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

Everything was as calm as it was before the arrival of the Fishman King.

The tranquility was shattered when a massive shadow emerged from the seabed: "Humans! Get out of Lord Bashtosh's territory and don't disturb the peace of this sea!"

The colossal sea monster, over six thousand meters tall, blotted out the sun and resembled both a bull and a horse, its ferocious form radiating a chilling aura and an extreme sense of oppression.

Behind it, several enormous sea beasts, each two to three thousand meters long, emerged. Each species had a different appearance, and none were weaker than the Four-Lantern King!

Six dukes arrived immediately. Under the solemn gaze of the fishermen, Duchess Bambri remained calm and asked Figo in a gentle tone, "King of the Stars, how shall we eat?"

Braised pork ribs, braised pork hock, braised pork belly, bamboo shoots roasted on a stone slab...

The next day, the fishing lantern group gained an average of ten pounds.

So fragrant.

Chapter 326 The Defector

Perhaps it was because the battle had alerted the level-five swordsmanship Lantern, or perhaps it was because Fauqi's Lantern still remembered Figo's presence, that the search for Lantern did not go smoothly afterward.

After enjoying the sea monster, Figo and the six dukes carried out the land reclamation project, but the level 5 lights were not found in the target sea area.

Meanwhile, the blockade of the sea by the Cassie Merchant Guild gradually lost its effectiveness.

More and more merchant groups and fishing boats, having learned of the news, gathered in the nearby waters. Although they dared not offend the six dukes of Capri, they only searched the outer edges. There were too many of them, and the dukes could not violently drive them away.

Faced with this situation, the dukes chose to win people over with money, offering a reward of 10 billion star coins for the location of the level-five lamp, and recruiting the lamp hunters who came after hearing the news to their service.

In any case, no one but them could take away the level 5 swordsmanship lamp.

What they were originally worried about were, firstly, merfolk, secondly, sea monsters, and thirdly, the appearance of a hidden Level 5 Light King who would benefit, just like last time.

Now that we only need to pay attention to the third point, no one is feeling anxious.

As for the sea monster named Bashtosh, it was eaten a quarter of its body, but it managed to find two more of its kind to help it. As a result, the fishing lantern group gained an average of ten pounds, and they probably won't dare to come back anytime soon.

After this continued for half a month, Figo bid farewell to the dukes.

"I don't know when that level-five lamp will be found again. I need to go back to my merchant guild first. Also, the naval lantern-fishing guild is probably almost ready."

Most of the six dukes breathed a sigh of relief at Figo's departure.

They all regretted inviting Figo.

What strength are they testing?

Have you discovered a major problem?

Ignorance is bliss!

"King of the Stars, shall I send you away by ship, or..."

"No need, I'll swim back."

"Then, should I arrange for someone to deliver the lanterns you caught to Capri or the merchant caravan?"

"No need for that. You can keep the lamps. Although you don't need the lamps and wicks, this is to apologize for the trouble we caused you."

"No, no, no, we..."

Be polite and friendly.

After much hesitation, Figo finally left the area alone.

The dukes looked at each other, as if the 'turn against' and crushing of them that day were just an illusion.

"Did the Great Emperor actually have the sixth level of the lamp and ignite the sixth lamp?"

After a long while, someone asked this question.

Someone else replied, "So what if the light level is six? The King of the Stars is a monster."

How could there be such a person?

"Don't even think about it. We were just being narrow-minded and got a lesson. We should be grateful that he's human and didn't wipe us out."

"Sigh, let's keep looking for that level-five swordsmanship lamp... while he's not around."

"Ah."

Unbeknownst to the six, after swimming a thousand miles, Figo sank to the bottom of the sea and waved to a light hidden beneath a reef.

I've found you!

……

It wasn't that Figo discovered the Level 5 Sword Art Lamp during his search a few days ago, but rather that he knew the location of the Sword Art Lamp after that battle and hadn't come to look for it.

The event-pointing feature once again helped him accurately locate the person!

All six dukes share the same character event: [Help them or find and retrieve the Level 5 Swordsmanship Lantern on their behalf!]

With a single arrow pointing, the lights have nowhere to hide.

Figo's swordsmanship, however, was not bright enough to reach level four, and was ultimately rejected.

After Fauci's sword lamp was found by Figo, it immediately launched an attack on Figo. However, the powerful slash was extinguished by Figo with a casual flick of his wrist, without even causing a commotion.

