It took less than five minutes.
Under the escort of Sakazuki's warships, merchant ships bearing the flags of major news agencies gradually docked at the shore.
The reporters, dressed in black suits, had just stepped off their ships when they were greeted by the sight of the devastated, oval-shaped military port. Each one was left speechless.
“What happened here?”
“Wasn't today supposed to be the Shichibukai appointment ceremony?”

The ground trembled like a coiled dragon surging beneath the earth, kicking up clouds of dust.
Cracks spread with thunderous roars, ripping through the terrain. Within the swirling haze, a massive crater—dozens of meters wide—came slowly into view, a terrifying sight to behold.
Everyone on site stared in stunned silence, their eyes wide, jaws nearly hitting the floor.

Seeing the Shichibukai all back down, the Marines around the port let out a collective sigh of relief.
“Vice Admiral Daren really has clout...”
“He just showed up and immediately stopped the fight!”
“He truly is the backbone of Marine Headquarters!”
“Shhh... keep it down. Admiral Sengoku’s face is about to explode.”

Many young Marines swallowed nervously, their scalps tingling from the pressure.

With a cold shout, the yellow sand swept across the ground like it had received a command, suddenly surging violently.
In the blink of an eye, the swirling sand condensed into a towering sandstorm over ten meters high, roaring toward the three fighters in the melee with crushing force.
“A sandstorm?!”
“A Logia-type Devil Fruit user?!”
“That ability... It has to be him!”

A gentle breeze stirred, and dewdrops glistened as they slipped from coral branches and leaves, sparkling under the morning sun.
Inside the hotel suite, chaos reigned.
Clothes were strewn across the floor, long dresses lay shredded, and even the once-soft bed had collapsed halfway.

Realization dawned on her, and she responded sincerely,
