Chapter 204: Landing at Water 7
Who would have thought that Crocodile would also reemerge? He'd thought it would still take a few more years.
But this was fine too—made things livelier.
The corners of Jiang Qize's mouth lifted.
His forces were now slowly taking shape. Once Bege unified the underground forces of the Four Seas, his power would be fully formed. That day wouldn't be far off.
"Captain, the next island is Water 7."
Camon came to his side and said.
"Mm. We'll land at Water 7."
Jiang Qize nodded.
"Yes."
At this time, Tom was still on Water 7, still working for the World Government on the Sea Train project.
His target was Tom.
Of course… not for the Pluton blueprints in Tom's possession. He didn't need that. The Dragonflame was no worse than Pluton already, and with Bawang around, it would only get better.
What he wanted was Tom's ability. The Sea Train would be useful to him—after all, this world was still centered on the sea.
In the future, his territory wouldn't be limited to just a single island.
…
Soon, a few hours later.
A massive blue "castle" came into view. Water 7 looked like a mountain-shaped island, with the city itself standing atop it like a fortress.
On every blue rooftop, silver-white light flickered, dazzling like diamonds.
At the very bottom of the "castle" was a huge dock, where merchant ships and pirate ships were moored one after another.
"It's the Dragonflame Pirates…"
"So this is the Dragonflame Pirates with a 10-billion bounty? This ship is way too domineering!"
"I want to join the Dragonflame Pirates…"
"You're saying that in front of your captain—are you trying to die…"
Captain: "I want to join too!!"
"..."
Many pirates stared at the approaching Dragonflame, eyes wide and shining.
"They're great pirates…"
"Why would great pirates come here?!"
"They won't slaughter the whole city, will they? I heard great pirates are all very cruel."
"The newspapers don't seem to report the Dragonflame Pirates massacring villages or killing civilians. They're probably just stopping by…"
"Hopefully. Otherwise we're all done for."
"We should finish our business and leave as fast as possible."
People on some merchant ships watched in terror, their hearts pounding.
Although Water 7 had Marines stationed there, they also knew that in the Grand Line, pirates ruled the seas. The Marines here wouldn't provoke great pirates—they weren't fools.
Weng!!
The massive Dragonflame docked at the pier.
Compared to it, the surrounding ships were like ants beside an elephant.
Combined with its metal hull, it gave everyone an overwhelming sense of pressure.
"You guys go have fun. Buy whatever you want."
"Captain's generous…"
"I'm going to buy ingredients."
"I'll get some books and clothes."
Buch and the others laughed happily.
They disemBuckd.
Merchants and pirates around them all stood at a distance, watching—some with admiration, others with fear.
"That's the War Demon Wyper. His tattoos are so cool…"
"The one next to him is Fire Mantis…"
"And that's Devourer Camon—what's on his body… it looks terrifying."
"Summoner Ze is so handsome. His hair is actually silver."
Exclamations rang out one after another.
Camon and the others were immensely proud, each with a smile on their face.
As for Jiang Qize, once he entered the streets, he separated from them.
He bought a map of Water 7.
"To Tom's Shipyard."
He rented a Bull— a Yagara Bull.
"Moo~"
He sat atop the Yagara Bull. It let out a cry, then rapidly pulled the small boat behind it, charging forward through the crisscrossing waterways.
