Joshua and Laffitte sailed towards to the island unhurriedly and during this time Joshua asked Laffitte a few things. From what Laffitte said it is 12 years since the Pirate King Gol . Roger died and opened the great route for pirates making it year 1512. With this Joshua able to incur that, it would be 8 years before the protagonist Luffy goes to sea to start his adventure. In addition to this, the 3 logias of the navy which are now the admirals, sit firmly in their postions and Sengoku has become the navy's fleet admiral. But that is not all ,the 4 Emperors and the 7 warlords system has already occured to maintain the balance of the sea.
When Joshua heard this he was calm withot a ripple even though Laffitte was puzzled why he asked this he didn't. Even if he did ask Joshua wouln't tell him truth just some made up lies. Regarding the time period, Joshua was not disturbed or annoyed of it, but a matter of fact it was not bad at all. If it was the time when Rocks was around he would be too old when the plot began and probably the world government would be destroyed by him already. Therefore, the time of his reincarnation is not bad which made have no emotional fluctuations.
After a brief gathering of intelligence from Laffitte, he told Joshua that they were closing on the island. The island where they are heading is called Lockfort is and the island itself was like a harber for mostly doing the manufacturing of goods. There are pirates on it who are both big and small and confrontations do happen between them often, but it was not serious like Rockbay island. In addition to pirates there was also navy they were there, in fact a navy base was stationed thereand both pirates and navy do cross fists and from this situation it can be seen how the island is in a somewhat stable area.
When Joshua was processing this information, it was like his threat signals rang out and Laffitte who was at the side of the deck opened his eyes immediately has he directly appeared before Joshua with his cane length out stopping the attack.
This.... is a sea stone bullet Laffitte said as he looked on thebullet encrypted with some rare substances.
"But where did it come from," he frowned as he looked at the bullet in his hand. There were no pirate ships around them or even navy, so the suddenly appeared bullet deepen his frown.
"From the island," Joshua who was sitting calmy like nothing happend lightly answered.
"How is this impossible," Laffitte immedaitely responded in a moderate shocked tone. His unbelieveable tone is expected because the distance from the island to where they are now is over 30 miles, for someone to shoot this all they way out here is incredible. Where is he sacred, you should know that if a big pirate group like in the New World know of such person afraid they would ask him to join them and train him because of having such amazing talents and abilities.
"Its true Joshua said as sensed more incoming bullets he lightly lifted his hand as the black flame rose from his feet his destroying them. When laffitte saw the direaction the bullets came from he wa a little shocked because it was the direction of the island they were heading to now.
"Interesting," Joshua eyes flashed as he saw this. He got up out the seat and disappeared in the air leaving the startled Laffitte. Joshua who was walking in the air by moon step dodged fast as he felt the incoming bullets coming at him at a fast p
Good speed Joshua thought. No time given him to speak as a another bullet came to him again.
"Precise," Joshua eyes light up at the corner of his cheek a little scratch appeared on his face as he dodged the bullet again.Such acurracy is a little terrifying even though Joshua is not trying his best he is still stepping in the air at a fast speed and to be able to ble to still accurately aim a is head is a little bit scary.
Good bounty hunter you have peeked my interest Joshua said as he saw the island coming into view. Yes, its a bounter hunter who is shooting at Joshua from not seeing or sensing any ship around he immediately thought it most be a bounty hunter after his head.
Chaos with a bounty of 61 million bailey is a little scary a voice came out with a little worry but excited then suddenly solemn said.
At that time on a island a distance from whereJoshua, the is the street were quirt busy as you can see people back and front going through the town to get there necessities. There sat a person on the roof of a building with one of his foot hanging of the rooftop swinging lightly. In his right had a long knife with gritty edges which gave a shrap aura constantly throwing it up in the air and catching it . The left arm of his was lengthen out which showed some terrible scars and in his hand had a gun pointing towards a certain direction.
This is the person who was shooting Joshua.
