A similar scene takes place on several pirate ships.

Someone resisted the temptation of treasure and set sail for the sniper island, which had been flattened.

When they moved, how could the rest of the pirates who were still hesitating and waiting to see continue to be patient.

It's late, but I can't even catch the hot mouth.

They're outlaws with their heads pinned to their belts.

For the sake of treasure, what is it to take a risk?

On the warship, Peach Rabbit looked at the direction of Sniper Island with a telescope and a satisfied smile on his face.

"Those idiots did it!"

Just do it, and the rest will be easy.

Even if they found out that Barrett was still alive, it would be too late to retreat.

All they had to do was wait, and when Barrett ran out of energy, they would go over and clean up the pieces.

……

At the same time, West Sea O'Hara.

On a burned and burned island, Vegapunk, who wants to mourn Dr. Shamrock, meets a dragon who came here earlier.

Long has been traveling the world in the past two years since he said goodbye to Kozaburo and a book of rice in the East China Sea.

He has seen a lot, done a lot, and experienced a lot.

But he couldn't see through, he couldn't understand.

After experiencing confusion, anger, disappointment, and hope, he finally saw the future in O'Hara.

"It is only a matter of putting forward opinions on the 'unreasonableness' that has been dubbed the law, and this group of scholars who have no power to resist has been subjected to such a degree of violent repression!"

"There is only one way to prevent similar things from happening again!"

The dragon's face showed a look of determination: "I want to build an army that can really fight!" ”

Hearing the dragon's words, Vegapunk was also stunned: "Aren't you the one who hates war the most?" ”

The resolute look on the dragon's face did not waver in the slightest: "Someone has to take this step, so why can't it be me." ”

"Begapunk, you see, I'm going to change the world!"

An army capable of real combat!

Vegapunk already knows what the dragon is up to.

At the same time, he knows how difficult it is to achieve this goal.

The dragon's strength and ambition amazed even Vegapunk.

Is the man who once only knew how to protect finally show his sharp minions!

"I used to say that we have a common enemy."

"But you should also know that even with my wisdom and technology, I can't make anything in your poor ghost army."

Vegapunk spoke as mercilessly as ever.

But there was nothing wrong with what he said.

The dragon was too poor to use his wits and skills.

"But since you're going to take this step, I'm going to have to give you some gifts to show you."

Vegapunk said and took out a few things: "I was going to destroy these failed items, so I'll give them to you now, and as for how to use them, you can decide for yourself." ”

The dragon looked at what Vegapunk took out and was a little surprised: "This is a devil fruit?" But it's not the same, and the pattern doesn't seem quite right. ”

Vegapunk said, "This is my most recent research direction, artificial devil fruits. ”

"This is the dog fruit and fox form, this is the snake snake fruit, this is the pig fruit, and this is the bear fruit......

"Although they are all failures, this is my research on the application of bloodline factors at the level of Devil Fruits, and if I study them thoroughly, I should be able to avoid many detours."

Vegapunk didn't just give the dragon a simple artificial Devil Fruit, he gave the dragon the research results of one of the application directions of the bloodline factor.

……

Sniper Island.

When the smoke of the war cleared, Ichimatsu and others landed on the island again.

Sniper Island, which was almost flush with the sea, is now completely sunken except for the surrounding area, which is still flush with the sea.

Countless corpses are scattered here, covering almost the entire island.

And in the lowest part of the middle, Barrett, exhausted, lay in the small lake that had formed as it flowed in.

At this point, Barrett was finally arrested.

Until Barrett was captured, Karp did not show up.

Because Karp meets Shanks on the road.

Karp didn't expect to meet Shanks at sea.

Even if he hadn't seen him for years, even if Shanks had grown up from that little ghost back then, Karp still recognized him at a glance.

Because he looked too much like his father.

"Hero Karp!"

Like Karp, Shanks didn't expect to meet Karp.

The last time I saw Karp, I was captured by him with the captain.

It's just that after seeing each other twice, Shanks's mentality has changed dramatically.

When I saw Karp before, he was just scared.

This mighty sailor was a nightmare for him and Bucky for a long time.

The existence of being scared to wake up when you fall asleep.

But now that he saw Karp, his mind was indeed extremely complicated.

"Oh, the red-haired imp on Roger's boat."

Karp said casually.

"Roger!"

"Is that young man a member of Roger's Pirates?"

"Since he's a member of Roger's Pirates, you can't let him go!"

……

When the sailors on the warship heard Karp's words, they immediately became nervous.

Karp waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, this little ghost has just been on the ship for a while." ”

"And he doesn't even have a bounty, let alone a hunt list."

Bounty!

Karp's words stabbed Shanks in the soft underbelly.

"Hey! I'm not just a little ghost who has been around for a while! I'm official...... Full-fledged trainee crew! ”

Karp turned and motioned to continue sailing, leaving Shanks alone.

"Leave him alone, he hasn't been to Ralph Drew."

Shanks was even more annoyed and shouted, "Just because I haven't been there doesn't mean I don't know anything!" The captain told me that I was ......."

If it were someone else, Shanks would definitely not lose his cool so much.

But Karp is different.

Click! Click! Click!

Before Shanks could finish speaking, Karp had already turned around and looked at Shanks with an unkind face, clicking his joints.

"Imp, let me hear what you know!"

As he spoke, Karp punched the cannon on the warship and took out a shell from it.

Seeing the cannonball in Karp's hand, Shanks instantly calmed down.

He'd seen Karp throw cannonballs with his bare hands.

The speed and power of the thrown shells were even greater than those fired by the main guns of warships.

"You...... Are you crazy! ”

Shanks jumped up in fright, quickly picked up the oars and began to run wildly.

"It's so easy to get up and run now!"

Karp said as he thought about the cannonball in his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the cannonball out.

Fist Bone Meteorite!

Bang!

The shell exploded not far from Shanks.

The shock wave from the explosion turned out to set off a tsunami.

Tens of meters high waves crashed towards Shanks's boat.

"Monsters!" Shanks was terrified and tried his best to stabilize the boat so that it would not be overturned by the waves.

Monsters indeed.

An ordinary shell got into the hands of Karp and simply became a weapon of mass destruction.

The air currents from the explosion were even capable of traveling tens of nautical miles away.

Such exaggerated power is simply incredible!
