One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

"In terms of strength, it is possible that it is close to the level of the Rocks Pirates during the God Valley period."

Kahn replied, "Impossible in any other respect!"

"Everyone says that the Rocks Pirates fight their own battles, but they are still a pirate crew that is primarily a group. The pirate alliance is just a patchwork. If it weren't for the new generation of pirates on the high seas resisting the remnants of the Rocks Pirates, they would never have been able to form an alliance."

The original Rocks Pirates should be buried in history.

But Kahn's appearance changed a lot, bringing together unruly pirates like Crocodile and Mihawk, forming a massive pirate alliance.

A pirate with a 3 billion bounty is not necessarily stronger than a pirate with a 1 billion bounty back in the day.

It's just that times are different.

What do you think of the Flying Pirates?

"The Flying Pirates? Oh, that's the pirate crew built by Shiki the Golden Lion. If I hadn't refused his invitation back then, I would have become the first mate! He's a very powerful and ambitious pirate, second only to the Pirate Alliance in influence!"

"It is said that the great pirate inherited Rocks' will and has been constantly recruiting soldiers and building a huge fleet on the sea. However, there seems to be no news of him recently."

In the tavern, the group of down-on-their-luck pirates boasted to each other and talked about all the great figures in the world, completely unaware of the two important figures nearby.

Kahn's Devil Fruit ability has reached a very high level; he can make these people see him if he wants them to, and he can even affect those around him.

At this moment, he is invisible, non-existent.

In the eyes of others.

He and Lach belong to the realm of the unobservable.

"Shiki created the Flying Fleet because he was influenced by Rocks' last moments, saying it was to surpass Rocks. Perhaps in his eyes, God Valley was the period when the Rocks Pirates were at their strongest. But in my eyes, it wasn't their most prosperous period, but rather their most chaotic and doomed period."

When Kahn talked about some things from the past, he couldn't help but sigh. Back then, Rachman hadn't joined yet, Katakuri and he hadn't made their mark, and Kaido was just an apprentice crew member.

"Brother Kahn, isn't it a bit risky to only call on Shiki and Whitebeard to ambush Roger?"

Lach worriedly said, "He'll run away. A strongman of that level is very difficult to kill... If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we'll be able to eliminate this threat again."

“I know what you’re worried about. I will bring Lena back myself.”

Kahn explained, "We'll wipe out the Roger Pirates first. If we can't kill Roger, we'll have a second chance. Roger won't seek revenge; he's about to die and needs to complete his final goal, a goal that outweighs his hatred. He'll go to great lengths to achieve it."

Based on news from the past few years.

Roger's search for the last island had reached a frenzied level, like a traveler dying of thirst in the desert seeking a final glimmer of hope to prove himself and his companions.

Kahn looked through his notes again.

This is a notebook recorded many years ago. The notebook records the Battle of Wald in the year 1495 of the Sea Calendar. The Flying Pirates fought against the Roger Pirates. In the end, due to a sudden storm, Shiki lost and was left with a ship's wheel on his head.

This battle changed Shiki's fate.

Time is approaching the year 1496 of the Haiyuan calendar.

Ten days ago, he had a conversation with Shiki, and the Battle of Wald that the Flying Pirates and Roger Pirates fought in his memory should no longer exist.

Fortunately, I had a habit of taking notes back when I was with the Rocks Pirates, otherwise I would have forgotten all of this long ago.

Kahn has been in this world for many years.

…………

"Fufufu~"

Doflamingo's eerie laughter came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Lord Kahn, why did you call me personally?"

Where is Shiki?

"Lord Shiki is not here. As you know, I was only raised by Lord Shiki. I am an abandoned Celestial Dragon. I have no idea where Lord Shiki is."

Doflamingo saw the Den Den Mushi hang up and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Shiki hasn't been back for a long time. I really hope he never comes back, so I can inherit everything from him without any problem. No, I'm not strong enough yet. It would be best if Shiki didn't die, but he can't come back either..."

…………

a few days later.

Big news broke from the ocean that Shiki had been arrested.

“Kahn, this…”

"Katakuri, don't worry, our plan remains unchanged."

Shiki's capture was unexpected, and the circumstances surrounding it are undoubtedly very complex. The World Government and the Navy Headquarters certainly have their own reasons, and they must first find out the reason for Shiki's capture. Otherwise, with the situation unclear, they will be in a very bad position.

But the plan will not change.

Let's take down Roger first!

