Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 622 The Lively Dressrosa
Li Xia landed lightly on his flagship, and the marines on guard immediately straightened their chests and saluted when they saw him.

Although they didn't understand why the general fell from the sky, that wasn't something they needed to worry about.

Nodding to the nearby marines, Li Xia returned to his room. As the highest-ranking officer of the entire fleet, the admiral's lounge occupied an entire floor.

"Boss, you're finally back!"

The moment the door was opened, Awoo pounced on Li Xia and slapped him all over.

Li Xia lay on the soft sofa, stretching comfortably. He had traveled thousands of kilometers back and forth, and even had a little fight. After the fight, he went to a place with Shanks, Ace, and others and drank for half the night. Even with his strong body, he was a little tired, but it was mostly mental fatigue.

"I've only been gone for a day and a half, what happened?"

Awoo sighed:

"Boss, you don't know, that girl came to see you eight times a day, and kept asking me about it. I had no choice but to send a water clone to show her face from afar."

But the girl insisted it was fake, lacking that feeling that made her heart flutter.

Li Xia:
It must be the protective gear I bought before coming here that caused the problem, but that's a minor issue. Besides, there are many popular female characters in One Piece that we can't delve too deeply into, but it's all over now that he's back.

He took out all the Den Den Mushi from his pockets: the Admiral's secret Den Den Mushi, the Revolutionary Army's secret Den Den Mushi, the Four Emperors' secret Den Den Mushi, and even the secret Den Den Mushi given to him by the CP organization in Water Seven.

We've finally collected them all!

"We need to categorize them, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing to grab the wrong Den Den Mushi at a crucial moment."

These secret Den Den Mushi have increasingly cool appearances, as if they're afraid others won't notice how special they are. The Navy's are simply golden Den Den Mushi.

Awoo poked its head out and looked at the various Den Den Mushi in front of it:
"Boss, is everything sorted out?"

"Well, I'll be in charge of the top combat forces on the Navy and Revolutionary Army side, and Shanks will be in charge of the rest. I estimate he'll be going to the Giant Kingdom of Elbaf, and Hawkeye might be too."

Li Xia carefully put away the Den Den Mushi on the table. This thing couldn't be stored in his personal space; it had to be carried close to his body because the Secret Den Den Mushi didn't emit a 'blurr' sound. Instead, it would vibrate, get hot, or become cold—quiet ways to indicate an incoming call.

It's hard to notice unless they're close to you, but carrying five Den Den Mushi in your arms is still pretty uncomfortable.
Glancing over, Li Xia saw Awoo examining the Den Den Mushi. He stroked his chin, remembering that Awoo's egg was unusually sturdy.
Aowu felt a sense of foreboding as he looked at his boss's thoughtful gaze.

"Awoo, put all these Den Den Mushi into your egg."

"what?"

"Captain, what do we do?"

On the high ground of the royal palace in Dressrosa, several apostles mingled among the crowd, looking at the chaotic battlefield, completely unsure of where to begin.

The captain's face was extremely gloomy. Before entering the pirate territory, they had made extensive preparations in order to make a fortune on the Dressrosa battlefield.

But who would have thought that this pirate world was so unusual, Ace, the one who saved the key, was still alive! Instead, Blackbeard died.

When I saw it on the 'World Information Correction Notice' in the Hall of Light, I was completely stunned.

It is important to know that every derivative world has a so-called destiny—that is, a predetermined fate line.

These predetermined fate lines are extremely difficult to change because they are closely related to the tone and main storyline of the world. It can be said that the subsequent plot is related to these predetermined fate lines.

The most notably difficult spin-off world quests in the Hall of Fame: rescuing Ace at Marineford, taking Jiraiya away from the Land of Rain, killing Eren in Attack on Titan, and stealing the Holy Grail in Fate.
However, everything they had prepared for this was only applicable to Dressrosa, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and come here.

"Don't rush. Let's stick to the plan and head to the underground port to steal the artificial Devil Fruits first. Then, after Doflamingo is defeated, we'll take them all away from him!"

The captain closed his eyes and let out a long breath. In fact, their plan was not complicated. Back when they came to the pirate world last time, they had found a way to join Doflamingo's family.

