In the vast expanse of the sky, the sun painted the horizon with hues of gold and orange. An artificial island floated gracefully among the billowing clouds.

Anyone from below won't notice the difference, as the entire island is created with the extraordinary ability to manipulate clouds.

Unlike normal clouds, this cloud is fluffy and dense enough to carry all kinds of things, including people and even buildings. Jax, the Cloud Fruit Ability user, sourced it from Sky Island.

Yes, it's a temporary island floating above Paradise, created by Jax. As for the Dawn Island, it was destroyed after it served its purpose.

Though it's a temporary island, it's as big as two Marineford combined, but it didn't have many structures or any other things. Just a few houses to serve as temporary residences.

Dragon, Sabo, Kola, Akira, Jax, and the ten strongest members of the Demon Squad sat in a circle, discussing something.

"Did they follow you?" Sabo asked with his eyebrows raised.

"I'm certain they did," Jax replied, proud,

"You needn't doubt it. He's not exactly good at hiding. Even if you instructed him to stay covert, CP-0 would locate him without much trouble," Akira remarked sarcastically.

"Tsk...You are jealous of my ability," Jax retorted with a smirk. Akira rolled her eyes.

Dragon, his gaze piercing into the distance, cleared their doubts. "He's being followed by a World Government agent. I suspect he's already relayed the information."

"It appears our plan has worked. We should inform Blaize-san," Sabo suggested, his tone tinged with fighting intent.

"Good. Make sure our Commanders are informed as well," Dragon spoke, his voice steady and resolute.

"Will the God's Knights come?" Jax asked in a doubtful voice.

"They will. Our recent operations have directly impacted the World Nobles, making it their responsibility to intervene.

Furthermore, Madara destroyed some of CP-0's just before the summit war, so they don't have much manpower to deploy." Dragon explained, certain of his guess.

"Dragon-san, it appears we are drawing closer to realizing our vision," Sabo exclaimed, his fist clenched in excitement.

"Don't jump to conclusions too hastily, Sabo. You've yet to encounter the truly formidable figures within the World Government." Dragon cautioned; his tone filled with wisdom earned from years of experience.

Marine Headquarters,

Blaize spoke via his Den Den Mushi to Issho, "Don't chase them into the Mirror World. The risk is too great, as the entire force of the Big Mom Pirates may be inside the Mirror dimension. Come Back!

I have defeated Big Mom once; I can do it again. She's not that much of a threat right now!"

After concluding the call with Admiral Fujitora, Blaize's private Den Den Mushi rang. Securing the call with another two Den Den Mushi, he attended.

"Tell me, Sabo," Blaize spoke upon answering.

"Are they making their move? Wonderful. Don't worry about anything. I will be there in a few minutes." Blaize ended the call and mused, 

'We've finally managed to lure those guys out!'

After an hour,

"They are here!" Dragon suddenly declared, his tone sharp and intense.

The next moment, an overwhelming presence seemed to materialize out of thin air, enveloping everyone in its suffocating embrace.

"It's been some time, Dragon," a deep voice rumbled. Following the commanding voice, a man flickered into view and landed on the cloud island.

He's none other than, Figarland Garling, Supreme Commander of the God's Knights. 

Garling stood tall, his age apparent in the lines etched upon his face and the silver hue of his hair. He donned a cape bearing the World Government symbol, draped over exquisitely designed light knight armor.

He had a unique hair-and-beard combo that resembled a forward-facing crescent moon while his eyes were hidden behind stylish circle-frame sunglasses.

He had a serious demeanor with an air of indifference that kept everyone far away, while his mere presence radiated authority.

A second after his arrival, more figures appeared and stood behind him: two additional God's Knights, along with members of CP-0 and World Government guards.

"Garling," Dragon replied evenly, his gaze intense. From their interaction, it's evident that Dragon and Garling know each other.

"It seems there's a history between them," Jax observed.

"No kidding," Kola replied, finding tension in the air.

Saint Figarland Garling. He's a Celestial Dragon with a prestigious position as the Supreme Commander of the Holy Knights, an organization that holds power just below Five Elders.

When Dragon was in the Marines as a young kid, he often accompanied Garp during his travels. It was during one such journey 36 years ago at God Valley that he first encountered Garling.

It was after the God Valley Incident, that he left the Marines. 

"Your attempt to overthrow the World Government... I find it laughable. After all these years, what have you gained but a mere title: 'World's Worst Criminal'," Garling retorted, his voice laced with disdain.

"Though I found it mildly amusing to see a group of ants struggling to overthrow a kingdom of Gods, your recent actions crossed the line and began to infuriate me.

It's time I put an end to this revolutionary nonsense," Garling declared.

"You World Nobles are all the same, thinking of yourselves as gods and such. Someone has to do something to bring a change," Dragon snapped back.

"We nobles are the chosen few, bestowed with the right to live as gods, above the likes of creatures such as yourself. We don't exist for you to question our actions, only for you to obey!" Garling's voice boomed with arrogance and pride.

"What a prideful man," Sabo snorted, finding Garling's arrogance sickening.

"Since the Revolutionary Army is attempting to disturb world order and peace, as the Supreme Commander of the God's Knights, I condemn the Revolutionary Army and its disruptive actions,

And you, Dragon, are hereby sentenced to death!" Garling declared a death sentence.

"Hmph...who are you to sentence us to death? None of you are going to leave this place alive." Jax retorted.

As he spoke, the surrounding clouds began to transform, morphing into a formidable fortress covering sky and earth, with no way out.

Without bothering to look at the encompassing clouds, Garling ordered. "God's Knights, listen to the order, attack them. Kill everyone, no need for capture! As for CP-0, be alert, you are responsible for the lookout."
