"Seems like we already have some reception..." Fujitora murmured, looking at the port that was starting to fill with people. However, only a few of them seemed dangerous, their auras screaming through his Observation Haki.

Lami, Hugo, and Rebecca were approaching as people watched with curiosity, unaware of what would happen regarding the rumor of an admiral coming to Dressrosa.

"Why is the navy showing up now...?" Questions began to arise from the crowd.

"When we were being kept under the Donquixote family's lie, none of them showed up. Now that the country has been saved, they decide to appear?" Another questioned, clenching his fists.

"It doesn't matter if it's an admiral... they are the Straw Hats! You saw how they brought the marines to their knees..." Someone else said.

"Yeah... even so... the navy has a lot of nerve to come here after doing nothing for years... they're such shameless cowards!!" The crowd continued, as everyone focused on the approach of the Straw Hats towards the nearing ship.

"Seems like we're not welcome here..." Fujitora could feel the emotions of the people.

"What did you expect..." Someone behind him commented.

"I'm a bit surprised that you came... Sengoku-san." Fujitora couldn't help but remark.

"This is my duty... after all, all of this happened when I was leading the navy... I see no reason not to come here to redeem myself with this country as well." Sengoku, who at that moment appeared as an older man with white hair, began to recall several marines who came to this country to investigate some disappearances in the records, only to be turned into toys and forgotten, further increasing the strange records.

Sengoku couldn't help but frown at this; after all, he too was responsible, and when he heard that an admiral was coming here on a ship, he joined him and came along.

Sengoku was technically retired, but in reality, he was at the new HQ training new recruits, something similar to what Zeff did. However, the latter left the navy a year ago, and no one knows what he's doing now.

The ship approached the edge of the port as the marines began to slow it down, stopping in front of everyone, while the three Straw Hats stood at the forefront of the gathering crowd. The people made way for King Riku himself, who appeared and approached the Straw Hats.

Everyone just watched as a figure walked with a cane to the edge of the ship and jumped off, landing in front of them.

Landing calmly, another person descended beside him, while the marines began to lower the gangway from the ship, hastily disembarking to accompany their superiors.

Everyone stood in silence, staring at each other, as King Riku walked past the Straw Hats and advanced towards the arriving group.

"What do you want in Dressrosa?" He didn't seem very happy after everything that had happened.

"We came to check on the country. After all, there were even marine prisoners here..." Fujitora spoke in a calm tone.

"You haven't come here in the past years for that. If you wanted the prisoners, you could've just sent a marine ship, not a military force..." He spoke to the admiral in a dark tone.

"Dressrosa still belongs to the World Government... King Riku..." Sengoku was the one to speak from the side.

"You expect that to remain after a Shichibukai enslaved this country?!" He exclaimed, while the Straw Hats remained silent, except for Rebecca, who looked a bit nervous as this was her country. Her father, Kyros, landed beside her, having come as soon as he heard about the arrival of the marines.
