Chapter 137

As Vermillion and the others held a banquet with the Red Hair Pirates, the outside world became noisy due to the recent events.

Although the battle between Marshal Blue, Marines, and World Government took place late at night, the noise attracted brave people who wanted to find out what was going on.

Those who witnessed the battle were wide-eyed at the prowess of Gilgamesh and Artoria. Two people who appeared out of nowhere managed to defeat Zephyr and Garp. That's incredible!

There was also a super large air fortress that surprised them even more. The reporters who happened to be present photographed the scene repeatedly.

When the battle ended and Marshal Blue's side returned to the castle, the reporters immediately returned to the HQ.

Soon, details of the battle between the Drake Pirates, the Navy, and the World Government spread worldwide.

Vermillion and his team have once again captured the attention of the entire seas.

Marijoa.

Five of the most powerful people sat in the room, each looking serious. Looking at the photo of the sky fortress, their eyes were focused on the splendor of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

"Do you think that fortress is Uranus?" Asked the blonde Elder.

"I don't know, but considering Nico Robin followed Marshal Blue... the possibility of the flying fortress being Uranus is very high." Answered the sword-holding Elder.

"But intelligence says that Nico Robin just joined them. So the possibility of her helping the Drake Pirates get Uranus is highly questionable." The curly-haired Elder gave his opinion.

"Indeed, or they have had that from the start. If that is the case, they are more troublesome than we thought."

"It's still uncertain whether the flying fortress is Uranus, but it's clear that we need to pay more attention to them. Besides, that fortress has the power to destroy an island."

"With the appearance of their new members, the Drake Pirates can be said to be more dangerous than the current Four Emperors, especially since they are friends with the Red Hair Pirates." Said the curly-haired Elder.

"From now on, intelligence agencies must pay close attention to them. If there is a chance, we must destroy them." The blond Elder.

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

Each Elder gave their approval.

Elsewhere.

"Gurarara! Interesting, they actually managed to catch Garp again." Reading the newspaper, Shirohige laughed, "I didn't expect them to be related to the Red Hair Pirates either. If there's a chance, let's talk to them."

"Dad, don't we need to be careful with that air fortress?" Marco said, "Many say that the air fortress is Uranus..."

"Gurarara! If that is the case, then it is indeed quite dangerous. Besides, it seems that Captain Drake's ship has the same function, firing lasers."

Arabasta.

"Ancient Weapon, Uranus?"

In the fancy office, Crocodile reads the news while tightening his grip.

"Nico Robin was on the Marshal Blue ship as well? Then, was that Uranus obtained through Nico Robin's help?" He had been looking for Robin for a long time, wanting to utilize her talent to track down the Ancient Weapon. Still, now, that woman appeared on the opponent's ship.

'If Robin can help Marshal Blue get Uranus, she can also help me track down Pluton.' He muttered, 'However, she has joined Marshal Blue's ship, and Marshal Blue obviously cannot be fought easily.' Crocodile frowned and felt even more frustrated.

Castle Area.

After the banquet, Vermillion, Shanks, and the rest of Red Hair Pirates members headed out to the gate.

"I hope to drink with you again," Shanks said.

"Next time, I would like to meet Dr. Tsunade and express my gratitude to her in person." Yasopp nodded several times.

"We're going to the New World, and I'm sure we'll meet again." Vermillion said, "With Drake wanting to become the 'Pirate King,' our goals will make us meet again. But, since our goals are the same, we will probably compete." He added.

"With competitors like you, we need to be more careful." Shanks smiled, "But, aren't you the real leader? Why is it Drake who wants to be the Pirate King?"

"Isn't it obvious? Because I will hold the same status and title when she achieves it." He replied with a mysterious smile.
