The Buster Call incident at Fish-Man Island quickly spread throughout the entire sea.
At the sa ti, the matter of the Marine and World Governnt beginning to encircle and suppress Whitebeard also beca widely known.
The World Governnt had no intention of hiding it. They marched in grand fashion straight toward the New World and the North Blue.
Anyone who dared to obstruct would be crushed.
But just when everyone thought that Whitebeard would shrink back and wait for the storm to pass... Sothing happened that no one expected.
Whitebeard appeared publicly in the Elbaph and boldly declared that he was in the New World. If the World Governnt wasn't afraid of death, they could co find trouble with him.
This move undoubtedly caused a sensation across the seas.
King of the Seas V/S King of the World
Even though Whitebeard was terrifyingly strong and was said to be the number one man in the seas. In everyone's eyes, it was still like an egg striking a rock.
This was the World Governnt after all. The World Governnt that had ruled the world for 800 years.
And Whitebeard's move undoubtedly enraged the World Governnt completely.
This operation was led by Saint Nusjuro, accompanied by two other Five Elders aboard the fleet, with half of the God's Knights and CP0 in attendance, and half of the Marine's top combat force assisting.
Just this grand force alone left the pirates of the New World dumbfounded.
Only when the World Governnt truly exerted its power did they realize how deep its foundations went.
It wasn't that no powerful individuals dared to challenge the fleet, but no matter the level of the expert, once they entered the fleet's range, they would imdiately disappear without a trace, without exception.
As a result, the pirates of the New World all chose to behave themselves on the spot.
Even the most vicious and evil pirates didn't dare act out at this ti, afraid of drawing the attention of the World Governnt.
If they did draw attention, they truly might be wiped out in an instant.

"Master, the fleet has already passed Egghead Island."
Today, Moa was slightly nervous, her body trembling ever so slightly, as if she were hiding sothing.
Rosse didn't even need to lift his head to know what Moa was hiding.
'The assault on the Holy Land is likely happening today.'
"Egghead, huh... Not far from the Elbaph either," Rosse chuckled softly, completely showing a spectator's expression.
His acting skills were much better than Moa's. At the very least, Moa still believed that Rosse had been kept in the dark and hadn't noticed her abnormality.
And the recent smooth sailing had lowered Moa's guard quite a bit.
It even made her feel that the World Governnt and Rosse weren't all that impressive.
At the very least, no one had discovered that she'd been passing ssages from Marine Headquarters.
What she didn't know was that, if not for Rosse stopping him, Sakazuki would've already killed her.
Although everyone in Marine Headquarters tacitly agreed not to use Observation Haki, Sakazuki didn't care about such things.
To root out unstable factors within Marine Headquarters, ever since Kong and the others left, he had kept his Observation Haki active almost constantly, naturally he would notice Moa's movents.
Only Rosse's lounge and office were off-limits to Sakazuki.
Of course, even if he tried to peek, with Rosse's ability forming a barrier, Sakazuki wouldn't see anything.
"Yes, that place is deep in the New World. They say Roger's treasure, Laugh Tale, is over there?", Moa nodded vigorously, still very nervous.
Today was the day the plan would be set into motion.
She hadn't originally wanted to know about this, but soone over there had deliberately inford her.
If she didn't know, she wouldn't have had any problems.
But because she did know, it made her fear she might slip up and let Rosse notice sothing.
Fortunately, Rosse didn't seem to care about her emotional state, which put her at ease.
In her heart, Moa slowly let out a breath.
She thought this was normal too, Rosse never cared about her feelings and always did as he pleased.
No matter how she scread last ti, he still shoved it into her a** in the end, 'Ahhh! So humiliating.'
Just thinking about what happened before made Moa feel restless.
"Laugh Tale, huh?", Rosse curled his lips, "According to records, it's over there. But even the World Governnt doesn't have an Eternal Pose, its coordinates are hidden in the Poneglyphs."
"The World Governnt never considered looking for it?", Moa asked curiously.
"Why would they look for it? The remnants of a loser, what's the point in searching for that?", Rosse chuckled lightly in return.
That was pretty much the World Governnt's ntality.
On the one hand, they looked down on the losers of the past; on the other hand, they were afraid those very losers might rise again.
"Losers, huh...", Moa pondered. She knew a bit about what had happened back then.
If it were a normal day, she'd definitely want to know more.
But today, with such a special situation, she didn't have the mind to think about it.

Red Line, several thousand ters high in the sky, a massive island was floating forward.
"Shiki, why aren't we there yet? You okay or what?", Rayleigh's teasing voice sounded. He was still dressed casually, but his entire being radiated sharp sword intent from head to toe, like a sword ready to be unsheathed.
"Damn Rayleigh, looks like I didn't make you suffer enough back then," Golden Lion Shiki cursed and glared fiercely at Rayleigh.
Shiki was a middle-aged man with a head full of golden hair, even his beard was golden. A ship's rudder was embedded in his head, and his legs had been replaced with twin blades.
He looked like a crippled old man, but no one dared to underestimate this man who resembled a golden lion.
He was the Golden Lion Shiki, one of the legends of the seas.
He had once even pushed Roger to the brink. If not for a natural disaster back then, Roger's entire pirate crew might've been cut down by him.
"Hahaha, old lion, we weren't the ones who lost back then. If you say that, I'm not gonna be happy," Next to Rayleigh, a burly man with long black hair and twin axes at his waist laughed jokingly.
He was Gaban. If Rayleigh was Roger's right arm, then he was Roger's left arm. One of the strongest mbers of the Roger Pirates at that ti.
"Hmph, just lucky," Shiki sneered.
Although they were cooperating this ti, back in the day, none of them accepted one another.
"When this is over, how about we have a fight?"
On the other side, a golden-haired man in black clothes grinned as he sat.
He was Bullet, a new-generation powerhouse who joined Roger's ship later and was known as a monster within the Roger Pirates.
He was only 24 now, yet already a powerhouse no weaker than Rayleigh.
"Youngster, beat Rayleigh first before you co talk to about a challenge," Shiki didn't even glance at Bullet. Pirates didn't care about age, only about strength.
If you couldn't even get past Rayleigh, you didn't deserve to be compared to him.
Ten years ago, when he was at his peak, even Rayleigh and Gaban teaming up couldn't defeat him.
Now, after that war and with the rudder in his head preventing him from using Advanced Armant Haki, otherwise he could send Bullet to et the King of Hell with just a few swings.
"We're here. Get ready, it's starting!", Shiki suddenly said in a deep voice.
At this mont, they had arrived above the Holy Land.
