A man returned to the flower room, and Im stood in front of the throne with his hands behind his back.

Looking up to the sky, I saw light shining down from the gaps in the ceiling.

"That eye is not the third eye of the Three-Eyed Tribe."

He suddenly said to himself: "She shouldn't have had that eye on her forehead."

"The eye was put on later."

"By what means?...Experiment?"

"And those are not human eyes, what kind of creature are they?"

He shook his head.

"It's a pity that I couldn't see the back of her neck. If we could see if there were any family lines on the back of her neck, we would be able to determine whether she is from the Livingston family."

"But it doesn't matter..."

He slowly sat on the throne and closed his eyes.

After a long time, there was a heavy knock on the door.

Attila's voice came from outside the door:

"Lord Im, Bega Punk has arrived."

"Let him in."

"——"

"Kaka."

The door between the flowers opened, and a tall, thin figure wearing a white coat walked in.

"You still don't need to come to see me in your true form." Im half-raised his eyes and looked at the figure that was no different from a real person.

"Even in your own research base, you use your own artificial human to see me. I have to wonder if you are actually in the base."

"Haha, does it make any difference if I'm here or not?"

Vegapunk smiled and said:

"You need my skills, not my people."

"——A slippery way of saying it."

Im nodded slightly, "But I don't dislike your attitude."

"Vegapunk, I believe you will not be vague about technology."

"Did you bring the fruit ability shielding device?"

"You can start the installation at any time, Master Im."

Vegapunk bowed slightly to Im, "The device I am currently developing can turn the entire Pangu City into a forbidden zone for Devil Fruits."

"Very good." Im nodded, "Keep up the good work, and next time I hope you can turn the entire Mariejoia into a forbidden area for devil fruits."

"By the way, is this device easy to destroy?"

"If you were someone of your or Mr. Attila's level, it would be easy to destroy nature."

Vegapunk said jokingly: "But if it's an ordinary person, I'm afraid it won't be able to shake it."

"Hmm." Im nodded, "The principle of this device is different from the principle of ocean curse, right?"

"Of course." Vegapunk nodded, "I'm not used to handing over the initiative to others."

Both inside and outside the words were referring to Renesmee.

Although Vegapunk didn't know Renesmee's existence, he was sensitive to the anomalies in the sea.

After asking this, Im finally waved his hand with satisfaction.

"Okay, go ahead and install the device. Attila and the choir will assist you."

"OK."

After Vegapunk finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Oh, by the way, Vegapunk, I have something to ask you."

Im suddenly said.

"Speaking."

"I will give you two tubes of blood later..."

"Do you need me to make related artificial humans?"

"No, I just need you to compare the genetic similarity between the two."

"learn."

At the Navy Headquarters, the impact of Im's arrival has basically subsided, and the Warring States Period has begun to organize a cleanup of the scene.

Slowly everything returned to normal, but there was a faint enthusiasm among the crowd that ordinary people could not detect.

"Mary is slowly turning the navy into what she ideally looks like."

Qing Zhi looked at the dispersed crowd and sighed.

Then he turned to look around him.

"What do you two think about Mary's incident?"

"I still have to investigate for a while. It's too early to draw conclusions now."

Akainu said in a deep voice, turning around and leaving without hesitation.

He and Qing Pheasant were not the same people, and Qing Pheasant's ideas were in considerable conflict with his.

The key is that the two have never been able to sit down and communicate properly.

Aoki looked at Akainu, who was not sloppy, and had no intention of staying. He then looked at Kizaru: "What about you?"

"Old man? Hohohoho..."

Kizaru crossed his arms and said: "I have no interest in the position of marshal. The position of being at the forefront of the storm and with great pressure is not suitable for me. I am not willing to get involved in this matter."

"But if you really want to say it, I might support Mary."

"Why?"

Qing Pheasant raised his eyebrows.

"Why..." Kizaru narrowed his eyes, "Both you and Akainu have far fewer supporters than Mari."

"I'm just following the trend."

