The Chapter get Retranslated

While Ichiji trained like a madman day and night, the world situation was also quietly changing.

Perhaps out of suspicion towards Shiki the Golden Lion, Whitebeard's pirate crews dispersed, entering the Four Seas, searching for something in the waters all over the world, temporarily abandoning their plans to continue confronting the Marines.

Meanwhile, the World Government, having grown highly vigilant and wary of the "Golden Lion" who was secretly plotting something, repeatedly urged its CP Series intelligence agencies to quickly find Shiki the Golden Lion's whereabouts.

The first half of the Grand Line, Sabaody Archipelago.

A huge warship docked at the port attracted the attention of many on the island.

"It's a top-tier battleship from Marine Headquarters..."

"Is it specifically here to capture pirates? Is it a Marine Vice Admiral, or a Marine Admiral?"

"How could it be an Admiral? Admirals wouldn't be deployed easily unless something major happened, right?"

A warship of this caliber could only be equipped by Headquarters officers with the rank of Vice Admiral or higher, indicating that at least a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral had arrived.

Especially some pirates who usually ran rampant on Sabaody Archipelago were startled and uncertain, considering whether to lie low for a while.

"Whew~~~ Finally arrived at Sabaody Archipelago. Fleet Admiral Sengoku sure knows how to make people work hard..."

Stepping off the warship onto the somewhat damp ground, Chaton took a deep drag from his cigarette. Looking at the constantly floating, dreamlike bubble clusters before him, he couldn't help but complain, "Those bastards run faster than rabbits. I'm just destined to suffer!"

Wearing his Marine justice coat, his somewhat slovenly attire, coupled with his clogs and casual posture, made him look nothing like a "military man," but rather more like a street hooligan.

"Vice Admiral Chaton, we have already called the base commander of Sabaody Archipelago. They said they haven't found any Blackbeard Pirates landing on this island..."

His adjutant, who was by his side and full of seriousness and rigor, spoke in a low voice, "Could it be that they changed course long ago? And went directly to a clandestine factory for coating, secretly heading to Fish-Man Island?"

"Ah... I must have missed something. You guys keep looking..."

With his hands in his pockets and wearing clogs, Chaton leisurely walked in a certain direction.

That direction was towards Sabaody Archipelago's largest casino.

"Vice Admiral, Fleet Admiral Sengoku strictly forbade entering any casinos or entertainment venues along the way before capturing Blackbeard..."

Seeing Chaton continue forward, his adjutant's mouth twitched as he reminded him softly.

"Relax~~ Relax~~, I'm just going to the casino to check something out. You guys search the various areas of the island; don't mind me..." Chaton, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, grinned and waved dismissively, "I'm sure my strength is enough for self-preservation."

"..."

A group of Marines exchanged glances, all a little embarrassed.

...

Meanwhile.

In the misty Florian Triangle.

A giant pirate ship sailed directly into the self-opened internal port of Thriller Bark, docking at the eerie port.

"After searching for days, we finally found it. This is definitely the place..."

Standing on the bow, Laffitte, holding a cane and wearing a top hat, dressed like a mime, smiled and said, "According to the intelligence from headquarters, Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and a hero of the West Blue, Gecko Moria, is here."

"Wahahahaha, it's really exaggerated, it's practically an island..."

The tall, purple-haired strongman with a golden belt grinned broadly.

"Cough, cough, our goal is to kill Gecko Moria and take his place?"

Doc Q, extremely weak and coughing up blood while lying on a sickly skinny horse, asked with a strange tone, "Isn't it odd?"

His half-dead appearance made one wonder if he would cough up blood and die the next moment, yet no one dared to underestimate this eccentric ship doctor known as the "Death God."

"No choice, the commotion we caused earlier was too big, and that bastard Chaton targeted us. We almost got caught by him several times...

After all, he's one of the strongest candidates for Marine Admiral, and as soon as one of the Three Admirals' seats opens up, he'll likely be promoted..."

Looking at the gigantic castle in the distance, Andre Jenny Blackbeard shrugged and laughed loudly, "Wahahahaha, whether we can become Seven Warlords still depends on whether the World Government agrees or not. Even if we don't, it's no big deal, just more chasing by the Marines..."

According to Ichiji's intention, he might eventually find a Logia-type Devil Fruit for him, to see if he could possess a third Devil Fruit!

Once he fully unleashes the original combat power of this body and further develops the abilities of his two Devil Fruits, if he can truly acquire another Logia-type Devil Fruit, he believes that one day he will fear no opponent, even the Marine's highest combat power.

"Heh heh, this is also fate's arrangement!" Van Augur said calmly, wearing a strange hat, a special high-magnification telescope over his right eye, and a black cloak, carrying a customized long gun.

"Don't accidentally kill him, he's still useful!"

"Wahahahaha, being a Seven Warlord is quite interesting too!!"

Champion Jesus Burgess laughed heartily, raising his strong arms.

A large bat flying in the dark sky, responsible for surveillance, was startled: "These guys want to replace Moria-sama and become a Seven Warlord?"

"This is bad, I must report it immediately! Ken!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

But before it could flap its wings towards the castle, several bullets instantly pierced its body.

"Strange fellow (Money's), doesn't die even with a bullet through the head?"

Van Augur held his smoking black gun, his gaze fixed on the bat that, even after being shot in the head, fell for a bit in mid-air, then suddenly continued flying towards the castle.

"This is Gecko Moria creating Zombie Soldiers by stealing shadows from living people and implanting them into corpses.

Their weakness is salt or seawater, which releases the shadows bound within their bodies. Otherwise, they're unkillable, unless you knock out Gecko Moria or kill him..."

Blackbeard, who had already received intelligence from Germa's headquarters, said indifferently, "These useless guys aren't worth bothering with; just go and deal with Gecko Moria directly!"

"Zombies? How unusual!"

Leaving the pirates on the ship to guard the vessel, the group landed on the shore and swiftly moved towards the tall castle in the center of the island...
