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

Figo pondered: 'If I go looking for it again, I'll most likely encounter second-magnitude or even first-magnitude stars. Fourteen R8s and one R9? That's quite troublesome... After all, it's accumulated over millions of years... I hope that turtle really isn't as smart as it seems.'

Oh, and this too.

Figo chose the benefits of the Holy Demon King, opting for the power of the Demon Royal Family instead of physical enhancement.

His bloodline has taken another step towards the mythical level. It's a pity that the Holy Demon King spat out from the giant tortoise's mouth was stripped of his bloodline flame and no longer provides any benefits to his bloodline. Otherwise, Figo would already be a dual-ability or triple-ability user.

'I hope to awaken an ability that will enhance my power, allowing me to advance further.'

……

A few days later, in the capital city of Capri.

With a large number of soldiers stationed at the front lines, the area has been somewhat deserted lately.

However, on this day, the residents of the capital city, who were on the street, suddenly saw groups of soldiers from the Lantern Army passing through the block again.

What for? To reinforce the front lines?

Is the war going badly?

When Duke Urik, the only three-eyed genus member besides the Skeleton Emperor stationed in Capri, also headed towards the coast, a familiar sense of déjà vu washed over him.

It seems like there was a similar event more than half a year ago, and that time it was to welcome the King of the Stars, Figo!

Who are we welcoming this time?

Some curious onlookers went over and found that the soldiers and Urik were indeed waiting on the shore.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a large ship gradually appeared on the horizon.

The ship's design was quite different from that of the ship with the lights and stars. It was white, with a unique seagull flag hanging on it, and two unfamiliar characters written on the bow.

This script is not the same as the script used by the stars and the sky, but the residents of the capital city of Capri recognize it.

More than six years ago, the capital city specially set up a naval branch for Qinghai and the navy of the King of the Stars. These two words were written at the entrance of the naval branch.

justice!

"Qinghai Navy?"

It's definitely not that female major general. Why would Duke Urik personally greet her upon her return?

He shouldn't be the King of the Stars either.

So……

As the warship approached, the figure standing at the bow, wearing a naval cap and arms crossed, gradually came into view. The cloak of justice fluttering in the wind added to his imposing presence.

“This Qinghai Navy Admiral…” Urik opened his third eye: “He’s not weak.”

The people behind them were also quite powerful.

The arriving warships were filled with the backbone of the navy, led by Admiral Akainu of the Qinghai Navy, and supported by Vice Admirals Onigumo, Stobery, and others!

Besides them, there was another special person on the warship with an extraordinary status, whose position in Qinghai was almost as high as that of Akainu. After Figo brought them down from the sky, he was talking to him in the cabin.

"Please restrain yourself a little. The lamp and wick are relics of our ancestors. Even if it's for research purposes, don't destroy too much of them."

"Yes." Vegapunk, the chief scientist of Qinghai and a mad scientist who had surpassed Odak in his understanding of the stars, responded by looking at the lamp wicks around him, his eyes behind his glasses flickering with an eerie light.

Nami can light the banker's lamp, but Vegapunk has yet to light his.

The reason for this is that science and scientific research are not specific projects, but rather a general term.

There are too many categories. If you only focus on one aspect, like Odak who only researches robot wives, Vegapunk would have become famous much earlier with his talent.

But he refused.

He wanted to use the general term "scientific research" to ignite a fire!

Even after learning about the situation of the lamp's sparks, he had a vague feeling that the chance of ignition might lie in the research on the lamp's sparks and wicks. Now that he had finally arrived at the lamp's sparks, he had a thousand ideas in his mind that he wanted to try.

Seeing his state, Figo didn't say anything more. He returned to the deck and, seeing the distant Capri capital and Ulric, glanced at Akainu: "Sakazuki, put your hands down. You are guests, so be more courteous."

Akainu paused, then relaxed his arms.

Kindness? Isn't that making things difficult for me?

Chapter 381 Only You Are Incompetent

"Ha, I almost thought I'd been figured out, that these people were there to welcome me."

On the other side of the sea, Rillentofer stood quietly on the surface of the water and spoke to the mermaid demon general Zakalabi, who was soaking in the water beside him.

Zakalabi said worriedly, "Are the reinforcements from the Starry Sky arriving on Lightfire Star soon? The situation of our people is going to become even more difficult. And Lord Rilentorford is going to his death now..."

Rillen Torvor couldn't be bothered with this mentally challenged, clueless demon.

His journey was to the capital of Capri to meet the Skeleton Emperor and Figo, which, in Zakarabbi's eyes, was tantamount to suicide. But Rilentor knew that Figo and the Skeleton Emperor were most likely aware of the situation, and even if they weren't, he would persuade them to join forces against the behemoth and defy fate!

Of course, this is a little risky, and Rilsen Torvalds didn't initially intend to do it this way.

But he never expected that his ship spirit companion from more than three thousand years ago was now completely unreliable, acting like a lunatic, causing him to fail in his attempt to gain favor and recognition among the Celestial Dragons' descendants.

To acquire a large number of lamp wicks and flames to compensate for their weakness, there are not many options left.

Over the past few days, he assessed the difficulty of secretly controlling large merchant groups and ultimately decided to come to the capital of Capri.

time does not wait.

Moreover, no matter how large a merchant group is, its reserves of lights cannot compare to those of the capital city of Capri!

Seeing the warship dock, Rillen Torvald also walked ashore.

Zakalabi exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Lord Rillentorfer, are you really going?!"

Rilsen Torvald did not turn around.

……

Figo turned his head, a strange glint in his eyes, then turned back to Urik and said, "Duke Urik, please take Sakaski and the others to their lodgings. Sakaski, follow Duke Urik's instructions."

