The Baron of the Goa Empire never expected that anyone would dare to attack them.
"Don't interfere!!"
Zoro looked at the big guy with great excitement, stopping Aramaki and Enel from trying to steal the kill.
He wanted to fight this guy with the big, bulky weapon one-on-one.
The battle did not last long.
After Zoro drew his third sword and entered a serious state, Gyukimaru was quickly defeated.
Gyukimaru, who had transformed into a warrior monk, wanted to escape by turning back into his original form, Komakitsune.
But he was instantly struck by Enel's lightning strike, and then taken down by Aramaki's vines.
"Oh ho! I didn't expect him to be an ability user?"
"Is it Zoan Fox-Fox Fruit ability?"
"Could this pattern indicate a special breed of fox?"
Aramaki picked up the Red-Leg, white-furred fox with the cloud-like fur, to see if it had any special abilities.
This appearance might be due to the power of Mythical Zoan.
After all, Empress Sally is now a Nine-Tailed Fox user of the Mythical Zoan.
"He's been beaten like this and he still hasn't returned to human form!"
Looking at the nearly fainting Gyukimaru, Aramaki began to tease him.
He thought that the human form he had just taken was his true form, and that the current fox form was due to his Devil Fruit powers.
"That is the true form!"
Enel had overheard Gyukimaru's mutterings and spoke disdainfully.
I thought there would be some kind of battle, but it turned out like this.
This god of his wouldn't save those ants.
"What? This is its true form? Then what is its ability? It can actually transform into a human!"
Aramaki immediately became interested and began to tease the fox.
"Monster only ate the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, and Blue Monk, which allowed him to transform from a monkey into a human."
"On Drum Island in the Grand Line, we encountered a talking reindeer. I heard it ate the most ordinary Human-Human Fruit ability."
The few Baron Goa who came to watch the spectacle weren't surprised that the fox had turned into a human.
Soon they took the Gyukimaru to see the 'omniscient and omnipotent' Wang Shi Toki.
Wang Shi never expected that he could catch a fox here.
"Zoan, Human- Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Onyudo Form"
Wang Shi directly revealed to them that this Komainu had indeed consumed the power of a rare Mythical Zoan.
And so, another prisoner was added to the Exile Emperor.
···
On several warships that turned back to the navy.
Akainu and Kizaru saw during the live stream that the Wano Country war had ended.
The Three Emperor Alliance and the Pluton Battleship have already left, so why would they go back?
Should we accompany the Goa Empire to rescue the citizens of Wano Country, a non- Affiliated Nation?
After consulting with their superiors, the warships had no choice but to leave again.
The Four Elder Stars would never allow the Navy to waste time rescuing ants from non- Affiliated Nation.
However, it's unrealistic to expect Akainu and Kizaru to hunt down the Three Emperor Alliance and destroy the Pluton Battleship.
Therefore, evacuation is the only option.
Soon after, even Morgans stopped broadcasting the Goa Empire's rescue efforts live.
This is so incredibly boring!
However, the just actions of the Goa Empire have been recognized and praised by countless non- Affiliated Nation and Affiliated Nation.
After the live News Coo were evacuated.
Wang Shi was too lazy to save anyone; he flew to find Kuzan and began his recruitment plan.
···
"I didn't expect that it would be you guys who were left behind, instead of the Navy."
Kuzan's face was extremely pale. He had truly exerted all his strength to freeze the magma in various places and buy time.
All for the sake of allowing more innocent civilians to escape.
Although he ultimately couldn't save more lives, he had a clear conscience.
After all, who could have imagined that besides Black Arm Zephyr about to detonate a giant volcano, there would also be two instances of terrifying Conqueror's Haki of island-wide scale, stunning so many people?
So many people were knocked unconscious and died in the lava meteor shower, without even a chance to escape.
"I only ask that my conscience is clear!" Wang Shi blurted out.
"How about it?"
"Should we Goa Empire?"
"In the Goa Empire, there are no Five Elders or the Holy Knights, only corrupt and evil Celestial Dragons to keep you in check."
"Look at him, smiling, he's putting his Justice of Benevolence and Righteousness into practice."
"It's time for your lazy sense of justice to be restored to a burning sense of justice!"
Wang Shi crossed his arms, flew upside down in the air, and smiled at the bewildered guy.
"Burning justice..."
"What an outdated slogan..."
"Can I leave at any time after joining?"
"If I'm not satisfied, I'll still leave."
Kuzan's expression turned serious; he too wanted to see what kind of justice the Goa Empire offered.
"If I said I wanted to overthrow the corrupt Celestial Dragons and rebuild the world order, would you dare to go crazy with me?"
Wang Shi's words instantly caused Kuzan's pupils to shrink.
However, the thought of Nico Robin on Wang Shi's ship told him that Wang Shi was not as simple as he seemed.
"Aokiji, come help me! Let's bring Akainu and the Marines over here and wipe out the Celestial Dragons together!"
"This world no longer needs these parasites!"
Wang Shi cut to the chase and Kuzan with a smile.
If Kuzan doesn't agree, then whether the exhausted old Aokiji can leave safely depends on the mood of the Wang Shi.
"You want to drag the Navy along to overthrow the Celestial Dragons?"
Kuzan admitted that his ideas were still too impoverished.
He quickly began to think, considering the possibilities.
"Can you convince Sakazuki?"
"His dissatisfaction with the Celestial Dragons is no less than yours."
"If I say no, will you kill me?"
"You guess."
···
Kuzan and Wang Shi exchanged rapid questions and answers in a relaxed tone, but beneath the surface lay a fierce intellectual clash.
"Alright, I want to see how far you can go. Even if you eventually become a new Celestial Dragons, it's still better than all those useless parasites from the nineteen Celestial Dragons families."
In the end, Kuzan accepted Wang Shi's invitation and became Imperial Admiral of the Goa Empire.
He really wanted to see how Otoko would deal with Akainu, that dung heap rock, and Wang Shi they could take on the Celestial Dragons together.
If the Navy and the Goa Empire join forces to suppress the Celestial Dragons, even if they cannot completely succeed in the end.
At the very least, it would make those Celestial Dragons restrain themselves, drastically reduce the Heavenly Tribute and abolish that evil human elimination competition.
"Why do you have so little faith in me? You're already assuming I'll become one of the new Celestial Dragons so quickly?"
"Take a good look at the Goa Empire and the East Blue; that is the future of the world!"
Wang Shi disregarded Kuzan's poor predictions, believing he could do better Imu.
His goal is the stars and the sea, unlike Imu who stays in his lair, waiting for Joy Boy to take revenge.
That old codger Imu has wasted eight hundred years of his life, and look what he's done to this world.
Furthermore, the Celestial Dragons' triennial human elimination competition is simply inhumane and unforgivable.
The Celestial Dragons, high above all others, call themselves gods and completely separate themselves from humans and other races.
They have lost their humanity.
The Celestial Dragons, having lost their humanity, are no longer worthy to be the rulers of this world.
They regard humanity and all races as ants. Wang Shi, he will sweep them into the trash can, the human emperor will ascend the throne, and the false gods will be banished!
