After two days of flight.
Amazon Lily finally flew to a remote Calm Belt sea area.
This is the sea area that Gloriosa and Shakky carefully selected.
Ironically, this location is less than a day's journey from the area where the Floating Archipelago are hidden.
After Golden Lion Shiki settled Amazon Lily, Wang Shi took Shiki and left directly for the floating Sky Island.
Pirate Empress Boa Hancock did not hesitate to leave with Wang Shi, since Amazon Lily was no longer in danger for the time being.
Gloriosa and Shakky were quite helpless and could only temporarily appoint Sandersonia and Marigold as regents.
They did not agree to the Pirate Empress's request to relinquish her Amazon Lily and her role as captain of the Kuja Pirates.
By allowing Boa Hancock to retain these two identities, Hancock can maintain a higher level of competitiveness within the Wang Shi court.
After all, having two more identities gives Wang Shi a greater sense of conquest, adds more fun, and gives Hancock more say.
You should know that the families behind Wang Shi's imperial concubines were all incredibly powerful.
Most importantly, we need to create a stronger bond between Hancock and the Amazon Lily.
To prevent Hancock, with her love-struck mind, from focusing all her attention on Wang Shi and completely forgetting about Amazon Lily and the Kuja Pirates.
All Hancock needs to do is whisper a few words in the Wang Shi's ear, and the Amazon Lily will receive substantial support from the Goa Empire.
The Baron of the Goa Empire reluctantly left Amazon Lily and returned to their airships.
The three days they spent in the Amazon Lily will be the most unforgettable three days of their lives.
He insisted on writing a "Peach Blossom Spring" upon returning home to commemorate it forever.
Rayleigh, Shakira, and countless citizens of the Amazon Lily watched the two airships depart.
"Royal sister, please call us more often!"
Sandersonia and Marigold cried out in tears; this was the first time they had been separated from their sister.
"Good!"
Boa Hancock stood on the bow of the Exile Emperor, waving her arms.
The three sisters have shared joys and sorrows for over a decade, and it's truly hard to part ways with them.
It's all that old hag Gloriosa's fault! She wouldn't allow Sandersonia and Marigold to leave with her, insisting that the two of them oversee the country.
Seeing the bond between the three sisters, Gloriosa nodded with a smile.
With these ties, Hancock will definitely think more about Amazon Lily and the Kuja Pirates.
That way, the Amazon Lily could form a secret alliance with the Goa Empire, the World's Strongest.
With the two airships gone, Gloriosa and Shakky led their people to quickly familiarize themselves with this new sea area and announced a policy of low-key seclusion.
We'll have to wait until the World Government and the Marine Headquarters abandon their plans to retaliate and destroy Amazon Lily.
They might have to wait until the Wang Shi and Imu are decided.
Otherwise, the Amazon Lily must not easily reveal its whereabouts.
Rayleigh planned to stay on Amazon Lily for a few days before heading to Twin Capes to visit his old friend Crocus and inquire about Straw Hat Luffy's voyage.
Let's see if this chosen one has entered the Grand Line yet.
···
On two rapidly flying airships.
Robin and Laffitte reported on the various intelligence gathered over the past two days.
"The Marine Headquarters has officially announced today the promotion of Momousagi Gion and Chaton Tokikake Marine Admiral."
"White Horse Cavendish, has killed three pirates with bounties exceeding 200 million Belly in the New World and has been officially invited by the World Government to Shichibukai. His bounty of 280 million Belly has been withdrawn."
"Among the Happo Navy of the Flower Kingdom, Chinjao the Drill, the weakest member, was forcibly pushed forward by the other pillars to seize the position of Shichibukai. His bounty of 542 million Belly has been withdrawn."
"Meanwhile, in the Mulberry Kingdom, it was Tokugawa Korou, the most powerful [Daimyo of Mikawa], who was forcibly suppressed by the Mulberry Kingdom shogun in alliance with other Daimyo, who stepped forward to seize the position of Shichibukai..."
"The World Government has issued its second call for the Shichibukai!"
"The promotion ceremony for Marine Admiral will be held at the Neo Marine Headquarters, New World G1 Fortress."
"Akainu Fleet Admiral is also going to hold a meeting of the Shichibukai at G1 Fortress."
"At present, Doflamingo, Gecko Moria, Weevil., Cavendish are all in the New World, while Hawkeye Mihawk is heading to the New World from the Grand Line."
Two newly appointed Shichibukai from two major pirate Affiliated Nation in the West Blue are also heading to the Calm Belt to enter the New World.
"The World Government has hired powerful individuals from its Affiliated Nation, who are now gathering at the Red Port on both sides of the Holy Land..."
"The Big Mom Pirates have landed in Wano Country and officially formed an alliance with the Beasts Pirates."
"Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, through the Dark Emperor as an intermediary, has already contacted Crocodile, seemingly wanting to cooperate with the Cross Guild to repel the World Government and Marine Headquarters' forces."
···
After spending two days cuddling with the Pirate Empress, Wang Shi finally had time to deal with these matters.
"The Three Admirals and the Shichibukai are going to gather at the Neo Marine Headquarters?"
"Sakazuki, you haven't even given this Neo Marine Headquarters, G1 Fortress, a new name yet! You're still calling it G1 Fortress!"
As Wang Shi read and listened to the intelligence, he greatly admired Akainu Sakazuki's swift and efficient work speed.
If things were handled like that of Sengoku the Buddha, it would probably take at least a year and a half to move this Marine Headquarters.
After all, moving the Marine Headquarters to the New World could lead to a combined attack from the Four Emperors, causing concern within the Marines themselves...
There are many things to consider in the Sengoku the Buddha.
Akainu, on the other hand, possessed a firm resolve and a righteous heart.
"This war will be extremely fierce; neither the World Government nor the Alliance of the Two Emperors can afford to abandon Pluton."
"Wano Country will probably be completely destroyed, right?"
"Let it be destroyed, what does it have to do with us?"
"It's a pity about the Seastone mines in Wano Country. It seems that Wano Country is the only place in the world that produces Seastone."
"It's better for us ability users than without Seastone, hehe~"
In the relaxed atmosphere among the Goa crew, the two airships quickly arrived at the Floating Archipelago.
Meanwhile, the Snail Fleet and the large amount of supplies brought by Vinsmoke Judge quickly arrived near the Floating Archipelago.
Golden Lion Shiki was in charge of transporting Germa's scientific team and a large amount of supplies to the Floating Archipelago.
The project to replicate the Pluton Battleship has officially begun.
The Pirate Empress never expected that a Floating Archipelago was hidden in this sea area; she even considered floating Amazon Lily here to live.
Wang Shi made a call to Dragon's Den Den Den Mushi.
"What! You're going to tell Shamrock about Baltigo?!"
After hearing Wang Shi's words, Dragon immediately started cursing, realizing that Wang Shi was trying to trick him!
"Calm down, calm down. Using an island to attract the World Government's attention is a good deal."
"If we could kill a few of the Holy Knight, that would be perfect!"
"Also, don't tell me you weren't prepared. I bet you've been planning to relocate headquarters for a while now, haven't you?"
Wang Shi spoke calmly, recalling how he had used Baltigo, the Momoiro Island, to threaten and warn Dragon back then.
He didn't believe that Dragon, this cunning and shrewd king, was unprepared to guard against the Wang Shi.
It's estimated that the Revolutionary Army's second headquarters was already prepared.
Dragon managed to escape safely even during a surprise attack by the Blackbeard Pirates, so he's certainly capable of doing so now that he's been on Wang Shi alert for a year or two.
