After learning about the Ancient Weapon Pluton, Dragon's interest in spectating the battle waned.

If not for the fact that the Beast God Pirates' future actions would affect the Revolutionary Army's plans in the New World, Dragon might have already been unable to restrain himself from heading straight to Wano Country.

"Sabo, Koala, Iva, you three go to Wano Country first. Robin, you go too. While the Beast God Pirates' main forces are all in Totto Land, there shouldn't be any high-level combatants there. Investigate the Pluton thoroughly—we must find it!" Dragon calculated for a moment before turning to address the group behind him.

"Understood, Dragon. Aren't you coming?" Ivankov asked hesitantly.

Dragon looked downward and said slowly, "I'll observe a bit longer. Caesar has invited so many people here—it's unlikely he's simply hosting a Tea Party."

Robin hesitated but still spoke up, "Dragon-san, please ensure Luffy's safety."

Dragon looked up at Robin and gave a slightly stiff smile.

"Of course, Luffy is my child. Don't worry, Robin. You go with Sabo and Iva to Wano Country first. If there's any news about Pluton, notify me immediately."

Sabo immediately turned to the silent Law.

"Trafalgar, we'll have to trouble you again."

Law didn't speak, merely nodding lightly.

Holding his long sword with one hand, he extended the other and spread his fingers.

"Room."

This time, instead of a dome-like spatial field, a rectangular dark passage appeared, directly connecting to the sky several kilometers away.

Whoosh!

With a soft sound, everyone except Dragon vanished in an instant.

When they reappeared, they were already several kilometers high in the sky.

"Trafalgar, has your ability advanced again? You've completely mastered your awakened Devil Fruit power. To perform such long-distance teleportation so effortlessly is practically instant movement. Using this for travel is incredibly efficient."

Sabo couldn't help but marvel.

Beside him, Koala, who suddenly lost the wind barrier beneath her feet, turned pale with fright as she plummeted downward.

Koala hastily grabbed Sabo's thigh, nearly pulling his pants down in the process.

Law showed no intention of speaking, merely expanding his Room space again to continuously transport everyone.

Soon, they arrived dozens of miles away, appearing on a ship.

It was the Revolutionary Army's Flagship 'Win Granma', anchored there.

"Great, this area isn't frozen. We can head straight to Wano Country."

On the ship, Robin couldn't help but glance back in the direction they'd come from.

Dragon's figure was long out of sight.

Earlier, when mentioning the Pluton, Robin had inexplicably sensed something peculiar about Dragon.

It was hard to describe, but compared to the Dragon she knew before, he seemed different.

The Dragon of the past, though authoritative and dignified, was genuinely a man of cold exterior but warm heart.

Whether dealing with Revolutionary Army members or citizens of allied nations, Dragon had always been full of tolerance.

But today, Robin sensed a trace of unfamiliarity in him.

That's why she had brought up Luffy in front of Dragon.

Before this, Robin would never have worried that Dragon might abandon his own son.

'Dragon has changed. I don't know if it's for better or worse. Not telling him about Shirahoshi was probably the right choice. If Dragon gains control of the Pluton, will his Revolutionary Army remain the same organization that promotes justice and maintains peace in the world?'

Robin's thoughts were complicated.

She didn't know whether a person or an organization, upon obtaining power far beyond their expectations, would find rebirth or destruction awaiting them.

Just like that Caesar—clearly such a formidable figure, yet now driven to madness by his own power.

'I'm not sure if it was right or wrong to share the information about Pluton with the Revolutionary Army. I'm just worried about Luffy. I keep feeling there's some secret about him, something related to his Devil Fruit—what exactly is this Sun God Nika? Why is the World Government, no, even Dragon, so concerned about it?'

But Dragon is different from the World Government—he's Luffy's father.

Logically speaking, what Dragon should care about is Luffy himself.

However, Robin could clearly sense that Dragon seemed more concerned about Luffy's abilities than his own son at the moment.

A look of worry crossed Robin's face as Dragon's indifferent expression flashed through her mind, gradually giving rise to a chilling thought.

'Both the World Government and Dragon appear to be waiting for Luffy to advance further, waiting for his 'Sun God Nika abilities' to break through once more.'

'Luffy... If, if Shirahoshi could be under Luffy's control, then... then he would possess the means to stand against both the World Government and the Revolutionary Army. Perhaps this is Luffy's only hope!'

*****

In the Karai bari Sea, a massive warship lay frozen in the ice, immobilized.

Though there weren't many Marine soldiers on deck, the two figures exuding an aura as unshakable as bedrock and as volatile as a volcano turned the vessel into an impregnable fortress.

"Major battles have been raging ahead. Are we just going to wait here? Garp, don't you think this is the perfect opportunity to wipe out the pirates in one fell swoop?"

On the deck, Akainu, puffing on a cigar with his arms crossed, gazed into the far distance.

Though his vision wasn't sharp enough to see the situation on Banana Island, his instincts as a top-tier fighter and his powerful Observation Haki allowed him to clearly sense the tremors reverberating through the air.

Garp lounged on a deck chair, a hat covering his face as if he were resting.

"Wipe them out? Don't be naive, Sakazuki. You know exactly how many scums have gathered here. Aramaki has gone to scout the situation. Be patient and wait for her report. If there's a real opportunity, taking a small risk might be worth it. I, for one, would gladly trade my life for Caesar's death."

BOOM!!

As they spoke, a massive black shadow suddenly streaked across the distant ice at incredible speed, covering an unfathomable distance in an instant before slamming into the warship's hull.

With a deafening crash, a gaping hole dozens of meters wide appeared in the ship's side, sending wooden splinters flying.

The entire vessel was jolted free from the ice, tilting precariously.

Worse yet, the violent impact triggered explosions in the stored ammunition within the ship's storage rooms.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

Amid the expanding flames and eruptions, the entire warship exploded in an instant, sending a colossal mushroom cloud into the sky.
