Baltigo Island.
After the Beasts Pirates withdrew, it didn't revert to its original desolate state.
When they withdrew to attack Wano, the facilities on the island weren't destroyed and were still maintained.
The shipbuilding factory and weapons factory were still running, and the weapons and ships produced were all transported to Wano.
After the Beasts Pirates picked and chose, they handed the excess over to Feld to sell.
Relying on the support of these two major factories, plus the large furnace built by Queen constantly providing warmth, Baltigo Island became increasingly prosperous.
This day, Baltigo Island welcomed a group of uninvited guests.
A pirate, holding a telescope, looked at the industrial city on the island, unable to help but sigh, "I never thought that the godforsaken Baltigo Island could develop like this."
Then, he asked a tall man with his arms crossed next to him, "Boss, are we really going to occupy this place?"
The tall man's eyes were firm. "Of course. Otherwise, what did we come here for?"
The crew member looked up at the flag fluttering in the wind on the island, reminding him in a low voice,
"But… this is the territory of the Beasts Pirates. The Beasts Pirates' Jolly Roger is still flying on the island."
The tall man laughed wildly. "Hahahaha… No need to be afraid. The Beasts Pirates are strong, but I, Chinjao, am not a vegetarian either."
"Understood, Boss. I'll go tell the crew to prepare for battle."
Chinjao nodded majestically. "Tell them, try not to damage the buildings on the island during the battle. This will be our Happo Navy's territory in the future!"
"Yes, Boss!" The crew member responded and quickly retreated to inform them.
Chinjao was proud. After all, he had fought with Garp, and it was a draw.
What kind of person was Garp? He was a famous Marine hero, his iron fists suppressing the entire sea.
The mighty Happo Navy quickly attracted the attention of Baltigo's armed forces.
Baltigo, as the Beasts Pirates' first base, retained a certain amount of combat power.
They held weapons produced by the weapons factory, quickly surrounding the Happo Navy.
Chinjao coldly swept over the group, not putting them in his eyes.
The Baltigo army commander recognized Chinjao's signature drill head, knowing that they were no match for him.
But he didn't fear because of this, shouting loudly, "This is the territory of the Beasts Pirates. Please leave quickly. We can pretend you never came."
Chinjao grinned, laughing loudly. "Hahahaha… Now that we're here, how can we pretend we never came!"
The army commander frowned, warning again, "Does your Happo Navy want to be enemies with the Beasts Pirates?"
Chinjao sneered. "What if we're enemies? Men, charge!"
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
…
The Happo Navy charged, wielding various weapons, howling.
The army commander gritted his teeth. "Drive these pirates away!"
Chinjao didn't move, watching leisurely.
Soon, he realized that something was wrong. Baltigo's combat power was even stronger than their Happo Navy.
Especially their weapons, they were quite advanced!
The Happo Navy was all people he had brought from his hometown. Chinjao naturally couldn't watch them suffer heavy losses.
Chinjao's Conqueror's Haki erupted instantly, a terrifying aura pressing down on the Baltigo people who were fighting.
Under the impact of Chinjao's Conqueror's Haki, more than half of the Baltigo people foamed at the mouth, collapsing to the ground unconscious.
The Happo Navy pressed their advantage, quickly wiping out the Baltigo Island army, leaving only the army commander still struggling!
Chinjao's lips curled upward, dark Armament Haki slowly climbing onto his drill head!
Then, he leaped high, crashing towards the army commander.
The army commander didn't even know Armament Haki, so naturally, he had no power to resist, being pierced directly by the drill head, slowly closing his eyes unwillingly.
Chinjao pulled out his drill head, grinning savagely. "There's nothing in this world harder than my drill head!"
"Men, Baltigo Island belongs to us!"
The Happo Navy raised their arms and shouted!
"Long live the Boss!"
"Long live the Happo Navy!"
…
Amid the rising and falling cheers, the Den Den Mushi on the army commander's body rang abruptly.
"Brrr brrr… Brrr brrr…"
Chinjao squatted down, took the Den Den Mushi out of the army commander's pocket, and answered it without thinking. "Hello!"
On the other side of the Den Den Mushi, King heard that the voice was wrong, asking coldly, "You're not the Baltigo army commander. Who are you?"
Chinjao laughed provocatively. "You should be someone from the Beasts Pirates, right? Tell Kaido, Baltigo belongs to my Happo Navy!"
Without waiting for King to say anything more, Chinjao crushed the Den Den Mushi.
Then, he laughed loudly. "Go, men, replace the Jolly Roger on the island with ours, then let the feast begin!"
…
On the other end of the phone, King, far away in Wano, was furious, crushing the Den Den Mushi in anger.
Someone… dared… to provoke… the Beasts Pirates!
In that instant, King's Conqueror's Haki soared into the sky, dark red lightning crackling in the air!
At this time, Kaido, who had just returned to Wano with the recruited troops, sensed this angry Conqueror's Haki.
"King's Conqueror's Haki?"
"What happened? Why is he so angry?"
The Azure Dragon instantly took to the sky, flying towards the Ringo region where King was located.
Kaido asked directly, "What's wrong?"
King suppressed his anger, reporting the truth. "Mr. Kaido, it's like this… Baltigo has been occupied by the Happo Navy!"
Kaido laughed, a laugh of anger.
"A mere Happo Navy dares to be so arrogant. They truly don't know death!"
King quickly volunteered. "Mr. Kaido, let me go. I'll bring back Chinjao's head."
"No, you watch Wano, and handle the crew members I brought back. I'll personally go and meet this Chinjao, see if his strength can support his arrogance!"
As soon as the words fell, the Azure Dragon had taken to the clouds, flying towards Baltigo Island.
King found another Den Den Mushi, reporting everything that had happened on Baltigo and the news of Kaido's expedition to Noro.
Above the clouds.
The Tengu Serpent was flying towards the Sabaody Archipelago.
He hadn't passed Fish-Man Island on the way here. He had to take the Road Poneglyph from Fish-Man Island on the way back.
Noro was stunned after hearing this news.
It was true that a barren field had no one to plow, but once it was plowed, people would fight over it.
Chinjao, heh.
A guy who was one-shotted by Garp, wouldn't he still be holding onto the record of fighting Garp many years ago, thinking he was invincible?
Since he dared to provoke, he couldn't blame him.
Noro, who had already flown to the Grand Line, turned around and flew towards the West Blue.
If Chinjao hadn't made this move, he would have forgotten that there was a treasure trove in the West Blue!
