I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

“That’s easy,” Bingjack nodded quickly.

"In the New World today, the Roger Pirates, the Flying Pirates, and the Whitebeard Pirates are the three strongest pirate crews."

"But Shiki the Golden Lion's Flying Pirates are powerful. He has recently recruited a large number of pirates, and more than 100 pirate crews have surrendered to him, expanding his power."

"I've learned that Shiki is currently trying to find Roger... Shiki is at the height of his power right now, and if he finds out where Roger's crew is, he'll definitely take action."

"It might just be the final battle between these two great pirate crews."

"Regardless of who wins this battle, our Wald Pirates can take advantage of the situation and even wipe out both of these pirate crews in one fell swoop."

Wald remained silent.

If he could, he would prefer a fair and square fight.

But witnessing Barrett's battle with Wang Sig, he suddenly realized a problem.

The Roger Pirates and the Flying Pirates have now left their former rival far behind.

The World Pirates don't have Rayleigh, Barrett, or 100 affiliated pirate crews.

"Do as you say."

Wald said in a muffled voice:

"After Roger and Shiki have their final battle, no matter who wins, I will be the one to finish him off."

Bingjack smiled and turned to instruct the pale-faced man beside him:

"White Dove, I remember you have connections with people in the underworld, don't you?"

"Come with me. We need to negotiate with the underworld forces on Resin Island."

"First Mate Bingjack, shall we go, just the two of us?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"nothing..."

The pale-faced man nicknamed White Dove lowered his head.

..........

Deep within Resin Island, in a luxuriously decorated building.

Stussy lay casually on the recliner, half-closing his eyes, listening to his subordinates' reports.

By this time, she had inherited Ivan's power and become the queen of Pleasure Street.

But when she heard a certain word, she trembled and sat up.

White Dove is a member of CP0 and an undercover agent planted by the World Government within the Wald Pirates.

She had just learned very important information from the message secretly revealed by the white dove...

"It's a pity that White Dove wasn't the only one who came... otherwise, we wouldn't have needed to tell Golden Lion this news."

Stussy was slightly disappointed.

CP0's White Dove has another purpose; its existence is to cooperate with the Navy in destroying the Wald Pirates, and it is not yet time for it to be exposed.

in other words....

Contact between the Flying Pirates and the Roger Pirates is now inevitable. If they outwardly comply but inwardly defy them, the Pleasure District will likely have to face Wald's wrath.

"Leave the information to Shiki the Golden Lion's Flying Pirates...and of course, don't forget to report this intelligence to the World Government as well," she finally instructed.

Chapter 795 The Strongest Pirate Crew of This Era

A certain island in the new world.

Inside the grand banquet hall.

Shiki the Golden Lion sat alone on the highest throne, holding a bowl of wine, looking down at the pirates in the banquet hall below.

Here, a full 100 pirate captains and the executives of the Flying Pirates gathered, a veritable constellation of stars.

"Hehehehe... I've been thinking, should I go find Whitebeard first, or Roger first..."

"Now I don't need to make a choice; the answer has appeared before me on its own."

Shiki the Golden Lion laughed loudly, raised his wine bowl high, and drank with the pirates below.

At this moment, he was full of pride and high spirits.

The pirates below also started making a ruckus.

"Admiral Shiki, so you're still planning to wipe out the Roger Pirates first?"

"With the strength of our Flying Pirates, let alone wiping out the Roger Pirates... we should bring both the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates under our command!"

"We are now the strongest pirate crew in the world. What are Roger and Whitebeard compared to us?"

The pirates' loud discussions pleased Shiki.

The fragile balance of power among the three major pirate crews is about to be broken with the expansion of the Flying Pirates.

At this moment, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Flying Pirates are the strongest pirate crew in the world in this era.

But when his subordinates mentioned the phrase "the world's strongest pirate crew"...

He gazed at the pirates below, his eyes suddenly becoming somewhat dazed as he recalled events from many years ago.

"If one day, Whitebeard and Roger were to join my crew, it would be just like the Rocks Pirates back in the day..."

The golden lion put down the wine bowl in his hand, his gaze disdainful.

Rocks has been dead for 11 years.

The World Government is trying its best to eliminate his influence, but for these pirates who came from the Rocks era, it is hard to forget the Rocks of yesteryear.

Therefore, Shiki, who came from the Rocks Pirates, is still compared to Rocks by pirates of the old era.

Titles like "the man closest to becoming the ruler of the seas," "the true successor of the Rocks Pirates," and more...

The Golden Lion has heard these voices far too many times.

But now...

"No! I will not become Rocks; we will surpass the original Rocks!"

The golden lion's eyes flashed coldly as he raised his wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"The Flying Pirates, set sail!"

................

Marineford, Naval Headquarters.

Inside the Marshal's office.

Fleet Admiral Steelbone was sitting at the table, discussing military matters with Vice Admiral Garp.

"The Flying Pirates are trying to make contact with the Roger Pirates... The situation is already very serious. If they're not careful, a behemoth comparable to the Rocks Pirates might be born..."

"I've already asked Sengoku to handle this matter, but it's not enough..."

The encounter between two legendary pirate crews at their peak was a more dangerous and important event than the later encounter between two Yonko (Four Emperors).

On a larger scale, if these two pirate crews were to go to war, it would drastically affect the course of this era.

"I understand, I'll go too!"

Garp stood up and strode out.

"Wait, Garp! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"You haven't finished speaking, but I've had enough." Garp slammed the door shut and walked away.

"Garp, that self-centered bastard... such a guy is our naval hero."

Steelbone Sky sighed softly.

"I haven't had a chance to mention that a powerful swordsman has emerged in Roger's crew who can rival or even defeat Barrett."

"Forget it, anyway, Garp won't care even if I say so."

Steelbone shook his head and continued processing military intelligence.

..........

Outside the door, Garp strode out.

Aokiji, Tsuru, and the others followed behind him, quickly heading towards the port.

Looking at Garp's broad back, Aokiji exclaimed, "Mr. Garp is so cool... I heard you refused the promotion to Admiral again."

Garp paused slightly, his expression momentarily frozen.

Since the God Valley incident, he has become a so-called naval hero.

In the news released by the Navy, it was said that he, as a vice admiral, single-handedly killed Rocks, annihilated the arrogant pirate's ambition, and protected the Celestial Dragons and their slaves in God Valley.

Garp was not proud at all.

No one mentioned the Roger Pirates, nor did anyone mention the pillar of light that fell from the sky.

All of this is related to the name Lox, which has gradually been buried in the dust of history.

Garp turned around and saw the eager gaze of his junior, Aokiji. He looked away and said:

"If you're in a high position, you can't do certain things freely, so I'd rather not have it."

"Compared to these..."

Garp turned to look at Vice Admiral Tsuru beside him:

"Xiao He, my warship is under repair... can I borrow your warship?"

"I refuse," Lieutenant General Tsuru replied outright.

"With your dangerous way of traveling, if I were to lend you a warship, my ship would be destroyed too."

The group had been talking for a while when they arrived at the port.

Here, a large warship is about to set sail.
