"As ordered!"

The guard, clad in silver-white knight armor, bowed deeply upon recognizing the newcomer and then walked into the conference room…

A short while later, the guard came out, bowed respectfully to Xia Ya, and said softly, "The five lords are already inside, waiting for you, sir..."

"Um……"

Char simply nodded slightly to the guard.

"Click~"

A short while later, the door was pushed open...

Known as the 'Gods of War,' the five guardian deities of the Celestial Dragons, and the Five Elders who are considered the highest authority in the World Government, were either sitting on the sofa behind the coffee table in the conference room, or standing quietly in front of the coffee table with their arms crossed, waiting for Xia.

"Young man from the Figarand family, what business do you have with us?"

As Char entered the conference room, the Five Elders all turned their attention to him.

"I heard that the legendary pirate Shiki the Golden Lion has been captured?"

Xia looked at the five people in the conference room and asked a question he already knew the answer to.

"Exactly..."

The Five Elders nodded slightly in response, clearly indicating that they were already aware of Shiki's arrest.

"The Great Pirate Era that Roger started is going to be incredibly powerful!"

As Xia spoke, he brought up the matter of Roger.

"Hmph! They're nothing but a bunch of fools who're desperately chasing after some elusive treasure..."

Financial Martial God Izanbaron scoffed at this.

"It's time to cool them down..."

Char ignored Izambaron and continued speaking.

"oh?!"

Char's words drew the attention of the five.

For a moment, a hint of curiosity flashed in the eyes of all five of them...

"One week later, in Marineford, publicly execute Shiki the Golden Lion, the Flying Pirates' admiral who was once on par with Gol D. Roger and Edward Newgate! Let's tell the world who the true masters of this world are—those fools who were fooled by Roger's words and wanted to set sail..."

Char Aznable's lips curled into a smile as he spoke in a cold voice.

"..."

As Xia Ya finished speaking, all five people present were stunned.

A moment later, a relieved smile appeared on the faces of all five men. They looked at Xia as if he were a fully grown beast, and said softly with the tone of someone who had a worthy successor, "Do as you say! You are in full charge of this execution. Don't let us down, you brat of the Figaland family..."

"Don't worry! We will give you a satisfactory explanation..."

After Xia finished speaking, he turned and left on his own.

After Char left, the Five Elders consistently acknowledged, "This kid does indeed have some of our style from back in the day..."

A long chapter of 4,000 words! Please read on, brothers!

Chapter 35 Xia: I will not only kill people, but also destroy their spirits.

Known as the deep-sea prison Impel Down, the unknown sixth level.

With the sound of gears turning, several men in naval uniforms slowly emerged from the manual transport ladder...

"Heh, damn the navy..."

As these marines stepped into the sixth level, a place steeped in countless legends...

One fierce gaze after another, carrying an overwhelming aura, converged on the figure who had arrived at LEVEL 6...

An ordinary person would probably have been terrified and fainted the moment they were stared at by these criminals.

After all, to enter Level 6, one needs a bounty of at least 100 million! And not just any ordinary pirate, but one with a bounty of 100 million! Those effeminate guys who haven't been to the New World, even the Supernovas who are famous throughout the four seas and even Paradise, are not qualified to enter here~

Yes, the prisoners held here are all monsters who left the so-called paradise, the first half of the Grand Line, and used various means to avoid the World Government's blockade, or crossed the Red Line from the seabed through the bubbles of the Sabaody Archipelago, or relied on their perseverance to cross the Red Line and reach the New World...

Because the criminals here are so vicious, even the World Government hopes to completely erase these people from the history of the World Government's rule over the world. Therefore, due to the government's intervention, ordinary people are not even aware of the existence of the Sixth Floor.

Furthermore, since most of the prisoners on this floor have committed acts that challenge the limits of human morality—the cruelty of which is so extreme that even hearing about them would make ordinary people uncomfortable—it's impossible to even publish such stories in the newspapers! Therefore, most of the criminals held here are forgotten figures by the world…

Yet it was in this prison, a place brimming with legend, that things truly happened.

