Chapter 280: I Would Not Fear That Navy

The latter half of the New World seas.

The long night stretched on, with bright moonlight like silver radiance sprinkling across the deck of the Donghai Dihuang.

Saint Saint Saiwen sat at the bow holding a fishing rod.

Rarely having failed to catch anything again, Saint Saint Saiwen was in high spirits, yet after receiving a phone call, he suddenly fell silent.

Inazuma has truly become a kindergarten.

First was Yamato, his future wife, whom Saint Saint Saiwen had actively snatched from the old man Kaido.

Keeping Yamato by his side to raise, lest she be raised wrongly while staying with the old man Kaido.

Next were the three Hancock sisters, rescued by Saint Saint Saiwen after being kidnapped by slave traders; Lei Li didn't care and let the three sisters follow from Hive Island to Inazuma.

Later, Moria entrusted Perona.

Dr. Olga, who creates pure gold, is now buried in research on technology in Inazuma, and has also entrusted the two-hundred-year-old loli Olga to Saint Saint Saiwen's care.

And Robin, saved from the Buster Call on Ohara.

Calculating the time, the Whitebeard Pirates should already be settled in Flower Capital, Inazuma.

Now, that guy Dragon is about to send his secretly born biological son, the protagonist of the pirate world, Luffy, to be settled within the Inazuma Realm.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ace, Captain Roger's son, and his sister-in-law Rouge will also come along.

These guys have all settled their children in Inazuma; they've made things easy for themselves.

But it has put Saint Saint Saiwen under great pressure.

Especially remembering that Imu possesses the Ura, an ancient weapon that fell from the sky and directly destroyed the Kingdom of Lulusia.

If Imu fires the Ura at Inazuma in the future, not only will Saint Saint Saiwen go mad, but Karp, Dragon, and Whitebeard will probably all go mad too.

No, Saint Saint Saiwen made a firm decision in his heart: he must absolutely prevent Vegapunk from researching the Mother Flame.

Without the Mother Flame, Imu cannot activate the Ura Uranus.

He must notify Kizaru to keep an eye on Vegapunk's movements, so that the scientist's madness does not cause Vegapunk to secretly research the Mother Flame.

Only for Imu to pick the fruit in the end.

Scientists, especially Vegapunk, who stands at the pinnacle of the pirate world, are almost synonymous with madness.

Saint Saint Saiwen cannot hope that Vegapunk will listen to advice; if it were him, he would definitely prioritize scientific research.

After sending a secret letter to Kizaru to arrange a meeting time and place for tomorrow, Saint Saint Saiwen continued to fish alone against all beings for eternity, with his back turned.

Fishing is a process of cultivating the mind and nature.

Especially in the New World seas, one might just catch a top-tier ingredient with tender meat.

Moreover, only while fishing can Saint Saint Saiwen empty his mind and fully feel: the Devil Power sealed within his fingernail.

Just like those miserable writers who are used to typing late at night, facing the temptations of the colorful world during the day, they simply don't know which one to look at.

Only when the night is deep and quiet can one calm down and type with peace of mind.

After a long time, Saint Saint Saiwen looked at the black mist swirling around his fingertips; the Devil Power left by Imu from the previously signed shallow sea contract had been completely transformed by Saint Saint Saiwen.

After returning from Elbaf.

It is time to head to the Holy Land Mary Geoise and sign a higher-level deep sea contract with Imu.

Putting away the fishing rod, Saint Saint Saiwen casually created a batch of pure gold rings and opened the system.

【Do you wish to sell ten pure gold rings at 100,000 points per ring?】

【No】

Perhaps because Saint Saint Saiwen's consignment price was as high as one million points, the system's purchase price for pure gold rings was much higher than even the Supreme Grade Great Swords.

After all, they are existences capable of extending life.

Except for the high-dimensional world, the limitation of lifespan is a dilemma that countless people must face.

