East Blue, a certain sea area.
On the deck of the massive warship that had promptly transferred Monkey D. Luffy, Dragon stood with a solemn expression at the bow.
The setting sun cast his shadow long, giving it a somewhat artistic feel.
However, Dragon was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful sunset, because just moments ago, he had received a den den mushi call from Garp. As he expected, the young master from the Nerona Family had indeed appeared in Foosha Village, and even threatened the lives of all the villagers to force him to show himself.
Of course, all of this was within his expectations, and he didn't find it troublesome. If this young master of the Nerona Family pushed too hard, he would simply gather the Revolutionary Army and fight a bloody battle with him.
What truly puzzled him was that Ian seemed to know all his secrets, suddenly coming from the Holy Land to the East Blue, and even directly ambushing him at his doorstep, catching him off guard.
"Someone!"
After more than ten minutes of silence, Dragon suddenly looked up, as if having made a major decision, and turned to look at the cabin door.
As Dragon gave the order, figures suddenly flickered on the originally empty deck. In a short while, more than ten Revolutionary Army members stood neatly on the deck.
Leading them was a fiery woman. She wore a red top hat with goggles. Unlike Gunko, who only wore underwear, the woman wore no bra, only a red long-sleeved vest, exuding charm with every move.
Belo Betty, commander of the Revolutionary Army's East Army, and an Inspire-Inspire Fruit user.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with Belo Betty was also a young woman, wearing a T-shirt and a mini-skirt, and also sporting goggles on her head.
Asshlu, deputy commander of the Revolutionary Army's East Army, mainly responsible for intelligence work.
"Asshlu!"
After glancing at the dozen East Army Members who had come before him, Dragon got straight to the point: "Immediately take the Dadan Family and Monkey D. Luffy to a safe place. The entire East Blue Marine has been mobilized, so be careful!"
"Yes!"
Asshlu did not delay in the slightest, turning and leaving decisively.
"Belo Betty, lead ten of your subordinates and return to Foosha Village with me!"
At this point, Dragon's aura suddenly surged, sweeping away his previous low spirits, and he continued with extreme Haki: "We will meet this young master of the Nerona Family!"
"Yes!"
Belo Betty stepped forward, simultaneously raising her hand to remove the goggles from her hat and put them over her eyes. The ten East Army Members behind her also took out their goggles and put them on.
"Depart!"
After the last East Army Member put on his goggles, Dragon decisively gave the order.
As his voice fell, a hurricane rose from the ground, like a roaring giant Dragon, instantly enveloping Belo Betty and the others, sweeping towards Foosha Village at an astonishing speed... Holy Land, House of Flowers.
Saturn has been a bit busy these past few days.
Because he has to come to the House of Flowers every day to report Ian's whereabouts to Imu.
And so, having received the latest updates on Ian, he rushed to the House of Flowers without stopping, standing outside the pavilion in the garden.
"Has my son reached Goa Kingdom?"
Before Saturn could speak, Imu, who was sitting in the pavilion with a magic book in hand, slightly raised her eyes, "Is everything well?"
"The young master is well!"
Saturn bowed, then continued: "However, at the welcoming banquet prepared for the young master in Goa Kingdom, one of the nobles kept babbling and trying to curry favor while the young master was dining, angering the young master, who shot him dead on the spot! Furthermore, the young master also… at the banquet, and then personally shot and executed the princess's fiancé!"
Imu waved her hand, saying nonchalantly: "There is no need to report such matters to Imu. My son is at an age of vigorous energy, and it is his first time leaving the Holy Land in nineteen years, so it is natural for him to lose control of his emotions. Besides, what is my son's status? It is their honor to be favored by my son! As for that noble, if he was killed, then he was killed!"
"Yes, Lord Imu!"
Saturn bowed and changed the subject: "After the young master favored the princess of Goa Kingdom, he suddenly ordered Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Gion to go to Mt. Colubo to apprehend a young boy named Monkey D. Luffy! According to intelligence received from agents, this boy's full name is Monkey D. Luffy, he is the son of revolutionary army leader Dragon, and has been fostered by Garp in a mountain bandit family on Mt. Colubo all these years."
After recounting everything that happened in Goa Kingdom, Saturn secretly wiped a bead of sweat, and cautiously said: "Because Monkey D. Luffy was transferred early, the young master stayed overnight at a woman named Makino's house after going to Foosha Village."
Upon hearing this, even Imu, who had lived for eight hundred years, couldn't help but twitch her mouth slightly.
He had just favored the princess in the palace of Goa Kingdom during the day, and then ran to Foosha Village at night to favor a lowly village girl?
Her precious son's energy truly wasn't ordinary!
Although Imu wore a face covering, Saturn did not see the slight twitch of Imu's mouth beneath it, but he still sensed something unusual from the fluctuation in Imu's eyes, and quickly said: "Lord Imu, after the young master leaves Foosha Village, your subordinate will immediately send agents to eliminate this lowly commoner who dared to touch the young master's body."
"Hmm?" Imu frowned slightly, "Saturn, since when did you learn to second-guess Imu's thoughts? What lowly commoner? It's just a status. If my son fancies this woman, then give her the status of a Celestial Dragon, and let her come to the Holy Land to serve by my son's side!"
"Oh, and the princess of Goa Kingdom too, bring her back to the Holy Land as well. Anyway, all the handmaidens around my son are princesses, so a few more won't make a difference."
Upon hearing this, Saturn also couldn't help but twitch his mouth wildly.
If this matter had happened in the past, let alone a lowly commoner, even if a maiden from one of the nineteen Celestial Dragon families in the Holy Land had actively approached Ian, their Lord Imu would have executed her on the grounds of defiling Ian's body.
But as long as it was a woman Ian fancied, Imu would decisively cast aside the notions of status and position, with everything centered on Ian's preferences. As long as Ian liked her, even a female slave could rise to become a phoenix.
"From now on, there is no need to report such matters. You only have one thing to do now: no matter what my son wants to do, you must unconditionally obey his orders! If he wants to capture the son of the revolutionary army leader, then you will deploy CP units and have all the Marines in the East Blue fully cooperate. If his target is Dragon, not only must you spare no effort, but the God's Knights must also be on standby at all times!"
Pausing slightly, Imu suddenly changed the subject, her gaze instantly becoming sharp and piercing, "Having managed the Chamber of the Five Elders for so many years, you were completely unaware that Garp had a grandson!!"
Before Imu finished speaking, Saturn felt his legs weaken, and then with a thud, he fell to his knees, trembling: "Your subordinate is incompetent."
"You are indeed incompetent!"
Imu coldly snorted, and at the same time, decisively rose, flicked her sleeve, turned, and walked out of the pavilion, "When my son returns from the East Blue, let him take charge of the Chamber of the Five Elders and participate in all World Government affairs. The five of you will fully assist him, and if there is any negligence, Imu will reclaim your lives!"
