A Super-Sweet Ship! The World Government's Conspiracy

"Hahaha! That was exhilarating!" Teach finished the battle and was now enjoying a large piece of roasted meat with a small Giant's wine cup. The giants around him looked at him with awe!

"Looks like the captain's having a great time!" Laffitte maintained his elegance at all times, only taking a quick bite of the roast meat when no one was looking.

"Honestly, you guys are having so much fun fighting, it's making my hands itchy!" Shiryu playing with his Raiu, the killing intent in his eyes growing increasingly terrifying!

"Hahaha! Isn't that guy Fakyu itching for a fight too? Why don't you, Shiryu with him?"

Burgess's words made Shiryu ponder for two seconds. After two seconds, he suddenly shivered violently, then shook his head frantically. "No! Although that guy Fakyu's strength is not to be underestimated now, and he can hold his own against me for a few moves, that guy is a Swamp-Swamp Devil Fruit User!"

"Huh? Don't you know Armament Haki? Are you afraid of a Logia Devil Fruit user?" Burgess stopped chewing and looked at his crew's number two with a puzzled expression.

"Hahaha! I never thought you'd be in this mess, Old Shiryu! See, even Old Shiryu is afraid of me!" Hearing this, Fakyu's tail practically flew to the sky! He grinned, showing off his strength to Shitt, but Shiryu's words shattered his beautiful illusions...

"It's not that I'm afraid of Devil Fruit User! I just simply don't want my Raiu to touch the mud!" Shiryu glanced at the Fakyu beside him. Surely no swordsman would want their sword to become filthy?

The air froze for a second. Teach and his friends were stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances before bursting into a laugh that seemed to come from the depths of their souls!

"Hahahaha! You're killing me! Did you hear that? Fakyu! Shiryu just thinks you're dirty!"

"Serves you right for being so cocky! Hahaha!"

Fakyu: "So, love can disappear, right...?"

Suddenly, Fakyu felt a lump in his throat as he recalled the wonderful times he had spent with Shiryu! Ah! When Shiryu first boarded the ship, he was rather aloof and never wanted to have any intimate interactions with his companions! In the end, it was Fakyu bravely risked his life to secretly take away Shiryu's Raiu! (In a speech-like tone)

Although Fakyu only wanted to admire the famous Famous Sword, he told a huge lie to facilitate a closer encounter with his companions! He claimed he was going to secretly sell the sword! To make the whole thing perfect, he even found a buyer, who had already paid him 10 million Beli!

Finally, Shiryu and Fakyu had a passionate fist-to-face encounter! Although Fakyu had considered resisting, he thought about it and, for the sake of the close relationship between their comrades, gritted his teeth and bravely met Shiryu's high enthusiasm!

This time, Fakyu stayed in bed for a whole week!

After that, Fakyu frequently had close contact with Shiryu! Don't ask why, if you really need an answer, it's because he saw Shiryu's pink bath towel! It's because Shiryu's cigars smell really good! It's because Shiryu's little treasure trove smells really good!

Alright, I'll ship this couple first!

"Old Shiryu, how could you say such cold words!" Fakyu wailed and collapsed onto Shiryu's body.

"For the sake of us being partners, you can lean on my shoulder! But if you wipe your snot and tears on my clothes like last time, I'll tie you to a kite and send you flying!"

Shiryu:ヽ(￣￣)/

Fakyu:(°ω°)

Finally, the remaining two spots in the Warrior Village were given to two strong warriors. However, the powerful Gusel did not get a spot! Firstly, each person only has one chance to challenge. Secondly, his injuries are not to be underestimated for a warrior. If not treated properly, they could have a huge impact on his strength.

After all, he's not that old pervert Red-Haired!

The Giant's Grand Gladiatorial Tournament will begin in two days, so they will rest for one night and set off tomorrow!

Meanwhile, Marine HQ

"What? Are you sure you want to do this?! Have you thought about the terrible consequences this will bring?!" Fleet Admiral Sakazuki of the Marine HQ roared into the other end of the phone while holding Den Den Mushi.

"Sakazuki, get your identity straight! When did it become your place to question our decisions?! Your Navy just needs to do as we say! Where do all these questions come from!" On the other end of the phone were the Five Elders, the power center of the World Government, who were furious at Akainu's questioning!

"We've already Whitebeard Pirates. On top of that, are we going to offend an Emperor? Every conflict with an Emperor-level figure results in a staggering number of elite soldiers lost! Are we really indifferent to such consequences?" Although Sakazuki upholds Absolute Justice, he is now the Fleet Admiral of the Marine HQ. He cannot allow his soldiers to sacrifice themselves in vain!

"Soldiers? You don't need to worry about that! It won't be long before the Navy's total strength sees a significant increase! And what you need to do now is to do as we ask!" The other end of the Den Den Mushi was clearly getting impatient. Sakazuki opened his mouth, about to say something, but the Den Den Mushi's closed eyes only fueled his anger!

"A bunch of bastards!" Although being hung up on by the Den Den Mushi made him furious, what bothered him most was the feeling of being treated like a slave! As an extremely ambitious man, Sakazuki naturally wanted to make the Navy better, but ideals are lofty while reality is cruel!

"Someone! Bring Admiral Kizaru and Admiral Fujitora here!" Sakazuki rubbed his head, reluctantly but he still had to do as he was told!

"Fleet Admiral of the Marine HQ..." Sakazuki closed his eyes, two extreme emotions clashing within him: his true self and the constraints imposed by the uniform!

"Hey, Fleet Admiral Sakazuki! What do you want?" A cheeky voice interrupted Sakazuki's thoughts. He opened his eyes, and his expression turned serious again.

"You're both here! Please have a seat! I have a very important task for you!"

Sakazuki's words startled the two men. A mission requiring two Admiral to work together? Perhaps only...

"Let's defeat Kaido!"
