Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 631: Pull the ship over!
On the azure sea, the Wanli Sunshine, bathed in the dappled sunlight of the rising sun, sailed into the distance.

Jinbe was at the helm, but his gaze was fixed on Li Xia's back. The young admiral was sitting on the lion's head of the Thousand Sunny, which was usually Luffy's 'captain's seat'.

However, Luffy was currently stuffed into an iron cage by Nami with his face covered in bulges and his mouth agape.

Nami felt so tired. She was just a navigator, but she had to worry about everything like a mother.

A very strange general
Jinbe looked at the navy coat fluttering in the sea breeze, the two large characters for "justice" on the back also fluttering, as if they were about to fly out of the coat.

After last night's thrilling battle, the tranquility at this moment is especially precious. Jinbe recalls what Nami told him last night, and it still seems somewhat unbelievable to him.

They've been arrested three times already, but each time they've inexplicably managed to leave their cells, as if the general arrested them simply to complete a mission.

In fact, he was promoted every time he was arrested. The first time he was arrested, he was just a captain in the Navy Headquarters, and the second time he was arrested, he was a vice admiral.

This time, he jumped directly to the rank of Admiral.

What about next time?
Next time, won't the Five Elders have to stand up and invite him to sit in the seat of honor?

What surprised Jinbe even more was the opponent's terrifying strength; even Big Mom was defeated decisively.

Moreover, Nami said that Jaya Island was well governed by him, with no instances of the Navy oppressing the residents, but rather he diligently maintained order and combated crime.

It is said that Jaya Island has transformed from a no-man's-land into a prosperous and peaceful home.

Jinbe sighed; it was a pity that there were far too few navy personnel like him.
If there were more.
The world would probably be much more peaceful without so many pirates.
"Three Poneglyphs, one for Wano Country is still missing —"

Li Xia, unaware of what Jinbe was thinking, sat at the bow of the ship looking at the mission prompt that had already been displayed as (3/4).

"Meow?"

Black Charcoal offered a quiet suggestion.

"Going to Wano Country and beating up Kaido isn't out of the question."

Li Xia frowned in thought. Among the Four Emperors, the ones he was most comfortable fighting were probably Kaido and Charlotte Linlin.

Because these two are simply relying on their high defense, high damage, and great strength.

Often, it involves taking damage head-on and launching a counterattack, or exchanging blows.

Kaido might be able to put up a fight with me in his human form, but if he dared to transform into his dragon form, Li Xia could instantly rip a hundred or so holes in him.

Night's silence, with its easily pierced defense, directly shattered his strongest reliance.

On the contrary, Shanks is more troublesome to fight because Shanks is fast enough and is in a similar balanced state to himself.

Whitebeard is equally difficult to defeat because the old man has too much combat experience. Many times, he directly uses the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to shatter the surrounding space, causing spatial tremors. Even with Haki, it is difficult to defend against this.

Add to that his strength and the fact that he possessed all three types of Haki without any weaknesses, and it's fair to say that Whitebeard at his peak was unmatched among the Four Emperors.

"Oh right, you can also just ask for it directly."

Li Xia then took out Charlotte Linlin's Den Den Mushi (snail phone), and after connecting, only said one sentence:

"Tell Kaido to send over his copy, or I'll go to Wano Country to find him."

Whether Kaido will hand it over willingly depends on what Big Mom tells him.

In fact, Kaido and Big Mom have a pretty good personal relationship. On Rocks' ship, Big Mom took good care of this 15-year-old apprentice 'dark-skinned physical education student'. She even gave Kaido the 'Fish-Fish Fruit' that she stole from God Valley.

Kaido might not believe it, but Big Mom has a deep understanding of Li Xia's overwhelming strength.

So there's still a good chance.

Gradually, a black dot appeared on the distant horizon. Li Xia squinted and looked at it for a while. That should be the CP escort ship.

"Same as always, tie yourself up."

Before he could finish speaking, Nami, Chopper, and the others had already tied themselves up—they were incredibly skilled at it.

“We have witnessed the battle; your strength has exceeded my expectations.”

On the massive deck of the CP transport ship, Lucci looked at the Straw Hat crew, who were tightly bound. Although not all of them were there, he was quite satisfied. It wasn't that Li Xia had let a few escape; rather, a few people were simply missing.

