Hearing that Bartholomew Kuma wanted a large amount of shape memory alloy, Basire frowned. Now that Wapol needs to eat and fuse with Enel to provide thunder and lightning for the Ark Maxim, the production of synthetic shape memory alloys has been reduced to some extent, and the construction of the Groseade also requires a lot of memory alloys, which have rarely been sold to the outside world recently.

Now a big order business has actually come in, which is unfortunate because Wapol is too busy currently.

"This matter may have to be postponed. My island ship is still under construction and there is not that much memory alloy to provide."

There was a hint of rejection in Basire's tone. He had no intention of revealing Bartholomew Kuma's secret of being a member of the revolutionary army yet, so there was nothing he wanted from him for the time being.

Moreover, Kuma's current identity is the Shichibukai who is the most 'loyal' to the World Government, and he will definitely not hand over some of the scientific research of Vegapunk.

If he takes into consideration the Paw fruit, he doesn't think he can defeat or even trap him for now, he must also take into consideration the entire revolutionary army behind Kuma and think about the pros and cons of taking action.

"This can be discussed."

When Kuma heard that Basire didn't mean to refuse completely, he continued, but he was a little surprised by the wealth of the Big Daddy Pirates.

Is this island ship so big that all the shape memory alloys on hand need to be used in it?

Afterwards, they negotiated at the port for more than an hour before Kuma disappeared from the port.

Basire looked at the anti-eavesdropping den den mushi and another exclusive den den mushi provided by Bartholomew Kuma in his hand. He snorted coldly and directly ordered the port to be demolished and rebuilt, and the abandoned port to be completely destroyed and thrown away.

Although others were confused about Basire's order, they did not dare to disobey it and immediately mobilized a large number of personnel. Even the officers and crew of the Big Daddy Pirates personally took action to destroy the port.

"He can mark a place so he can reach it at any time?"

After hearing Basire's explanation, Nico Robin, Lafitte, and Kuro realized the reason for the captain's gloomy expression.

It turns out that he was worried that their lair would always be under the eyes of others.

Following this incident, the construction speed of the Groseade became even faster, and Lily Carnation did not hesitate to consume energy and created tens of thousands of leaf people as workers to build the island ship at full speed.

After the upgrade is completed, they want to keep the island ship base in constant motion to prevent other forces from observing it.

···

The CP9 members who returned to Enies Lobby were immediately called by Chief Spandam who wanted to ask some questions.

Are the Pluton design drawings in the hands of the cyborg Franky? Are Blueno and Franky really dead?

The CP9 members, whose memories linger on the day the Big Daddy Pirates landed in the Capital of Water Seven, were uncertain about the life and death of Blueno and Franky.

But Rob Lucci and Kalifa are basically certain that there is a 70-80% chance of Pluton's design being in the hands of Franky. Spandam immediately wanted to order them to capture Iceburg and torture him to extract a confession.

If he was really sure about this, he would definitely apply to take action against Basire, even if he is a Shichibukai.

Coupled with the recent frenzied purchase of supplies by the Big Daddy Pirates to renovate the island ship, people in the World Government have to wonder whether Basire is building a Pluton battleship.

"Sir, Iceburg and some shipwrights have also been requisitioned by Basire for the construction of his island ship. So we may not be able to catch them for a while.

Moreover, Mayor Iceburg has a very good reputation. If we arrest him for no reason, we may be condemned by the public opinion."

A CP agent dissuaded Spandam from trying to capture Iceburg.

"I don't care! If you don't get the cyborg Franky or Pluton design back, I will send you to the Yonkōs as undercover agents!"

Spandam shouted angrily because he would never allow any meat that reached his mouth to be taken away.

Together with his father Spandine, he will request the World government to let him take action against the new Shichibukai.

These CP9 agents could only return to Water Seven and wait until Iceburg appears.

···

The next day, Ark Maxim.

Basire quickly set off and entered the front section of the Grand Line again to search for the Heart Pirates' Ship. This time, even the large diving ship Bliking was dispatched.

Because the pirate ship of Trafalgar Law is a polar submarine, it is very difficult to capture, and their traces are difficult to determine.

Apart from waiting for them to land on some island to replenish supplies, it is difficult to get information about them.

Even the intelligence organizations in the underworld cannot accurately know their information.

Now Basire and the others are just trying their luck by predicting where the Heart Pirates will land on the next island to replenish supplies.

"Captain, now the World government is becoming more and more dissatisfied with us and requires us to continue rounding up the remnants of the Golden Lion Fleet and hand over the bodies of Blueno and Franky."

Lafitte was also a little helpless. The phone calls from the World Government and Naval Headquarters have been frequent in the past two days, and they have been exerting a lot of pressure.

"Let them wait a moment and give them a big surprise afterwards."

Basire clenched his fist and had already made a decision. If he managed to capture Blackbeard, the Summit War might not be able to start normally.

Then he doesn't mind personally delivering Fire Fist Ace to the Marine, so that the attention of the World Government and Naval Headquarters can be focused on the son of the Pirate King.

This would let Basire have more development and planning time.

This will not only severely damage Naval Headquarters, but also allow Whitebeard to free up his position as Yonkō to make way for Basire.

If Basire doesn't want to take action himself, he can actively send the information about Blackbeard to Ace, guide them to fight, and then yoink them both!

Try the behind-the-scenes boss experience.

The feasibility of this plan is very high. All he needs to do is block Blackbeard on a certain island and then guide Ace, and everything will fall into place.

With Basire's current power, this plan really only requires a little effort to play with Fire Fist Ace, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates second division, and Blackbeard, the future Yonkō.

'At the expense of revenge on Doflamingo, I should be able to recruit Trafalgar Law. Even if I can't completely subdue him, I can still let him work under me!'

'And Golden Lion Shiki, it's time to find an opportunity to take action against him as well.'

Basire's eyes were full of ambition. If Blackbeard could cause a Summit War and lay the foundation to become a Yonkō. Basire who now has stronger capital than him can also cause the fall of a Yonkō in one go!

At that time, it will not matter that the World government suspects that Pluton's design is in his hands, because he will turn around and become Yonkō. While Impel Down, Marineford, and Enies Lobby will all be destroyed.

Grand Line, Fifth Route, Fishing Island.

At this time, in a bar on this island, a large number of pieces of flesh were strangely scattered on the walls and tables, but no blood was spilled, and various frightened sounds of begging for mercy could be heard.

"It's the Surgeon of Death! Trafalgar Law! The new devil from the most ferocious North Blue, with a bounty of 90 million beris!"

"This guy likes to dismember bodies and rip out people's hearts!"

"He's just like that Eustass Kid, both extremely cruel bastards!"

"Two more brutal newcomers who are as terrifying as Big Daddy Basire!"

"Captain Kid, who kills more indiscriminately than Big Daddy Basire, and even kills civilians, is a real bastard!"

"Kid's bounty has reached a hundred millions, catching up with Basire's bounty before he became Shichibukai. He has become another supernova candidate this year!"

"Why have there been so many terrifying newcomers in the past two years!"

Inside the bar and outside the street, there was a frantic discussion about this pirate group that had just landed.

Especially seeing those pirates with only half a head still shouting for mercy.

This scene looks even more terrifying.

They were all afraid of Trafalgar Law's weird Devil fruit power.

In front of the bar counter, a young man wearing a winter fur hat with leopard dots, his eyes had distinctive black eye bags, and an extra-long Sword stood beside him.

At this moment, he was drinking while looking at the information he had just received. There were even a few Log Poses and Eternal Poses on the counter.

"In the middle and front section of the Grand Line, there is only one Shichibukai that needs our attention, and that is the newcomer King Big Daddy Basire."

