Not surprisingly, the news of the Gura Gura no Mi auction soon took the Grand Line by storm, and even the heat of this second-page news completely suppressed the praise and glory on the front page.

Although two years had passed since that battle, when it once again mentioned the Gura Gura no Mi, the Grand Line people are still quickly recalled that man's fearsome!

They certainly will not forget the summit war, Whitebeard, that almost destroyed the power of the world!

Although this fruit can only be called the strongest in the hands of Whitebeard, not many people can see through this; more people stubbornly believe that the gap between themselves and Whitebeard is only a Gura Gura no Mi!

So, when the news spread, similar discussions also increased.

"That's a Gura Gura no Mi ah! If I can get it, maybe I can also become the strongest man in the world!"

"Stupid! Fleet Admiral Longinus is not dead yet!"

"Ahem, then the world's second is also acceptable!"

"Are you planning to go to the Golden City?"

"What? Can't you?"

"I think I know, how can that kind of thing get our turn? To take a step back, even if you get it, can you keep that fruit?"

"Idiot! Golden City is an absolutely neutral area, it is impossible to fight, as long as we have enough money, it may really be possible to take the fruit, as for leaving, by the time we leave I will have long been a Gura Gura no Mi ability user! Oooh la!"

"Seems, seems to be so interesting! As long as we small pirates group united, in terms of wealth, may not lose to those big guys!"

"Haha! Right! Go, hurry up and get a few more while you can!"

Hearing similar voices resounding in the tavern, Akagami at the side of that man couldn't help but sigh, "This sea, it's going to be chaotic again!"

Beckman crossed his legs and leaned on the bar, "Heh! You say that as if the sea has never been quiet?"

Yasopp asked from the side, "What? Are you going to make them give you a face again?"

Akagami didn't care about their teasing but just laughed and said, "Haha! This kind of thing seems to be a bit difficult!"

Beckman turned his head to look at him, "From what you're saying, are you planning to go along for the ride?"

Akagami took a sip of booze and laughed, "It's rare to have this kind of opportunity ..."

Just then, Lucky Roux hurried in, " Boss, there's a news you might be interested in!"

"Huh? What is it?" The redhead scratched his head in confusion.

"Marco and the others declared that they will serve the one who ate the Shocker fruit as the leader!" Lucky Roux said, "That is to say, the person who ate the Gura Gura no Mi, in addition to gaining that world-destroying power, but also to get the followers of the strongest pirate group ever!"

Several people were stunned, obviously did not expect that Marco and the gang would play so big!

"Buy one get one free, said I am a little tempted!" Beckman kindly laughed.

"In order to make the situation more chaotic, they are also trying their best!" Akagami shook his head and said.

"Can't help it, who told them that the only bargaining chip they can hold now is themselves!" Yasopp also had some feelings.

On the other hand, Lucky Roux asked, "Boss, so what do we do next?"

"Let's go to the Golden City now!" Akagami stood up fiercely with a stern gaze, "I have a hunch that this auction will only not be too easy!"

Meanwhile, on the Onigashima Island in the Wano Country!

"Worororo! Is that really what those bastards Marco said?" Kaido stared at his big eyes, and two overly excited white veils of mist sprayed out of his nostrils.

"Since they are still known as the Whitebeard Pirates, there is no way they would lie about such things!" Ember said seriously.

"I will take them in!" Kaido feels his body's hot blood boiling, "Make Whitebeard that old man's son become the old man's men, this kind of thing is too exciting!"

"Big brother Kaido, they may ..."

"After taking them, I want them to call me grandfather! No, isn't that the same as that bastard Garp? By the way, we can make them dance on the grave of that old man Whitebeard!"

See into the crazy fantasy of Kaido; Queen had no choice but to retract his words.

...

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

In the Fleet Admiral's office;

"Fleet Admiral-dono, do you need me to go to the Golden City?" Kizaru put his feet on the coffee table in front of him, lazily asked.

"It's rare that you are so enthusiastic, Admiral Kizaru, then why not go with me!" Longinus said with a smile.

"Hey? Big boss, you want to personally go out again?" Kizaru said in shock, "Sengoku-san at that time is much more leisurely than you!"

"No way, who knows that this year's turmoil is greater than the past ten years combined?" Longinus shrugged.

"That's right, when you captured Dragon, I thought the trouble would finally be over!" Kizaru sighed and asked again, "What are you going to do about Marco? If you really let a powerful guy to get the Gura Gura no Mi, either further expansion of power or the rise of a new Goko, this is not good news for us!"

"So, this fruit is best shot by the Marine Corps ah!"

"Oh yo yo, it seems that you have long been prepared, Fleet Admiral!"

...

New World, New Marine Headquarters!

A large number of warships began to assemble, ready to depart.

And on the harbor, Doberman frowned and asked, "Fleet Admiral, do we really have to go to that whatever auction? Our finances, showing a deficit for a long time already!"

Without the support of the World Government behind the new marine, military expenses in many cases can only rely on the support of certain large kingdoms in the New World or from the pirates who got destroyed to seize the spoils of war.

In general, and the first half of the Marine Headquarters' Grand Line, they are like the wealthy people's poor relatives; every time they see the Marine Headquarters significantly replace the weapons and equipment, they will be envious to redden their eyes.

In response, Sakazuki just blandly said, "It is because there is no money, that is why I have to go!"

Doberman's face showed a dawning look, "From those pirates to grab ... not, is to collect military expenses?"

But soon, he said with some scruples, "This auction will only gather a lot of big sea pirates, even we cannot be enemies with all the pirates!"

Sakazuki snickered, "Even at the moment of final destruction, those selfish and degenerate pirates will not understand what is called cooperation, as long as we are strong enough, they may not even have the idea of resistance!"

Doberman nodded, "I understand!"

"Those pirates have nothing to worry about at all! What's really worth caring about ..." Sakazuki's eyes shone brightly, "is Longinus and his marine force!"
