"Luffy!!!"

Seeing their captain blasted to the bottom of the deck by Garp, all the crew members' expressions changed instantly.

The playful atmosphere disappeared immediately. Garp's attack and words made them realize something was seriously wrong.

But before the Straw Hats could react, several figures with black wings descended on the ship and attacked them.

Sensing the attack, Sanji immediately raised his foot to counter, but his expression changed when he saw who was coming. "Doflamingo! Moria is here too?!"

"No, judging from their appearance, they shouldn't be the real ones," Brook said, pulling out his cane sword to block rays from the Doflamingo copy. "But this is really weird! Why can they use their Devil Fruit powers?!"

However, the question went unanswered. Not only did this group of Seraphim look the same, their strength wasn't weaker than the originals either. In just a few breaths, everyone in the Straw Hat crew was being overwhelmed.

"Damn old man!" Luffy shouted, sensing his crew's situation.

He struggled to get up and roared upward. His right arm was covered with pure black Armament Haki as he bit into it and began blowing air inside.

His muscles bulged and his body swelled! Steam rose as he transformed into Gear Fourth, wrapped in Armament Haki.

Click! Click!

The sound was like a spring being compressed.

"Gear Fourth! Kong Gun!" Luffy shouted!

His right fist, wrapped in Armament Haki, pulled back and then shot forward. The elasticity plus incredible speed struck at Garp violently!

BOOM!

Garp didn't dodge and punched Luffy's fist directly!

The powerful forces collided and exploded immediately. The air wave swept away instantly, making the already damaged ship shake even more violently.

Whoosh!

Under the collision of strength, both were pushed back.

Feeling the pain from his armored fist, Garp smiled. "You've mastered Haki to this extent! You really are my grandson!"

Seeing Garp smile, Luffy temporarily stopped attacking but still shouted with dissatisfaction. "Grandpa! What do you want to do?!"

"Didn't I say? I'm here to arrest you."

Garp took off his Marine coat and flexed his wrists. His aura continued to rise with this movement. "Since you, as a pirate, have even reached the position of Fourth Emperor, as your grandfather, I have to arrest you and put you in prison no matter what!"

The next second, Garp appeared in front of Luffy and swung out with a terrifying punch!

Luffy reacted and punched back!

Both sides hit each other in the face.

Unlike their previous clash, Garp's punch directly dented Luffy's face!

Then there was a sound like air leaking. Countless airflows gushed out from Luffy's mouth, and the terrifying force blasted Luffy thousands of meters away from the ship. He fell directly into the sea.

Meanwhile, at the end of the Grand Line - Water Star Island

In the few days after the carnival admission tickets were announced, many pirate ships and criminal organizations had already docked at the shore.

As these ships arrived, evil forces in various costumes landed on the island in an orderly manner under the control of the Beast Pirates and the Sky Kingdom forces.

Being able to reach Water Star Island, these groups had already proved their strength and record. They were among the best in the New World, but under the control of absolute power, no one dared to make trouble here.

After all, not everyone dared to defy the absolute overlord of the sea like Roger had done against Rocks in the past.

These pirates who landed first either had confidence in their own strength or wanted to take the first step to seize opportunities.

Compared to these groups who landed on Water Star Island, quite a few forces on the nearby sea chose to wait and watch.

Morgans, acting as a guest broadcaster, was currently sitting on a flying battleship. He controlled the live broadcast cameras, sweeping through every force's ship appearing in Water Star Island's sea area one by one. He broadcast it to all parts of the world in real time through Den Den Mushi.

This led to people from all over the world who were attracted by the live broadcast to put down everything they were doing and gather around video screens to watch the situation in Water Star Island's waters.

Even through the screen, people watching the live broadcast could feel the bloody and oppressive atmosphere coming through.

After all, none of these forces seemed like good people! Especially the forces that came here had all committed the evil deed of killing Marines to get admission tickets.

"There are already... twenty ships."

"This is only the fourth day! If it's really a week later, doesn't that mean hundreds of ships might gather here?!"

"Even Marines can't deal with so many forces! Could it be that the New World is really about to change?!"

"What about the Marines? Will they just sit back and watch these guys gather together like this?!"

"And the World Government - we pay so much money every year, and they promised to protect our safety!"

The people watching the live broadcast, whether civilians or nobles, panicked when they saw the increasing number of ships and the terrorist forces represented behind each flag.

They didn't think it was good for these pirates to gather together, especially with this crazy admission ticket system using Marine heads as tickets. This would inevitably lead to a terrifying war.

Faced with such terrifying numbers, people watching the live broadcast could hardly imagine how many warships and soldiers the Marines would need to send to defeat them!

If the Marines failed here, then their bad days might be coming.

So much so that every time a ship appeared in the sea area, their hearts sank a little more.

"Tsk tsk, they're all well-known pirates and underground rats. Characters from the New World are coming one after another. I just don't know how long it will take for the big shots to arrive," Kaido muttered.

He floated in the sky above the island, taking note of every ship's flag as they arrived.

Although the gradual increase in numbers could already start the front end of the war, these crews weren't just small fry, but they still couldn't reach the situation Kaido expected.

But Kaido wasn't in a hurry. After all, there was still one week left for the carnival, and he believed that the war Alex planned would come as expected, no matter the scale or the result!
