Chapter 52 - Shiki's Move

"Admiral-sama, we found the captain of the Golden Pirates, Fred, on the sea!"

At this moment, Flying Pirates were floating in the air. Shiki chose a huge island as his pirate ship so that he could avoid being discovered by the Marines.

Although he was not afraid of the Marines, their resilience was troublesome. Before he had accumulated enough strength, Shiki wanted to avoid the World Government.

However, there might be some risks that came from bad weather because they were up high in the sky.

When he heard his subordinate's words, who was observing the sea below, he immediately recalled Fred.

"I remember that guy! He was at odds with John not long ago, right?"

John was his companion when he was in Rocks Pirates. He was also a relatively strong pirate. For Fred to survive after a conflict with John, it showed that his strength was definitely not weak.

Shiki could not help but feel interested. He flew out of the island, scanning the area with his Color of Observation Haki.

Soon, he managed to pinpoint the exact location of Fred. Fred was lying on a broKraken wooden plank. He was out of breath and seemed to be on the verge of death.

He raised his hand and directly lifted the wooden plank along with Fred. Then he grabbed Fred's body and looked at him carefully.

"It seems that the Golden Pirates was wiped out. There should be only a handful of people in the world who can do this. But..."

"If you want revenge, I'll welcome you to my crew."

Like Rocks, Shiki was a man who wanted to be the king of the world. If he wanted to achieve such a great feat, he naturally couldn't have just one ship like Roger. He needed as many men as he could get!

He casually threw Fred to one of his men behind him.

"Treat him, then ask him if he wants to join the Flying Celestial Pirates. If he refuses, kill him."

...

"KraKraken... is really hard to control."

At this moment, Genichi was also in his own territory. He could see KraKraken's movements through his 'radar'.

Jewel of Four Souls' Fragments could make Sea Kings stronger and even resurrect the deceased. However, he normally wouldn't do this before because there was no guarantee that the monsters he made stronger or revive would obey his command. However, since he now had Makima, his targets would obey him for sure.

Just like now, after using four Jewel of Four Souls' Fragments to turn the Sea King into KraKraken, Makima had already rushed over to control it.

KraKraken's movements were seen clearly by Genichi. After all, KraKraken was basically fusing with Genichi's power, so KraKraken was already in his 'radar ', so KraKraken was no longer just an ordinary monster.

To be frank, KraKraken's strength was fairly decent compared to the capable combatants in New World, and because of its huge size, its destructive power was even more terrifying.

In terms of destructive power, even ten Roger fell short to him. And most importantly, it was a Sea King!

It was much more powerful than Rocks while in sea. It could be said to be the natural enemy of most Devil Fruit users. Only Shiki that wouldn't be at a disadvantage since he could fly.

But since KraKraken was a Sea King, its IQ was definitely not as high as that of a human, and it did not have Haki.

However, its wild instinct was faintly resisting Makima's control, making it hard for her to control KraKraken.

If it only fused with one Jewel of Four Souls' Fragment, it should be very easy to control, but it would not be as powerful as it was now.

It wasn't that Makima couldn't control KraKraken, but it proved to be quite challenging.

At this moment, Kraken was heading towards the depths of the New World, and what awaited in its path was...

Roger Pirates!

Since Roger had a Jewel of Four Souls' Fragment on him, Genichi could locate him. Since Genichi wanted to cause a war that was no less intense than the battle of God's Valley, he naturally had to lure Roger.

If he didn't come, then he'd take the battle to him!

Since Kraken wanted to get to Roger as fast as possible, it didn't completely submerge in the water, bringing tsunami along with him.

As a result, some pirates saw Kraken's march, and suddenly the news of a gigantic Sea King in the New World was spread to the world.

Amidst various rumors, one of it said that the gigantic Sea King became that huge because it swallowed Jewel of Four Souls' Fragments, which quickly aroused people's interest.

"Jewel of Four Souls?"

"Did you say Jewel of Four Souls' Fragments?" Shiki said in front of Fred, who had just regained consciousness.

Fred was wrapped in bandages, and his eyes were full of fear. After hearing Shiki's words, he said weakly, "Yes, Jewel of Four Souls' Fragments. When I sank into the sea, I found that fragment in the eyes of that monster!"

In all truth, it was impossible for him to see it. How could he see a small fragment on the eyes of such a huge monster? That was just the result of Makima's memory alteration that gave him the illusion of seeing one.

"If that's the case, we can't let that monster go!" Shiki had a cigar in his mouth. He did not expect to get news of Jewel of Four Souls' Fragments so quickly.

"Hahaha! This sea is too quiet! Then, what's your answer? Join us and continue to challenge that monster with me!"

When he spoke of challenging the monster, Fred's pupils dilated as if recalling something extremely terrifying. He almost cried before saying, "No! No! I don't want to see that monster again! Let me go!"

"... "

Seeing his expression, Shiki's face instantly went grim. He turned and left the room.

"Throw him away. The sea has no need for such a spineless person!"