"Then there is Gekko Moria in the back section of Paradise. As for Hawkeye, the Pirate Empress, Tyrant Kuma, and Jinbe, I don't think we have to worry about them."

After reading the information, Law said casually, but in the end he looked at the last evil and arrogant guy with a gloomy face.

The blond man on this piece of information is his enemy, Donquixote Doflamingo, the only Shichibukai who has territory in the New World.

Just reading the surface information on Doflamingo made him deeply feel how weak he was now, not to mention that Doflamingo still had a lot of power secretly.

The current Trafalgar Law, in terms of strength and power, is completely inferior to Doflamingo.

"We must increase our strength as soon as possible, and it is best to recruit a few allies."

Law murmured with a cold face, then he looked at the information on the most famous rookie pirates on the Grand Line.

On a reward order, a guy with a red hedgehog head came into view. Eustass Kid looked particularly arrogant.

For some reason, Law felt unhappy when he saw what the bastard Kid looked like and wanted to give him the middle finger.

A real scum who doesn't even spare civilians!

When he saw the wanted poster for the Marine traitor X Drake, he suddenly fell into a flash of memories. He thought of Corazon who gave him the Op-Op Fruit.

"This guy might be able to become an ally."

He said calmly, but it doesn't seem like it would be enough to bring down the Donquixote Family with just one ally.

But at this time, he could only wait for the rise of other newcomers. Anyway, it is still early, and there should be many supernovas emerging in the future.

And he himself is still far away from reaching the Sabaody Archipelago, which is the final island of Paradise, the last island before entering the New World, and is also the island where all supernovas usually gather.

As for other old forces and veteran pirate groups, he has not considered it, because those old fritters dare not mess with Doflamingo, who has the position of Shichibukai and Underworld Emperor.

He could only 'fool' the young and energetic newcomers, and together they could take down Doflamingo.

"Captain, there aren't many people worth recruiting on this island!"

Penguin said with an unhappy look on his face. Now their Heart Pirates are also recruiting troops to expand their power and want to recruit some powerful crew members who share the same goals.

But here in the Grand Line, it seems that there are very few powerful pirates who work alone, and almost all have their own pirate groups.

"Captain, are you ready to leave? Let's go to the next island and look for recruits"

Another old crew member, Shachi, also said that if they couldn't recruit new people on this island, they could leave immediately after collecting information and buying supplies.

When he saw Bepo, who had been eating non-stop, he suddenly smiled evilly and picked up the white bear by its ears.

"What are you doing! Shachi, don't stop me from eating, Sorry!"

The polar bear mink Bepo slapped Shachi's hand away and continued to eat these fresh vegetables, fish and meat.

After so many days at the bottom of the sea, he wants to eat as much as he can now. Cherish every opportunity to eat. It is the instinct of every bear to store fat.

"It's a pity that we're not on the fourth route, otherwise I would like to go to Drum Island, a major medical country, to learn the advanced medical skills there."

Trafalgar Law said a little helplessly, because on the several islands they landed on before, they did not find the Eternal Pose to Drum Island.

"Don't worry, Captain, maybe we will find its Eternal Pose on the next island!"

Penguin and Shachi comforted him. They grew up together with Law and this stupid bear. It has been more than ten years now. The Heart Pirates have also been established for seven or eight years. The relationship between the four of them is very strong and deep.

"Then let's go!"

Law picked up his Sword, Kikoku, and brought the information reports with him.

"By the way, you can use these pirates in exchange for bounty money, and treat it as intelligence fees and meal money this time."

Law suddenly turned back to the stunned bartender, raised the corner of his mouth, and said coldly.

These pirate bounty criminals cut open by the Op-Op Fruit can still be exchanged for bounty money if their heads are smashed together.

Trafalgar Law slowly took his crew out of the bar.

They had entered the Grand Line for a week or two, and with the rapid sailing speed of their submarine, they had already landed on three or four islands.

As a result, he didn't meet any opponent worth fighting, and he couldn't recruit many subordinates.

However, his weird and cruel methods increased his bounty by a lot.

He led the crew to his submarine, but before he reached the secret landing point, a black shadow approached from the sky, and the entire crew of the Heart Pirates quickly raised their heads to look at the sky.

"Let's go quickly!"

Law's pupils shrank, and he immediately carried Kikoku and ran quickly along with his crew with a little anxiety in his eyes.

He didn't know whether the flying pirate ship was the Golden Lion Pirates' or the Big Daddy Pirates' golden ship.

But these two pirate groups are now extremely dangerous to the Heart Pirates.

Luckily, as long as they safely enter the polar submarine, they can easily avoid the pursuit of any pirate group, whether it is the legendary Golden Lion or the Shichibukai, it doesn't matter who comes.

The performance of this submarine is so superior.

And even if a crew member is injured, Trafalgar Law can easily heal anyone.

At this time, three gunshots were fired, and three huge bullet holes exploded on their path forward, scaring the crew of the Heart Pirates for a moment.

"Ignore it and keep running!"

'ROOM!'

Law shouted, raised his right hand, and a transparent domain space instantly opened up, wrapping himself and all his crew members.

He ordered the crew to keep running. Those sniper bullets could not hit them in this operating space.

"If you don't have Haki to defend yourself, don't get close to this guy's surgery space, otherwise you will be cut into several sections, and there is nothing I can do."

Basire smiled lightly and jumped down from the Ark Maxim, but this time he didn't hit the ground directly and roughly like what he did with Foxy before.

Instead, a pair of huge transparent barrier wings appeared on Basire's back, slowing down his descent.

Buzz~! ! !

A powerful Conqueror's Haki wave suddenly burst out from Basire's body in an instant. The powerful sense of oppression made all the crew members of the Heart Pirates, except for the four core members, have their eyes turn white and fall down!

"Conqueror's Haki! It's Big Daddy Basire!"

Law's eyes were full of solemnity, veins popped out in his arms, and he was working hard to resist Basire's Conqueror's Haki while continuing to expand his operating space several times.

'Shambles!'

Law immediately moved his fainted men to a distance. Even Shachi, Penguin, and Bepo, who were sweating profusely and resisting the Conqueror's Haki, were also sent to a distance, away from Basire's landing point.

Law wanted to buy some time for his crew to return to the submarine, and it would be more convenient for him to teleport and escape.

"Shachi, Penguin, Bepo, take them and go first!"

He gritted his teeth and shouted. During the three years he spent in the Donquixote Family as a child, he had personally seen Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki.

This kind of power made him feel quite powerless. He knew that if the cadres and crew were not strong enough, recruiting more subordinates would be useless. This made him more determined to only have elite crew members.

When the Donquixote Family was developing in the North Blue, Doflamingo had already caused several big North Blue gangsters to collapse in an instant with just his Conqueror's Haki, turning them into lambs to be slaughtered, with absolutely no power to resist.

This also made the Donquixote Family one of the top forces in the North Blue.

Then Law's expression became anxious again, and behind Big Daddy Basire, three more figures flew down and rushed towards Shachi, Penguin, and Bepo.

Three flying types of Zoan Devil fruit users?

This is such an exaggerated luxury lineup. Even the Donquixote Family doesn't have that many flying ability users.

~Boom~!

Basire suddenly landed in front of Law, causing cracks to appear on the ground and stirring up a large amount of dust.

"Trafalgar Law, I won't talk nonsense to you, I will help you deal with Doflamingo! You join my army!"

Basire grinned and his Conqueror's Haki rushed towards Law crazily, full of a sense of domineering intimidation.

At this moment, a huge pirate ship rushed out from under the sea, pushing the yellow submarine of the Heart Pirates out of the sea, and causing it to be washed to the coast with the waves.

