Some things have to be faced after all, and escaping is not the way.

Don chose to go back to Maple Leaf Island, which was where he was supposed to be. It's just that if you go back there, you will inevitably not be at peace.

All along, Don was reluctant to face the impending noise. He didn't even want to face his own teacher, Zefa.

This old face and weakened body will undoubtedly make everyone familiar with it feel a kind of torture in their hearts.

But at this moment, he finally made a decision.

What should come will come, and what should be faced must also be faced. After all, there is no way to avoid everything.

He was prepared and made a plan for the future. With Sendley, a coffin-making guy, he might be able to wait for that magnificent era.

Before that, he couldn't control everything else, and he didn't have the energy to take care of it.

Time is humanity's worst enemy, and so is old age.

The warship quickly left Frostmoon Village, and with such an elite group of naval escorts, no one was worried about Donne's safety.

Koshiro took Guina and came to bid farewell to Don.

"In my absence, you have to cultivate well, Guina!"

Don smiled and patted the other's head.

This persistent and stubborn little girl made a good impression on him, which is why he was willing to teach what he had learned to the other party.

"Teacher, I will definitely work hard, you take good care of your injuries, and when I am successful in cultivation, I will go to the Great Channel to find you."

Guina had tears in her eyes, but she was still strong.

"Bross, after we leave, you must also cultivate well, and you can't be lazy."

On the side, Rocius's voice came.

Bross nodded heavily: "I will definitely do it, and I will go to you with Guina in the future!" ”

Bard clasped his hands and stood behind Bross: "I won't go with you, you two old men, and you don't need my protection." ”

Donn didn't care, although Bross was still reliable as a teammate.

But with Pat and the others by his side, he really didn't need to worry about anything else.

"Don, look forward to seeing each other one day!"

Koshiro wore glasses and said goodbye gently.

"In the future, we will definitely see you again."

Don said with a smile.

His tone, very affirmative, made everyone present stunned. Because Don's physical state is not like a person who can live for many years.

"I hope you can regain your youth and shine again in this era."

Koshiro waved his hand.

"I'll borrow your good words, Koshiro, take care of these two children!"

Don laughed.

Today's Guina's physical fitness is completely different from the past. He used the ability of the thunder fruit to boil the other party's body for a long time, and it was impossible for the plot in the original book to appear again.

The warship set off slowly, and Guina and the others waved.

Soon, Frostmoon Village disappeared from everyone's eyes.

"Are you ready? Admiral Donn. Back on Maple Leaf Island, things can be complicated. ”

Pat asked with a sigh.

"I'm an old man like me, what else is complicated for me?"

Don smiled faintly.

His eyes drifted away, staring at the sea ahead.

His thoughts gradually became profound, returning to the moment when it seemed to be out of reach, and one after another roars and shouts resounded in his ears.

Unconsciously, Don's mind was in a trance.

Suddenly, his eyes became clear again, and Donn's gaze calmed.

Things that used to be difficult to face and accept seem to have become more common.

His mindset has changed, and the way he sees things has changed.

Once for him, it was like a catastrophe, but it made his heart more mature and tenacious.

Woe to you, blessing to rely on!

Don doesn't think about it anymore, and only when he faces it in person in the future will he know what the outcome will be.

The warship was heading towards the Great Channel, neither fast nor slow.

At the same time, in the new world.

On a small ship, Payne, with a spiral pattern on his face, sat calmly on the deck.

Half an hour later, the phone bug rang.

"Chief Payne, we've arrived in the New World, where are you? We're here to pick you up! ”

Kulik's voice came from the phone bug.

"No, I've seen you all!"

Payne said lightly.

He hung up the phone bug, then slowly stood up and looked southwest.

There, a black dot soon appeared on the surface of the sea, followed by a rapid increase in size. Sitting on the ship was none other than Kulik's gang.

Payne's figure floated, crossed the sea, and flew swiftly towards it.

After a while, he landed in front of Kulik and the others.

"Did you find any news?"

asked, Payne's emotions could not be detected by everyone at all.

Anilu's eyes flashed, he smiled, and didn't speak.

"According to the intelligence department, Zefa's group is not far from us!"

Kulik said solemnly.

Although I don't know what the purpose of this matter is, they must do it well according to the orders of their superiors.

No matter what the task is, take it seriously and seriously.

Corazon's eyes moved slightly when he saw Payne.

He has been guessing Payne's identity, in this mysterious organization, he has only seen Payne, but he is deeply shocked by the mystery of the other party.

"Corazon, how's your fruit ability developing?"

The metallic overlapping sound suddenly sounded, which made Corazon startled, and then hurriedly responded.

"It's being developed, and a good move has been developed."

Payne nodded, then looked at Webb.

The latter had a respectful expression and bent slightly.

"Your strength has improved a lot, not bad!"

Webber was visibly happy, but the smile on his face was put down, and the joy was suppressed.

Then, Payne spoke softly again.

"This time, in addition to the previous mission, in addition, there is another mission of yours!"

After a pause, Payne's tone intensified.

"Search for Devil Fruits and build your own power in the New World!"

Hearing this order, everyone was shocked.

"Whether it's pirates, dark forces, or whatever, you have to build your own power!"

The overlapping sound sounds very clear, but the meaning is extraordinary!

All along, they have hidden their identities, and although they have great strength, they can't be publicized under the orders of the organization, so they are unknown.

But now, the leaders have let them build up their power.

"So, what does Chief Payne mean is that I have made a name for myself?"

Anilu laughed.

"Yes, from today onwards, you are free to move around and complete this task."

"The form of the mission is up to you!"

"And, of course, be safe!"

Payne said slowly.

Then he ignored what was in everyone's minds.

"According to the Ministry of Intelligence, let's go find Zefa and his gang!"
