On Lovely Island Vice Admiral Momonga has no way to escape. All his soldiers have been petrified, and there are no men left to sail the ship.
What's more, the port is still occupied by the golden ship of the Big Daddy Pirates, and his warship has also fallen into the hands of the enemy.
He wanted to jump into the sea and escape, but the fierce attacks of the Pirate Empress made him overwhelmed and exhausted. He also barely resisted the charm of the Pirate Empress through self-mutilation. The pain of the wound weakened his combat effectiveness even more.
The battle only lasted less than 10 minutes. Momonga's sword was petrified and kicked by Boa Hancock, and half of his body was turned into a stone statue. He was completely defeated by the Pirate Empress.
If Basire had not asked for him to be captured alive, the Pirate Empress would have kicked him into pieces.
After the victory, Hancock ignored the stone statues and ran back to Basire to claim credit, like a proud little peacock.
Basire also smiled and gave the woman an appreciative pat on the head. Then Hancock blushed and squeezed into Basire's arms, rubbing herself against him.
"I'll reward you well tonight, now let's deal with these guys first."
Basire said to Hancock with a smile, and her face became even more rosy after hearing this, with her eyes full of anticipation.
Seeing Don Accino who was still kneeling in front of the Ark Maxim, Basire once again realized that in this world, not every pirate group is so tough that they would rather die than surrender.
"Take your men, enter the New World, and report to Hachinosu Island, do you understand?"
Basire said to Don Accino, this guy has surrendered readily, so Basire does not need to kill him just to plunder his devil fruit. Instead he just accepted him as an affiliated pirate group.
"Thank you, Captain Basire, and thank you to the Big Daddy Pirates for accepting me. I will definitely work hard in the future."
Don Accino quickly spoke loudly and expressed his loyalty, feeling relieved in his heart.
This time he barely saved his life. Although he lost the happy life of being the Mountain King and a Shichibukai, he embraced a Yonkō's thigh.
This doesn't seem to be too much of a loss.
Basire asked Hancok to release the petrification of the Accino family, but left Don Accino's eldest son petrified. He asked him to report to Hachinosu in the New World before helping him despetrify his eldest son.
Don Accino did not dare to object, and quickly asked his men to pack their things and move them onto the ship, leaving Lovely Island, preparing to enter the New World and become an affiliated pirate group of the Big Daddy Pirates.
Basire also asked him to take away the warship of the Vice Admiral. Momonga and his soldiers were captured by the Big Daddy Pirates and were all taken to the castle prison inside of Noko the seahorse.
He wondered if Akainu, the newly appointed Fleet Admiral, is willing to spend a devil fruit to redeem Vice Admiral Momonga.
After a short rest, the Ark Maxim set sail again and continued towards Amazon Lily to complete their main purpose.
The Revolutionary Army's Dragon has also maintained contact with Basire, hoping to determine the final transaction location and redeem the Revolutionary Army's Grand Line Commander, Ivankov along with Inazuma.
The base of the revolutionary army is Baltigo, the white earth island in the Grand Line, and unexpectedly, the World Government and all forces have not found this hidden island.
This island is a secret uninhabited island discovered by them. After more than ten years of development, it became the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army.
"Captain, the Revenge Pirates led by the Ice Witch Whitey Bay, and the new Whitebeard Pirates led by Namur are making a lot of noise in the Grand Line. Do you want to kill them all along the way?"
Van Augur couldn't help but laugh when he found out that Vice Admiral Momonga was here to invite Don Accino to become a Shichibukai.
The current Naval Headquarters is really desperate and has lowered its standards greatly. Even a guy like Don Accino can become a Shichibukai now.
This guy doesn't even know how to use haki, he just has a pretty good devil fruit ability.
Recently, Izou, the 16th division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, was captured. Under torture from other cadres, Van Augur also learned the unique shooting technique of slashing with bullets from him.
He is also seriously learning Emission Haki, wrapping haki around bullets.
Armament Haki plus seastone bullets make this aerial sniper a real nightmare to devil fruit users.
"If we encounter them, isn't it a matter of course?"
Basire chuckled and said, in fact, he did not expect that the leftover Whitebeard Pirates would actually be divided into two groups and get two Shichibukai seats.
These guys from the World Government are really brave. Now the name of the Shichibukai no longer has the original deterrence.
After the defections of Basire and the Pirate Empress, as well as the lack of seats, the Whitebeard remnant party has little deterrence, which greatly affects the influence of the Shichibukai.
Now the Imperial Shichibukai under Basire can deal with this crippled group of Shichibukai.
Mihawk is very strong, but when several of the Imperial Shichibukai team up to deal with him, they don't believe they can't defeat him.
Don't underestimate the joint attack of powerful people like Shiryu, Crocodile, and the Pirate Empress.
After Vice Admiral Momonga was captured and Don Accino was cut off, it is estimated that the Shichibukai seats will not be full for a long time.
Moreover, when Basire solves the problem at Fish-Man Island, he will have to deal with the so-called new Whitebeard Pirates. By then, he will have taken down another Shichibukai.
So if other big pirates want to become a Shichibukai, they must also consider whether it is worth it and whether they will be targeted by Basire.
After all, Basire's flying battleship can fly all over the world unreasonably, and suddenly appear at any minute to destroy them.
···
After several days of flying, the Ark Maxim flew into the Calm Belt and arrived at the Island of Women.
During this period, he also contacted Fleet Admiral Akainu, but this guy was very tough and did not take the life of Vice Admiral Momonga into consideration at all.
But Basire proposed a deal to package and sell some of Impel Down's officials, which made Akainu unable to take the decision by himself.
Former Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru stopped Akainu's refusal and said they would discuss it with the Five Elders.
After all, Impel Down wardens Magellan and Hannyabal are officials in the prison system and affiliated with the World government. Naval Headquarters cannot decide their fate.
Basire was also willing to give them time to discuss and see what good things they were willing to exchange for, or whether to just give up these prisoners.
…
On Amazon Lily, the return of Boa Hancock excited the Amazon female warriors of the entire island. They warmly welcomed back their Queen.
When the old Gloriosa saw Basire coming, she finally calmed down despite her anxiety.