At this moment, Trafalgar Law, Shachi, Penguin, and Bepo opened their eyes wide and felt a little desperate.

The escape tool they were most proud of had lost its life-saving function.

There is actually a diving pirate ship on the opposite side, and it's even a huge sailing ship. What the hell is going on?

This is completely unscientific!

As Basire showed his capabilities again and again, Conqueror's Haki, flying ability users, and diving pirate ship. It made Law feel a sense of powerlessness, like he was under the opponent's complete control.

But he won't surrender so easily.

Perhaps only by dealing with Big Daddy Basire would they have a chance to escape.

'Amputate!'

Law quickly pulled out his sword and slashed countless times in the air, but he found that Basire showed no sign of being cut at all.

Then Law disappeared directly and appeared next to Basire the next moment. This long sword with the ability of the Op-Op Fruit quickly struck Basire's neck.

Clang~!

A dark arm directly blocked Law's sword.

"Although my Armament Haki is not as strong as I would like, your Devil Fruit ability still can't cut it!"

Basire showed a satisfied smile. Even without his unbreakable Devil Fruit ability, the Law's absurd devil fruit ability can be blocked by using his Armament Haki.

Not to mention the powerful Yonkōs such as Charlotte Linlin and Kaido. Trafalgar Law's Op-Op Fruit ability can't even cut through Doflamingo's Haki, and he was easily chased away by him.

However, if the Op-Op Fruit awakens, it may be possible to break through the defense of the Yonkō-level Haki.

This is a question of qualitative change. Devil Fruit's ability and Haki will restrain each other. Whoever is stronger will restrain the other.

Although water defeats fire, even if you throw the entire planet's water into the sun, it won't be enough to make a fart.

When talking about toxicity you have to pay attention to the dose, and talking about attribute restraint you need to see the quantity and quality first.

And now, not only does Trafalgar Law not know Haki, but the development of his Op-Op Fruit has not reached such a high level.

To deal with a strong person with Armament Haki like Basire, he is still too weak to deal with it.

Basire glanced at Law with a smile, and suddenly kicked the Op-Op Fruit user. A sonic boom actually appeared on his feet. This scene was so frightening that Law disappeared in an instant and teleported into the distance.

Whoosh~!

A huge Rankyaku chop wave was released from Basire's foot, hitting the sky and sending out circles of air waves.

If Law's teleportation hadn't been fast enough, this kick would have probably cut him vertically in two.

"Then try again to see if my barrier can be cut!"

'Barrier Strike!'

Basire grinned, waved his right hand, and two transparent barriers appeared, quickly hitting Law from two directions, half a breath apart.

Barrier Fruit ability and Op-Op Fruit ability are both relatively unsolvable Devil Fruit abilities. Let's see which is stronger, the absolute defense or the power of space cutting.

Or maybe it depends on which user is stronger.

So, is it the powerful user that makes the Devil Fruit ability strong, or the unsolvable Devil Fruit ability that makes the user strong.

Seeing a barrier rushing towards him at a very fast speed, Law, who had just teleported, could only teleport away again. However, as soon as he appeared, his expression suddenly changed again, because another barrier suddenly came in front of him.

"Is this the advanced prediction from Observation Haki?"

Moreover, Law also saw Basire summoning barriers one after another, and he knew that he could not keep avoiding them forever.

At this moment, he could only fight. The sword in his hand, Kikoku, was covered with the cutting power of the Op-Op Fruit and he slashed hard. The sword and the barrier suddenly collided.

However, the cut-off that Law had imagined did not appear. Instead he was knocked back by the barrier and fell to the ground.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and teleported away again, away from the terrifying guy named Big Daddy Basire.

Why?

Why can't his cutting power cut through this transparent barrier that looks like glass?

"Are you confused about why your Op-Op Fruit can't cut my barrier?"

Basire, who seemed to notice Trafalgar Law's shock and wanted to recruit him, stopped attacking and said casually with a smile.

"Simple, because my development of the Barrier Fruit is deeper than your development of the Op-Op Fruit!"

Basire continued, the strength of spears and shields ultimately depends on whose quality is better.

Water jets can cut steel, charcoal can be turned into diamonds, and even fragile glass can be turned into tempered glass and the extremely hard Rupert Drops.

The degree of development of the Devil Fruit is a sign of the power of a person with abilities.

A powerful user can directly break through Haki's defense with his abilities.

Like when Law used the Op-Op Fruit ability to split open the armored defense of Vergo, and Kizaru who can shoot the former Admiral Zephyr, an Armament Haki master, into a sieve.

Of course, the powerful Haki can also directly break a Devil Fruit ability. For example, Law in the future could directly use Haki to expel the disease fruit ability of Doc Q. However, strong Haki such as Kaido and Big Mom can ignore Law's space transfer ability.

···

"Master Basire, how do you know that my ability is the Op-Op Fruit? Is it because of it that you came after me?"

Trafalgar Law was a little shocked to hear that Basire recognized his Devil Fruit ability at a glance, and at the same time looked at this Shichibukai more warily.

Now even the newspapers and wanted posters don't indicate his abilities. So how could Basire know about it?

At first glance, he thought that Basire was a guy with evil intentions.

In fact, Law didn't know whether the World Government discovered his ability or whether it deliberately did not expose his ability.

He had heard Corazon say that the Marine behind him was the current Fleet Admiral, Sengoku the Buddha.

He had also thought about whether Sengoku knew about him. Could this Marine Fleet Admiral be hiding his information?

Or maybe it is that the World Government simply doesn't want the world to know that the Op-Op Fruit ability lies within him.

Maybe they are just waiting until Law has grown up, and then they will personally capture him and force him perform the ageless surgery for the world government dignitaries.

"Of course I know the Op-Op Fruit that has a price of 5 billion beris."

"But don't worry, I don't care about your immortality surgery, because I have other ways to live longer."

"How about it? You join me and I can help you get revenge and take down Doflamingo!"

"Otherwise, your Heart Pirates will be destroyed today, your companions will die, and you will not be able to take revenge."

"And Doflamingo will still live freely in Dressrosa, doing whatever he wants."

Basire said calmly, as if he didn't care about Law's immortality surgery at all. Now that Law hasn't developed the Op-Op Fruit much, he still can't do the immortality surgery.

"How do you know about my hatred with Doflamingo?"

Law was still full of vigilance. During the Op-Op Fruit battle on Minion Island, not many people knew about it.

"Does it matter? I need your allegiance, and you need my strength!"

"I can also promise you that Doflamingo will be solved within three years. After that, you can form a separate team, become a division captain, and do whatever you want to do."

Basire smiled and said, now that the Heart Pirates have been controlled by him and given such generous conditions, if Trafalgar Law still doesn't know how to advance and retreat, then it would be a bit ignorant.

"Three years?"

There was a slight movement on Law's face, as this amount of time was acceptable. His initial plan was to increase his strength and power for two or three years, and to recruit some allies.

Seeing Basire who has Conqueror's Haki said that it would take three years to solve Doflamingo. He really wanted to accept it.

"What do you want from me? Apart from the immortality surgery, I don't have that much value for you to deal with a powerful Shichibukai just to recruit me."

Law was still a little unclear. Now he is completely at a disadvantage and has lost the price for negotiation. So he feels it is not worth Basire's efforts at all.

"You may have underestimated the Op-Op Fruit's other abilities!"

"After joining us, I will help you develop your abilities as long as you work for me!"

Basire smiled softly, this Law really knew the current affairs, he would not be like Eustass Kid who would fight to the death and refuse to surrender.

However, this may also be an important reason why Kid was able to awaken Conqueror's Haki.

"I want to keep the Heart Pirates, can I join you as an affiliated pirate group?"

