On the Grand Line, a ship that had been moored on the sea was in a state of disrepair.

At Luffy's feet lay Sebastian, a half-scorpionfish and half-giant hybrid, the fish-giant now covered in wounds.

Luffy wasn't in much better shape either; he was covered in wounds and panting for breath.

Defeating this fish giant took a lot of his strength.

He stood there, pulled his hands to his waist, then suddenly stretched them upwards, shouting, "Where is Wald! I will defeat him!!"

At this moment, Luo, holding a knife in one hand and dragging Guyram, whose hair was tied in a square topknot, walked over from the other end.

"The Straw Hat Master hasn't found that Bondi Wald. Perhaps we've been tricked."

Luo didn't have to put much effort into dealing with Guy Ram.

He is a user of the 'Cube-Cube Fruit', which allows him to turn anything he touches into cubes and manipulate them at will. However, this ability is useless against Law, who can use the 'Slaughterhouse'.

"I don't have any here either."

On the second floor above the cabin, Hancock appeared wearing a purple cheongsam, with Sandersonia and Marigold beside her, who had already been rescued.

Hancock is dealing with Neyjen, a woman skilled in 'Chinese herbal boxing' who uses a potion to make herself ruthless and resistant to Hancock's charm.

However, Hancock's abilities do not require others to be tempted to use them.

As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and described by Sengoku as a woman of terrifying strength, dealing with such an existence would naturally be a piece of cake.

She bit her thumb, her expression serious yet alluring, and said, "I haven't found that Bondi Wald; he's not here."

"Hmph hmph hmph..."

Sebastian, who was standing beneath Luffy's feet, suddenly looked up and let out a cold laugh.

"You have failed."

Sebastian smiled. "Captain Wald has already gone to Sabaody. He will succeed. We... we will succeed!"

"Sabaody?"

Luffy said, "He's in Sabaody Archipelago, right? Okay, then I'll go to Sabaody Archipelago and defeat him!"

As he spoke, he excitedly prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, Straw Hat Master."

Luo advised against it, saying, "You can't go to Chambord!"

"Huh? Why?" Luffy tilted his head and looked at Law.

“Sabaody… Anyway, the matter is resolved now, shouldn’t we go back? Don’t you think so, Boa Hancock?” Law’s eyes darted around as he looked at Hancock.

Sabaody...

Luffy can't go to that place right now.

There's a gatekeeper there who's comparable to Cerberus, so if Luffy goes there now, he'll never come back.

Hancock pondered for a moment and said, "Luffy, my sister has already been rescued, there's no need for you to go. Didn't you promise Rayleigh that you would go back after rescuing my sister?"

"But that bastard Wald still kidnapped your sister! They're such good people, they even brought me food. No matter what, I'm going to ask Wald why he kidnapped you." Luffy said righteously.

"No need, we don't hate them."

Sandasonia and Marigold both shook their heads.

Bondi Wald was troublesome enough, not to mention there's something even more troublesome in Chambord now.

Let that navy guy and that pirate fight like dogs.

...

On the shores of Sabaody Archipelago, Kuro floated in the air, the red glow in his eyes representing his Observation Haki.

With his range, he could detect the immense life force emanating from the silhouette of the ship on the sea.

Combined with the huge, high-speed projectile from earlier, Kuro was certain that the guy was Bondi Wald.

Ordinary people's cannonballs cannot be that big and fast.

Even that old guy Garp always carries a big iron ball, not a cannonball.

Moreover, his speed surprised him.

That's too fast!

"Kuro, what is that... such a powerful aura." Lida looked somewhat solemn from below.

She had also activated her Observation Haki, so she was able to respond to that extremely strong aura.

"The troublesome guy is here!"

Kuro gritted his teeth and said, "Go and inform the others to take refuge in the vicinity. The Navy, assemble! Also, send a telegram to Hancock and ask her what's going on and why she sent Wald here!"

That's not right!

Something's not right!

Logically speaking, Wald should have been taken care of by that straw hat kid!

Isn't this his movie?!

It's a theatrical version, bro!

This concept is equivalent to the idea that even if all four Emperors were to appear, as long as it's within the framework of a theatrical version, that Pirate King is the true Pirate King, capable of defeating the four Emperors and even shaking up the Navy in the process.

How did Wald end up here?!

On the sea, the massive ship 'Gurosyadi' slowly advanced.

The entire ship was covered in vegetation, with numerous buildings nestled within it. At the bow was a massive ship's emblem, resembling a helmet and shield, with a hole in the center revealing a huge cannon barrel. From that firing position, Bondi Wald stood watching the tsunami waves gradually receding ahead.

"Tch, it's been defended against?"

"Wald, stop."

Bingjack, perched on his shoulder, said in a trembling voice, "The garrison at Sabaody is that Lucilfer Kuro. Your shells must have been blocked by him."

"Lucil Kuro?"

Wald glanced sideways at them and said in a deep voice, "Who is that?"
