...

On a deserted island somewhere in the first half of the Grand Line, a peculiar group of guests disembarked.

The diverse group that Noir had rescued proved to be remarkably skilled.

Among them, individuals of various races could be found who possessed experience as shipwrights.

The Longarm Tribe members, in particular, displayed an exceptional talent for shipbuilding, their craftsmanship exceeding that of ordinary humans, perhaps due to some inherent racial ability.

They worked diligently, repairing the warships and meticulously checking for any potential tracking devices planted by the Marines.

Meanwhile, Noir was setting the stage for his next act.

He had abducted a total of thirty-seven Celestial Dragons from Mary Geoise. Now, with their sacks removed, they were lined up on their knees, their faces a mixture of fear and conceit.

Despite their panic, their limited intelligence led them to spew threats and promises of revenge against Noir and his crew.

Noir ignored their barking, calmly putting on a pair of black gloves and changing into a clean, gray turtleneck.

The Celestial Dragons grew increasingly uneasy. Not only was Noir completely unfazed by their threats, but none of the people around them seemed afraid either.

One Celestial Dragon, spitting with rage, roared at the man standing next to him, "Release me at once! Or I'll slaughter your entire family and feed their corpses to the pigs!"

Without hesitation, the man punched the Celestial Dragon in the face, sending the bloated figure flying.

"We don't have families anymore. All Celestial Dragons deserve to die..."

The man's voice trembled with rage, his eyes bloodshot as he raised his fist to strike again.

Puff, his frail body trembling, stepped forward. His grip was surprisingly strong as his webbed hand clamped down on the man's arm. "Do not interfere with the Savior's plans," he said in a low, steady voice.

The man's fist clenched and unclenched before he finally relented, trusting in Noir's instructions. He wiped away his tears and returned to his place among the other freed slaves.

The Celestial Dragon, watching his companion get beaten, and seeing the murderous glares of those surrounding him, finally fell silent.

Noir straightened his clothes and offered words of comfort to the man who had lashed out. "Don't worry, the Celestial Dragons will pay for their crimes."

He then turned to Puff. "How are the arrangements coming along?"

"I've managed to hijack the Den Den Mushi lines for that island," Puff replied calmly. "But the connection will be brief. If you have a message, you'll need to deliver it quickly."

Noir smiled and nodded. "To achieve this under such conditions... As expected of Mr. Puff."

Puff bowed his head humbly. "It was my duty."

Noir stretched, then sat down in front of the Visual Den Den Mushi. "Let's begin."

...

Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters, Sengoku stared in shock at his two injured Admirals.

Half of Kuzan's hair was singed, his body covered in burns and cuts. But most alarmingly, his leg had been cleanly severed!

As for Kizaru... he seemed...
