And at this moment, a voice came from the sea.
"Shiki, you really ignored my warning."
Hearing this familiar voice.
Kaido, Shiki, Roger, Gaban, Rayleigh, Shanks, and Buggy were all stunned.
Everyone looked towards the sea in the distance.
They saw a small boat sailing on the turbulent sea. Although it was just a small boat.
No Sea King dared to linger or approach beneath this small boat.
As the boat drew closer, everyone could see the appearance of the person arriving.
It was El!
"El???"
Shiki's pupils contracted violently, and he exclaimed.
He hadn't expected El to appear just as he was about to make a move against the Roger Pirates!
"Damn it, why is this guy appearing at this time?" Kaido said with a grim expression.
If El had appeared before they found the Roger Pirates.
This would have been a situation they wanted to see, because the two of them joining forces could have destroyed El.
But now, they had just found the Roger Pirates.
And at this moment, El appeared!
This meant that if they started fighting now.
They would have to face the Roger Pirates and the unfathomable monster El simultaneously!
Compared to the worries and concerns of Kaido and Shiki.
The people of the Roger Pirates became directly excited.
"He's here, El is here!"
"We've definitely won this battle because El has finally appeared!"
"Although I don't know if the news El spread in Dressrosa about killing three Gorosei was true, one thing is certain: this guy has set foot in the Holy Land Mary Geoise!"
"His strength is definitely not inferior to Captain Roger's. With him here, even if we face Kaido of the Beasts and Shiki, we will not lose!"
The many crew members discussed excitedly.
"He's finally here, El." Rayleigh also had a smile on his face, appearing slightly excited.
Compared to the excitement of the Roger Pirates, the pirates under Shiki became directly terrified.
"D-damn it, why did El appear at such a critical moment!"
"I thought Shiki and the Beast Pirates had joined forces, and we could easily destroy the Roger Pirates, but the appearance of this monster El has doomed our plan to be difficult!"
"Damn it, what should we do now? I've long heard that El is the man crowned 'Strongest Pirate' by the World Government. Facing such a strong individual, and the Roger Pirates, do we still have a good chance of winning?"
Many pirates exchanged glances, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads, and they looked at El in terror.
Although these people had never witnessed El's battles.
And many of them were seeing El for the first time with their own eyes.
But El's reputation in the New World was too resounding!
"Why panic? No matter how strong El is, he came alone this time. In terms of numbers, we have an absolute advantage!!!"
"Although this guy El has the highest bounty in our New World, Shiki's strength is something you've all witnessed. I don't think Shiki's strength is inferior to his!"
Although countless pirates were terrified of El's arrival.
However, there were still some pirates who were not afraid of El.
After all, they had only heard about El's strength but had never seen it with their own eyes.
And they had seen Shiki's strength with their own eyes, which was why they chose to follow him.
Compared to El, they placed more value on Shiki's strength!
...
On the Oro Jackson.
Seeing El appear, Roger's tense mood calmed down, and he couldn't help but tease.
"Hahaha... El, you've arrived just in time. If you had been a little later, our Roger Pirates might have been annihilated here."
"I promised you I would deal with Shiki, and I will naturally keep my word."
El stood at the bow of the small boat and said calmly, glancing at Roger.
"I knew it, you are a man of your word!" Roger said with a slight smile.
Roger couldn't help but sigh, recalling the incident of saving El's life at God Valley back then.
It was indeed one of the most correct decisions he had made in his life!
After all, if he hadn't saved El, El would definitely not have appeared here.
"Let's skip the pleasantries, Roger. After I deal with Shiki for you this time, the favor I owe you will be repaid."
"I'll have to trouble you this time, El!"
El glanced at Roger, then turned his gaze to Shiki and said coldly.
"Shiki, I should have warned you not to target the Roger Pirates, shouldn't I? You guy... really don't listen to advice!"
If Shiki had heeded his words and not attacked the Roger Pirates.
He wouldn't have had to travel such a long distance, and the favor he owed Roger would have been repaid.
But this Shiki insisted on causing trouble, which gave him a headache.
Hearing El's words, Shiki couldn't help but frown.
Now he had two options: either admit defeat and flee this place with Kaido.
Or start a war, join forces with Kaido, and deal with the entire Roger Pirates, as well as the monster El.
Between these two options, Shiki remained silent for a long time.
"Shiki, why are you so afraid of him? Don't forget, we prepared quite a few special weapons for this operation just in case!!!"
Seeing Shiki in a prolonged state of silence, Kaido shouted from the sky.
"Even if El comes, we definitely won't lose this battle!" Queen, standing on Kaido's head, echoed.
"Shiki, you're a great pirate, yet you're scared just by El's appearance?" King said coldly, crossing his arms.
Hearing Kaido and the others' words, Shiki was slightly taken aback.
The next moment, he suddenly remembered something and was immediately filled with confidence in winning this battle.
He then laughed heartily.
"Hahahaha... I forgot until you mentioned it, Kaido, we are well-prepared this time!"
The special weapons they prepared for this operation were precisely bullets made of Seastone!
Earlier, Queen had already managed to have weapons forged from processed Seastone.
And in the past period, they had successfully developed Seastone bullets specifically designed to counter Devil Fruit users!
Although they didn't know what type of Devil Fruit El had specifically eaten.
Nor did they know the abilities of the Devil Fruit El had eaten.
But they knew one thing for sure: El was definitely a genuine Devil Fruit user!
After all, in this pirate world, unless one ate a Devil Fruit.
It was impossible to unleash certain special abilities!
In this battle, they not only had special Seastone bullets prepared.
At the same time, the area they were currently in was the sea!
Either hit El with Seastone bullets.
Or let El sink to the bottom of the sea. Both methods could render El completely incapable of fighting!
Shiki fixed his gaze on El and said calmly.
"El, although you are strong, this battle's victor will be us!"
Shiki had already decided to fight the Roger Pirates and El!
If they won, he would be the future world ruler!
As for defeat, Shiki had never even considered that possibility!
"Is that so? I'm quite curious, what makes you so confident that you can win this war," El said nonchalantly.
El possessed numerous abilities, all of which were extremely destructive powers!
Not even mentioning the Ten-Tails' power, even with his other abilities alone.
El didn't take Shiki and the others too seriously.
"Don't underestimate me, El!" Shiki snorted coldly.
Since the end of the God Valley incident, Shiki had been recruiting strong individuals in the New World.
While also practicing swordsmanship and developing his Devil Fruit abilities.
In terms of strength, he was now among the top tier in the entire New World!
"Let's cut the chatter, Shiki. Let this war begin!" Kaido shouted.
Kaido was a bit of a brute; his favorite thing was to start wars.
