"Another guy has become a devil fruit user!"
Burgess said a little sourly because he also wanted to eat a Devil Fruit, and now most of the cadres are already capable people.
But there's no Devil Fruit for him right now.
In fact, he wants a zoan devil fruit or an ability that can enhance his strength. He still likes the fist-to-flesh fighting style.
He also mentioned to Basire the Devil Fruit ability he wanted, and Basire suggested to him the Paramecia Power Fruit or Zoan Ant Fruit.
These two Devil Fruits are both suitable for a powerful tank like Burgess.
Maybe insects known for their strength, like the rhinoceros beetle might also be good for him.
Kuro chose the mantis fruit because the double blades fit his fighting style very well, and the mantis can also fly, which increases his maneuverability greatly.
After learning about this mantis fruit, he looked up a lot of information about this insect. After careful consideration, he finally decided to eat this Zoan Devil Fruit.
And the other Devil Fruit is the Zoan's duck fruit, which is kind of rubbish.
"Don't be envious, the later you eat Devil Fruit, you might be able to find better abilities."
Basire casually encouraged him. If he could defeat Blackbeard, he would be able to gain better Devil Fruit abilities in the future.
"Believe in the captain's luck."
Van Augur said calmly, as a sniper, he still doesn't know what Devil Fruit is the most suitable for him.
However, he believed in Basire's vision and destiny.
What's more, he has now obtained a flying mount, which greatly improves his safety and mobility. So obtaining a Devil Fruit is not very urgent for the time being.
"Is the information on the pirate groups affiliated to the Golden Lion Fleet ready?"
Basire asked Kuro and Lafitte. He specifically used his identity as a Shichibukai to apply for the use of Marine's information channels.
When Naval Headquarters learned that Basire was so active in dealing with Golden Lion Shiki, Sengoku was not stingy and immediately gave the Big Daddy Pirates the greatest help.
The Fleet Admiral hopes to see Basire go head-to-head with Shiki.
On the other hand, Basire also spent a lot of money to obtain some information that even Marines did not have in the hands of Big News Morgans.
Now the Big Daddy Pirates know the location information of most of the pirates who have joined the Golden Lion Fleet.
"Ready, Captain, are you ready to declare war on Golden Lion Shiki?"
Lafitte had a smile on his face, and there was a bit of madness in his eyes. The bigger the scale of this kind of war, the better. The pirates should continue to grow in fights.
If they take down Golden Lion Shiki, the Big Daddy Pirates will become a truly powerful force, becoming the leader among the Shichibukai and quickly spreading their fame all over the world.
"Start tomorrow and launch a full-scale attack!"
Basire said coldly, thinking that the worst era is coming, so the war between him and Golden Lion Shiki must be fought soon, and the war must also be started openly.
He must awaken his Conqueror's Haki!
"Clear!"
The cadres all shouted excitedly because they were about to participate in a truly large-scale war.
As a newcomer to the Big Daddy Pirates, challenge the legendary pirate of the previous era.
The Big Daddy Pirates began to fully prepare for war. The Ark Maxim went back and forth between Sky Island and the island ship several times, transporting some of Sky Island's gold and various types of dials.
Nami and the others also went to Sky Island for a long time and visited the luxurious God's Shrine and the huge golden bell. After this war, they wanted to move these to the Groseade as well.
…
The next day.
The huge island ship left the waters of Jaya Island and headed straight for the stronghold of the most important base under Golden Lion Shiki other than his flying islands.
Naval Headquarters was also actively paying attention to the island ship of the Big Daddy Pirates, and was always ready to clean up the mess and wipe out all these Golden Lion-affiliated pirate groups without leaving any tail.
Of course, if Basire loses, then unfortunately, the new Shichibukai will also be sent to Impel Down.
World government does not need the failed Shichibukai,
The underground dark emperors were also paying attention to how well Basire can compete with the veteran powerhouse that is Golden Lion Shiki.
The Shipping Magnate Umit even felt a little pity for the huge island ship of the Big Daddy Pirates. It would be great if it could be used to transport goods for him, but unfortunately, it was about to be sunk.
Because by the time Golden Lion Shiki actually uses his abilities, this island ship will definitely be destroyed.
No buildings or pirate ships can stop the attack of Golden Lion Shiki!
Even the Naval Headquarters isn't completely safe when faced with the Golden Lion Shiki's attack.
Back then, Shiki destroyed half of Marineford despite Sengoku and Garp being there to stop him.
So they don't think much of Basire, the new Shichibukai.
However, if Basire can kill all the affiliated pirate groups under Golden Lion Shiki, they will also be very happy.
Because these pirate groups who are abusing Shiki's reputation to do whatever they want are endangering their interests.
And Doflamingo is the man who most hopes that Basire will die at the hands of Shiki, because this guy actually dares to threaten him.
Even if Golden Lion Shiki cannot kill Basire, Doflamingo will continue to implement his plan and look for opportunities to kill Basire.
…
Grand Line, Lion Peak Island.
Today, there were nearly ten affiliated pirate groups under Golden Lion Shiki stationed here.
A few months ago, 43 pirate captains joined the fleet. But since Basire destroyed the recruitment meeting for the 44th captain, the Golden Lion Pirates suspended recruitment and concentrated on searching for and encircling the Big Daddy Pirates.
As a result, six or seven were killed, but Golden Lion Shiki still did not take action against Basire, which led to a slight collapse of the Golden Lion Fleet.
After Basire became the new Shichibukai, the pirate fleet became even more fragmented. There were already seven or eight veteran pirate groups who went to who knows which sea area on the pretext of looking for the Big Daddy Pirate Group, disappearing out of nowhere.
There were now more than a dozen pirate groups searching for traces of the Big Daddy Pirates everywhere on the first half of the Grand Line's seven routes, focusing on Banaro Island on the fourth route.
The rest of the pirate groups were stationed on Lion Peak Island.
"This bastard Basire ran so fast, and now they are nowhere to be seen in the waters of Alabasta or Banaro Island."
"I heard that they occupied Jaya, but soon left again. Now even the Golden Lion boss can't find them!"
On Lion Peak Island, the pirate groups who joined the Golden Lion Fleet rest here. This island is also the gathering point for the Golden Lion Pirates to pick them up to the floating Islands.
The news about this secret island was sold by Big News Morgans to Basire at a high price, asking a total of 500 million beris.
This is just the price of a message plus an eternal pose!
