The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

Although he has not yet told the Five Elders that he has obtained such a stone, he has already planned to use it as an exchange for the "Heavenly Gold" offering next year.

This request is not excessive, and I believe the Five Elders will agree.

"what!"

A piercing scream rang out, and the princess, who followed and rushed into the treasure vault, collapsed to the ground, clutching her head.

"My treasure! It's all gone!"

"Pirates! It must have been done by pirates!"

King Malaga snapped out of his daze, took out a Den Den Mushi, and dialed the Five Elders.

He must get the World Government to send in the navy to retrieve all his treasure!

With that stone inside, he believed the Five Elders would definitely take it seriously!

5,000 meters above the ground

A huge pirate ship hovered, or more accurately, an island.

The ship's base is not made of wood, but rather a single, thick, solid, giant rock and soil island.

The island's rocky terrain is rugged, with thick, towering ancient trees serving directly as masts, and several square, brownish-red giant sails stretched between their branches.

The largest mainsail is emblazoned with a prominent logo: a skull topped with a lion's mane.

Flying Pirates!

As the historical inscription stele landed with a "thud" on the grassy area of ​​the island ship, Shiki leaped down from the top of the stele and walked towards his welcoming subordinates, laughing loudly.

"Connor, see if this is the historical record you mentioned that contains the whereabouts of a super weapon."

Upon hearing this, the young man at the head of the group, who had a scholarly air about him, pushed up his glasses, stepped past Shiki, and went to the main text of the history to study it carefully.

He was an orphan who was adopted and raised by a teacher, who also taught him about ancient Chinese characters.

Unfortunately, he is not very talented in ancient writing, and over the years he has only been able to understand a small portion of the text.

He originally thought he would spend the rest of his life immersed in books, but he never expected that CP agents would come knocking on his door and kill his teacher, who was like a father to him.

In order to avenge his teacher, he used some information he heard from his teacher about "ancient weapons" as a stepping stone to join the Flying Pirates.

He wants Shiki to obtain the "Ancient Weapons" and destroy the World Government to avenge his teacher!

but……

Connor only had a superficial understanding of ancient writing, which he found very difficult to decipher, and he could only deduce the meaning from the few characters he recognized.

After looking at it for a long time, he could only deduce that it was a stone tablet recording the method of using the special plant "IQ", and not the one he was looking for.

"That's not it."

Connor gritted his teeth and shook his head unwillingly.

"It's just that on an island called Vermeer, there grows a plant that can accelerate the evolution of organisms."

"In that case, it's useless."

Shiki pouted in dissatisfaction, took out a cigar, lit it, and strode toward the main hall of the island ship.

After walking a few steps, he remembered something, stopped, and turned to look at Connor.

"Connor, besides you, is there anyone else who can read ancient texts?"

“…I don’t know, maybe.” Connor shook his head, his glasses reflecting a cold light, making it impossible to see his eyes.

In fact, he knew that on an island called Ohara in the Western Sea, there were many scholars who could read ancient scripts.

But O'Hara was his teacher's hometown, and he didn't want to drag people from his teacher's hometown into it.

Shiki gave Connor a meaningful look, said nothing more, and strode into the main hall.

Then, his voice drifted out from the main hall.

"Besides the Poneglyphs, you guys also keep an eye on the whereabouts of the Pete Pirates. I'm going to use the treasure they stole from John to recruit more troops!"

"Yes, Boss Shiki!"

"..."

Mary Geoise, Between Powers.

"I suspect it was done by the currently most talked-about 'Flying Admiral' Shiki the Golden Lion."

Garin sat on a single sofa, his elbows propped on his knees, his gaze sweeping across the five people in front of him, some sitting and some standing.

Standing by the window, Saint Satan, leaning on his cane, nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Only the Float-Float Fruit and the Gravity Fruit can make an object float. There are currently no users of the Gravity Fruit on the high seas, so it can only be the Float-Float Fruit user, Shiki, who did it."

"Saint Garin, take the Knights of God with you. We can't let that dangerous Golden Lion touch the Void Century," Saint Vochuli added.

At this, Garin Sei's brows gradually furrowed.

