On the giant arrow-shaped bird in the air.
"Are you really leaving like this?"
Gunko was very puzzled. This time, he hadn't even completed the task of checking if Wang Shi was injured, let alone the task of inviting Wang Shi.
Going back like this would be difficult to explain to Saint Saturn.
"The combined strength of the One Emperor and Three Dukes is formidable, comparable to the Three Admirals of the Navy!"
"The Goa Empire, the strongest Affiliated Nation, isn't some pirate force or non- Affiliated Nation. We can't push them too hard."
Shamrock spoke calmly, a glint of something sharp in his eyes.
"Perhaps before Wang Shi had developed his career, he really wanted to become Celestial Dragons."
But now, with Three Dukes, underworld influence Four Blues, and marriage alliances with several powerful Affiliated Nation, Wang Shi's power and lifestyle are not much different from those of the Celestial Dragons.
Getting him to give up the throne of the Goa Empire and his women is indeed not ideal.
We need to offer more to attract this greedy guy."
"Most importantly, today's news may have affected him."
Shamrock tossed the newspaper he'd swiped to Gunko before continuing.
In any case, he did not sense any disordered aura of injury from Wang Shi.
This greedy emperor may be waiting for the right price to go up.
Or perhaps it was truly a fear of death, and that today's newspaper article influenced Wang Shi's desire to become Celestial Dragons.
After all, Whitebeard's power was indeed immense.
Now that the identity of Fire Fist Ace, the son of the Pirate King, has been revealed, the World Government is very likely to Whitebeard Pirates.
Wang Shi probably didn't want to get involved in this mess, which is why he didn't want to become Holy Knight so quickly.
"Is Morgans trying to ignite a war between the World Government and the Whitebeard Pirates?"
"He actually dared to frame and sow discord within the Marine Headquarters, weakening the Navy's strength."
Gunko quickly finished reading the newspaper and began to understand why Wang Shi didn't want to become Holy Knight and why he asked those questions.
It turns out that this greedy and cowardly Goa Emperor was worried that if he became the Holy Knight, he would be sent to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates.
He wanted the World Government to resolve the matter of the Pirate King's son before discussing becoming Celestial Dragons or Holy Knight.
Gunko finally understood this shrewd plan.
"Wang Shi's description of internal and external troubles is a bit of an exaggeration, but after today's news, the World Government and the Marine Headquarters will indeed be in some minor trouble."
"Son of the Pirate King, Fist Garp, Admiral's Scandals..."
Shamrock raised an eyebrow; the two Admiral's problems were minor.
But since this news article clearly identifies Fire Fist Ace, the World Government has no choice but to take action.
Otherwise, where is the face and authority?
How to deal with Fist Garp, is also a big problem.
With those guys at Marine Headquarters, there's no way anyone would be willing to capture this naval hero.
Perhaps the Holy Knights will have to deal with this traitorous Marine who 'adopted the son of the Pirate King's himself.
Fist Garp's Conqueror's Haki's Haki possesses the formidable power to destroy even the most immortal.
It's fair to say that Garp is the person the Five Elders and the Holy Knights, aside from the Four Emperors and the Leader of the Revolutionary Army, least wanted to encounter.
Because such a Haki master could truly kill them.
Adhering to the principle of yielding to the fortunate, these high-ranking Celestial Dragons would never confront these powerful brutes.
Desperate measures are impossible.
I don't even want to run into them.
"Should we make a move against Garp?"
"But in that case, the Marine Headquarters will lose a powerful figure, which might even lead to infighting within the Navy and further casualties."
"It could also provoke widespread retaliation from the Leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, causing global unrest."
Gunko also realized that there was more to this news than met the eye.
Whether it's Fire Fist Ace or Fist Garp, it will trigger a series of major battles that will affect the balance and stability of the world.
Right now, Fire Fist Ace is backed by the Whitebeard Pirates, and even remnants of the Roger Pirates. The Red Hair Pirates might also get involved...
This is very troublesome!
Fist Garp is backed by the entire Navy's dove faction, and even by his son Dragon's Revolutionary Army...
These are all things we need to consider.
If the Navy's power is weakened, it will be even more difficult to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates and Fire Fist Ace.
Are we really going to send those high and mighty Five Elders and Holy Knight to fight?
"Let's go back first and see what the Five Elders and the Commander decide."
Shamrock was too lazy to think too much about it, but he had to admit that the Goa Empire was indeed a powerful force. One Emperor and Three Dukes were probably more useful than the Shichibukai.
If Wang Shi more obedient, he could have led the Three Dukes into battle and achieved a better result than the unruly Shichibukai.
This made Shamrock even more determined to bring the Wang Shi into the Holy Knights and put it under the control of his father and himself.
After that One Emperor and Three Dukes, they became henchmen for the Figarland Family.
As long as Lord Imu doesn't interfere, the Figarland Family will be able to overpower the other families.
Lord Imu only likes subordinates who can get things done and doesn't care about their power struggles.
"I'll find a place to leave Abyss magic circle, so I don't have to come by ship again next time."
Gunko piloted the giant arrow-shaped bird towards a CP branch of the Goa Empire.
As the strongest Affiliated Nation Goa Empire the Four Blues, how could the World Government not establish a CP branch to monitor this powerful nation?
After leaving a black magic circle at a CP (couple) base, the two chose to teleport directly back to the Holy Land Mary Geoise...
···
At the wedding banquet at the Goa Imperial Palace.
"Did you hear that, Van Augur? The material of your cannon is too poor; there's basically no hope of it developing any sentience. It's impossible for it to Awakening."
"Of course, I doubt a proud fellow like you could possibly be a match for a dachshund's abilities, hahaha~"
"So, for Devil Fruit weapon to Awakening, it needs to acquire a spirit. His Majesty's Seven-Star Sword Spirit is truly enviable..."
"If my sword were to become Devil Fruit weapon, I would have to choose a powerful Devil Fruit for it."
Otherwise, this Duke would never have developed a physical or mental connection with any cat-dog fruit.
···
After the two Holy Knight left, Wang Shi and the other Baron got lively again.
"Spirituality... I feel that the Sandai Kitetsu and Wado Ichimonji have already developed spirituality, but they are still far from reaching the level of forming Sword Spirit."
Zoro, the Three-Sword Style, slowly stroked the hilts of his three swords. When he subdued the Sandai Kitetsu, he indeed sensed the Sandai Kitetsu's will to choose its master.
Perhaps that is the spirit of this demonic sword.
"Having a spiritual quality is only the first condition; getting your abilities to match those of Devil Fruit is probably even more difficult."
"Can you even develop Devil Fruit abilities? So forget about Devil Fruit weapons."
The silver-haired Saka also touched his own Ryo Wazamono, Yubashiri. Although he had never discovered that Yubashiri possessed any spirituality, he believed that if he continued to accompany it, Yubashiri would surely respond to his swordsman's heart.
Moreover, pure swordsmen like him and Zoro don't care about Devil Fruit abilities at all.
Even if he ate Devil Fruit, he probably wouldn't be able to develop the appropriate Awakening form.
Moreover, the spiritual connection between a weapon and Devil Fruit ability, allowing the Devil Fruit weapon to Awakening, is practically impossible.
