After a period of chaos and confusion...

"Then, according to plan, infiltrate."

Nami clapped her fist and said confidently.

Behind them, Luffy and Usopp, each with a bump on their head, responded, "Yes..."

"Rayleigh said the ship is right here, the exact location is..."

Nami thought for a moment and said, "After entering, turn left, then right, then right, then left, then left again, then straight ahead until you reach a three-way intersection. Go straight, then right, then straight ahead and then left. That's where the boat is stored. Let's sneak in while there aren't many people around, grab the boat, and leave. Got it?"

She turned her head and asked.

As a result, many of them looked like they had lost their minds.

Only Robin nodded and said, "That is indeed the route."

“How can I possibly remember all of these?” Usopp exclaimed.

"Alright! Let's go then!"

Luffy rolled up his sleeves and shouted.

"Did you remember that, Luffy?" Zoro asked in surprise.

"What?" Luffy tilted his head.

"The road!"

"Forget about that stuff, just follow your instincts. Sunny, here we come!"

Luffy laughed a few times and led the charge forward.

"I knew it..."

Nami sighed and rubbed her forehead, watching Luffy run at lightning speed to the open door. She called out, "Hey, Luffy, wait for us!"

A group of people were about to run into the camp.

"Straw Hat Boy!!!"

Just then, a sound came from behind.

The group turned around and saw a determined-looking navy officer leading a group of men charging towards them.

"How dare you come to the naval base? Are you trying to provoke the Navy?!"

The leading naval officer, wielding a rocket launcher with a trigger, ran while aiming the cannon at them.

"[Big Gun] Wilbur!" Robin exclaimed, "Be careful, this guy..."

"Don't worry, Miss Robin, let me handle this!"

Sanji smiled confidently, bent his knees, and jumped up.

boom!

A cannonball was fired from the cannon barrel, and just as Sanji was about to kick it away, he heard the man holding the cannon barrel shout.

"Double! Ten times!"

The cannonball suddenly grew to a size several times larger than Sanji himself, and hurtled towards him, only to be kicked away by Sanji.

boom!!!

Upon impact, the shell emitted a burst of light.

The violent explosion sent the Straw Hat crew flying, kicking up a cloud of dust.

When the smoke cleared and Wilbur and his men arrived, there was no one left.

"Damn it!" Wilbur shouted angrily.

"Colonel, what should we do?"

"A navy officer asked."

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared from behind.

"Wilbur!"

Kuro, now in his beast-human form, appeared beside him, crouching down, his nostrils flaring, and exclaimed in disbelief, "The pirates actually went in?!"

"Colonel Kuro...yes, I have no face to face Mr. Kuro."

Wilbur gritted his teeth and said, "Disgrace! To actually let pirates into the Marine base, I have truly betrayed Mr. Kuro's trust in me!"

"But we must catch the pirates. Once we catch them, I will apologize to Mr. Kuro! Now, sound the alarm and notify the entire island's marines that the Straw Hat crew has entered the marine base!"

"yes!"

Ring ring ring ring—

The piercing alarm blared loudly throughout the base.

Upon hearing this sound, the remaining navy personnel in the base and the nearby navy all sprang into action.

The Den Den Mushi kept ringing.

"The naval base has been breached by the Straw Hat Pirates! Return to defend it immediately!"

"The Marine base has been invaded by the Straw Hat Pirates. We request reinforcements!"

"Notify Marineford to send out warships and make sure to blockade all the sea outlets!"

Amidst the shouts and piercing alarms from the marines, Kuro licked his lips. "Don't worry, they can't escape. Once they're in this base, getting out won't be so easy. Leave Straw Hat to me, you guys go and catch the others!"

As he spoke, he rushed into the gate and, following the scent of blood, ran straight in one direction.

Inside the garrison.

"Where am I? Hey, Nami! Robin! Luffy!"

Sanji wandered alone in the dark corridor.

The shell that hit them earlier, by sheer coincidence, blew them all away, but they also got scattered.

At least Sanji didn't find anyone.

"Ah... really, they've all fallen apart."

Sanji lit a cigarette, a vein bulging on his forehead. "That guy, can the cannonballs get bigger? This island's power is much stronger than before."

Sentomaru, Kuro, Wilbur.

I've already encountered three.

In addition, there's Lida, whom Rayleigh described as being stronger than all of them, and Vice Admiral Jinni, who rules the island.

"This is such a hassle."

Sanji shook his head. "Anyway, let's search around first, the aura... hmm?"

He twitched his nose and looked in one direction.

"It smells so good..."

He walked toward that place and stopped in front of a gate.

"It's the smell coming from here."

Sanji pushed open the door and saw a large kitchen. The kitchen was empty, but he could hear some 'sizzling' sounds.

Sanji turned his gaze and saw a figure wearing a navy cloak with long, flowing hair behind his head busy at the kitchen counter.