Law finally expressed this idea. He was a little unwilling to disband the pirate group they established together.

"In the next two years, outside you can be the Heart Pirates, and inside you can be one of the ship's doctors of the Big Daddy Pirates."

"After killing Doflamingo, you will become the heart of the Big Daddy Pirates, but I allow you to keep the pirate flag."

After Basire thought for a moment, he said that because as long as he controls Blackbeard, all the initiative will return to his hands.

Even if it is an Op-Op Fruit user, he can change its owner at any time.

What's more, Law is just one of his backup plans.

However, the potential of Law, a member of the D family, is still very strong. And he is very suitable for the Op-Op Fruit and can even develop it until the point of awakening.

"Then I promise you, I hope you won't break your promise and deal with Doflamingo within three years!"

Law gritted his teeth and could only agree, because he saw that all his crew members had already been captured, and he himself could not defeat Basire, the Shichibukai.

"Hey, if you work hard, you can probably get rid of him in a year or two. Believe me, and believe in yourself too."

"Well, welcome to the Big Daddy Pirates, Surgeon of Death, Trafalgar Law!"

Basire laughed and said, slowly walking towards this new crew member who was full of cooperation and interests.

As for feelings and loyalty, they can be nurtured slowly, or they can just continue to deepen the entanglement of interests and become an inseparable part.

Sea Circle Calendar May 5, 1522.

East Blue, Dawn Island, Windmill Village.

A young man wearing a straw hat hurriedly celebrated his 17th birthday in the morning and could not wait to get on the boat that had been prepared. Under the instructions of the villagers, he went out to sea alone without hesitation.

Not long after he went out to sea, Luffy met the lord of the coast who bit off the arm of red-haired Shanks. This rubber kid killed the sea beast with one punch, taking revenge for the person he admired the most.

Grand Line, Fish-Man island.

A fat man wearing a white shirt and a bandana was carefully rubbing a Poneglyph in the forest of the sea.

"Why is there only one piece? I remember when pops was guarding this island, there was clearly another piece of historical text!"

Blackbeard said doubtfully because he remembered that back then, Whitebeard accepted the request of King Neptune and included Fish-Man Island under the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates.

King Neptune once brought Whitebeard and many crew members to see two historical texts that even Roger, the pirate king, valued very much. He also asked Whitebeard if he wanted these stones, but Whitebeard was not interested in these things at all.

However, at that time, Blackbeard had another thought in mind.

He was still very weak at that time, and he did not show much enthusiasm for these historical texts to avoid the crew discovering his ambitions.

His idea at the time was that if he successfully obtained the Dark Fruit, he would join the competition for the position of Pirate King. But if he did not obtain the Dark Fruit, he would stay on the Whitebeard Pirates for the rest of his life.

Although Marshall D Teach doesn't look like it, he likes to study history very much and he has learned many secrets of this world.

However, he has not studied ancient writing, so he cannot understand the characters of these historical texts.

But it does not prevent him from collecting these historical texts and intends to find other talents to read these ancient information for him in the future.

And he already knows that the location leading to the final island of Laugh Tale is related to these historical texts.

Because of the big event when the Roger Pirates broke into Totto Land and forcibly snatched the Road Poneglyph from Charlotte Linlin's hand, Whitebeard also told his sons the reason.

This made Teach start paying more attention to these historical texts.

Back when the Rocks Pirates disbanded in the Valley of the Gods, only two people, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, got the most 'legacy', one Road Poneglyph each.

Roger became the Pirate King, and when he was executed, he ushered in the Great Age of Pirates, which led to a sharp increase in pirates in the world and escalating unrest in various places.

This also caused Fish-Man Island to bear a huge impact. Countless fishmen and mermaids were persecuted. Neptune, the king of Ryugu Kingdom, actually sought asylum from Whitebeard.

"Pops, why didn't you take away these two historical texts back then!"

After Blackbeard finished rubbing the unknown historical text, he angrily said because the most critical red historical text has not been found.

He still doesn't know where the Road Poneglyph of Fish-Man Island has gone.

Somewhere in the New World, a huge red stone was placed on a large black ship.

There was a mysterious powerful man on the ship, who seemed to be a Devil fruit user. He waved at the sea, and a huge whirlpool appeared, sinking the pirate ship blocking the way into the sea in an instant, showing no mercy.

The man who possesses this kind of power to create a giant whirlpool under the sea at will, is not afraid of being intercepted and pursued by any pirate ship or warship, because he can destroy these ships at will.

Blackbeard left Fish-Man Island cursing because he knew that Fire Fist Ace was chasing him.

He doesn't want to get involved with Ace. He won't stay in the New World and be hunted by the Whitebeard Pirates. He wants to return to Paradise to recruit people and form his own pirate group.

One day, he will definitely return to the New World and become the new emperor of the sea!

An island in the New World.

Fire Fist Ace, the leader of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division, also found out some news about Teach.

Then, a message came, causing Ace to curse. He didn't expect Teach to run so fast. The bastard had landed on Fish-Man Island not long ago, and had already left the Island to enter Paradise.

This caused him to rush to Fish-Man Island immediately. He also wanted to return to Paradise because he must personally capture the traitorous Teach in order to avenge Thatch.

And this day is also the beginning of a sudden change in the world.

···

Grand Line, Mecha Island.

The huge island ship was still being renovated and the workers were very busy. The entire island ship had begun to develop in the direction of mechanization, and it was becoming a moving war fortress.

After the Heart Pirates joined the Big Daddy Pirates, Basire began to conduct special training for Trafalgar Law and asked Law to develop the "Personality Transplant Surgery".

Under Basire's preparation, Munch-Munch Fruit Wapol, Op-Op Fruit Trafalgar Law, and Lily Carnation, the flower of life and death, these three have been prepared to deal with Blackbeard.

After the World Government rescued the CP9 agents, because the Mayor of Water Seven, Iceburg, and Franky, who were related to Pluton's design, were both in Basire's hands, they now increasingly believe that Basire may have gained something from them.

Even if it is just suspicion, the World Government has begun to put pressure on the Big Daddy Pirates, and even sent many spies to sneak into the Groseade.

Faced with the pressure from the World Government, Basire has been resorting to wrangling and pretending to be confused. The Big Daddy Pirates have also used this reason to block the World Government's mouth and delay time by constantly hunting the remnants of the Golden Lion Fleet.

The Big Daddy Pirates continue to hunt the remnants of the Golden Lion Fleet and the Rookie Pirates. Although they have blocked some pressure from the World Government, they once again provoked Shiki.

Now the old lion's head injury has recovered a lot, but the symptoms of intermittent amnesia are getting more and more serious.

He may no longer be able to use Conqueror's Haki, and his power has seriously declined again.

His temper is getting more and more irritable, as if he can't accept the degrading effects of aging.

Inside a luxurious palace among the floating Sky Islands.

"Have you found the location of the brat Basire?! I'm going to smash his stupid ship!"

Golden Lion Shiki shouted, now that his two famous swords had been reattached to his legs, sparks kept flying from the ground as he walked.

He had indeed shown some admiration for Basire for a while before and wanted to see what kind of trouble he could make in the world.

But now, due to his decline in strength, the blurring of his memory, and the Big Daddy Pirates continuous annihilation of his fleet, his temperament has changed drastically, and he became extremely irritable, making him want to kill Basire right away.

Aboard the Groseade.

Basire attaches great importance to Trafalgar Law's Op-Op Fruit ability, so he has been personally helping him to practice moves and developing his Devil Fruit ability.

Now Law can already transplant limbs for others.

For this reason, the Memory Seahorse, Noko, who longed to fly, underwent Law's surgical transformation and gained a pair of eagle wings, realizing his dream of flying.

