The two of them didn't have to wait long.
Soon, footsteps sounded from outside the door.
Steady.
And rhythmic.
They belonged to someone who was confident and had ambitions of his own.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man walked in without a change in expression. He had a black crew cut, wore a green trench coat that left his chest bare, and was covered in scars. He was powerfully built and three meters tall.
He was Predator Axos.
He had once been the captain of the Flying Pirates' First Fleet, with a bounty of 1,738,000,000.
Even in this era, he was still a powerhouse who dominated his corner of the sea.
But he had since struck out on his own and become the captain of the Predator Pirates, leading a crew of lawless pirates.
Wary of Golden Lion's retribution, he had kept a low profile over the past two years.
He had even been forced to cooperate with the Liquor Kingdom and the Slave King.
But his true target was the Celestial Dragons.
"You bastard, do you have any idea what time it is? You made this prince wait for you for so long!"
The First Prince was furious. Although he was berating Axos, a closer look revealed that he was all bark and no bite. His opponent's presence was simply too overwhelming.
It made his hair stand on end for no reason.
"Sorry I'm late!"
Axos merely glanced at the First Prince. If the man hadn't been a prince of this country, Axos would have killed him without a second thought.
"Have a seat!"
Coridas Tolo, on the other hand, remained perfectly calm.
He gestured for Axos to sit down and have some tea.
"When will the Donquixote Family arrive?"
Axos took a seat, accepted the tea Coridas
