Zephyr sighed heavily, "Hear me out... We might have to disband Neo Marine."
"What?!" Ain was speechless. It was too sudden of a decision.
Didn't they have a gathering a few hours ago about reducing one of the Marine's bases near Elwood?
Zephyr looked at his dear disciple and continued, "We got an invitation from a strong person. He'd like us to be part of his organization."
"No, he'd like the four major factions in Elwood to be under him from now on."
"Can we just reject this person?" Ain was confused.
As far as Ain knew, her teacher always possessed a steel-like will. After learning about the corrupt practices of the Marines, he despises getting exploited by others and wants to show the world true justice.
The way he acts right is nothing like his usual self!
"Unfortunately, the one offering this is not someone we could afford to offend, Ain." Zephyr shook his head bitterly. "The Unrivaled Weapon Alliance and Mink Tribe have joined this person's group."
This time, not only Ain but the rest of the Neo Marines also widened their eyes in disbelief. They couldn't believe their ears for a moment.
However, this was coming from Zephyr's mouth, so they had no choice but to believe it.
Zephyr won't bother to lie. He's not such a person in the first place.
A Neo Marine Senior mumbled in confusion, "How is this possible? With the Strongest Swordsman in the Unrivaled Weapon Alliance, those weapon-wielding fanatics would never bend their knees to others."
"Unless... Dracule Mihawk was defeated." Someone raised his voice as if he was reciting a fantasy.
Gasp!
A loud gasp escaped everyone's mouth simultaneously.

Such a possibility flashed in their mind.
"But we are talking about Mihawk here. He's the Strongest Swordsman in the world." said another Neo Marine member. To them, Mihawk is one of those powerhouses they could only watch from afar and admire in helplessness.
His strength is in the realm they couldn't imagine. Even Zephyr himself won't have a good time fighting Mihawk.
Unfortunately, sometimes the wildest thought is the most correct.
Zephyr recalled Mihawk's brief exchange with that person and shook his head bitterly, "No, you guys are right. Mihawk has lost. He lost with a single sword slash."
"And what makes this situation grave is the person who defeated him was the one who wanted us to join his group."
"..." Ain.
"..." Everyone else.
No fucking wonder!
"To defeat Mihawk with a single sword slash." Ain clenched her hand in awe. "Just how powerful is this person?"
Zephyr laughed wearily, "If you guys see what I saw. You wouldn't be surprised by the difference in strength. That guy Mihawk doesn't even have a chance to defeat that person."
"And that person was holding back, so he didn't kill Mihawk accidentally."
Hiss!
Everyone couldn't help but suck a sharp breath. Holding back against the Strongest Swordsman is incomprehensible.
The more they listened to Zephyr, the more shocked they received. At this point, some of them might faint or have a seizure.
"Sensei, who is this person?" Ain finally asked the infamous million-dollar question.
Zephyr gazed around the room before sighing again, "This person is well known. In fact, everyone in Elwood should know him."
"His name is Huo Yuhao."
"But you guys should recognize his other name."
"Jack Sparrow. Captain Jack Sparrow!"
The atmosphere froze immediately.
"He is..."
"HE IS BACK!" Someone Neo Marine stood up in excitement.
Cough!
Zephyr coughed, "Okay, okay, don't get too excited. I know everyone here admired him because of what he had done two years ago, starting from making Elwood to declaring war against corrupt forces."
"However, I must tell you that he was much different than you ever imagined."
"Not in a bad way, of course, just different."
"Aih, what a bother. I bet the Revolutionary Army is in the same predicament right now."
...
At the Revolutionary Army's side, Sabo sat in a meeting room with a solemn expression. Even then, he's alone, facing Den Den Mushi.
"Is what you said true, Sabo?" A man's shaky voice came from the Den Den Mushi. "Jack Sparrow has returned to Elwood? It is unbelievable."
"After two years, I thought the Celestial Dragons had gotten him, but I still underestimated this person."
"As expected of the man who boldly declared war against the Celestial Dragon after killing one of their strongest dogs (admirals)."
Sabo's mouth twitched slightly, "Underestimated... That's a lousy word compared to what that man can do, Dragon-san."
"He basically spared Mihawk's life a while ago."
"Even with my strength, I felt helpless facing him."
"If I had to say... It feels like he was an otherworldly being or a God."
The Revolutionary Army's leader, Monkey D. Dragon, becomes solemn upon hearing Sabo's words.
Anything related to Gods isn't simple. They are beings that mortals can't understand.
After forming the Revolutionary Army and stealing something from the hand of Celestial Dragons, Dragon has done tireless research about those so-called Gods.
He has found many secrets the public didn't know.
So, he wasn't surprised knowing there were other worlds out there. This universe is vast, after all.
He also couldn't help but feel immense disgust and hatred toward the World Government. They hide this information, preventing others from rising to prominence.
Of course, there is personal hate, too. However, a Dragon is a man with a vast vision and a calm heart. He wouldn't charge the World Government directly and decided to accumulate power himself.
There is a reason why Dragon was 'literally' called the most dangerous man in the world. After all, his presence threatened the stability of the World Government.
"Hmm..." Dragon rubbed his forehead, thinking about Huo Yuhao's offer to join the Dragon Nest.
"Another world... Dragon Nest. Nest of Dragons, huh?"
"What should we do, Dragon-san?" Sabo interjected. "Should we join Dragon Nest?"
"I didn't sense any ill intention from Huo Yuhao earlier."
"He genuinely wanted us to join him."
"Of course, we must join." Dragon laughed. "Such a strong person would lead us to greatness. He'll help us revolutionize this world!"
"Unfortunately, I'm too far from Elwood. I wanted to meet Huo Yuhao personally."
"Are you still looking for the World Government's weakness?" Sabo was confused.
Dragon replied confidently, "Yes. Even though they tried to hide it, I had already found traces of Uranus's weakness. The ruin I'm currently in recorded the method used to make it."
"So, Sabo, I appointed you to accept Huo Yuhao's offer."
"He will be our key to throwing off the World Government and liberating this world from its restriction."
Sabo nodded solemnly, "I understand. I will do as you say, Dragon-san."
Dragon smiled on the other side of Den Den Mushi, "Also, say my thanks to Huo Yuhao."
"Eh, did he help you before, Dragon-san?" Sabo was surprised.
"No, but he helped Luffy's crewmate, remember?" Dragon answered with amusement.
The disappearance of Devil Child Nico Robin is a public secret. Many people knew Huo Yuhao killed Admiral Kizaru to save her.
Dragon guessed Huo Yuhao did this to avert everyone's attention from Robin to him. This act also helped Luffy and his other crewmates as the World Government wouldn't hastily chase after them.
"I see..." Sabo realized what Dragon meant.
"Sabo, do your best to get on Huo Yuhao's good side first. I will be back soon." After saying that, Dragon cut his connection with Sabo's Den Den Mushi.
Sabo stared blankly at the Den Den Mushi before slapping his face a few times. "Okay, here we go!" He said with a burning spirit.