Even the snow woman Monet wanted to transplant a pair of wings for herself to gain the ability to fly freely.

However, the transplanted wings cannot be retracted anytime and anywhere like the Zoan Devil Fruit ability. It will always follow you and affect everything you do.

If you have an extra pair of wings, your living habits will change in the future, and you may have to sleep standing up.

Moreover, if the transplanted limbs of animals are too ordinary, the effect will not be as powerful as imagined, and they will be easily injured.

The most important thing is that once transplanted, if you face Trafalgar Law, it will be easy to be restrained by his Op-Op Fruit ability in his Room space.

These shortcomings made several reluctant crew members temporarily give up the idea. They did not want to have a fatal flaw against Trafalgar Law, a newcomer who had just boarded the ship.

Basire also wants to take action against the next supernova. Except for X Drake and Jewelry Bonney, who are covered by people and cannot be targeted for the time being, the other supernovas can be captured.

After all, behind Drake are Sengoku and Tsuru, and behind Bonney is Bartholomew Kuma, who has not completely lost his memory.

Of course, there's also Straw Hat Luffy who has an even stronger background, and Basire is too lazy to pick on him for the time being.

However, without talents like Nami and Zoro, this guy will most likely be the last supernova to enter the Grand Line.

Just when Basire was about to set off to find Kid or Hawkins, a message came from Drum Island, causing him to immediately change his mind and prepare to go to this big medical country to capture some people first.

Because the witch Dr Kureha actually brought Chopper to live in the Drum Castle of Wapol openly, and occupied the center of the kingdom.

Even Dalton, who has the power of a Zoan Devil Fruit, is no match for this old woman who is over a hundred years old.

Of course, this may also be because Dalton is a simple and honest man and does not want to take action against these two good people, Dr. Kureha and the reindeer Chopper.

This news came from two officials, the treacherous affairs officer Kuromarimo and the brutal staff member Chess, who tipped off the Big Daddy Pirates, and it was only then that Basire learned of the information.

Dalton actually dared to not report it. It seems that the deterrent effect given to him by the Big Daddy Pirates was not enough.

Basire is determined to win the method to make the Rumble balls!

This secret medicine not only allows Chopper, a Zoan fruit user, to have seven stages of transformation, and if he continues to improve it, it can even allow the minks to directly enter the powerful Sulong transformation anytime and anywhere without the need of the full moon, greatly increasing their combat effectiveness.

Now under the command of the Big Daddy Pirates, there is a cheetah mink, Chiqicheetah, and under Law, there is a polar bear mink, Bepo.

After entering the Sulong state, the strength of the minks can skyrocket. Each of them has the strength of a pirate with a bounty of no less than a hundred million beris. The strongest minks can even fight against a Yonkō cadre level pirate.

In the original work, Bepo, who entered the Sulong form, could even slap away Burgess and Van Augur, rescued Trafalgar Law, who had a bounty of 3 billion, and successfully escaped by diving into the sea.

"Let's go. Wapol, let's go back to your lair and take a look."

Basire immediately took Wapol, who was fused with Enel, and boarded the Ark Maxim. They were going to Drum Island to take down the witch Dr Kureha and the reindeer Chopper.

However, just when the golden ship was ready to set off, things changed again.

Three small islands and a dozen pirate ships flew in the air, and even Basire's expression became extremely solemn.

A sharp siren sounded immediately on the Groseade, and all the construction teams stopped instantly.

Every officer and crew member of the Big Daddy Pirates ran out and looked at the enemies in the sky.

"Let the Groseade move and retreat immediately, and prepare the cannon!"

"All cadres, board the Ark Maxim, we will deal with them in the air!"

Basire shouted, they must shoot down all of Golden Lion Shiki's flying islands and ships before they arrive!

He didn't want the Groseade, which he spent so much money to renovate, to be destroyed by them.

"Yes Captain!"

Many crew members shouted crazily. Now that Golden Lion Shiki has come to them, they must fight to protect the base camp.

Among them, Zoro and Burgess were full of excitement to finally have a real battle.

It's no longer the previous type of battle where Captain Basire alone would solve all problems.

This time, they have to use their entire team to resist the Golden Lion Pirates.

All the cadres and crew members with combat effectiveness gathered in the Ark Maxim and rushed towards the air fleet together.

The Cube Fruit user Gairam, in order to protect the Groseade from harm, immediately activated the maximum power, turned to the Sky Pirates, loaded the cannon with ammunition, and fired a few shots before the Ark Maxim reached the Sky Fleet.

Huge cannonballs were shot one after another, rushing at the flying islands and pirate ships in the distance.

Boom~! !

Without the hundred-fold increase of the More-More fruit, the Groseade's cannon was not powerful enough to destroy an island in one blow, but it successfully destroyed several pirate ships and blew them into pieces all over the sky.

A lot of soil was also blown off the small islands, which fell to the sea and caused huge waves.

The Big Daddy Pirates' counterattack made Golden Lion Shiki even more angry. Under his control, the flying island and the pirate ships accelerated towards the Groseade.

Gairam also turned on the island ship at full power and accelerated frantically, not giving these flying enemies a chance to get close.

"Golden Lion Shiki! Today is the day you fall!"

Basire yelled angrily. He didn't expect that before he even went to trouble Shiki, this old guy wanted to destroy his base camp.

Then he must not let him go this time!

"Kid, I'm going to destroy all your territory!"

Shiki flew in the air and shouted angrily at Basire. His return plan of more than 20 years was ruined by this brat.

The fleet under his command was crippled, and his reputation became a stepping stone for Basire, which made him very unhappy.

His monster plan seemed to have failed. Those monsters that evolved for the third time were not as strong as expected. A large number of them fainted during the collision between the two Conquerors.

This wasn't what he expected at all, which made him a little devastated.

He became even more angry when he thought that he had done nothing for more than twenty years.

"Then let's see if you can destroy my island ship or I sink your islands first!"

'Barrier Susanoo: Full form!'

Amidst Basire's roar, he jumped directly off the Ark Maxim and entered the huge barrier Susanoo form in the air, with a pair of huge wings appearing on his back.

'Elbaf Combat Technique: Hakoku!'

Basire held up a sword that was tens of meters long and glided directly towards a small flying island. A huge spiral sword energy was swung out and suddenly penetrated the island.

The huge explosion caused the small island to explode into countless pieces, which then fell directly into the sea along with the huge sword energy attack.

Not only the new members like Trafalgar Law and the Heart Pirates were a little stunned, but even the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates were taken aback.

Their Captain Basire seems to have become even more powerful.

"You can even use the giant's technique?!"

The cigar in Golden Lion Shiki's mouth was bitten off. He stared at the bastard Basire and he was indeed quite frightened just now.

He also saw powerful pirates jumping out of the golden airship one after another, rushing into his air fleet, and starting a crazy fight.

He had to react fast and control the other two small islands without giving Basire a chance to shoot them down.

"Leaving your base camp and taking the initiative to attack me is the biggest mistake of your life!"

The barrier giant suddenly rushed towards the old Shiki. As long as he was dealt with, these flying battleships and flying islands would fall and become ruins.

Most of the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates are equipped with life-saving wind-blasting shoes, which can save their lives when they fall into the sea.

"Kid, the giant you made this time is actually bigger than last time, but maintaining such a big form and flying should require a lot of energy. But I don't require that much energy to use my fruit ability!"

Shiki suddenly opened his fingers, and two small flying islands began to transform. There was even a lake filled with sea water, and even the sea water was controlled by him.

"Before on Lion Peak Island, the soil was something I had temporary control over, which wasted a lot of my energy."

"But now everything on these two islands is material that I have controlled for many years, so I can control them with the least effort."

