Carl truly wasn't worried about the Straw Hats leading everyone into a catastrophe! Law had once asked Carl about this, and Carl's answer was clear: as long as you are strong enough, all disasters are meaningless.
Indeed, if one is strong enough, any catastrophe can be easily overcome, so there is no need to worry. However, if the ship were to actually capsize due to their messing around, how effective could a boatload of Devil Fruit users be?
Law had no choice but to call for Momoo, asking the giant sea creature to catch up with their submarine. Otherwise, they would surely be lost!
The shaking of the Thousand Sunny woke Nami, who was resting. When she came out, she was furious. She went forward and punched every single one of them. Even Carl couldn't escape her wrath. Carl was innocent, but Nami's reasoning was strong: indulging their behavior was wrong.
"Nami, the deep-sea feast!" Luffy couldn't help but plead.
"Even if you want to eat, you can't ignore safety! What if the ship's coating membrane breaks?" Nami reprimanded.
But it was obviously too late to turn back now. The strange fish was dragging the ship randomly, and they had no idea where the Thousand Sunny was being taken. Fortunately, at that moment, huge whales suddenly appeared and knocked the strange fish unconscious.
Then, a whale happened to pass directly beneath the Thousand Sunny and Law's submarine. Whether intentionally or not, it began to ascend, carrying both ships upward with it.
"Hahahaha! These whales really look like Uncle Whitebeard!" Luffy pointed at the whales and laughed.
"Don't even say it, but they really do look alike!" Everyone was slightly surprised.
Carl even took the opportunity to snap a few photos, thinking it would be fun to show Whitebeard later and tease him.
In this way, pulled by the strange fish and then carried by the whale, the Straw Hat Pirates soon broke through the sea surface, and the ship's membrane instantly disintegrated.
The New World! They had arrived!
"Sanji! Deep-sea cuisine!" Luffy shouted immediately.
"Oh! Leave it to me!" Sanji didn't hesitate and quickly disassembled the strange fish. A large amount of fish meat was piled into the refrigerator, and more was quickly prepared into dishes. Before long, plates of fish were served to everyone, with some even delivered to the submarine.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! Deep-sea food is delicious!"
After eating the delicious meal, everyone felt their spirits lifted. Even the Heart Pirates were deeply immersed in the deliciousness and couldn't pull themselves away.
If others knew the situation of the Straw Hats, they would certainly be shocked. They had just arrived in the New World, yet instead of worrying about their safety, they were calmly enjoying a feast. They were simply too composed!
During the meal, Carl received a call. Surprisingly, it was Sabo calling again.
Luffy was too busy eating meat, so Carl found a corner to connect with Sabo. He hung up the phone after only a few words. Sabo was in a rush, but even though he didn't say much, the information he provided was valuable.
However, Carl didn't rush to share the news but continued to eat.
After a full meal, the next step was to decide the route.
Nami looked at the upgraded Log Pose in her hand and chose the most stable direction among the three needles. However, Luffy had overheard Jinbe's explanation earlier, and he wouldn't allow Nami to take control.
"Huo huo, the needle pointing in this direction is shaking a lot, so let's go in this direction!" Luffy laughed.
"Luffy! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" The trio of Nami, Usopp, and Chopper protested, practically in tears.
But Luffy insisted, so Nami had no choice but to give Franky instructions to sail in the direction where the needle wobbled the most.
Carl flew over to the deck of Law's submarine.
"Captain Carl, what is it?" Law asked curiously.
"Oh, I just received some intelligence about Doflamingo ," Carl said meaningfully. "To counter the Straw Hats, that guy is putting on a spectacle. Soon, the Dressrosa Arena will hold a massive martial arts competition, and the prize for the winner is the Multiplied Fruit!"
Law was taken aback for a moment, then sneered. "Heh heh, that really is an attention-seeking move. That Devil Fruit has great appeal to many organizations, and Doflamingo wants to use it to disrupt our plan against him. If my guess is right, the day we arrive at Dressrosa will be the moment the battle begins!"
Carl nodded affirmatively at Law's guess. Doflamingo would definitely do this; this was exactly what Carl meant by the "spectacle" operation.
That day, Dressrosa was going to be extremely lively. There would be various powerful groups present, such as the Marines, the World Government, the Revolutionary Army, and many Pirates. If the Straw Hats planned to confront Doflamingo then, who knew how many people would try to protect him?
It went without saying that the Marines and the World Government would certainly help Doflamingo fight the Straw Hat Pirates. As for the pirates, there would likely be members from the Blackbeard Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Beasts Pirates. There would be many enemies.
Aside from Kaido's Beasts Pirates, Carl wasn't sure if Doflamingo had existing deals with Blackbeard or Big Mom. Of course, the Revolutionary Army members would be allies. If anyone from the Whitebeard Pirates was there, they would also be allies.
By then, Dressrosa would become a super battlefield, and the scale of the fight might be comparable to the Summit War. Though there might not be as many foot soldiers, the battle would primarily involve high-ranking figures.
"Truly exciting!"
"We're going to Dressrosa no matter what, right?" Carl asked, smiling with anticipation.
Carl was looking forward to fighting strong opponents. Ever since he joined the Straw Hats, he had become unconsciously more belligerent, which was quite a change from his previous cautious nature. This shift was due to one reason: his immense power. Possessing great strength and pursuing greater strength required fighting, and battling the strong was essential!
Law nodded firmly. "That's right! We must go to Dressrosa! I will take Doflamingo's head to avenge Corazon!"
Carl flew back to the Thousand Sunny soon after.
At this point, the heading had been set, and they were sailing in the direction of the most violently wobbling Log Pose needle, chosen by Luffy.
Carl had a vague premonition that there was certainly something significant waiting ahead. However, they had just entered the New World and didn't know their exact location, so Carl couldn't predict the future.
"Hey, everyone, check out the new newspaper and the updated bounty posters!"
Usopp fell from a high place, having apparently encountered a news bird while on lookout in the sky and bought a paper.
Everyone immediately gathered around, frowning when they saw the photo of Blackbeard on the front page of the newspaper. Reading the article, they were dumbfounded. The article clearly declared Blackbeard's status as a Sixth Emperor, proclaiming the arrival of the Era of the Six Emperors!
Carl had previously bought this same news from the blackmail news vendor, but he hadn't expected it to be published in a full newspaper. He had to admit that the News King, Morgans, was very courageous; he clearly wasn't worried that the Marines and the World Government would seize his newspaper office.
