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

The bloodline power left behind by the spirit of the Hades ship?

Wait, bloodline?

In an instant, a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Figo's expression suddenly became strange. From a genetic point of view, the people of the D clan... Hades' ship spirit had become 'powerful' to that extent?

“Gaston Figo, we have agreed to the three conditions you mentioned. Now we should release Saint Tecotamp as promised.” Saint Neilborough’s voice brought Figo back to his senses.

“We’ve discussed it, and we can give you another chance. As long as you release Saint Tycott as promised, you can take Lingling back to Impel Down and raise her as your successor. We can let bygones be bygones.”

This is the strategy that the five people discussed.

Show weakness!

Figo was indeed taken aback for a moment.

He knew that the Five Elders had just gone to meet with Im, so what did this reaction mean?

After thinking for two seconds, he said with a playful tone, "I'm already 70 years old. If I stay in Impel Down any longer, I'll really die of old age. You should investigate further."

"Has he taken the bait?" The Five Elders exchanged glances, unsure if Figo was being sincere. Raiola, true to form, declared, "Very well! Then you can just wait to die, Gaston Figo!"

Neil Borro Saint, standing nearby, tried to smooth things over, offering quiet reassurance before asking with some concern, "Figo, you won't break your promise, will you?"

“I’ve already said I wouldn’t resort to dirty tricks against you. We’re almost at the CP0 ship. Row faster, Silverfoot.” Figo agreed readily: “I will put the Tekotamp Saint on the CP0 ship. I hope you won’t break your promise regarding the airborne marshal appointment.”

The Five Elders were quite surprised by the speed and efficiency of the solution. With one condition—that Figo could back out after killing him—and two seemingly trivial but subtly concealed questions, Figo actually agreed to release Tecotamp Saint as promised.

They were prepared for the worst!

After all, people with low moral standards tend to use even lower-level ideas to consider other people.

What bad intentions could Figo possibly have?

Why not release it?

Of course we should release it!

What are prisoners who escape from prison?

That's GPS positioning!

Even if the Five Elders refuse all his conditions, Figo will find an excuse to release Tekotamp Saint, laying a trap. Soon after, Figo may reap the entire Celestial Dragon army!

The Five Elders felt they had made a good deal.

In fact, Figo didn't invest any money.

So what's next...?

Get ready for a massacre!

……

The next day, at Naval Headquarters.

I was sitting at home when the marshal came down from the sky.

Although Kong often complained about the trouble Figo's escape caused him, he still respected Figo, the uncle who had scolded him awake when he was a child, and had been worried ever since Figo refused to follow him and left alone.

But to his surprise, before he could receive any news from Figo, he suddenly received news of his promotion from Raul, whose face looked ashen and as if he were about to die.

Seven days later, he will take over as marshal.

The news was so sudden that it was almost unbelievable, and even after it was spread throughout the entire navy, some sailors found it hard to believe.

That evening, many older Doug-class and younger Mia-class naval personnel, including Kong, gathered at Mia's house to discuss the matter.

At 72 years old, Mia's hair is half white. Because of her tall and excellent physique, she has not become a thin old lady, but she looks old, and you can only vaguely see her youthful charm.

Listening to everyone's chatter, Mia smiled faintly and said, "Figo is a man who can't stand being alone. It seems he's done something earth-shattering again."

The veteran sailors all wore the same smile.

The young sailors, however, were curious, as they had no chance to meet Figo, a legendary figure who only existed in stories.

They were a little embarrassed to ask Steelbone Kong, so they could only look longingly at Mia.

Mia smiled and said, "You should be able to see him soon, and be prepared. Justice is not just something to talk about. Figo will probably have some things he needs us to do."

Even she, after finally learning about the Pleasure Street incident a few days later, couldn't help but be in a daze for a while. No wonder you don't age. You really are a monster in human skin, Figo.

This explosive news cannot be covered up by the World Government. Capturing the Four Kings and their pirate crews on his own, and defeating the combined forces of the previous generation's king, Gluttony, and the captain and first mate of Rocks, is unprecedented and will probably never be repeated!

The marines were fascinated by the legendary naval hero Figo. The elite battalion and the recruit camp constantly discussed this great senior, and many even regarded Figo as their life goal!

18-year-old Tsuru, 16-year-old Zephyr, 21-year-old Sengoku... all yearn for and admire Figo.

The 80-year-old Xize almost fainted, and he talked about his past to everyone he met.

The guards who had served in Impel Down even put a face-to-face sticker of how well I knew Warden Figo!

Gradually, an unspoken title began to circulate among the marines: The King of the Navy!

