Encountering Zephyr and Kuzan One After Another
The General's Mansion in the City of Flower Capital.
After extensive destruction and searching, Wang Shi found the underground passage located in the General's Mansion.
Wang Shi quickly located the Road Poneglyph from Wano Country and brought it back to the Exile Emperor.
However, just as Wang Shi and his group were leaving the Flower Capital.
They actually discovered Black Arm Zephyr and his group coming down the mountain.
Black Arm Zephyr also didn't expect that people from the Goa Empire were in Wano Country.
"Your Wang Shi, I suggest you leave Wano Country as soon as possible!"
Before Black Arm Zephyr could speak, Ain immediately spoke up, a hint of nervousness on her face.
Black Arm Zephyr, wearing sunglasses, glanced back at his student Ain, with indifference.
"Your Wang Shi, Wano Country is in great danger right now. I suggest you leave."
"This is a friendly suggestion from our collaborators."
"I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future."
Black Arm Zephyr spoke seriously, then led his students and new Marines to continue their journey downwards.
It was as if there was something dangerous up there.
Watching Zephyr and the others leave, Wang Shi's expression changed slightly, and he quickly realized a possibility.
Damn it!
Is that old bastard Black Arm Zephyr about to detonate this Mount Fuji volcano?
After all, this crazy old man had an astonishing plan to blow up the three largest active volcanoes in the New World, completely destroying New World.
It wouldn't be surprising if they wanted to blow up Mount Fuji now.
Wang Shi frowned. Zephyr's move was indeed an unexpected event that Wang Shi had not anticipated.
This old man is crazy!
Besides pirates, Zephyr even targets the combined forces of the Marine Headquarters and the World Government?
Wang Shi's eyes were serious, and his face darkened as he glanced at the top of Mount Fuji Volcano.
Should we fly there immediately to dismantle Black Arm Zephyr's Dyna Stones?
But he didn't want to become the savior of Wano Country!
And who knows when Zephyr will detonate these Dyna Stones? If it explodes after he's only partially dismantled it, he'll be doomed.
Wang Shi had no idea how powerful the eruption of Mount Fuji was.
Or maybe we should inform the Blackbeard Pirates and the Cross Guild so they can make a quick getaway.
To be honest, Wang Shi was somewhat reluctant to see the Seastone mine destroyed.
As for Wano Country, let it be as it is.
···
"Your Majesty, what has happened?"
Seeing that Wang Shi's expression was a bit unpleasant, Yi Xiao and the others immediately asked him what was wrong.
Wang Shi glanced at Yi Xiao and considered whether to tell this almost certain 'guess' to the kind-hearted Yi Xiao.
Then another figure appeared on the other side.
The chilling aura made Wang Shi raise an eyebrow.
What are these two, master and apprentice, playing? One is planting landmines, and the other is defusing them?
"It's former Marine Admiral Kuzan!!"
Robin recognized this enemy and benefactor immediately.
"I didn't expect Aokiji to come to Wano Country too. Who is he here to help?"
Reiju narrowed her eyes slightly; Aokiji hadn't actually joined forces with Black Arm Zephyr.
Moreover, one of them was going down the mountain while the other was going up.
Did they have some kind of conflict?
As the Empress of the Goa Empire, Reiju felt she could recruit this powerful Admiral who had no allegiance to any faction for the empire.
She glanced briefly at Queen Sally, and the other princesses Vivi, Baby5, Uta, and Hancock.
These women clearly lacked her royal awareness and keen sense of power.
"Your Majesty, perhaps our Goa Empire could gain another Admiral Aokiji."
Reiju whispered in Wang Shi's ear, her eyes filled with trust in the man.
She believed that all she needed to do was remind Wang Shi, and Wang Shi would be able to handle these powerful individuals.
Perhaps he didn't even need to remind him; maybe Kuzan were originally Wang Shi's target.
After all, the Imperial Duke like Aramaki, Yi Xiao, Spaden were all monstrous powerhouses that Wang Shi had brought back.
