Then he opened the Anywhere Door and returned to Wano Country.

After Luo Xing left.

Nojiko, who had not slept all night, finally walked into Nami's room.

The two sisters stared at each other with panda eyes.

Nami chuckled:

"Nojiko, were you unable to sleep all night?"

Nojiko spat:

"How could I sleep with your voice so loud?"

Nami blushed slightly: "I didn't mean to..."

Then she stretched out her arms, speaking with a hint of coquettishness:

"Since neither of us slept well, let's continue sleeping together!"

Nojiko was tempted; she was indeed very sleepy.

The two sisters embraced and fell asleep.

A while later.

Nami suddenly whispered in Nojiko's ear:

"Next time, sister, come with me!"

"What?"

Nojiko froze, then immediately realized what Nami meant.

Her face turned red with shame; she spat angrily:

"Get lost! What nonsense are you spouting! You shameless girl!"

148. The Mandatory Summons of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Luo Xing's Call to the Empress (Requesting Subscriptions)

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

After setting the execution date for Fire Fist Ace, Fleet Admiral Sengoku immediately issued a mandatory summons.

The targets of this summons were none other than the unruly Seven Warlords of the Sea!

The Seven Warlords of the Sea, known as the third great power alongside the Marines and the Four Emperors.

Although there were only seven of them, each possessed extremely formidable strength.

Facing the impending Summit War against the Whitebeard Pirates,

while Sengoku gathered one hundred thousand Marines, he certainly did not forget the powerful combat force of the Seven Warlords.

The current Seven Warlords, having removed the deceased Doflamingo and Crocodile, were supplemented by Whitebeard II Edward Weevil and Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach.

Speaking of these two, one claimed to be Whitebeard's son, the other was once Whitebeard's son; both were connected to Whitebeard, which was indeed strange.

After the mandatory summons was issued, the first to respond was Bartholomew Kuma.

After all, Kuma had long been stationed at Marine Headquarters or in Vegapunk's laboratory.

As a Revolutionary Army officer, he did not know why he had to be manipulated by the World Government.

But Kuma was not a complete puppet; he still had his own ideas.

At this moment,

having accepted the Marine summons, he held a newspaper in his hand.

The newspaper reported news concerning the Straw Hat Luffy crew.

It stated that Straw Hat Luffy had caused a great disturbance at Enies Lobby and was about to land on the Sabaody Archipelago.

The government's bounty on Straw Hat Luffy had suddenly increased to three hundred million Berries!

In the first half of the Grand Line, this was already an extraordinary bounty amount.

If the Marines were not currently going all out to prepare for war against the Whitebeard Pirates, they might have made a great effort to capture Straw Hat Luffy.

Kuma looked at Luffy's photo in the newspaper and murmured to himself:

"Dragon, this is your son, isn't it?"

"Rest assured, if the Marines truly make any move against him, I will protect him."

"This is the last thing I can do as a member of the Revolutionary Army."

Thriller Bark.

According to Luo Xing's instructions, Moria also accepted the Marine summons.

The demon Oars, standing two hundred meters tall, loomed behind him like a demon god.

Moria looked back, his bat-like eyes revealing a glimmer of greed and boundless ambition.

"The Summit War against the Whitebeard Pirates, hailed as a war destined to change the era? No, this is merely the prologue to the great war that my lord Luo Xing intends to launch!"

"The new era will exceed your imagination, you scoundrels of the Marines and the World Government!"

Fish-Man Island.

A Marine Vice Admiral personally delivered the summons into the hands of the Knight of the Sea, Jinbe.

But the Knight of the Sea, Jinbe, did not even look at it and refused outright.

"Father has done me a great kindness; I will absolutely never make an enemy of Father!"

"Not only that, Ace is also my friend; I will rescue Ace!"

That Vice Admiral flew into a rage and said:

"Knight of the Sea Jinbe, Fleet Admiral Sengoku instructed me before I came: if you refuse to obey the summons, your title as a Warlord of the Sea will be immediately stripped, you will be arrested, and thrown into Impel Down!"

"At the same time, your hometown, Fish-Man Island, will also be implicated!"

Jinbe declared with solemn fearlessness:

"This is my own decision; it has nothing to do with Fish-Man Island. If you wish to arrest, then arrest this old man!"

As he spoke, Jinbe extended both hands, showing no intention of offering any resistance.

There was no choice,

for if he resisted, the living conditions of Fish-Man Island in the future would surely become even more difficult.

Fish-Man Island is the necessary passage from the first half to the second half of the Grand Line.

Too many pirates have burned, killed, and plundered on Fish-Man Island.

The Celestial Dragons, the world nobles, also enjoy capturing Fish-Men and Merfolk as slaves.

Currently, Fish-Man Island flies the flag of Bai Huzi and is protected by the Bai Huzi Pirates.

Moreover, since Jinbe is one of the Seven Warlords, both pirates and the World Government have Gu Ji, so the situation on Fish-Man Island has improved considerably in recent years.

But such a situation will soon be gone forever.

Bai Huzi is about to launch a full-scale war against the Navy, and Jinbe, caught in the middle, has been stripped of his Seven Warlords title.

In the future, Fish-Man Island will definitely plunge into an extremely dark moment.

Jinbe is very worried about this, but he has no other way.

If he forcibly resists the Navy's arrest, the situation will only become worse.

Amidst extreme worry and unease, the Sea Knight Jinbe was thrown into the underwater Great Prison, Impel Down.

……

The New World.

An island dense with jungles and full of baboons.

A group of Navy soldiers was advancing with difficulty.

The leader was also a Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral, yet his expression was very grim.

It was not for any other reason, but precisely because of the baboons on the island.

These baboons were all wielding knives and swords, and every single one possessed swordsmanship that was far from ordinary.

It is said that among the Seven Warlords, Hawk Eyes Jorakoer Mihawk is the only lone wolf with no faction.

But the fact is not like that; aren't these difficult baboons Hawk Eyes' helpers?

Without even needing to think, one can guess that the swordsmanship of these baboons was surely taught by Hawk Eyes.

Under the leadership of the Headquarters Vice Admiral, the Navy resisted the baboons' attacks stubbornly; several were injured before they finally reached Hawk Eyes' palace.

That Vice Admiral was just about to use a megaphone to call Hawk Eyes out.

But Hawk Eyes, as if he had prepared long ago, had already walked out with the black blade Yoru on his back.
