"A very powerful Haki!"
"After all, they repelled Beast Kaido."
Fist Garp and Dark King Rayleigh couldn't resist going to watch the spectacle.
In fact, they had long disliked these slave traders and Human Auction House and shops.
However, this lawless area is frequently visited by Celestial Dragons. Although Garp himself looks down on the Celestial Dragons, he doesn't want to provoke them.
I don't want to cause trouble for Sengoku and Tsuru.
Therefore, adhering to the principle of "out of sight, out of mind," Garp rarely landed on the dark Sabaody Archipelago.
Rayleigh, on the other hand, often sells himself at Human Auction House and with noble buyers to make some money.
"Wang Shi's growth rate is extremely fast. He's the most talented monster I've ever seen, bar none."
Garp looked at the Wang Shi on the Exile Emperor from afar, his expression extremely serious and solemn.
The current Wang Shi is at least a hundred times stronger than the Wang Shi who sought his advice on Conqueror's Haki back then.
I have no idea where this monster came from.
Not only did he become king out of nowhere, but his strength also skyrocketed, and his influence expanded rapidly, attracting many top-tier experts.
"Boom!"
A violent lightning bolt appeared on Tree Island No. 11, and the exaggerated lightning pillar shocked Garp and Rayleigh once again.
"And who is this guy?"
"Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"
"How come I've never seen it before?"
"When did Wang Shi recruit another unknown powerhouse?"
The appearance of Enel, a new face, secretly alarmed the two, making them wonder just how powerful the Goa Empire had become.
The four seas' underworld organizations: the East Blue Barto Club, the South Blue Impaler Guild, the West Blue Bandits, the North Blue Underworld Alliance, plus the four seas' fleets, the Baroque Guild of the Grand Line, and the Silver Fortress of the New World...
The Goa Empire's vast organization has now grown to an absurd degree.
What's most terrifying is that Emperor Wang Shi, the king of Goa Emperor, can recruit a powerful newcomer every now and then.
Before meeting Wang Shi, powerful figures like Aramaki, Yi Xiao, and Spaden were all doing poorly.
It was Wang Shi who discovered them and gave them the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities.
"Luckily, the Goa Empire wasn't summoned to Marineford by the World Government; otherwise, even if you, old man, had helped, you wouldn't have been able to rescue Ace."
Dark King Rayleigh has already sensed top-tier powerhouses like Issho, Aramaki, Spaden, Enel, which is roughly comparable to the Roger Pirates of yesteryear.
Most importantly, he clearly saw the Wang Shi, yet he couldn't sense the Wang Shi's presence at all.
If it were anyone else, Rayleigh would have genuinely believed that Wang Shi was an ordinary king so weak as to be imperceptible.
However, given that Garp praised him and that Wang Shi had fought against the Leader of the Revolutionary Army and the Four Emperors Kaido, Toki's strength must be considerable.
Rayleigh's Observation Haki couldn't sense Wang Shi, indicating that Wang Shi's Devil Fruit ability had been developed to a very high level.
"Wang Shi has already discovered us."
Garp and Wang Shi on the distant ship made eye contact, and Garp's expression turned somewhat serious.
"His Devil Fruit ability has also spread."
Rayleigh gathered a powerful Armament Haki to guard against the strange abilities of Wang Shi.
However, Rayleigh soon discovered that the strange ability had disappeared.
"It seems he doesn't want to talk to us."
The eye contact between Garp and Wang Shi had ended, Wang Shi chose to ignore the two old men.
'Will the Wang Shi's Exile Ability be as unsolvable as Hancock's Petrification Ability?'
'Why does Wang Shi's ability feel a little familiar?'
Rayleigh secretly analyzed Wang Shi's Exile Ability, feeling as if he had seen it before.
But no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't find the answer.
"This guy did a good thing for the Sabaody Archipelago, cleaning up a cancerous tumor."
Garp didn't know why Wang Shi suddenly took action against the Lawless Zone, but it was still a good thing.
Wang Shi accomplished something that even the navy couldn't do.
I wonder if the Goa Empire will be targeted by those boar Celestial Dragons.
However, given the immense power of the Goa Empire, even the Five Elders probably wouldn't dare to do anything to them.
After all, if they were to force the Wang Shi to rebel, a massive force far exceeding the Four Emperors' pirate crews would give the World Government a huge headache.
At this time, Shakky was already gathering and updating information on Enel, the newcomer.
Where did Wang Shi find this monster who possessed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit Devil Fruit User, which had never appeared on the sea?
Even the World Government only just learned that Wang Shi had gained a powerful Rumble-Rumble Fruit Devil Fruit User under his command.
This is Logia ability that even the Holy Knight would covet.
The Five Elders' attention to Wang Shi has increased once again.
They increasingly wanted to recruit Wang Shi as Holy Knight, thereby taking over the many powerful warriors under Wang Shi's command.
The Five Elders are already discussing whether to ask Lord Imu for permission to agree to the Wang Shi's conditions and allow Nefertari Vivi to become Celestial Dragons again.
Saint Nusjuro even suggested summoning Wang Shi to Mary Geoise and having Imu Im forcibly contract Wang Shi, or even forcibly transforming Wang Shi into an obedient demon.
After discussing it, the five of them went to the Empty Throne Hall to visit Imu and ask for Imu opinion.
After a brief moment of consideration, Imu refused to allow the Nefertari clan to return to the Holy Land. Instead, he decided to follow Harald and Shanks' example by first recruiting them to the Holy Land and then forcing them into a contract.
The time was set after this war.
Imu also wanted to see this Goa Emperor who was skilled at recruiting strong individuals and expanding his power.
If Imu is satisfied, Imu would even make Wang Shi one of the Six Elders.
The Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons are indeed facing some problems, which has left Imu somewhat dissatisfied.
Recruiting Wang Shi is like adding some fresh blood to one's subordinates that fits the New Genesis.
···
Wang Shi was plundering and cleaning up the Lawless Zone of the Sabaody Archipelago, he was unaware that he had been personally watched by Imu.
However, the cowardly Wang Shi will never be able to set foot on the Holy Land Mary Geoise in his lifetime unless he fights his way there himself.
Therefore, there's no way you can force a contract or transform the Wang Shi.
When Wang Shi saw Fist Garp and Dark King Rayleigh together, he was genuinely a little shocked.
A naval hero and a legendary pirate, these two mortal enemies, have unexpectedly come together because of Roger's son.
It seems that the Marineford War will indeed see more unpredictable developments.
"Garp, without the cloak of justice weighing you down, can you truly become a free spirit who upholds 'my justice' and does as you please?"
Wang Shi smiled slightly, but unfortunately, Garp was destined to be in an awkward position.
On one side were his old friends, Sengoku and Tsuru, and on the other was his adopted grandson.
From the moment he adopted Ace, he had already fallen into the trap set by Roger, which destined him to this difficult situation today.
Garp, that old guy, was still educating Kuzan, who had defected from the Navy, on Hachinosu, saying that Kuzan was very confused and not decisive enough.
Turns out, I'm not that kind of person myself.
He himself hesitated and held back during the Marineford Paramount War.
Even Garp, who adheres to absolute self-interest, cannot truly do whatever he wants when faced with the choice between justice and family ties.
