May of the year 1519 in the Sea Circle Calendar.
In the relatively peaceful South Blue.
As the Impaling Guild rapidly rose to prominence in the Taya Kingdom, many underworld forces in the various Affiliated Nation of the South Blue surrendered and joined the Impaling Guild under the attacks and intimidation of figures like Aramaki, Burgess, and Krieg.
The Impaling Guild rose from nothing to become the strongest underworld organization in the South Blue at an astonishing speed, dominating and integrating most of the underworld forces.
During these four or five months, a Seastone fleet of the Goa Empire entered the Grand Line in a grand procession and completed docking with the Baroque Works and the Four Seas Fleet under the command of Wang Shi.
Subsequently, more troops crossed the Calm Belt directly into the South Blue to assist the Piercing Guild in unifying the South Blue underworld.
Not only did Burgess make a name for himself, but even some of the executives of the Baroque Works gained considerable fame.
This Four Seas Fleet also openly operated under the banner of the Goa Empire, conducting trade throughout the Grand Line, the East Blue, and the South Blue, gaining great fame.
Even the Deep Sea King and Storage King of the New World had to give up some profits to cooperate with the Four Seas Fleet to purchase goods from Four Blues and transport them to the New World.
Their main business lies with the major powers in the New World, as well as the West Blue and the North Blue.
However, at this rate, it is believed that the Four Seas Fleet's influence will soon extend into the West Blue and the North Blue.
After all, the underworld of the West Blue has been unified.
Even the most chaotic underworld in North Blue is engaged in fierce fighting.
With the cooperation between the Germa Legion and the Donquixote Family, the North Blue underworld has been largely integrated, and unification is not far off.
This deeply unsettled these underground dark emperors.
These underground tycoons, such as the Deep Sea King and the Storage King, can only try to cooperate with Wang Shi and integrate into Wang Shi's Four Blues economic ecosystem to seek their own new position.
However, they believed that the Four Emperors would not allow the Four Seas Fleet, which had the background of Affiliated Nation, to enter the New World.
They were still able to maintain their business share in the New World.
They hoped that Wang Shi wouldn't be so greedy, daring to even covet the Underworld business of the New World.
Otherwise, they would have to persuade the Four Emperors to intervene.
Currently, Wang Shi mainly adopts a strategy of winning over and cooperating with these underground dark emperors, aiming to first integrate the entire world's underground underworld.
In the New World, Wang Shi could continue to let these underground dark emperors lead the way.
In any case, Doflamingo and Stussy are both 'loyal' allies of the Wang Shi.
Wang Shi is also actively trying to win over this guy Morgans's making Big News.
After all, by controlling the narrative of news, Wang Shi could more easily manipulate the entire world.
The Deep Sea King, the Storage King, and the King of Usury are all actively contacting Wang Shi, hoping to get a share of the pie in the global underworld system.
Only the Great News Morgans, this scum who traffics in slaves and human organs, currently has no conflict or overlap with the Four Seas Fleet's business.
Therefore, this guy didn't have much contact with Wang Shi.
Among all the underground dark emperors, he stood out.
Wang Shi had already made up his mind that if he wanted to establish his authority in the Underworld, the Great News Morgans Drago Kuro would be his first target.
···
The Grand Line - Sabaody Archipelago.
In one of the port islands, the magnificent Exile Emperor of the Goa Empire was being coated.
Dozens of coating workers worked together to shorten the coating time.
This Wang Shi did not choose to go through the World Government's safe passage, but instead chose to go to Fish-Man Island to enter the New World.
Because besides Nami and her friends wanting to land on the Sabaody Archipelago and Fish-Man Island, there's also a pink-haired little girl who wants to go to the legendary Fish-Man Island.
Of course, it's still to avoid the World Government discovering and questioning about the Seastone Warship.
Wang Shi has absolutely no desire to play Mary Geoise right now.
"Finally landed in Sabaody!"
