Chapter 103: Remnants of the Fallen Island

Above Honeycomb Island, the Eastern Sea Emperor.

Honeycomb Island

Saint Saint Saiwen stood on the dragon-shaped prow, eyeing the massive skull-shaped structure at the island's center, and inexplicably recalled Kapsen Sai charging Honeycomb Island alone.

Not only was he defeated and frozen by one apprentice, but he was also bet away in the New World by another treacherous disciple.

How could it be anything but utterly tragic?

No wonder Warhammer Sister, even after traveling to the Warhammer world, still couldn't forget the bounty-hunting king.

The bounty-hunting king is indeed a beast; if he has the guts, go stop Blackbeard's dream!

But Saint Saint Saiwen's arrival at Honeycomb Island this time was different; little Wang Zhi was nothing, with only one outcome: being crushed by the Morning Star Pirates.

To prevent remnants of the former dynasty from escaping and leaving trouble, Saint Saint Saiwen willed it, and in an instant, countless thunderbolts descended from the sky, completely sealing off the entire island.

"Senior Shi Ji."

"How does it feel to revisit this place?"

Golden Lion chuckled twice.

"Hehahahaha, what is there to miss? End the battle quickly; I still need to gather the old members of the Flying Pirates."

Golden Lion's obsession with his old crew was actually a desire for more authority.

Golden Lion accepted Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen as captain, after all, he couldn't win a fight nor outlast him, and the other party possessed all sorts of miraculous methods.

Staying with the Morning Star Pirates, perhaps one day he could obtain the legendary immortality.

But on what grounds should Mihawk be the first mate?

Just because Mihawk knew Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen earlier? What a joke; he, Golden Lion, knew Rocks and Luo Jie!

As for the methods Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen had just displayed, Golden Lion, though still smiling on the surface, was inwardly amazed—

He had developed the Goro Goro no Mi to This Level of Cultivation, gathering nearly solidified thunderbolts into a prison, instantly locking down the entire island.

Flowing on the surface of the semi-circular thunder prison was liquidified thunder.

All pirates on Honeycomb Island, including Wang Zhi, had at this moment become lambs awaiting slaughter, waiting for the judgment brought by the Morning Star Pirates.

Force your way through? Dare to try.

Once the two ships landed on the sea surface and dropped anchor to secure themselves, Saint Saint Saiwen drew his sword Mengxiang Yixin and pointed it at Honeycomb Island.

"Leave not a single one; judge them all!"

Regarding the judgment Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen spoke of, Golden Lion couldn't help but think internally: Just kill them, why speak so grandly?

Why did Saint Saint Saiwen insist on judging them all?

Because history tells us that remnants of the former dynasty truly cannot be left; you never know if someone will one day cause trouble under the banner of restoration.

The pirates who submitted to Wang Zhi, whether out of genuine heart or forced by circumstances, had already been marked by Wang Zhi.

Saint Saint Saiwen did not want to unite such a group of pirates.

Devil Fruits in the New World might be hard to find, but there are plenty of breathing pirates; why leave a hidden trouble to cause problems for oneself in the future?

Starting from Saint Saint Saiwen, red-black Haki rushed like a galloping thunderbolt, sweeping over the entire Honeycomb Island in an instant.

In just a single glance, when Saint Saint Saiwen led the entire Morning Star Pirates to descend upon Honeycomb Island, only four people, including Wang Zhi, remained standing on the island.

"What a failure," Saint Saint Saiwen sighed.

"There are still four unharmed."

Saint Saint Saiwen's Conqueror's Haki could be called a quality inspector for the strong; those who couldn't withstand the Haki's intimidation and fell were undoubtedly low-level pirates.

Those who could still withstand the Haki without falling were at least equal in strength to a Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral or above.

With Saint Saint Saiwen as the central axis, on the right were Mihawk, the giant Kuma carrying Jin Ni on his shoulder, and Yuzhi Xiliu; on the left were Golden Lion and Master Tenghu.

Standing behind them were the four giants over twenty meters tall: Dorry, Brogy, Oimo, and Kashi, grinning with wide mouths full of big white teeth.

Though there were only eleven people, the pressure they brought was heavy as a mountain and deep as an abyss, making people unable to breathe.

Wang Zhi's throat moved, and he smiled awkwardly.

"Captain Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, I surrender."

This brat Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen truly respected him, Wang Zhi, to send out eleven crew members.

Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, only a fool would fight to the death; why die when one can live?

"An Emperor of the Sea like you surely needs a pirate like me, who is well-connected, to build good relationships with various factions."

"And I, Wang Zhi, have lived for so many years; let alone the major pirates of the New World, even the Celestial Dragons of the World Government, I can speak with all of them."

Having once used Rocks' wife and child as a token to establish a relationship with the World Government, Wang Zhi believed he must still have value for Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen.

As long as there is value, there is a chance to stabilize the other party and save one's life, considering escape later.

Perhaps one could even avenge past grievances.

Finding that Saint Saint Saiwen remained unmoved, Wang Zhi simply gritted his teeth and continued speaking.

"There are treasures I have collected over many years on Honeycomb Island; they are all yours now, and I will be loyal to you from now on."

Seemingly moved, Saint Saint Saiwen smiled, sheathed his sword Mengxiang Yixin, and tucked it into his waist.

