I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"This battle is quite interesting! The immortality of a mythical beast versus an impenetrable steel balloon..."

The other pirates were mostly just busybodies watching the excitement, and they were already making a fuss.

Someone, unable to stand it any longer, stood up:

"A battle between the two top officers is no small matter; it would be best to inform Captain Rocks..."

He had just stood up when the pirates next to him forcibly pushed him back down.

"Hey, didn't Captain Rocks say last time not to bother him with such trivial matters..."

"Don't meddle in other people's business..."

..........

Listening to the commotion in the distance, Sieg shook his head inwardly.

"It's probably another pirate fight..."

As long as you don't make a scene in front of him, he'll pretend he doesn't know anything.

Anyway, he can't control it.

"Although Lox's power is strong..."

"Unfortunately, I am not Rocks, and the people on this ship are not united."

"With such a massive army at his disposal, it's only natural that his desires would swell to the point where he wants to become the so-called king of the world."

Sieg sighed inwardly, but maintained his indifferent expression, glancing to his side out of the corner of his eye.

As you can see, some people on the ship are secretly watching Rocks.

Their eyes were mostly filled with awe.

For pirates, Rocks, the overlord of the seas, has become a symbol of resistance against the Navy. He has dominated the New World for more than a decade, and now even the Navy is hesitant to confront him directly.

But it's just awe.

Just like Blackbeard revered Whitebeard.

When Whitebeard grows old and weak, suffers from a serious illness, and is no longer the strongest in the world, these great pirates with Conqueror's Haki will reveal their true fangs.

Sig stood outside for a while, facing the gazes of the pirates, and a chill ran through him.

Gradually, as the thin mist spread, the outline of an island appeared in the distance.

"Captain Rocks, we're almost at our destination!" a navigator reminded him, glancing at the permanent pointer in the box.

The island's outline gradually became clear. On the island ahead, there were towering, enormous trees, similar to the ancient island that Sieg had visited before, with trees of astonishing size.

In addition, amidst the mist, a tall wooden house with its doors wide open could be vaguely seen. The house was extremely tall, at least tens of meters high, and its astonishing size could be seen even from a distance.

"This...this is incredible! So this is the island."

Longbread also came over, his expression a little serious.

“Oh? You know this island? Tell me about it.” Sig’s gaze shifted to the long bread.

Longbread itself isn't particularly strong, but its ability to eat the Eat Eat Fruit is excellent. Combined with Big Mom's Soul Soul Fruit power, it can move freely throughout most of the New World and has a wide range of knowledge.

"This island is called the Little Camp. It is a rest stop for the giant warriors when they set sail to hunt and plunder."

"In other words, starting from this island, it is already the territory of the giant race's kingdoms."

Longbread, sweat beading on its forehead, stared at Sieg, its heart already racing with anxiety.

Sieg's trip was very secretive; he did not reveal the purpose of his trip to his subordinates at all.

Including Longbread, Bigom, and others, they only knew that there was some kind of cooperation between Sig and the king of the dark world.

But now it seems...

The fact that Locus has gathered so many troops and come to the seas of the giant kingdoms is clearly no small matter.

"What exactly does Captain Rocks want to do?"

Looking at Sieg, whose expression remained calm and composed, Longbread began to feel uneasy.

The same question lingered in the minds of Ivan and his gang, the kings of Pleasure Street.

They had arrived at the small camp ahead of time, but when the lookout spotted the Lox fleet closing in from afar, Ivan's face turned green.

Chapter 753 Double-crossing?

Ivan's face had turned a little green.

"What's going on? This isn't what we agreed on! Is Lox trying to double-cross us here?"

He turned pale and paced back and forth in the room, extremely agitated.

A figure like Rocks had been the overlord of the New World for over a decade, with countless powerful warriors under his command.

This means that even the navy would find it difficult to contend with him on this vast sea.

Working with a big shot like Rocks should naturally require utmost attention.

But this big move by Lox has stunned Ivan.

"Is he planning to double-cross us? Or does he want to start a war?"

Ivan already felt remorse.

"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die. Even if Locke doesn't intend to double-cross us, we have to have a backup plan..."

"If he tries to double-cross me... then I'll knock out all his teeth too, I won't let him get away with it."

The island where Ivan was located, known as the small camp, was situated in the sea area of ​​the giant kingdoms.

The giants are warlike and incredibly powerful, so neither the great pirates nor the navy can reach this area.

The same goes for Ivan's Pleasure Street.

With Locus leading his fleet about to reach the small camp, he had no chance of putting up any decent resistance.

Therefore, it was impossible to rely on his former subordinates to resist Rocks.

Ivan turned his head and looked at the dozens of his men standing beside him.

They were not the main force in this operation, so these dozens of people were just there to make an appearance; their numbers were small.

While he was pondering, he heard a noisy conversation coming from afar, and Ivan didn't have much time to prepare.

As he strode out of the large wooden house, he turned to look at Stusi beside him:

"Stusi, be smarter later."

Ivan gave the order:

"I'll negotiate with Lox first."

"First, contact the few spies we left in the Giant Kingdoms and make preparations. If things change and Rocks sells us out, immediately inform them via Den Den Mushi and have them spread the word that the Rocks Pirates are leading a large fleet to attack the Giant Kingdoms."

"it is good."

Stussy nodded in agreement. She lowered her head and watched Ivan and the others walk out of the large wooden house, but a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

"The Rocks Pirates are leading their fleet in a full-scale attack on the giant kingdoms?"

She smiled.

"It sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

In the few minutes Ivan was out, Stussy had already contacted the few spies Ivan had mentioned.

Of course, as CP0, she also leaked this information to the World Government.

...........

Marineford, Naval Headquarters.

The generals of headquarters gathered once again to discuss countermeasures.

"According to intelligence provided by CP0, Lox has led his fleet to the seas of the Giant Kingdoms."

"The world's strongest pirate crew is really going to make contact with the world's strongest nation, the land of giants, Elbaf."

"Moreover, this matter also involves Ivan, the king of the underworld..."

“Ivan has planted spies in all the giant kingdoms, ready to spread messages at any time.”

"However, we don't yet know what the purpose is of Lox and Ivan going to such lengths and making such a big fuss..."

As one officer reported this, many people, including Kong, turned their attention to Sengoku.

Before the Scarborough Island incident, it was Sengoku who proposed the hypothesis that the Rocks Pirates' target might be the Giants.

This assumption did not hold true at the time, but it does hold true now.

"Warring States Period, what do you think?" Kong couldn't help but ask.

"I think this is a good opportunity to deal with the Rocks Pirates," Sengoku said.

“Lox has led his fleet out to attack, leaving his rear relatively undefended. We can send our fleet to attack Lox’s main base.”

"At the same time, we should try to hold back the large force led by Rocks, making it difficult for him to return to the rescue in time, thereby weakening the Rocks Pirates."

Steel Bone nodded, but his brow remained deeply furrowed.

"The seas where the giant kingdoms are located are quite a distance from us."

"With Lockes already at the small camp, our fleet will find it difficult to arrive in time to intercept him..."

Sengoku shook his head:

"To hold off Lockes' fleet, we don't necessarily need to send our own fleet."

"Don't forget, that ocean is controlled by the giant nations."

"If the news that the world's strongest pirate crew has led its fleet into the country were to be exposed, even the world's strongest nation, Elbaf, would be on edge."

The naval admiral sitting at the head of the table also suddenly brightened up. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke:

"I'll negotiate with CP0, and I'm sure CP0 won't refuse."

"The price paid was merely the exposure of one CP0 agent."
