One day later.
On the main island of Four Leaf Kingdom.
At this time, the Royal City was filled with smoke and fire, the flag of Four Leaf Kingdom had been taken down, and the flag of Goa Kingdom was raised.
The Royal Guard, nobles, and officials of Goa Kingdom were spreading the news everywhere that Four Leaf Kingdom had merged into Goa Kingdom.
Almost all the royalty and nobility of the entire Four Leaf Kingdom were captured by Wang Shi.
King Slock of Four Leaf Kingdom was caught off guard by the sudden invasion.
When he discovered that the enemy invading their kingdom was actually the neighboring Goa Kingdom.
This result was unacceptable to him.
He had clearly sent gifts for Princess Sally and Wang Shi's wedding ceremony and Wang Shi's enthronement ceremony not long ago.
How dare Wang Shi, this new King, invade their Four Leaf Kingdom?
Even if their Four Leaf Kingdom was not one of the fifty nations attending the World Conference, it was still an Allied Nation.
"I give you two choices: one, peacefully merge into Goa Kingdom, and I can preserve a ducal title for you."
"Two, you all disappear."
Wang Shi sat on the throne of Four Leaf Kingdom, looking expressionlessly at these weakling royals.
"Impossible! I am the King of Four Leaf Kingdom!"
"I will report this to the World Government, I will report this to the Gorosei!!!"
King Slock shouted in fury, while the kneeling royals and nobles behind him were filled with grief and indignation.
"Then your choice is two. I will not kill you, I sentence you to exile!"
Wang Shi, in front of everyone, directly banished the entire Slock family into the void space.
As for the duration, who knows?
Perhaps after some time, Wang Shi will find an opportunity to kill them.
Perhaps decades later, they will be released only when no one recognizes them anymore.
Seeing more than a dozen royals suddenly disappear like that.
The nobles and officials of Four Leaf Kingdom were so frightened that they repeatedly begged for mercy and surrendered, shouting that they wanted to join Goa Kingdom, fearing being erased and disappearing.
Eric and Van Auger, these mercenaries, saw Wang Shi use his ability for the first time.
They were all so shocked that cold sweat broke out.
They had no idea what happened; these royals just disappeared before their eyes.
On the way.
They had inquired from the Royal Guard about Wang Shi's 'feat' of slaughtering five hundred Royal Guard alone.
Only now did Eric truly realize that this King was not so simple.
Just now, he had unleashed his power, using the Scythe-Scythe Fruit ability to slay many of Four Leaf Kingdom's Royal Guard, thinking he could intimidate this pretty-boy King.
He didn't expect that this King's strength seemed to be no weaker than his own.
Van Auger looked at Wang Shi, who possessed a strange ability, his eyes flickering, wondering what he was thinking.
Originally, he planned to leave East Blue and enter the Grand Line to become a Bounty Hunter or pirate.
But now, it seemed things were about to change a little.
He sensed the desire for control in Wang Shi's eyes.
He probably wouldn't be able to escape Wang Shi's grasp.
Wang Shi instructed the young nobles and officials of Goa Kingdom to take control of everything in Four Leaf Kingdom and to inform Goa Kingdom.
They were to immediately come and take over Four Leaf Kingdom and report it to the World Government.
Four Leaf Kingdom was to merge into Goa Kingdom, becoming the Four Leaf Archipelago under the flag of Goa Kingdom.
Princess Sally also didn't expect that Wang Shi would conquer the first kingdom in just two days.
This was too simple.
The entire Goa Kingdom began to move, all the nobles became active and enthusiastic, very eager to take over Four Leaf Kingdom.
The glory of the Empire! They also had a share!
Meanwhile, Wang Shi had already set his sights on Marine Branch 153 in Shells Town, within the Four Leaf Archipelago.
The three Goa Kingdom battleships set sail again.
Heading straight for the Navy Branch within Four Leaf Kingdom's territory.
"Your Majesty, do we really have to arrest Captain Mengka??"
"Even if we are an Allied Nation, we cannot attack the Marine!"
...
