Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

Having said that, even with the Ark Maxim's technology, which allows the Tamamo to fly in the air for a long time, it is not easy to find the Golden Lion in the entire East China Sea.

Even a hunter with sophisticated skills has to lure out prey when he encounters elusive prey - therefore, on the way to the East China Sea, Yakumo Bai deliberately lowered the altitude of the Tamamo so that the people below could capture the movements of the ship without directly recognizing that it was Yakumo Bai's pirate ship.

Since the other party is in the dark, try to bring him to the front. With the Golden Lion's flamboyant and unruly character, if he sees the navy coming to attack him in a high-profile manner, even if he knows that it is not him who is exposed in front of everyone, he will still choose to stand up and fight.

There is no special reason, it's just because he is Shiki. He couldn't bear to see his old enemy come to an end just because Roger surrendered, so he went to the Navy Headquarters. How could he watch the Golden Lion "scared and avoided fighting" when facing the Navy's crusade?

"This is an open conspiracy, Shi Ji, and it is a conspiracy specifically targeting you..."

In the East China Sea, on the Tamamo that had quietly landed on the sea surface since entering this sea area, Yakumo Shiro stood facing the wind, his eyes fixed on the rapidly receding sea surface beneath his feet, but his mind unconsciously drifted away into the distance.

The ability of the Float-Float Fruit undoubtedly has a natural advantage in this world dominated by naval and land battles. If Golden Lion's flying fleet had not encountered a sudden storm, it would be hard to say whether Roger could still reach Raftel and become the Pirate King. Golden Lion might be able to reproduce some of the glory of the Rocks Pirates.

However, putting aside the fact that the Float-Float Fruit can increase one's own strength, building a flying fleet does not necessarily require the power of the Float-Float Fruit. If one can thoroughly understand the technology left over from the moon, then warships like the Ark Proverbs can be mass-produced.

In addition to gold, the best alternative materials for ships are the various composite materials produced every day in the research institutes of Wano Country, many of which have good electrical conductivity.

As for the source of electricity, the fossil resources that have not been fully utilized today are a huge treasure, such as coal, oil... The technology in the pirate world is obviously insufficient in the development and utilization of energy. Although internal combustion engines and electric power technology exist, they are not common, and it can even be said that there are very few of them.

Out of fear of the ancient kingdom's technological lead that was hundreds of years ahead, the world government's control over technology has invisibly left them with a huge loophole. When this potential resource is occupied, the balance of power will tilt.

"But if we want to develop lunar technology, Vegapunk's power is indispensable! Seraphs, artificial mythical beasts... Sometimes we have to admit that even among a group of freaks, there is always a brilliant genius.

Hehe~ Big-Mom, don't let me down! Punk Hazard, I'm waiting for you to open a breakthrough for me!"

Thinking of this, Yakumo Shiro shook his head helplessly. Big Mom was very cautious about this matter. She was not dazzled by the temptation of the giants. She had been secretly gathering intelligence in the past few years. It must have taken a lot of effort just to determine the location of Punk Hazard.

But, it should be soon...

After the tea party, the pirate alliance formed by Lucas and others quickly attracted a large group of ambitious speculators by virtue of their reputation and strength. Later, they used this forcibly gathered force to compete for power with the other three major forces in the New World.

Although there is a lack of truly top-notch combat power, just like the Cross Guild of Buggy the Clown in the original work, anyone who has ambitions and is unwilling to submit to the three overlords chooses to join this loose alliance. With the accumulation of a large number of mid- and high-level combat forces, it is a force that cannot be underestimated.

In the past few years, this pirate alliance has chosen to lie dormant, mediating between various forces and developing secretly. Now it has truly bared its fangs and shown its edge.

Perhaps in order to eliminate internal conflicts, or perhaps to temper the gathered pirate strength, the first opponent they chose was the Beasts Pirates - Big Mom was also involved, and Umit from the underground world fully supported them.

It has to be said that if Wano Country had not been completely annexed and a large number of advanced weapons had not been produced, such a war would have been a big trouble for the Beasts Pirates.

However, this is not the time. Lucas used this war as a touchstone, and Kaido (Yakumo Haku) also had such plans. The huge interests and power expansion need the baptism of a war to be completely digested. Only the forces that have emerged from blood and fire can stand longer.