He suddenly waved his hand, and eight huge earth lion heads and one made of water quickly took shape and rushed madly towards Basire.

One after another, the earth lions were attacking Basire, and the seawater lion was watching from behind. It will give Basire a killing blow at the critical moment and directly take him down, taking advantage of the water weakness of devil fruit users.

"Just enough to defeat you!"

Basire snorted coldly, and the barrier giant he transformed into suddenly slashed through with his sword. The speed caused the barrier sword to turn red from friction.

Just like cutting butter with a hot knife, the eight huge earth lion heads were split into two halves, scattering into the sky.

Basire also slashed down suddenly, driving a large amount of dirt floating in the air into the sea.

'This kid's strength has actually become so much stronger!'

Shiki frowned slightly, and with a quick wave of his palm, these broken lion heads recovered again and were prevented from falling into the sea. At the same time, two huge lion heads flew directly towards the Big Daddy Pirates' Island Ship.

His goal this time was to sink the territory that Basire had spent huge sums of money to build, and to make him feel distressed. Because he is not sure that he can defeat Basire, this hard turtle.

As a result, at the next moment, huge cannons were fired one after another, scattering the giant earth lion heads and exploding them. Because the distance was a bit far, the earth that formed the lion heads fell into the sea one after another.

Shiki waved his hand quickly and wanted to control and recover the falling earth, but Basire immediately rushed towards him and slashed at him with his sword, interrupting him.

Basire already knows that once the substance controlled by the Float Fruit comes into contact with normal sea water, the fruit ability will be removed and will no longer be controlled by Golden Lion.

This is also the reason why Basire dived through an island just now, and through the Hakoku spiral sword energy, a large amount of mud and rocks fell into the sea, so Golden Lion Shiki could no longer control it.

As for the seawater controlled by Shiki, Basire didn't know how long it took Shiki to successfully take control over it. But he believes that this was certainly not an easy task.

Otherwise, Shiki would have been on the sea, directly controlling a large amount of sea water for naval battles.

In this case, which devil fruit user would dare to fight him?

"Why?! Why are your pirate ships so strong? Why are your men so strong too?! While my men are all useless weaklings!"

Seeing that the pirate ship on the opposite side was able to blast away his earth lion with one shot, Shiki instantly shouted angrily. He also saw that the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates actually caused trouble in his air fleet and were committing a massacre.

Especially a green marimo head swordsman who actually killed so many monsters and even took down his second in command, Dr. Indigo.

His commanders were unable to defeat Basire's officers and crew, and they were all clamoring to surrender.

If it weren't for the fact that they had no way to escape in the air, they would have escaped long ago.

This scene reminded him of the Roger Pirates. The officers on that pirate ship were all extremely fierce pirates. Most of them could beat up the pirates under his command.

Back then, he also gathered all the affiliated pirate groups to form a flying fleet before going to surround the Roger Pirate Group.

Otherwise, the officers of his crew alone would not be able to defeat the Roger Pirates.

"What are you shouting about? Is your brain getting more and more abnormal? Isn't this the path you chose? When you choose the path of creating monsters, the world has already abandoned you!"

Basire mocked, this old guy took the initiative to attack the Big Daddy Pirates, but he didn't expect that he would collapse first.

Now it could be seen that Shiki was starting to doubt his life, and his strength seems to have dropped to a very low level.

Basire couldn't help but smile. He must take down this old timer today!

If only Golden Lion Shiki had not retired to engage in monster raising, but continued to develop in the New World.

Then even if he couldn't become one of the Four Emperors, he could have still made a more powerful pirate group than the Donquixote Family, because his air fleet has a very big advantage!

"Kid, I haven't lost yet!"

After Dr Indigo and the Gorilla Scarlet fell, the thoughts of Shiki became muddled, but he soon regained consciousness, and his Haki aura reappeared.

The huge seawater lion head, under the cover of six giant earth lion heads, suddenly rushed towards Basire's barrier giant.

Today is a big failure again.

However, the reputation of the legendary pirate cannot be underestimated by these new-age pirates.

In the air fleet.

Dr Indigo, the ship's doctor and scientist of the Golden Lion Pirates, had his eyes become white and fell to the ground, with a huge sword cut on his chest.

Zoro continued to hunt the captains of the fleet, and also killed these elite monsters that have entered their third evolution.

The strength of these monsters is very good, and they can fight Zoro for more than ten moves.

The gorilla Scarlet, who controlled the evolved monsters, was killed by Burgess and Eldoraggo. These guys didn't have Zoro's one-on-one spirit.

As long as they can kill their opponents, they don't care about joining forces to kill them.

After all, even decent people often join forces to fight, so what's the problem if these brutal pirates join forces to kill another group of pirates?

Pirates are not heroes, pirates use whatever means necessary to achieve final victory!

"Haha! Today our Big Daddy Pirates will defeat the Golden Lion Pirates!"

'Swinging elbow strike!'

Burgess shouted excitedly, bending his right arm, his thick arm shaking violently, and a huge shock wave directly exploded a flying pirate ship!

"The Golden Lion Pirates are nothing more than that! Wahaha!"

'Sonic laser cannon!'

Eldoraggo sprayed out a blue sound wave with a diameter of nearly one meter from his mouth, piercing the two pirate ships in front of him, turning them into debris. Pirate minions continued to fall into the sea with desperate shouts.

"Hoho~, what a joyful hunt!"

Lafitte had a brutal smile on his face at this moment, waving his blood-stained white wings, he caught a pirate captain in the air and cut him to pieces, with pieces of blood and flesh splattering all over the sky.

"The 27th!"

Van Augur rode his flying mount in the distant air. After firing three shots again, he said with an expressionless face.

Captain Basire's order was to kill everyone before the air fleet approached the Groseade.

So this time, all members of the Big Daddy Pirates exploded into action, and there was no need to hold anything back!

'Room: Slaughterhouse!'

A flying pirate ship, including the ship and the pirates, were all cut into pieces by Trafalgar Law and scattered in the sky.

He looked at the terrifying strength of the Big Daddy Pirates with burning eyes. There were so many powerful officers and crew members. It seemed that these people alone could start a war with the Donquixote Family and this gave him great hope!

As Basire said, if you work harder, you can defeat Doflamingo and the Donquixote Family in just one or two years, no need to wait for three years!

Thinking of this, Law felt even more motivated, and the sword in his hand swung faster.

"Mantis: Shakushi!"

There was a buzzing sound of an insect's flapping wings, and a cold voice came. Kuro had turned into a huge dark green mantis.

At this moment, he turned into an afterimage. In an instant, he cut a flying pirate group into pieces, leaving behind a gruesome sight.

After getting the Zoan Mantis Fruit and Marine's Rokushiki, he quickly found the most suitable fighting mode with his mind.

His indiscriminate killing techniques have also been successfully improved, and he has also developed his own silent Soru and adapted Rankyaku to use it with his mantis scythes.

The most surprising thing is that his Observation Haki was actually stronger than Zoro and Lafitte's, and his Armament Haki had also begun to awaken.

The mantis fruit greatly improved his physical fitness and vision.

After Eric learned Rankyaku, the size and power of his sickle wind blades were enhanced by at least three times, and he no longer activated the wind blades purely through his Devil Fruit ability.

His powerful physical skills have made his Devil Fruit ability more powerful. Now he is also a good hand in destroying pirate ships!

Huge wind blades flew over and cut a flying sailboat into several large pieces.

Seeing the officers and crew members destroying these flying pirate ships one by one, it is as if they are not qualified to enter the first and second echelons of the Big Daddy Pirates if they don't personally chop up one of them.

