New World G-5 Base Suzheng Naval Base
Before the night faded, the armored gate opened with a "boom", and the sound of the steel rails pushing forward was deep and powerful.
The "Judgment" slowly approached the shore. The flagship named "Blade of Justice" that made the pirates tremble in fear was like a Shinigami returning to its nest in the morning mist.
The deck bridge dropped down, and a figure stepped out first.
——Shiryu, former warden of Impel Down, the underwater prison.
At that moment, the entire G-5 military base seemed to stand still in an instant, and only surprise and whispers remained in the air.
"Isn't that... that madman from Impel Down?"
"Shiryu...shouldn't he be locked up?"
"Wait, he's joining us? Seriously?!"
Leiter was the first to walk over quickly, his military jacket casually draped over his waist, Seastone brass knuckles draped around his waist. His face was filled with undisguised curiosity and excitement.
"Are you Shiryu? You're quite good at killing, aren't you?" He said with a smile in his voice.
Enel stood aside with his arms folded, his golden eyes narrowed slightly, lightning dancing lightly between his fingers:
"He's truly a ruthless individual... His aura is exactly like the Impel Down rumors. Pretty awesome."
Following closely behind was Luo Trafalgar, whose face had long been as calm as ice.
When his eyes fell on the famous black sword at Ain's waist, his steps paused slightly and his eyes darkened.
"...Black knife? Did you bring it back from Thriller barque?"
"Yes." Ian nodded gently, his tone full of calm confidence, "It recognizes me as its master."
"pretty."
Lei Te smiled, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, "Then I must test your strength - especially you, Shiryu."
"I heard you've killed many powerful Pirates. Come and test my fist."
Training Ground
Under the scorching sun, the ground of the G-5 training ground had already been cracked like spider webs by the aftermath of Haki.
The watching Marines retreated a hundred meters away, but were still tossed to and fro by the oncoming gusts of wind.
Leiter twisted his neck, his armor color covering his body like a tide, and his seastone brass knuckles gleamed coldly. "I heard you never use a second blow when you kill someone?"
Shiryu's thumb gently pushed the hilt of the sword, and the Thunderstorm was unsheathed three inches: "Today I will make an exception."
Before he finished speaking, the two of them disappeared at the same time!
"Bang--!!!"
The moment the fists and blades collided, the shock wave shattered the nearest turret.
Rhett spun around and delivered a whip kick, but Shiryu leaned back to avoid it and hit his knee with the back of his knife.
Rhett staggered half a step, but used the momentum to elbow his opponent in the throat, forcing Shiryu to block with his sword.
Amid the clanging sound of metal, the two men each took three steps back, leaving a deep pit on the ground.
Rhett steadied himself and rushed forward quickly.
"Armed·Random Fighting!" His fists turned into afterimages, and each blow was accompanied by a sharp whistle that tore through the air.
Shiryu's sword light formed a dense net, cutting off all attacks.
Sparks flew, and Rhett suddenly changed his tactics, throwing an uppercut straight to the jaw.
"clang!"
The Thunderstorm Blade accurately blocked the fist. Shiryu sneered: "Brute force is good, but..."
The blade suddenly turned and slashed towards Rhett's throat along his arm!
At the critical moment, Rhett leaned back suddenly, and the tip of the knife brushed past his nose, leaving a line of blood on his chest.
Rhett wiped off the Bloodline, and the muscles in his arms suddenly swelled.
The pitch-black Armament Haki actually began to flow, gathering at the tip of the fist like magma—it was the entanglement of the Armament Haki that had just begun to emerge!
Shiryu's pupils suddenly shrank: "Oh?"
"Haki Entanglement·Bengquan!"
Lei Te roared and blasted out a spiral shock wave.
Shiryu finally got serious, wrapped the blade of the Thunderstorm Blade with dark red arcs, and slashed down with one blow.
"Thunder Prison!"
"BOOM——!!!"
The moment the two energies collided, half of the ground in the training ground was blown away.
In the smoke and dust, Lei Te slid backwards for more than ten meters, his arms trembling;
Shiryu took three steps back, stabilizing himself by digging the tip of his knife into the ground.
"Ahem...I almost spit out Laozi's breakfast."
Rhett spat out the blood foam from his mouth, but grinned, "Your move is powerful!"
Shiryu sheathed her sword, a rare smile on her face. "Just mastered Armament Haki and you're able to take my slash head-on... G-5 is truly home to monsters."
He walked towards Lei Te and suddenly threw a bottle of wine to him, "Next time we fight bandits, you will be the first to go."
Lei Te caught the bottle, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "Don't let me take all your heads!"
The onlookers were stunned.
