"Eh? No, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know yourself, right, Kuina!"
"Mmm, I'm not participating!"
The girls' playful voices ca, attracting Hina's attention.
The next second,
Hina's beautiful eyes narrowed sharply because she saw Roland following behind the girls.
The Loguetown incident had long spread among the Marines, after all, it was the first ti the troublemaker Smoker had been defeated.
As Smoker's close friend from the sa period, Hina knew more than others.
So, the mont she saw Roland, she knew he was the man Smoker spoke of who had awakened Haki of the Supre King.
"That's it! If it's this man, then it makes sense! He might truly have the strength to defeat Crocodile!"
A major doubt in Hina's mind suddenly cleared up.
However, now was not the ti to strike up a conversation.
After nodding to Roland, Hina strode away.
"Yo, Captain, do you know that pretty Marine lady?"
Nami teased.
"No, I don't. First ti seeing her!"
Roland said casually.
"Oh my, oh my, Captain, you really are a sinful man, aren't you? Another girl has fallen for you at first sight!"
Nami shook her head helplessly.
"Nami, don't talk nonsense! How could Mr. Roland be a sinful man!"
Vivi glared with wide eyes, genuinely angry.
"Alright, alright, it was just a joke. Vivi, it's fine if you don't get it~"
Nami giggled.
"Lord Robin."
King Cobra called out to Roland.
"Regarding the public execution of Crocodile that we discussed last night, it might change. The World Governnt will not allow such a thing to happen. My idea is..."
Cobra inford Roland of his thoughts.
After all, Roland was the great hero who captured Crocodile.
The decision to publicly execute Crocodile last night was also a result of discussions with Roland after drinking.
Now that it needed to be changed, Roland's opinion naturally needed to be sought.
"Hmm, this is a state affair of Alabasta. You can decide yourselves, but... if you can exchange one person for enormous benefits, I think this deal is very worthwhile!"
Roland said.
"Yes! Thank you very much!"
King Cobra understood Roland's aning and imdiately thanked him excitedly.
On the other side,
Hina, who had left the palace and returned to the royal capital's hotel, imdiately contacted Vice Admiral Tsuru.
"Sister Tsuru..."
Hina recounted everything she had seen and heard since arriving in Alabasta in great detail, especially her recent encounter with Roland at the palace.
"So that's it. I understand. I'll arrive in three days. Before then, you don't need to do anything, just observe!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru said.
"I understand!"
On this side, the Den Den Mushi hung up.
On the other side, the Den Den Mushi in the Fleet Admiral's office at Marine Headquarters rang.
"Tsuru, how is Alabasta?"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku asked, not without tension.
"The one who defeated Crocodile is that man nad Roland!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru's first words were a bombshell.
"What? Roland? The man Smoker reported who awakened an incredible Haki of the Supre King?"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's eyes suddenly widened.
"Yes! Tina saw that man in the Alubarna Palace this morning. Princess Vivi's friend should be referring to him!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru imdiately inford him of the detailed situation.
"I understand. I'll contact you later!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku, after hanging up the Den Den Mushi, imdiately dialed the Den Den Mushi for the Holy Land.
...
...
At the center of the world, Holy Land Mary Geoise.
After two successive bombings, the originally magnificent and tidy Holy Land was in a sorry state.
Because of this, the World Nobles and high-ranking Governnt officials residing there were seething with inner rage.
However, they had no one to vent their anger on, as they couldn't catch the attackers and had no clues whatsoever.
At this mont.
The Five Elders' temporary great hall.
"East Blue? A newcor capable of defeating a Shichibukai has appeared in that weakest of seas?"
Saturn Gorosei Saturn's face was full of disbelief and incredulity.
"Although it's the weakest of seas, the East Blue has also produced extraordinary beings, such as Pirate King Roger, and the Navy's current Hero Garp, both of whom originated from the East Blue!"
Mars God of Finance Gorosei Saint Nasujuro said.
"An awakened user of top-tier Haki of the Supre King, a newly promoted overlord, indeed has the potential to defeat Crocodile!"
Jupiter Gorosei Pete said.
"Now is not the ti to discuss these things. The top priority is the Shichibukai situation. We must quickly appoint Crocodile's successor. A thousand-mile dike can collapse from an ant hole. Once the balance of the three great powers collapses, it will inevitably bring a direct and huge impact to the world!"
Saint Marcus Mars's expression was solemn.
"Given the current situation, having the man who defeated Crocodile take over as Shichibukai should be the optimal solution!"
rcury Gorosei Warcury offered his suggestion.
Upon hearing this.
All the Five Elders nodded in unison.
"However, what if this man doesn't know what's good for him and rejects our invitation, like Ace did two years ago?"
Saint Marcus Mars asked.
"Hmph, hmph, then we'll let him know who the true master of this sea is!"
Mars God of Finance Gorosei Saint Nasujuro sneered repeatedly.
...
...
Three days later, in the early morning.
Several warships entered the Saint Ting Island waters.
Vice Admiral Tsuru and World Governnt CP7.
Both parties landed in Alabasta one after another.