That man with long, golden hair was also special!

He was not imprisoned with any other prisoners, but was held alone in a large cell on the sixth floor. Although his hands and feet were immobile, he was still bound by chains made of high-purity sea stone by the jailers...

Meanwhile, prison guards would patrol and watch over the man almost 24 hours a day, fearing that this man, bound like a pretzel, might not be able to do anything...

The man who made everyone in the prison, including the warden, so nervous had an incredibly prestigious title: Admiral 'Golden Lion' Shiki of the Flying Pirates.

A monster who was once on par with Pirate King Roger and Whitebeard Newgate...

Ever since Shiki single-handedly stormed Marine Headquarters and demanded the remains of Pirate King Gol D. Roger from Marine hero Garp and strategist Sengoku...

He was captured by Garp and Sengoku, beaten until his head was covered in blood, and imprisoned in this dark cell.

In the past few days, Shiki has been reflecting on the reasons for his failure...

"Shiki, I've come to see you..."

Just as Shiki was deep in thought, a loud and noisy voice suddenly rang in his ears, interrupting his reverie about the future.

"It's you! Garp..."

Shiki didn't even look at the person speaking. He recognized the person just by hearing their noisy voice. Even if he searched the whole world, the only person who could make him feel nauseous just by opening their mouth was that bastard Garp.

"What are you doing here, you bastard?"

"I don't want to see you, get the hell out of here..."

Shiki kept his eyes closed, too lazy to look at Garp.

"Ski, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?"

Garp looked at Shiki in the cell and asked with a smile.

"Let me tell you the good news first!"

Upon hearing this, Shiki slowly opened his eyes and said coldly.

"The good news is, you'll be getting out of this damn prison soon..."

Garp answered truthfully.

"Where's the bad news?"

"I'll ask you that," Shiki continued.

"The bad news is that the World Government has decided to publicly execute you at Marineford, Marine Headquarters, in one week..."

Garp looked at Shiki and said with a chuckle, "You're about to die, old lion! A man like you who has lived a dissolute life will ultimately only end up being executed. Was your life really worth it?"

"You're saying the World Government has decided to publicly execute me at Marineford, the Navy Headquarters, in a week?! Hehehehe..."

After hearing Garp's words, Shiki suddenly burst into laughter. His chest heaved, and his body began to sway with the movement. However, as Shiki moved, the chains binding him tightened and made a 'crackling' sound.

"Hey! Shiki, don't make any moves..."

As the chains binding Shiki began to sway, the guards' faces immediately contorted with panic. They grabbed their weapons, pointed them at Shiki, and roared.

"Don't worry! With me here, nothing will happen."

Garp waved his hand at the guards around him. Given Shiki's current exhausted state, even if he escaped, he wouldn't be at full strength; his opponent…

"Garp, what are you talking about?"

"This is more bad news than good news!"

"Damn, this is clearly two pieces of good news!"

"Look, Roger has been crowned the Pirate King by his supporters..."

"In the end, he could only die in the weakest of the East China Seas!"

"I died at Marine Headquarters! Not a bad life..."

Shiki's expression was full of magnanimity.

Sometimes I think about this!

"For the first half of my life, I was in the Rocks Pirates, constantly being suppressed by those two old devils, Rocks and Whitebeard! After the battle at God Valley, that old devil Rocks was taken down by you and Roger, and the Rocks Pirates were completely destroyed. I went solo, and then continued to lose to Roger for the rest of my life..."

"I've been thinking, why have I been losing my whole life? Even during the Battle of Att Wol, I had the upper hand, leading hundreds of warships to surround Roger's little wrecked ship, and I was about to sink the Roger Pirates, but then fate just screwed me over again..."

"Can you imagine? The weather was perfectly fine, not a cloud in the sky, and suddenly a storm hit! The storm was even worse than the Newgate earthquake! Hundreds of my warships were wiped out in the blink of an eye, and that bastard Roger was completely unharmed..."

At this point, Shiki burst into maniacal laughter.

"Jie ha ha ha..."

"I've been losing my whole life! Finally, I've won for once!"
