I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

Over the years, she had often heard news of Figo, but she never expected to have the chance to see him again.

She didn't hate Figo; death was a relief for Beelzebub, especially since Figo had helped Beelzebub take revenge by killing Vlavo.

"Since you've met him, you should be quite familiar with him. Do you think... if I were to invite him as a guest, would he come?"

"...It definitely will."

"Oh, then I won't invite him." The Holy Demon King muttered, "If I were to propose to that beautiful Navy girl, Doohuna, again, would he agree?"

Yana thought for a moment: "The Qinghai Navy is an egalitarian organization, and he will not comment on his subordinates' private matters such as marriage."

"This is so boring," the Holy Demon King shook his head and said, "What kind of 'King of the Stars' is this?"

Yana looked at him silently. How dare you say that to him? Your prestige isn't high either. Besides, that person is acting out of 'justice,' while your lack of prestige is due to your lust. Who can trust and respect an old lecher who only knows how to marry, have fun, and occasionally try to 'harass' female subordinates in the workplace?

Reading Yana's eyes, the Holy Demon King's old face showed some embarrassment and annoyance. He snorted, "You're all still young. Whether it's you or him, you're just children who are a little over a hundred years old. What do you know!"

Yana: "Yes (yes, yes, yes)."

"Really," the Holy Demon King muttered listlessly, "Life is finite. No one knows when they will die, or what absurd reason they will die."

Fate is predetermined; all we can do is enjoy each day we live.

For some reason, Yana sensed a pessimistic mood in the words of the Holy Demon King.

Looking up, she discovered that the Holy Demon King's large eyes were glowing green, staring at a certain protruding part of her body, and her face immediately darkened.

"My Lord, I take my leave."

"Hmm." The Holy Demon King withdrew his gaze, still savoring the moment, and waved his hand, saying, "I'm giving you a day off. I'll be going to see Sheniwei in a bit."

"Thank you, Holy Demon King."

Yana took her leave and wandered through the Holy Demon King's Palace, arriving at a corner where she resided as the deputy commander of the guards.

"Figo..."

Back in her room, she found a sealed, specially made metal box, opened it, and inside was a lamp shrouded in a transparent film, lying dormant.

The lamp has three layers of light, and in its deepest part, the outline is that of a ferocious beast with a hideous face.

Behemoth!

These are the lights left behind by Atho after his death!

The main reason Yana chose to become the deputy commander of the Holy Demon King's concubine's guards was this.

The Holy Demon King gave her Athos's lamp, and she owed him a great favor.

The light is the continuation of bloodlines after death. Yana had thought of searching for Beelzebub's light, but then she sadly remembered that Beelzebub's daughter, Ana, was still alive, and that Beelzebub's light would not be scattered like Atho's light.

"If he is the King of Qinghai, he should be able to find a good home for Yato's bloodline, right?"

Chapter 312 News of Arrival

The Sea of ​​Hilo, southwest.

As a neighbor of the Hall Merchant Guild, the Gebugu Merchant Guild had been paying close attention to what was happening in the nearby sea. Guild leader Gebugu was quite upset because he couldn't participate in the eight merchant guilds' division of the Serau Merchant Guild's sea area.

But what happened next made him both very fortunate and afraid.

One joined, seven were destroyed, and they were even captured and destroyed by the Light Army. This is terrifying.

The Lynch Merchant Guild smoothly occupied the sea area encompassing 485 islands. Anyone with eyes could see that it would not expand further in the short term and needed to stabilize its development. However, with a sharp sword hovering over its head, Gabugu could not feel at ease at all.

He had been actively investigating and contacting all the major powers he could reach, but ultimately he obtained the information through a network bug.

"King of the Stars..."

"How could it be the King of the Stars?!"

This result left him somewhat desperate. What should he do? Now that he was neighbors with the King of the Stars, should he join the Lynch Merchant Guild like the Don Quixote Guild in order to gain some respectability?

No, no way! This is the Starry Night, even the King of the Stars can't be too bullying!

"Where is the network bug operator? Get to him and study the Lynch Merchant Guild's activities properly. I need to see him immediately when needed!"

Some thought like him, while others chose to give up resistance and join the movement.

Inside the Lynch Business Group, there was jubilation. The moment everyone learned the truth, they all thought, "We're rich now!"

Surely a powerful figure like the King of the Stars wouldn't play tricks on us? The number of Lanternfishers and Core Finders joining the Lynch Merchant Guild surged dramatically. Even the island residents were more willing to trust the guild.

"Fufufu... Years of struggle are no match for Lord Figo's name." Doflamingo sighed as he looked at the result, then said ambitiously, "This is true power!"

After expressing his feelings, he, as the deputy captain of the transportation team, personally set off to deliver the lights.

……

'Gaston Figg, the King of the Stars, descended upon Mars and, on the coast of the royal capital of Capri, held a friendly meeting with the Skeleton Emperor.'

On another sea area, on a giant ship.

The Celestial Dragons sat together, watching the news, a somber atmosphere settling in.

A look of grief gradually appeared on Pelé's old face, and a long sigh echoed on the ship.

“Fauci and the other two are dead, otherwise he wouldn’t have entered the Flame of Light with peace of mind. Moreover, the time of their deaths coincided with the time I escaped into the Flame of Light from Gaston Figo’s clutches. His power is many times more terrifying than it was six years ago, and he has definitely ignited the sixth lamp!”

The white-browed man with five lamps already lit trembled slightly, while the other generals remained even more silent.

Thornos said, "It's a good thing he's stronger. Maybe it's true, as he said, that he can fight Lucifer alone in the future. He probably won't bother us anymore. For us, what's more important now is figuring out how to... kill Donald!"

