Nervously unrolling one newspaper and quickly reading it, she ran her eyes over the text a second time in shock, and then sighed nervously:
- Now it is clear what happened there ... - unfolding the second newspaper, the girl immediately saw several familiar faces. She knew most of them. How could she not know all the members of the Blood Star crew? She wasn't worried about the newcomer, if he was a man everything was fine. Frowning at the three girls, Hancock gritted her teeth slightly, but continued reading the newspaper anyway. The increase in the reward of the entire team amazed her, but she already knew why it happened.
The newspaper mainly described the reasons and all the crimes of the pirate crew. After reading the entire newspaper, Hancock sighed nervously.
- As expected...
With a final glance at Mora's new leaflet, the girl smiled and nodded resolutely. Then she rolled up the newspapers and, turning to Marco, said:
- Thanks. - the girl said this without any sincerity and even with a slight arrogance. Marco only smiled at this and waved his hand. He had heard a lot about the character of the legendary Empress of the Pirates. All he could do was wish Moru good luck ...
- Everything is fine, and now, go away.
The guy did not even have time to finish, as the women had already left. With a wry grin, Marco walked back to the tavern.

A few days ago. In the holy land of Marijoa, all the Gorosei gathered again to discuss the recent events surrounding the death of the Yonko and the Blood Star Pirates participating in this event. The day of the Meeting of the Kings was approaching, who knows what will happen after this event. Either way, the elders will have to turn to Imu ...
Gorosei, whose names are not known to many in the world ...
Huo is an elder with a large white mustache and bald head, whose forehead is adorned with a prominent birthmark.
The background is the highest of all the Gorosei. His entire body was elongated and lean, as were his long hair, beard and mustache.
Lay is pale and bald and looks like the oldest of them all. The distinctive feature of this old man was a katana and a white gi.
Tsuchi is a short old man with a wooden cane. He wears dreadlocks with a black hat over it. The right side of the old man's face is decorated with a wide scar.
Chue is the last of all, but also the youngest in appearance. A man with dark skin and blond hair, who did not yet have gray hair, unlike his colleagues. But even though he looked young, he really wasn't. Like the rest of the Gorosei, he has lived for many years and can rightfully be called one of the oldest creatures in the world.
Having gathered once again, the first to speak, as always, was the eldest - Lei:
- The Sea Devil was able to defeat Lingling, I suppose you already know, this fluttering bird has already managed to ruffle everything. As they say, he did not suffer much in the battle and calmly left the island. But, apparently, the battle was not easy, so some conclusions can be drawn.
Tapping his cane with his fingers, Tsuchi scratched his beard and replied:
“I guess it won't really affect the plan. If he won, then we can no longer hesitate. If all goes well, then he will definitely die.
Chue looked at the old man and asked:
- What about his team?
- Let's see, maybe they will be useful, as from the same Rocks, in due time. The old man replied with a grin.
“Speaking of them, wasn't Sargon a cabin boy on Shebek's ship? - asked Von.
Tsuchi nodded.
- You're right. Then he would be one of the few survivors. Even when many died or fled, like Linlin and Kaido, he remained on the ship, protecting him as a carpenter. Well, then, he was chained in kairoseki.
"Hmm, speaking of the escaped, did the Silver Ax show up?" - Fon asked gloomily.
Huo frowned and shook his head.
“We haven't heard of him since Roger's death. This pirate is no weaker than Kaido, so finding him is not easy. He always hides in the shadows. We still don't know his motives.
Lei nodded and stood up and said:
“It doesn't matter what happened to the Silver Ax. More important now is to get rid of the Sea Devil. If he somehow manages to get to that island, it will be much worse than with Roger. Who knows what he will arrange ...
All the elders agreed and began to disperse. After some time, Kong received an order that was to be extended to all forces under his control. All SR agents and Marines must be ready.
At the same time, another newspaper from the World Government was distributed.
When Akainu received an order from the Supreme Commander, he immediately gathered all the acting admirals and gave them orders. All of them may have a hard battle soon, and they should be well prepared.
Vegapunk's development was also supposed to help in the battle. It was this technology that was in many ways the greatest confidence of the World Government.
Of course, even if they mustered enough strength and were ready, the time for battle had not come yet. All that was required now was to wait. As soon as the order is given, all forces will be sent to capture or destroy the Blood Star team.

New world. Unknown island.
There were a great many rather strange and unusual islands in the New World. One of these was a huge piece of land, forever drifting deep in the ocean. In fact, it was difficult to call this piece of land an island, it was too small, only about a kilometer in length and width. The entire island was covered with a huge transparent ball, which did not let the water inside.
The island itself was all green, with many trees and vegetation. Notable were the huge flowers, which were no less than trees. There were creatures completely unknown to the world on the island. These were the rarest species of animals that many on the surface of the world had long considered extinct.
But although there were animals on the island, there were almost no people here. Only one of them lived here, but even he had a rather strange appearance.
In a large clearing, with many different grasses and small flowers, there was a small house, next to which there was a low turret, and next to a small hill. A small tree with pink flowers grew on this hill. A weak breeze swayed the branches of the trees and rose petals fell to the ground, on a couple of stone tombstones, and on a man sitting under the tree.
