On the foredeck of the Shadow, in the southeast corner of the waters around Gaya Island, the Great Route.

Sweaty Kalifa had just finished her daily six-style training, and was slowly sucking a glass of blue juice made from unknown fruits.

Feeling the gentle sea breeze blowing in your face, and the sound of rolling waves echoing in your ears, Kalifa's slender figure leaning against the guardrail on the foredeck of the Phantom is a beautiful landscape painting.

If Gabra saw this scene, he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and he would rush up to confess to Kalifa in minutes.

It's a pity that it is not difficult to see from the eyes of Kalifa, who were supposed to be as bright as the stars, but who are slightly blank at the moment, that she seems to be in a fugue and has not paid attention to the beautiful scenery in front of her.

“…… Kalifa? Kalifa! ”

Khalifa, who was in a fugue for too little, was suddenly awakened by a voice in her ears.

She looked intently and realized that Kaku and Bruno had walked up to her at some point. It seems that the person who just called her should be Kaku.

"Huh? What's wrong with Kaku? Can I help you? Kalifa pushed her glasses and asked, slightly puzzled.

Kaku, who looked mature, but was actually a few months younger than Kalifa, coughed lightly, and then said, "The old man called you a lot, and I didn't see you react?" Why, looking at your appearance, if the old man guessed correctly, you should be thinking about Tesla? ”

"Poof!" Bruno, who had just picked up the glass in his hand and had just taken a sip of wine, couldn't control himself for a moment after hearing Kaku's words, and squirted the wine in his mouth straight ahead.

Fortunately, he was facing the sea at the moment, so it was nothing.

On the contrary, it was Kalifa, who was teased by Kaku, and a red cloud appeared on her white and delicate and smooth face in an instant, obviously being touched by the former, but she did not respond shyly:

"Do you need to guess that? I do miss Tesla, but I don't know how he's doing with Vermeeu now? The Golden Lion Shiki is a very formidable opponent! ”

At the mention of the Golden Lion Shiki, the original joyful atmosphere full of youthful enthusiasm disappeared in an instant, and whether it was Kaku or Bruno, or Kalifa, who mentioned the name himself, they all fell silent.

Tesla is strong, they know that very well.

But this time, his opponent is an even more terrifying existence!

If it is said that before knowing this mission, the ordinary members of CP9 still knew and understood the Golden Lion Shiji in the concept of "the only pirate in history who successfully escaped from prison in the city", then after nearly a year of collecting and analyzing the past intelligence of the Golden Lion Shiji, CP9 people may have a more thorough understanding of the Golden Lion Shiji than himself!

It is precisely because the understanding of Golden Lion Shiki has become so comprehensive and profound, so whether it is Kalifa or Kaku, they are still worried about Tesla on the premise of knowing that Tesla has terrifying power far beyond their imagination.

Because of the opponent of the Golden Lion Shiji, he is too terrifying and powerful!

So powerful that even with their knowledge of Tesla's prowess and sheer prowess, they have to worry about it.

Golden Lion Shiji, that's the One Piece Emperor who can be said to be on a par with Whitebeard, and his strength is far above that of ordinary admirals in the Navy!

Such an existence, even if the strength is weakened due to injury, at worst, it still retains the combat power of the peak admiral level.

Thinking of this stubble, the faces of everyone present became more and more ugly.

It's not that Tesla is weak, it's just that the opponent is too strong!

"Old ......" Kaku's mantra had just finished when he was interrupted by a huge shadow that suddenly fell over the Shadow's head!

CP9 everyone subconsciously looked up, and when they saw the real body of the shadow above, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

And at this moment, Lucky, who sensed that something was wrong in the cabin, also rushed out quickly with the pigeon Hadoli.

In the same way, he saw the great shadow above his head!

The true body of the shadow is a huge floating ship that is many times larger than the Phantom.

Although they couldn't see the flag on the ship because of the angle, it didn't stop them from guessing who the owner of the giant ship was!

"Golden Lion: Shiki!"

This is the first answer that comes to the mind of everyone at CP9.

Almost at the same time, a sudden burst of eerie laughter came from above their heads:

"Haha!"

"Where are your navigators?"

"My Golden Lion Shiji, accept it!"

With these domineering words, a huge and strange figure fell from the sky and appeared in front of the CP9 people on the foredeck of the Phantom.

The ultimate goal of Tesla's mission, One Piece King Golden Lion Shiki, is here!

……

At the same time, I don't know if it's because the aborigines of Vermeio Island are all kind by nature, or because the little girl herself is not too guarded, all in all, after some simple communication that is not difficult or even very simple, Tesla successfully gained the initial trust of the little girl named "Aki" and "Vera" in front of him.

However, a piece of information from the mouths of Yaqi and Vera made Tesla frown and fall into deep thought.