"I want to go to the Bubble Playground!"
"The bubble culture here is quite nice and bustling, but it still can't compare to our Goa Imperial Capital."
Nami, Nojiko, Kaya looked excited.
They also spent time and shopping around the Sabaody Archipelago with Reiju, Baby5, and Maya.
"Can we go to Fish-Man Island after the coating is applied?"
A pink-haired little girl wearing a panda mask watched the Exile Emperor being coated little by little, her eyes filled with expectation.
This little one is Bonney, who was photographed by Tyrant Kuma at the Goa Imperial Palace a few months ago.
Wang Shi has been raising Kuma's daughter for several months now.
Even Vegapunk and Saint Saturn never expected that the usually honest Tyrant Kuma would do something so shameless as to break his promise.
Is this still the same honest, good-natured, crybaby Kuma?
Because Saint Saturn lost Bonney as his only bargaining chip, he was unable to threaten Kuma into undergoing the memory-erasing surgery.
This infuriated Saint Saturn, who almost decided to personally take Kizaru and confront Kuma.
However, following the advice of the Wang Shi, Kuma gave the enraged Saint Saturn a way out, promising to continue serving as Shichibukai and working for the World Government.
Helpless, Saint Saturn had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill after weighing the pros and cons.
It's not really a loss for them.
After all, it's just the cost of treating Bonney. Kuma has already donated his cloned genes to create the Pacifista and is even willing to become Shichibukai to work for the World Government.
But for the Five Elders, who are high and mighty, not squeezing every last drop of value out of these ants would be a loss.
The Kuma suddenly slipped out of control, causing Saint Saturn to lose face and feel uncomfortable.
Seeing that this only Shichibukai was being controlled had become a disobedient element like the other Shichibukai.
In the end Saint Saturn could only threaten Kuma verbally, saying that Bonney's illness was not yet cured, hoping to make Kuma obedient.
But the Kuma didn't believe Saint Saturn's nonsense; he believed Wang Shi's words more.
However, Kuma did not refute Saint Saturn, too lazy to provoke this Five Elders any further.
Seeing that the Kuma was unyielding and had gained confidence, Saint Saturn did not press him further.
To prevent Kuma from simply leaving and causing the Shichibukai to be short of personnel again.
After all, Wang Shi hadn't found a suitable replacement after defeating Sand Crocodile.
As the new Shichibukai, Kuma cannot leave immediately after joining.
This would be a disgrace to the World Government and the Seven Warlords of the Sea system.
Saint Saturn could only secretly send CP agents around the world to find Bonney, hoping to retrieve this crucial bargaining chip.
···
"Yes, but this is our first time visiting Fish-Man Island too."
Wang Shi stroked Bonney's pink-haired head. No one expected that he now had Robin and Bonney, two of the World Government's most wanted criminals, on his ship.
It has to be said that Wang Shi is incredibly bold.
If the two are exposed, the Five Elders could launch a full-scale attack on the Goa Empire at any time.
However, Wang Shi had already secretly colluded with Vegapunk to seize the World Government's technology.
They even made some plans with the Revolutionary Army.
These are all unforgivable sins.
As the saying goes, the bold get rich, the timid starve.
As long as Wang Shi keeps it a secret enough, those lackeys of the World Government will have no way of finding out anything about Wang Shi's ship.
"It's a pity that Little Bear can't come with us."
Bonney was a little disappointed. Although she could Den Den Mushi Kuma every day via Den Den Kuma, the World Government was now making Kuma run missions all over the place so that he had no time to visit her.
Kuma was somewhat worried that Bonney hadn't fully recovered, so he didn't refuse some of the tasks assigned by the World Government.
Honest Kuma even felt a little guilty towards Vegapunk and wanted to repay Bonney's medical expenses by completing the mission, so that his conscience could be at ease.
Wang Shi couldn't help but sigh that Kuma was far too honest and kind.
