The Seven Warlords of the Sea had actually come!
The Marines were all flushed with excitement! Although it sounded nice in name—the Seven Warlords were supposedly armed organizations under Marine Headquarters' jurisdiction.
But in reality, any Marine with half a brain knew that these great pirates were the type who'd follow orders but not proclamations! Even if it was a World Government deployment, if they were in a bad mood, they'd completely ignore it.
However, the pirates who could become Seven Warlords weren't fools either.
Defeating Whitebeard!
The Fourth Admiral of Marine Headquarters!!
The Marines' reputation on the seas had reached unprecedented heights!!!
Moreover, Mitarashi Kai had just become a Marine Admiral—this was precisely the time to establish his authority. None of them wanted to walk straight into the line of fire.
...
Marine External Conference Room!
All Seven Warlords were seated!
Doflamingo, draped in his pink feather coat, had both feet propped up on the table, his body casually leaning back in his chair as he laughed with that distinctive voice: "Fufufufufufu... How rare indeed, all seven of us gathered here. The last time was when the Seven Warlords were first established, wasn't it!"
As he spoke, Doflamingo flicked his finger slightly, using his String-String Fruit ability to manipulate a piece of cake from the table into his mouth, then began chewing loudly.
After a moment, Doflamingo finally spoke: "Regarding this so-called World Government summons, and the Marines' fourth Admiral, doesn't anyone want to say something?"
Actually, they all knew perfectly well—a World Government summons? Impossible! Recently on the seas, the World Government hadn't made any major moves. And since the summons came from the Marines, it was obviously connected to this fourth Marine Admiral.
"Hmph... Kai-kun's summons—how could I not come!?" Hancock first gave Doflamingo a contemptuous glance, then spoke with an intoxicated expression.
The remaining few looked stunned. They had to understand that besides her title as "Pirate Empress," Hancock also held the title "Beautiful Tyrant," which showed her temperament.
And now she was acting like this—how could they not be astonished?
"Hehehe..."
Seeing Hancock's intoxicated expression, Doflamingo knew he wouldn't get anything useful from her, so he turned his gaze to Hawkeye and asked: "Mihawk, I didn't expect you'd be interested in this kind of summons! Fufufufufu..."
Seeing Doflamingo's exaggerated smile, Mihawk frowned and said flatly: "Just passing by." Hawkeye's response made Doflamingo's expression stiffen.
As for why Hawkeye came to Marine Headquarters, he himself wasn't entirely sure. It was just his swordsman's instinct telling him that he absolutely, absolutely couldn't miss this summons! As a swordsman, Hawkeye had never doubted his instincts, so he directly sailed his small boat to Marine Headquarters.
With two unsuccessful attempts at conversation, Doflamingo lost interest in talking and focused all his attention on the food on the table.
The entire conference room fell into an eerie silence.
This continued for nearly three hours.
Still no Marine of general rank or above had appeared, and this group of unruly great pirates seemed to be getting restless. The first to lose patience was "Desert King" Crocodile!
His golden hook suddenly swept backward, catching a Marine Petty Officer by the collar and pulling him directly in front of himself. Crocodile's cigar nearly touched the Marine's face.
Crocodile said with some irritation: "Where's that newly appointed Marine Admiral!? Tell him to get his ass out here!"
"Admiral White Dragon, he..." The Marine Petty Officer seemed at a loss.
Just then, a calm voice suddenly came through: "Crocodile, could you please lower your hook?"
With that voice, Kai stepped through the doorway.
Straight posture, wearing the Marine Admiral's justice cloak, a face sharp as if carved by a blade, neat short hair, and a faint smile on his face!
The person who came was indeed Kai!
Seeing Kai's appearance, Crocodile was first stunned, then made no effort to hide his anger, looking directly at Kai and saying harshly: "What if I don't want to!?"
As he spoke, Crocodile turned his golden hook, the sharp point aimed straight at the Marine Petty Officer's throat!
No mercy whatsoever!
Due to his limited perspective, Crocodile was the most shallow among the seven. Though his strength was at the bottom, he was also the most reckless!
In Crocodile's view, Kai was just a lucky brat. When he himself had entered the New World, he had challenged Whitebeard but unfortunately lost. This kid in front of him had definitely only won because Whitebeard was old!
Seeing Crocodile dare to make a move in front of him, a flash of anger crossed Kai's eyes! However, he made no movement, and patterns suddenly appeared in his eyes!
Crocodile's movement completely froze!
No matter how hard Crocodile tried, his golden hook couldn't advance even a millimeter!
His pupils dilated slightly as Crocodile slowly turned his gaze toward Kai, his eyes filled with fear and confusion!
The others, seeing Crocodile's attack suddenly stop, were initially puzzled, but after seeing him turn his gaze to Kai, they understood that Kai was behind it all. However, they hadn't seen any trace of Kai making a move, so what had happened to Crocodile!?
Only Hawkeye stared intently at Kai's eyes with his sharp gaze. Only he had noticed the pattern that briefly flashed in Kai's eyes!
Kai had already completely synchronized the Rinnegan's abilities with the power laws of the One Piece world, and what he used to restrain Crocodile's movements was one of the Rinnegan's abilities!
Attractive and Repulsive Force Control!!!
The strongest eyes from the Naruto world had finally manifested in the One Piece world!!!
