Nami excitedly waved the Treasure Map in her hand, which was emitting a faint glow.
As she finished speaking, the Treasure Map seemed to melt like yellow gin, flowing and transforming in her hand, eventually coalescing into a gin -colored shovel that appeared to be crafted from yellow gin!
"Super! This shovel is so cool!" Franky struck his classic pose, his eyes shining.
"Yohohoho~ I wonder what treasure we'll dig up this time? Hopefully it'll be a beautiful lady's panties..." Brook made his usual skeletal-sounding remarks.
Law watched with interest, arms crossed.
Nami took a deep breath, gripped the handle of the Gin shovel with both hands, and as always, she could feel that nothing in the world could stop her digging.
"Watch this!" she shouted, forcefully shoveling the Gin shovel down towards the marked spot!
Without encountering any soil or rock obstruction, the tip of the Gin shovel easily sank into the ground as if cutting into water.
Immediately afterwards—
Buzz!
A massive, blinding beam of gin- colored light, seemingly composed of pure energy, shot skyward from the point where the shovel had landed!
The light was so intense that it instantly dispelled the shadows cast by the surrounding mangroves, illuminating the entire area as if it were daytime!
"Wow! It's so bright!" Nami instinctively covered her eyes with her arm.
Law narrowed his eyes slightly, and Franky and Brook also took a half step back from this sudden phenomenon.
The Gin light lasted for several seconds before slowly receding.
As the light faded, everyone eagerly looked at the spot that Gin had "dug" open with his shovel—there was no treasure chest or riches as expected, but instead...a person was standing there!
A tall, thin man wearing a yellow and white striped suit, sunglasses, and a somewhat bewildered and confused expression.
He was clearly shocked and bewildered by his sudden appearance here and his experience of being enveloped in Gin light. He subconsciously raised his hand to push up his sunglasses and looked around.
When Nami and Law saw what the person who had been "dug out" looked like, their expressions froze instantly, their pupils contracted sharply, and they were so shocked that they could hardly speak!
" Admiral Yellow… Kizaru?!?" Nami's voice was shrill and distorted with extreme disbelief.
Law's brows furrowed deeply, his eyes sharpening as he slowly uttered the name representing Marine's highest combat strength:
" Borsalino..."
Franky and Blueno were also dumbfounded. Looking at the person in front of them, they never expected that Nami's magical Treasure Map would actually... dig up an Admiral directly from the ground!
Kizaru was also confused; where did this come from?
What's going on?
Where is Gin?
Just moments before, he was on his way back to Marineford at high speed, still reliving his brief encounter with Sabo.
'Wow~ Sabo is getting more and more skilled with Conqueror's Haki. His rate of improvement is terrifying...'
He was thinking this, and had even begun to devise a plan to report to Fleet Admiral Sengoku the urgent intelligence about the Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff's rapidly growing strength.
However, in the next second, something unexpected happened!
A dazzling beam of light, completely incomprehensible and irresistible, seemingly originating from the very body of the rules, suddenly shot down from the void directly above him without warning, precisely enveloping his entire body!
"Um?!"
Kizaru didn't even have time to react; his renowned light-speed movement seemed to have lost all meaning in the face of this Gin beam.
He felt an irresistible, tyrannical force pulling him, as if an invisible hand had grabbed him and forcibly "pulled" him out of his high-speed flight!
The surrounding scenery instantly became blurry and distorted, turning into a dizzying stream of gin- colored light.
The sense of time and space became chaotic at this moment.
He tried to break free by transforming into an element, but found that his Logia ability seemed to be completely suppressed in this strange Gin light, and he could not use it at all!
The feeling was like being stuffed into a high-speed spinning drum and then forcibly thrown into some unknown tunnel.
In the blink of an eye, the uncomfortable tearing and dizziness vanished.
When he regained control of his body, steadied himself, and subconsciously adjusted his slightly askew sunglasses, he opened his eyes. What greeted him was no longer the familiar sea of clouds high in the sky, but rather...
A slightly messy patch of land, with several faces he recognized standing nearby.
Straw Hat's Navigator Nami, the mysterious Pluton controller Law, and Cyborg and the skeleton.
He himself was standing on top of a pit that had obviously been disturbed, with soft soil still inside.
Kizaru: "???"
Even with his decades of experience and Admiral's composure, his mind went blank for a moment.
He glanced down at his gleaming leather shoes, then looked up at Nami's deathly pale face, and at the horrified expressions on Franky, Brook, and the others' faces...
An absurd yet seemingly the only explanation popped up uncontrollably.
"No way~~~ Did you guys dig me out with a shovel?"
No one answered.
An eerie silence fell over the scene.
Nami's palms were sweating profusely. Her mouth was agape, but she couldn't utter a single word. Her mind was completely blank—had she dug up an Admiral again?!
Did I step on a Sea Kings scalper on my way out?!
Franky remained frozen in his classic pose, forgetting even to shout "Super," his mechanical eyes darting back and forth, seemingly calculating the probability of successfully escaping from Admiral's clutches.
Brook's jawbone clicked, and although he had no eyeballs, a deep sense of fear seemed to emanate from the empty eye sockets.
"Ho ho ho, treasure hunting is really too dangerous. Next time... next time even if there are ladies' panties to tempt me... I definitely won't come..."
Even the usually composed Law couldn't help but rub his temples, looking at Kizaru who was standing up from the pit with a bewildered expression. His tone was a mix of helplessness and a strong urge to complain as he spoke to Nami:
"It seems... your luck in treasure hunting is getting lower and lower."
Once again, Marine's top combat power has been unearthed; their luck curve is practically plummeting vertically downwards.
Kizaru Borsalino looked at the group of guys in front of him, slowly sorted out the situation, pushed up his sunglasses, and subtly scanned the surrounding environment.
Giant mangrove roots, colorful soap bubbles floating in the air... This is Sabadoy Archipelago.
His gaze returned to the people in front of him.
Besides the familiar faces Nami and the unfathomable Law En, the muscular cyborg and the talking skeleton next to them also appear to be new members of Straw Hat.
And it was this group of people…
