Pirate: I'm cracked, but my mutation talent is incredibly strong.

"What qualifications does that brat Fang Huo have to be the vice-captain of the world's strongest pirate crew?!"

"Let me be the second-in-command!"

Wang Zhi considered himself the "Pirate Godfather," far superior to those so-called Great Demon Lords, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Steel Balloons.

Given his status and reputation, it would be an honor for Rocks to become the vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates.

Hopefully, Rocks will just kick Fang Huo out of the way.

Fang Huo, that brat, should be more sensible and give up his spot voluntarily.

Looking at the airship in the sky, Wang Zhi felt that being the vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates wasn't such a bad thing after all.

However, given the opportunity, he would definitely cooperate with the World Government to kill Rocks.

He doesn't have the habit of always being subservient to others.

Most importantly, by killing Rocks, he can inherit everything from the Rocks Pirates.

He might even have a chance to become the captain of the world's strongest pirate crew.

As the airship drew closer, Wang Zhi unleashed his full power without restraint.

He was both declaring his sovereignty and demonstrating his strength, proving that even if he couldn't defeat Rocks, he was capable of becoming the second-in-command of the Rocks Pirates.

On the Sword of Gibbek.

"Hahaha! Is this some kind of show of strength?"

Rocks sensed the Conqueror's Haki emanating from this pirate patriarch.

However, this so-called Pirate Godfather's Conqueror's Haki is stronger than Newgate's, and even Shiki and Linlin's.

Those who relied on going overseas to act arrogantly in the New World a few years ago will eventually be surpassed.

"Rocks!! You can't intervene!!"

"This is our prey!"

Silver Axe Fierce and Golden Lion Shiki started shouting.

They all regarded Wang Zhi, the founder of the pirate cult, as a stepping stone to their own fame.

As long as they defeat Wang Zhi, their reputation will soar instantly!

Wang Zhi, the current pirate patriarch who dominates the region, has a bounty of 757 million Berries.

In this era, this bounty is already extremely high!

"My bounty is lower than yours! I'll go first!"

Silver Axe Fierce spoke with an air of self-righteousness.

In short, it's all about being weak and therefore being right.

Otherwise, should we start with something even stronger?

The Golden Lion and Whitebeard were rendered speechless by the earnest Silver Axe.

Soon, the order of challenges, starting with the weakest, was determined.

Longbread knew it couldn't beat Wang Zhi, so it started with Sambel, with Silver Axe even ranking after Babel.

Sambell also felt that he couldn't beat Wang Zhi, but determined to become a fishman hero, he was not afraid of any battle.

···

Wang Zhi, who was on Paradise Island, originally wanted to have a world-shaking battle with the most evil pirate, Rocks, and thus joined the Rocks Pirates.

As a result, a burly fishman flew down from the airship.

"Wang Zhi! Tidal Knight Sambell has come to challenge you!"

Sambell shot straight at Wang Zhi like a cannonball, without uttering any unnecessary words!

"Damn it! Rocks, are you looking down on your cult leader?!"

"They only sent one subordinate!"

Wang Zhi felt he had been greatly insulted. Even if Lockes had sent Fang Huo and Newgate, high-ranking officers with bounties exceeding 6 million, Wang Zhi wouldn't have been that angry.

As a result, Rocks sent a fishman with a bounty of over 3 million, which was a sign of disrespect for him as the founder of the pirate world.

With a gloomy expression, Wang Zhi instantly coated his right fist with thick Armament Haki, his eyes as venomous as a snake's.

"Get lost! You nobody!"

Wang Zhi's Armament Haki fist and Sambel's Sea Knight Trident clashed fiercely.

"Such brute strength! But that's not enough!"

Enraged, Wang Zhi unleashed an even more powerful aura, sending the young Sambell flying with a single punch.

The next moment, an even larger merman came crashing down.

"Sambard, you're so handsome!"

"Babel, the Titan of the Abyss, comes to challenge you!"

Babel, who is over ten meters tall, punched Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi made a perfect parry, and the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters beneath his feet was shattered by the impact.

"So strong!"

This brute strength is even stronger than that of the giants. Wang Zhi never expected that Babel, a fishman with a bounty of 388 million, could make him so embarrassed.

"Hahaha! You don't even seem to be as good as Newgate!"

"How dare they call themselves the patriarch of pirates!"

Babel, who had just landed a successful blow, became arrogant. He had assumed that the renowned Wang Zhi was stronger than both Vice Captain Fang Huo and Newgate.

In the end, it seems that's all there is to it!

"Damn it!"

"You've angered me!!"

Wang Zhi was furious. In his angry shout, his long tongue splattered out a large amount of saliva.

"Nausea!"

"Fishman Karate - Saliva Impact Bomb!"

The power fluctuation in Babel's hand directly transformed the saliva into bullets, which were fired at Wang Zhi himself.

Boom boom boom~

Wang Zhi didn't defeat Babel instantly like he did with a single punch that sent Sambel flying.

This left many pirates on Paradise Island dumbfounded.

It's important to know that Babel was in the lower-middle tier of the Rocks Pirates, almost at the bottom.

He was actually able to fight on equal terms with the Pirate King.

How strong must a cadre be, who is even stronger than Babel!

Something's not right here!

"According to intelligence! Whitebeard! Golden Lion! Silver Axe! Steel Balloon—all these executives were defeated by Rocks himself."

Why hasn't Rocks made a move yet?!

Black Flag Black, who was watching the battle from among the pirates, suddenly felt a sense of unease.

He looked up at the airship in the sky.

How can I attract Rocks' attention and successfully join the Rocks Pirates?

"Hahaha!! This Wang Zhi doesn't seem so great after all!"

Shiki the Golden Lion, floating in the air, watched the battle between Wang Zhi and Babel and suddenly felt that Wang Zhi's bounty was a bit too high.

However, as a regional overlord and captain, he poses a greater threat to the World Government, so his bounty is indeed higher than that of the executives of these pirate crews!

Moreover, Wang Zhi had been entrenched in the New World for many years, accumulating the bounty.

"I'm 6% confident I can beat him!"

Newgate held the Supreme Grade Sword Murakumogiri in one hand, looking down at the battle below and estimating the difference in combat power between himself and Wang Zhi.

He's been fighting Rocks, the strongest pirate, a lot lately, and his strength has increased rapidly.

Now he is even confident that he can defeat Fang Huo.

Fang Huo has recently focused all his energy on developing his Devil Fruit abilities, and his weak physique has also hindered his growth.

Rocks teased Fang Huo about his weak constitution more than once.

However, as the chief strategist and prophet on the ship, it doesn't matter if Fang Huo is a little weak.

From now on, they will be in charge of protecting Fang Huo!

···

At this moment, Fang Huo was riding the Seven Star Demon Sword, flying gracefully in the air, observing the situation below.

Let's see if there are any familiar faces that can be recruited by the Rocks Pirates.

While we're at it, let's find the teleportation fruit user that Silver Axe mentioned.

He soon spotted a figure in black standing exceptionally straight.

This guy seemed out of place among the pirates around him, and his stance even resembled that of a Marine.
