"That is..."
Not far from Dressrosa's waters.
A two-masted pirate ship was cutting through the waves, heading rapidly towards Dressrosa.
On the deck at the bow.
Captain Shanks and Vice-Captain Benn Beckman gazed solemnly at the sky, at the dark spatial rift that was emanating from Dressrosa.
"What is this?"
After a moment of hesitation, Benn Beckman asked with a serious tone.
No one here could answer him, for no one knew.
"A true spatial rift."
A red light flashed in Shanks's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Not an air rift formed by air vibrations like Whitebeard's, but a true spatial rift, a rift that can lead to another dimension."
"Truly terrifying!"
Looking down, Shanks gazed at the small black dot that was gradually appearing on the sea ahead, his dark pupils filled with gravity.
Whether this thing was a power far beyond his comprehension that shattered space, or created through Devil Fruit abilities,
It all indicated that there was an existence of the absolute highest caliber in Dressrosa ahead.
At his level, he could naturally feel the limitations of space.
No one in the great world was free from spatial pressure.
He too wanted to shatter space and see the scenery beyond it.
But let alone him, even his captain, Roger, even the world's strongest Whitebeard, even the Marine hero Garp, if they were to combine their strength, they would not be able to shatter space.
And now, he had actually seen someone who could truly shatter space.
"Could it be you?"
For some reason, a silver-haired figure appeared in his mind.
Kaido was dead, Charlotte Linlin he knew, the Marines he knew, so if there was a variable, it could only be that person he hadn't met, but had seen countless times in newspapers over the past year.
"If this rift is an attack."
As if thinking of something, Shanks turned to look at Benn Beckman, and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Charlotte Linlin is in danger."
Benn Beckman said, looking up at the sky again, his eyes full of emotion.
"Mm!"
Shanks nodded and said nothing.
If this thing was an attack, their trip would likely be in vain.
"Headache."
Two Emperors dead at once, just thinking about the chaotic New World that would follow made him restless.
But no matter how much he thought, it wouldn't be as good as seeing it with his own eyes.
Although he already had a vague answer in his heart, they still had to go and see.
At the very least, they had to meet the silver-haired one.
They had already learned about the silver-haired one's personality through various channels, so they were not worried that they would conflict with the silver-haired crew this time.
Because the two pirate crews were, in a strict sense, very similar.
Thinking of the silver-haired one from their own perspective, they would know that they could not have any conflict.
This was also why Shanks headed directly to Dressrosa after receiving the news.
On one hand, it was confidence in his own strength, and on the other hand, it was the personality of the silver-haired crew.
Before long, the rift in the sky was smoothed over by space, and the sky returned to its original state.
And the Red-Haired Pirates advanced rapidly, and soon arrived at Dressrosa.
"Is this Dressrosa?"
Looking ahead at the completely shattered Dressrosa.
The Red-Haired Pirates weaved through the countless reefs after the island's fragmentation, looking at the remaining half of Dressrosa ahead, their faces full of emotion.
"Mm! Marines."
"Red-Hair."
On the island fragment where the port was located.
Shanks and the others spotted the Marines, and the Marines naturally saw Shanks and the others.
"Why did this guy come?"
Momonga stepped forward, looking at the Red-Haired Pirates rapidly approaching, and asked in confusion.
"He probably wants to stop this war!"
Onigumo, with a cigar in his mouth, removed it, took a puff of smoke, and then, with a smile, said, "It's a pity he's late. Kaido is dead, and Charlotte Linlin is dead."
No matter what, the death of two Emperors at once was a great joy for the Marines!
No matter what happened to the New World next, they, the Marines, would be in a stable position.
They were very grateful to the silver-haired one for this.
Although two Emperors died, they saw an even more terrifying figure rise, but this figure had already surpassed their understanding, and was not something they could deal with.
Therefore, they had mentally given up on Sora Tai.
They no longer considered him a pirate.
Well... in short, since we can't beat you, and all of us combined can't beat you, then we won't consider you an enemy, wouldn't that mean, in a way, we've become allies?
Haha!!
Whatever the higher-ups were thinking, those who had witnessed Sora Tai's terror at this moment thought this way.
A typical Ah Q mentality.
"Mm! Merchant ship?"
Just then, another ship, without any markings, like an ordinary merchant ship, appeared in the Marines' sight from another direction.
"At this time, there's a merchant ship coming to Dressrosa?"
The Marines looked at the merchant ship, somewhat bewildered.
However, upon seeing that only two teenagers and a middle-aged man resembling a butler were standing at the bow of the ship, they paid no further attention.
Although the boy's demeanor looked like that of a noble, who were they?
They had seen many such nobles and would not pay too much attention to a mere noble.
"Sabo, that's Vice-Admiral Momonga, Vice-Admiral Onigumo, and Marine hero Garp, and Admiral Kizaru, right!"
At the bow of the merchant ship, the girl cautiously looked at the Marines standing at the highest point of the port fragment, her young face full of seriousness, her tone tinged with a tremor.
Compared to pirates, they, the Revolutionary Army, were even less favored by the World Government. If their identities were exposed, those Marines would immediately arrest them.
To say nothing else.
Just Kizaru alone was enough to prevent them from escaping.
At the forefront of the three.
The boy, with wavy blonde hair covered by a top hat with goggles, a large scar over his left eye, dressed in noble attire, and always wearing a confident smile, casually tilted his head to look at the girl.
"We have nothing with the Marines, with the World Government right now. It would be a ghost if they knew our identities."
Having said that, he reached out and patted the head of the girl, who was also wearing goggles and a wine-red hat.
He continued, "Am I right, Koala?"
"Right your head!"
Koala's face flushed red, and she slapped Sabo's hand away.
"Mm! Red-Haired Pirates."
"Look, Sabo, it's the Red-Haired Pirates."
"Mm!"
Sabo nodded, followed Koala's gaze and saw a large two-masted ship heading towards the shattered Dressrosa from another direction.
"Red-Hair's coming to Dressrosa, he must be here to stop the war."
After saying that, Sabo withdrew his gaze from the Red-Haired Pirates and looked towards the Royal Palace highlands on the cliff, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"But now it seems they might be disappointed, the war should have already ended."
