Meanwhile, Trafalgar Law also received the news.
He sat in his submarine, holding a newspaper, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Eternal Kingdom... Ron... this guy's ambition is no small thing," Law murmured softly, a complex glint in his eyes.
"But this might be an opportunity."
He had already begun calculating how to use the Eternal Kingdom's resources to further enhance his own strength.
He knew that Ron's appearance had completely altered the landscape of the sea.
And he had to find his own place in this upheaval.
"Doflamingo, don't think you're the only one who can grow stronger. Prepare yourself..."
...
On the island of baltigo.
The leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon, also learned of the establishment of the Eternal Divine Kingdom.
He stood at the Revolutionary Army's headquarters, holding a newspaper, his face showing a mix of shock and deep thought.
"Ron... actually established a kingdom right under the World Government's nose... This guy's courage and strength are truly extraordinary," Dragon murmured softly, a complex light flickering in his eyes.
"But what exactly is his will? Is it to oppose the World Government, or does he have other schemes?"
Dragon's heart was filled with doubt and curiosity.
He knew that Ron's emergence had already posed a tremendous threat to the World Government's rule.
And the establishment of the Eternal Kingdom was an even greater challenge to the world order.
As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, he had to personally go to the Eternal Divine Kingdom to understand Ron's true intentions.
"Pass down the order, prepare a ship. I'm going to the Eternal Kingdom myself!"
Members of the Revolutionary Army sprang into action, beginning preparations for Dragon's journey.
"Dragon, are you really going?"
"There's no need. We can go instead. You shouldn't take any risks."
"Yeah Dragon, our team captain can check it out."
Dragon shook his head: "You all focus on your own tasks. This time I must go personally."
Seeing his determination, the others said nothing more and could only silently prepare what was needed.
...
Meanwhile, Red-Haired Shanks had also received news of the Eternal Kingdom's establishment.
He sat on his barrel, holding a newspaper in his hand, his face showing a mix of shock and confusion.
"Ron... what exactly is this guy trying to do?" Shanks murmured quietly, a complex light shimmering in his eyes.
"Is this Whitebeard's will, or Ron's own ambition?"
Shanks' heart was filled with doubt and unease.
He knew that Ron's appearance had completely changed the landscape of these seas.
And the establishment of the Eternal Divine Kingdom was already threatening the balance!
As one of the Yonko, he had to personally go to the Eternal Kingdom to understand Ron's true intentions.
"Prepare to set sail, we're going to the Eternal Kingdom!" Shanks frowned as he spoke, unable to go back on his previous promise.
However, just as the Red Hair Pirates were preparing to depart, Shanks suddenly received news that Luffy had been captured.
His face instantly darkened, a flash of anger appearing in his eyes.
"Luffy... captured?!" Shanks' voice carried disbelief and fury. "Damn Five Elders! How dare they lay hands on Luffy!"
Shanks clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles cracking audibly.
He knew that Luffy was Garp's grandson, and also the new generation pirate he had once placed great hopes in.
And now, Luffy had actually been captured by the World Government - this was undoubtedly a huge provocation against him!
"Change course! Head to Mary Geoise!" Shanks' voice was filled with anger. "We must rescue Luffy!"
Beckman frowned, patting Shanks' shoulder as he spoke gravely,
"Shanks, the news about Luffy's capture still needs verification, but the establishment of the Eternal Kingdom is confirmed."
Lucky Roo put down his chicken leg, "Boss, Luffy will be fine. Garp might be unreliable, but he wouldn't just stand by and watch his own grandson get captured."
"The most important thing now is to go to the Eternal Kingdom - that place is becoming the center of the world!" Yasopp set down his sniper rifle with a sigh.
Shanks fell silent.
What they said made sense.
Garp wouldn't abandon Luffy, but he still couldn't stop worrying.
However, the matter of the Eternal Divine Kingdom was equally important now...
After thinking for a moment, he made his decision.
"To the Eternal Kingdom then."
"Boss, what about Luffy?"
After a moment of silence, Shanks spoke, "The path of a pirates has never been smooth sailing."
Everyone nodded silently.
Which of them hadn't weathered storms themselves? It was time for that kid Luffy to be tempered through hardship.
"Then let's set sail for the Eternal Kingdom!"
"Damn Eternal Kingdom! I'll blast it all to pieces!"
"Hahaha! Save your bullets, Yasopp!"
"Speaking of which, Yasopp, since Luffy got captured, how's your son doing?"
"Holy shit! I almost forgot!"
"Bullshit! You were the one who just insisted on going to the Eternal Kingdom!"
"Oh So that's why Yasopp was so eager to go to the Eternal Kingdom - he wants to rescue his son!"
"....."
...
On the vast ocean, a Marine warship was cutting through the waves.
On the deck, Vice Admiral Garp stood before a group of new recruits, arms crossed, his sharp eyes scanning these young faces.
They were all promising talents, just lacking experience through trials and tribulations.
"You brats, don't think you're something special just because you're wearing these uniforms! The Marines' duty is to uphold justice, not to let you slack off! Understood?!"
"Yes! Vice Admiral Garp!" The recruits responded in unison, their voices loud but carrying a hint of nervousness.
They all knew that although Vice Admiral Garp usually seemed easygoing, he showed no mercy during training.
The slightest mistake would earn them a bruised and battered face from his "Fist of Love."
Garp nodded with satisfaction and was about to continue his lecture when suddenly, his adjutant Bogart rushed over in a hurry, his face showing traces of panic.
"Vice Admiral Garp, urgent news!"
Garp frowned and turned to his adjutant.
"Hahaha, Bogart, you're a veteran yet you're still flustered like this. What kind of example is that? How are you going to train these rookies in the future?"
"Please don't tease me, sir." Bogart took a deep breath and lowered his voice.
"We just received news that your grandson... Monkey D. Luffy, has been captured by Blackbeard and has been handed over to the Marines. He's currently being transported to Impel Down!"
"NANIIIIIII?!" Garp's face instantly turned ashen, his fists clenching tightly until his knuckles made cracking sounds.
A flash of furious light appeared in his eyes, like an enraged lion.
"Luffy's been captured?! That bastard Sengoku actually dared to lay hands on my grandson?!"