"Um?"

Qing Zhi frowned in confusion.

However, Kizaru had no intention of explaining to him. He just waved his hand and changed the topic.

"Having said that, if I say too much, the supporters behind Mary will probably be angry."

"Kuzan, for the sake of my many years as a colleague, I would like to remind you."

"What?"

Aoki watched Kizaru stop his smile and become serious, and he couldn't help but become solemn.

Kizaru rarely shows such an expression.

"Kuzan, you are a smart man, but sometimes you get lost."

"After all, the Navy is an agency under the World Government. If you really want to show your strength in the Navy, then relying solely on the support of Marshal Sengoku and others is not enough."

"The real decision-making power does not lie in the hands of the Warring States Marshal, nor in the hands of you and me."

"The navy is just a bargaining chip for others to use in games."

"What... do you mean?"

Qing Pheasant's pupils narrowed.

Kizaru sighed and said bluntly:

"If you want to obtain the position of marshal, you must have the support of people from the World Government and become a saber in the hands of certain people."

"Although Mary's ideas are much more violent than yours, she is also much stronger than you in terms of political tactics."

"There is already a senior member standing behind her, earlier than the two of you."

After saying that, Kizaru patted Aokiji on the shoulder and walked past him.

"If you really want to show off your baggage, then..."

"Put down your reserve as soon as possible. You have a good relationship with the Warring States Marshal. Use his connections to contact the higher-ups."

"I think Marshal of the Warring States Period has been waiting for you for a long time."

"..."

The figure of Kizaru gradually walked away, while Aokiji stood silently.

After a long time, he slowly clenched his fists.

"I understand everything you said..."

Qing Pheasant murmured, looking up at the clear sky.

The sunshine was extremely strong, but it could not dispel the dark clouds gathering in his heart.

"But let me personally tarnish the purity of the navy..."

"I can't do it."

"I am not a Marshal of the Warring States Period. After contacting the World Government, I am not sure that I can maintain the independent capability of the Navy."

"..."

Is Mary connected to the World Government?

If there was really a connection, how could she dare to say such words at such a juncture?

At the feet of Marie Gioia...

Aoki took a deep breath and walked towards Mary's dormitory.

He wanted to ask Mary exactly what she was thinking.

Where does she stand?

But at this time, there were three people sitting in Mary's dormitory.

"I guessed you were coming, but wouldn't it be a little bad to suddenly appear in a girl's room?"

Mary looked at the two people in front of her and said with a half-smile: "Before this, you two uninvited guests have never informed me."

"Don't I know how to contact you?" Saint Edwin chuckled, "Besides, in the situation just now, we must have rushed here as soon as possible."

"Hey, hey, little girl Vinicius, listen to me..."

Saint Magik had a gossipy expression on his face and said to Mary very excitedly:

"You don't know how nervous Edved Saint was when he saw Im appearing in the live broadcast just now."

"Haha, he bounced up almost instantly, and then told me in a panic..."

"Boom!"

Before he finished speaking, Saint Edweide hit Saint Magik's Heavenly Spirit Cover with an old fist.

Magik St., died.

Mary's mouth twitched as she looked at Saint Magik who was completely lying down and Saint Edved who was smiling.

"Well, you came here through Saint Magik's ability, right? This consumption should be quite large."

"Is it true that nothing will happen if you punch like this..."

“Don’t worry, don’t worry.”

Magik Saint raised his head, raised his hands and said, "I'm used to it."

As he spoke, a trail of blood flowed from his head.

"..."

"Although, I still suggest you go see a doctor?"

Mary looked at Saint Magik and didn't know how to complain.

"But speaking of it, Im's actions this time are really unexpected."

Edved Saint's serious tone brought the conversation back to normal: "This was broadcast live all over the world. It's impossible for Im not to know about this."

"Yet he still chose to show up in person..."

"You can see how powerful Im is from the reactions of others. Such a strong person who has never had relevant information before will definitely be taken seriously by others."

