Action Begins

Gem was trembling with fear.

He was knocked unconscious by that violent woman's slap.

But he quickly came to his senses. After all, he was a notorious bully on the island who tyrannized the market, and while his physical abilities weren't exactly monstrous, they were at least passable.

However, at that moment, he wished he could just bang his head against the wall and knock himself unconscious.

Why did you wake up, you bastard!

Gem felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.

The Revolutionary Army and the Pirate Emperor are discussing something important.

And CP0, which we don't know what it is, must be a terrifying behemoth that requires these two groups to work together to deal with.

I've overheard such a secret.

And it was discovered.

They're doomed.

They're doomed.

I'm definitely going to die this time.

The bully Gem was heartbroken.

If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have become a bully. Although it might seem imposing, I don't have two decent friends, and no good girl would like me.

I really should have become a firefighter.

Sirius certainly noticed that Gem had woken up, or rather, the only person in the restaurant who hadn't realized it yet was Bonney, who didn't possess Observation Haki.

This guy has really bad luck.

Sirius thought with a smile.

He still had a deep impression of Mr. 5, after all, it was truly outstanding that he had developed such a powerful Devil Fruit Bomb Fruit into such a form.

"Let me take him back to the Revolutionary Army."

Xiong said, "He might need some work as a form of rehabilitation."

Sirius didn't care either.

He didn't care whether that guy lived or died.

But at that moment, Gem forcefully pulled his head off the wall and shouted, "Lord Black Wolf, please let me join you! I'm Paramecia Bomb Devil Fruit User, I'll definitely be useful!"

Everyone knows how the Revolutionary Army deals with scoundrels like themselves!

If I were to be taken to the Revolutionary Army, my fate would be worse than death.

The only one who can save me now is this Lord Black Wolf!

Thinking about it carefully, wouldn't Sirius Pirates be fantastic?

That's a pirate crew commanded by the Pirate Emperor!

We were standing directly at the top of the ocean.

Gem looked at Sirius with great anticipation.

Sirius smiled. "I have no interest in a weakling like you."

"Weak, the weak?"

Gem felt insulted. "I'm a Bomb-Bomb Devil Fruit User! My whole body can explode!"

Sirius simply chuckled, too lazy to even reply.

"I think Mr. Sirius means that you don't have the heart of a strong person."

The bear calmly walked over and grabbed Gem.

"The heart of a strong person? What's that?! I don't understand what you're talking about at all!"

"If you don't understand, just think about it while you're working, and you'll figure it out eventually."

He's so gentle; Sirius was almost moved to tears by the bear.

Gem did cry, but not because he was moved.

Then, he returned to the Sirius with Bonney, Gem, Sirius, and the others who had been captured.

Sirius called all his companions back and explained the whole story.

"So, are we going to go to war with CP0 again?"

Jack frowned, his tone somewhat serious, "Last time it was the top executive, this time it's the Strongest Shield's turn?"

"Because we've become stronger, the enemies we encounter will naturally become stronger as well," Maria said with a smile.

"This is a great opportunity!"

Luo said, "It's dangerous to have that kind of guy following us around. He's like a bomb; we never know when he might explode. We should definitely take him out first."

And so, the Shield Breaking Plan was finalized.

The Kingdom of Sorbeth was not far from the island they had landed on before, and with the Sirius's incredible speed, they arrived at the Kingdom of Sorbeth very quickly.

Sirius and his team did not land with Xiong, as that would make them too conspicuous. If CP0 had any undercover agents in the country, it would easily expose them.

After reaching the shore, Bear and Bonney disembarked and returned home in a grand procession.

The bear enjoys a high reputation in this country; at least, the joyful smiles on the faces of the people who came to welcome its return, as seen through the periscope, were genuine.

It seems that the name "Tyrant Kuma" doesn't quite live up to its reputation.

Sirius and his group stayed on the shore, only surfacing occasionally at night for air.

This went on for over a week, Sirius was extremely bored.

Then, finally, that night, the Sirius floated on the sea to get some air, and as Sirius stood on the deck enjoying the sea breeze, a wind began to blow from the sky.

"It's finally here!"

Sirius a sigh of relief.

If this continues, he'll soon be pregnant with Yu Yu's body.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Sirius!"

The wind above the Sirius coalesced into the shape of Dragon, and he smiled, saying, "The plan is complete. Let's begin!"

Sirius's lips curled into a smile.

This is interesting; it's finally about to begin.

A Marine Base in the South Blue.

In the harbor of the base, there is an ordinary-looking ship docked.

Logically, this is impossible, since this is a Marine Base port where warships dock; civilian vessels have no right to dock here.

But this ship broke this ironclad rule, and is now quietly docked here.

This only proves that the people who came on this ship were not ordinary people.

That is certainly true.

At this moment, the top floor of the base building, where the base commander's office originally belonged, had been occupied by someone else.

Zero stood in front of a huge map, frowning as he pondered deeply.

This is a nautical chart of the South Blue, densely packed with various standards.

Unable to find the whereabouts of Sirius and his group, the only option is to try and recreate the situation in the North Sea at that time, guessing where Sirius and his group might land, and then hoping for a lucky capture.

Ultimately, that group was too cautious.

Is this really something pirates should do? Or is it something a powerful pirate known as an emperor should do?

Aren't those guys all incredibly arrogant?

Why is it that Sirius and his group are so discreet?

Then, at that moment, the office door was pushed open, and Zero's prized student, Warren, entered with a beaming smile. "Teacher, we have news about that guy Xiong!"

"Oh!?"

Zero turned around with immense surprise.

"Not far from here, on Ende Island, Xiong said there were guys who looked like Sirius!" Warren said in a deep voice.

"Suspected?"

Zero frowned slightly as he looked at the location of Ende Island on the nautical chart. It was indeed not far from this Marine Base.

"The guy said he wasn't sure," Warren said with a laugh. "He seems rough around the edges, but he's actually a very cautious man, probably because he doesn't want to take responsibility if he's wrong."

"Then let's go take a look."

Even if it's just a suspicion, it's better than nothing.

"Oh right, tell that guy Kuma to go there quickly too! Time is of the essence, and the navy's support is too late, but with him, our combat strength should be about enough!"