……

"What Navy King? Warden Figo is from Impel Down, he should be the King of Impel Down!"

Because CP0 sent the four fake kings to Impel Down, the jailers inevitably learned of it as well. However, compared to the others, they were much calmer, only dissatisfied with the titles.

What's wrong with the director who could single-handedly fight three generals in the Holy Land 25 years ago?

These people are making a big fuss over nothing!

Only Jinqie, holding his thermos, stared blankly at the four newly added, subpar kings of Impel Down's sixth level for a long while: 'Am I going to be the warden?'

……

The pirate world receives news a few days slower than the navy, since almost all the pirates in the entertainment district have been wiped out. If the commotion hadn't been so huge, the news would have spread even later.

Compared to Naval King and Impulse King, they gave Figo a more imposing title—

King of the World!

There's no way we can call him One Piece.

Calling them the King of the World might offer them a small comfort, but it couldn't hide the desolation in their hearts; they felt that being a pirate was a dead-end profession.

Within days, several large pirate crews disbanded and went home to farm. Of course, there were always those who were reckless, thinking that with the Four Kings and Rocks' captain and vice-captain all dead, it was their turn to take over, and they started a new round of fighting.

The new world is engulfed in war, and countless innocent people are caught up in it, with death and suffering everywhere.

But suddenly a piece of news silenced the great pirates who were on the move.

Rocks, the captain of the Rocks Pirates, and his vice-captain Chrissy, who should have been captured, suddenly returned to the Rocks Pirates' ship!

The Rocks Pirates are experiencing a series of pleasant surprises. During this period of leaderlessness, some pirates insist on rescuing their two captains, while others declare they must first strengthen themselves and unify the New World.

When morale is low, it's hard to lead a team.

"Captain, First Mate, how did you escape?" the pirates asked.

Escape? How could I possibly escape? Figo's words echoed in Crisisi's mind.

"Next, I need to focus on dealing with the World Government and do something big. I don't have much free time to pay attention to the pirates anymore."

All four kings' pirate crews have been captured. If you and Rocks also disappear, and the Rocks Pirates split up, the sea will be in chaos. Countless innocent people will be caught up in the chaos and lose their lives in vain. Therefore, I can let you go back.

You know what I expect from you and Rocks. I hope you won't disappoint me, otherwise, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I'll find you and capture you.

He told the pirates, "The King of Gluttony saved us. Originally, the captain and I had been captured, but the King of Gluttony's pica suddenly flared up, and he attacked wildly, even sinking the entertainment district. I took the opportunity to fly away with the captain."

"Really? That's great!"

"Captain, are you alright?"

"That Gaston Figo is inhumanly strong, how can there be such a guy?"

When questioned, Lockes remained silent.

Chrissy looked at him with some worry and guilt. Ever since he explained the truth about the saintess to Locke, Locke had been in this state. Rather than remaining silent, Chrissy would have preferred Locke to explode in anger.

"……captain?"

"I won't lose again." After a long silence, Rocks finally spoke: "Is the Devil Fruit still on the ship? Bring it to me."

"Next time, I will definitely not lose to him again!" he said resolutely, clenching his fist.

The crew members were stunned for a moment, then cheers erupted.

"Of course!!"

"This is Captain Rocks!"

"Next time, we won't just be left watching and running for our lives!"

Krissy breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

……

A few more days passed.

The news spread in various versions, and the newspapers controlled by the World Government no longer blocked it, choosing instead to publicize the situation.

They ignored the involvement of world governments and simply recounted the events as they were.

This time, the name of Gaston Figo, the King of the World, resounded even more throughout the ocean, and as time goes by, it is likely that few will forget him!

Roger, who had just entered the Grand Line, heard the legend and exclaimed excitedly.

Edward Newgate, a mere 16-year-old wandering aimlessly with no direction for the future, exclaimed in amazement.

One of the Rumbar Pirates' afro-haired musicians joked loudly, "If we keep being pirates, the King of the World will come looking for us and throw us all in jail!" He was then beaten up by his crewmates.

But Figo, the central figure in the legend, has never appeared, and his whereabouts are unknown.

He was not present when he was appointed Marshal.

Silver Feet returned to the Navy Headquarters and left Lingling in Mia's care temporarily while he was away.

He didn't appear when the sea was churning.

The Five Elders, who were well-prepared, held meetings every few days, anxious about Figo's disappearance and the failure to complete Lord Im's mission. They tried to call the Den Den Mushi in Figo's possession, but the call was never answered.

After the battle in Pleasure Street and his disembarkation from Silverfoot's ship, Figo seemed to have vanished.

Time flies, and a month has passed.