The lights immediately fled into the distance.

Figo followed closely behind.

And so, Figo chased the level-five lamp out of the Xijian Sea area and into the Xiluo Sea area!

Then I left it here.

There's no rush to catch them. Figo is a swordsmanship genius and doesn't need them. He also hasn't decided who to give these extremely valuable lights to.

Let's store it in the sea for now.

Since it has already been located by his satellite, this sword-wielding lamp cannot escape his grasp.

Besides, everyone over there was still fishing all over the sea, so he felt a little embarrassed to turn off the lights like that.

Afterwards, he returned to the Lynch Merchant Guild to confirm that the guild's development was still on track, checked Lynch's cultivation progress, and listened to Lucilia's report on major and minor matters before heading to the capital of Capri.

After assigning a special mission to the Fishing Lantern Corps formed by the Navy, Figo entered the palace and had a long private conversation with the Skeleton Emperor before leaving again.

The figure disappeared into the vast sea.

……

Hundreds of thousands of miles away from Capri, on the other side of the distant sea, stand cities with architectural styles completely different from Capri.

The overall color scheme is predominantly black and purple.

Walking through the streets and alleys, you'll mostly see people with black or purple horns!

This is Scots.

The realm of demons!

Unlike the relatively relaxed atmosphere of Capri, the main theme here is tension and repression.

Human children and the elderly can live in peace.

The demon race, however, is almost entirely composed of soldiers!

They formed legions one after another, training and practicing day after day, fighting against sea beasts, clashing with human legions guarding the sea borders, and actively preparing for war.

Be ready at any time to welcome Lucifer's return!

However, it differs from Capri in one way: Capri's capital is on the coast, while Scordas' capital is located deep inland.

On this day, in a coastal town, a group of demons dressed in purple armor and fully equipped intercepted a small boat that was about to set sail. Amid the demons' terrified pleas for mercy and cries for mercy, they were slaughtered and their blood was spilled into the sea!

"Yes, sir. The eleven individuals who were misled by the traitor and attempted to travel to the traitor's kingdom have all been killed! Yes! Yes!"

The demons on the ship were all people who couldn't stand life in Scordas and wanted to go to the legendary demon capital of pleasure, the Holy Demon King's City.

In such cases, Scodas would impose the most severe punishment—death!

Squad leader Garros completed the report using a Den Den Mushi and prepared to clean up the corpses and leave.

Just then, a demon suddenly pointed to the distant horizon and said, "Captain! There seems to be someone over there in the sea!"

"Ok?"

Garros turned his head, his brow furrowing slightly: "A human?!"

Walking across the sea, it seems like you can cover hundreds of meters in one step. What kind of ability is that?

And how dare the humans come to Scordas?

Something unusual must be going on. Garros didn't act rashly, but instead asked loudly:

Who are you?!

"Go and contact the Twin Pillars of the Demon Race."

In the blink of an eye, the tall human man was standing on the beach, looking down at the 11 dead demons, then looking up and speaking.

"Gaston Figo has come to kill the human traitor, Donald."

"...The starry sky, the king of the starry sky?!"

Chapter 327 The Twin Pillars of Demons

Gaston Figo?

In the magnificent library, a demon buried in a thick book looked up, his flawless face showing a slight furrow in his brows.

His name is Baimon, one of the two pillars of the demon race, the supreme commander of the demon race, the All-Knowing Pillar!

He was about six meters tall, with a strong and masculine physique, but he also had a face that was more beautiful than most women.

After a few seconds of contemplation, he closed the books, neatly placed them back in their empty slots on the bookshelf, and left the library as the demons beside him bowed in greeting.

His long, flowing purple-black robe made him appear to be both walking and floating, and all the demons bowed their heads deeply to him as he walked.

Upon arriving at the Demon King's Palace, in front of the spacious hall, one of the two thrones was already occupied by another Demon Pillar.

The demon was even taller and stronger, with dark skin, except for its lips, which were bright red like blood, giving it a bewitching and terrifying aura.

“It seems you received the news before I did, Astaroth,” Baimon said.

“No, I just didn’t think as much as you, and I was a bit faster than you.” Astaroth’s lips curled up slightly. “You refused when Donald suggested that we find an opportunity to take action against Gaston Figo as soon as possible. Now that he’s come to us, what do you plan to do?”

"Give Donald to him."
