He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

boom!!

Suddenly, the huge meteorite emitted a thunderous roar.

From bottom to top, cracks spread out from the surface of the meteorite, forming dense lines, and countless dust particles fell down.

Even something as hard as a meteorite couldn't withstand being hit by Tyranitar's immense force; it shattered into pieces within just a few breaths.

The once intact meteorite was broken into countless rocks of varying sizes, which, accompanied by raging flames, fell like a rain of fire across the vast desert, accompanied by a deafening roar.

Although Tyranitar shattered the meteorite, the scattered fragments could still cause extraordinary damage.

The desert was riddled with huge craters, a scene of devastation, with thick dust billowing in the air for a long time.

Tyranitar landed back on the ground.

This attack undoubtedly proved Tyranitar's true strength!

That concludes our discussion.

With a smile, Yi Xiao, leaning on his cane, walked firmly to Gu Xin, his wooden clogs leaving clear footprints in the sand.

He walked straight through the smoke and dust, yet his kimono remained completely untouched by any dirt.

Seeing that the battle was finally over, Gardevoir led Vivi and the others to teleport to Guxin's side, and everyone gathered together.

Yixiao stopped in front of Guxin, recalling what she had seen and heard over the past three months. Her expression was complex, and she sighed from the bottom of her heart:

"There are far too many filthy and despicable people in the world that are unbearable to look at."

"Being unable to see is a blessing in disguise, so I have blinded myself."

"But now, I feel a little regretful."

"I really want to see you with these eyes... and the world you will create with your own hands in the future."

"I have been lost for half my life. Although I have some meager strength, I have never been able to find the right direction, and thus I have accomplished nothing."

"The seas are teeming with filthy and despicable individuals. I once thought the navy was a righteous force, but with such corrupt roots, justice has nowhere to hide!"

"Now, I have finally found a glimmer of hope!"

With a smile, he slightly opened his eyes, bowed his head slightly to Gu Xin, and said firmly, "Please allow this old man to do his part!"

He entrusted his life and fortune to the man before him!

A smile and powerful words echoed across the desert.

Gu Xin was filled with emotion.

With a smile, he realized that the naval admiral from the original work had actually been successfully recruited and become one of his crew members.

It's no exaggeration to say that Issho is definitely one of the top combatants in the One Piece world. With him on board, the sense of security increases significantly.

"I will not let you down." Gu Xin extended his right hand to shake hands with Yi Xiao. From now on, Yi Xiao would be his powerful ally!

If it weren't for the fact that it was a bit strange, he would have said, "Today I have a good laugh, like a fish in water."

"Yay! Mr. Issho has joined us too!" Chopper jumped up excitedly. "Now there are five of us!"

Chopper and Vivi were thrilled to see Yixiao join them. Although Van Augur appeared calm on the surface, the smile on his lips betrayed his true feelings.

They had just witnessed Gu Xin and Yi Xiao's sparring match. How could they not be happy to have such a righteous and powerful partner?

After they finished speaking, everyone returned to the palace.

He had other things to say.

In the hall, everyone sat around the table, silently waiting for Gu Xin to speak.

"As you all know, one of my purposes in killing Crocodile was to replace him and become the new Shichibukai."

"This identity is very delicate, existing in a gray area between black and white." Gu Xin said seriously, "If you want to act conveniently, this identity is extremely important. It can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble and give you more say."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded subconsciously, expressing their strong agreement with the idea.

Then, Gushin flipped his right hand, and a newspaper appeared in his hand as if by magic. He pointed to the news of the Seven Warlords Conference issued by the Navy and said:

"In theory, the Shichibukai meeting is just a formality. In the past, when a Shichibukai died, the person who killed him would succeed him."

"But this time it might be different." At this point, Gu Xin said with a slight embarrassment, "Because I killed one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and offended two others, which means I've provoked nearly half of them."

Everyone knows about this.

Gushin killed Moria's subordinates and Doflamingo's henchmen, which indeed angered these two Shichibukai.

"In that case, they are very likely to make trouble at this meeting and prevent you from becoming the next Shichibukai," Issho said in a deep voice.

"That's right," Guxin affirmed.

"I have offended Moria and Doflamingo, and both of them are vindictive. If they raise different opinions at the meeting, our plans may fall through."

"So I've come up with a solution." Gu Xin smiled and said sincerely, "Although you've only just joined, this important task can only be entrusted to you."

"Issho, you must go to Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, to attend this meeting, and then recommend me to succeed as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

Lafitte did just that in the original story.

As Blackbeard's subordinate, Laffitte went alone to Marine Headquarters to recommend Captain Blackbeard for the position of Shichibukai.

This method can also be applied to the current predicament.

If Issho participates in the meeting, he can easily deal with the challenges from Doflamingo and Moria, demonstrate his strength, and obtain the Shichibukai position that rightfully belongs to him!

If he were to personally step forward, it would seem as if he lacked confidence.

In situations like these, it's usually the team's deputy who should step in.

His smile represents his dignity.

Actually, this role would have been more suitable for the "veteran" Van Auger, but unfortunately he doesn't have the ability yet.

Only Yixiao has this ability.

"I understand." He smiled solemnly. "I will definitely handle this matter well and will not let those two succeed!"

This was the first task Guxin had given him, and he was determined to do it perfectly.

"Okay, it's settled then," Gu Xin said with a smile.

He's already starting to look forward to it.

It's a pity I couldn't be there in person.

Otherwise, he really wanted to see Doflamingo and Moria's reactions when they discovered Issho's immense strength.

That would be very interesting.

This news was released a few days ago, which means the meeting will be held in just over half a month, and Yixiao needs to go ahead of time.

During this time, Guxin did not intend to be idle.

He had already decided on his next destination: a small garden near Alabasta, which was also a good place to breed Pokémon.

With the addition of Vivi and Issho, the team has already taken shape, and Gushin thinks it's time to consider the pirate crew's name and flag design.

After discussion, the most common practice was adopted: the name was chosen after the captain, namely, the [Guxin Pirates].

The flag has a black background with a large red and white sphere in the center, and a standard skull and crossbones design in the center.

Gusin also gave the ship a name, calling it the Victini.

Victini is a Pokémon that symbolizes victory, and it is hoped that it will bring good luck so that they will never taste defeat in the future.
