Chapter 722 Reactions from Everywhere.
_________________
Near the enchanting Sabondy Archipelago lies a terrifying place that all ships fear approaching. Here, between two mangrove trees, is a giant marine whirlpool.
The whirlpool appeared to spin rapidly like a black hole devouring water fiercely. Along the kilometers-long whirlpool beneath the sea, numerous fast currents danced around it, often referred to as sea dragons that devour anything approaching them, sending it on a free journey to an unknown place.
At the end of the whirlpool stretching from the distant sea surface, a huge pit united in the trunk of the mangrove tree. No one knew that this pit in the tree led directly to inside the Fish-Man Island, secretly created 800 years ago by the Mermaid Princess at that time as part of the preparations to destroy the Fish-Man Island and abandon the cold depths for the sunny surface, following a promise made by Joy Boy.
Well, due to certain circumstances, Joy Boy didn't fulfill his promise, and the Mermaid Princess died, along with the secret of the pit leading to freedom disappearing. It became a natural supernormal waterfall within the Fish-Man Island.
In the Mermaid Cove,seawater cascaded from the great fountain connected to the secret pit onto the art store, creating a scene resembling natural rain with a rainbow extending across the horizon.
The Fish-Man children played under the rain in the streets, and when they finished playing, they rushed to the warm art store to seek shelter.
Inside the art store, Jimbei looked with a smile and pride at this scene in the manga.
"…Standing beside that Straw-hat boy… I don't know why I feel proud because of him…"
"Hehe~ Everyone is amazed by your arrival, comrades~""Hahaha! It's amazingly fun to see the reactions of all these characters…"
"Nyuu~ Jimbei, you are the only Fishman in the Marineford War!"
"I hope to contribute to saving Ace… that would make me happy for the rest of my life," sighed Jimbei discontentedly.
"Don't worry, your counterpart has already done enough by helping Luffy reach this stage," Fisher Tiger smiled before continuing, "Without you, they wouldn't have made it to the war, no matter what they did, they would still be stuck in Impel Down."

Chapter's Events:
—————————
"Jimbei!! Crocodile!! Even Ivankov of the Revolutionary Army!!!"
"And look behind them!! Those are all pirates who used to be plenty infamous themselves!!!"
"It's the escaped convicts from Impel Down!!!"
The Marines stepped back in fear and shock at the prominent figures who seemed to have dropped from the sky.
...
Seeing this scene unfold, Mihawk remarked, "You never fail to make a scene worth witnessing… Strawhat…"
Moria was on the brink of exploding with anger and madness at this moment as memories of that fateful night rushed back to him upon seeing the straw hat: "SSSSSTTTTAAAAWWWWHHHAAAAATTTT!!!?"
Hidden behind a crumbling wall, Fullbody and Jango were shocked: "What is he doing in a place like this!?"
"That isn't his usual crew!!!"
Finally seeing Luffy, Hancock put her hands on her cheeks, exhaling with relief and a slight blush on her cheeks: "Luffy…!! It is such a relief to see you safe…!!!"
...
"Look, Helmeppo-san!! Over there!"
Helmeppo ran alongside Koby, before taking his place, his eyes widening beneath his glasses: "STRAWHAT~!!?"
"Even though I heard he had been captured at Impel Down…!! He really is… Just incredible!!!"
Koby exclaimed excitedly as if he had seen his idol.
...
"That's certainly some group you've got there…"
Aokiji praised Luffy's courage.
For some reason, Bartholomew Kuma remained silent despite everything happening around him.
"To think that we'd see each other again so soon~!"
Kizaru was surprised, thinking that the Straw Hats had been completely dealt with that day at the Sabondy Archipelago.
...
"That must be the brother Ace was talking about!"
This was Marco's initial impression of Luffy.
...
"Current and former Shichibukai all gathered here…!! Fuffuffu… And then… Him… The outrageous rookie everyone's been talking about… Strawhat…!!!"
Doflamingo remembered the incident with the Celestial Dragon that Luffy had caused before, and it made him burst out laughing.
...
"This is no time to be distracted!!"
Taking advantage of Smoker's momentary lapse, a pirate sliced him in half with his sword, but unfortunately, Smoker's body turned into smoke and reformed.
"Smoker-san!! Look!"
Tashigi pointed towards Luffy and his group.
"Strawhat… and Crocodile!! What kind of alliance is this!?"
Smoker couldn't grasp what was happening in the world.
•———•———•———•———•———•
"Did you take care of the chaotic situation outside?"
Garp looked at Dragon, who had just returned from outside after being informed of a sudden cyclone hitting the shores of Sorbet Kingdom,which would have caused significant damage to the kingdom.
"I dispersed it before it could become more violent," Dragon calmly replied. Manipulating winds was his specialty; dispersing a natural cyclone was no harder than creating one.
"Buwahaha! That's good. The shield of art store won't be of any use against natural disasters, It can protect itself and the people inside, but what about the people outside and their homes? It's good to have you here."
Uninterested in Dragon's heroic deeds, both Crocodile and Ivankov grinned ear to ear as they read this scene in the manga.
The scene where the present characters at Marineford pointed at them in astonishment.
"N-fufufu! Your nightmare has arrived, Marine bugs! You'll all become Okamas under my rule! Nihahahaha!" Ivankov laughed wickedly.
"The arrival of Sir Crocodile means one thing for you Marines, heh~ Things won't go as you like them from now on."
Crocodile hated the Marines and the World Government. After they abandoned his counterpart and threw him into Impel Down, he was sure that his counterpart hated them to the core now.
"I don't feel relieved when I see my father's counterpart silent all the time since the war began… What's happening?"
Bonney expressed her concern at this moment.
"Don't worry, Bonney. Everything will be fine~" Kuma reassured her gently.
...
West Blue, Ohara:
A rare smile appeared on Mihawk's face at this moment, saying, "It seems my counterpart doesn't take this war too seriously."
"Hohoho~ I wonder why a character like you submitted to the World Government in the first place," Issho wondered.
"Maybe to gain years of rest for free…" Mihawk replied with a strange expression. "Anyway, there's no room for rest in a world where such a person exists," Mihawk pointed to Luffy, who was leading all those prominent figures behind him.
"Fuffuffu~ You're right, even my counterpart seems interested in Luffy, it's their first encounter, isn't it?" Doflamingo laughed excitedly at seeing how his counterpart reacted to the gathering of former and current Shichibukai, and to the Straw Hat as well.
"Keep in mind, Doffy, that you'll definitely be Luffy's enemy with such a character in the manga," Rosinante pointed out.
"Fufufufu~ That's exactly what makes it more interesting," Doflamingo's response left them speechless.
