Inside Gothic Castle.
Capone Bege was still pondering the purpose of the Wang Shi and his group.
Not long after those henchmen left, they heard shouts outside.
What did he hear?
Transport Captain?
A gift?
Damn it!
He, Capone Bege, is the uncrowned king of the West Blue underworld, having dominated the West Blue criminal world for many years.
This damned emperor from the East Blue actually wants to make him a transport captain! It's absolutely intolerable!
Meanwhile, the Gang Bege's Vito and the Gotti, seeing the Godfather's darkened face and his clenched teeth, almost bit off their cigars.
They knew Capone Bege was angry.
It seems we have no choice but to fight those bastards from the Goa Empire this time!
"Grab your weapons and kill him!"
Capone Bege pulled a new machine gun from the castle inside her body and charged out with furious eyes.
He was determined to kill the man who had shouted so loudly.
Also, why didn't the gatekeeper stop this bastard?
When Capone Bege and his two companions reached the main gate, they saw their underlings holding guns, sweating profusely as they stared at the arrogant man hovering in the sky.
Capone Bege stared at the aviator wearing sunglasses, her expression one of utter horror, as if she were facing a ferocious beast.
No wonder these subordinates dared not make any rash moves.
"Capone Bege! It's you!"
Looking at Capone Bege, an old fat man who was only 166 centimeters tall, Aramaki held the photo and felt a sense of disappointment that the person he met in person did not live up to the expectations.
This photo clearly makes Capone Bege look even more Haki.
"You bastard! What kind of look is that?!"
Capone Bege hates being looked at like that. Is it a crime to be short?
I'm less than 1.7 meters tall, but I can still dominate the West Blue underworld!
"Open fire! Kill him!"
Capone Bege, who was used to being domineering in the West Blue, couldn't stand Aramaki's gaze and spoke up angrily.
Who cares about being the Overlord of the East Blue!
He's furious; he wants to kill someone!
They would not hesitate to go to war with the Goa Empire.
At worst, we can just give up Nostra Island.
The West Blue is vast; he could seize an island at any time to rebuild his base.
He simply didn't believe that the Goa Empire of the East Blue could stay in the West Blue forever.
"Boom boom boom!!"
"Bang bang bang!!"
At Capone Bege's command, all his henchmen opened fire without hesitation, including the Gang Bege's Vito and the Gotti, who were firing rapidly.
In an instant, the Aramaki flying in the air were completely engulfed by the smoke of gunpowder.
"Is he dead?"
"So what if you can fly! You still got blasted to pieces by my firepower!"
"Firepower is the only truth!"
Capone Bege took the cigar from her mouth with her right hand, exhaled a deep puff of smoke, and revealed a smug smile.
Perhaps we could also deal with that King of Exile remotely; that would definitely be a good method.
"This Baron hates being shot at with guns."
"It seems you've refused His Majesty's summons!"
"Then don't blame me for taking action."
A cold voice suddenly rang out amidst the smoke and fire.
Then, countless vines descended from the sky, seemingly obscuring the heavens, and swiftly pierced through the hundreds of gang members in black suits.
In Capone Bege's horrified gaze, all his elite men turned into withered old men amidst cries of Despair.
A figure plummeted through the air and landed heavily in front of Capone Bege and her two companions.
Standing over three meters tall, Aramaki exuded an intimidating aura in front of Capone Bege, instantly causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
Even the Gang Bege's Vito and the Gotti trembled.
It has a distinct feel to it being a secondary version of the scene where 'Beast Kaido appears in front of Kid, Hawkins, and Apoo'.
"You're still alive!!"
Capone Bege's eyes were filled with horror; this enemy was actually that strong?
But Capone Bege would never submit to anyone!
"Your Wang Shi! You've arrived!"
The cunning Capone Bege suddenly shouted behind Aramaki.
Aramaki frowned. His Observation Haki clearly didn't sense Wang Shi's arrival, but out of respect and loyalty to Wang Shi, he still turned his head to look back.
"You've made a mistake, die!"
Capone Bege saw that Aramaki, her eyes turned ruthless, and she opened fire fiercely with her new machine, riddling Aramaki's head with bullets.
"They really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!"
Despite his head being riddled with bullets, Aramaki continued to speak with half his mouth open, his tone extremely displeased.
If Capone Bege hadn't been the transport captain appointed by the Wang Shi, he would have really wanted to kill this short, fat guy.
"What!!"
Capone Bege and the other two stared wide-eyed as a terrifying thought crossed their minds.
This is actually a powerful Logia user.
"Let me help you lose weight, you fat old man!"
As he quickly recovered, Aramaki his five fingers, and five vines shot towards Capone Bege and the other two at lightning speed.
'Castle-Castle, Stone Skin!'
"Vito, Gotti, come in quickly!"
Capone Bege's body instantly transformed into skin like a city wall, appearing incredibly strong and hard.
At that moment, Capone Bege only wanted to escape, and even her feet turned into tank treads.
He couldn't possibly defeat a Logia Fruit user now.
I should have tried to buy some Seastone weapons and bullets.
Vito and Gotti, who had followed Capone Bege for many years, hurriedly entered their boss's inner castle.
But they clearly underestimated the strength of the Aramaki.
'Pfft!'
Capone Bege's hard, stone-like skin, as easily as tofu, was instantly pierced by three black vine tips. His short, stout body shrank, and his suit became loose and ill-fitting.
Even Vito and Gotti, who had shrunk in mid-air, were suddenly pierced through by two vines, returning to their original size in mid-air, their bodies rapidly shriveling up.
"Is firepower the ultimate truth?"
"Given a weakness?"
"You fat bastard, you're really arrogant, conceited, and cunning."
Aramaki the vines in his hand to Killer, who had been pierced, towards him, and gently patted Capone Bege's slimmer face with his other hand, his tone full of disdain.
"How could this be..."
Capone Bege's eyes were filled with disbelief, knowing that his Castle-Castle Skin was impenetrable even to guns and cannons.
Now it's been pierced by several tree roots.
"If you don't want the chance to be the head of the transport team, then you can be His Majesty's slave from now on."
Aramaki abandoned his henchmen, Vito and Gotti, took off Capone Bege's hat and threw it out, looking even more arrogant and smug than Capone Bege had been.
Aramaki could easily defeat even a fully-fledged Weevil., let alone Capone Bege who hadn't even set sail yet.
"Godfather..."
Weak and emaciated, Vito and Gotti watched in Despair as their leader Capone Bege was humiliated.
On the other side.
Wang Shi and his group, who were warmly welcomed by a gang of thugs, slowed down their pace considerably.
But Wang Shi didn't want to waste time, so he used Conqueror's Haki to stun the minions and continued forward.
A short while later, Yixiao reported to Wang Shi that a battle had broken out on Aramaki's side.
It seems that Aramaki has already secured Capone Bege.
"That guy Aramaki absolutely mustn't kill those gang members; I still want to subdue the gangs in the West Blue."
Wang Shi and his group quickened their pace.
Before long, they arrived at the Gothic Castle, the bandit's headquarters.
"Your Majesty, you have finally arrived!"
"Not only did this guy refuse His Majesty's summons, he also dared to attack me."
"I've already taken it down."
Aramaki casually tossed the disheveled, emaciated Capone Bege in front of Wang Shi.
Now that we've dealt with Capone Bege, we can head straight to the battlefields of the Flower Kingdom and the Mulberry Kingdom.
This filled Aramaki with anticipation.
