Apophis in Wano Country

After Den Den Mushi hung up, Issho asked with interest, "Shiki? Is that the man with Fuwa Fuwa no Mi ability?"

Longinus turned his head and smiled, "You've been out of the Wano for a short time, but you know a lot of things."

"A number of people in the Headquarters have said that my abilities are quite similar to his, so I also want to find out what kind of person that Shiki is?" Issho said.

"Quite similar indeed." Longinus nodded and asked, "And what do you think, now, of him?"

"According to the language of the Wano, it should be a warlord!" Issho rubbed his chin and replied with a serious expression, "That is a man who can do anything to get strength and power, disappeared for ten years and suddenly appeared, must have great ambition and planning!"

"I see it the same way you do, so ..." Longinus crouched down and said apologetically toward Koala, "I may not be able to return you home myself."

"It's okay."

"What a sensible little girl." Longinus smiled and patted Koala's head, then summoned the other Marine officers and ordered, "Captain Gers, Captain Carte, I'll ask you to return Koala safely to Foolshout Island."

"Yes!" With a military salute, the two captains shouted in unison, "Please rest assured, Vice Admiral, we promise to complete the mission!"

Longinus nodded and called the Minos, who was accompanying him down, "Commander Issho, join us up here!"

"Haha! Then I'll steal a lazy one too."

"Rest well, get well, we have our hands full next." said Longinus with his mouth. But in his heart is secretly thinking, "Shiki should have gone to the New World by now, I am looking in Paradise this time just staggered with him."

"This makes it easy for me to use two identities to brush up on his reputation twice."

"Only, the New World side has to make plans early!"

...

New World, Wano Country.

Since the death of Kurozumi Orochi, the Beasts Pirates and the Wano Country remnants reached a strange balance between the forces.

The mountain bandits controlled by Ashura Doji and the Yakuza controlled by Dozing Kyoshiro, these two forces roam the five major areas: Kuri, Udon, Kibi, Hakumai, and Ringo.

They regularly provide the Beasts Pirates entrenched in Flower Capital with a Kairoseki in exchange for peace between the two sides.

It's not that the Beasts Pirates are willing to keep this situation; it's that Wano is so big that it's hard for them to find where the yakuza and mountain bandits are hiding after eliminating their leader Kurozumi Orochi.

In Flower Capital, in a tavern.

"The elephant meat steak you have in this store, it tastes good." After the man with a mouth full of sharp teeth finished, he put on a half-metal mask.

"Jack... Jack-sama likes it just fine." Tavern boss almost scared out of a cold sweat, this Zou Zou no Mi, Model: Mammoth ability of the Lord of the Drought even like to eat elephant meat steak, at first, he thought that Jack-sama was trying to find an excuse to kill him.

"Next time I'll have a mammoth steak instead."

"But mammoths have long been extinct!"

"That's your business, I just want to know the results." Jack said impatiently.

"But really did not do ..." under the gaze of Jack's cold eyes, the tavern owner asked stiffly, "Otherwise, Jack-sama, when you transformed yourself, you tear some meat down?"

Just as the boss closed his eyes and waited for death, he heard Jack overjoyed and said, "This is a good idea, then I will have endless mammoth meat to eat in the future!"

Tavern owner: "(o'ω'o)?"

Just then, a pirate stumbled in.

"Jack-sama, Jack-sama, it's not good, a very powerful swordsman has stormed in at Flower Capital, saying he wants to see Kaido-sama!"

"Swordsman? What's the point of that kind of thing?" Jack stood up and walked towards the outside of the tavern.

"Jack-sama, is it possible that you are going to ..."

"Get lost and stay out of my way."

Not waiting for the informant pirate to finish his sentence, Jack threw him away.

Then, directly in the street transformed into a giant elephant, trampling and crushing towards the city gates.

...

Flower capital, the city gate;

The masked swordsman slowly walked into the city gates, and any pirate who came near him would instantly faint, and those who intended to shoot at long range would be scared to death by his glance.

All the pirates of the Beasts Pirates only dared to watch from a distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground was shaking violently, and the sound was booming like thunder.

Then an incomparably giant mammoth appeared in the sight of the crowd.

"Jack-sama, great, you're finally here!"

"Who's causing trouble here?"

"It's that masked monster!"

"Let me recon." The huge mammoth walked up to Apophis, "Is it you who wants to see Boss Kaido?"

"If you know, lead the way quickly."

"Bastard, Boss Kaido is the one who can meet with you if he says so ..." the mammoth roared, the long whip-like trunk flung down violently.

"There it is, the general destructive power of the Jack-sama Disaster!"

"Smash that bastard into a meat pie!"

For Jack's sudden outburst, the crowd is not half surprised; Jack-sama is never this violent.

"Seikiri Slash!"

A dazzling, extremely bright slash flashed, and then the mammoth's huge body flew up into the sky.

...

"Ekisaito, ekisaito, the little bean soup is so delicious!"

"No good, no good, Queen-sama, Jack-sama has been beaten up!"

"Huh? Although that guy Jack is a loser, but at least he's still my little brother." Queen put down the small bean soup and twisted his fat body, "Let's go and see which bastard dares to come to our Beasts Pirates to make trouble!"

Half an hour later, a vast Brachiosaurus flew into the sky.

...

In the torture chamber of the prison, the sound of endless wailing came.

Then the voice of Den Den Mushi sounded.

A man in black armor asked, "What is it?"

"Ember-sama, it's not good, both Jack-sama and Queen-sama have been beaten up!"

Unfazed, Ember continued to ask, "Defeated by whom?"

"It was defeated by a swordsman wearing a mask, and he said he wanted to see Boss Kaido."

"Wearing a mask?" Ember's voice rose and fell slightly, "Was it a mask with a ghost face and the red kind of pupils?"

The voice on Den Den Mushi's side paused for a moment, seemingly to check, before saying joyfully, "Ember-sama is just too awesome, exactly right."

This time it was Ember's turn to fall into silence, and a moment later, the indifferent voice rang out again, "That man, is the same level of character as Brother Kaido."

Ember's indifferent voice contains a hint of helplessness; three months have passed since that battle, those two idiots are not even half concerned?

"What? The same level as boss Kaido?" The pirate holding the wisdom field snail near the city gate let out a shriek, looking with shock at the swordsman sitting at the top of the brachiosaurus head.

The surrounding pirates heard him exclaim, horrified in their hearts and at the same time a sense of deservedness, "No wonder the so powerful Jack-sama and Queen-sama can not beat him."

Simultaneously, both Jack in the shape of mammoth and Queen in their hearts also infinitely heightened. "To protect the dignity of the Beasts Pirates, Jack-sama and Queen-sama took the initiative to attack such a strong man, indeed is too touching!

PS: According to the life-card display, Jack appeared 28 years old, now is just a young boy of 16 years old, in Kin'emon and their memories some silhouettes look like Jack, if it is him, does not that mean that Jack is a monster like Big Mom at the age of 8 years old who can not be killed? Incidentally, the bounty of one billion Jack the Drought in the life-card display is surprisingly not even overbearing Õ__Õ.
