Marine Headquarters, Marineford Square
Jinbei, Moria, Doflamingo, and Crocodile stood in a neat line at the port, all looking ahead at Fleet Admiral Orion, who was walking briskly toward them in his admiral coat.
"What's going on?"
Moria glanced around and couldn't resist his curiosity, whispering.
"Jinbei? Do you know what's happening?"
"The war in the New World must have ended!"
Jinbei glanced at the young Fleet Admiral ahead and without changing his stance, replied in a hushed tone that would go unnoticed unless someone was paying close attention.
"The war in the New World?"
Moria's eyes lit up. "Kaido lost? Hehehehe, that's such delightful news!"
Hearing the laughter beside him, Crocodile frowned slightly.
As a former ambitious schemer, he really didn't want to stand shoulder to shoulder with Moria, whose intelligence was practically zero.
Wasn't it obvious?
If Kaido hadn't been defeated and Sakazuki had suffered a loss, Fleet Admiral Orion wouldn't be reacting this way, nor would he have summoned them to the port.
"You four!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the deck of the warship behind them.
"What are you standing around for? Get on the ship now!"
Standing on the warship was Captain Morgan, who had followed Orion from the East Blue to the headquarters. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the most excited person at the headquarters right now.
He had just arrived with the Fleet Admiral, barely had time to warm his seat and was already ordered to accompany the Fleet Admiral into the New World, with full responsibility for the arrangements on the ship.
What did this mean?
It meant that no matter how high-ranking the officers accompanying them were, they would have to follow his orders.
Especially these former Warlords, who had once been so arrogant.
In the past, he wouldn't have dared to boss them around—their mere presence would have intimidated him.
Hearing the shout from behind, Doflamingo slowly turned his head his lips curling into a terrifying arc.
"What are you looking at!"
Seeing Doflamingo glance over, Morgan immediately stepped forward and said sternly.
"Do I need to invite you?"
"Ahem—"
Sensing the aura emanating from Doflamingo subtly intensifying, Jinbei quickly coughed twice, then turned around with a cheerful smile and and said.
"Captain Morgan, you've worked hard. We'll be boarding right away!"
At that moment, Orion approached.
Accompanying him were Hancock, Mihawk, and Gunko, along with a little girl floating beside them.
"Perona?"
Seeing Perona unexpectedly following Orion, Moria immediately sensed trouble and quickly spoke up.
"What are you doing here? Go back and stay with Hogback and the others at headquarters for ideological reform!"
"No!" Perona pouted defiantly, turning her head away. "Marshal Orion said I performed well today and allowed me to join the trip to the New World."
Before Moria could react, Orion briskly walked past him and boarded the warship.
Seeing this, Moria didn't dare to say more and followed closely behind Jinbei and the others.
"Moria"
As soon as they reached the deck, Orion turned to the somewhat uneasy Moria and asked with a smile.
"Now that Kaido has been arrested by Sakazuki, if you were to see him, what would you want to do most?"
Hearing this, Moria quickly looked up and replied without hesitation.
"Kill him!"
Orion nodded and said "In that case, you'll be in charge of the execution when the time comes!"
Overwhelmed by the sudden good fortune, Moria excitedly stepped forward.
"Really? That's great! Thank you, Marshal!"
Orion waved his hand, signaling Moria to step back, and said decisively.
"Let's set off for the New World!"

Holy Land, the Meeting Hall of the God's Knights
"What?"
Shamrock, standing next to Garling, held a Den Den Mushi in his hand, looking incredulous.
"Kaido… has been arrested by Sakazuki?"
"Yes, Lord Shamrock!"
The voice from the Den Den Mushi continued "Not just Kaido, but Queen, King, and even Who's who from the Flying Six have all been captured. They're now being held on the prison ship alongside Kaido. However, Sakazuki and Gion haven't returned. Instead, they've led the 'Akainu' Army and the 'Momousagi' Army to the waters of Whole Cake Island!"
"To Whole Cake Island?"
Shamrock pupils slightly contracted as he looked up at Garling, who was sipping tea beside him and tentatively asked.
"Father, are they planning to join forces with Kuzan to take down Big Mom as well?"
"Who knows"
Garling eyes narrowed slightly as he replied indifferently.
"It's not surprising that Sakazuki and Gion managed to take down the Beast Pirates. Although Gion reputation as an admiral is somewhat undeserved, she awakened Conqueror's Haki during the battle. With the boost from Conqueror's Haki, her strength is now infinitely close to that of an admiral. If two admirals couldn't even take down Kaido, wouldn't that make the Marine admirals a joke?"
At this point, Garling tone shifted "However, the war in Whole Cake Island won't break out!"
"The reason is simple. Even if Sakazuki and Gion managed to take down Kaido, they wouldn't be in great shape. Going straight from a war with Kaido to a battle with Big Mom—even if they succeeded in taking down Charlotte Linlin—would leave them both severely weakened!"
"Knock knock knock—"
As soon as Garling finished speaking, a series of knocks abruptly sounded at the door.
Immediately after, a member of the God's Knights pushed the door open and quickly approached Garling.
"Lord Garling, Fleet Admiral Orion has entered the Holy Land with members of the Seven Warlords."
"Hmm?"
Garling was momentarily stunned, then abruptly stood up, casting aside his usual calm and composure.
He exclaimed excitedly "Shamrock, summon all members of the God's Knight for a meeting!"
"Yes, sir!"
Without a moment delay, Shamrock picked up the Den Den Mushi and began making calls.
Garling didn't idle either.
He turned to the God's Knights member who had just entered through the door and commanded.
"You, guard the entrance. From now on, no matter who comes looking for the God's Knight, tell them we're in a meeting and refuse all visitors!"
"Understood!" The member of the God Knights nodded in acknowledgment, then turned and ran out of the hall.
Once the God Knights member had left the hall, Shamrock, who had relayed Garling orders, immediately looked up at Garling and asked with some confusion.
"Father, what is the purpose of this move?"
"Someone is about to face trouble!"
Garling glanced at the tightly closed meeting room, then patted Shamrock on the shoulder.
"Do you think the Umit and Peclo got involved in this war because they had the courage to oppose the Marines? Not at all. They were drawn into this war solely because of certain people instructions!"
"And these people are in the Holy Land!"
"To be precise, they are in the Chamber of Power!"
At this point, Garling sat back in his chair with a satisfied expression, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Prepare to become the leader of the God's Knight, Shamrock! The Figarland family status in the Holy Land is about to rise to new heights."
