"If Shanks can save Benn Beckman and the others, then we'll find a way to ransom Shiki!"
Shakky slowly spoke, puffing on her cigarette. "The matter of Amazon Lily really can't be delayed any longer, otherwise the Amazon Lily will truly be destroyed by the World Government."
Fortunately, Shakky received the latest information that Sengoku the Buddha would be stepping down from his position as Fleet Admiral.
The Marine Headquarters is preparing for a change of Fleet Admiral.
This gave Amazon Lily a brief respite.
Once a new Fleet Admiral takes office, especially if Akainu does, Amazon Lily Fleet Admiral likely become his first target.
Even Shakky, a former pirate, felt that Akainu had a much higher chance of taking office than Aokiji and Kizaru.
After all, Akainu's record and Aokiji and Kizaru's lackluster performance in battle are obvious to all.
"Click, click~"
"The question is, will you even be able to see the Wang Shi?"
Fist Garp, ate a large mouthful of senbei (rice cracker) and began to complain.
He originally had no intention of getting involved in these pirate affairs.
However, he had previously approached Rayleigh and his group in the Sabaody Archipelago to discuss cooperation.
Now that Rayleigh is also coming to Foosha Village, Garp can't escape even if he wants to.
What angered Garp the most was that his grandson Luffy, while he was rescuing Ace, actually went to sea and became a pirate.
Even more outrageous, it was Dadan and her crew who prepared the supplies and personally escorted Luffy out to sea.
This almost drove Garp crazy.
After all, what kind of environment are pirates in right now?!
Garp is really worried that Luffy won't even be able to leave the East Blue.
They can't even find a single partner!
That's why we have the current situation where Garp brings Rayleigh and the other pirates to the Dadan Hotel for a feast.
Dadan dared not resist at all.
Although she did have a tiny bit of a thought: to go to Goa Emperor and report Dark King Rayleigh and his pirate crew.
But these legendary pirates could destroy her base in no time. Feeling the threat to her subordinates, she could only obediently entertain these bastard pirates, hoping they would leave her Dadan Hotel as soon as possible.
Under His Wang Shi's rule, the Dadan Family reformed from bandits and made a lot of money.
They really don't want to lose all of this!
"Shanks sent us a message that Wang Shi could have Shanks use Devil Fruit to redeem Benn Beckman and the others."
"We can do that too!"
Shakky and Rayleigh spoke softly, revealing that they and Gloriosa had prepared several treasured Devil Fruit to redeem Golden Lion Shiki.
"Shiki is Devil Fruit User, so how many Devil Fruit has he prepared?"
"If it were a regular Zoan or Paramecia, Wang Shi would probably scoff at it!"
After finishing a large bag of senbei, Garp immediately picked his nose and grinned as he spoke.
He knew that the Luo Ji Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates had almost no Devil Fruit users, so they must have collected quite a few Devil Fruit.
After all, it's impossible that the Roger Pirates and Four Emperors Red Hair Pirates, who have dominated the seas for decades, haven't even encountered a few Devil Fruit.
"That should satisfy Wang Shi..."
Even Shakky and Rayleigh didn't have much confidence.
After all, Wang Shi has too many Devil Fruit users under his command, and he really doesn't care about ordinary Wang Shi Devil Fruit.
"I heard that the flag of the Goa Empire has been raised on Fish-Man Island. Does your Amazon Lily have the same idea?"
"If Wang Shi is willing to protect Amazon Lily, the World Government, out of respect for Wang Shi, should not pursue the matter of the Pirate Empress refusing to be forcibly conscripted."
Garp suddenly spoke with a serious expression; in truth, he didn't think these guys had a good chance of redeeming Golden Lion Shiki.
He didn't want the peaceful Goa Empire to go to war because of this.
Garp was somewhat unhappy Wang Shi Emperor Otoko.
However, it must be said that under the Wang Shi's rule, not only were the eight provinces of the Goa Empire peaceful and stable, but even the number of pirates in the entire East Blue was decreasing sharply.
"Hancock will not agree! Moreover, the ancestral precepts and customs left behind by the Amazon Lily prevent us from submitting."
"Besides, Wang Shi is a man!"
Gloriosa sighed. If they accepted the Wang Shi's protection, could the Amazon Lily still maintain its independence?
Perhaps the entire Amazon Lily became the Wang Shi's harem.
Most importantly, Hancock is too stubborn.
"Well..."
Garp shrugged, too lazy to bother with these matters anymore.
He had already taken a lot of risks by bringing Rayleigh and the other pirates to the Dadan Tavern.
"Baron of the Goa Empire, damn it, that's impressive..."
Yasopp looked through his binoculars at Baron Goa, who was being solemnly introduced by Wang Shi, his tone tinged with envy and sourness...
If Wang Shi had appeared a decade or two earlier, he wouldn't have been tricked by Shanks into chasing the freedom of the sea.
Under Wang Shi's guidance, he could also become a heroic Baron.
At that moment, Yasopp suddenly really wanted to say a few words to Wang Shi.
Do you think I still have a chance?
'I can be patriotic too!'
···
At this moment, in front of the Goa Imperial Capital.
Standing atop the dragon's head, Wang Shi solemnly introduced the Three Dukes, three Marquess, five Earl, and numerous Viscount of the Goa Empire...
One by one, the Baron stood on the railings of the two airships, receiving the attention of millions as introduced by the Wang Shi...
At this moment, not only aloof individuals like Van Augur and Zoro, but even Enel, who considered himself a god, was stirred by the exaggerated cheers.
On this formal occasion, Wang Shi still bestowed upon Thunder God Enel, the Marquess of Thor, the title of Marquis.
So that he wouldn't seem out of place.
As for whether Enel acknowledges it or not, Wang Shi doesn't care.
Anyway, after his status as an Imperial Marquess was announced, Enel's fan base skyrocketed.
After all, this is a world that reveres strength and power.
Enel, who was Mantra filtering through eavesdroppers on the conversation, never expected that this marquisate Marquess had always looked down upon would inspire such admiration in so many people.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that, in addition to the title of god, having another human Baron title wouldn't be bad at all.
Anyway, the God of the Forest, Aramaki, also holds the title of Imperial Duke.
Enel even used his Mantra to eavesdrop on keywords like "Duke of Impalement" and "Aramaki."
It turned out that the number of people who worshipped Aramaki was hundreds of times greater than their own.
This made Enel very resentful. What did he lack compared to Aramaki? Why Aramaki so popular?
He also listened in on snooping about Yi Xiao and Spaden.
Not only are they inferior to Aramaki and Yixiao, but they're even inferior to Spaden.
This gave Enel another goal: to become the Duke of the Empire!
As a god!
How could he not even have the title of Imperial Duke!
You want to defeat an enemy with a bounty of over 1 billion Belly?!
The next time they see those high-ranking officials of the Four Emperors, they're doomed!
Enel is determined to have that Duke!
After Wang Shi finished introducing these imperial Baron, the Goa Imperial Capital was filled with waves of cheers and cheers, and countless reporters were frantically taking pictures.
These news articles and photos are probably more valuable than the news about the battle for the Four Emperors between the Whitebeard Pirates, the Ochoku Pirates, and the Cross Guild.
Finally, Wang Shi led the group of Baron and flew towards the high walls of the palace.
Empress Sally, her face flushed, rushed excitedly towards the man she had longed for day and night.
Their passionate embrace and deep gaze were captured in a classic photograph that would become world-famous, all thanks to the camera of the Flame Photography Hero's Den Den Mushi.
This scene brought tears to the eyes of Uta and the other imperial concubines...
