On the largest island closest to Wano Country, one can see the massive, rushing waterfall of Wano Country from across the water.
At this time, a large number of ships, about thirty in total, were moored along the coast of the island. The ships were not large, all of them small vessels, and judging from their size, they could accommodate about two hundred people.
However, thirty ships would require a considerable number of people.
The thirty pirate ships all used the same skull and crossbones flag with musical notes and earphones, and belonged to the same pirate crew.
There are approximately six thousand people staying on the island.
These people were all wearing uniform, fitted uniforms with round collars and musical note patterns on their chests. They stood there straight, forming a square formation.
In front of them, a lean and wiry man stood ramrod straight, facing them.
"Wano Country is almost here!"
After glancing at them, the burly man suddenly shouted, "That is our promised land, the most suitable place for our ideal world to grow!"
As he spoke, the pirates puffed out their chests, their eyes filled with fervor.
"We may encounter resistance when we enter Wano Country. Those people will not fight for the happiness of others, but only for themselves. We need not show mercy to such people!"
"They may be very strong, and we may suffer casualties, but... are you afraid?!"
"I'm not afraid!!!"
Thousands of people roared in unison, their expressions resolute, their eyes filled with longing and fervor, as if they had seen something.
The muscular man nodded in satisfaction, clenched his fist, and said excitedly, "That's right, we're not afraid! Everything is for the ideal world, everything is for the happiness of the world, to spread the word about the ideal world across the ocean. Whether others understand or not, we are right, because we can make everyone feel happiness!"
"Oh!!!" the crowd roared again.
Amidst the shouts, the wiry man turned to look at the sea. He stared at it for a while, then suddenly noticed something, and a smile crept onto his lips:
"Just like Constance said, they really will come... but I don't agree with Constance's idea that we can only stall them. I want to crush them!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand, stroking the headphones on his head as if caressing some precious treasure, and murmured, "'Red' Lord, just you wait and see, I will prove it to you..."
In the vast ocean ahead, four enormous warships sailed in, gradually coming into view of the people on the island.
The burly man clenched his fists and shouted, "Prepare for battle! Crush these evil world government lackeys!"
Similarly, as this burly man discovered these warships, the people on the warships also discovered the numerous pirates on the island, as well as a large number of pirate ships anchored around it.
"This is..."
Wilbur put down his binoculars, his expression turning serious: "There are so many people, and that's 'Ferocious Fist'... He's been missing for six years, why is he here? And that flag, a pirate crew flag I've never seen before, is that 'Utopia'?"
Cass, standing nearby, asked in confusion, "A vicious fist?"
Wilbur nodded and said, "Yes, 'Ferocious Fist' Inlava. You may not have heard of him in the East Blue. He used to be very famous in the Grand Line. He entered Sabaody and reached the New World a long time ago, but then he disappeared for some reason."
"Ferocious Fist" Inlava was a notorious pirate when Wilbur was still stationed in Sabaody Archipelago. He was a "supernova" at the time, with a bounty of 230 million.
But after breaking through from Sabaody, he displayed his fame in the New World for a while, and then disappeared.
Six years ago...
Cass thought for a moment. Mr. Kuro entered the Grand Line four years ago. Before that, he was in the East Blue. At that time, Mr. Kuro was only a sergeant major, while Cass was still a sergeant.
At that time, he had not yet grasped the meaning of justice; he was merely someone who worked under Mr. Kuro and patrolled the East Blue.
They were of course unaware of the Grand Line; in fact, the Grand Line was considered a mysterious legend by the East China Sea Navy.
but...
That's not the point.
Cass looked at the people on the island through his binoculars and said in a deep voice, "Wilbur, have you noticed? Something's not right with those people. Their formation is too square; it doesn't seem like something pirates would do."
Pirates, as unruly beings on the high seas, value freedom above all else. Each pirate has their own fighting style, operating independently, and are certainly not as orderly as the Navy or Kingdom soldiers.
But now, these pirates are all standing ramrod straight, forming a square formation.
They don't seem like ordinary pirates.
Upon hearing this, Wilbur looked through the binoculars again. He had been so shocked by the discovery of the pirates he hadn't seen in a long time that he hadn't really looked closely. In terms of observation skills, he was indeed no match for Cass.
As expected of the man who has grasped the essence of Mr. Clow's justice most deeply, Wilbur has yet to comprehend that kind of power.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, he raised an eyebrow and saw Inlava giving them a provocative smile in the magnified view through the telescope. Then he stretched out his hand, pointed at the ground with his finger, and raised his head.
The meaning is self-evident.
That means, come here, let's fight and decide the winner.
Wilbur lowered his binoculars and said in a deep voice, "This guy is deliberately waiting for us. What does he want?"
"No matter what he does."
Cass exhaled a breath of stale air, his large beard trembling in the wind. "We're not afraid. He wants to fight, and we want to fight too! Perfect, if we settle this in one battle, it'll save us a lot of trouble, and we won't have to hunt them down from all sides!"
