At the same time, a huge pirate ship crossed the Upside Down Mountain and sailed into the Western Sea.
"General, we have arrived at the West Sea."
A pirate ran into the cabin and reported the latest route trends to his captain.
"I see."
In the kitchen of the cabin, Wang Zhi picked up the wine bowl in his hand and drank it down in one gulp, then got up and walked out.
The Wang Zhi Pirates are a little different from other pirates. All the crew members call Wang Zhi "General", which is different from other traditional titles.
Of course, Wang Zhi was dressed like an ancient general, wearing the traditional golden armor of a general and a string of red tassels on his helmet.
Wang Zhi walked to the deck and looked at the surface of the West Sea with complicated eyes.
Little is known about his origin now. He was actually from the Western Sea. Ever since he joined the Rocks Pirate Ship, he has not returned to his hometown for decades.
"General, are you okay now?"
One of the men, a one-armed man wearing a black leather jacket, walked up to Wang Zhi.
His name is Wu Lai, and he is the helmsman of this pirate ship. He followed Wang Zhi many years ago, and he is now the second-ranking person on the ship.
Originally there was a vice-captain in his position on the ship, but the vice-captain died during the battle with the Golden Lion Fleet.
"Hmph, that old guy Garp is really energetic. He's even stronger than he was back then."
Wang Zhi didn't look very good. When he returned to the Grand Line, he was chased by Garp all the way.
After his defeat in the New World, his injuries have not fully recovered, and Garp is getting stronger as he gets older.
During the Grand Line, his injuries became more serious after his battle with Garp.
Wang Zhi discovered that even if he was intact, he was no match for Garp when fighting alone.
However, he and Garp did not engage in a deadly battle. In a battle between top experts, as long as there is no deadly battle, it is still difficult to determine the winner. In the end, he successfully escaped Garp's pursuit.
But the price was that both he and his current deputy, Woolley, were covered in bandages, and occasionally blood seeped out of the white bandages.
There was no way, the original ship's doctor was also lost in the new world, and there was no time to give him the chance to recruit a new ship's doctor.
And Garp is still following behind, with no intention of giving up chasing him.
"In addition to Garp, there is also a young marine who is also very powerful. He is actually a natural devil fruit user. There are so many new talents in the navy."
Woolley recalled the scene of being chased by Garp before, and he was still a little frightened at this time.
This world-famous naval hero is really too strong, and he even doubts that the golden lion may be able to defeat that guy Garp.
"General, why do we come to Xihai? Isn't it too weak to recruit new people here?"
Later, Wu Lai asked a question, asking out the doubts in his heart.
He really didn't understand his boss's choice.
Traveling in the new world all year round, he faced opponents like Golden Lion and White Beard, so he really looked down upon Wu Lai in the West Sea.
"Hmph, it's not like the Black King, a loser, actually died at the hands of the rookie navy. If this bastard hadn't died, I wouldn't have returned to the Kingdom of Leaf."
Wang Zhi explained angrily. He was a little excited, which caused more blood to seep out of his body, and many wounds burst again.
Yes, Wang Zhi is the Black King's partner in the new world.
Wang Zhi's strength provided military deterrence to the Black King, and the Black King provided him with financial support.
After all, Wang Zhi originally had a huge fleet, which required a lot of financial support.
But what I didn't expect was that both brothers suffered catastrophes in their own lives not long ago.
Wang Zhi never imagined that after his New World failed to compete with the Golden Lion, his financial backing would collapse even faster than him.
By the time he learned about the Black King's death, the Black King's original underground power had been divided up by all parties, especially the World Government, which was the first to know the news.
Wang Zhi happened to be preparing to meet with Golden Lion at that time. At that time, he knew that Jin Lion would definitely have no good intentions when he came to him.
The only miscalculation was that the Golden Lion's ambition and strength exceeded his expectations, and he was directly defeated by the Golden Lion.
The destruction of the Black King made the Wangzhi Pirates' already somewhat miserable defeat even worse. They finally decided to return to the Leaf Country, their homeland in the West Sea, to get back what originally belonged to him.
"The Kingdom of Leaves?"
Woolley was more confused.
He has followed Wang Zhi for so many years, and he has never heard his boss mention the matter of Ye Zhiguo.
"Well, the Country of Leaves is my birthplace, and it's time to take some things back."
After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he stopped talking and looked at the sea in a daze.
Decades ago, he was a civilian born in the Kingdom of Leaf, but his talent was amazing. He was promoted in the army to the position of general of the Kingdom of Leaf.
He led the army of the Kingdom of Leaves to often fight against the Babao Navy of the Kingdom of Flowers next door.
The young Wang Zhi was quite brave. During a war, he personally killed the leader of the Eight Treasure Navy, one of the Eight Treasure Navy, and severely damaged the momentum of the Kingdom of Flowers.
But when he returned to the country, the young king who had just ascended the throne at that time was afraid of his prestige, so he not only did not enjoy the honor of returning in triumph.
Instead, he accused him of supporting the bandits and even wanted to take back the wealth Wang Zhi had accumulated over the years.
You must know that every time a general in the Kingdom of Leaf kills an enemy, all the loot belongs to the general.
And Wang Zhi is the most capable of fighting among the generals of the Kingdom of Ye. His gains are astonishing. In just a few years, he has accumulated wealth that even the king is excited about.
When Wang Zhi was treated like this, he beat the new king in public in a rage. If it weren't for the love he had for promoting him during the old king's time, Wang Zhi would have wanted to kill him.
In the end, Wang Zhi was so arrogant that after beating the king, he went to sea alone and became a pirate.
A few years after Wang Zhi went to sea, he received news that the king at that time could not bear his humiliation and died of illness within a few years.
In response to this kind of internal scandal, Ye Zhiguo blocked information about Wang Zhi. As a result, Wang Zhi had been a pirate for so many years, and few people knew his origins.
"General, I have received news here. It is said that the navy that killed the Black King is still here in the West Sea. The other party should have received the news that we have entered the West Sea. Do we need to adjust our route?"
At this time, a slender man with a black turban on his head strode forward and reported the information he had collected to Wang Zhi.
This man in a turban is named Wilbur. He is the current number three figure in the Wangzhi Pirates. He is the navigator on the ship and is also responsible for collecting information.
Now the only core members of the Wangzhi Pirates are Wilbur and Wu Lai.
You must know that the Wangzhi Pirates in the complete period had huge power in the New World, and even the Navy and the World Government paid special attention to it.
It can be seen that the Wangzhi Pirates are weak after the battle with the Golden Lion.
At this time, Wilbur's report brought Wang Zhi back to the present from his memories.
