modified organisms?"

When Kuzan said these six words, he inexplicably felt that the atmosphere in the office was a lot heavier. He immediately raised his head and looked at Lieutenant General He, Warring States, and Cyborg, and found that they all frowned, looking like "It's not a big deal."

"Wonderful" expression.

"Capusan..."

Kuzan turned to look at Garp and found that even Garp had a solemn expression.

"Mechanically modified organisms, I remember it was Vegapunk's invention, right?" Garp said with a heavy tone, "After the World Government dealt with that illegal team, it sealed the research institute, leaving behind those mechanically modified organisms as well.

Already."

"It should now be managed by the naval base stationed in Balkimoa."

"The arrangement is indeed like this, but..." Warring States nodded. Sitting on the sofa, he bent over slightly, put his elbows on his legs and knees, and supported his chin with the fingers of his hands clasped tightly, and said thoughtfully: "Three years ago

, something drastic seems to have happened within Balkimoa, and it has also affected Jiaji.”

"Some time ago, too, Balkimoa suddenly launched an attack and quickly invaded the three neighboring countries without any warning. What happened in Balkimoa?"

Having said this, the three people on the sofa all turned their attention to Cyborg, and Kuzan also looked over.

A few years ago, he had no access to such secrets. Now he is able to sit here and participate in such secret talks because the Navy's senior leadership is about to undergo changes, and he will soon be able to further develop the relationship.

Therefore, he could only lean on the sofa with his head in his hands, quietly listening to the conversation between Cyborg, Garp and others.
