After the development of the Frozen Time Domain, Foxy, the tool character, became temporarily useless.
Wang Shi immediately handed him over to Spaden and Bartolomeo to take for training.
Wang Shi continued to study Ain's Return-Return Fruit ability and Bonney's Age-Age Fruit ability, hoping to develop Time Control Domain to deal with single targets.
Within the domain, the ability takes effect.
This eliminates the terrible backlash that comes with traveling through time.
If the time energy of the permanent effect of the Ripe-Ripe Fruit's power is cracked, then this Time Control Domain will become even more unsolvable.
With this good start in the Frozen Time Domain.
Wang Shi is already eager to develop other Time Domain.
Time flies like an arrow.
Two and a half weeks have passed.
Baron Goa's Haki training on the Sky Island is in full swing.
Bonney had long since had enough of Wang Shi's exploitation and was tired of using up her abilities. She didn't want to play with Wang Shi anymore, so she ran back to train with the other girls and went on adventures and play around the Sky Island.
Among the Baron who were undergoing ascetic practices.
Enel is desperately learning Armament Haki, determined to surpass these Three Dukes.
How could he, the God of Thunder, possibly be subdued by these human Duke?
However, with continuous challenges and exchanges...
Enel would call his smile the God of Gravity.
Yixiao, like Aramaki, the God of the Forest, is qualified to be called a god and be ranked alongside himself.
Anyway, he's not going to become a Duke.
Then let's bestow upon this blind man a divine title.
This is to show recognition of Yixiao's strength.
As for Spaden, Enel felt he still had a great chance to surpass this monster who started strong but ended weak.
Therefore, Enel has not yet bestowed a divine title upon Spaden.
After all, those who are defeated by themselves are not worthy of being ranked alongside them.
As for the other Baron, Enel considered them nothing more than worthless scoundrels.
They were so easily defeated that it's best not to mention them.
Zoro with the Mosshead is also frantically practicing dual-color Haki.
He also learned quite a few of his most secret sword techniques from Yixiao.
These people, who possess both great talent and unparalleled diligence, are destined to go one step ahead of others.
Enel and Zoro's progress is truly visible to the naked eye!
Silver-haired Saka felt the gap between him and Zoro widening, and once again felt the devastating impact of Zoro's talent.
Is he not hardworking enough?
No!
But he just can't keep up with Zoro's growth rate.
This setback made Saka, the swordsman, want to eat a Devil Fruit to make up for the gap in talent.
Under the tutelage of the tyrannical Haki Revolutionary Army instructor, the Viscount of Tyrant Kuma...
They all Awakening Haki, some with Observation Haki, some Awakening Armament Haki, and Awakening even Haki both.
This Haki training program has yielded remarkable results.
Meanwhile, the Ark Maxim and the Exile Emperor have been completed and upgraded thanks to the hard work of hundreds of people from both races.
That's not fast.
After all, the Straw Hat Pirates' Thousand Sunny, a medium-sized sailing ship, was built in just a few days by Franky, Iceburg, and a few other shipwrights.
As for why Enel's Ark Maxim was built so slowly before...
Because Enel, this arrogant god, would not allow the Shandia and Angel, these lowly ants, to participate in the construction of his divine vessel.
These filthy hands of ants must not be allowed to touch this supreme ark of God.
Therefore, the Ark Maxim were all built up little by little using the divine weapons that Enel brought from Birka.
···
After Wang Shi completed his ability development for the day.
An explosive piece of news has arrived from the New World.
Fire Fist Ace has been arrested!
"What's going on?!"
"What brainless thing has Fire Fist Ace done now?!"
"How could he possibly have been captured while under the protection of Whitebeard's main crew and hundreds of other pirate crews?!"
Wang Shi took the Den Den Mushi from Robin and immediately asked a question.
Why did Your Majesty say "again"?
Stussy, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, was a little confused. Had Fire Fist Ace done something reckless before?
Is it a one-on-one fight against Whitebeard? Or a major battle between Silver Island and Aramaki?
However, Stussy was too lazy to investigate this matter.
"This operation to capture the son of the Pirate King was jointly planned by Fleet Admiral Sengoku Akainu and Admiral Akainu of the Marine Headquarters, along with the CP0 Chief of Staff and three CP0 special agent teams."
"The World Government's spies first learned about the conflict between Fire Fist Ace and Squard the Maelstrom Spider."
"Akainu Admiral intervened and, after saying something, successfully turned the Squard the Maelstrom Spider against him."
"Squard secretly arranged to meet Fire Fist Ace on a small island under the pretext of reconciliation via Den Den Mushi."
"After the banquet, Fire Fist Ace left the Moby Dick alone in the middle of the night."
"Ultimately, under the combined attack of Admiral Akainu and nine CP0 agents, Fire Fist Ace only lasted two and a half minutes before being severely wounded and captured by Admiral Akainu."
"I heard this [fire-stealing operation] took a total of 25 days!"
···
Stussy quickly relayed the information he had just learned to Wang Shi.
The operation was so sudden that even Stussy had not obtained accurate intelligence.
All she knew before was that the World Government had sent many CP agents into Whitebeard's Grand Fleet.
It's estimated that the fact that Fire Fist Ace was able to leave the Moby Dick so smoothly was largely due to the efforts of these CP (couple) agents.
"This is fucking poisonous!"
Wang Shi was speechless. How come Squard the Maelstrom Spider was turned against him by Akainu again? And Fire Fist Ace fell for his trick again?
It seems this great battle is really about to begin.
However, what if the World Government immediately executed Fire Fist Ace?
Would Whitebeard still gather all his adopted sons to seek revenge for a deceased heir?
If Wang Shi were in the position of Five Elders, he would definitely have killed Fire Fist Ace.
A dead man could make Whitebeard hesitate and weigh the pros and cons...
The fear is that the World Government and the Marine Headquarters might take advantage of the situation to cause a major incident and severely damage the Whitebeard Pirates.
···
At this moment, aboard the Moby Dick.
The Squard the Maelstrom Spider was bruised and battered, with a long knife piercing through both legs and his right arm, suffering the punishment of betrayal with three cuts and six holes.
"Pops! I did nothing wrong! I did all this for everyone!!"
"If you want to kill me, I won't say a word!"
"But do you know what!"
"The World Government, the Marine Headquarters, the Beasts Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Red Hair Pirates have all reached an agreement to eliminate the rapidly expanding Whitebeard Pirates!!"
"The World Government and the Marine Headquarters will not allow you and Ace to become the Pirate King, Ace neither will the Three Pirate King!"
"If we don't hand Ace over, Pops and everyone else will die!!"
Squard knelt before Whitebeard and the other division commanders, weeping uncontrollably.
He really did save the Whitebeard Pirates!
"Who told you that the World Government and the Three Emperors are united?"
Whitebeard glared at his foolish son with exasperation, unable to believe that Linlin and Kaido would cooperate with the World Government.
Kaido would absolutely never cooperate with the World Government!
"Akainu told me himself. He has photos of Big Mom and Beast Kaido's alliance, as well as friendly photos of Red-Haired Shanks and the Five Elders working together. The whole world is against the Whitebeard Pirates!!"
"I think it's worth it to trade Ace for so many family members and comrades in the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Even if you kill me, I will have no regrets.
Squard roared, raising his neck with a resolute air of accepting his fate.
Wasn't it worth it to exchange his and Ace's lives for the lives of tens of thousands of Whitebeard Pirates?
"You idiot!!"
"Idiot!!"
