"Our target this time is Kingdom of Baikal, a World Government member state that is blocking the expansion path of our Limitless Pirates!"
Nox said seriously.
"Captain, what about the Marine and the World Government?"
Ashura Doji said hesitantly.
He was no longer the Samurai from Wano Country who had never been out to Sea.
Over the past year, he had learned a lot about the Sea and knew that in this World, the World Government was the most powerful force, and World Government member states were protected by the World Government.
"Don't worry, you don't need to concern yourselves with that. Your mission is to take down Kingdom of Baikal for me in the shortest possible time!"
Nox waved his hand.
"Yes, Captain!"
Hearing Nox's words, the many Vice Captains felt relieved.
Since the Captain had a way to deal with the Marine, they only needed to deal with Kingdom of Baikal itself.
The next day at noon, Nox used the mirror that Shakky had installed in the palace of Kingdom of Baikal to directly travel from Wano Country to the palace of Kingdom of Baikal.
Over the past year, although the Limitless Pirates had not truly invaded Kingdom of Baikal.
However, the corresponding infiltration had not been lacking. Shakky had already placed many spies within Kingdom of Baikal.
This mirror was placed in the Kingdom of Baikal palace by a spy, making it convenient for the Limitless Pirates to enter the Kingdom of Baikal palace through the mirror at any time.
King Soman of Kingdom of Baikal sat on the throne in the palace, his heart suddenly pounding violently for some unknown reason, as if a great disaster was imminent.
"Your Majesty, there are signs that the Limitless Pirates are gathering their forces again."
The minister below said.
"Immediately order the Marine to send an Admiral to support our Kingdom of Baikal! Tell them that the Limitless Pirates have already attacked our capital this time!"
Hearing the minister's words, King Soman immediately said.
The previous times when the Limitless Pirates gathered their forces to attack the islands surrounding Kingdom of Baikal, they had also asked the Marine for support.
But although the Marine came, they saw that the Limitless Pirates had not invaded Kingdom of Baikal, so they didn't intervene and left shortly after.
Several times after that, Kingdom of Baikal also requested the Marine to mobilize, but they were refused. The reason for the refusal was that the Limitless Pirates had not offended Kingdom of Baikal.
"Yes, King!"
Although the minister didn't know why the King was so nervous, there had been several times before when the Limitless Pirates gathered, but they had never encroached upon Kingdom of Baikal's territory at all.
"Hehe, it's too late to notify the Marine now!"
Just as the minister was about to send someone to notify the Marine, Nox had already appeared in the palace of Kingdom of Baikal.
"What? Limitless Great Swordsman Nox, how could you be here!!!"
"Our Kingdom of Baikal is a World Government member state. Aren't you afraid that the World Government and the Marine will come to suppress you?!"
King Soman finally understood the reason for his heart's trembling just now.
Nox gave no answer to King Soman's words.
"Buzz!!!"
The next moment, the Haoshoku Haki, like a cloud hanging from the sky, roared out from the palace, rushing in all directions.
Instantly, everyone enveloped by the Haoshoku Haki was knocked unconscious by this sudden and powerful Haoshoku Haki impact.
Within the entire palace, not a single person could remain standing.
"If I didn't have the confidence to deal with the World Government and the Marine, why would I be here?"
Nox cut off King Soman's neck with a single sword strike, and couldn't help but recall the question he hadn't answered just now.
After doing all this, Nox left the palace through the mirror again and returned to his pirate ship.
At the same time, the Limitless Pirates, led by the many Vice Captains, charged towards Kingdom of Baikal from all directions.
"The Limitless Pirates are attacking! Quickly report to the King!!"
"No! Everyone in the palace, including the soldiers stationed outside the palace, have all fainted, and the King was also killed because of this!"
"Damn it! Quickly send someone to contact the Marine and request their support!!"
"Quick! Follow me to resist the Pirates! We must not let the Pirates trample our Kingdom!"
"..."
Nox's decapitation strike caused chaos throughout Kingdom of Baikal.
As the Limitless Pirates continuously landed and attacked, the entire Kingdom of Baikal was simply unable to withstand the Limitless Pirates' invasion.
Even the strongest expert in Kingdom of Baikal was only at the level of a Vice Admiral.
Such an existence, if it were Ashura Doji before he ate a Devil Fruit, would have taken a long time to decide the winner.
But Ashura Doji, who had eaten the Emperor Crocodile Devil Fruit, no longer needed to spend too much time to defeat an ordinary Vice Admiral!
While the Limitless Pirates were attacking Kingdom of Baikal, Golden Lion, John, and World were also attacking three other World Government member states.
Meanwhile, Marine Headquarters Marineford received distress signals from the four World Government member states simultaneously.
"Damn it!"
"Nox, Shiki, John, and World, these four guys must have colluded! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that all four of them are attacking World Government member states at the same time!"
Kong's face turned dark after receiving the distress intelligence from the four Allied Nations.
Currently, including him, there were only four top combat powers in the Marine, and he couldn't leave Marineford, so only three top combat powers could be dispatched.
This meant that one of the four Allied Nations had to be abandoned.
"Fleet Admiral, according to the intelligence, even if we set off now, the Allied Nations might have already been plundered by the time we arrive."
"At that time, should we continue to pursue the Pirates?"
Sengoku asked.
"Sengoku, what are your thoughts?"
Steel Bone asked.
"My idea is that since we cannot save all four Allied Nations, we should do our best to save one and capture one of the four Great Pirates in the Sea."
"That way, even if the Allied Nations blame us, we will have a reason."
"Of course, we can't say we won't save the other three. We definitely have to send troops, just not many."
Sengoku said.
"Then who do you think we should target?"
Hearing Sengoku's idea, Kong also thought it was a good one.
