"Hehehe! Fine! I approve!"
Kaido finally waved his hand,
"However, you can take the person with you, but I want to make a copy of the experimental data and existing research results!"
Also, I'll prioritize replenishing the next batch of ' Lineage Factor ' enhanced troops!
"No problem."
Roy readily agreed; these were reasonable conditions.
"In addition,"
A fervent fighting spirit ignited in Kaido's eyes.
"Now that you've stabilized things over there, it's time for me to make my move!"
Previously, the research base held me back somewhat. Now that this constraint has been removed...
I'm going to plant the Beasts Pirates ' flag all over the seas surrounding Wano Country!
Roy understood immediately. Relocating the research base was also a form of "freeing up" for Kaido.
He no longer needed to leave a large number of elite troops to guard the research base in Wano Country as before.
They can expand their territory more freely.
"Do you need my help?" Roy asked.
Not needed for now!
Kaido's heroic spirit soared to the heavens.
" My Beasts Pirates are more than enough to deal with those small fry around us!"
You focus on managing Hachinosu well; it will be our springboard to venture deeper into the New World! Hehehehe!
Once the two reached an agreement, the operation was swiftly launched.
Roy instructed Dr. Gracia to make copies of all the technologies and give them to Kaido.
Although the doctor felt a little regretful about leaving Wano Country, which he had managed for some time,
But for those heading to a place completely controlled by Roy, where resources might be more abundant...
They can focus more on their new research territory and are full of anticipation.
A large amount of research data and experimental samples were carefully packaged and copied. After Queen took over,
Roy also moved the doctor's core research team and their families along with him.
At the same time, Kaido fulfilled his promise and provided a new batch of "test subjects" that had undergone preliminary screening.
Most of them are enemy Beasts Pirates in the New World, including some with bounties over 100 million and formidable physiques.
This provides new material for the doctoral student's subsequent research.
With everything prepared, Roy used his mental power to lift the research base up from the ground and head towards Hachinosu.
Meanwhile, the Beasts Pirates ' expansion began with Lightning speed.
Led by their three All-Stars, King, Queen, Jack, the Beasts Pirates' main fleet split into several groups.
They pounced on those countries surrounding Wano Country that had long been wavering or secretly resisting.
Or they could simply be hostile pirate forces or islands not affiliated with the World Government.
Kaido himself has transformed into a blue dragon on numerous occasions, personally descending upon the territories of some tough enemies.
To use absolute force to deter or even launch devastating attacks.
With no worries about their rear, the Beasts Pirates displayed a terrifying aggressiveness.
Their attacks were swift and brutal, often crushing the main resistance forces before the enemy could even fully react.
Faced with an overwhelming difference in strength and Kaido's terrifying personal intimidation, many island rulers or pirate crews chose to submit.
Within a month, more than ten islands of varying sizes surrounding Wano Country announced their allegiance to the Beasts Pirates and began flying the Beasts Pirates flag.
These islands either possess significant mineral resources or are located in key shipping lanes.
This greatly expanded the Beasts Pirates ' sphere of influence and resource acquisition channels.
The situation in the northern waters of the New World has suddenly become tense due to the Beasts Pirates ' rampant expansion.
Many small and medium-sized forces are living in constant fear, seeking to rely on larger backers or beginning to unite for self-protection.
The Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates have also increased their attention to the relevant waters, and sporadic skirmishes have begun to occur.
One of the sources of all this turmoil— Hachinosu —remained as stable as a rock under Roy's command.
The outer double defense system is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and the internal construction is proceeding in an orderly manner. The relocated research base has been rapidly rebuilt and put into operation in a specially designated area next to " Trial Island ".
Dr. Gracia quickly immersed himself in the new environment and new research topics.
In-depth research was initiated into the "perfect bloodline fusion" and the development of other abilities using the new test subjects.
The Roy Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, one cultivating a deep foundation, the other expanding aggressively, in different ways...
It leaves an ever-deeper mark on the map of the New World.
The two allied powers, like two rapidly brightening stars, are attracting the attention of the entire New World, and even the whole world.
The tide of the times, driven by an unstoppable inertia, surges ever ever stronger.
While Roy was managing Hachinosu and Kaido was expanding wildly,
Another immense force, whose destiny was altered by Roy, also stirred up a monstrous wave in the New World.
Admiral of the Flying Pirates, " Golden Lion " Shiki!
His challenge to Marine Headquarters ended in a crushing defeat and capture, but this did not extinguish the ambition and ferocity of this legendary pirate.
Instead, like a suppressed volcano, it yearns to erupt even more fiercely after escaping.
With Roy's help and unexpected intervention, Golden Lion did not lose his legs.
After leaving Impel Down prison, he used the power of the Float-Float Fruit...
The Golden Lion quickly located his spare ship and some of his treasure, which he had hidden in a secret location.
He didn't immediately make a grand appearance, but instead chose a secluded island.
Use the remaining treasure to purchase supplies and focus on recovering from your injuries.
About two months later, when Golden Lion Shiki felt he had recovered about 70-80% of his strength, he emerged from seclusion.
His first stop was some important islands in the first half of the New World, which were once his sphere of influence.
However, what he saw was a scene of utter devastation, like "the tree falling and the monkeys scattering."
After news of his arrest and imprisonment spread, the massive Flying Pirates quickly disintegrated.
Most of the officers and crew members either started their own crew or joined other great pirate groups (mainly Whitebeard, Big Mom, and some even boldly joined the Beasts Pirates, which were gaining momentum at the time).
Only a very small number of die-hard loyalists are still stubbornly holding out in some remote strongholds, waiting for a slim hope.
"Hahahaha!!! Good! Very good!!"
Seeing the islands that once submitted to them now flying someone else's flag,
Upon hearing his subordinates report the names and whereabouts of the traitors, the Golden Lion didn't get angry but instead laughed.
The murderous intent hidden in that laughter made the reporting pirate tremble with fear.
"I'm not dead yet! You bunch of ungrateful bastards!"
A mad light flashed in the Golden Lion's eyes.
"Since you chose betrayal, you must pay the price!!"
Having recovered most of its strength, the Golden Lion possesses terrifying destructive power.
The Float-Float Fruit grants him unparalleled mobility and battlefield control.
His powerful swordsmanship and Conqueror's Haki further solidified his position at the pinnacle of the sea.
His revenge was swift as the wind and fierce as fire.
The first to suffer were those former subordinates who had set up their own factions.
The Golden Lion, riding on floating islands or ships, descends directly over the traitors' lair.
Without any unnecessary words, he first used Conqueror's Haki to wipe out the henchmen, followed by an endless barrage of "Lion's Thousand-Cut Valley " attacks, a comprehensive assault.
Finally, he personally took action and killed the traitor leader. The entire process usually took no more than half a day.
A pirate crew that was once quite well-known in the New World was wiped out.
His methods were extremely cruel; he not only beheaded the leaders but also often destroyed the entire stronghold, hanging the heads of traitors as a warning to others.
For a time, the first half of the New World was filled with tension and fear, and all the pirate forces that had any dealings with the Flying Pirates lived in constant fear.
After purging the internal traitors, Golden Lion turned his attention to those who had served his sentence during his imprisonment.
"Outsiders" who encroached on his territory.
This mainly includes some affiliated forces under the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.
And a few naval branches and bases established in the New World.
