Chapter 107: The World Takes Notice
"Heeheehee…"
A sharp laugh cut through the air from within the Kimo Pirates. A pimply, wild-haired pirate suddenly grabbed a tall man beside him.
"Ah—let go of me! Let go! I'm from the Bahe Pirates!"
The man shouted in panic.
"Deal with him later. Can't you see there's something more important right now?" Kimo's expression darkened as he spoke coldly.
The pirate flinched at his tone and reluctantly released the man he had caught.
That man bolted instantly, fleeing in terror.
Seeing this, the people nearby stepped several paces back, not daring to get close.
Kimo noticed their reactions and gave a vicious grin.
In this small town, with a bounty of eighty million, he was unquestionably the ruler.
But he believed he deserved far more.
"Only a ship like that matches my status." He stared at the colossal vessel drawing closer. The golden dragon at the bow seemed to roar at him, as if calling him its master.
The longer he looked, the more he liked it. A frightening smile stretched across his scarred face.
On the Dragonflame—
"Captain! There are a lot of people at the dock, looks like they're welcoming us!"
From the bow, Camon leaned forward and shouted.
Buck and the others came up as well to look.
"That's not a welcome. Don't you see the greed in their eyes? They're treating us like prey."
Aisha said with a pleasant smile.
"Tsk, then we can just kill them all, right?" Camon's eyes flashed with a vicious gleam as he grinned.
"We should be able to… right, Captain?"
Everyone looked toward Jiang Qize.
"If they're hostile, kill them. But before you do, ask if they're wanted. Don't smash in the heads of pirates with bounties."
Jiang Qize replied calmly.
The bounties here weren't high, but even a mosquito was still meat.
He had plenty of expenses coming up.
And right now, he was out of money.
Yes—completely broke. Even the five hundred million Doflamingo owed him had vanished, all poured into the construction of the Dragonflame and various supplies.
His system balance only held a single million berries—barely enough to buy anything.
"Hehe, I knew the captain would agree." Camon flashed a goofy grin, though his eyes were filled with bloodlust.
After following Jiang Qize, the once timid, naive boy had become steadier—and far more unhinged, a pure combat-driven fighter.
Thud!
The ship docked.
"Find a map of Jaya Island and ask about the timing of the Knock-Up Stream."
Jiang Qize said casually, then headed back into the cabin. He had no interest in Jaya Island. There was nothing valuable here.
If there were a few Devil Fruits lying around, then maybe it would be worth a stroll.
Right now, he only wanted to see whether Ba Wang had finished working out the way to reach the sky.
...
Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Inside a vast, majestic palace—
Five elderly men sat around a round table.
Suddenly, a man in ornate golden clothing materialized before them, holding a document.
The blond Elder received it and glanced at the contents.
Bang!!
He slammed the table, the impact echoing through the hall as his expression turned grim.
"What's wrong?" The sword-bearing Elder frowned and took the document.
After reading it, his face also changed. He passed it to the remaining three.
"Where did this pirate crew come from?!" the scarred Elder shouted angrily.
"They may have found Pluton… or they possess its blueprints. Either way, we must seize them."
Another Elder said in a deep, solemn voice.