His voice sounded somewhat muffled through the mask, but one could tell he was extremely satisfied with the deal.

If only CP's work were as easy as it is now, it would be great. From Li Xia's proposal to the completion of the deal, it only took one day.

This efficiency, this drive, this strength
No wonder he became a naval admiral in his early twenties!
"Transaction complete, now it's up to you."

Li Xia waved his hand dismissively, saying that Long and Sabo were on their way on horseback anyway.

"There's another deal, would you like to hear about it?"

"Oh?"

Lu Qi immediately became interested. He had just completed a deal efficiently, and his trust and appreciation for Li Xia were at their peak. So when Li Xia brought it up, Lu Qi asked with great interest:

"What deal?"

Li Xia pointed to the Wanli Yangguang below:
“There is a road sign with historical information that once belonged to BIGMOM, but now it belongs to me. I can give it to you.”

Before Li Xia could finish speaking, she noticed that Lu Qi's breathing had become slightly heavier, and his eyes were filled with a burning light.

What he didn't know was that for the CP organization, from the day it was founded, retrieving the Poneglyphs was its highest mission.

If we could recover a piece of 'meaningful' historical text, it would be an immense achievement.

The Poneglyphs are intolerable to the World Government, and it was because the Queen of Alabasta deliberately spread them 800 years ago that a series of stories revolved around the Poneglyphs and the Grand Line.

What constitutes meaningful historical texts?

Those are the records of the true 'blank century', and among these 'meaningful' historical texts, the most valuable are the four red road sign historical texts.

If he could recover even one piece, it would be a tremendous achievement. How could Lucci have transformed from a stray dog ​​into the commander of CP0? Wasn't it because he found a Road Poneglyph?
If we take back another piece now, the pirates will never be able to reach Laugh Tale, and this sea will never have a king again!
The Celestial Dragons are probably going crazy with excitement!

Lu Qi suppressed the burning excitement in his heart. If he didn't know Li Xia's terrifying strength, he would have even thought of snatching it. But now he had to listen carefully to Li Xia's conditions.

"what do you need?"

"It's simple, spread the word that I defeated the Big Mom Pirates, at least report it, the wider the better!"

Li Xia smiled warmly, looking like an upright navy man who was deeply concerned about the World Government:

"Because of the world situation, I cannot take it upon myself to kill BIGMOM, nor can I even announce it myself, but you can."

Spread this message!

Let this message spread throughout the world, let those muddle-headed pirates calm down, and let them know that there is always a blade hanging over their heads that could fall at any moment!
"This era belongs to the Navy! It belongs to the World Government!" Lucci almost burst into tears. What a wonderful Navy! After seeing so many insincere high-ranking Navy officers at the Navy Headquarters, Li Xia's 'Declaration of Justice' really resonated with him.

Lucci nodded vigorously: "No problem, I will do my best!"

Li Xia nodded in satisfaction, waved, and left gracefully.

Watching Li Xia's figure gradually disappear, Lucci sighed for a while before his eyes lit up as he looked at the red historical text stored on the Thousand Sunny. After admiring it for a while, Lucci suddenly remembered something and hurriedly returned to the ship.

"Double all surveillance measures! Double the amount of sea stone handcuffs and leg irons as well!"

Lucci was unusually serious:
"I've looked up the information. The Straw Hat crew was captured twice, but they escaped mysteriously both times."

Therefore, we must be careful, lest they possess some special abilities.

Seeing the Straw Hat crew, who were covered in sea stone shackles and unable to walk, Lucci nodded in satisfaction.

This time, there's absolutely no chance of anything going wrong!

Even if Lucci and his men had the keys, it would still take them a very long time to unlock so many shackles.

Moreover, the nearby navy and CP are converging here.

This time, the straw hat is doomed!

"No way, you're too old, Charlotte Linlin!"

In Wano Country, Kaido sat atop a mountain, a cold smile on his face:

"He's actually afraid of a naval admiral in his twenties! It's ridiculous! No matter how strong he is in other areas, it's the kind of domineering aura that takes time to develop."

He is far from being at his peak age. If he said this when he was forty, I would probably be worried.

but."