"And I'm afraid that Im's information will be dug out soon."

"The person in charge of the World Government is the Five Old Stars. This is caused by Yim's continuous hiding of himself for eight hundred years."

"Now that Im appears in front of everyone so unscrupulously, is this a sign?"

"Could it be that after hearing my speech, Im couldn't sit still and wanted to get rid of me?" Mary said half-jokingly.

"It's impossible. In the past eight hundred years, Im has seen very few people like you, and it's impossible not to have none at all. But Im's reaction has never been so violent before."

Saint Edwin shook his head: "Anyway, please restrain yourself these days. I have an ominous feeling."

"I will investigate the specific reasons. Don't act rashly until I get the results."

"Do you also have an ominous premonition?"

Mary's expression suddenly became condensed.

Saint Edved's face changed slightly.

After the two were silent for a long time, they both understood each other's meaning through eye contact.

"Maybe this feeling is not groundless."

"Hey, you two, although you two had a great conversation, I still have to say something."

Saint Magik, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly said:

"There is someone walking quickly towards here."

"who?"

Mary asked.

"General Qing Pheasant."

"Do you need the two of us to avoid it?"

Saint Edwin looked at Mary and asked.

"...Forget it." Mary shook her head, "Im's appearance has messed up my layout a bit, and some things have to be moved forward."

"Sooner or later I will let Aokiji know your existence. Now it's just a little earlier."

"good."

Upon hearing this, Saint Edweide said nothing more, just nodded and waited for the Qing Pheasant to arrive.

Magik Saint never made his own decisions, so he just stood up and adjusted his hair style a little.

"I said, do you really don't need to stop the bleeding?"

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Saint Magik smiled, "Besides, don't you think having your head covered in blood is more intimidating?"

"He's just an idiot, don't worry about it." Saint Edwin spread his hands and said helplessly.

"..."

Mary felt that the two people opposite her were indeed abnormal.

"Tap tap tap..."

The footsteps came from far away and stopped in front of Mary's room door.

"Enter."

Mary said calmly.

After the words fell, the door was pushed open, and a tall and thin figure appeared at the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he was stunned.

"this……"

Qing Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the three people in the room.

Saint Edved stood with his arms crossed, his calm smile filled with self-evident nobility.

Although Saint Magik's momentum was a bit sluggish, his wide eyes and blood gave people a crazy feeling.

"Come in and talk, General Qing Pheasant."

While Qing Zhi was dazed, Mary, who was sitting on the bed, waved to him.

"Let me introduce these two to you."

On the East China Sea, a warship flying a black flag was cutting through the waves.

"Why do we come to the East China Sea?"

Standing on the bow of the ship, Mihawk looked at the cloudy sky and asked in a deep voice.

"The golden lion is in the East China Sea."

Shanks said carelessly: "At that time, Ace, Beckman and the others all left with the Golden Lion. I heard that they also made a fuss in Shampoo, so they should still be traveling together."

"In this situation, the remaining pirates must be united."

"The Golden Lion's hometown is in the East China Sea, so we came here to find him."

"But it looks like it will be hard to find."

Shanks frowned and covered his eyes with his hands.

"The Golden Lion's hometown is floating in the sky, and it changes location from time to time. It's probably impossible to find it without searching all over the East China Sea."

"trouble."

Mihawk snorted coldly.

"Okay, okay, you don't have anything else to do anyway, right?"

Shanks patted Mihawk on the shoulder and said.

"Mr. Shanks."

At this time, the sound of He Yi Xian suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Shanks immediately looked back.

"What's wrong, He Yi Xian?"

"That's right, we just rescued a person from the sea."

He Yi Xian said simply.

"He said his name is Stuart, and he was sent by Doflamingo to support the East China Sea pirates."

"In the end, the entire army was wiped out under the attack of the lieutenant general. He was floating on the sea and relied on his physical fitness to survive until now."

"oh?"

Shanks became interested.

"Doflamingo's men? Interesting, take me to meet him."
