One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 134 Western Sea Target: 1 Laugh

Little did Yixiao know that there would be another opportunity for a global military recruitment drive in the future, which would allow him to escape the stigma of being a war criminal and even rise to the position of a high-ranking naval admiral.

After Luo Ji took Huang Mu away from the Taya Kingdom in the South China Sea, he immediately came to the West China Sea to find Yi Xiao.

There is another reason, which is that Aramaki and Issho have most likely been under the surveillance of the World Government.

During the World Conscription, the World Government was able to precisely release Huang Mu from the royal prison of the Kingdom of Taya and precisely redeem Yi Xiao from the Twin Serpent Island in the West Blue.

This shows that these two powerful individuals had long been under the surveillance and scrutiny of the World Government.

However, before the Marineford War, the Marine Headquarters was still very powerful and did not need these two powerful criminals for the time being.

Or rather, the world government is monitoring these two potentially dangerous elements.

That's why the World Government didn't intervene to rescue these two down-on-their-luck powerhouses.

However, after the Marineford War, Sengoku the Buddha resigned and retired from the scene, Akainu was promoted to Fleet Admiral, and Aokiji left the Navy, leaving the Marine Headquarters with two vacancies for Marine Admirals.

This reminded the world government of these two powerful criminals.

With the World Government and Navy Headquarters in dire need of replenishing their forces, the crimes of these two criminals are utterly insignificant compared to their formidable strength.

In addition, these two guys' crimes weren't too serious, and their character was decent enough, so they could be admitted exceptionally and directly recruited for our own use.

Luo Ji was worried that after he dealt with Huang Mu, the World Government would recruit Yi Xiao, this sinner, ahead of time.

Therefore, Luo Ji should hurry up and get this general's combat power under control as soon as possible.

Having the world government monitor them for years ultimately proved futile.

Luo Ji has his eye on this Hu!

In fact, the Five Elders have now pretty much guessed Luo Ji's intentions.

However, they continued to set their sights on the South China Sea, while Luo Ji had already flown to the West China Sea, which was a miscalculation.

They never expected that Luo Ji would intercept the two strongest 'criminals' under the surveillance of the World Government as soon as he made his move.

They couldn't understand why Luo Ji was able to find these powerful individuals so accurately.

Big Bear, held back by Bonnie; Aramu, who has been imprisoned for over a year; and Ichisho, who has been hiding for many years...

If one could be an accident, and two could be a coincidence, then three is just too outrageous.

If the Five Elders confirm that Luo Ji possesses the ability to foresee the future, their killing intent towards him will reach an unprecedented level.

They might even report it to Lord Im.

Because of Luo Ji's ability, the Luo Ji Pirates can grow explosively in a very short period of time.

They could very well be even more terrifying than the Rocks Pirates of yesteryear.

···

Massan and his group, having entered the South Blue, continued their search for the whereabouts of the Luo Ji Pirates.

"Have they been found yet? What about the other powerful targets?"

Mas Saint had been away from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise for a long time, but he was still being led around by the Luo Ji Pirates, returning empty-handed time and time again.

This greatly displeased the high and mighty Five Elders.

“We’ve already narrowed it down to two targets. Go to those two islands and wait there. It’s better than you searching around aimlessly.”

Woqiuli Saint also did not receive any new information from the Luo Ji Pirates, so he could only have Mas Saint take the most primitive approach and wait for them to come to him.

"can!"

Massan could only sail towards these two target islands.

After all, he didn't have any good solutions.

This kind of enemy with airships is really troublesome.

Moreover, with Kuma joining the Luo Ji Pirates, Massan felt it would be even more difficult to capture these pirates.

Massan fears most that these pirates will immediately use Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability to escape as soon as they see him.

Even Saint Namas was helpless.

Fortunately, these ants had no idea about the teleportation ability between the Five Elders.

As long as the Luo Ji Pirates are captured and they don't escape immediately, Mas Saint can teleport the other five elders over to surround the Luo Ji Pirates together.

If we expose our teleportation ability and still can't catch Luo Ji and the others...

Subsequent arrests became even more impossible.

Therefore, a decisive blow is necessary; the moment the teleportation array is exposed, the entire Luo Ji Pirates will be wiped out.

But the Five Elders never expected that Luo Ji knew their abilities inside and out.

They won't be given any chance at all.

Luo Ji will only confront the Five Elders head-on when he feels he has enough fighting power to deal with all five of them at the same time.

···

Luo Ji was unaware that the Five Elders were targeting him in the South China Sea; in any case, they had already swiftly flown to Twin Snake Island in the West China Sea.

If they successfully recruit Yixiao to their crew, the Luo Ji Pirates will reach a terrifying level of strength.

It's hard to say whether he'll become the top of the Five Emperors, but going to Whole Cake Island to fight the Big Mom Pirates is definitely no problem.

"Is Twin Serpent Island also part of the West Sea Mafia's territory?"

Huang Mu had some objections to Luo Ji not going to fight the Eight Treasures Navy of the Flower Country and the Eight Warriors of the Mulberry Country first.

After all, these two pirate kingdoms are much stronger than the Mafia.

Even though the gangster Capone Bege has basically unified the West Blue mafia, these gangsters are still no match for those powerful pirates.

Capone Bege's current bounty is only fifty or sixty million Berries, which is terrible.

From the Ippo Navy to the Happo Navy of the Flower Country, each pirate navy has more than a thousand men.

Even the weaker Eight Treasures Navy now has more than 1200 members. Their former pillar, Cone Green Pepper, has a bounty of over 5 million Berries, and the current pillar, Cai Yi, has a bounty of over 2 million Berries.

From the first to the eighth samurai groups of the Land of Mulberry, their combined strength was no less than that of the Eight Treasures Navy, making them extremely powerful.

Huang Mu felt that dealing with the West Sea Mafia would not increase their bounty or reputation at all.

Only by defeating the Eight Treasures Navy of the Flower Country and the Eight Samurai Group of the Mulberry Country can the Luo Ji Pirates truly become famous throughout the seas.

These two superpowers in the West Blue are not only member states of the World Government, but also renowned pirate nations.

Aside from the Four Emperors, even the Seven Warlords of the Sea and other great pirate crews would find it difficult to defeat these two powerful pirate allied nations.

“There is a blind swordsman on Twin Serpent Island who is just as powerful as you. I would like to recruit him as our partner.”

Luo Ji clenched his fist slightly, looking at Yi Xiao with unwavering determination. This down-on-his-luck swordsman now only had benevolence and righteousness left, seemingly lacking any leadership or money-making abilities, and had actually lost himself to the casino.

It's unclear whether he wanted to stay at the casino and have a place to call home.

But it must be said that Yixiao, burdened with the guilt of national subjugation, has nowhere to go and doesn't know what to do, so he can only continue to waste time in the casino.

"A blind swordsman as powerful as me? Then I'll have to give him a good thrashing!"

Huang Mu's eyes lit up. If another powerful person joined them, their strength would become much greater.

At that time, we won't be afraid of even two admirals, let alone one.

You can even go to the New World and fight the Four Emperors' pirate crews.

Thinking about this, Huang Mu also became a little excited.

I hope I won't let this friend down!
