The Kirin Lion, who arrived later, successfully reunited with Wang Shi other three.
Wang Shi and the other three went into Capone Bege's castle to rest.
Under the Wang Shi's command, the Kirin Lion carried Capone Bege on its back and flew directly towards the Calm Belt.
They're not going back to Silver Island this time.
They were going to North Blue to deal with the stubborn underworld forces that were putting up a fight.
"Nami, give me a proper makeover, make me look as terrible as possible!"
"Laffitte, take a picture of me and send it to Morgans."
"Also, have Miss Fox spread the news that I am seriously injured."
Inside the castle, Wang Shi leisurely gave instructions to everyone.
Wang Shi and the Three Dukes were all eating heartily to replenish their energy.
Wang Shi occasionally communicates with the Seven-Star Sword Spirit.
If the Seven-Star Dragon Emperor Sword needs blood, Wang Shi and the others from Goa will lend the Seven-Star Sword Spirit a hand.
Even the Vampire Morpher gained great benefits from Beast Kaido's blood.
Even Devil Fruit weapons have the potential to Awakening their abilities.
Cerberus, the Cerberus of Shamrock, is a good example.
"Your Majesty, what are you trying to do?"
Everyone was completely baffled by Wang Shi's actions. Who was Wang Shi trying to mislead?
"I took a great risk this time so that you could fight Beast Kaido and build your confidence."
Wang Shi chewed on the roasted meat with gusto, his voice filled with worry but his tone was surprisingly relaxed.
What are the risks?
The crowd, still curious, continued to press for more information.
"If I appear too powerful, I will most likely be summoned by the Five Elders to become Holy Knight."
"Becoming Holy Knight can certainly lead to becoming Celestial Dragons and gaining great power and benefits."
"But he has one very fatal flaw."
"That means they must undergo some kind of transformation, and their lives will be completely in the hands of the King of Celestial Dragons."
They would even be branded with a mark called the "Abyss," and could be forcibly teleported at any time.
"Of course, to become Holy Knight and Celestial Dragons, one might have to give up the throne of Goa Emperor and ascend to the Holy Land Mary Geoise."
Wang Shi revealed some secrets about the World Government to everyone.
Even intelligence agents like Robin, and figures like Jinbe, Jinbe the Shichibukai of the Sea, were unaware of the existence of the Holy Knights.
This shows just how high the level of secrecy the Holy Knights.
"Remodeling?"
"Your life is in their hands?"
"The King of Celestial Dragons?"
"Forced teleportation?"
Everyone gasped, as if they had overheard some incredible secret.
"That's right. Whether it's the Five Elders who hold the highest power in the world, or the Holy Knights who have the power to judge and execute Celestial Dragons, their lives are all in the hands of the King of Celestial Dragons!"
Wang Shi revealed a sinister expression, which frightened Nami and the other women so much that they huddled together and trembled.
"Do you know why Red-Haired Shanks of the Four Emperors, is missing an arm?"
Seeing the shocked crowd, Wang Shi suddenly smiled and spoke.
Everyone immediately perked up their ears, waiting for Wang Shi to reveal the answer.
"Because Red-Haired Shanks' severed arm once bore a [Abyss] mark!"
"If the Celestial Dragons wish, Red-Haired Shanks can be summoned and teleported away at any time."
"That Shanks guy, for the sake of freedom, gave up his left hand, which he was good at using for swordsmanship."
Wang Shi's expression was a bit strange. Oda, in order to fill the huge gap in the Red-Haired Shanks having his arm bitten off by the Lord of the Coast, used the [Abyss] teleportation mark to make it round.
It has to be said, it's quite reasonable.
The [Abyss] teleportation array of the Holy Knight Gunko has the effect of forced teleportation.
Forcefully summon Kirin Gorm and Saint Somaz, who is still changing clothes, to Elbaf.
"What!!!"
Why does Red-Haired Shanks have Celestial Dragons's teleportation mark on his hand?
"Was Red-Haired Shanks Holy Knight back then?"
"Your Majesty, please don't become one of those 'Holy Knight'!"
"Don't abandon the Goa Emperor to become some scumbag Celestial Dragons..."
"The World Government has so many secrets..."
···
Inside the castle, everyone erupted in excitement following Wang Shi's 'revelation'.
"Red-Haired Shanks is actually a Celestial Dragons. He was picked up by the Roger Pirates during the God Valley Incident."
"He followed Roger for over a decade, until the Roger Pirates disbanded and Roger was executed, at which point he established his own pirate crew."
"After he rose to fame, the Celestial Dragons wanted to bring Red-Haired Shanks back to the Holy Land."
"Red-Haired Shanks' father is the current commander of the Holy Knights, possessing immense strength and power second only to the Five Elders."
"Red-Haired Shanks did indeed return to Holy Land Mary Geoise once, but for his own freedom, his crewmates, and the will of Pirate King Roger, he resolutely gave up the opportunity to become Celestial Dragons."
"The [Abyss] mark on his arm was probably forcibly implanted around that time."
"Red-Haired Shanks also has a twin brother who looks exactly like him. He is one of the Holy Knight, and even the successor to the captain of the Holy Knights..."
Wang Shi looked out at the sea through the castle window, his eyes revealing a deep secret about Red-Haired Shanks.
"What!"
"Red-Haired Shanks, Four Emperors, is actually Celestial Dragons?!?!"
"He's actually the son of the commander of the Holy Knights! And he has a twin brother who's also Holy Knight!?"
"Hiss~"
"Who would have thought that Four Emperors of the Sea is actually a Celestial Dragons?"
Wang Shi's words shocked everyone once again, and they understood why Wang Shi had pretended to be injured and was unwilling to be recruited as Holy Knight by the Five Elders.
Even Red-Haired Shanks, had to lose an arm to escape the Celestial Dragons' control.
"Above the Five Elders and the Holy Knight, there is actually a King of Celestial Dragons controls everything."
Yi Xiao's expression was very solemn. He had thought that the Celestial Dragons had all degenerated into those pig-like Celestial Dragons, but he hadn't expected that the elite at the top of the Celestial Dragons would be so powerful.
Angel Robin stared at Wang Shi's retreating figure, sensing that Wang Shi must know more about the truth of history.
But he just wouldn't tell himself.
How can I get Wang Shi to tell me more of the Void Century facts?
How about we try, like Maya and Nojiko, raiding the Wang Shi night?
···
"Your Majesty, we have informed Miss Fox to spread the news that you are seriously injured and have a hidden wound to your heart."
"Your miserable state has been sent to Morgans."
Laffitte quickly finished his work.
"Very good."
"Aramaki, Yi Xiao, Spaden, from now on, my safety will be in your hands."
Wang Shi lay back down in the chair, accepting the service of Baby5 and Nojiko.
"Clear!"
"We will certainly wipe out all enemies for Your Majesty."
The three immediately replied seriously that in order to prevent Wang Shi from being summoned by the Five Elders, all future battles would be handled by the three of them.
Wang Shi should try to make as few moves as possible.
The Kirin Lion carried Capone Bege away from the waters around Kura Island and flew to a more distant sea.
Maya then released the Exile Emperor from the bottle.
The group emerged from the castle, piloting the Exile Emperor directly towards the Calm Belt, heading towards the North Blue...