Unfortunately, compared to using one million points to increase strength, buying pure gold rings is not very attractive to other users of the trading platform.

Even for Saint Saint Saiwen, if he had one million points, he would definitely prioritize increasing his strength.

Only by making one's own strength stronger can one acquire more items to earn points, and buying pure gold rings later is not too late.

After pondering for a long time, Saint Saint Saiwen decided to consider whether to lower the price after returning from Elbaf.

If he cannot persuade Harald.

Even if Saint Saint Saiwen unlocks the opportunity to consume a third Devil Fruit, he cannot forcibly consume the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type, Nidhogg Form.

Although forcibly consuming it wouldn't be a big deal; even the mighty Harald could do nothing to Saint Saint Saiwen.

But it would ultimately be breaking trust with others.

Saint Saint Saiwen does not want to miss Elbaf; the Giant Kingdom is crucial for stability on the future seas.

Overthrowing the World Government is only the first step.

After overthrowing it, how to liberate all slaves according to Saint Saint Saiwen's vision and establish a world where everyone can eat their fill will inevitably require military suppression.

As for matters further in the future, they are left to those who come after.

If Saint Saint Saiwen can manage to liberate all slaves, that would already be doing his utmost.

He is not a saint who loves the world; he simply does not want to see future children going hungry often, just like he did when he was young.

Each generation has its own things to do.

It cannot be that Saint Saint Saiwen does everything; otherwise, how boring would this sea become?

Saint Saint Saiwen yawned, instantly flashed back to the captain's room, and lay in the bathtub leisurely soaking.

Almost at the same time.

New World, Dressrosa.

Onigashima, the Beasts Pirates' main base.

Kaido sat cross-legged on a cushion, looking at the old woman Charlotte Lingling opposite him, who seemed to have lost some weight.

"Sihuangtong Alliance?"

"What kind of joke is this? When have I, Kaido, ever needed to form an alliance with others?"

Kaido clearly still held a grudge against Charlotte Lingling for rejecting the alliance to deal with the Morning Star Group two years ago.

Precisely because Charlotte Lingling refused, the Beasts Pirates were driven out of Wano like homeless dogs by the Morning Star Group, while Charlotte Lingling and the Whole Cake Island remained unaffected.

As for Charlotte Lingling often calling Kaido 'good little brother,' that sounds better than it actually is.

When it truly matters, she still proves unreliable.

If it weren't for Vergo's quick thinking, kidnapping Doflamingo the brat from the North Blue, the Beasts Pirates might not even have a single patch of territory left now.

Now that the Marine Headquarters has moved to the New World, and Charlotte Lingling wants to cooperate and form an alliance, there's no such good fortune.

"Kaido, this is beneficial for both of us."

Kaido cut her off directly.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"I'd rather jump off the Sky Island and die from the fall than ever form an alliance with you. If the Marines have the guts, let them attack Dressrosa."

"Who do you think I am?"

"Do you think I fear the Marines?!"

Charlotte Lingling was about to explode in rage, but remembering the advice Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen had given her earlier, she changed her approach and rephrased.

"Here's the situation, Kaido."

"Sister, Whitebeard, and Shiki are preparing to cause a huge disturbance at the new Marine Headquarters in Marineford. As former allies, will you join us?"

"Give Sister a definite answer."

Hearing this, Kaido's interest was piqued.

If he hadn't been defeated by Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, Kaido might have already begun forging his title as the strongest creature on land, sea, and air.

It was precisely the experience of losing to Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen that made Kaido too ashamed to continue pursuing that path.

In the past, he had wanted to cause a major disturbance at the Marine Headquarters to establish the name of Beasts Kaido.

He simply hesitated due to the overwhelming numbers of the Fleet Admiral, the Hero Garp, and the three Admirals, so he never truly carried it out.

Now, four Emperors causing a major disturbance at the Marine Headquarters...

"I'll go! When do we go?!"