The newly added Dice-Dice Fruit user, Daz Bones, also quickly chopped down a flying pirate ship to prove his strength.

There are not many flying pirate ships left!

After all, among the Big Daddy Pirates, Daz Bones' bounty is second only to Basire and Trafalgar Law.

Although his status in the crew is low, the bounties offered for Zoro and Doc Q are really not as good as his.

There was no other way. Captain Basire had become a Shichibukai too quickly, causing the bounties of other crew members to stop growing.

Because of this bounty issue, Zoro often came to Daz Bones to "spar" and vent his frustration.

Monet, Foxy, Bear King, Gin... These people all wanted to smash a flying pirate ship to show their presence.

More than a dozen flying ships of the Golden Lion Pirates were destroyed one by one by the Big Daddy Pirates, and turned into pieces floating in the sky.

Because of Float Fruit's ability, most of the pirate ship fragments still kept floating even if they were broken, and did not fall into the sea.

Only pirate ships damaged by energy-type attacks will lose their floating power, fall into the sea, or be completely destroyed.

However, it is precisely because these fragments can still levitate that some of the pirates in the Golden Lion Fleet can live for a longer period of time, and the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates can also use them as a standing point to continue fighting.

But soon, Eldoraggo had begun to use his sonic power cannon to clear away the floating fragments of the pirate ships.

Part of the Big Daddy Pirates crew returned to the Ark Maxim, firing cannons to continue killing pirates and destroying debris.

Many enemy pirates were shouting, wanting to surrender, and some could not hold on and fell directly into the sea at an altitude of hundreds or thousands of meters.

Whether they survive or not depends entirely on God's will.

Whether they die upon hitting the sea, or get eaten by sea beasts, it is up to fate.

The battle here has also attracted many spies lurking on the close by island. Whether it is the World Government, Naval Headquarters, or underworld forces, they have all received information about the sudden war between the Big Daddy Pirates and the Golden Lion Pirates.

These forces all want to watch the fun, so the best thing is to let Big Daddy Basire and Golden Lion Shiki fight to the death, causing Basire to suffer heavy losses.

But why did the following information become more and more exaggerated? Are the Golden Lion Pirates really about to be destroyed by the Big Daddy Pirates?

What the hell is going on!

Is this old guy Shiki out of his mind?

Wouldn't it be enough to just drop a few islands directly from the sky?

What the hell are you doing now?!

The Big Daddy Pirates successfully stopped Golden Lion Shiki's air fleet with a golden flying ship?

Is this because Basire is growing up too fast, or is this old lion aging too fast?

On the other side, the battle between Basire and Shiki also intensified.

At this time, Basire unleashed his Conqueror's Haki wantonly, constantly stimulating this half-disabled old lion!

"Shiki! Leave the Conqueror's infusion to me! I will take your dream to dominate the world!"

Basire was inside the barrier giant with a crazy smile on his face as he shouted at the crazy Golden Lion Shiki.

The Barrier Susanoo created by Basire kept using the huge barrier blade to split these earth lions time and time again. Even the sea lions didn't make him afraid and he used the giant barrier shield to knock them apart again and again!

"Why! Why is it an East Blue bastard again?! Roger!"

Shiki had already torn the swords off his legs again. Holding both blades in his hands, he continued to send out huge half-moon shaped golden sword energy as he flew towards Basire.

But the old lion's golden sword energy was completely unable to leave a scratch on the barrier giant.

After the two officers and many monsters and affiliated pirate groups were killed one after another, Shiki became more and more irritable. Blood began to appear at the connection between the rudder and his head, and his memory began to become a little disordered.

"Shiki! Roger left red-haired Shanks as his heir and he became one of the Yonkōs! Don't you want to leave behind your own will?!"

"Or do you want to completely disappear from this world today, leaving no waves behind?!"

Basire chopped up the giant earth lions time and time again, approaching Shiki, and violently collided with this legendary pirate!

"Jihahaha! Little brat Basire, your move to provoke me is very low-level, do you want to win me over?!"

"However, I have to say that I am very tempted! Then let's see how much you can learn!"

"I want you to kill red-haired Shanks, become the Pirate King, and dominate the world!"

When Golden Lion Shiki heard Roger's name, he went crazy for a moment, but then he also regained his clarity. He was actually stimulated by Basire's words.

Amidst the painful shouts, the blood from Golden Lion Shiki's head had already flowed down and stained his face, which looked extremely ferocious and tragic.

A powerful Conqueror's Haki burst out from Shiki again.

At this moment, his eyes were completely bloodshot and veins were protruding on his head, as if he was suffering from great pain.

"Kid, Conqueror's infusion is not so easy to learn. Your Conqueror's Haki can affect and shatter matter!"

Blood-red lightning kept coming out of Golden Lion Shiki's body, and some pirate ship fragments floating in the air were crushed to pieces by the earthquake produced from his use of haki.

The terrifying Conqueror's Haki made the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates feel a strong sense of dizziness. Some crew members even fainted and fell into the sea, such as low-level crew members like the Nyaban Brothers, Pearl and Jango.

"Quickly retreat!"

Kuro and Lafitte quickly shouted, thinking that they must stay away from the duel between their Captain and Golden Lion Shiki.

'Room!'

Trafalgar Law immediately teleported several crew members who fainted and fell into the sea back to the Ark Maxim. The flying members Lafitte, Kuro and Van Augur also rescued several crew members.

The crew members of the pirate groups affiliated with the Golden Lion Fleet originally had a slight chance of survival, but now that they fainted or were frightened one by one, and fell directly into the sea, their deaths are almost confirmed.

Basire also dispersed the giant Susanoo, with a pair of barrier wings behind him, and wind-blasting shoes under his feet to assist with stability and acceleration.

"Come on, Shiki, let's see how far apart you are from Kaido of the Beasts in teaching ability!"

Blood-red Conqueror's lightning kept coming out of Basire's body, and he entered a state of concentration.

When he saw some black lightning appearing on the swords in Shiki's hands, he knew the highlight was coming.

"Back then, my Conqueror's infusion couldn't break through this stupid barrier! I was really pissed off!"

"Kid, watch out, Conqueror's infusion is much harder than Armament Haki emission!"

At this moment, Shiki's face was a little pale, as if he had entered some kind of ultimate sublimation stage. Even Basire was feeling a little worried. Is Golden Lion Shiki going to die soon?

So where will Basire go to find the Float Fruit?

The blood-red Conqueror's lightning surrounding Shiki turned into black lightning when concentrated on the jet-black fists and twin swords.

"I have to say that the combination of Armament Haki emission and Conqueror's infusion at the same time is the most powerful attack in the world!"

"Rocks, Roger and Garp are all real monsters who apply this terrifying energy to the utmost!"

Shiki seemed to think of those world-class strong men with amazing talents. He admitted that his Conqueror's infusion was completely inferior to these monsters.

'It turns out that this is how Conqueror's Haki is changed from a large area attack to a single point concentrated attack, but it requires a lot of willpower and control!'

Basire immediately learned from Golden Lion Shiki and wanted to compress the unbridled Conqueror's Haki into his fist, but found that it was not that easy.

"Kid, if you can't even retract it freely and compress it in a fixed point, you are still far from being able to use Conqueror's infusion!"

"But now let this old man see if he can break your barrier today!"

Golden Lion Shiki cursed contemptuously, Basire's current Conqueror's Haki has not been practiced at all, so it is impossible for him to succeed.

When he saw Basire's barrier, Shiki was annoyed. He still didn't believe it was invincible and wanted to break it before he died!

He doesn't believe that a Devil Fruit has the ability of absolute defense. If it does, it must be because he's just not strong enough.

