After the battle between the Big Daddy Pirates and Golden Lion Shiki.
Under Basire's order, they went all out to finish the Groseade's upgrades and did not continue to hunt for supernovas, which greatly accelerated their construction speed.
The remaining supernovas and rookie pirates are not necessary targets for Basire.
Even if he is not hunting them now, he will still have plenty of opportunities to take action later in Sabaody Archipelago.
Now, Basire wants to complete the construction of the Groseade and disappear from the fixed position of Mecha Island.
He can clearly feel that the number of spies from the World Government has increased.
Fortunately, Lily Carnation has implemented an island-wide monitoring of the island ship, otherwise the spies would really have sneaked in.
The camouflage techniques of these agents are really very powerful and even the workers who work together day and night might not notice that their coworkers have been replaced.
After all, even the headquarters of the Economic News Agency of Big News Morgans that frequently changes location still has some World Government agents lurking there.
…
Right now, the most crucial point is that Fire Fist Ace and Blackbeard finally entered the Grand Line.
Basire is not only paying attention to these two guys through Morgans and the underworld, but also constantly learning about their whereabouts through the intelligence from Naval Headquarters.
Based on the lessons learned from the last robbery, Naval Headquarters has given Basire great authority in terms of access to their information channels.
Of course, the information he can access is limited to the whereabouts of pirates, allowing the Big Daddy Pirates to help annihilate other pirates.
After Basire's battle with Golden Lion Shiki, he didn't even have time to go to Drum Island to capture Chopper and Dr. Kureha.
He was completely devoted to practicing Conqueror's Haki, and he was feeling extremely eager to successfully master it.
He worked hard to consolidate his gains and experience in the battle with Shiki. He even went to the prison to consult with the old lion.
Originally, Shiki had some ideas to leave his legacy behind, but after becoming a prisoner, he was not willing to continue teaching Basire, because he was just too much of a bastard.
But under the threat of 'turning into a woman', he became silent, compromised, and accepted his fate.
Because Crocodile and Enel's graceful figures reminded him all the time that a lifetime of fame may be just a thought away from him.
He doesn't want his cross-dressing photo to appear on the news headlines the next day.
In this way, Golden Lion Shiki, who did not want to lose his last bit of reputation and suffer social death, passed on all his life experience to Basire. In addition to Conqueror's Haki, he even handed over the Lion Twin Sword Style.
The swordsman Roronoa Zoro has received a lot of references in the lion double-sword style. His move Lion Song and the three-sword style sword technique have been greatly improved.
This swordsmanship style is not much worse than Mihawk's sword style.
This also allowed Zoro to start his two-year training plan ahead of schedule.
He must thoroughly digest the legendary pirate Golden Lion Shiki's Lion-style swordsmanship, and be promoted from a swordsman to a great swordsman as soon as possible.
Only by becoming a great swordsman can he be qualified to compete with Mihawk for the position of the world's greatest swordsman.
Now the more he comes into contact with these top combat powers, the more Zoro realizes his own weakness.
Sure enough, it is impossible to become the world's greatest swordsman by shouting slogans.
For his dream and that promise, he must continue to become stronger, even if he has to work a hundred times harder!
Zoro has always insisted on practicing next to Basire, because the pressure brought by him when practicing Conqueror's Haki made his training progress faster.
The other crew members have already begun to practice the Rokushiki, choosing their favorite moves to practice. Even top fighting techniques such as Hakoku and Lion Dual Sword Style are publicly available among the cadres of the Big Daddy Pirates.
Basire was not afraid that they would learn those secret moves, instead he was afraid that they wouldn't be able to learn them.
Dr. Indigo, the ship's doctor and scientist of the Golden Lion Pirates, actually survived and was successfully captured by the Big Daddy Pirates.
Sure enough, under Zoro's sword, people were rarely killed on the spot.
But Scarlet, the gorilla who controlled the monsters, was really killed by the Big Daddy Pirates.
After getting the Eternal Pose to the flying Islands group, Basire planned to harvest their properties after a while. He would first loot them and then deprive Shiki from his Devil Fruit.
The technology there is still worth plundering.
Otherwise, if Shiki's Float Fruit ability is taken away first, these flying Islands will lose their ability to float and will fall into the sea, becoming worthless ruins.
···
After more than half a month of consolidating his strength, Basire finally improved his strength again. After stabilizing, he was ready to implement his plans again.
The island ship Groseade's renovation was almost complete and can set sail again to meet the waves of the sea in the new era.
In the captain's office of the Ark Maxim, Basire was talking through a den den mushi.
"Kwahahaha!! Captain Basire, wasn't your money well spent?"
"I sent special tracking seagulls every day to track down information about Fire Fist Ace, and of course, the fat guy you highlighted as well!"
Big News Morgans' voice came out through the den den mushi, his words full of excitement.
He felt that Basire, the Shichibukai, might take action against Fire Fist Ace, the captain of Whitebeard's second division. This was huge news!.
After defeating Golden Lion Shiki, does Basire really dare to challenge the Whitebeard Pirates?
Everyone on the sea knows that with Whitebeard Newgate's protective character, provoking Fire Fist Ace, is tantamount to provoking the entire Whitebeard Pirate Group.
Basire, can he really withstand Whitebeard's revenge?
However, this has nothing to do with Morgans!
Because he only wants big news, whether it is a Yonkō or a Shichibukai, whoever dies will become big news and this can make him a lot of money.
"Morgan! Ten million beris a day, and you just give me this little bit of information?"
"In the past half month, you have already collected 150 million beris from me!"
"However, forget all this, starting from tomorrow, find a way to hand over the information about this fat man to Ace as soon as possible!"
"Then tell me when they are less than an island apart, and also find someone to delay this fat man. In short, the two of them must meet!"
Basire's cold voice reached Morgans' ears, and there seemed to be a little bit of displeasure in his tone.
"Kwahahaha! No problem, I will definitely find a way for Fire Fist Ace to intercept this man. Captain Basire will also be there by then, right?"
Even though he was a little dissatisfied with Basire's tone at the ridiculously high price, Morgans didn't care at all and didn't even think about lowering the price.
He just wants to take advantage of the rich, and what matters is that they are willing to be cheated by him.
They have no other way after all, Basire has needs, and Morgans has the means.
Morgans also worked hard to facilitate the collision between Basire, the Shichibukai, and Fire Fist Ace, the captain of Whitebeard's second division.
Otherwise, where else would he get such big news?!