While Shiki was slightly inferior to Whitebeard in terms of raw strength, he commanded the largest number of troops of any pirate!

Even when the Rocks Pirates still existed, they didn't have as many troops as Shiki does now.

More importantly, Shiki always has the strength of an entire island under his command, unlike other pirates whose fleets develop separately.

This is also the origin of the recent nickname "Flying Admiral" for Golden Lion. Many people were swallowed up by the pirate waves under his command before they even saw Golden Lion's face.

Chapter 113 Confront the Demon Orb, Knights of God!

"I see."

Despite his inner turmoil, Arin Sei, being an arrogant and conceited person, forced himself to agree.

However, Somaz, who was standing behind him, disagreed and became so anxious that he jumped up and down.

"Are you kidding me? You expect our Knights of God to face the forces of an entire island?!"

"And several of them are out on missions, so the Knights of God can't be all together."

“You can ask your brother John for help. Isn’t he the one who possesses the ‘King’s Qualification’?”

Nasujiro Sei, who was sitting on the corner floor with his sword in hand, offered a "kind" reminder.

Upon hearing "the king's qualifications," Garin Sei frowned even more, feeling that his position was threatened.

He is the king of God Valley, and he will not allow a second "king" to exist!

Before Garin could refuse, Somaz quickly agreed.

"Okay! I'll call John right away."

"..."

Garin Sei was very unhappy that his subordinate had agreed on his own initiative, but then he thought it was a good opportunity.

He wanted to see just how much "John Saint," who had recently gained fame among the Celestial Dragons, really amounted to.

Who is the strongest among the new generation? Sooner or later, we'll see!

next morning

The rear half of the red continent

As the bubble elevator descended, several figures dressed in white military uniforms with gold trim emerged, crossed the bridge, and boarded the World Government's exclusive lion-head ship.

The leader was none other than Garin Sei, who had a golden crescent-shaped hairstyle. He stood on the deck and looked around.

"It's already time, hasn't he arrived yet?"

"I'll call and ask right away."

In front of the Supreme Commander of the Knights of God, Somaz acted very humbly and quickly took out a Den Den Mushi to call John.

Brubru

As the call was dialed, in addition to the sound of the Den Den Mushi ringing in Somaz's hand, a faint voice also came through.

As it drew nearer, it became increasingly clear.

As the cabin door creaked open, another "whoosh" sound rang out on the deck. Garin and the others looked in the direction of the sound and saw a blond figure in a black trench coat.

"Can't you guys be a little more punctual? I've been waiting for you here for seventeen minutes."

John held a plate in his left hand and a fork in his right, stuffing a piece of steak into his mouth while the sound of a Den Den Mushi continued to come from his trench coat pocket.

His casual attire and behavior, coupled with his crude self-reference as "I," made Garin and his group frown.

"You rude scoundrel!"

A cold, arrogant rebuke rang out. John followed the sound and raised an eyebrow when he saw the owner of the voice.

This is a woman with long blue hair and heterochromatic red and blue eyes. Although her mouth and nose are wrapped in white bandages, her beautiful face can still be vaguely seen.

It was precisely because his mouth was covered by bandages that John had to look for the person by the sound, rather than by looking at the action of opening his mouth.

It's worth mentioning that this woman's attire was even more rude.

Underneath the standard military uniform was an ultra-short skirt, so short it barely covered her buttocks, and her dark blue underwear was faintly visible as the sea breeze blew.

"Oh, Fa! Can you please put your pants on?"

"This is my freedom, and you're a rude pervert who stares at others!"

Manmaiya felt the man's burning gaze focused on her legs and glared back without flinching.

John laughed when he was called a "pervert".

He tossed the plate into the sea, then began to take off his trench coat and shirt, and unbuckle his belt...

"John Saint, what are you doing? Stop right now!"

When John took off his clothes in front of everyone, Garin's pupils dilated and he immediately shouted to stop him.

However, John completely ignored Garin and stripped himself naked, revealing his sleeping dragon.

Then, John put his hands on his hips, raised his chin, and said to the stunned soldiers:

"Oh, Fa! You perverted bastard, staring at a naked man like that, you have no shame!"

"you!"
