Several days later.
Inside a large casino on Twin Snake Island in the West Blue.
"What! The Overlord of the North Blue Germa 66's Snail Warship has appeared at the port? And a warship too?"
"Yes, that's right! There's also a luxurious large warship among them, and the flag on it looks like that of the Goa Empire from the East Blue!"
"What the hell! Why are both the Overlord of the North Blue and the Overlord of the East Blue here in the West Blue today?!"
"Look what these bastards are doing in our West Blue!"
"For the glory of the West Blue! We cannot lose face, we cannot lose dignity!"
"Let's go check out the port!"
"For the West Blue!"
"West Blue!!"
···
A large group of gangsters rushed to the port to see what these uninvited guests were up to.
The casino owner immediately called the gang, hoping that Capone Bege, the underworld godfather, would come and back them up, and have a go at this Overlord of the East Blue.
"As expected of the West Blue, a place rife with pirates, pirate ships are openly anchored in the ports of Affiliated Nation."
Aramaki snorted lightly. He remembered that this Twin Snake Island was an island under the jurisdiction of the Affiliated Nation, yet it was so chaotic, with pirates and gangsters running rampant.
In his eyes, people from non- Affiliated Nation and pirates were all inferior people without legal status, who should be trampled underfoot and were not worthy of human rights.
If this pirate ship flying a pirate flag appeared in the Taya Kingdom of the South China Sea, it would have long been a record of his achievements.
"This Sopegi Kingdom seems to be like the Flower Kingdom and the Mulberry Kingdom; it's a pirate Affiliated Nation, and even gangs are legal there."
"To be more precise, the Sopegi Kingdom should be called Affiliated Nation the underworld."
Tashigi began to explain, admitting that she herself didn't understand why the World Government accepted the Heavenly Tribute from these Pirate King kingdoms and underworld kingdoms, turning these chaotic nations into legitimate Affiliated Nation.
I've heard that naval commanders from the North Blue and West Blue are the most ferocious.
This is inextricably linked to the chaotic environment of the North Blue and the West Blue.
Both Admiral Akainu and Admiral Kizaru are from the North Blue.
Tashigi also heard from Captain Smoker that Admiral Sakazuki lost his parents at a young age and took up a knife at a young age to fight for survival and revenge, adhering to Absolute Justice.
They are extremely cold-blooded and cruel towards pirates!
Wang Shi hearing Tashigi's explanation, Wang Shi fell into deep thought.
'Perhaps it was precisely this chaotic island, where the underworld was legalized, that led Yixiao, a war criminal from a fallen nation, to choose to live in seclusion and stagnate here.'
Wang Shi was reminded of a certain country in Oda's works, where gangs were a legal activity.
"Your Majesty, more and more people are gathering around. Should we deal with them?"
Aramaki Mu stared expressionlessly at the gangsters and even some pirates who were watching the spectacle.
He really wanted to slaughter all those grinning, frivolous scum pirates.
"Your Wang Shi, those pirates' eyes are terrifying. They don't seem to be afraid of even us marines."
Tashigi was a little panicked, and her marines were even more panicked. They had suddenly gone from the peaceful East Blue to the chaotic West Blue, and their strength was simply no match for them.
In the relatively peaceful South Blue, they can rely on the banner of the navy to deter those with ill intentions.
But in the West Blue, it doesn't seem to be working.
It's like seeing Mouse that even a cat isn't afraid of; it makes you feel a little uncomfortable.
"Can we start fighting now?!"
Zoro also drew his sword, because these people were looking at them like they were prey.
He then wanted to see who the hunter was and who the prey was.
"Kill any pirates, bandits, or gangsters with bounties on their heads!"
"Anyone who dares to lay a hand on us will be killed without mercy!"
"The majesty of the Goa Empire cannot be violated!"
Wang Shi spoke coldly, his tone extremely domineering and resolute.
"I love His Haki's domineering presence."
Aramaki grinned, then he wouldn't hold back.
"Let's go to the island and find them!"
Wang Shi waved his cloak and led the way onto the island.
"Your Wang Shi, our ship..."
Tashigi pointed to the Imperial battleships, Snail Warship, and warships behind her, her tone filled with worry.
But the next moment, the three warships vanished right before her eyes.
This startled her, leaving her speechless.
"Let's go, what's the big deal?"
Nami chuckled at Tashigi and quickly caught up with the Wang Shi.
"His Wang Shi's Exile Power is truly formidable."
Tashigi quickly led her weak marines to catch up with Wang Shi and the others.
They were supposed to be the navy soldiers protecting His Wang Shi, but now they need clone soldiers and powerful warriors from the Goa Empire to protect them.
"It's vanished! My God!"
"Is this the power of the King of Exile?"
"What a loss! I was hoping to steal something from it. That warship is so luxurious; it must be incredibly wealthy!"
"Tch, steal? I'd rather just rob their ship!"
···
A loud uproar erupted from the crowd at the port, with unrestrained laughter ringing out continuously.
Sudden.
'Pfft!!'
The pirate who was just yelling about wanting to steal the ship suddenly had a sharp tree root pierce through his back.
"Uh~"
The pirate looked at the vines and roots on his chest and followed them all the way to the ground.
Why do tree roots suddenly grow from the ground?
"Save..."
The pirate's face was filled with terror, blood was constantly spilling from his mouth, and he was trying to call for help from his companions.
But the next second, to everyone's horrified gaze, he rapidly shriveled into a wrinkled, dried-up corpse.
"A ghost! Run!"
The noisy crowd suddenly erupted and scattered in all directions.
But vines sprouted from the ground, as if guided by a navigation system, piercing all the pirates into the air and turning them into dried corpses.
"That feels good! These scumbags who have no human rights should die!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Aramaki's face. Whether it was killing these pirate scum or consuming 'nutrients', it brought him pleasure.
"You look really evil right now, Aramaki."
Zoro, who was just about to make a move, sheathed his sword and, seeing Aramaki's expression, made a slightly disdainful remark.
"Zoro, please call me Baron Aramaki."
"And you too, because every call is one less."
"Perhaps in a few days, you'll have to call me Marquess of Aramaki!"
Aramaki spread his hands and smiled indifferently. Killing these inferior humans and 'cannibals' did indeed give him a great sense of satisfaction.
Previously, in order to get promoted, he had to consider his image as a police officer and suppress his cannibalistic behavior.
But now, his path to advancement is crystal clear.
Devouring these pirates is just making use of waste.
After all, if you can eat it, don't waste it.
This is also a way to clean up harmful waste for Mother Nature.
Incidentally, it will also save His Wang Shi a portion of food.
Your Majesty no longer needs to worry about my meals.
Aramaki's move instantly scared away the crowd that had gathered at the port.
Because these pierced, mummified corpses were simply too terrifying and horrifying!
Meanwhile, the bodyguard at the casino entrance smiled, listening to the discussions around him.
The Overlord of the North Blue and the Overlord of the East Blue have arrived?
Suddenly, he abruptly looked up, his ears slightly tilted outwards, his blind white pupils trembling as he 'saw' powerful figures approaching from afar.
One or two of the figures made him feel a sense of threat.
