Chapter 679

"Yes! I didn't want to come in the first place. If the island hadn't developed so well and I hadn't been so bored, I wouldn't have come."

"I see, that's really a headache. The more the pirates develop, the more we decline!"

"Hehehe...! Hey! You seem to have some complaints, which is a disservice to your title of Buddha, Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and a person walked over and said, "After listening to all this nonsense, have I come to the wrong place?"

"Hawk Eyes!!"

"If the Navy Headquarters is only going to stand up to the Shichibukai, then what's the point of this round table?" Hawk Eyes said.

Sengoku began, "I never expected you to be like this..."

"Oh dear! The most unexpected man has arrived!"

"Hmph! I'm just here to sit in. I'm only slightly interested in the man involved in this topic... that's all," Hawk Eyes said.

Suddenly, another voice rang out, "Then may I join the audience? Oh dear! It might not just be about listening; you all look so serious!"

"Who are you? Where did you come from?"

"With the title of Crocodile stripped from this gathering, I'm sure everyone is eager to find a successor!" the newcomer announced.

Tsuru glanced at the newcomer and said, "You must be Lafitte!"

"Oh...! I'm utterly astonished that someone knows my name," Lafitte said.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku glanced at the man and asked Tsuru, "Staff Officer Tsuru, who is this person?"

"He's a well-known security officer in the West Blue, a man who abused violence and was expelled from the country," Tsuru said.

"Hehe! Those are all things of the past, irrelevant now. I'm here to recommend someone to the Shichibukai, our captain, Blackbeard. In return, we will present Chen Fan's head to you all," Lafitte said.

"They're really courting death!" a Marine Vice Admiral said, but was stopped by Sengoku the Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

The Fleet Admiral Sengoku spoke up, "If your captain can truly take Chen Fan's head—no, just kill this man—I can guarantee that your captain will become one of the Shichibukai."

"It's settled then. Please remember our pirate crew's name: the Blackbeard Pirates." Lafitte finished speaking and left.

Hawk Eyes then turned and left, saying, "There's no need to remember! Because this person and this pirate crew will soon disappear from this world!"

Hawk Eyes's words confused Doflamingo, who paused for a moment. However, Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Tsuru exchanged a glance; things seemed to have become more complicated. They both knew Chen Fan's approximate strength because Aokiji had fought Chen Fan. Hawk Eyes's statement implied that Chen Hawk Eyes seemed to know Chen Fan, even though they didn't want Chen Fan to have too much contact with the Shichibukai.

Chapter 187 Bullets

(Chapter 187 Bullets)

While everyone was busy dealing with Chen Fan's defeat of the Shichibukai, Chen Fan's ship was heading towards Jaya Island. Not long ago, the Log Pose pointed to the sky, and Chen Fan knew they were likely heading towards Sky Island. Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit was one of Chen Fan's goals; anyone who's watched the Pirate King anime would remember that fruit, and Chen Fan was no exception. Enel's maximum power level was 200 million Fords, and it was unknown whether he could reach even higher levels after further training, but this was already quite impressive. Railgun was a Level 5 esper, capable of manipulating a voltage of one billion Fords, making Enel roughly a fifth of a Level 5. Chen Fan was currently only Level 4, and he didn't know if he could take him down. Luffy had an absolute protagonist's aura, much like Kamijou Touma Chen Fan's power was similar to Accelerator's. Heh, two people defeated by protagonist's auras together Koby much more interesting than the two main characters. However, Chen Fan was also confident that if Enel's personality was as depicted in the anime, Chen Fan could find an opportunity to instantly kill him, since Railgun was completely countered by Accelerator.

After the Log Pose to the sky, Chen Fan encountered a nearby pirate crew. Chen Fan 'd forgotten their name, but as Chen Fan famously said, "I have no memory of anything unpleasant." He managed to get an Eternal Pose from that crew, which headed towards Jaya Island. Chen Fan vaguely remembered that the Knock Up Stream carried the ship there, but Chen Fan didn't know where it was. He'd see if he could inquire on the island and perhaps buy some supplies; sailing the high seas required a lot of preparation.

Chen Fan sat on the boat fishing. The rare good weather was a perfect time to sleep. "Ah..." Chen Fan patted his mouth with his hand, then continued fishing. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and finally he closed his eyes.

The float darted underwater with a whoosh, and the fishing rod slid swiftly through Chen Fan's hand. Chen Fan opened his eyes, surprised that a fish had taken the bait. Lucky him! A smile appeared on Chen Fan's lips. He stood up and pulled hard, causing the boat to rock. A large shark was pulled to the surface, staring wide-eyed at Chen Fan.

There was a fishing line in the shark's mouth, the other end of which was Chen Fan's fishing rod. Chen Fan jumped up, pointed at the shark, and cursed, "Damn it! Do you have to be like this? You won't even let a small fish go? I'm not interested in shark meat. Open your mouth and get lost!!"

The shark, however, wore a ferocious smile, as if to say, "I'm interested in your flesh."