Enel scratched his ears: "Tsk, two battle maniacs..."
A few days later.
Shiryu quickly integrated into G-5, especially forming the "Hunting Trio" with Lei Te and Enel.
Every time they go out on a hunting patrol, all the Pirates are killed, and no one survives.
"G-5 is crazy! He's beheading you before you even finish your cry for help!"
"That guy named Shiryu... he's so scary, he's slashing people while laughing!!"
"These people are more brutal than the Four Emperors!"
The underground world is wailing constantly, and intelligence channels have raised the danger level of "G-5" to the highest level:
"The Southwest Blue Region of New World has become a slaughterhouse!"
"Bounty Hunter Intelligence Channel Warning: Avoid all G-5 waters, leave no one alive!!"
G-5 Base Rogge Office
On the desk, an urgent report from East Blue slowly slid down and lay quietly in front of Rogge:
East Blue: Frequent maritime attacks: Groups of unidentified, violent creatures attack merchant ships and devour crew members. Some merchant groups have been completely wiped out, with wreckage missing.
Rogge tapped his fingers lightly on the paper, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Violent creature...?"
He whispered to himself, his eyes deep:
"Golden Lion? Right now... it seems like they're actually researching some kind of IQ project."
After a long silence, he put down the report, stood up calmly and put on his coat:
"East Blue is where I started my business and it shouldn't be in danger of getting out of control like this."
"There are still some things I need to confirm."
He dialed his exclusive Platinum Den Den Mushi, his tone concise:
"CP0, immediately search the airflow anomaly areas over East Blue, especially those with atmospheric disturbances that could allow for long-term concealment."
"I suspect there are hidden Sky Island clusters."
"Notify me once the location is complete."
After hanging up, he kicked open the office door and shouted:
"Leit, Enel—get ready to go."
"We're going back to East Blue."
[East Blue·STRONG WORLD Sky Island群]
More than ten floating Sky Islands were connected by giant chains, like aerial fortresses, surrounded by clouds and mist, lightning, and the air was faintly filled with the pungent smell of drugs.
On the central island, tall towers stand in rows. Amid the roar of steam, hundreds of scientists are busy operating giant experimental equipment. Inside the rows of injection tanks are blurry and twisting giant black shadows.
On the central main island, the giant banquet hall was brightly lit, wine barrels were piled up like a hill, and the fat from roasting whole Sea Kings dripped into the bonfire, making a sizzling sound.
"Woohahaha! Cheers, guys!!!"
Golden Lion Shiki stuck a sword into the wine table, his long golden hair dancing wildly, and holding the wine bottle high in his hand.
His legs, replaced by the famous swords "Sakura Ten" and "Moku", were deeply embedded in the tabletop, and it seemed as if even the island was shaking with his laughter.
"To the success rate of IQ exceeding 40% - Cheers!!!"
"cheers!!!"
Indigo, wearing his ridiculous purple lab coat and face paint, was drinking from a bucket of liquor.
Scarleto hugged a few of his men and danced a weird dance drunkenly, occasionally making strange "ga ba ba ba" laughs.
After three rounds of drinks, Indigo wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth, approached Golden Lion, and said in a low voice:
"Captain, is it really okay for us to drop those violent creatures from the failed experiment onto East Blue?"
He adjusted his tilted goggles, speaking hesitantly, "East Blue is now the domain of that 'Xuanlin' Rogge... After he took over, the Pirates in East Blue were almost extinct. Even the Marine branch was completely reorganized by him..."
Golden Lion glanced at him sideways, then suddenly burst into laughter. He put his arm around Indigo's shoulders, spraying him in the face with the reek of alcohol.
"Indigo, when did you become such a coward?! That Rogge? He's just a brat!"
He took a gulp of wine, his eyes flashing with contempt: "No matter how powerful he is, can he still fly up here?!"
"Woohahaha!!"
A burst of laughter erupted in the banquet hall. The Pirates slammed the table and stamped their feet, and the sound of wine glasses clinking could be heard one after another.
"That's right! We are in heaven!"
"Could he possibly grow wings and fly up to chop us down?!"
"Ga pa pa pa! Even if he can really fly, we still have thousands of ferocious beasts waiting for him!"
Golden Lion looked at his men's reactions with satisfaction, crushing the bottle in his hand, and glass shards mixed with wine dripped from between his fingers.
"East Blue...Roger's hometown..."
He stared at the sea of clouds in the distance, with a crazy light flashing in his one eye.
"Soon, it will be reduced to rubble... and that Rogge will be left watching from the ground!"
"Woohahahaha!!!"
On Sky Island, a group of villains and scientists were drinking happily, with the roars of beasts heard continuously, like a feast before a storm.