After wiping out Roger's pirate crew, then deal with Shiki's matter.

Fate cannot be changed.

"I will use fate to defeat fate and prove that what you call fate is a loser!"

Chapter 281 War is About to Break Out

An island sustained by Shiki's power.

Inside the palace.

Doflamingo was shocked by this news.

Golden Lion Shiki has been captured! Captured by those useless Marines and the World Government... How is this possible?!

He was a traitor, but he acknowledged Shiki's strength and the strangeness of Shiki's Devil Fruit ability, and he didn't believe that anyone in the world could catch Shiki.

But when that day came, Doflamingo was first confused, then excited.

His time has come.

…………

New world.

Three major powers currently occupy this sea area.

"Dad! This is incredible! Huge news from the high seas! Golden Lion has been arrested and imprisoned!!!"

"That great pirate used to come here often, always bragging about himself, wanting to conquer the New World, and claiming that he was the most likely to reach the top after the Rocks era. And yet he was captured by the Navy and the World Government?"

"I recently read a storybook called 'Three Heroes Dominating the World,' and the characters in it were all incredibly shrewd. There was a line about starting a business... something about giving up halfway through. Isn't that similar to the boastful Golden Lion?"

"Hahaha!"

Some members of the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't help but laugh.

"Something really has happened."

After reading the contents of the newspaper in his hand, Newgate exclaimed in shock, "That bastard Shiki has been coming to my place to brag all the time these past few years. I never thought this day would come."

"What methods did the Navy Headquarters and the World Government use to capture that guy? Rocks used his unparalleled power and charisma to attract Shiki to follow him. If that bastard wanted to leave, no one should have been able to stop him."

"Dad's in a bad state."

Marco noticed something amiss and explained to the puzzled Whitebeard, "Everyone on the high seas knows that Shiki and Kahn are partners, and that Kahn refused the Five Elders' invitation. At least there's no news of Kahn going to the Holy Land, Mary Geoise."

"At this time, if they take action against Shiki, no matter what means they use to capture him, it is a provocation against another person, and the World Government should not be unaware of this."

"Aren't they busy dealing with the Revolutionary Army and the Salvation Army? Why would they suddenly attack Shiki? The Roger Pirates have also become more active lately."

"There is probably a connection between these two things."

"..."

Newgate looked at Marco with a slightly surprised expression.

His son was more outstanding than he had imagined, not only because of the potential brought by his Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit ability, but also because perhaps his dream of becoming the captain of the First Division could come true.

The Whitebeard Pirates did not have a vice-captain. The first division commanders were already the strongest fighters. Although the ranking of the commanders was not in any particular order, in Newgate's mind they were all the same, but the strongest fighter was the strongest.

Second only to himself.

"Ku~lalala!"

Newgate wasn't worried about Shiki's safety. A Devil Fruit user of that level would definitely be imprisoned in Impel Down. Otherwise, after Shiki's death, the Float-Float Fruit would be out there, and a large number of people would definitely want to fight for this once insignificant fruit.

This triggered a bloody storm.

The Navy Headquarters and the World Government are worried about the emergence of a Shiki, so they would rather imprison him in Impel Down than execute him.

He laughed heartily and said, "Something big is indeed going to happen soon. Notify the people below to be on the lookout for suspicious persons, and have all the captains come back. War may be on the horizon."

Newgate was inexplicably reminded of the Hive Sea incident three years ago.

The events of that year started with a major news story, which later triggered a series of major events. Wano Country was occupied by Kahn, and it is said that Kahn monopolized the processing technology of Seastone.

Both the sea train and the processing of sea stone are technologies valued by governments worldwide.

"The world is about to change."

Newgate gazed at the sea, his mood not as calm as he had imagined. "This era is about to go berserk."

…………

As the news of the Golden Lion's arrest and imprisonment grew, countless people on the high seas began to pay attention to it, and many noticed that the World Economic News Agency was not the first to report the news.

It is the largest news agency under the World Government.

"The six kings became five kings, and the landscape of the sea changed again."

"What does the World Government want to do?!"

"..."

Not long after.

The World Government provided an explanation, listing Shiki's various misdeeds, and announced to the world that they had always referred to the Five Kings, acknowledged the Five Kings, and did not claim to have a Six Kings.

The ocean doesn't need so many kings.

Many people agree with this view. The ocean is so vast that many people have never benefited from Shiki's territory. Without any advantages or benefits, Shiki is nothing more than a pirate in their eyes.

The world's governments have provided evidence.
