Eight Hundred Pirate Kings

Although Rosinante had been copied out for some time, he hadn’t had much interaction with Doflamingo. So although he knew that the brother in front of him was not the one he knew, he still kept a distance from him.

The two of them weren’t trying to reconcile the relationship between the two Donquixotes. After all, it wasn’t something that could be changed with two or three words.

“Captain Wexford.”

While Wexford was observing the two Donquixote brothers, Katakuri, who was leaning his back on the mast, greeted his Captain.

The first time when Wexford returned from the mission world, Katakuri sensed Wexford’s return through his Kenbunshoku Haki.

Only after Wexford approached, Katakuri said to Wexford beside him, “Captain Wexford, thanks a lot.”

Although Katakuri was sitting on the deck, the upper half of his body alone was already taller than the vast majority of people on board.

The other party’s words were astonishing. Did it mean that Katakuri knew about the completion of his mission?

Perhaps seeing Wexford’s doubts, Katakuri turned his head toward the bow and said, “Although I do not know what happened, but when you came back, Captain, I only felt very good.”

“Just a feeling?” Wexford sat next to Katakuri and leaned on the mast like he did, “It was indeed an okay thing to do.”

For this good thing that Wexford said, Katakuri didn’t go after it but still looked at the position of the bow and said, “There is Skypiea above Jaya Island. Should the ship go up to see it then?”

“You know the Skypiea?” As soon as Wexford heard Katakuri mention the empty island, he hurriedly asked after it.

Speaking of this Skypiea, Katakuri had a very deep memory. When he spent eight years in the first half of the Grand Line, he was very familiar with this sea.

At the time when Katakuri developed his power to the position of Jaya Island, he also came to this island that once had a lot of legends. Coincidentally, Katakuri and Cracker, who were preparing to return to the station, were swept to Skypiea by the rising sea current.

In the face of the powerful Katakuri, Skypiea was still under the rule of Gan Fall simply couldn’t fight against it. In just one day, Gan Fall brought the people of Skypiea to submit to the banner of Katakuri.

However, compared to the cruelty of Enel through the rule, Katakuri didn’t do anything out of the ordinary for Skypiea. The flag of the Charlotte family was left on Skypiea, and Skypiea would regularly provide the Charlotte family with the specialty of Skypiea – ‘Dials’.

Because of having such an experience, Katakuri also had a deep impression of Skypiea above Jaya Island.

After Katakuri recounted his past with Skypiea, Wexford understood why Katakuri had said what he had said before.

“Since you know the way, let’s go up once we reach Jaya Island.”

For the golden countryside Shandora, Wexford also wanted to visit. In addition to the ‘Bell’ that Katakuri said, that new god up there was more interesting to Wexford.

At the time Wexford talked about it, the god of Skypiea Gan Fall should have been overthrown. The new god Enel had taken the place of Gan Fall.

After Rosinante had Nagi Nagi no Mi, Wexford had some thoughts on various Devil Fruit, especially this Logia Devil Fruit on Enel. If it could be captured directly, it would be a big boost to the strength of these characters under Wexford.

“Jaya Island should only be a half-day voyage.” After Wexford agreed to go to Skypiea, Katakuri stood up and estimated the time to reach Jaya Island.

Wexford followed Katakuri and took a look at the direction the ship was heading, and said, “Half a day? That’s fast.”

Doflamingo had by now left the same position that Rosinante was in and came to Wexford’s side, saying, “Captain Wexford.”

After Doflamingo approached, Wexford turned his head to look at Rosinante, who was still standing in the same place, and asked, “Doflamingo, how is Rosinante’s side? I see that he still doesn’t seem to talk much.”

With a smile, Doflamingo said, “He’s just like that, don’t mind him.”

For his brother, Doflamingo was still very familiar with. Although this one came from a different world, the character of few words remained the same.

Since Doflamingo said to leave it alone first, then Wexford withdrew his gaze and continued, “When we get to Jaya Island, the pirates on the island will be in your hands.”

“No problem, I also have not been active for a long time.”

Since entering the first half of the Grand Line, Doflamingo had nothing to do, this time to receive a task from the outer repair. Nevertheless, Doflamingo was still very satisfied.

“Remember to bring Rosinante,” Wexford said, and deliberately pointed in the direction of Rosinante, and said to Doflamingo.

Doflamingo was just about to agree down, but Shanks ran over from the side and said, “Captain Wexford, let me go on this time too!”

Since Shanks was the lowest strength among the people under Wexford, he had never had the opportunity to show himself. This was very depressing for Shanks, so when he heard that Wexford had given a task to Doflamingo, he hurriedly came up to him.

Wexford glanced at the eager Shanks and smiled, “Yes, let Doflamingo take you there.”

The pirates on Jaya Island weren’t really powerful. So although the teenage Shanks was not very old, he had no problem at all dealing with those little pirates who were not well known.

""

“Okay! Thank you, Captain!”

After getting Wexford’s reply, Shanks was instantly happy. For him, this time, he was finally able to show his hand to Captain Wexford and the others.

At this time, Buggy just came out of the cabin after seeing this scene. He thought, ‘this kid didn’t know what kind of strength of pirates without being beaten up.’

Just as Buggy thought about it, Shanks also saw this buddy and shouted, “Buggy, you come with me too!”

‘Damn! You just go, why call on me!’

Buggy didn’t want to go and fight the pirates of the Grand Line. The pirates here weren’t those little pirates in the East Blue!

“I want to take care of the ship, so not….”

Buggy hadn’t finished what he said, but Wexford looked at him and said, “Since Shanks said so, then Buggy, you also follow along.”