The plan is to wait for Doflamingo to be defeated, take him away, and rescue the other officers as well.

Doflamingo is ruthless, cunning, and extremely cruel, but he is quite good to those he considers his own people.

If an outsider had saved Doflamingo, he probably wouldn't have received thanks, but rather his immediate annihilation.

But if they are one of our own, then it's a different story. Besides, they joined Doflamingo's family when they were at the third rank, and two or three years have passed in the storyline for this day.

Given Doflamingo's personality, acquiring weapons, Devil Fruits, and even Haki techniques would be an exceptionally easy task for him.

The main benefits in the One Piece world are swords, Devil Fruits, Haki, and attribute points. They can also gain a rating bonus by altering the plot, and even get two extra attribute points.

The best part is that the overall plan is not very risky; the difficulty lies in having to start from the previous level and dealing with possible plot changes.

"Captain, do you really think Wright-Shawn could not possibly be an Apostle?"

The birdcage creaked as it closed, and the battle intensified. It looked exciting in the anime, but it wasn't so exciting to actually stand on this battlefield. There was a feeling that the terrifying aftershocks could engulf the place at any moment.

While death is unlikely, getting caught up in it will definitely result in serious injury.

To relieve this pressure, the apostles started gossiping. Not long after entering the world, they learned of the appointment of the new general from the newspapers and had a small discussion about it.

"Impossible, I already gave my reasons last time."

The captain took a deep breath:

"A check of his resume will tell you. He joined the Navy eleven years ago, and two years ago there was a sudden and significant change: Jaya Island, the Revolutionary Army's occupation of the Sky Island, the killing of the Golden Lion, and his promotion to Vice Admiral, etc."

It seems very unusual, like something an apostle would do, but that precisely proves that Wright-Shaw couldn't possibly be an apostle.

A glint of wisdom flashed in the captain's eyes:
“I suspect that this Wright-Shaw is just an apostle hiding by his side, who is using his influence to change a lot of things.”

This was a very clever move. I suspect that this apostle is likely a woman, skilled in charm and mind control, but probably not very strong herself.

But we are in no way inferior to her!

The captain stood up, stared at Luffy who had already activated Gear Fourth, and said confidently:

"We started planning when we came to One Piece last time, spanning the third and fourth tiers. Our returns may not be as good as hers, but our investment is also very small."

The resources required to elevate an ordinary naval captain to the rank of admiral are absolutely staggering.

In terms of returns, ours are absolutely far superior to that 'bone and flesh skin'!

"Bone Flesh Skin" refers specifically to those apostles within the temple who use the temple's power for cosmetic surgery and whose skills are all focused on things like charm and bedroom arts.

As they were talking, the battle between Doflamingo and Luffy reached a fever pitch.

The land and buildings were transformed into threads like ocean waves under the influence of the Devil Fruit's power, while Luffy's fist, floating in mid-air, was exceptionally large, like the fist of a giant.

After a brief stalemate, the threads on the ground began to churn and boil like a tsunami, swirling and condensing into more than a dozen strands, which, after being coated with Armament Haki, transformed into sharp spikes that gleamed with a metallic luster.

"16 rounds of holy bullets·God's killing!"

Doflamingo's hoarse voice echoed above the battlefield.

Luffy's roar also rang out:
"Rubber King Ape Gun!" The captain's expression suddenly turned tense:

"Prepare----"

He touched the ring on his index finger, but his heart was far from as calm as his face suggested; this ring of greed was his true intention.

The current team is composed of three tiers. Before this, he actually had another team, but in the end, he was the only one left. The death of his companions was exchanged for this precious Ring of Greed.

With the Ring of Greed and the Emergency Escape Scroll, his ultimate goal was the Nika Fruit!
This fruit only appeared once in the Hall of Fame, but it caused a great sensation because it achieved a rare A-level rating in the Hall of Fame's ranking system. It should be noted that even the major natural fruits and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit are only rated between B and B-.

This is because once the Nika Fruit awakens, it becomes extremely versatile. It not only possesses the property of rubberization, but also fights with imagination. In other words, the stronger the imagination, the stronger the Nika Fruit becomes.

