A Hostile Visitor

Hehe~

Shirahoshi grinned, revealing a few snow-white teeth.

"King Neptune, I'll have someone send over a special Den Den Mushi in a while!"

Cifer turned to look at Neptune.

Fish-Man Island also has Den Den Mushi, but those are universal and could be monitored by the World Government.

This is why Fish-Man Island almost never contacts the Whitebeard Pirates or Cifer.

Cifer plans to have Bater get some over.

Getting your hands on Den Den Mushi) isn't exactly difficult, but it's not exactly easy either.

In short, there are very few of them, and it's not easy to cultivate Den Den Mushi), as there aren't many channels to obtain them.

However, Bater is already in the Underworld, and with its financial power and Cifer's reputation, many people will be willing to buy into this.

"That's really troublesome, Brother Cifer!"

Neptune's joy was almost overflowing.

Having the means to contact Las Noches at any time is what truly provides an incredibly strong backer.

That's the emperor of the sea, and a powerful figure who can cross endless seas in an instant to be by your side!

Compared to that, the so-called status of a World Government Member States is utterly useless.

If it weren't for Queen Otohime's dying wish, Neptune would have long wanted to break away from the World Government and become part of the Cifer like other maritime nations.

After all, he was his daughter's captain, and he had spoken with him. How could he be a bad person?

"The matter of Shirahoshi is the matter of Las Noches."

Cifer spoke calmly, saying that the real trouble would be if his companions' families couldn't contact them in a crisis.

"Why did Lord Cifer suddenly decide to come looking for me?"

Shirahoshi was a little curious, after all, she had only mastered the transformation technique about half a month ago.

"It's Jinbe. He came to my territory to play and then told me he had a surprise for me, so I came."

Cifer answered without thinking, not noticing Shirahoshi's pouting lips.

How long are you staying this time?

"Just for a little while, Jinbe is still waiting for me to go back and have a drink."

"Then let's not waste any more time, let's go have some fun, Lord Cifer!"

Shirahoshi took his hand and ran outside.

She could finally fulfill her wish and stroll hand in hand with Lord Cifer on the streets of Fish-Man Island, just like any ordinary human.

Seeing the world through the eyes of a normal person, everything becomes so wonderful; finally, there is no longer a distance between them because of their body size.

"Lord Cifer, shall we go there?"

"I'm glad you like it."

Just as Jinbe was lying on the beach chair, lost in thought and about to fall asleep, Cifer finally returned from shopping and having dinner.

"How was the surprise?"

After yawning, Jinbe rubbed his eyes and asked.

Shirahoshi was acting mysteriously; he had no idea what the so-called surprise was.

"It really surprised me."

Now, there's no need to worry about Shirahoshi anymore. As for Vegapunk, since he still wants to use the World Government's resources for research, let him be.

Now that I own a large area in the New World, I can confidently accompany Shirahoshi on her travels when Shirahoshi comes up.

"Hahaha~ That's good!"

Jinbe took out two more bottles of sake and handed one to him.

As the two clinked glasses and drank, Enel slowly walked over, took a bottle of liquor from behind Cifer, and tossed it into the hands of Lucci was lying on the ground not far away.

He then took a bottle by himself, opened it, sat down in front of Cifer, and suddenly spoke:

"Should you go or should I go?"

"I'll go. If you go, you'll probably destroy the whole of Hachinosu."

"Yay! Hahahaha!"

The sudden conversation between the two, along with Enel's inexplicable laughter, left Jinbe somewhat bewildered.

"What happened?"

His Observation Haki was far inferior to the two of them, so he was unaware of what had happened.

"There's a pretty capable guy approaching my base. Shall we go check him out?"

Cifer downed the wine in one gulp, then tore through space and looked back at Jinbe.

"Of course, I'm incredibly bored."

He also wanted to see who this guy was who could impress this man.

Moreover, the fact that Cifer described his deputy as capable of destroying the "Hive" is enough to show that the newcomer's strength is comparable to that of Enel.

That's something that can stand at the very top of this ocean!

Meanwhile, at this moment in Rocky Port, a steel ship was swaggeringly docked.

Nearly half of the ship was already anchored on land in the port.

A man whose terrifying appearance alone was enough to show his fearsome nature emerged from the crowd and ascended Hachinosu.

He had blond hair and an extremely burly build, with huge muscles that looked like they were about to burst out of his clothes. Looking through his collar, you could see large burn marks on his muscular body.

"Sir, you..."

A commoner strode over because the tall man's boat was parked too imposingly, hindering the fishermen's voyages.

"Um?"

With just one glance from the man, the unsuspecting civilians were frightened away and collapsed to the ground.

"Is it an enemy?!"

Seeing this, the remaining people grabbed whatever tools were handy nearby and used them as weapons to surround him.

In addition, civilians quickly ran towards the center of the island, towards Las Noches.

After all, those architects had a Den Den Den Mushi) that could connect them to Cifer.

"The weak... there isn't a single person on the entire island who's even remotely worthy of your attention!"

The tall man's Observation Haki swept over Hachinosu, and from his tone, one could tell that he seemed quite dissatisfied, with even a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"I advise you to leave right away. Don't you know whose territory this is?!"

"This is the headquarters of the Sea Emperor!"

Some civilians began shouting, attempting to intimidate the people in front of them with Cifer.

"So, wherever he is, that's where I'm looking for him, that 'Black Winged Great Demon'!"

The man was getting impatient. After finally escaping from Impel Down, he had traveled thousands of miles to get here, just to see that man.

I met the man that many people say is now truly the World's Strongest Man!

"Mr. Cifer is not on the island right now. If you want to find him, just stay put and wait until he has time!"

"After all, not just anyone can meet that lord so easily!"

They immediately started clamoring to see their king, but some of the commoners, with their fiery tempers, wouldn't tolerate him.

"Hmph~ I respect the strong, but that doesn't mean someone like you deserves to stand in front of me."

He disdained to bother with lowly minions, and a powerful and tyrannical Conqueror's Haki erupted from him.

Surprisingly, none of the civilians fell.

Because the space in front of him suddenly shattered, and a figure spread out wings that looked like those of a demon:

"Who gave you permission to run wild on my turf?"
