I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Is someone holding a fragment of my Vivre Card in the skies above this Thunder Isle?"

"Could it be Tianyue Shi? She's in the sky... Could she be on the Sky Island Bika?"

Sig immediately thought of the missing Tengetsu, and his expression turned somewhat strange.

Tenzuki's goal was to return to his homeland, Wano Country, while their original agreement was to reunite in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Therefore, when Sieg was still Rocks, he specifically instructed Shakky...

But no matter where she goes, she can't possibly go to a sky island, can she?

"How did she get to the sky? Was it a random time travel, ending up on a floating island?"

The thought crossed Sieg's mind, but the unusual direction made him wary.

It doesn't necessarily have to be the time of day or month.

Besides giving the Vivre Card to Toki Amatsuki, Sieg also gave it to Rocks.

The Life Card fragments that Lox had in his possession had returned to Sieg after he killed Lox.

But Sieg couldn't know whether Lox had distributed the card to anyone else...

"Who is it? Should we go up to Sky Island, Birka, and take a look?"

The sky island is about 10,000 meters high, and it's not something that can be done in a short time.

"But what if we miss Roger's ship at this point..."

Sig looked up at the sky, feeling troubled.

.........

Another island.

The pirate ship Oro Jackson is anchored on the shore.

"Finally, we've escaped that terrible storm... It's a pity that the Golden Lion's luck isn't so good."

Roger stood on the beach, gazing at the distant sea, still feeling a lingering fear.

"Captain Roger." At this moment, the ship's navigator walked towards Roger, pointing to the rapidly spinning record pointer in his hand:

"This is not Thor's Island, but an island on another flight path."

"In another half a day, the island's magnetic field will cover our record pointer, causing it to point to the next island on this route... Captain Roger, what do we do now?"

The storm at sea during the previous naval battle came from the direction of Thunder Island.

When they broke through the storm, the Roger Pirates didn't have much time to spare, and they rushed against the wind towards Raijin Island.

At the time, I was just trying to drift along in the direction that was not obstructed, and then the ocean current carried me to this island at my feet.

"What should I do?"

Roger smiled slightly:

"We've never sailed this route before either. We were just lucky to be blown here by the storm, so let's just continue along this route!"

"Wait, Roger!"

At this moment, Barrett suddenly interjected:

"Wang Xige isn't here!"

"Hmm? He didn't catch up with our ship?" Roger was slightly surprised.

"Wang Xige? He didn't appear during the naval battle. It seems he escaped in the chaos using some kind of physical technique like Moonwalk?" someone said.

"Ultimately, although he was the captain's guest, he was still an outsider..."

"They chose to leave when we were at a disadvantage... While it's understandable, it's still going too far."

They also knew that Wang Xige was an outsider and not suitable to be involved in the battle.

But seeing Wang Xige take the opportunity to leave inevitably made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"No! That's not the truth!"

At that moment, a young voice suddenly rang out.

Shanks looked up, adjusted the brim of his straw hat, and stared intently at the pirates who had just spoken.

"Didn't you hear the voice from heaven?"

"In this battle, Wang Xige didn't treat himself as an outsider. He was using his own reputation to stop the Golden Lion..."

"Young Shanks argued, his eyes sparkling."

These words left the pirates stunned.

Roger, Rayleigh, and the others exchanged glances, slightly surprised.

"Did he awaken his Observation Haki during the battle?"

“That’s excellent for a twelve-year-old,” Ridley praised with a smile.

"However, Rayleigh, we've encountered people born with top-tier Observation Haki before..."

Although Roger said that, a smile still spread across his face:

"Shanks is right. Wang Sieg has done far more than you can imagine."

Roger crouched down, took off his captain's hat, and placed it over Shanks' straw hat.

The two hats were stacked together.

"Shanks, which of your two hats do you prefer?"

"Is it Wang Sieg's or Rocks' captain's hat, or my straw hat?" Roger asked with a smile.

Chapter 804 The Ghost of Lox

"Captain Shisky, the rudder is stuck very deep in your head. If we try to remove it by force, it could be life-threatening..."

A doctor in a white coat looked at the man sitting on the hospital bed, puffing out a cigar, and said.

Puff puff puff---

With a sound like a fart, Indigo walked over. Looking at the slightly bewildered golden lion and the ship's wheel stuck above its head, he couldn't help but admire it:

"Fell from the sky, the rudder is stuck so deep, and you're still alive? Boss Shiki, your vitality is really tenacious."

"The crew members who were on the same ship as you at the time, even if they didn't die from the fall, were all swallowed up by the giant waves."

"of course."

The golden lion stood up, a cigar dangling from his lips, and strode forward with a proud smile, like a lion surveying its territory.

"After all, I am a man known as the Lion---"

As he passed the mirror, his voice abruptly stopped, and he stared in shock at his reflection and the ship's rudder above his head, which resembled a rooster's comb.

Where did this chicken come from?

"Isn't that you? Or is your brain not working properly?" Indigo complained from the side.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Shiki... why did you suddenly take to the sky in that stormy weather?" he asked.

"As a user of the Float-Float Fruit, you should know best how terrifying a storm can be."

These words startled Shiki. He frowned and pondered deeply, but then felt a sharp pain in his head.

"I don't remember very clearly..."

"But as far as I can remember, I seem to have lost the power of the Float-Float Fruit?" Shiki's tone was somewhat uncertain.

In Shiki's memory, there was only one person who could temporarily strip away a Devil Fruit's power.

But that person was already dead.

"It couldn't be that I encountered that person's ghost, and he didn't want me to defeat Roger and become the ruler of this era, could it?"

"Or perhaps the next user of the Dark-Dark Fruit?"

The golden lion chuckled to himself.

He didn't believe in these superstitious things.

"The power of Devil Fruits can only be suppressed by encountering Seastone or seawater." Indigo shook his head.

“Boss Shiki, it’s normal that you can’t use your abilities since you fell into the sea.”

"Is that so... It seems I remembered wrong." The Golden Lion frowned and touched the ship's wheel on its head.

"That's right. If I hadn't fallen into the sea, how could I have failed to avoid this rudder?"

His eyes were somewhat dim.

"Did it ultimately fail, Roger?"

"Although bad luck and encountering a natural disaster played a part, this time, we really lost completely."

..........

Near Thor Island.

"Captain Wald!"

A subordinate rushed in in a panic:

"We're surrounded by naval warships!"

The subordinate's report immediately roused Wald, who had been feeling a bit drowsy.

"Oh? Is it Garp? Or Sengoku? Zeff?"

"neither."

"No? Then it's alright."

Wald immediately lost interest:

"Don't bother me with this childish game, Bingjack. You take the officers and handle it."

Bingjack nodded and led a group of people out.