Moreover, not long ago, Wang Shi captured two ability users and found a piece of Road Poneglyph.
Reiju felt that Wang Shi's trip to Wano Country was actually for "buying goods".
Kuzan is likely to be one of the items they'll be stocking.
Unbeknownst to Wang Shi, Reiju had already conjured up a whole host of 'truths' in her mind.
But he really didn't expect to encounter Kuzan in Wano Country.
···
"Oh my god, what are you doing here, Your Wang Shi? Shouldn't you all be out fighting?"
Kuzan was also taken aback when he saw the Goa Empire's Exile Emperor.
The battle below is currently raging fiercely.
The Goa Empire, as the strongest external ally, has actually appeared above Wano Country.
He still thought that Wang Shi and his powerful warriors had not yet arrived at the battlefield.
This caused Kuzan to look at Wang Shi with a strange expression.
It seems that there are indeed some problems between Wang Shi and the World Government.
Could it be that the death of Saint Charlos caused a rift between the Goa Empire and the World Government?
Or is Wang Shi plotting something?
Or perhaps they are taking advantage of the situation to seize profits.
"The World Government didn't give me a single penny in this war. Whether I participate or not depends entirely on my mood."
"Garp once said that the most important thing in life is to be free and do whatever you want."
"As for Admiral Aokiji, I wonder why he's here?"
Wang Shi asked the question knowingly, knowing that Aokiji was probably trying to stop Black Arm Zephyr's destructive plan.
This confused guy still cares more about the lives of ordinary people.
"Do whatever you want? Be free and unrestrained?"
"Do whatever you want..."
Kuzan softly, a hint of determination appearing in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, please don't call me Admiral Aokiji anymore. I have already retired from the Navy."
"I came here simply to do what I want to do."
Kuzan sighed softly. He was indeed very confused and disoriented when he left Black Arm Zephyr's ship.
But in the end, he followed his heart and came to Wano Country.
If you can stop Professor Zephyr, then please do so.
If we can't stop it, then we should try to save as many people as possible.
Just like back in Ohara, when they let the surviving Nicole Robin go.
I'm clinging to the last shred of conscience, as a small consolation.
At least I saved someone and made some effort.
"If you're willing, you'll be Admiral Aokiji of the Goa Empire."
"Kuzan, be resolute and follow your heart."
"Anyway, you don't have anyone watching you now."
"By the way, I'll leave the work upstairs to you."
"Old man Zephyr is indeed becoming a bit radical and stubborn these days..."
Wang Shi simply handed the Mount Fuji matter over to Aokiji, telling him to stop it if he could.
If they can't stop it, Wang Shi can simply let the Blackbeard Pirates and the Cross Guild protect themselves first.
"Good!"
Aokiji spoke slowly, his purpose being to stop this disaster.
Even if Professor Zephyr has already detonated the volcano, he will do his best to prevent the lava from erupting so that more people can survive.
"Your Wang Shi, you won't become Celestial Dragons, will you?"
As Aokiji continued climbing the mountain, he suddenly asked a question to Wang Shi was at the bow of the ship.
But the next moment, he actually saw Nicole Robin.
This Child of the Devil actually appeared openly on the Wang Shi's ship.
This shocked Aokiji even more.
This guy, Wang Shi, has already arrived in Wano Country, but he's not participating in the war and is even harboring Nico Robin.
This situation is not simple.
"No, the peace and prosperity of the Goa Empire and the East Blue are the future of the world."
"Let's grab a few drinks sometime after this war."
"Our Goa Empire's wine is the best in the world!"
"Our Goa Empire's limb reattachment technology is the best in the world."
Seeing the surprised look in Kuzan's eyes, Wang Shi smiled slightly and spoke softly.
"..."
"Good!"
Kuzan had too many questions to ask, but in the end he continued on to Mount Fuji, as time was of the essence.
Let's leave those questions for our next meeting.
