On Water 7, not far from Enies Lobby.

Two airships floated above this world's premier shipbuilding island.

Countless shipyards wanted to acquire the technology for airships.

Some CP agents immediately relayed the message back to the World Government.

Saint Saturn, in this [Scientific Defense War God], immediately called Wang Shi to inquire about the airship.

However, Wang Shi's words, "the effect of the Press-Press Fruit's power," effectively shut down Saint Saturn.

With war imminent, Saint Saturn, not wanting to fall out with the Wang Shi, decided not to pursue the matter further.

Saint Saturn spoke again, proposing to hire the Goa Empire as mercenaries.

The World Government is willing to pay 20 billion Belly to hire One Emperor and Three Dukes to defend Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.

Two hundred billion Belly is roughly equivalent to four Four Emperors, which is the World Government's recognition of the strength of the One Emperor and Three Dukes.

But Wang Shi refused again.

He expressed his unwillingness to get involved in such a dangerous large-scale war.

However, Wang Shi offered to help protect the Sabaody Archipelago, Enies Lobby, and Impel Down.

But we'll still take the money!

Wang Shi's unexpected reply surprised Saint Saturn, but also brought him a little joy.

Saint Saturn readily agreed to pay the employment fee, entrusting the Goa Empire with the defense of the Sabaody Archipelago, Enies Lobby, and Impel Down —three important locations.

With the Goa Empire's assistance in defense, the World Government and Marine Headquarters can reduce the number of high-level combat forces in these three locations and focus all their efforts on dealing with the Whitebeard Pirates.

If the Revolutionary Army really dares to invade Impel Down, it wouldn't be bad to have the One Emperor and Three Dukes confront the Revolutionary Army.

It's just a mere 20 billion Belly.

Saint Saturn felt it was well worth it.

Wang Shi was also smiling; he had made the money, but he still had to get on with his business.

At worst, I'll fight Dragon, the Leader of the Revolutionary Army, for thirty thousand rounds!

Both parties were very satisfied with this employment partnership.

With the World Government now having a powerful force to defend it, Wang Shi can openly intervene in Impel Down's affairs.

···

On the deck of the Exile Emperor.

"I am a CP9 agent of the World Government, currently on a secret mission. Please release me immediately, Your Wang Shi."

Blueno lay helplessly on the deck, his hands cuffed behind his back with Seastone Handcuffs.

Faced with the terrifying Baron Goa, he had no choice but to honestly reveal his identity to avoid being mistaken for a pirate and eliminated.

He was originally in his own bar, carrying out his undercover mission day after day.

But today, Duke of Impalement Aramaki suddenly appeared and instantly tied him up and brought him back.

They didn't even have a chance to escape.

He's still completely bewildered.

"Don't worry, we'll put you back soon."

After Wang Shi had Laffitte extract the guy's blood, he directly controlled him with the Seven-Star Sword Spirit.

With the Wang Shi's Conqueror's Haki's Haki and the Seven-Star Sword Spirit at the helm, without considerable strength, one truly cannot resist the Seven-Star Sword Spirit's bizarre ability to manipulate people's minds.

Soon, a red glint flashed in Blueno's eyes.

With the Seastone Handcuffs removed, Blueno, holding the Den Den Mushi given to him by Wang Shi, used his Door-Door Fruit powers to leave the Exile Emperor.

Before long, Aramaki, this hardworking and conscientious model worker, brought back another guy.

This is none other than Franky, who is in charge of the Pluton Blueprints!

Wang Shi directly snatched the Pluton Blueprints from the guy's mechanical body.

They also influenced him with the Seven-Star Sword Spirit.

"Would you like to modify a warship into the World's Strongest?"

"My Exile Emperor now possesses aerial technology, diving technology, and Seastone technology..."

Wang Shi wanted to recruit this steelworker to modify the Pluton components and continue upgrading the Exile Emperor.

Under Wang Shi's manipulation and seduction, Franky finally agreed to modify the Exile Emperor for Wang Shi and temporarily boarded Wang Shi's ship.

After sending Franky back to his shipbreaking yard to explain things, the shipwright joined Wang Shi's team.

···

"These are actually the Pluton Blueprints?"

Reiju was utterly shocked that something so legendary was actually appearing so openly before her eyes.

"I can't understand it at all, it's Ancient Script."

Bonney climbed onto Wang Shi's shoulder with the agility of a monkey, quickly flipped through a few pages, and soon lost interest.

"I knew His Majesty wouldn't send me to capture these weaklings for no reason."

Model worker Aramaki's eyes lit up; this was one of the Three Ancient Weapons.

Although it's just a design drawing, it's still a long way from being manufactured.

"I knew His Majesty's prophetic abilities were all-knowing..."

Van Augur murmured to himself, slung his sniper rifle over his shoulder, and Capone Bege and Laffitte standing beside him agreed wholeheartedly.

At this rate of development, it's not impossible for the Goa Empire to become the overlord of the Four Blues, the World's Strongest, and even replace the World Government to become the new world ruler.

"Ancient Weapon? Are they powerful? Are they as powerful as my Ark Maxim?"

Enel, biting into an apple, asked dismissively.

He disdained such trivial matters as arresting people.

"Legend has it that Ancient Weapon could destroy an entire island with a single strike!"

Angel Robin stared intently at the Ancient Script version of the Pluton Blueprints in Wang Shi's hand.

"Tch, with my Ark Maxim combined with my Thor's power, I can still destroy an island in one strike."

Enel immediately lost interest; if Ancient Weapon could do that, he could do it too.

Wang Shi handed over the Pluton Blueprints to Robin, since she was the only one here who could translate Ancient Script.

"It's about time to visit the Sabaody Archipelago."

Wang Shi ordered them to leave, not even bothering with CP9 agents like Rob Lucci; controlling Blueno was enough.

Kalifa and Kaku are not Devil Fruit users at the moment, Lucci, a common type with the Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Leopard, is not of any interest to Wang Shi.

Now that he has Saint Saturn as a mercenary partner, Wang Shi can roam freely in this sea area.

"Your Majesty, I've heard that Fist Garp and Dark King Rayleigh are both in the Sabaody Archipelago. Why don't we go and have some fun with them?"

Aramaki gave a smug smile that seemed to invite a beating, as if he was itching to get his hands dirty.

"They're not our opponents. If you want to fight, how about we send you to the New World to deal with the Red Hair Pirates?"

Wang Shi wasn't interested in these two old men who weren't superhumans, especially since they were still incredibly strong.

If Shinuchi breaks out, they might even be able to sink the Sabaody Archipelago.

Now he is in charge of security in three areas, and his focus should be on Impel Down, and getting a good 'battle' with the Revolutionary Army.

Blow through this supposedly impregnable Impel Down!

"Forget it, I don't want to go to the New World. I want to see the war in Marineford."

Aramaki could only put aside his fighting thoughts and wait for Wang Shi to arrange the action.

If I could drain the lifeblood of tens of thousands of elite pirates and marines on the battlefield of Marineford, I would be rich.

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of fighting."

Wang Shi stroked the increasingly spiritual Vampire Bat, still hoping to Awakening the Vampire Morpher during this war.

Whether it's the marines and pirates on the battlefield of Marineford or the prisoners in Impel Down, we have as much blood as you want!

Let the Vampire Morpher Awakening its powers!
