## Chapter 280: Admiral BIG MOM!
"How is it? Did you find anything?"
On another Warship Deck, Mihawk looked at Garp, BIG MOM, Kaido, and King flying towards them, asking without turning his head.
Senior Director Bayer, who was waiting behind him, quickly replied.
"The warships in the other four directions haven't detected any approaching ships or birds, nor have they found any Transponder Snail signals."
Here's the situation: In order to temporarily keep Charlotte Linlin's affiliation with the World Government a secret, they received an Order from the 'Higher-ups' to ensure confidentiality.
So Mihawk positioned the five Flying Warships he brought in various locations to monitor the Sea Surface and the air.
At the same time.
Each Ship had a Horned Transponder Snail activated to block communications and a White Den Den Mushi to prevent eavesdropping.
This was mainly to guard against the News Agency, which claimed to be omnipresent.
Fortunately, Wano Country itself is located in a remote area, and the Sea Area's Climate is extremely harsh. Ordinary Birds cannot operate here at all, and Exploration Ships are even less able to hide themselves in such turbulent waves.
*Whoosh—*
Just then, with a Loud Noise, Garp landed from the air, followed by Charlotte Linlin and the others. Honestly, someone who didn't know might think he wasn't a Marine anymore and was preparing to be the next Rocks.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect there to be someone as agreeable as you among the Celestial Dragons! This Old Man has seen something new!"
The Newly Promoted Iron Fist Admiral Garp showed no reverence towards Mihawk, a Celestial Dragon. Instead, after looking him up and down in surprise, he tilted his head back and laughed loudly.
"You've worked hard, Admiral Garp."
Mihawk didn't mind and greeted him rather politely.
"Uh..."
Garp's Face showed astonishment upon hearing this, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say. Since when did Celestial Dragons have such manners?
"Cough cough, alright. Anyway, according to the Order, This Old Man will stay in Wano Country for a year."
"Then I'll look forward to Admiral Garp's guidance from now on!"
Mihawk looked at Garp with anticipation. This was a Great Expert who could be called the strongest in the Marines. If he could Spar with him every day, it would likely be of considerable Help to the improvement of his Strength.
"Kid, did you tell them over there about my Matter?"
At this moment, Charlotte Linlin flew over, carried by Thunder Cloud 'Zeus'.
Although it was still Gale and Heavy Rain outside, no one cared. Wind and rain were practically a common occurrence for Seafarers in this World.
"You've already been notified."
Mihawk nodded, his calm Gaze meeting the Gaze of this fearsome Woman who was like a Giant. This was quite remarkable, considering that Gion beside him felt somewhat uneasy facing BIG MOM's Gaze.
"The World Government has approved the Totto Land Kingdom's application for Affiliation and a Seat at the Reverie, but this Matter will be officially announced after you finish your Tea Party."
Hearing this, Charlotte Linlin showed a happy Smile, while Garp shook his head, somewhat displeased. However, having already learned about the Multiverse Conquest Strategy, he was helpless.
After all, even he had to admit that this Woman was indeed Strong and one of the few Top Tier Combatants on this Planet Sea.
"Furthermore, although you won't be assigned to the Three Forces, according to the Supreme Military Command's new regulations, all individuals recognized as having Highest Combat Power under the World Government will be granted the Admiral Rank and be under the direct jurisdiction of the Command Department."
"Mamama, alright, alright, as long as you don't bother Mama too much!"
Charlotte Linlin waved her hand dismissively and laughed, "I never thought Mama would become an Admiral one day~~"
As the wicked Woman said this, she playfully glanced at Garp beside her, which made Garp's hand suddenly feel a little itchy, so itchy that he subconsciously clenched his fist.
Seeing that she seemed to have misunderstood something, Mihawk explained, "It's only the Admiral Military Rank, without any corresponding Authority. However, you will be given a custom-made Coat of Justice. It just depends on whether you prefer white, black, or another color."
"I like pink!"
"You can just tell the relevant Department about that later."
Mihawk nodded and continued, "In addition, if you need to, you can head to the Kabaneri World immediately, but the journey to the Red Line must be kept completely secret!"
"That's great! Mama wants to go take a look right now!"
Charlotte Linlin was overjoyed, her eyes filled with Excitement. Then she grabbed Kaido, who was behind her, "Let's go! Quickly take me to that Star Gate Base!"
"No problem!"
Kaido turned back into his Azure Dragon form. It just so happened that he also had something to go to Marineford for. He then said to King, "Do you want to go together?"
King hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice, "Okay, it's been a long time since I've seen the Scenery on top of the Red Line..."
As a Lunarian, he was originally a native of the Red Line, but due to the endless pursuit, he had to go to sea to escape.
He wanted to take a look at the place where he lived as a child.
Soon.
As the two-day Sea battle completely ended, everyone went their separate ways. Garp followed Mihawk and Gion back to Wano Country, while Kaido, King, and 'Big Mom' headed to the Red Line together.
At the same time.
A Flying Warship carrying Queen also followed behind, preparing to take him to Impel Down. Before long, the Biochemical Research Institute on Level 5.5 Underground would gain one more 'black' biochemist. Then they also had to send several Meito to Noah's Ark above Holy Land Mariejois.
About one day later.
Because the Flight Speed of the three (Kaido, King, and Big Mom) was much faster than the Flying Warship, they arrived at the Red Line first. But upon arriving, they immediately saw the super Giant Ship, Noah's Ark, floating in the air.
"What is that thing? Is it a Ship? It's so big!"
Charlotte Linlin and King looked up at the sky in shock. In her eyes, this thing was definitely even bigger than Whole Cake Island.
"I don't know either. I asked the people at the Star Gate Base, and they didn't seem to Understand either, but it's likely prepared for those Celestial Dragons, and it must have utilized Golden Lion Shiki's Ability!"
Kaido looked at Noah's Ark with mixed feelings.
Next, after saying something, King went towards his Hometown alone.
Only the two of them remained, chatting as they continued flying towards Area RL1556. They had no interest at all in taking a look at Mary Geoise, which was just nearby.
The Holy Land Garrison, Army, and Cipher Pol responsible for security had already received advance notice, so not many people came out to intercept them.
Soon, the No.0001 Kabaneri World Star Gate Base appeared before their eyes.
The various facilities here had become increasingly complete and were no longer the previous open-air camp. It had been renovated into a large-scale Stone Wall Fortress, sealed with a 100-meter-high Steel Gate.
Outside, there were also a large number of Army Soldier and various Armored Vehicles responsible for guarding. The Gun Barrels of the Anti-Aircraft Guns were routinely aimed at Kaido and Charlotte Linlin flying over.
"We've arrived!"
Kaido ignored the 'Gaze' of these scraps of metal and directly changed back to human form. The Woman beside him also jumped down from the Thundercloud. Immediately, a pair of Giant man and woman, reaching a Height of seven and eight meters respectively, landed heavily in front of the Base Gate.
"Welcome, both of you. I am Senior Director Addison of this Star Gate Base, and this is Ms. Stussy, who is responsible for helping you pass through the Star Gate."
Two people of normal size, a man and a woman, walked out accompanied by a group of Army and Man in Black. The person who introduced himself as Addison greeted them very politely.
"Help us pass through the Star Gate?"
Charlotte Linlin bent down, looking down at these 'little people' with a curious look. At this moment, that Kaido laughed.
"Worororo, Linlin, you don't know, that Star Gate is only three meters high and two meters wide. With our Body Size, we can't enter. So it requires this Woman to use her Ability to shrink us. That's how I entered back then too!"
"I see..."