If he was ten times or a hundred times stronger than the user of the barrier fruit, he wouldn't believe that he couldn't break this barrier.

However, he doesn't seem to be ten or a hundred times stronger than Basire now.

But he still had to give it a try. Anyway, he felt that his life was almost over.

If Basire can't withstand this attack and Conqueror's infusion, then let him accompany him to hell!

"Shiki! I don't want you to die so soon!"

After Basire tried Conqueror's infusion several times without success, he decisively gave up the idea for now. He was indeed still a long way from being ready.

The current goal is to capture Golden Lion Shiki alive and not let him die in this battle!

A barrier armor appeared on Basire, and he didn't want to force himself to take Shiki's Conqueror infusion without protection.

"Do you want to capture this old man and sell him for money? Or do you have some other plans?"

Shiki snorted coldly and stopped beeping. The two famous swords entwined with black Conqueror's lightning suddenly struck at Basire with endless power.

He will not be in this state for long, and this battle must be ended as soon as possible.

If the barrier can be broken, then drag Basire along with him and die together. If it cannot be broken, then treat this brat as his heir, go and dominate the world, and kill Roger's heir, red-haired Shanks.

Seeing Golden Lion coming towards him, Basire did not dodge, but faced the Conqueror's infusion power directly, feeling its principles of use and method of condensation.

Basire was wearing barrier armor and holding a barrier blade. The scales of the Kirin Lion shone scarlet red, and the seven-star demon pattern was strangely swirling. He also rushed towards Shiki at high speed!

"You little brat Basire! You must die for me!"

"Old thief Shiki! You will lose this time!"

Golden Lion Shiki's double swords wrapped in Conqueror's Haki flashed with black lightning and suddenly struck down at Basire.

Basire, who was wearing his invincible barrier armor and holding a barrier blade in his hand, struck diagonally with the powerful power of the Kirin lion scale tattoo.

It's a familiar scene again, but this time, the two blades did not collide.

Even before the extremely powerful Conqueror's infusion on Shiki's swords touched the barrier blade. This terrifying force has already brought destructive power and oppressed Basire's barrier blade.

Basire's black barrier blade also flowed with Armament Haki Emission.

Blood red and black lightning splashed everywhere as a terrifying aura erupted, and circles of powerful shock waves spread. Their hair flew back, and their clothes rustled in the strong wind.

"Their swords didn't touch each other!"

Law's eyes widened, and his pupils suddenly shrank into needles, full of disbelief.

Is this the true strength of the great pirates?

Most of the pirates like them cannot withstand this terrifying collision of Conqueror's Haki.

"Their Conqueror's Haki is several times more powerful than last time!"

Van Augur and Doc Q couldn't help but speak with a smile on their faces and eyes full of expectation.

"So strong!"

Zoro tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, his eyes filled with desire. This fierce collision of swords was the type of fight he desired.

Armament emission, Conqueror's infusion, what a powerful force this is!

"Weehahaha! The captain has this kind of strength. Sooner or later we will enter the New World and grab one of the Yonkōs to take their position!"

Burgess laughed and said, today's war was finally a happy one, king against king!

"You should be more ambitious, the captain will become the Pirate King!"

Lafitte suddenly grinned, and his fingers holding the black hat were trembling slightly.

"I think it can be even bigger. The captain's goal is ruling the world. He may not even care about the position of Pirate King!"

Kuro held up his glasses with his palms, and a white light flashed on them, and he said calmly.

Trafalgar Law also swallowed his saliva after hearing these guys mention such exaggerated goals.

It seems that his dream is the lowest one, because he just wants to kill Doflamingo, one of the Shichibukai.

Compared to the lofty goals of becoming a Yonkō, getting the One Piece, and King of the World, he is just a rookie.

"Wahahaha! It turns out that the Captain's ambition is so great, no wonder his Conqueror's Haki is so strong!"

Eldoraggo and the rest of the crew shouted excitedly, thinking that they had definitely followed the right captain, and they would become legendary pirates in the future.

On the other side of the battlefield, Basire and Shiki collided fiercely and finally bounced away.

Basire's barrier armor was not broken, and the barrier blade was not broken either, but his face was a little tired and pale.

Because he used a lot of Haki and stamina to keep up with the Conqueror's infusion together with the Armament emission of Shiki, but thanks to this he deeply understood the power of Conqueror's infusion.

The black lightning on the double blades on Golden Lion Shiki's hands faded, and even the black color of his weapons could no longer be maintained.

Shiki floated tremblingly in the air, breathing heavily, as if he was about to collapse and fall into the sea the next moment.

At this moment, the old lion was bleeding from the wounds on his leg stumps and the rudder on the top of his head. The blood on his head was sliding down his face and dripping down his chin.

"Jie...ha...ha, Mad! Still...can't break it! This bullshit barrier fruit!"

Golden Lion's chest was rising and falling, his breath began to decline, and his face became paler. The severe pain from the wound on his head made his consciousness a little blurry.

"Hoho~, is this the terrifying power of Conqueror's infusion! Sooner or later I will master it!"

Basire's Barrier Susanoo Wings flapped, and the wind-blasting shoes under his feet were also releasing wind power, saving a little energy for him to maintain the flight mode.

"I'm really unwilling! I keep falling in the hands of the weak East Blue people again and again…!"

Shiki's eyes were a little distracted, and he said something feebly. Then he couldn't hold on any longer and suddenly started to fall down.

There was too much blood flowing out of his legs, and the wound from the rudder on his head had opened, so he knew that he would not survive for long.

But his soul will return to the sea, which can be regarded as the ideal resting place for pirates.

However, Basire will not just watch him fall into the sea.

"Old man! Now is not the time for you to die!"

Basire quickly rushed over, grabbed the old and sick lion, and then flew madly towards the Ark Maxim.

"Doc Q, Law, save his life. You must not let him die. Try not to let him lose consciousness!"

Basire shouted loudly, if he could, he would also accept Golden Lion Shiki's floating Sky Island group.

"Clear!"

Doc Q and Law said quickly, but before treatment, they still put seastone handcuffs on Golden Lion Shiki's hands.

'Room!'

Law directly cut off Shiki's thighs and head, and even split Shiki's head vertically with his sword. Then he immediately began to carefully take out the exposed rudder and repair the bleeding hole.

This scene made Doc Q and the other crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates widen their eyes. The ability of this Op-Op Fruit was too exaggerated.

Even Shiki himself was in a daze. After his body was injected with a tube of poison by Doc Q, his consciousness that was about to fade actually recovered more than half.

After his head was divided into two halves, one of his eyes was watching the other half of the head being operated on, and even blinked at the other eye, which made him widen his eyes.

He couldn't react at all in his mind. He saw both halves of his head with both eyes, and his CPU was almost smoking.

He also watched with his own eyes as the rudder was removed from each half of his head.

Seeing the broken rudder being thrown aside, the rudder that had troubled him for more than twenty years was actually solved so easily.

If he knew that a Devil Fruit had this kind of ability to heal, he wouldn't have bothered with the experiments on monsters.

Just go to this doctor directly!

Dr. Indigo, this dog-ship doctor, tricked him!

Both halves of Shiki's mouth were opening and closing, as if he wanted to curse his ship's doctor, but in the end he didn't shout.

Because everything was irreversible, and he became a prisoner again.

The surgery on both legs was simpler and the bleeding was stopped quickly.

However, in order to save his life, Law, who worked hard, directly attached the chicken feet of a two-and-a-half-meter-tall giant chicken monster to Shiki's legs.

Even its rooster comb was put on his head to make up for the lack of a rudder.

In this way, the Golden Lion Shiki, who was wearing seastone handcuffs, was assembled again. While maintaining consciousness, his life was saved and he became a prisoner!
