After the first interaction with international superstars, Guan Yi immediately started the second one, continuing to follow Yujiro Hanma on the battlefield.

There are no shortcuts in physical training. Guan Yi spent nearly a year navigating through gunfire, artillery shells, and missiles, breaking bones and healing bullets. The scars on his body resembled those from his training with Rayleigh, crisscrossing and numerous.

This was the first time he had completed his second training, increasing his physical enhancement to 30%.

With insufficient life points to activate the third international superstar interaction, Guan Yi did not immediately 'renew' the other two, but instead returned his consciousness to the One Piece world.

In the world of One Piece, he was soaring through the skies above Punk Hazard in his blazing eagle form, heading towards Whole Cake Island. The moment his consciousness returned, Guan Yi sensed something was amiss.

The wings of fire suddenly hovered in mid-air, then folded back to their source. The pale white flames, like gentle flowing water, quickly shed their raptor form, coalescing into a core humanoid silhouette.

Wearing a martial robe made in the world, Guan Yi stood in mid-air, slowly clenching his fists.

A crackling sound rang out as the air in Guan Yi's palm was crushed, and all the muscles in his body trembled slightly. It felt as if his bones were being forged by an invisible giant hammer, and his muscle fibers were constantly being torn and reformed.

Unlike the ideological shift that occurred when skills were enhanced, the physical enhancement manifested itself in a more brutal way! As if he had completed years of training in an instant, Guan Yi began a rapid transformation!

Just a dozen seconds later, he felt his body was several times lighter than before, and the world before him was several times clearer. The texture of the power in his clenched fists was completely different from before.

It's like a complete transformation!
Physical enhancements go beyond just strength.

Besides muscle strength, a person's physique also includes bone strength, resistance to blows, body coordination, and many other aspects.

The 30% increase in strength brought about by Guan Yi's already admiral-level physique was an enormous boost. Guan Yi even had the urge to go and compete with Kaido in brute force!

In addition, the strength of the physique is directly linked to the strength of the Armament Haki. The red and black Armament Haki covering his fists is almost comparable to Garp's Iron Fist. The impact of the downward swing stopped Guan Yi's downward trend and sent him soaring into the sky!
Rumbling--

Hundreds of meters below, the seawater churned, creating a bowl-shaped crater hundreds of meters in diameter.

Before the seawater could surge back and forth, arcs of purplish-black electricity exploded around Guan Yi, clearly dividing the sea below into distinct fault lines!

More than a year of battlefield training has clearly increased Guan Yi's Conqueror's Haki. The improvement in his physique and the progress in his strength have also caused his Conqueror's Haki, which represents the aura of a strongman, to rise once again.

Powerful, more powerful than ever.

Guan Yi really wants to find someone to fight!
A few minutes later, Guan Yi's breathing calmed down, and the turbulent seawater gradually returned to normal. Guan Yi looked at the plan and hesitated for a moment.

His original plan was to spend another year building up the infrastructure after the two interactions with world-class stars, bringing everything to its peak, and then try to challenge Guo Haihuang to completely reach the pinnacle of skill.

But now the effect of improving physical fitness is much more significant than improving skills, and the life value is only 23,000 short. Should we try to save up some more and start the third international superstar interaction first?
At present, Guan Yi still doesn't have a guaranteed victory if he challenges Guo Haihuang...

Just as Guan Yi was hesitating, a prompt suddenly appeared in the plan.

[Hit Value +31000]

Current Hit Points: 107996

"?" After a brief moment of surprise, Guan Yi immediately realized—something had happened! Gaining a full 31000 life points was no small matter; most likely, something had happened in Whole Cake Island, or perhaps Kaido and Big Mom had obtained the fourth Road Poneglyph.

The reason Guan Yi dared to stay on Whitebeard's ship for several months was not because he didn't care about the lives of his allies, but because he knew that the gain of life points would give him an immediate reminder if anything happened.

It's just perfect; it's like a pillow coming to someone who's sleepy. This time, Guan Yi doesn't have to worry about what to choose.

'What happened? An enemy attack or...? It should only take about half an hour to get back to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand at full speed from here, that should be enough time, before then...'

Activate the third international superstar interaction!

……

hours ago.

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

When Kizaru received Sengoku's message and arrived at the Fleet Admiral's office, the scene he saw immediately startled him. The seat that usually belonged to the Fleet Admiral was now occupied by someone else.

He was an elderly man dressed in a light-colored aristocratic suit. His light-colored long hair formed two straight, spiky spikes on either side of his head, with a very tall, forward-curving spike at the top. His face was covered in wrinkles, and he wore sunglasses, making it impossible to see his expression.

Just sitting there calmly, an extraordinary aura emanated from him. Kizaru immediately guessed the man's origins and looked at Sengoku and Tsuru, who were standing below him.

"Borusalino, are your injuries fully healed?" Sengoku asked with concern before introducing, "This is the Commander-in-Chief of the Knights of God, Lord Figarando Gringu."

As expected, it's the Commander-in-Chief? I feel like I've heard that name before. Is he the legendary figure from God Valley? It seems like something extraordinary is about to happen, even such an important person has come.

As a Marine Admiral, Kizaru was naturally aware of the existence of the 'Knights of God'.

That is a special military organization belonging to the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles. It has the power to judge Celestial Dragons and is an extremely mysterious and powerful legion. Every member is an elite Celestial Dragon.

"Lord Gringu," Kizaru greeted Gringu first before saying, "My injuries are no longer a problem. Fleet Admiral Sengoku, is there a new mission for me to complete?"

Grimm did not speak, but simply sat there quietly, waiting for Sengoku to explain.

Sengoku, with a serious expression, slowly nodded and said, "Ah. After the last battle, I sent people to negotiate with Kaido and Charlotte Linlin many times, hoping to exchange Kuzan and Garp for Hanafzai, but I have never received a definite answer."

They're probably stalling for time to find the fourth Road Poneglyph. The Navy can't be led by the nose by the enemy, and we can't hope to destroy the alliance of three pirate emperors with a single decisive battle! So I plan to take the initiative, just like when those three attacked you last time—a surprise attack on Whole Cake Island!

"A surprise attack on the entire world?" Kizaru moved his lips, raised his hands, and said in a strange tone, "Spare me, Fleet Admiral. My injuries from the last battle have only just healed, and I don't want to be surrounded by those three monsters again~"

"Don't worry," Sengoku said. "According to the intelligence we've received, Ian the Flame Tiger has been gone from Whole Cake Island for several months now, and his whereabouts are unknown. A few days ago, an unknown chaos broke out in Wano Country, and Kaido also left Whole Cake Island. Now, Whole Cake Island only has Charlotte Linlin as the Pirate Emperor."

Even considering the worst-case scenario, Ian the Fire Tiger is merely hiding his tracks and is still in Whole Cake Island, so Kaido's departure is certain.

Besides, the Navy will only be sending you as support in this operation. Your primary mission is to rescue Kuzan and Garp. If you have the capacity to do so afterward, then you can participate in the hunt for Charlotte Linlin!

Hunting down...the Pirate Emperor?!

What a terrible plan! It seems the last defeat angered the Marshal.

How could he not be angry? Even a clay figure has a temper. Even Kizaru was holding back his anger over the last defeat.

Three pirate emperors, lacking any sense of martial ethics, suddenly attacked me. What can I do?
So this is a tit-for-tat counter-attack? The Navy only deployed me, and as a support force, which means...

"The commander of the Knights of God, Saint Shamrock, has personally led the operation," Sengoku nodded.

"If necessary."

Seated in the marshal's seat, Saint Greene slowly spoke: "I, too, will personally take action!"