Kaido slammed his spiked club heavily onto the ground, unleashing a surge of ferocious Haki. Kaido arrogantly declared:

"Only domineering power can transcend everything!"

"He is Garp's disciple."

The old woman's voice echoed softly through the Den Den Mushi, and Kaido involuntarily shuddered, as if he had returned to the scene thirty-eight years ago in God Valley, where that terrifying Marine Vice Admiral had chased after them all.

While chasing, he shouted, "You sea kings, don't run!"

Kaido's Infinite Fist Bone, imbued with immense Conqueror's Haki, practically crushed every enemy he encountered. Ever since then, Kaido has been a staunch advocate of Haki, believing that only Haki transcends everything else.

"So what? His punches are still a bit weaker than Garp's—"

"His fist pierced right through my body. If he hadn't wanted to kill me, I would be dead now."

The older woman's voice grew even colder:
"Kaido, stop dreaming. That kid's Haki is stronger than yours. This kind of monster is even stronger than Rocks and Garp Roger back then. What do you have to fight him with?"

Do you really think you can defeat Rocks or Garp back then?

Kaido's expression froze. He touched his chest, where two gruesome wounds throbbed, still throbbing with pain. These were inflicted by Kozuki Oden, whose strength was even inferior to Rocks and Garp.
Kaido has never been a tough person. On the contrary, he is a typical pirate: cruel, suspicious, cold-blooded, and cunning, which is completely opposite to his appearance. When he feels threatened, he will never continue to fight head-on. Just like when he was injured by Kozuki Oden, he used the entire Wano Country as a threat, even though Oden was indeed not smart and was just a clown.

But Kaido is by no means a hero.

So after learning from the older woman that Li Xia's threat was indeed effective, he immediately chose to back down as well.
"Where is he? I'll have someone deliver it to him."

The wind howled, and the previously clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Large raindrops covered the entire sky like a dense curtain.

CP's escort fleet lit its navigation lights and struggled to navigate through the torrential rain.

The lookout on the mast dared not be careless in the slightest. He hid on the lookout tower and vigilantly observed the surroundings with binoculars. Before long, his eyes widened. He saw a ship gradually approaching on the distant sea.

Because of the rain, he only noticed it at this distance. His heart tightened, and he immediately rushed to the nearby brass pipe, shouting loudly:
"A suspicious vessel is approaching!"

Lucci immediately led his men to the deck in the rain. After looking through binoculars for a while, they discovered that it was a small boat flying the flag of the Revolutionary Army.

"Revolutionary army? What are they doing here?"

Kaku, standing beside him, muttered to himself in confusion.

"Hmph, what else can they do? The revolutionary leader's son has been captured, and the local thugs have heard the news and are rushing to his rescue."

Lucci put down his brass binoculars, raindrops dripping from his hat brim. His eyes transformed into vertical pupils like a leopard's, and he smiled coldly.

"Pull the boat over!"

Kaku was taken aback and quickly tried to dissuade him:

"Should we send someone over to scout ahead or avoid them?"

Lucci chuckled: "According to our informants, several of the Revolutionary Army's most powerful forces, including the legion commander, are on the Sky Island. General Light Shah is too fast."

From the moment the contact was made to the completion of the transaction, it took only one day. Even if the Revolutionary Army headquarters rushed over immediately upon receiving news of the Straw Hat crew's capture, they wouldn't have had enough time!

Unless they set off immediately when General Wright-Shaw contacted us, how could they possibly arrive by now?

So, they brought their boat alongside, daring to intercept my vessel! Who do they think they are?

Under Lucci's orders, the entire fleet moved forward instead of retreating, heading straight for the lone ship.

With this two-way effort, the distance between the two sides closed at an extremely rapid pace.

Lucci's body gradually swelled, eventually transforming into a half-human, half-leopard form. He then leaped through the air and charged towards the ship.

The heavy rain obscured his vision, but just as he approached the ship, a massive bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the entire world.

It also illuminated the faces of the people standing at the bow of the ship.

Lucci's eyes suddenly went blank.

The three people are:
Revolutionary Army Leader: Monkey D. Dragon

Revolutionary Army Under Chief of Staff Sabo

Former Navy Admiral Aokiji Kurazan has just been officially announced to have joined the Revolutionary Army!