Before Yakumo Shiro left the New World, the war had been deadlocked for a long time. Both sides had tacitly invested appropriate forces to wear down and clash with each other, just to select the best warriors as the foundation.

Yaoye, Yamato, Lilith, Runti and others are now either in charge of the central government or directly involved in it. For them, this war may be an opportunity for transformation.

Such a stalemate is naturally a good opportunity for Big Mom. When she decided to carry out the plan of raiding Punk Hazard, she certainly did not want a fire in her own backyard. Now, except for Whitebeard, who only has his family in his eyes, the other two forces are stuck in the quagmire of war. As long as she can seize this gap, the power of the giants will inevitably and only fall into her hands!

"Haha~ Watching the pirates fighting in the New World, you didn't expect that a ferocious beast would also break into your backyard, right? The Navy?

But don't worry, the East Sea... the Pirate Alliance... Punk Hazard... things have to be done step by step, and no one can always be a bystander~"

----------

Two days later, East China Sea.

As Yakumo Shiro gradually advanced deeper and occasionally "guest-starred" as the Golden Lion Shiki, the entire East China Sea had been subtly plunged into a certain tense atmosphere, especially as the naval fleet led by Borsalino entered Rogue Town, some people with ulterior motives had secretly sensed a certain pressure of impending storm.

The East China Sea was still calm at this time, but the potential undercurrent was quietly surging.

"Mr. Cap? Mr. Cap!"

In the naval branch of Rogge Town, Borsalino, who should have been the highest commander at the moment, stood aside with a helpless look on his face. Even though he was as lazy as he was, he was helpless against the person in front of him.

"Snapped--"

A group of unknown bubbles that rose and fell with the snoring suddenly burst, and a burly man with gray hair stood up sleepily. After realizing the identity of the person in front of him, he laughed naturally.

"Oh! Borsalino, you're here! It's just right. Since I've finished what Zhan Guo asked me to do, I'll go home and take a vacation first! Then..."

"Mr. Karp!"

Before the man who looked very out of tune could finish his words, the man dressed as a swordsman in a gray suit couldn't help but speak up.

"Mr. Zhan Guo's request is that you assist Lieutenant General Borsalino in capturing the Golden Lion Shiki, not to rotate the defense of Rogue Town... As for the vacation, please postpone it~"

"......(frown)"

Hearing this, Karp, who was about to take the opportunity to escape, stopped immediately, then sat back in his original position in a bad mood, and said dissatisfiedly,

"Tsk! I finally have time to go home and see my grandson, but Zhan Guo is such a tactless guy! Is this the jealousy of someone without grandsons?"

There were probably not many people in the entire Navy Headquarters who dared to make up stories about the current admiral in private, but it just so happened that the "Navy hero" in front of them was one of them. After hearing the other party's remarks, everyone present had to pretend that they didn't hear it, and then tried hard to get the topic back on track.

"Ahem~ Mr. Garp, I'd like to ask for your guidance on this operation. After all, you are more experienced in dealing with the golden lions of the previous generation, right?"

Borsalino said with a smile.

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Karp curled his lips impatiently, then hugged his shoulders and asked,

"By the way, Borsalino, you're not here to live off your parents, are you?

Zhan Guo only sent you? You can't leave all the fighting to me, right?"

"Haha, of course not, Mr. Garp. This time, besides me, there are also several vice admirals coming with Ghost Spider. After all, we are dealing with the Golden Lion, so a mere vice admiral like me is no match for him.

Oh, if you still want to ask Sakaski, that guy had already ignored orders and ran to find the whereabouts of Yakumo Shiro, and Kuzan is now stationed in the branch in the New World.

So, it seems that I am the only one who can come now..."

"Is this so..."

After listening to Borsalino's report, Cap nodded.

"But how do you plan to find Shiki? The golden lion's Floating Fruit is quite troublesome. You never know where he will suddenly appear. This old man and Zhan Guo suffered a lot in the past."

"Actually... before we came here, Vice Admiral Tsuru had already explained it to us, and also gave us a solution that wasn't really a solution..."

"What?" Karp had a bad feeling.

"Ahem, I'm just borrowing your reputation to challenge the Golden Lion to a fight~

After all, who doesn't know that you were one of the important contributors to capturing him and bringing him to Push Forward?

This time, I will trouble you again~ Vice Admiral Garp~"
