Spaden's terrifying shockwave completely stunned the bounty hunters and other powerful figures throughout the port.
One punch can blow up a person, one punch can blow up a ship.
Even the previously arrogant fighting champion, Burgess, was easily defeated with a single punch, and his fate remains unknown.
Could this man really have defeated a notorious pirate with a bounty of hundreds of millions, just like those kids brag about?
"Gurgle~"
Countless sounds of swallowing filled the air, and the bounty hunters broke out in a cold sweat, involuntarily retreating.
It seems they've messed with someone formidable.
"Uncle Spaden is so cool!"
"Uncle Spaden is the best!"
The boys and girls cheered excitedly; Uncle Spaden truly lived up to his reputation as their guardian angel.
In the waters Belili Island and Saipan Island in the New World, Spaden is known as the Fist of Belili!
Ignoring Burgess, who had been knocked away, Spaden suddenly turned and looked into the distance.
A series of powerful auras appeared in his Observation Haki.
"So strong!"
"Is it One Emperor and Two Marquises?!"
Spaden stared intently at the group that was slowly coming into view.
His expression instantly turned serious, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
He originally thought he could overpower the Overlord of the North Blue, the Twin Heroes of the West Blue, suppress the Alabasta War, and defeat the Shichibukai One Emperor and Two Marquises.
Their strength is at most equivalent to the Sweet Commanders, the Three Disasters, the Three Division Commanders, and the Three Iron Wall Executives.
But now his Observation Haki and intuition were telling him that there were two auras that were definitely several times stronger than his and Jack the Drought's.
Could it be that the Marquess of Impalement and the Marquess of Falling Heavens, who serve the Emperor of Exile, are stronger than the Four Emperors' deputy?!
Spaden originally felt that with his strength, he could definitely be ranked alongside Aramaki and Ikko, becoming the third Marquess of the Goa Empire.
But he seemed to have underestimated the strength of the two marquises.
According to the Goa Empire's Baronetcy System, these two guys, who are stronger than himself and Jack the Drought, are definitely capable of possessing the strength of an Imperial Duke.
After all, Spaden believed he was no less capable than Jack the Drought.
The monstrous aura of these two imperial Marquess put immense pressure on Spaden, making him feel almost no sense of victory.
He felt as if he didn't deserve to be ranked alongside the two of them.
However, if the Wang Shi accepts him, Spaden is still confident that he can become an imperial Marquess.
As for these two monsters, they may soon be promoted to Duke of the empire.
At that time, the One Emperor and Two Marquises will become an emperor and two dukes.
Spaden hoped to briefly join the two men in being One Emperor and Three Marquesses Marquess they were promoted to knighthood.
···
The appearance of Wang Shi and his group instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Even the teenagers who are still cheering for Spaden are the same.
"Haha, quite impressive strength! You're even stronger than those wretched Daimyo of the Mulberry Kingdom!"
Looking at the powerful aura of Spaden, Aramaki felt that this guy was even stronger than Zhang Bao, the strongest pillar of the Flower Kingdom's Ippo Navy.
Although Zhang Bao and Chinjao possessed Conqueror's Haki, Aramaki could still clearly sense that Spaden posed a greater threat than the two pillars.
This guy seems to possess the bearing of an imperial Marquess.
Aramaki did not reject this man who might become an imperial Marquess like himself.
Because he was Aramaki, yet His Majesty described him as a fierce man with the bearing of Duke.
Given the chance to face the top pirates of the New World, he could become a legend and rise to the Duke of the Empire.
"His Majesty the Wang Shi, Marquess Aramaki, and Marquess Issho have arrived!!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!!"
···
Bounty hunters and wandering warriors throughout the port saluted Wang Shi, their eyes filled with respect for the powerful.
Wang Shi's reputation in the Four Blues and the Grand Line Paradise probably even higher than that of the Four Emperors.
Even Spaden immediately suppressed his berserk aura, led his clansmen and the brat off the ship, and saluted Wang Shi, the emperor of the empire.
After all, the reason he left the chaotic island of the New World with his family was to seek refuge with this Goa Emperor.
Now that he has sensed the immense power of the One Emperor and Two Marquises, he is even more respectful.
Those from the New World know better than these ignorant fools in this Paradise that they respect the strong.
He had heard before in the New World that there were people in the Four Blues who didn't even know about Devil Fruit, and that countless pirates in the Grand Line Paradise didn't even know about Haki.
It's understandable that these fools, unaware of the terrifying Four Emperors of the Four Emperors, would disrespect them.
The saying "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger" and "ignorance breeds arrogance" have been fully demonstrated in these individuals.
"Spaden, Belili Island, New World, greets His Majesty the Wang Shi."
Spaden didn't know how to bow, so he just placed his hands haphazardly on his forehead and chest, bowed slightly, and gave a messy salute, like a sailor and a nobleman at the same time.
"Don't be so reserved."
Wang Shi looked at the man named Spaden; his face and eyes clearly indicated a fierce person.
But the young men and women standing behind him created a striking contrast against his menacing appearance.
A ruthless good person?
Could it be that, like Navy Ship Cutter T-Bone, he appears terrifying but is actually incredibly kind-hearted?
'Spaden?'
A thought flashed through Wang Shi's mind: Could it be that Marine Vice Admiral whom the Cross Guild had a crown on his head?
A crown, but worth 1 billion Belly.
Even the Marine Admiral and Navy Hero Fist Garp only have a bounty of three crowns.
In the Cross Guild's bounty posters, Marine Vice Admiral typically has a five-star bounty, which is 500 million Belly.
A Rear Admiral typically has three stars, or 300 million Belly.
Commodore and Colonels are generally worth one star, or 100 million Belly.
Of course, the specific reward will be determined based on fame.
Some slightly weaker Rear Admiral, or slightly stronger colonels, may have a two-star bounty, or 200 million Belly.
Like the "deserter king" Koby, who became a "Neo Marines hero" after the Rocky Port incident, and gained great fame.
Hero Koby, like any other Marine Vice Admiral, has a five-star bounty, worth 500 million Belly.
As for Vice Admiral Spaden, a formidable Vice Admiral who joined the Marine Headquarters through the World Military Draft, his wealth in the New World is twice that of an ordinary Vice Admiral (500 million Belly), reaching the level of a crown.
That means this strength has definitely been recognized by the Cross Guild.
Wang Shi's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Spaden, a formidable figure with a bounty as high as Jack the Drought?
Furthermore, both the Marine Admiral and Fist Garp have been reduced to 3 billion Belly by the Cross Guild, which is less than the Four Emperors.
Perhaps even a Vice Admiral like Spaden might be slightly outmaneuvered.
After all, the funds of the Cross Guild are certainly not comparable to those of the massive World Government, so it is perfectly normal for the bounty to be lowered a bit.
Furthermore, as a pirate-affiliated Cross Guild can use bounties to "belittle" the "power" of the Marine Admiral, thereby indirectly elevating the strength of the Four Emperors and boosting the morale of the pirates.
Even Buggy, one of the new Four Emperors, has a bounty exceeding 3 billion Belly, reaching 3.189 billion Belly, while Hawkeye Mihawk's bounty has reached 3.59 billion Belly.
You can't say that Hawkeye Mihawk is stronger than the Three Admirals and Fist Garp.