After thinking for about 10 seconds, Tesla, who was squatting down, gently stroked the heads of the two little girls in front of him and said slowly:

"In other words, both Aki and Vera's father were taken on his ship by the Golden Lion Shiki, and it wasn't some mountain base?"

Yaqi seems to be a little uncomfortable, but Vera seems to enjoy Tesla's touch.

After hearing Tesla's question, Vera, who was originally shy, actually took the initiative to speak in a crisp young girl's voice: "Well, not only Yaqi and Vera's father, but all the adult men in the village were taken to that huge ship by that bad pirate. Now there are only grandmothers, mothers, and children like us left in the village! The reason why Aki and I sneak out of 'Dzft Green' is to come out and pick some fruit, so that it can help our mothers lighten their burden. ”

Although he had long known from the anime that the aborigines of Vermeio Island lived a very miserable life under the rule of the Golden Lion Shiki, Tesla never expected that the reality was even more cruel than the anime, and it was necessary for little girls like Yaqi and Vera to sneak out of the reserve to forage for food.

"Vera ......" Yaqi, a little girl with a cute ponytail, couldn't help but be a little nervous when she saw that her little friend had told Tesla everything, and subconsciously pulled Vera's sleeve.

This action naturally can't hide Tesla's eyes.

However, to deal with little Lori, especially this sensible and very obedient and cute, Tesla said that he has a lot of experience!

After all, the little buds he faced at the beginning were far more difficult to deal with than these two little Lori.

"Well, have you found any fruit to eat?" Tesla asked suddenly.

The two cute little Lori nodded at the same time, but then their faces showed disappointment and regret, and finally Yaqi, who was wearing a ponytail, said: "I found it, but the tree is too high, and there is a big wild pig nearby, we don't dare to go over...... The big wild pig is amazing, Dad, they didn't dare to mess with it when they were there! ”

Hearing Yaqi's words, Tesla smiled on his face: "Brother, I'm very powerful, do you remember that mammoth beast just now?" That's what my brother caught! If it weren't for the fact that I didn't know who you two were at the time, I could have brought it to you as a greeting gift. But it doesn't matter now, you just have to take me to the big wild pig. I'll take care of the rest! ”

It seems that because of the reason why they saw Tesla jump off the mammoth beast with their own eyes, Aki and Vera did not have any doubts about Tesla's words.

So after Tesla spoke, perhaps because of the desire for food, Aki and Vera, without the slightest hesitation, took Tesla straight to the place where they had just found the fruit and the big pig.

It turns out that in the eyes of Yaqi and Vera, the fierce beast Big Wild Pig is very terrifying, and he can't even resist the evil qi released by Tesla, so he was scared to death!

This makes Tesla a little regretful.

After all, none of the big guys he had met before would not be able to resist his evil spirit, so the soul energy he absorbed was not cheap.

What is like the so-called big wild pig in front of you......

Fight five scum one!

The big wild pig that was regarded as an invincible monster by Lori became Tesla's greeting gift, and of course, the fruit on the tree was no exception.

Even if it was the two little Loli who were stunned by the windfall, they looked at the huge big wild pig, and looked at the fruit that was stuffed with a backpack by them, and there were tears in their eyes:

"Brother, this big pig is so big, we can't take it back! But, but we haven't eaten meat in a long time! ”

"Woo......"

It is said that women are made of water, and girls are no exception.

Before Tesla could react to what was happening, the tears of the two little Loli began to drip with lightning speed, which made people feel pity and distress when they saw it.

"Yaqi, Vera, you can rest assured, this big wild pig is a gift from your brother to you, and will naturally be responsible for bringing it to your village. Well, don't cry, it's not cute to cry! ”

Tesla, who couldn't see girls crying the most, especially little Lori, couldn't cry or laugh at the moment, and hurriedly made a promise to the two little Lori.

The two little Lori, who had already been conquered by Tesla's performance, were even more excited when they saw Tesla's promise of a big package, and they couldn't even speak.

Looking at the two little Loli in front of him who were similar to the original little buds, Tesla shrugged, and then with a cushion of his toes, a hook, and the huge body of the big wild pig instantly rose into the air!

Then Tesla, under the dumbfounded gaze of the two little Lori, easily held the huge body of the big wild pig with his left hand, and said: "Yaqi, Vera, don't be stupid, hurry up and lead the way!" ”

The two little Lori, who had just reacted, hurriedly rushed to the direction of the village with Tesla.

……

Maybe it's because of the proof of the two little Lori, Agi and Vera, or maybe it's because of the meeting gift brought by Tesla, or maybe even because of the innate kindness of the natives on the island of Vermeeu, anyway, Tesla was quickly accepted by everyone in the village.

After entering the village, Tesla learned that it was not that there was no meat in the village, on the contrary, there were many kinds of domestic animals in the village.

