I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

The kings of the underworld, led by the Six Kings of the Underworld, each have their own channels.

"That's amazing..."

"This material looks very powerful. If it can really be mass-produced... Heh, JOKER has always controlled the bulk of the arms business in the underworld. He's probably going to be spitting blood now."

"The arms and weapons industry is extremely profitable, but JOKER has powerful connections. Right now..."

Below, the shipping tycoon Umit chuckled.

He was one of the six kings, a bigwig in the transportation industry, and at this moment he did not hold back his praise.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Sieg in the distance.

Sieg seemed to notice his gaze and nodded with a smile.

This simple action put Umit at ease, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

Umit, the Sea King, one of the six kings of the dark world and a leading figure in the entire maritime transport industry, had also met with Sig on the Isle of All Things ten years ago to discuss business. The hidden blade craftsman at that time was also introduced by Umit.

Now, Sig is the bandit king at the top of the sea, and the two are no longer on the same level, so he has to show goodwill.

Chapter 1056 The Thriller Bark

On the Going Merry.

Navigator Nami paced back and forth in front of a large bag of gold and jewels, occasionally running over to glance at it; her eyes had already morphed into the shape of Pele.

"Gold, and so many antiques and jewelry... I really want to get to the next island as soon as possible and exchange all of this for money."

"After coming down from the Sky Island, although I went to Changhuan Island, there was nowhere to trade large quantities of gold."

Robin, sitting on a beach chair nearby, closed his book and chimed in:

"The next island... if I remember correctly, is Water Seven. It's a relatively prosperous island with plenty of places to trade gold."

Having spent ten years traveling around as a revolutionary soldier, Robin's experience and knowledge far surpassed those of his fellow crew members on the ship.

"Water Seven? Are we finally going to the next island?"

Luffy's eyes lit up, filled with anticipation.

However, Usopp, standing next to him, looked a little unwell.

"Why are you all so happy...? Have you forgotten what our powerful enemy, the great pirate [Fatal Prestige] Servais, said?"

"What did he say?" Luffy asked, puzzled.

Sanji was carrying two servings of grape juice toward Nami and the other girl, casually striking up a conversation:

"He seemed to be saying... I'm just the weakest of the 56 Emperors?"

“No!” Usopp shook his head.

Usopp mimicked the tone of the old man they had fought, coldly looking at Luffy and the others before him:

"There are many more powerful beings in the deeper reaches of the Grand Line. There are fifty or sixty great pirates who come from the same Infinite Hell as me, and I am just an ordinary one among them."

"You boys, you have no idea how vast the ocean is. Defeating an old man like me is nothing..."

"Further ahead lies the sea where great pirates fight for supremacy—a true hell!"

"So..." Usopp finished his imitation and said with a mournful face:

"Why aren't you worried at all? What if we encounter Enel again, or a powerful enemy like the Deadly Magician Servais?"

"Then let's knock them out," Luffy said casually.

"Speaking of which, what's the difference between the Fifty-Six Emperors and the Four Emperors? That makes exactly sixty." Sanji frowned.

"Also, why are there five Emperors in total?" Chopper asked, equally puzzled.

Should Shiki the Golden Lion be considered one of the Four Emperors, or one of the 56 Emperors?

They knew very little about the world's true strongmen, and little about the routes ahead.

"Ahem, that's a long story."

Usopp immediately wiped the gloomy look off his face and coughed lightly:

"Many years ago, there were sixty pirate emperors on this sea. It was my old friend, the Mountain Bandit King, who fought alongside me and took down 56 of them one bottle at a time, leaving only the later four emperors."

"As for the 56th Emperor's escape, that's another story..."

Robin watched Luffy, Usopp, and the others chatting and joking, and chuckled softly beside them, but at the same time her thoughts gradually drifted away.

She also knew some of the old stories from back then.

The "Fifty-Six Emperors" is just a figurative number, representing the most dangerous group of criminals on the seas over the past few decades.

Apart from those who died in the final battle ten years ago when they were swept away by the giant waves, they each had their own circumstances over the past decade.

