In a remote sea area between Moonlight Province and Sasuba Kingdom.
In this sea area, the story of the Gold Grand Pirate Uunan is widely circulated.
Decades ago, the Gold Grand Pirate Uunan rose powerfully in the East Blue, specializing in robbing the wealth of bad people, and was determined to find all the gold and treasures in the world.
After Uunan suddenly disappeared, various false rumors spread, becoming more and more exaggerated.
It was ridiculously rumored that the Gold Grand Pirate Uunan possessed one-third of the world's gold, and that he had taken this gold and hidden it when he retired.
This led to countless pirates and Bounty Hunters in the East Blue searching for Uunan's gold treasure every year.
It must be said that the average IQ of people in this world is indeed a bit low.
Even the current Gold Emperor Tesoro doesn't have the ability to get that much gold.
A pirate who only left legends in the East Blue was actually rumored to be so exaggerated.
However, Wang Shi not believing it doesn't mean others don't believe it.
Gold Dragon Edradgo is a pirate extremely obsessed with gold.
He has been investigating Uunan's gold treasure for several years, searching and staying in this sea area for a long time.
He is determined to find the gold treasure left by the Gold Grand Pirate Uunan.
He had no intention of entering the Grand Line to make a name for himself.
...
"Captain!! This is bad! A fleet has appeared behind us!"
"What! Is it the Marine!"
"No, the flag is a bit familiar, it seems to be the flag of the Goa Empire."
"Huh? Goa Empire, the Goa Empire that's been making so much noise recently?"
"Yes, Captain, the sea area we are currently in seems to belong to the Goa Empire..."
"Damn it, daring to obstruct me from searching for gold treasure, I'll sink them!"
After a simple and crude exchange with his subordinates, Edradgo rushed to the stern of the ship and immediately began to activate his sound wave ability.
A golden light condensed in Edradgo's mouth, aiming at the distant fleet.
"Be destroyed for me!"
'Laser Sound Wave Cannon!'
Edradgo furiously blasted out a Laser beam.
But the next moment, two splashes of blood splattered from his shoulders.
"Ah!!"
The intense pain made his head shake violently.
In an instant, his Laser cannon, which was aimed at the fleet behind him, also began to swing wildly, even sweeping away a corner of his own pirate ship.
"It hurts so much!!"
Edradgo, who had stopped the Laser Sound Wave Cannon, fell to the ground screaming, and two bloody holes had appeared on his shoulders.
"What a powerful sniper!"
Golas, the fallen swordsman hired by Edradgo, broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and quickly hid behind the ship's rail, not daring to expose his body to a top sniper.
He didn't expect the opponent's sniper to accurately hit Captain Edradgo from such a distance.
Is this the Goa Empire that swallowed the four kingdoms of the East Blue?
Its strength is actually so powerful.
"Quick, help me heal!"
"Run!! Idiot!"
Edradgo shouted frantically; this was the first time he had been injured since he obtained the Sound Wave Devil Fruit ability.
In the past, any Marine and pirates he encountered were all sunk by his long-range cannon.
Today, an accident actually happened.
"Quickly row the boat and run!"
Golas was also scared and quickly cursed these ruffians, even moving himself.
...
On the fleet behind.
A portion of the Laser Sound Wave Cannon that was shot over was directly banished and confiscated by Wang Shi.
"Not bad, Van Auger, this is the effect a sniper should have."
Wang Shi laughed, those pirate groups and Marine that were equipped with snipers didn't even utilize the sniper's effect at all.
They just rushed up for boarding combat, so why recruit snipers and gunners?
Few pirates in the East Blue have Haki, and the attack power of firearms is still very considerable.
"What a powerful energy wave, stronger than my Wind Blade, and it shoots farther."
Eric's expression was solemn; the Laser Sound Wave of this Sound Wave Devil Fruit user was actually so powerful.
He estimated that he couldn't withstand one of Edradgo's shots.
But he believed that Edradgo also couldn't block his sharp Wind Blade.
It just depends on who hits whom.
Anyway, whoever gets hit first, dies first!
"Another Devil Fruit user?"
Zoro and Saka were all very wary.
In the past few days, they had already witnessed the powerful Wind Blade of Eric.
Now they are indeed a bit outmatched by Eric.
However, Zoro firmly believed that he would soon be able to cut through Eric's Wind Blade and find a way to defeat Eric.
"Chase them! Don't let them escape!"
At Wang Shi's command, the entire fleet began to accelerate.
Van Auger, sitting on the main mast, even playfully fired again, shooting down the flag of the Edradgo Pirate Group.
He also shot down the ropes of the Edradgo Pirate Ship's sails one by one until the entire sail fell down.
"What amazing marksmanship!"
Even swordsmen like Zoro were shocked by Van Auger's exquisite gunmanship.
As the Edradgo Pirate Group's sails were shot down, the speed of their pirate ship plummeted.
In less than half an hour, they had already been caught up to.
The fallen swordsman Golas was completely desperate; the Goa Empire's army was too strong, they couldn't fight at all.
"Quick, help me up! I can still shoot!"
Seeing the fleet surround them, Edradgo, with his injured arms, quickly shouted.
He wanted to wipe out these warships at close range.
"Still want to struggle!"
'Wind Blade: Wild Dance!'
Whirlwind Erick swung both his hands violently, directly unleashing dense Wind Blades, striking towards the Edradgo Pirate Group.
Cutting people by first cutting the ship, this was his usual operation as a Bounty Hunter.
"What dense Wind Blade slashes!"
Saka's eyes were full of envy; he still hadn't been able to unleash a flying slash wave.
The power of Devil Fruit abilities is indeed strong.
"Hmph, without Devil Fruit abilities, we will be able to freely unleash flying slashes in the future."
As a swordsman, Zoro has a swordsman's dignity; he will not eat a Devil Fruit.
Perhaps it is this persistence and confidence that gives him the opportunity to awaken Conqueror's Haki.
...
"Ah!!"
Intense screams rang out from the Edradgo Pirate Group.
Eric's Wind Blades were simply an invincible existence for these pirate ruffians of the East Blue.
"Damn it!"
'Laser Sound Wave Cannon!!'
Edradgo directly roared and fired a golden energy wave.
But the next second, he was dumbfounded.
His proud, unrivaled Laser Sound Wave Cannon simply disappeared before his eyes.
No matter how much sound wave energy he roared out, it seemed to evaporate, disappearing without a trace.
"How is this possible!"
"How could this happen!"
Edradgo was completely stunned; it was one thing for the sniper on the other side to be strong, but there was actually such a strange and rogue ability.
"King of Exile! It must be the legendary King of Exile!"
The fallen swordsman Golas cried out in terror, kneeling on the ground in despair, no longer daring to resist.
"King of Exile? You are the Emperor of the Goa Empire?"
Edradgo stopped his sound wave cannon, looking at the lavishly dressed young man, a hint of fear appearing on his face.
This was the Emperor of the Goa Empire who had exiled the kings of four nations and swallowed up four kingdoms.
Exiled King Wang Shi!!!
