"Hm?" Hearing there was new coverage on Sky Sovereign Rowen, Hancock took the newspaper, her beautiful eyes narrowing as she read.

"What is it?" Elder Nyon asked.

"Marine Headquarters... was attacked," Hancock murmured.

"WHAT??" Elder Nyon, Sandersonia, and Marigold gasped in unison.

Though they could get newspapers in the Calm Belt, their delivery was slower than in other seas.

The paper Hancock held detailed the attack on Marine HQ.

Sandersonia and Marigold, despite having collected this report, hadn’t read it themselves.

It was their firm conviction that their Elder Sister should always see the news firsthand. Hearing this shocking revelation now, they were stunned.

Marine Headquarters—that monolithic entity—was attacked??

The man who would dare do such a thing... Elder Nyon, Sandersonia, and Marigold swallowed hard.

Sky Sovereign Rowen!

Only an Emperor-like man—the one who had already wiped Enies Lobby from the map, would act with such wanton disregard.

The last man to act madly was the legendary pirate from Roger’s era, Golden Lion Shiki. But Shiki was defeated and imprisoned in Impel Down.

And since this report was one they collected about Rowen, the attacker could only be him.

<><><><><><><><>

"W-What was the result?" Elder Nyon swallowed hard again.

Marine HQ. That was the Navy’s main base!

Though Enies Lobby was also hailed as unbreached for 800 years, its military strength couldn’t compare to Marine HQ’s.

Even the legendary Golden Lion Shiki was defeated there.

"Sky Sovereign Rowen didn’t appear in person. He just used his Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, and it threw Marine Headquarters into chaos—" Hancock stated, looking at the report, her red lips pressed together.

"As expected of the World’s Strongest Devil Fruit User," Elder Nyon marveled.

This horrifying long-range destructive power was astonishing.

It was almost like a legendary Ancient Weapon. Though perhaps not as powerful, its deterrent effect was no less potent.

As a former member of the Rocks Pirates, Elder Nyon knew something about the Ancient Weapons. They too required a massive energy source to power their attacks—

—But a Devil Fruit’s fuel was just the user’s stamina. And Rowen was a Door-Door Fruit user—a man who could control space.

His movements were even more unpredictable than an Ancient Weapon’s. His overall deterrent power was frightening.

The title ’Man Who Controls Space’ had spread across the seas after Rowen’s complete victory in the Enies Lobby battle.

Knowing this, Elder Nyon’s understanding of Rowen’s terrifying power grew even deeper. She knew the Door-Door Fruit on its own only granted the user the power of spatial manipulation.

But when combined with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit—it transformed into a humanoid super-disaster.

No one could track his movements—they could only be passively beaten.

And Sky Sovereign Rowen was also an Ultimate Human, with intellect rivaling Sengoku the Buddha.

Just thinking about it made Elder Nyon feel how scary Sky Sovereign Rowen was...

<><><><><><><><>

"WAIT A MINUTE!" Elder Nyon’s eyes widened.

"Is the mandatory Warlord summons—to start an all-out war with Sky Sovereign Rowen??" she swallowed hard, her eyes filled with horror.

"Hm??" Hancock, Sandersonia, and Marigold’s pupils constricted simultaneously.

All-out war??

The mandatory summons wouldn’t explain the details of the war to the Warlords. It was still top secret. And Hancock, unlike Doflamingo, had no information network. But combining the intel they had now, this was the only logical reason for a mandatory Warlord summons.

"Granny Nyon, to deal with just Sky Sovereign Rowen, do they need to mobilize such forces?"

Sandersonia asked, unable to comprehend.

Marine HQ alone should be enough, right??

Why summon the Warlords too??

"Girl! Don’t Underestimate An Emperor! The Navy’s Crushing Defeat At Enies Lobby Is The Best Example! Facing This Man, Even Marine HQ Must Be Extremely Cautious! One Wrong Move Could Lead To Devastating Losses!" Elder Nyon roared.

Thinking back to the descriptions of Rowen in the Enies Lobby battle reports, Sandersonia and Marigold also swallowed hard.

It seemed that was indeed the case...

A military force of—ten thousand elites, five Vice Admirals, and one Admiral—was almost completely annihilated.

"At Marine Headquarters... will I be able to see that man?" Hancock’s beautiful eyes flickered.

"Hah!" Hancock stood up.

FWOOSH!

Hancock stood up.

"Elder Sister?" Sandersonia and Marigold looked at Hancock, shocked.

"I... will go," Hancock stated, her eyes shining.

A man who would directly attack the stronghold of the Celestial Dragons, Mariejois!

This man had shown the world that the Celestial Dragons were not so high and mighty!

Haki could defeat others, and it could defeat Celestial Dragons too!

Because of Rowen’s actions, her inner demons had been greatly alleviated. This was the first man on these seas who had the guts to openly attack the Celestial Dragons—

—Not just one, but all of them in their very stronghold, Mariejois, suppressing them with Conqueror’s Haki!

Hancock had long wanted to meet this legendary man...

And now... this might be the only chance in her lifetime!

"Elder Sister??" Sandersonia and Marigold cried out.

Elder Nyon sighed in relief, though her expression was complex. She had been the one to bring the three sisters back to Amazon Lily.

Though Hancock often threw her out—she undoubtedly viewed Hancock as family. But for the sake of Amazon Lily, Hancock had to respond to the summons. And Hancock was now a Warlord—she shouldn’t be in danger.

’But... Snake Princess’s expression... why does it seem a bit strange?’ Elder Nyon looked at Hancock’s shining eyes, blinking.

But before she could figure it out, Hancock had already started walking towards the warship.