Among them are those with extraordinary abilities that allow them to defeat stronger opponents, those who rapidly expand their influence and build vast empires, and others who are powerful figures capable of rivaling the Four Emperors solely through their own strength...

Over the past decade, the overall number and strength of both the navy and pirates have been gradually expanding, and the tides of the times have become increasingly turbulent.

Although Dol, the user of the Door-Door Fruit, is old, his ability is still incredibly difficult to defend against. Add to that the rapidly rising Admiral Higuma...

Of the so-called Fifty-Six Emperors, some were recaptured by the now-powerful Navy, while others perished in battles between pirates for various reasons. Apart from those who were too old and whose strength had declined, those who were still active on the seas ten years later were the best of the best.

"Huh? Why is it foggy?"

"A layer of fog suddenly appeared? There was nothing just a moment ago. As expected of the Grand Line..."

At this moment, Usopp and the others also noticed the anomaly in their surroundings.

A thin mist rose over the sea, reducing visibility and dimming the light.

Zoro jumped down from the watchtower, looking ahead with some confusion:

"I see... the outline of an island deep in the mist ahead?"

"An island?" Nami glanced at the Log Pose on her wrist and shook her head.

"Something's not right. This isn't Water Seven, so how come there's an island here?"

Before they could figure it out, the outline of the island ahead gradually became clear.

This is a small island. The harbor on the coast is dilapidated and desolate, and the ancient city walls are covered with mottled marks.

"How can this be?"

Nami quickly ran to the railing of the boat, glanced at the water below, and then looked at the island in front of her.

She exclaimed in disbelief, "That island ahead seems to be moving towards us? It looks like an island adrift at sea?"

Luffy's ears twitched, and an excited smile appeared on his face:

"That sounds interesting, let's go ashore and take a look!"

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

Deep within the terrifying three-masted ship.

In the upper floors of the Gothic castle, shipwright Tom, holding a cup of coffee, looks down at the terrifying three-masted sailing ship below from the upper windowsill.

"This is truly an extraordinary ship."

Tom exclaimed in admiration:

"The ship carries an entire island and can float on the sea instead of sinking, all thanks to three enormous sails... It's a miracle that such a ship doesn't sink and can be propelled by its sails..."

"But now, it's an even better ship."

The castle's long chimneys emitted a faint rumbling sound, trembling as they continuously sprayed water mist outwards, which diffused around and turned into a faint wisp of fog.

"It's a pity that the sailing speed has to be kept down, otherwise the fog-making device will not be able to keep up with the speed, and without the cover of fog, this overly large ship will be exposed immediately."

Tom pondered, scribbling on the paper as he did so.

The fact that the Sea Mountain Bandits were able to remain hidden from the sight of the world and the Navy for the past decade was not entirely due to the perpetual fog over the Devil's Triangle.

Suddenly, a thought struck him. On the surveillance footage transmitted by the video Den Den Mushi, he saw the Straw Hat Pirates who had just landed on the island, as well as the Going Merry docked on the shore.

"Looks like a rookie pirate crew... It seems the bandit group is about to grow stronger again?" he muttered to himself.

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

at the same time.

On the other side of this sea, a large fleet is also sailing.

This fleet, carried by enormous sea snails, is the Sea Snail Fleet of the Germa Kingdom, and it is also heading towards the misty region.

Chapter 1057 Chainsaw Man

The Straw Hat Pirates landed on the shore and headed deeper into the dilapidated buildings.

A thin mist hung in the air, limiting their visibility, and they remained cautious at first.

Before long, the outline of a town gradually appeared in the distance. The town's houses were neat and orderly, and there was a constant stream of pedestrians. It looked like an ordinary small town.

"It looks like a normal town."

Nami breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking forward on her own: "I wonder if there's a place in town where we can deal with the gold we have."

But Zoro stood in front of her, raising his hand to stop her from advancing.

"An ordinary town? Although it's still far away, it doesn't look ordinary at all."

Zoro smiled faintly.

"Those people in front are a bit too robust."