It is said that even at higher levels, the Nika Fruit is still useful, even if the scope of its influence is limited, but this characteristic ensures that it is at least not outdated.

"ah----------!"

With Luffy's roar, Doflamingo's 'thread gun' was completely shattered, and the giant fist slammed him directly into the ground.

The solid ground first rose high, followed by countless rubble and bricks shooting into the sky, making the ground seem like a water surface, with visible ripples spreading across it.

Wherever the ripples passed, buildings and people on them were thrown high into the air, and the smoke and dust even obscured the sky, as if the end of the world had come.

opportunity!

"on!"

The captain let out a low roar and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, sprinting towards the landing point. Luffy was also exhausted after using the Great Kong Gun, and he couldn't even move without food.

So if he handles it well, he can definitely take care of Luffy and also deal with Doflamingo in the process!

What plans, what reports? Where is there any chance to enjoy the fragrance of two powerful figures? If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't participate in or profit from the battle between Kaido and Luffy in Wano Country, he would even want to go to Wano Country!
It is an honor for their teammates to be able to serve as stepping stones for them to climb higher!
He quickly rushed through the dust and smoke, and in the huge depression in the ground, two figures lying not far apart were faintly visible.

The captain was overjoyed. He knew that the Chosen One was extremely difficult to kill, but the Ring of Greed was the ultimate example of "fortune favors the bold".

You can specify the drop and postpone the backlash, creating an opportunity.

Soon, soon!
The captain's eyes gleamed with greed as he drew closer and closer. Just as he was about to reach the scene, a roar filled with rage suddenly echoed from the sky:

"fire punch!"

A blazing flame ripped through the sky and crashed down from mid-air, revealing Ace's figure in mid-air.

Ace? ???

Why is he here?
Before he could figure it out, another figure appeared, accompanied by the whooshing sound of high-speed movement:

"Dragon Claw Fist!"

The captain's pupils contracted, and he immediately raised his arms to block in front of him.

"Oh!"

Amidst the violent impact, he felt an immense force surge from his arms, causing his Armament Haki to dissipate instantly, and his feet carved two deep furrows in the mud.

When he lowered his sore and weak arms, all that remained on his face was astonishment.

Ace and Sabo stood on either side of Luffy, their murderous gazes fixed on him, blocking his way.

"What do you want to do to my brother?"

Oops!

Why are Ace and Sabo here?

The captain suppressed his shock and disappointment and slowly backed away, but a hand grabbed his neck. He struggled to turn his body to the side, but when he saw who was holding him, he was completely stunned.

Four Emperors! Red-Haired Shanks!

Why is Shanks here again?
At this moment, the captain felt nothing but despair. He could even feel Shanks' hand tightening its grip, the pain of almost crushing his neck.

Despite having an avatar, he had absolutely no confidence that he could escape from Shanks' clutches.

"He's just a cowardly rat who wants fame but doesn't dare to fight head-on, yet he wants to take advantage of the situation."

Shanks saw through the true nature of the person in front of him at a glance, his eyes filled with disdain, and he was about to crush him.

But just then, a bolt of lightning also flew in from a distance.

A dark red light flashed in Shanks' eyes as he turned to look in the direction of the lightning.

Lightning converged in front of him, and amidst the crackling, azure arcs of electricity, a black cat dressed in a naval vice admiral's uniform appeared before him.

Shanks raised his eyebrows:

"Navy, this place has nothing to do with you—"

"Black Charcoal?!"

Sabo cried out in surprise, then lowered his voice:
"Did he come too?"

"Meow!"

The kitten shook its head, pointing with its paw at the apostle Shanks was holding, its big, round eyes filled with excitement.

That means this apostle was definitely targeting Luffy, which means he must have some kind of authority item. Otherwise, a fourth-tier apostle wouldn't be so foolish as to go straight for the Chosen One.

Many of the privilege-related items are dropped upon death!

"Meow meow meow meow!"

Shanks then realized that the black cat belonged to Natsu.

He watched as the black-haired man kept pointing at the person he was carrying, then repeatedly pointed his claws at his own furry head, and even made a throat-slitting gesture.

Even Shanks, a veteran of countless battles, had never seen such an outrageous request.

"You mean this person sent you to kill him?"
