Meanwhile, Kizaru, Akainu, and CP9, using Geppo, flew towards Marineford.
They expected to meet White Dove Ryuya there.
After about half an hour, they saw a large warship rapidly approaching.
Ryuya was lounging in a sun chair, looking relaxed.
Sensing approaching presences, he sat up.
Casually surveying the disheveled members, Ryuya looked at Kizaru, "If I remember correctly, Kalifa participated. Where is she?"
An aura emanated from Ryuya.
He had switched to his White Dove persona.
As for Water 7, no, Water Nation, Zero only needed to stay a few days to settle things.
So Ryuya switched to White Dove.
Hearing White Dove, Lucci was stunned.
He looked behind him. Kalifa wasn't there.
Then, Ryuya's Den Den Mushi rang.
It simulated Kalifa's appearance.
"Ryuya~"
Kalifa's coquettish voice came through.
"Kalifa, where are you?"
"I just left Water 7. It's Water Nation now."
Ryuya knew this. But as White Dove, he feigned ignorance.
"What happened?"
Kalifa recounted what she saw in Water 7.
Ryuya, knowing this was his doing, showed no expression.
Kizaru, Akainu, Gion were stunned.
Zero's ambition was immense!
The implication was that Zero knew about Pluton.
He wanted to seize the island, and use Water 7's shipbuilding technology to build it!
Everyone was amazed by Zero's actions.
Ryuya didn't care. He said to Kalifa, "Where are you? Should I pick you up?"
This warm message reached Kalifa.
Kalifa said softly, "No, I've left Water 7. I'm coming to you. I see you!"
Ryuya looked up. Kalifa descended from the sky, hugging Ryuya.
"Ryuya, I missed you! I'll quit CP9 and stay with you!"
If she didn't stay with Ryuya, she feared she'd lose her place.
She heard Ryuya had many women around him.
Like Gion.
Kalifa glared at Gion.
Gion was bewildered.
"I was too slow. If I had persisted…"
Ryuya sighed and called Sengoku.
The Den Den Mushi connected instantly.
"White Dove, did you stop it?"
"No. Kizaru and Akainu couldn't stop the second wave, so they retreated. This severely damaged the Navy's reputation. Kalifa did well. She stayed in Water 7, observing."
Ryuya recounted Kalifa's words to Sengoku.
Sengoku was furious.
"Audacious! A new organization's leader dares to declare a kingdom! Tell Kizaru, Akainu, and CP9 (except Kalifa), they'll be punished upon their return."
Sengoku was frustrated.
As Fleet Admiral, his operations rarely succeeded, except when White Dove was involved.
White Dove's success was due to his strength, not Sengoku's strategy.
This frustrated Sengoku.
Then, a loud boom echoed outside Marineford.
Sengoku went to the window.
A huge, muscular figure with black hair,
dragon-like horns, long beard, dragon scale tattoo, a cross scar,
purple robe, gold chains, green pants, and a purple fur cape,
Kaido appeared before Sengoku.
"White Dove, Kizaru, Akainu, return to Marineford! Kaido's here!"
Kizaru and Akainu's hearts sank.
Kaido chose Marineford's weakest moment to attack!
It would be difficult to return!
But they had to.
"Understood, Fleet Admiral. We're returning!"
Ryuya ordered the warship to turn towards Marineford!
Meanwhile, Marineford was in chaos!
Kaido, transformed into a dragon…
