The oppressive atmosphere on the ship.
The Exile Emperor sailed into the port of Jaya.
"Your Majesty, shall we wipe out all the pirates on this pirate island?"
"Your Majesty, shall we plant the flag of the Goa Empire on this island?"
"This place isn't far from Alabasta, so it's perfect for becoming one of our branches."
···
Feeling depressed, the Baron suddenly felt an urge to take on the pirates on the island and vent their heavy emotions.
"Of course we'll plant the flag!"
"As for the pirates, you can handle it yourselves."
"If you see Devil Fruit User, arrest them."
Wang Shi waved his hand dismissively and gave orders directly to the eager crowd.
"Learn!"
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
Led by Aramaki, the Baron nimbly jumped onto the ship and stormed the pirate island.
"From this day forward, Jaya belongs to the Goa Empire!"
"Anyone who disagrees!"
Aramaki carried a long wooden pole with the flag of the Goa Empire hanging from it. As soon as he disembarked, he declared sovereignty over the island to the island's inhabitants and pirates.
"This is a pirate island, it doesn't belong to any country..."
A pirate who appeared to be in charge stood in the crowd and spoke loudly.
If Jaya were to fall into the hands of the Goa Empire, wouldn't their painstakingly built Mock Town Goa Empire given away for nothing?
"Noisy!"
A sharp vine shot out from the ground, piercing the pirate through the air and quickly drying him into a desiccated corpse.
"What pirate island? This will be an island of the Goa Empire from now on!"
"From now on, the rules of Goa will be the same as the rules here!"
Aramaki licked his lips, his expression filled with disdain for these weak pirates.
There isn't even a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million, yet they dare to boast here.
"To be able to submit to the Goa Empire is a blessing bestowed upon you by His Majesty!"
Viscount El Drago, with his super loudspeaker, roared at the crowd on the island, and the sound waves spread out across the island in concentric circles.
The sound was so loud that it traveled throughout the small to medium-sized island.
The shockwave shook the pirate ships in the harbor and the nearby houses.
"So strong!"
Bellamy, who had just arrived at the port, was so shocked by the exaggerated sound waves that he covered his ears.
His few weaklings, along with a large number of pirate henchmen who were just watching the spectacle, were even shocked to the point of deafness and bleeding from their ears.
Bellamy's face was filled with extreme fear; he actually wanted to witness the power of the One Emperor and Three Dukes for himself.
As a result, he suffered a great loss because of a relatively unknown Viscount of Soundwave.
Wouldn't those stronger Viscount and Earl be able to kill him instantly?
"This is way too weak! Ability users, step forward!"
Aramaki shocked to see so many weaklings who couldn't even withstand El Drago's Sound Roar Technique; they were truly useless.
If His Majesty were to unleash a burst of Conqueror's Haki, wouldn't everyone be knocked down?
"Run!"
Startled, the pirates scattered in all directions like a bomb going off, fleeing in a frenzy.
Some pirate henchmen injured by the sonic shockwaves were even pushed down or trampled to the ground by the surging pirates, resulting in a stampede.
"This is utterly useless! This kind of trash doesn't deserve to stay on this island!"
"Get rid of these useless wretches for me!"
Aramaki was quite angry, and his hands transformed into a large number of vines as he attacked the pirates.
The other Baron rushed out one by one.
They're all pirates anyway, it doesn't matter if I kill them.
"Leave your heads to me if there's a bounty on them."
Eric, the thrifty little expert, immediately shouted at the rude Bartolomeo and Burgess.
Zoro, the Three-Sword Style master, and Saka, the silver-haired swordsman, are also looking for worthy pirate swordsmen to be their opponents.
"Scimitar Sarchies, bounty 38 million Belly, specializes in the Cookery Scimitar."
"Gambler Rossio, bounty 42 million Belly..."
"Hyena Bellamy, bounty 55 million Belly, Paramecia Spring-Spring Devil Fruit User..."
···
One by one, the Viscount approached these pirates with bounties exceeding 30 million Belly, and with overwhelming speed, they suppressed dozens of pirate crews in Mock Town.
Aramaki planted the flag of the Goa Empire atop the tallest building in Mock Town, declaring the sovereignty of the Goa Empire.
···
Meanwhile, Wang Shi Exile Emperor, he had already sent mission requests to Stussy and Morgans via Den Den Mushi.
Stay informed about Momousagi Gion and Chaton Tokikake in real time.
"Bear Dad, Bear Dad, don't use Armament Haki! I want to see what you looked like when you were little."
On the deck, Bonnie smiled and activated the fruit of the year on the big bear, turning the big bear into a simple and honest little kid.
Kuma spoils Bonney so much that he lets her play as Bonney.
Even at nine years old, Kuma was still significantly taller than Bonney in her adult form.
Looking at Bonney, who could freely control her own age and the age of others, Wang Shi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
As the top-tier Time -Toki Toki no Mi, there's no reason why its abilities should be less powerful than the Age-Age Fruit's.
The Toki Toki no Mi is nominally a superior fruit to other time-related abilities such as the Age-Age Fruit, Return-Return Fruit, Ripe-Ripe Fruit, and Slow-Slow Fruit.
"Bonney, let me try out your Age-Age Fruit ability."
Wang Shi suddenly had a feeling that his Awakening abilities might be related to these abilities.
"Is Emperor Brother going to turn into a child or an old man?" Bonney asked with a smile.
"Try them all."
Wang Shi wanted to experience the power of the Age-Age Fruit to manipulate age and time.
"No problem."
Soon, Bonney turned Wang Shi into a child, and then into an old man.
"This is..."
Wang Shi sensed a completely different power of time, which made Wang Shi eyes suddenly light up.
Perhaps, it really can be developed.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity for my Awakening and enlightenment was found in Bonney.
I'm numb; I'm truly blind to my own shortcomings.
However, Wang Shi's carelessness cannot be entirely blamed on him.
Under the protection of Kuma and Wang Shi, Bonney, carefree and without a care in the world, rarely used her powers in her adult form, remaining in the form of a 9 or 10-year-old girl.
Seeing Bonney and Kuma playing together today, Wang Shi thought of researching Sui Sui's time-related abilities.
Experiencing this way of using the power of the Toki Toki no Mi, which is completely different from its original form.
Wang Shi understood.
The path to Awakening the Toki Toki no Mi's power may lie here.
It seems we need to bring Foxy and Shinobu back.
Let's 'borrow' Ain as well, and study these time-related abilities carefully.
These time-related abilities include reversible time energy and irreversible time energy.
This deserves further investigation.
Perhaps we could have a "furnace to nourish a hundred scriptures, to experience enlightenment Awakening!"
"Haha, Emperor, you look so old, your smile is really ugly."
Bonney looked at the old man Wang Shi's strange smile and burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.
Wang Shi suddenly clenched his fists, unleashing a powerful Haki like a Super Saiyan, directly dispelling Bonney's Age-Age Fruit ability and restoring her to her original form.
It seems my Haki is quite impressive, probably even stronger than Trafalgar Law in his prime.
At least he won't be like Law, who roared and unleashed Haki when expelling the Doc Q's Sick-Sick Fruit power.
"Brother Emperor, you're cheating! You promised you wouldn't use your Haki!"
Bonney pouted; she hadn't even had a chance to take a picture of the old Wang Shi.
"Then you need to work hard to develop your abilities, until even Haki can hardly break free from them."
"Look, even your bear dad can't break free from my power."
