The expressions on the faces of the sons and daughters were filled with anxiety. After observing the situation for a while, Bray, who had been silently standing on the side, finally spoke up.
"Why don't we search separately? The New World is so vast. If we all stay here, I'm afraid it will take too long to find our mother."
Everyone around him agreed with his suggestion. They decided to leave one or two people behind on Whole Cake Island to guard it in case anything happened.
They would stay in contact through a Den Den Mushi, and if something urgent occurred, they could rush back to Whole Cake Island immediately to defend it.
After coming to this decision, they set out. Finding Big Mom quickly was crucial, as the island could be targeted by others. Many had their eyes on Whole Cake Island, waiting for a chance to strike.
Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew were discussing recent events. When Luffy heard the news that Kurozumi Orochi had been killed by Arthur, his face was filled with shock.
With Orochi gone, there was no longer anyone to lead Wano Country.
The revival of the Kozuki clan seemed closer than ever.
Thinking about this, Luffy couldn't help but gape in surprise.
At that moment, everyone aboard the Thousand Sunny gathered to discuss the situation.
This was enough to show just how powerful Arthur was. After hearing the news, Chopper's jaw dropped in shock. He turned to Arthur, knowing that Arthur was acquainted with Luffy.
"How could this happen? How was Kurozumi Orochi killed so easily? Orochi was supposed to be the most powerful figure in all of Wano Country, and he was even one of Kaido's subordinates!"
Chopper spoke in disbelief. Arthur, hearing this, scratched his head awkwardly. In truth, he had only intended to teach Orochi a lesson.
But he hadn't controlled his strength well, and his use of thunder and lightning ended up being far more destructive than he anticipated. This mistake had led to Orochi's death right in front of him.
"I'm really sorry. I only wanted to give him a warning," Arthur said, scratching his head in embarrassment. "I didn't expect Kurozumi Orochi to be so fragile. I thought Wano's boss would be more formidable. Turns out, he was just a paper tiger."
Arthur's words left the crew stunned. His casual tone made it clear how strong he really was.
However, Arthur truly hadn't meant to boast. In his eyes, someone like Orochi wasn't even a challenge. If it had been someone like Luffy, then maybe things would be different.
"Luffy, now that's someone who could probably fight me head-on," Arthur thought aloud, "but we're good friends, so that's not going to happen. With his rubber abilities, I'd say we'd be an even match—50-50."
Arthur then changed the topic. "Didn't you say you wanted to restore the Kozuki clan? If that's your goal, you should act quickly. I have my own matters to handle and won't be staying in Wano for long.
It won't take long before Kaido comes looking for revenge. He already knows who I am—we've met before."
Arthur wasn't afraid of Kaido; he just didn't want to bring trouble to Luffy and his crew. For him, it was that simple.
