Nami, Princess Vivi, and Bonney gathered around Kuina, chattering excitedly.
"No… it's all the power from this that big brother gave me!"
Kuina showed the Archer Class Card to the girls.
"Wah ah"
Bonney's eyes lit up.
The next second.
Slap!
Bonney subconsciously raised her hand to her head, taking off the Rider Class Card on it.
"Big brother, is this… for me?"
Bonney asked, somewhat uncertainly.
"Otherwise?"
Roland smiled in response.
"Wow oh~ That's great, I have one too~ Daddy, Daddy, I can also be as cool as Kuina-chan was just now!"
Bonney cheered.
"That's really great, Bonney!"
Tyrant Kuma patted his daughter's head and gave Roland a grateful look.
"Everyone,"
Just then, Iceburg, the mayor of Water 7, accompanied by Foreman Barry, approached Roland's group.
"I am immensely grateful to Lord Robin and all you beautiful young ladies for your invaluable assistance this time. Thanks to you, Water 7 remains intact and free from pirate disturbances!"
Iceburg bowed deeply.
"No, no, no, the pirates were originally because of us…"
Nami's words were cut short as she was pulled back by the benevolent Robin.
Everyone knew the pirates' true objective.
Some things were better left unsaid, for everyone's sake.
The current fact was that they had protected the city from the pirate attack.
Iceburg, as the mayor, was expressing his gratitude to them while also showing goodwill; they only needed to accept it gracefully.
"Everyone, I have prepared a small banquet at my humble abode; would you do me the honor of attending?"
Iceburg respectfully invited them.
"Alright!"
Roland calmly nodded in agreement.
His gaze subtly flickered towards Karifa.
No matter what, he had taken Karifa's first time.
This matter needed to be addressed; he couldn't pretend to know nothing.
Here, Roland and the giants were heading to the Karera Company as guests at Iceburg's enthusiastic invitation.
On the other side, Marine Headquarters Marineford and Holy Land Mary Geoise had already erupted into chaos.
...
...
Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral's Office.
"What? Kuzan, you, you, you… What did you say? Is that true or false?! You're not joking, are you? The Air Force defeated the Pirate Alliance of a hundred crews all by themselves, completely annihilated on the spot, with no survivors!"
Listening to the report from battlefield correspondent Admiral Aokiji, Fleet Admiral Sengoku felt completely numb.
"Why would I joke about something like this with you? This group's strength far exceeds everyone's imagination; the actual battle scenes were far more exaggerated and shocking than my retelling!"
Admiral Aokiji sighed with emotion.
"Little Cat Burglar is a Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, Kuina and Bonney, the two Magical Girls, have also gained new powers, and Shukaku, who was treated as a teapot pet, is probably some kind of Mythical Zoan ability user. Nico Robin and Princess Vivi also… Even Traveler Rolin didn't have to make a move, and the Pirate Alliance of a hundred crews was defeated!"
Aokiji continued speaking to himself, while Fleet Admiral Sengoku in the office remained silent.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Sengoku, I just saw the giants from afar. Weren't the two giant soldier captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates already captured by Borsalino? Why are they in Water 7? Could it be that…"
Admiral Aokiji thought of a terrifying possibility.
"Yes! Just ten minutes ago, Enies Lobby was captured by that man… by Traveler Rolin! Borsalino is severely injured, and Enies Lobby has sunk, no longer existing!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku said faintly.
Admiral Aokiji: "!!!"
What the f*ck!!!
My %…
"Wait a moment, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, did you just say ten minutes?"
Aokiji seemed to have realized something.
"Yes, is there a ques…"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's words abruptly stopped as he also realized the problem.
Is the distance between Enies Lobby and Water 7 that short?
Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Five Elders' Meeting Hall.
The vast conference room was silent, so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.
Just moments ago, the Five Elders had received the full report on the Water 7 incident.
After a long while.
"If the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit user is Nami, the Thief Cat, then... what kind of ability user is the man who displayed lightning abilities during the battle with Admiral Kizaru at Enies Lobby?"
Mercury Gorosei Wochury was the first to speak in a deep voice, breaking the silence.
"What's with this 'Magical Girl' power? How can such fantastical power truly exist in this world? But if it's a Devil Fruit... could it be a new power born from someone wishing to become a Magical Girl?"
Mars Gorosei Marcus Mars's brows were twisted into a knot.
"Why does Nico Robin's Flower-Flower Fruit ability exhibit characteristics similar to a Logia-type Forest-Forest Fruit? And what kind of Mythical Zoan ability is that teapot pet? Everything about this group is too abnormal!"
Venus Gorosei Nasujuro shook his head repeatedly.
"And there's the issue with Bonney and Kuma... We intended to divert the trouble, to pit Kuma against that man, but it seems we've shot ourselves in the foot. Kuma is probably..."
Saturn Gorosei Saturn gnashed his teeth in anger, repeatedly striking his cane against the floor.
"Compared to these matters, the beginning and end of these two incidents today should be enough to confirm my original speculation, shouldn't they?"
Jupiter Gorosei Pete said faintly.
Another long silence followed.
"The distance between Enies Lobby and Water 7 is vast; even the Sea Train takes six hours. If they went to Enies Lobby because they received prior notice and departed early, then..."
"The man's duel with Admiral Kizaru in the Enies Lobby incident and the Hundred Pirates Alliance War in the Water 7 incident happened almost simultaneously. Enies Lobby finished only a dozen minutes before Water 7!"
"In such a short time, if it was just that man alone returning, it might be explained by the speed of his lightning ability, but..."
"It wasn't just him; even the four giants arrived at Water 7 from Enies Lobby in just a dozen minutes. There's no need for further verification!"
"The space-ability user who appeared in Gourmet Town Pukey is among that group, and furthermore, the Marines last witnessed a lightning dragon sinking Enies Lobby... Although the color characteristics are different, still..."
"That man... Traveler Rolin and his companions are undoubtedly the masterminds behind both attacks on our Holy Land Mary Geoise!"
The World Government's highest authorities, the Five Elders, analyzed the situation one after another, reaching this astonishing conclusion.
"So the culprit has been active right under our noses all along... He deserves to die!"
The next day, at dawn.
A new wanted poster was issued, shocking the entire world.
Air Force Pirates Captain Traveler Rolin, bounty three billion Berries!!!
