*************
To what extent had the World Governnt been infiltrated by Colt?
The extent can only be described as terrifying.
For the past two years, all intelligence the Five Elders and the Marines received about Colt's location was entirely fabricated.
The Flying Feather arriving at Fish-n Island in such a high-profile manner left the World Governnt utterly unaware.
Any information about it that might have leaked only reached "their own people."
In Ryugu Palace, King Neptune was astonished by Colt's arrival.
He imdiately organized a grand banquet to display his enthusiasm.
Others might not fully understand, but Neptune knew all too well the power Kisa wielded to drive Whitebeard away. How could he not recognize Colt?
Since Kisa's return, Neptune had realigned his position, never ntioning Whitebeard again.
Regardless of what Kisa wanted, Neptune pledged unwavering support.
He treated Fish-n Island as Kisa's territory and issued strict orders to his people: not a word about the God Killer Colt.
The sword attack that nearly killed Whitebeard and Sasuke could have shattered Fish-n Island itself.
Fully understanding Kisa's devotion, Neptune thought to himself, 'If it were , I'd probably worship him even more.'
And now, the opportunity had co.
In record ti, Neptune prepared the grandest feast Fish-n Island had ever seen, with a warm, eager smile fixed on his face.
He was careful not to overdo the flattery, though. Instead, he focused on taking good care of Colt and his companions.

Before long, a cry echoed outside the hall.
"Colt-sama!"
A towering rmaid darted inside, lifting Colt mid-bite as he fed Carrot a piece of carrot cake.
The sudden movent startled Carrot.
"What a big rmaid... and so beautiful!" Carrot exclaid, wide-eyed as she stared at Shirahoshi's perfect, delicate features.
anwhile, Colt found himself fully enveloped in a warm embrace.
"Shirahoshi," Colt said with a chuckle, "it's been two years, and you've grown a lot!"
Shirahoshi's massive form dwarfed everyone in the room.
She was still in her growth phase and yet she had grown nearly two ters taller since Colt last saw her.
The sight left Colt both amazed and slightly overwheld.

Robin and Nami exchanged glances, their expressions filled with smiles.
Shirahoshi blinked her large, tearful eyes and sobbed, "Colt-sama, I didn't want to grow so big, but I can't control it..."
Her heartbreaking expression lted everyone's hearts.
Colt took his ti soothing her, offering gentle reassurances.
She was almost officially adopted to be his little sister by now.
Watching Colt's doting behavior, Neptune couldn't help but grin.
Shirahoshi's connection with Colt ant Fish-n Island's future would be bright.
It even offered hope for fulfilling Queen Otohi's dream of fishn and rmaids living freely on the surface.
****
As the banquet reached its peak, Colt casually dropped a bombshell.
He had been asked why he was coming back.
"Soone plans to destroy Enies Lobby. I'm just here to watch the action live."
The room fell silent, and all eyes turned toward Colt in shock.
Enies Lobby, a cornerstone of the World Governnt's power structure, was one of the most important places for the world governnt.
Its destruction would be catastrophic.
"Colt-sama, do you an the Revolutionary Army?" Neptune asked hesitantly, unable to think of any other possibility.
"You'll see soon enough," Colt replied with a sly smile. "But yes, they're involved."
He didn't elaborate further, steering the conversation to another topic.
"This ti, I'll be taking Shirahoshi with ."
"What?! That's impossible!" Neptune exclaid, leaping to his feet.
"Shirahoshi cannot leave Fish-n Island!"
Realizing his outburst, Neptune imdiately regretted it.
His fear of going against Colt was palpable.
Even Shirahoshi herself was saddened by her father's refusal.
But Colt wasn't angry.
Instead, he calmly addressed Neptune through chakra transmission.
"Neptune, keeping Shirahoshi by my side is the safest choice. What I value is her pure nature, not her title as Poseidon."
Neptune's face turned pale, and he eventually nodded in reluctant agreent.
Upon seeing her father's approval, Shirahoshi's sorrow turned to joy.

Life, like sailing, was rarely smooth-unless you're Kamiyo Colt.
While the Straw Hat Pirates may be the story's protagonists, even they weren't immune to
unexpected twists.
LogueTown, the last stop before entering the Grand Line, held deep significance for Luffy.
It was the place where Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, was executed, marking the start of the Great Pirate Era.
Luffy climbed the execution platform to feel the Pirate King's resolve but was captured by Buggy and Alvida.
The two villains planned a theatrical execution, aiming to humiliate Luffy.
As Buggy's blade descended, Luffy showed no fear.
Instead, he smiled, declaring, "I am the man who will beco the Pirate King!"
The townsfolk were taken aback by his unwavering spirit.
Even Smoker, watching from a distance, was montarily stunned.
For a fleeting mont, Luffy's smile transford, and his face resembled that of the late Gol
D. Roger.
****
Buggy's shock didn't stop him from bringing the blade down.
Zoro and Sanji, rushing to save their captain, found themselves blocked by Buggy's lackeys.
Just as the blade was about to strike, a fierce lightning storm swept over the platform,
shattering it and freeing Luffy.
Amidst the chaos, two figures appeared in the storm clouds.
A bolt of lightning illuminated their faces, revealing one of them—a man with a sharp,
resolute expression.
"Is this the path you've chosen?" the man said, his voice carrying both pride and challenge.
"Then continue forward. Let , your father, send you off."
The leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon, smiled faintly as he looked down at
his son.
