Time flies like an arrow.
The year 1522 of the Sea Circle Calendar has quietly arrived.
Over the course of this year and a half.
The Holy Knights are locked in a fierce battle of wits and courage with the D Alliance and the Revolutionary Army on the Grand Line.
The Five Elders, stationed in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, engaged in a charade with Wang Shi Shixu, secretly clashing and barely maintaining a superficial balance.
The World Government's Immortal Corps and the World Alliance's Martial Merit Idol Group are each waging war against fickle Affiliated Nation in the North Blue and West Blue to secure the source of the Heavenly Tribute.
Today, only the South Blue, which is absolutely controlled by the World Government, and the East Blue, which is divided and controlled by the Goa Empire, have become the only peaceful places in the world.
The Three Emperor Alliance unified the middle and later parts of the New World, while continuing to confront the Marine Headquarters in the earlier parts.
The powerful figures from the Marine Headquarters and the Goa Empire even took the time to clean up the Underworld of Dragu Kuro, Great News Morgans.
The slave-hunting industry, organ trafficking industry, and assassination industry were eradicated...
Led by Doflamingo, the underground middleman emperor, other underground dark emperors such as the King of Usury Feld, the Shipping King Umit, and the Storage King Giberson all paid Wang Shi a hefty protection fee.
The Big News Morgans and the Queen of the Pleasure District Stussy, goes without saying.
Thus, the Underworld continued to be a gray area between the World Government, the World Alliance, and the Three Emperor Alliance.
However, most of their profits were treated as protection money and handed over to the World Alliance and the Three Emperor Alliance.
In reality, they were all working for Wang Shi alone.
···
During this period, a significant event occurred.
The Holy Knights besieged the Straw Hat Pirates, who were adventuring at sea, Red-Haired Shanks, the 'traitor,' actually dared to hold back.
As a result Red-Haired Shanks's miserable punishment by Imu from afar, coupled with Shanks's 'last words,' angered Straw Hat Luffy, who then Awakening his Conqueror's Haki.
Finally, thanks to the desperate rescue efforts of Dragon, Garp, and Rayleigh, Straw Hat Luffy managed to escape from the Holy Knights.
According to the latest intelligence.
The current Red-Haired Shanks has had his memories altered and has been forcibly transformed by Imu into his own alter ego.
Just like the previous Gunko.
Furthermore, Imu also fed Red-Haired Shanks a powerful Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit to enhance Shanks' fighting abilities.
Even though Red-Haired Shanks, now a Descendant, can no longer use Conqueror's Haki, he can still unleash the fighting power of Four Emperors through his Devil Fruit ability.
When Imu arrives, Imu will be able to use his own Conqueror's Haki and Devil Fruit abilities, as well as Shanks' Devil Fruit abilities.
It displayed a formidable fighting power far exceeding that bestowed upon Gunko!
Imu originally intended to destroy Sun God Nika, by descending upon Shanks.
However, after Straw Hat Luffy Awakening Conqueror's Haki, he immediately went into hiding again to continue his training.
From then on, in addition to becoming the Pirate King, Straw Hat Luffy had another obsession in his heart.
That is to defeat Imu and rescue Shanks, our guide!
Meanwhile, the pirate crews of Fire Fist Ace and Law would occasionally appear in the Grand Line Paradise, joining forces with the Revolutionary Army to draw the World Government's attention and strengthen their own power.
Almost all of the Revolutionary Army's senior officers are now concentrated in the Grand Line Paradise.
They outwit and outmaneuver the Holy Knights, protecting the four hopefuls of the D Alliance.
That's right, even Law, a D Clan, has now been included in Morgans's list of children of hope.
After all, the Op-Op Fruit's power itself is worth 5 billion Belly.
Luo also mingled with the Three Children of Hope, and his fame grew rapidly.
The World Government has even offered a hefty bounty of 3 billion Belly to Straw Hat Luffy and Law, two rookie thugs.
This immediately attracted countless bounty hunters and pirates.
After all, these two little guys are far too weak for the bounty to pay.
Once we win this, we'll never have to worry about food and drink again.
As Fire Fist Ace gradually mastered Conqueror's Haki, his strength underwent a qualitative change, gradually growing into Admiral- level warrior and becoming a major force in the fight against the Holy Knight.
This made both Fist Garp and Dark King Rayleigh very pleased.
The Whitebeard Pirates have finally regained their right to reclaim their position as Four Emperors of the Sea).
Fire Fist Ace's bounty also soared to 3 billion Belly.
But his strength is enough to justify the bounty, unlike Straw Hat Luffy and Law who are just bloated.
Sabo's combat power also increased rapidly, and he also possessed the strength to fight against the Holy Knight, gradually surpassing the other Army Commander.
Dragon is looking for a powerful Devil Fruit ability for Sabo to help Sabo become stronger!
It must be said that this era truly belongs to the world of young people.
The surge in these little guys' strength is truly unprecedented, insane, and unbelievable.
This left old guys like Garp and Rayleigh feeling both unfamiliar and horrified.
The whole era seemed to have entered a vibrant spring.
It's as if a golden age is dawning.
Geniuses and prodigies from all walks of life are emerging for the final battle.
Even Kid, a pirate Supernovas, Awakening Conqueror's Haki and is ambitious, aiming to seize the throne of one of the Four Emperors.
The arrogant Kid treats the entire world as his enemy, vowing to destroy the whole world!
The son of the Pirate King, Sun God Nika —they will all become his defeated foe!
However, none of the major powers took this arrogant leader of the Supernovas seriously.
Just an ignorant honey badger.
···
This is in a sea area at the edge of the New World.
An airship is flying at low altitude.
"Your Wang Shi, the east is even more delightful!"
Baccarat, the Devil Fruit User, excitedly shouted at the deep-set figure.
A huge figure on the deck suddenly had its bubble burst and fall to the ground. It choked on its drink, coughed violently, and its eyes became teary.
"Brother Wang Shi, this isn't fun at all~"
Princess Shirahoshi, with tears welling up in her eyes, looked at the Wang Shi, her lips pursed, as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment.
"Shirahoshi, it's okay, we'll protect you~"
The tiny, Princess Mansherry stood on the massive head of the Princess Shirahoshi to comfort her.
This combination of the youngest and oldest princesses made Sally, Vivi, and Reiju's eyes sparkle with admiration.
'Did we finally find it?'
' Shirahoshi truly lives up to her title as Poseidon; her luck is undeniably strong. It was worth personally going to Fish-Man Island to bring her out.'
Wang Shi's eyes flickered. He had even let Baccarat absorb his luck before, but he still couldn't find the Giant Lanternfish Bonbori.
It even caused Wang Shi to have bad luck for several days.
Now, thanks to the luck of Poseidon and his Wang Shi have finally found this Giant Lanternfish.
Poseidon's luck is probably only slightly less than that of the protagonist, Sun God Nika, the Straw Hat Luffy.
It's truly incredible that Straw Hat Luffy encountered Giant Lanternfish.
But now, Wang Shi is determined to Pure Gold inside the lanternfish!
