Chapter 193: Landing on Namakura Island
With Kael's guidance, Issho's grave expression and Spartan's inner shadow were greatly dispelled. The strong individuals on their ship could indeed fight Kaido of the Beasts. In the dark of night, the Exile Emperor sailed through remote waters, heading towards the latter half of the New World.
Desire and Maya, having gained Devil Fruit abilities, were like children with new toys, constantly experimenting and developing various moves and powers. Inside several bottles crafted by Maya, warships were contained. These were all warships of the Silver Alliance. These bottled ships held warships laden with silver, and others were full of ore. This was to create favorable conditions for Desire and Bill.
Desire was now essentially using Gold Emperor Tesoro as a template to develop her Silver-Silver Fruit abilities. If Tesoro sprinkled gold dust, then Desire would sprinkle silver dust; if Tesoro had a Golden Giant, Desire would develop a Silver Giant. She would imitate him first, until her Devil Fruit awakened.
Kael was also teaching Desire how to develop her Silver-Silver Fruit. Through various manipulations and transformations, she was like a T-1000 Terminator, changing into all sorts of blades, spears, and halberds. This continued until Desire developed a silver clone.
Donquixote Doflamingo, a Paramecia String-String Fruit user, had string clones. Prince Grus of SWORD, a Paramecia Clay-Clay Fruit user, had clay dolls. Cracker, a Paramecia Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit user, had biscuit soldiers. Even Kizaru, a Logia ability user, had developed light clones. The Silver-Silver Fruit could not necessarily be unable to develop clones. It all comes back to the same point: for Paramecia users developing their abilities, it's all about their creativity and ideas.
A few days later, the war where the Goa Empire occupied Silver Island in the New World had gradually subsided. Since the Whitebeard Pirates, a Four Emperors crew who suffered a great loss, did not retaliate, the forces of the entire New World generally acknowledged Kael's successful establishment of a base in the New World.
Kaido of the Beasts had also shown no intention of standing up for Jack. It was said that after Jack returned to Onigashima, he was mocked by Who's-Who, who even wanted to challenge Jack and seize the title of one of the Three Disasters. The siblings Ulti and Page One, who had previously obtained two Dragon-Dragon Fruits, were also a factor. After their father was taken advantage of and killed by his enemies, they worked even harder to cultivate themselves to survive in the brutal Beasts Pirates. They hated the despicable pirates who had killed their father, and even more, they hated Fire Fist Ace, who had defeated and severely wounded their father.
Ulti, 19 years old this year, and Page One, 17 years old, had already established themselves in the Beasts Pirates by virtue of their Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Pachycephalosaurus and Spinosaurus abilities. They were even preparing to challenge for a Tobi Roppo position. In the Beasts Pirates, strength reigns supreme. Headliners could challenge the Tobi Roppo and take their place. The Tobi Roppo also had the right to challenge the Three Disasters and become one of the Grand Commanders.
Jack's incompetent battle on Silver Island this time gave Who's-Who an opportunity to challenge him. Ulti and Page One also seized this chaotic and lively opportunity to challenge the two weakest Tobi Roppo with the lowest bounties. Thus, a major internal battle for status and cadre titles erupted within the Beasts Pirates, leaving them no time to pay attention to Silver Island and the Goa Empire.
In this tumultuous internal positioning battle, Who's-Who still couldn't defeat Jack and failed to advance. Instead, the two young ones, Ulti and Page One, successfully defeated their opponents, advanced to the Tobi Roppo, became high-ranking cadres, and their status greatly increased. No one ever brought up the joke about their unfortunate father again. These two newly appointed Tobi Roppo also began their journey of revenge. They vowed to eliminate the despicable pirates who killed their father and to defeat that bastard, Fire Fist Ace. To defeat Fire Fist Ace, a super rookie of the same age, Ulti was diligently training her Armament Haki, specifically to deal with this Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit user.
A few days later, the Exile Emperor quietly appeared in the latter part of the New World, entering the waters of Namakura Island.
"Seven Stars, transform into a dragon."
At Kael's command, the Seven Star Dragon Emperor Sword transformed into a medium-sized divine dragon that could be ridden.
"Those who cannot fly, enter Bege's castle first." "Maya, put away the Exile Emperor." "Kirin Lion, you carry Bege for a bit."
Because the Seven Star Sword Spirit did not allow anyone other than Kael to ride it, Kael could only ride the dragon himself and let Kirin Lion carry Bege.
"Alright, alright, alright, you guys go into the castle first, I'll be His Majesty's guard."
A spinning petal appeared on Aramaki's back, and he flew up like a bamboo-copter, speaking to Spartan, Bill, and the others. Reiju quickly transformed into her highly venomous powder form and flew up using her flight-propulsion boots. Laffitte quietly spread a pair of white wings and also flew up. Issho also did not enter the castle; instead, he simply floated up while sitting on a stool. Everyone else obediently followed Kael's instructions and quickly took action.
"When we land on the island later, if we see anyone from the Beasts Pirates, control them immediately." "They must not be allowed to send messages to the Beasts Pirates." "We need to blockade this island until we find that Devil Fruit." "If we can't find it within a week, we'll leave."
Kael instructed Aramaki, Laffitte, and his other subordinates. He then took the lead, riding the Seven Stars Dragon Emperor towards Namakura Island. The others quickly followed.
In less than 10 minutes, everyone landed on a secluded coast of Namakura Island. Everyone emerged from the castle.
"First, find the territory of the Beasts Pirates!"
Kael's and Issho's Observation Haki quickly spread across the island.
"Your Majesty, it should be in the town in the center of the island."
Issho didn't sense any strong individuals; the slightly stronger ones were all in the central part of the island.
"Van Augur, you ride Kirin Lion and take the high ground in the air, shooting down any Beasts Pirates making calls with a Den Den Mushi." "Aramaki, don't let any Beasts Pirate escape!"
Kael quickly assigned tasks. This Devil Fruit search operation felt like they were dealing with a Four Emperors, making everyone a little nervous.
"Understood."
Van Augur immediately jumped onto Kirin Lion and flew into the sky.
"Your Majesty, do we need to be so serious? I guarantee I'll take care of these pirates."
Aramaki felt like he was using a cannon to kill a mosquito. On such a small island, there would be at most some Beasts subordinates, and most likely not a single Headliner.
"Finding the Devil Fruit will take some time. Being serious and avoiding exposure is always correct."
Kael waved his hand, immediately signaling everyone to take action. Everyone rushed towards the town center of Namakura Island.
In the still-prosperous town, Wano Country culture was prevalent everywhere. It was unclear whether it was influenced by ancient Wano Country eight hundred years ago, or if it was the Wano Country culture brought by the Beasts Pirates.
Aramaki led everyone directly to the building where the Beasts Pirates' flag stood, dealing with these Beasts subordinates with lightning speed. Bege and Laffitte took control of the royal family of Namakura Island. They captured both the King of Kura and Kura Prince. Kael's Seven Star Dragon Emperor Sword wasn't even needed; Laffitte's own hypnotic ability dealt with the King of Kura. Soon, a decree was issued from the palace, ordering a nationwide search for a fruit with patterns.