Since they couldn't save all of them, they would save one and capture one of the four Great Pirates who had invaded the Allied Nations.
"The closest to our base is Kenster Kingdom, and the person attacking this kingdom is World."
Sengoku pointed to the sea chart on the table.
"Sengoku, you take Zephyr and Garp with you. This time, no matter what, you must bring World back to me!"
Kong said.
"Don't worry, Fleet Admiral, I guarantee I will complete the mission!"
After Sengoku finished speaking, he walked out of the Fleet Admiral's office and called Garp, who was chasing Roger, and Zephyr, who was chasing other Pirates.
In just a little over half a day, the Limitless Pirates had completely occupied Kingdom of Baikal and were successively moving all the treasures and valuable items back.
Given the uncertainty of the subsequent situation, it was safer to move all the treasures back.
When the Limitless Pirates completely occupied Kingdom of Baikal, they received a call from World.
"Nox, Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr of the Marine are all coming towards me. Does the alliance you mentioned before still count?"
World said.
"It counts, of course it counts. Where are you? I'll be right there."
Nox said in surprise.
He had prepared for the Marine to come after him, but he didn't expect them to go after World.
"I have finished plundering Kenster Kingdom and am preparing to retreat towards Sokap Island. I estimate the Marine will also chase after me in that direction."
World said.
"No problem, I will rush towards Sokap Island as fast as possible."
After Nox finished speaking, he hung up the den den mushi.
"Brother, do you think that Nox, Golden Lion, and John will come to help us?"
After World hung up the phone, he looked at Bin Jack on his shoulder and asked.
"They will. They are all Great Pirates. Maybe they won't keep their word, but they won't betray their own interests!"
Bin Jack affirmed.
They were now in an alliance with Nox and the others. If the Marine came to trouble World and they stood by and did nothing.
Who knew if after World was captured by the Marine, the next target wouldn't be one of the other three?
At that time, they would regret not helping World and letting the Marine target them instead.
"Alright then, let's go now, towards Sokap Island!"
World said.
It wasn't just Nox who received World's call; Shiki and John also received it.
They all made the same choice as Nox, which was to go and support World.
Just as Bin Jack said, World was relatively unlucky. After the four Allied Nations were plundered, the Marine and the World Government would definitely be furious.
And the one who bore the brunt of this anger was the unlucky World. As accomplices, they also had to go and support World.
Otherwise, after World was captured, the anger of the World Government and the Marine might shift to the three of them.
Instead of that, it was better to let World bear the greatest anger of the Marine and the World Government, while the three of them helped World share some of it. This was the best outcome for the four of them.
"Admiral Sengoku, news just came from Kenster that World seems to know that the Marine is coming to encircle him."
"He left Kenster Kingdom directly without finishing the plunder, but according to the information from our personnel on World's ship, World ran in this direction."
The messenger handed over the intelligence on World.
"How could this World know our whereabouts?"
Sengoku said in confusion.
"I say, Sengoku, now is not the time to dwell on that. We should hurry and chase that guy World, otherwise, he'll get too far away."
Garp picked his nose and said indifferently.
"Damn Garp, don't wipe your boogers on my coat!!"
"Give the order, immediately pursue World at full speed!"
Sengoku roared at Garp with a face full of black lines.
John was the closest to World's location, and Shiki was the most agile with the Float-Float Fruit.
And Nox was the furthest from World, but with the help of Shakky's Mirror-Mirror Fruit ability, he was the fastest of the three to reach Sokap Island.
Shakky's Mirror-Mirror Fruit had been developed to the point where the mirrors she created could cover one-tenth of the New World!
That's why Nox was able to reach Sokap Island so quickly.
As soon as Nox arrived, he had already discovered the three powerful presences in the distance at Sea: Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr.
"World, is this the battlefield you chose?"
After arriving here, Nox quickly found World's location.
"Hahahaha, Nox, I didn't expect you to be the first one here!"
"That's right, this is the battlefield I chose, a battlefield to hunt the Marine!"
World laughed heartily, his laughter tinged with madness.
It was clear that all four of them had attacked World Government member states together, yet the Marine deliberately left the other three alone and concentrated all their forces on him, World.
Didn't this clearly indicate that he, World, was considered a pushover?
Since the Marine thought so, World didn't mind showing the Marine whether he, World, was the pushover, or if the Marine were the lambs!
This time, he specifically used the nature of the alliance to get the other three to come and support him. Taking this opportunity, he wanted to make the Marine regret choosing him, World, as their target!
"Gyahahahaha, it seems your plan is quite grand, World!"
At this moment, Golden Lion also arrived.
"Yohahahaha, do you want to give the Marine a major blow?"
John, by coincidence, also arrived.
Sokap Island, chosen by World, was precisely calculated by Bin Jack based on the speed of John and Shiki.
It could be said that as long as they were willing to come, they could meet up with World here and face the Marine's pursuit together.
Nox was the furthest away, but he could arrive within one day of the battle starting at most. At that time, it would be their time to counterattack.
However, what World didn't expect was that Nox had arrived early. If that was the case, then his plan was even more likely to succeed!
"Hahahaha, that's right, the Marine is too reckless! They've completely forgotten that the New World is our Pirate territory!"
"They actually dare to chase us in the New World. This time, two Admirals and Garp from the Marine are here."
"The three top combat powers of the Marine are all here. If we can kill one of them, what do you think will happen?"
World said maniacally.
The other three all knew what World meant. If they could kill a Marine Admiral, it would be a major blow to the Marine.
For them, it would elevate their reputation to a new level!
Killing a Marine Admiral was something exclusively done by Rocks in the past.
Other than Rocks, no one else had ever killed a Marine Admiral!
