Chapter 235: The World’s Attention
Navy Headquarters.
Just as Mio and Whitebeard expected, their battle attracted attention from the moment the Moby Dick set sail.
Even Sengoku couldn't ignore it.
After all, it was Whitebeard.
In terms of destructive range alone, few could match him. And considering Whitebeard's status in the New World, it was impossible not to keep track of his movements—especially when he arrived at Crow Island, the base of the Black Crow Pirates, a rising force in the New World.
So, even as the battle erupted on Crow Island, Sengoku was fully aware.
Sitting at his desk, Sengoku rubbed his forehead with both hands, then looked up at the navy soldier in front of him and asked helplessly, "Do you know why Whitebeard sought out Black Crow?"
"This... I'm not sure." The navy soldier shook his head and reported, "We couldn't get close to Crow Island. We only know that Whitebeard and Black Crow fought there, and the battle ended in a stalemate. After the fight, the Whitebeard Pirates left immediately. We don't know what was discussed before or after the clash."
Hearing this, Sengoku nodded without reproach.
After all, that was Black Crow's territory.
Getting close meant certain death.