Everyone looked at him.

Having experienced a series of events, the ship spirit who accompanied the founder of Tianlong Star, Rillentofer, became somewhat colder and tougher.

Bailey paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, compared to Gaston Figo, who has a different stance, Donald, who sided with the demons, is the greatest shame that we Celestial Dragons can never erase!"

……

As the first Tianlong Star immortal to enter the Light Star after being banished by Figo, Donald's ruthless decision to directly join the Demon Clan surprised many people.

After all, he was the mastermind behind the plan to liberate the demon race, and the Celestial Dragon who treated the demon race like pigs and dogs, and as playthings.

Equally surprising, the now divided demon race has chosen to accept him.

At this moment, he was speaking eloquently in front of the two supreme leaders of the demon race, the Twin Pillars of Demons.

"In the prophecy, the Land of Hope is the hope to defeat the Demon King again, and Gaston Figo is the king of the Land of Hope, the only strongest one in the Land of Hope! So it is very likely that he will be the one to fulfill the prophecy in the end!"

Believe me, he will be the biggest obstacle to the Demon King's return. While he has just arrived at the Flame of Light, before the second and third Flames have caught up with the Flame of Light in his body and become stronger, the two of them working together have a great chance to kill him!

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we can't afford to delay! I can use myself as bait to create this chance for you! Killing him is my only wish!"

……

The sea area inhabited by half-demons.

The half-demon king found Asmodeus and asked him questions similar to those the holy demon king had asked Yana.

Asmo said, "He is very strong, and he is getting stronger. I believe that at this time, he is at least no weaker than that old guy, the Holy Demon King. It is not a good time or a good choice to resolve the hatred with the demon race."

The half-demon king pondered for a moment: "You're thinking too simply. For us, whether the demons win a great victory or the humans win, it's not a good thing. If the two sides maintain a balance and neither can do anything to the other, then we, as half-bloods, can have the most stable life."

“You’re oversimplifying things, Father. What makes you think we can control their outcome? Both the Holy Demon King and Gaston Figo are capable of single-handedly destroying us,” Asmodius said.

"Hmph!" The old demon king was a little annoyed by his daughter's retort: ​​"It seems you are inclined towards humans? How about I propose to Gaston Figg for you and marry you to him?"

“I mentioned it, but he didn’t agree.” Asmoda revealed a captivating smile.

"...You're something else!" The half-demon king paused for a moment, then said, "He's something else too!"

……

News of Figo's arrival spread across the planet Lightfire at lightning speed via the internet.

From ordinary residents of the Hilo Sea to major merchant groups and adventurers who entered the Light Star ahead of time, and even the strongest forces on the Light Star, all have reacted to this in some way.

Meanwhile, Figo was at the naval branch in the capital city of Capri, rewarding the sailors.

They ventured deep into enemy territory alone, losing contact with Qinghai, solely to help the people of Qinghai who were lost in the depths of the starry sky. They endured immense pressure.

They performed their mission very well.

Having swum all the way from the Sea of ​​Hilo, Figo collected many lights.

"Pedro, this is for you."

“Little Naika, I didn’t approve of you coming to Deng Huoxing back then. I always thought of you as that poor seven-year-old girl… You’ve grown up.”

Because it required contact with various races, the advance team of the navy included members of various races, while the Qinghai Navy only had one barbarian, Naika.

Figo originally didn't want this barbarian girl, whom he had watched grow up and who had received special care from Kingche, to come, but she volunteered.

Two lamps have now been lit.

"This last one is for you, Doowana."

Figo handed the only level-three armed lamp to Doohuna: "This is just the beginning. We will have more lamps to use in the future."

Gazing at the lamp, Figo couldn't help but recall his secret conversation with the Skeleton Emperor a few hours earlier. He narrowed his eyes: "I haven't seen it, but I've heard descriptions. The protective membrane of the lamp when it slumbers... isn't it very similar to the protective membrane of planets in the starry sky?"

"Lord Figo, what is our next mission? Are we going to the Lynch Merchant Guild?" Doowuna asked.

“No.” Figo shook his head: “I will select some of you to form the Lantern Fishing Corps.”

Lantern Fishing Gangs are third-party maritime forces outside of merchant groups and pirates. They are usually composed of several people with considerable strength, specializing in lantern fishing, and cooperating with various merchant groups.

Is there a problem with the ship's spirit?

Let's try to see if we can create a ship spirit that belongs to the navy!

Chapter 313 The Feast of Fishing Lanterns

Figo's arrival was a big deal for many, but of course, there were others who didn't care.

The lives of the chipmakers in Biqi, who live in the Xijian Sea area, have not been affected in any way.

The Xijian Sea is located northeast of the Xiluo Sea, and the Linqi Merchant Group is located southwest of the Xiluo Sea. Combined, the distance is more than ten thousand miles, making it impossible for him to cooperate with the Linqi Merchant Group.

Besides, Beach was very satisfied with his life. He had married and had children in this place long ago, and they lived a happy and harmonious life. He had never thought about moving.

He wasn't an ordinary core hunter who relied solely on luck to search in shallow waters each day. He lit three lamps, one of which was a rare water-based lamp. Although he wasn't a fish-man, his swimming speed was no slower than that of ordinary fish-men. Moreover, after lighting the water-based lamp, ordinary sea creatures would be more friendly towards him, allowing him to venture into the deep sea.

Because of his considerable strength and exceptional skill in finding lamp wicks, several nearby merchant groups even treated him as an honored guest.

On this day, he once again ventured into the deep sea to search for advanced lighting in a location with few islands.
