Several days later.
At a large casino on Twin Serpent Island in the West Blue.
“What! Germa 66’s snail warship, the North Sea Overlord, appeared at the port? And a warship too?”
“Yes, that’s right! There’s also a luxurious, large warship, and its flag seems to be that of the Goa Empire from the East Blue!”
“Damn it! Why are both the North Sea Overlord and the East Blue Overlord in the West Blue today?!”
“Let’s see what these bastards are doing in our West Blue!”
“For the glory of the West Blue! We can’t lose face, we can’t be shamed!”
“Let’s go, to the port!”
“For the West Blue!”
“West Blue!!”
...
A large group of gangsters rushed to the port to see what these uninvited guests were doing.
The casino boss immediately called the gang, hoping that Capone Bege, the Godfather of the underworld, would come to support them and compete with the East Blue Overlord.
“As expected of the pirate-ridden West Blue, pirate ships openly anchor in the ports of Allied Nations.”
Marquis Aramaki snorted. He remembered that Twin Serpent Island was an island under an Allied Nation, yet it was so chaotic, with pirates and gangsters running rampant.
In his eyes, non-Allied Nations people and pirates were all inferior beings without legal status, who should be trampled underfoot and not deserve human rights.
If a pirate ship flying a pirate flag appeared in the Taya Kingdom of the South Sea, it would have long been a battle achievement on his record.
“It seems the Sopegi Kingdom, like the Flower Country and the Sang Country, is an Allied Nation for pirates, where even gangs are legal.”
“More accurately, the Sopegi Kingdom should be called an Allied Nation for gangsters.”
Tashigi began to explain. In fact, she also didn’t understand why the World Government accepted the celestial tribute from these pirate kingdoms and gangster kingdoms, turning these chaotic nations into legal Allied Nations.
It is said that Marine Admirals from the North Blue and West Blue are the most ferocious.
This is inextricably linked to the chaotic environment of the North Blue and West Blue.
Admiral Akainu and Admiral Kizaru are both from the North Blue.
Tashigi had also heard from Colonel Smoker that Admiral Sakazuki lost his parents at a young age and had already taken up a sword to fight for survival and revenge, upholding Absolute Justice.
He is the most cold-blooded and cruel towards pirates!
Upon hearing Tashigi’s explanation, King Wang Shi fell into thought.
‘Perhaps it’s precisely these chaotic islands where the underworld is legal that would make Issho, the Royal Offender, choose to live in seclusion and rot here.’
King Wang Shi recalled a certain Oda’s country, where gangs were also legal.
“Your Majesty, more and more people are gathering. Do we need to deal with them?”
Marquis Aramaki looked expressionlessly at the gangsters and even some pirates who were watching the show.
He really wanted to slaughter all these smiling, frivolous pirate scum.
“King Wang Shi, those pirates’ eyes are so scary. They don’t even seem to fear us Marines.”
Tashigi was a little flustered, and the Marines under her command were even more so. Suddenly coming from the peaceful East Blue to the chaotic West Blue, their strength was simply not enough.
In the relatively peaceful South Sea, they could still rely on the Marine flag to scare away those ill-intentioned scoundrels.
But in the West Blue, it seemed a bit ineffective.
It was like seeing mice that weren’t afraid of cats, making one feel a little unaccustomed.
“Can we start fighting now?!”
Zoro also drew his sword, because these people looked at them as if they were prey.
Then he wanted to see who was the hunter and who was the prey.
“Pirates, mountain bandits, and gangsters with bounties, kill them at will!”
“Anyone who dares to make a move will be killed without mercy!”
“The dignity of the Goa Empire is inviolable!”
King Wang Shi spoke coldly, his tone extremely domineering and resolute.
“I like a King as domineering as this.”
Marquis Aramaki grinned, then he wouldn’t be polite.
“Let’s go, go ashore and find someone!”
King Wang Shi waved his cloak and led the way to the island.
“King Wang Shi, our ships…”
Tashigi pointed to the Imperial warship, snail warship, and Marine warship behind them, her tone filled with worry.
But the next moment, the three warships disappeared right before her eyes.
This left her a little dumbfounded.
“They’re gone. Don’t make a fuss.”
Nami chuckled at Tashigi and quickly caught up with King Wang Shi and the others.
“King Wang Shi’s Exile Power is so amazing.”
Tashigi quickly led her weak Marine soldiers to follow King Wang Shi and his group.
They were supposed to be Marine soldiers protecting King Wang Shi, but now the Clone Soldiers and strong individuals of the Goa Empire had to protect them.
“They disappeared! Oh my goodness!”
“Is this the power of the King of Exile?”
“What a waste! I wanted to steal something. Such a luxurious warship, it looks very rich!”
“Hmph, steal? I wanted to just snatch their ships!”
...
A fierce uproar erupted in the crowd at the port, with continuous rampant laughter.
Suddenly.
‘Pffft!’
The pirate who was just clamoring about wanting to snatch the ship was suddenly impaled from the back by a sharp tree root.
“Ugh~”
The pirate looked at the vine-like tree root piercing his chest, following it down to the ground.
Why did a tree root suddenly grow out of the ground?
“Help…”
The pirate’s face was filled with extreme fear, blood constantly overflowing from his mouth as he tried to call for help from his companions around him.
But the next second, in the terrified gazes of everyone, he rapidly shriveled into a wrinkled mummy.
“Ghosts! Run!”
The noisy crowd exploded, scattering in all directions.
However, vines grew out of the ground, as if guided, impaling all the pirates into the air, turning them into mummies.
“Comfortable. These scum who have no human rights should die!”
Marquis Aramaki showed a satisfied smile. Whether it was killing these pirate scum or devouring ‘nutrients’, it made him feel pleased.
Zoro, who was about to make a move, sheathed his sword and, seeing Aramaki’s expression, complained with a hint of disgust.
“Zoro, please call me Baron Aramaki.”
“And you all too, because there will be fewer chances to call me that.”
“Maybe in a few days, you’ll have to call me Marquis Aramaki!”
Marquis Aramaki spread his hands and smiled indifferently. Killing these inferior humans and ‘eating people’ indeed made him feel great.
Before, in order to get promoted, he had to worry about his image as an officer and suppress his ‘man-eating’ behavior.
But now, his path to promotion was incredibly clear.
Devouring these pirates could be considered making use of waste.
After all, if you can ‘eat’ it, don’t waste it.
This was also to clean up harmful waste for Mother Nature.
And it could also save King Wang Shi a portion of food.
His Majesty no longer had to worry about his food problem.
Marquis Aramaki’s move instantly scared away the entire crowd watching at the port.
Because these impaled mummies were truly terrifying and shocking!
Meanwhile, Issho, the bodyguard at the casino entrance, listened to the discussions around him.
The North Sea Overlord and the East Blue Overlord have arrived?
Suddenly, he sharply looked up, his ears slightly tilted outwards, and his blind white pupils vibrated continuously, ‘seeing’ powerful figures walking from a distance.
One or two of these figures made him feel a sense of threat.