Seeing this, Wang Zhi was overjoyed.

However, the joy of surviving a desperate situation lasted only an instant before he heard Saint Saint Saiwen's disdainful voice.

"For you to still be a great pirate."

"You are utterly foolish; killing you, the entire Honeycomb Island becomes mine."

"Senior Shi Ji, I leave it to you."

For scum like Wang Zhi, who betrayed his boss, sold his boss's wife and child to the World Government, and killed members within his own pirate crew, Saint Saint Saiwen would be mad to want him.

To still want someone known to be a traitor unless they can bring huge convenience and benefits.

Obviously, Wang Zhi, a remnant of the old era who had occupied Honeycomb Island for many years, did not meet the above conditions, and the sight of Wang Zhi sticking out his forked tongue was too disgusting.

Saint Saint Saiwen dislikes disgusting trash.

You can be ugly with character, ugly enough to make people laugh heartily, but you absolutely cannot come out and disgust people.

Besides, the Morning Star Pirates currently have an unstable factor: Shiki is here.

Wang Zhi? Go lie down wherever it's cool.

Shiki chuckled, gripping his twin blades tightly, and walked forward step by step. After regaining his legs, he found he preferred walking over flying.

Wang Zhi still reached out his hand, unwilling to give up.

"Wait, wait! Shi Ji, do you remember? I even treated you to a meal back in the day?"

"Jehahaha~"

Shiki threw his head back and laughed loudly. Just as he was about to open his mouth to mock the old friend, he was ambushed by the combined efforts of Wang Zhi and the other three, sent flying into the sky.

Wang Zhi stuck out his forked tongue.

"You old thing living under someone else's roof, I see you're getting worse the longer you live."

"Shiki? You might as well change your name to Lion Dog, hehehehehe~"

Before Shiki could explode, Saint Saint Saiwen spoke: "Mihawk, Mr. Tenghu, Xiliu, kill them."

Since setting sail, they had encountered strong enemies several times, mostly faced by Saint Saint Saiwen alone; now it was time for the crew to fully exert themselves.

"As you wish, Captain."

Mihawk, Tenghu, and Xiliu, with perfect understanding, each chose an opponent, leaving Wang Zhi for the furious Shiki.

Wang Zhi's words just then had happened to touch the one thing Shiki least wanted revealed—his reverse scale: as a legendary pirate, he had actually joined the Morning Star Pirates founded by a junior pirate.

Shiki entered a state of rage, fighting to the death with Wang Zhi who was desperately struggling for a chance to survive.

Such mocking words, even if Saint Saint Saiwen could stop Wang Zhi from speaking them, there are countless pirates on the sea like fish crossing a river.

One cannot make everyone shut up, can one?

If Shiki cannot pass this test, it is simply a parting of good terms; but if Shiki remains loyal and unswerving, Saint Saint Saiwen will certainly treat Shiki as a comrade.

Enjoying the pirates' benefits equally.

Before long, Wang Zhi's two trusted aides were successively killed by Mihawk and Tenghu.

Only the last trusted aide, though Xiliu took some time and sustained injuries, was successfully beheaded.

Finally, Shiki, in his prime state unaffected by the lack of a rudder, decisively killed Wang Zhi.

"Little brat, if your hands and feet were half as skilled as your mouth, you wouldn't have been stuck on Honeycomb Island for so many years achieving nothing."

Shiki had just hung his sword at his waist when the next scene he saw made his eyes twitch violently.

He saw—

Saint Saint Saiwen, holding the Plasma Sword, first sliced off Wang Zhi's head, then stabbed his heart more than ten times, and then stabbed the other side of his chest.

He even explained with a smile.

"Some people's hearts grow on the right side."

After doing all this, Saint Saint Saiwen shouted in the direction of the Donghai Dihuang.

"Thatch, bring down the lovely one to work."

"Mr. Tenghu, please move Wang Zhi's subordinates together; I need to take some photos."

That fellow Morgans controls the public voice, and since there is no conflict of interest with Saint Saint Saiwen, it is very necessary to establish a friendly cooperative relationship.

The news previously published about Saint Saint Saiwen consuming the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, had already solved a huge hidden danger for Saint Saint Saiwen.

Otherwise, what the Five Elders would send afterwards would not be Kizaru, who specially gifted the Age-Age Fruit, but all the Navy's high-end combat power and the God's Knights—

To eradicate the Lunarian bloodline root and branch.

"Dorry Brogy, the four of you, work hard and give the pirates on the island a quick death."

"Yes, Captain."

When Morgans received several fax photos, a smile named excitement immediately spread across his lips.

"As expected of you, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen."

"You tricked everyone."

Although he felt somewhat disappointed at not seeing the two Emperors of the Sea clash, Morgans understood that Honeycomb Island was the safest choice for the Morning Star Pirates.

Morgans suddenly realized,

perhaps immense strength was just the most unremarkable virtue of Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, while his calm and composed mind was completely ignored by the world.

Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen neither tore up his relationship with the World Government completely like the Rocks Pirates,

nor collected the Poneglyphs and headed for the final island, Laugh Tale, like the Luo Jie Pirates.

It was as if...

he always knew the most correct answer.

"Luo Jie, what kind of monster did you raise?"