Both sides were somewhat surprised.

"King of the Stars, didn't we say we'd go to the palace first?" Urik asked doubtfully.

“We have guests arriving unexpectedly, so Barreru and I need to entertain them first,” Figo said.

"Guests?" Uriel wanted to ask again, but Akainu had already answered first, so he had to hold back. He gestured slightly and led the Blue Sea Navy reinforcements away from the crowd and deeper into the capital.

Figo didn't linger. In two flashes, he arrived at the Albita Palace and saw the Skeleton Emperor sitting on the huge throne, waiting. To the somewhat puzzled Figo, he said, "Liren Torfer has arrived."

Ghostly flames flickered in the Skeleton Emperor's eyes.

Two minutes later, the two people waiting in the palace met Rillentoffer.

His appearance was no different from the one the giant turtle spat out, and he was no different from the one who helped the Skeleton Emperor fight 3000 years ago.

With his silver-white hair and a long sword slung across his shoulder, he, as the number one figure in the previous generation of the Starry Sky, faced Figo and the Skeleton Emperor with a certain air of authority.

“Gaston Figo, I’ve heard so much about you, it’s great to finally meet you.” He said, “Barreru, the last time we met, you were a dashing young powerhouse, three thousand years have passed…”

There was a hint of emotion in his expression: "You two should know why I'm here, right?"

“I have a general idea,” Figo said, “but there are still some things we don’t know.”

"I established Tianlong Star. It was a deal, a deal between me and Lucifer, the Demon King. I helped him interfere with the starry sky in exchange for my intervention at a crucial moment in the battle three thousand years ago and the non-participation of the Demon Generals," Rilen Torford said.

"I feel guilty towards Xingkong. But the human race of Denghuo Star is also of the same origin. Xingkong will not perish for Tianlong Star. However, if I cannot take action, the human race of Denghuo Star may not be able to establish a country and settle down so easily."

Figo, having resolved a long-standing puzzle, shook his head, said nothing more, and handed the reins back to the Skeleton King.

The Skeleton King stood up.

Its 20-meter frame was towering even in this enormous palace, making the Rillentorf in front of it appear tiny in comparison.

"Although I should be grateful to you, Rilentor... senior, even though without your help in that battle, the best outcome would have been for me to drag the Demon Pillar down with me to my death, but..."

He sighed and said, "Even if the human race failed to establish a nation that time, even if the half-demon race was defeated by the demon race, even if we returned to that life of hiding and living in fear on the sea, I really didn't want it to end like this."

Seven thousand years of resistance!

His voice suddenly became louder: "If our ancestors knew that we were given a chance to breathe because of a deal with the Demon King, I wonder how angry they would be?!"

The questioning voices echoed through the palace!

Rillen Torvor paused, surprised by the Skeleton Emperor's reaction.

He frowned and said, "Are you sure you know everything?"

"The spirit of the lamp, the mysteries of the stars?" Figo asked. "Anything else?"

“…Spirit of the Lamp, that’s a very fitting name.” Riren Torvor offered a compliment similar to that of the Holy Demon King, but he was even more confused.

Since you know, why...

The Skeleton King remained silent, unwilling to say anything more.

Figo then said, "Just a few days ago, Barel and I went to the Holy Demon King's Palace and persuaded the Holy Demon King Baal to form an alliance with us in the fight against the Spirit of the Light."

The higher-ups of Starry Sky are already aware that reinforcements will be arriving at Lampfire Star to enhance their strength with the power of the lamp's wick. If you and Lucifer, the Demon King, are also determined to fight against the Spirit of the Lampfire, then Lampfire Star and Starry Sky can truly become a harmonious family, moving towards great unity.

Rilsen Torvalds had a bad feeling; he could clearly hear that there was a twist to Figo's words.

"But," as expected, Figo shook his head slightly and said, "Leaving aside how sincere and trustworthy Lucifer, the being created by the Spirit of the Lamp, is, or whether he is still controlled by the Spirit of the Lamp, just considering the hatred between the two sides, why do you think there is a possibility of cooperation between us?"

“It’s a temporary cooperation,” Rillen Torvor corrected. “In the face of a great crisis, setting aside personal grudges and uniting against the Spirit of the Light, if we fail, all is lost; if we succeed, then we can settle the score between the two sides. Isn’t this the choice a rational person should make?”

“That’s true, but there are always situations where it’s impossible to make a rational judgment.” Figo shook his head: “We must not let rationality make us lose our fighting spirit!”

Rilentor narrowed his eyes and looked at the Skeleton Emperor: "Sauti Bareru..."

“He’s the only one who won’t do,” the Skeleton Emperor said. “Lucifer is the only one who won’t do! I can ally with Baal, and even temporarily reach an agreement with Baimon if necessary, but Lucifer is the only one who won’t do!”

Rilsen's face darkened.

Figo added, "It's not just you guys who are failing! The damage Tianlong Star inflicted on the starry sky can't all be attributed to you, but you must bear a large part of the responsibility! Considering you helped Barelu in the fight, I'll let it go this time, but next time we meet, we'll be enemies!"

Lillen Torvor's expression changed drastically. A violent sword intent rose around him, stirring up the devices in the palace, but it vanished in an instant when it approached Figo and the Skeleton Emperor!

His chest heaved slightly as he stared at Figo and the Skeleton Emperor for a long while before finally turning away.

He was furious. Ever since his recovery, nothing had gone right! Damn it!

King of the Stars? A mere child, not worth discussing strategy with!

Moreover... I am the true King of the Stars, the number one in the starry sky!