Following Wang Shi's command, not only were Eric and Van Auger shocked by Wang Shi's madness, daring to attack not only an Allied Nation but also a Navy Branch?
Even the subordinate nobles, officials, and Royal Guard felt like they were going crazy!
How dare this King do this?
He actually wanted to arrest the head of a Navy Branch, was he insane?!
"Captain Mengka of Marine Branch 153 conspired with pirates, used fake pirates to get promoted and rich, and oppressed civilians."
"Since Marineford cannot manage such matters, then I shall manage them."
"Moreover, Four Leaf Kingdom is already part of Goa Kingdom, so the matters of Branch 153 are the matters of this King!"
Wang Shi waved his hand, making a direct decision. He wanted to use the matter of Klock the pirate and Captain Mengka to cause some trouble with Marineford.
At least find a passable excuse for annexing Four Leaf Kingdom.
Although the World Government would not care about wars between Allied Nations, it was still necessary to find a small reason, not to cause trouble for no reason, and to give the World Government some face.
This Mengka and Klock were Wang Shi's 'enemies'!
"After taking down Mengka, immediately go to Syrup Village in the neighboring Moonlight Kingdom to capture Kuro of a Hundred Plans, who conspired with Mengka."
Wang Shi didn't care about the petty affairs between Mengka and Klock.
He just wanted to find an excuse to act against Four Leaf Kingdom and Mengka.
Then, involve Kuro of a Hundred Plans, who was hidden in Moonlight Kingdom, and ideally, drag Moonlight Kingdom into it as well.
These two small kingdoms, Wang Shi was determined to conquer.
Van Auger, Eric, and the nobles, officials, and Royal Guard of Goa Kingdom, seeing Wang Shi's decisive manner, were all too shocked to speak.
Was this mad King planning to conquer several nearby kingdoms within a few days?!
...
One or two hours later.
They arrived from the main island of Four Leaf Kingdom's Royal City at Shells Town, the small island where Marine Branch 153 was located.
The sudden arrival of this royal fleet almost led the Marines on the island to believe it was a pirate invasion.
Fortunately, the flag of Goa Kingdom was quite famous in East Blue.
The Marines on the island did not obstruct the three royal battleships from entering the port and landing.
Even Captain Mengka, whose personality had become sinister and brutal, had to appear, along with his subordinates Lieutenant Commander Ripper, Lieutenant Roronoa, and a host of Marine soldiers, to welcome this King of Goa.
However, what happened next seemed to be a bit unexpected.
"Mengka, you colluded with Kuro of a Hundred Plans, helped him fake his death to escape, and then used the fake Klock's corpse to get promoted!"
"You are also tyrannical and oppressive, bullying the residents of Shells Town. I arrest you in the name of the King of Goa Kingdom."
"By the way, Four Leaf Kingdom has now merged into Goa Kingdom, so Shells Town will also be my territory from now on."
"All other Marines, clear the way for me."
Wang Shi stood on the royal battleship and directly pronounced Captain Mengka's crimes in front of the Marines below.
"What, Kuro of a Hundred Plans faked his death to escape?"
Lieutenant Commander Ripper was shocked, looking at Captain Mengka in front of him with disbelief.
"Four Leaf Kingdom merged into Goa Kingdom? When did this happen?"
Lieutenant Roronoa and a large number of Marines started to clamor, wondering why they didn't know this news.
"Bastard! I am a Marine Captain, the officer in charge of Branch 153, what right do you have to judge me!"
Captain Mengka's face instantly turned ashen upon hearing Wang Shi's judgment. His memories became incredibly chaotic, recalling some things about Klock, and he immediately became extremely agitated.
The next moment, One Wind Blade went straight for Captain Mengka.
All the Marines of Marine Branch 153 didn't expect that the people of Goa Kingdom would actually dare to attack them.
"Dare to attack the Marine, you are all criminals! Open fire, annihilate them!"
Captain Mengka swung his axe and shouted orders, still trying to forcefully blast away the Wind Blade.
But with just one encounter, several bloody marks appeared on his body.
After Eric made his move, Van Auger immediately followed, firing three shots at Captain Mengka's legs and shoulder.
