----------

As Kaido's ticket conditions spread widely, countless people across the sea who wanted to join this big event - whether pirates or criminal organizations - all acted quickly.

Marines who got the news would likely strengthen their defenses or even hide inside Marine fortresses. The longer they waited, the harder it would be to get Marine heads worth 100 million berries for admission tickets.

Some people thought about breaking in without tickets, but just thinking about the power of the Beast Pirates and the Sky Kingdom made them change their minds and honestly collect tickets instead.

Just as many expected, shortly after the newspaper spread worldwide, Marine branches everywhere and Marine troops stationed around the world raised their alert levels to maximum.

After dealing with pirates for so many years, no Marine would underestimate these people's crazy pursuit of ONE PIECE.

In less than a day, Marine branches all over the world and warships on missions were attacked by pirates.

Some fought off the pirate attacks, some had their ships destroyed, and many stationed branches fell completely. This brought huge and unprecedented losses to the Marines as a whole.

At the same time, attacks on criminals who actively looked for trouble became extremely fierce.

For the evil ones, Marines began changing from the idea of arrest to ruthless destruction.

With the Sky Kingdom's advice and Kaido's special bounty system, wars broke out everywhere across the world and Grand Line. The conflict between the Marine World Government and illegal pirate organizations reached its peak.

This way, using these useless pirate trash to destroy and rebuild the old forces would benefit the Sky Kingdom's future development no matter which side lost.

Pirates and criminal organizations didn't know they were just pawns. Seeing Marines being outnumbered and suppressed by their fellow criminals heading to the New World, these groups became more excited about fighting Marines.

Of course, because Marines became more united for this purpose, the situation of villains fighting each other for resources also grew worse.

New World

It was a common sight - two pirate ships crashed together side by side.

"Hands up! If you're smart, surrender to me, and I'll lead you to compete for carnival entrance tickets!"

The well-known pirate captain in the New World stood at his ship's bow, looking at the enemy crew and shouting proudly. Many pirates behind him cheered loudly.

The deck was full of excitement.

"Hey! What are you talking about?!"

Suddenly, many pirates heard the sound of air being cut at high speed.

Before they could react, they saw a steaming fist flying toward them.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The fist flashed, and both the proud captain and his crew were blown away.

Seeing the figure landing steadily on the deck, especially the very recognizable straw hat, the other pirates still standing immediately shouted in panic: "How... how is this possible! It's the Fourth Emperor Straw Hat!"

As soon as they spoke, the remaining pirates were all attacked and collapsed with their eyes rolled back.

"The current situation is really getting more and more chaotic. This is already the fifth fight we've run into since we split into two groups to go to sea," Sanji said, pulling back his smoking leg. He lit the cigarette in his mouth and looked at the messy pirate ship. "I should have stayed with the Sunny at Zou!"

"Yohohoho~ After all, whether it's pirates or Marines, it's either you die or I die," Brook said, rubbing his nose. "But 'Fourth Emperor Straw Hat' really sounds exciting!"

"Oi~" Usopp said, bonking Brook and Chopper on their heads. "People are saying Luffy is a Yonko! Why are you two getting secretly excited? It's all because of Kaido's announcement - the New World is very dangerous now."

"To avoid problems later, we should contact Bartolomeo and the others as soon as possible," Usopp continued.

Their trip to Zou not only improved their training but also brought them the large number of troops from the Mink Tribe.

Combined with the Grand Fleet of Straw Hats, they now had the ability to control part of this chaotic sea and use it to support themselves.

They were waiting for the right time to launch their revenge against the Sky Kingdom.

Luffy nodded and was about to continue heading to the meeting place with his crew, but suddenly noticed a warship slowly appearing at the end of the sea.

"No way, another warship is coming!" Sanji sighed. They had seen many warships along with the pirates fighting each other.

"No! No!" Usopp said suddenly, holding a telescope. "That's not an ordinary Marine... that's Vice Admiral Garp's warship!"

"Grandpa?!" Luffy said with shock, then ran to the ship's side. He gradually saw the dog-headed warship that looked like the one from Water Seven appearing in front of them.

"Why is Grandpa here! We've been traveling with hidden identities!" Luffy said.

Awakened by memories of childhood beatings, Luffy showed rare fear.

"It's all your fault! I told you not to hang the pirate flag and you didn't listen! This isn't just trouble - this is disaster!" Sanji yelled, kicking Luffy away. Chopper also took the chance to add a few kicks.

"Wait! Vice Admiral Garp is coming!" Usopp finished speaking just as the warship that was still miles away created huge waves.

A figure crossed the sea at terrifying speed, came to their ship, and punched Luffy.

Haki blocked instantly. Looking at Garp's serious expression, Luffy's nervous face became serious too. "Grandpa!"

BOOM!

The terrifying force combined with Haki smashed through Luffy's defense and blasted him down to the lower deck.

"This old man is here to arrest you, Straw Hat Luffy!"