It's just painful that as a villager who keeps livestock, he is not qualified to eat them!

These domestic animals are all tributes to the Golden Lion Shiji Flying Sky Pirates!

As Tesla expected, although Aki and Vera were not harmed, they were slapped in the face by their respective mothers.

Obviously, even though they brought back food and guests, they violated the rules of the village.

Looking at the two little Loli with tears in their eyes, Tesla was very distressed, but he couldn't make a sound.

After all, this is someone else's business, not to mention, following the rules is a very good quality in itself......

Fortunately, Aki and Vera's mother just let these two bold little Lori understand what to do and what not to do, so except for the first slap, they didn't punish them.

On the contrary, Tesla, who was treated as a VIP, not only failed to enjoy the VIP treatment, but even had to make a cameo appearance as a butcher, a part-time job that he hadn't touched for a long time......

Of course, looking at the huge body of the big wild pig and the thin bodies of the surrounding villagers, Tesla knew that this was also a forced choice.

After all, it was a shame to let these women who looked so weak use kitchen knives to chop the giant beast in front of them.

So, Tesla had to make another cameo appearance as a butcher.

This time it's the real pig butcher, not the "pirate butcher" who terrifies all pirates in the North Sea.

Slaughtering, no, to be precise, it should be that it is not difficult for Tesla to divide this big wild pig.

casually borrowed a kitchen knife, covered it with armed color, and then Tesla's figure flashed, and in less than a minute, the huge big barbarian pig turned into countless pieces of minced meat.

After stuffing the kitchen knife in his hand back into the hand of the village woman who had not yet reacted, Tesla had just a smile on his face, and he was about to speak, when his eyes suddenly froze and became extremely serious.

Immediately after, a strange voice suddenly came from above:

"Hahahahaha I didn't expect to meet such an interesting imp here, no matter how you appeared here, as far as the strength you just showed, I like it very much, how about it, do you want to be my subordinate? Hahahaha ”

With this strange laughter, Tesla suddenly broke into a very terrifying monster......

In fact, in addition to this monster, there are actually a lot of lives that break into Tesla's domineering, but for Tesla, the only thing he cares about is the most terrifying one!

That is, the ultimate goal of his mission:

Golden Lion: Shiki!

When the huge figure of the golden lion Shiki landed on the ground, he saw that all the villagers in the village, big and small, knelt down, and their bodies trembled.

Less than two seconds after Skey appeared, the scientists he considered to be his right and left hands: Indigo and the king of rare beasts, Scaledor (a giant orangutan), also appeared behind him.

"Heh, Golden Lion Shiki? The legs are broken, and you are still so ashamed? Tut-tut, he is worthy of being the emperor of pirates, and even the thickness of his skin is far beyond my imagination! Although Tesla knows that the Golden Lion Shiki is definitely the strongest enemy he has encountered so far (Diablo is not counted), this does not prevent him from taunting his opponents.

Strategically despising the enemy and tactically valuing the enemy has always been Tesla's best operational thinking.

However, to Tesla's surprise, hearing his ridiculous speech, Golden Lion Shiji not only did not get angry, but actually burst into laughter:

"Hahahahahahaha! The little guy is interesting, huh? Not only do you know my identity, but you even dare to provoke me? Looks like you're still pretty confident in yourself, right? Hahahaha But ......"

Shiki's eyebrows furrowed: "...... Are you sure that's the choice for you, though? When I was at sea, I happened to come across a boat, and the four little ones on board seemed to know me. So, you should be companions? Well? ”

Although Shi Ji used a question sentence, his expression was obviously a declarative sentence.

Obviously, he also guessed that the CP9 crowd of the Phantom must have a strong connection with Tesla, who suddenly appeared on the island of Vermeeu.

Hearing Shiki's words, Tesla's brows suddenly furrowed: "You're going to threaten me with them?" ”

"Huh? Threatening you? Hahahaha What are you kidding? Threatening you? Well!!! After a burst of laughter, Shiki's face became extremely hideous:

"Little ghost, what is it that gives you the courage to dare to talk to Lao Tzu like this? With you, are you qualified to let Lao Tzu threaten you? Hahahahaha ”

Then, the golden lion snapped his fingers: "Viper! ”

I saw that from the huge pirate ship in the sky, a relatively small ship emerged.

Tesla recognized it at a glance, it was the Shadow that the CP9 they were riding!

"There is only one person who can reject me, do you want to know which one?" The golden lion had a hideous expression on his face.

Tesla's brow tightened, as he noticed that on the deck of the Phantom, the CP9 crowd had fallen on it.

Seeing that Tesla didn't answer his question, Shiki was not angry, but after another weird laugh, he said slowly:

"In this world, only the dead are qualified to reject me!"

"Do you want to die?"

The atmosphere freezes instantly!
