The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

Shanks led his daughter and the fleet to patrol their own territory, intimidating some villains and eliminating the threat of the Red Hair Pirates.

Uta bought the latest newspaper. When the girl saw that Luffy and his crew suffered heavy losses in the Kingdom of Alabasta, although every member survived, each of them had lost half their life.

The newspaper did not explain in detail why Crocodile let the Straw Hat Pirates go. There must be some trick involved. The murderous Baroque Studio was not so kind in the first half of the Grand Line. They were synonymous with trapping and killing rookie pirates.

"The newspaper said that Luffy and the others were seriously injured. I want to go see him," Uta handed the newspaper to his adoptive father. Shanks took it and read it carefully.

Shanks' brows began to wrinkle, because the newspaper not only contained news about Luffy, but also the bad news that the great demon Naraku had appeared and had directly defeated the Whitebeard Pirates' expedition team.

There's even worse news. Blackbeard Teach is not dead yet, and he has captured the Pirate King's son Ace. This rebellious son of the Whitebeard Pirates is involved with the suddenly appearing Naraku.

The first half of the Grand Line is expected to be a bloody one, and will not be much safer than the second half. It is the Celestial Dragons who will have a headache at this time.

There are many member states in the first half, and the gold from the sky cannot be collected or is intercepted in the middle. Those pampered Tianlong people will never allow their quality of life to deteriorate.

By then, it is very likely that the navy will be urged to start a war with the emerging forces led by Narrative Tactic. As for the outcome of the war, no one can guess. The situation at sea is changing more and more rapidly, making it difficult for people to keep up with the progress of the times.

"Uta, I think you don't have to worry too much about Luffy. He was able to escape from Crocodile's hands unscathed. I guess that guy on the sky put in a lot of effort." Shanks pointed at the clown in the sky. He guessed that it was his good friend who did it. He used his power to pressure others, otherwise Baroque Studios would not let him go.

Shanks does not recommend his daughter to leave him now. The Song-Song Fruit has been completely exposed by Sky, which may attract competition from ambitious people. It is safest for her to stay with her father, the Four Emperors.

Moreover, Shanks was very uncomfortable with Im, who was fighting against Buggy in the sky. He actually felt that there was a higher decision-making level above the Five Elders. Although the five old men in the open controlled the actual power, their operation level was really not satisfactory.

Im, who had not shown his face for hundreds of years, was completely exposed by the Sky Curtain. Shanks admired Buggy's courage in the Sky Curtain very much. He dared to face the existence of the God of Celestial Dragons without changing his expression, which was really admirable.

Even the red-haired man, who had very good control over his emotional expression, couldn't help but change color when he saw Im sitting on the void throne. As a descendant of the twenty kings, he knew what that position meant.

Shanks felt that there was someone behind the Five Elders, and it was through Saint Figarand Galen. The other party had hinted to him openly and secretly. Now it seems that Saint Figarand Galen must also know about the existence of Im.

He may even be like the Five Elder Stars, the commander of the Knights of God, or to put it bluntly, he is also a puppet of the God of Celestial Dragons, and a means for the God of Celestial Dragons to control other Celestial Dragons internally.

"The sea is really getting hotter and hotter. Now we know everything we should and shouldn't know. All we can do now is wait and see what happens." Shanks touched Uta's hair with a loving look on his face. Since the relationship between father and daughter reconciled, as a father he cherishes the time with his daughter very much.

With a soft spot beside him, Shanks' ambition to dominate began to fade away. He felt that it was not the right time yet. He, like Buggy, was waiting for Luffy to grow up.

However, he always felt that Buggy had some impure motives in helping the Straw Hat Pirates. Buggy was no longer the clown he used to be. He had become very unfamiliar to Shanks. If the other party really wanted to do something against the law, Red Hair would not be surprised at all.

On Onigashima, Kaido is listening to Doflamingo's report about the inside story of Im. As a taken-in subordinate, Tenyasha has completely given up his identity as a Celestial Dragon and told all the information he had collected to the captain.

"The Operation Fruit is really a magical thing. The immortality surgery sounds very tempting, but I think there must be side effects," Kaido came to his own conclusion after listening to the report from his subordinates.

Im was covered in a layer of black cloth, with only two red eyes showing. He looked so shameful that it was hard not to think of the side effects of the immortality surgery.

Doflamingo wanted his younger brother to eat the Operation Fruit, but unfortunately his younger brother was a spy for the navy, and the fruit was eaten by the traitor Law. Now no one knows where in the sea he is hiding, so it is not easy to find the Heart Pirates.

The God of Celestial Dragons - Im, the God of Ninja - Uchiha Madara, the God of the Sun - Joyboy, the Demigod - Hearth Sheep Admiral Ornn, these nicknames of the gods that appeared in the sky are still fresh in Kaido's memory.

However, he will be fortunate enough to become one of them in the future. The Sun God Kaido sounds much better than Joyboy. Although the power of God is just an adjective, it sounds honorable and intimidating, which makes the boss very happy.

The Whitebeard Pirates are facing a lot of troubles right now. The son of their good brother Oden is going to marry an old woman, their most beloved godson Ace has become a prisoner of the navy, and they have inexplicably gained a biological son. These three things combined almost made Edward Newgate sick.

After calling back most of his godsons, Whitebeard received an IV drip on his Moby Dick, and tried to reduce his drinking as much as possible in order to conserve his energy before the battle, so that he could go to Cake Island to bring back Momonosuke Kozuki.

"Dad, is this Weevil really yours? The beard really looks like yours when you were young," Diamond Joz said without hesitation in front of his father, but he also took the initiative to ask his father at the instigation of his other sons.

Edward Newgate couldn't help but roll his eyes and looked at Diamond Joz as if he were an idiot. He had clearly told his sons on the ship that Edward Weeble had nothing to do with him.

Edward Newgate absolutely did not acknowledge the information about Whitebeard II on the sky. If he really had family and descendants, he might not have longed for family affection so much and gathered a bunch of godsons around him to form a big family of love and affection without blood ties.

Marco and Vista had called a few hours ago to prove that they were only injured and not arrested. The true strength of the great demon Naraku was even more terrifying than what Tianmu showed.

The two of them joined forces but couldn't even break Naraku's barrier. They were completely suppressed unilaterally. If it weren't for the help of the female greatsword, Ace's two good brothers would have to stay in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Whitebeard did not blame his two sons for this matter. Facing an unbeatable opponent, even if the father tried to force it, he could not change the established fact.

Whitebeard comforted his two sons to hide and recuperate. The Admiral of the Navy would not act rashly against Ace because of the news about Im, so his life should not be in danger for the time being.

The Whitebeard Pirates don't have the manpower to fight on two fronts, so they can only let Ace suffer in prison. Edward Newgate goes to Cake Island.
