sion was filled with the satisfaction of being conquered.She had never seen such a perfect man, wild, domineering, and defiant.Although her first time was last night because of her husband's preferenc...Target island, in and out of the sea.

A warship floated on the turbulent sea surface.

"Report to the Warring States General, Bundy Waldo has landed on the target island and is heading towards the designated location."

A messenger standing on the platform lowered his telescope, turned to face General Sekiguchi who was standing on deck with his arms crossed and bowed deeply.

"Well, can you see how many people he brought"

During the Warring States period, he used a telescope to observe the movements on distant islands. His brows were tightly furrowed, as if they had been filled in with black ink.

The warship was a considerable distance from the target island. Even with the Navy Headquarters' most precise telescope, all he could see was a faint line of black dots slowly moving in the wind and snow.

Bonney Waldo is, after all, one of the top powerhouses on this sea. For safety's sake and to avoid being detected by his powerful Observation Haki, the Warring States side must keep a certain safe distance from his ship.

Although this individual's threat to the Marines and the World Government stems largely from his Devil Fruit powers rather than his own combat prowess.

The exact number is unknown, but it can be confirmed that most of the pirates were stationed on the four pirate ships docked at the shore.

"Four"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo was taken aback. His eyes narrowed slightly beneath his black-rimmed glasses.

According to information, the Ward pirates have expanded their ranks over this period of time, with their fleet now consisting of five pirate ships, isn't that right

The messenger replied:

"Yes, a general from the Warring States period, but for reasons unknown, one of the pirate ships did not dock. We have lost sight of it."

"He's really careful, isn't he..." Polusalino said without looking up as he picked at his nails.

Zhàn Guó ignored the scoundrel, his brows furrowed tighter, his face grave as he muttered:

"Is this Jack's work"

Being the deputy captain of the Ward Pirates and Bandit Wallow's older brother, Jack doesn't possess the physical strength or fighting ability common among pirates. However, he excels in wisdom and caution, qualities that set him apart from his fellow buccaneers.

As a core member and strategist of the Ward Pirates, he serves as the pirate crew's mastermind. His intellect complements Bondi Waldo's immense strength, creating a formidable threat.

It was thanks to Blackjack's cunning that, in numerous past campaigns, Bondo Waldo managed to escape capture, leaving the Navy with nothing but failure.

"Warring States General, our target has already landed. When do we make our move"

A squad member hurried over and whispered,

Sengoku looked at the leisurely Polsalino sitting there, pondering for a moment before speaking in a low voice:

Just a moment longer…

He pulled out a military communication bug from his pocket, his gaze fixed on the dormant bug.

"...waiting for Colonel Darrin's signal."

……

On a deserted island.

Wind and snow drifted down from the overcast sky, and Bundy Waldo, with hundreds of pirates at his back, trudged through the icy wasteland.

Breath in the frigid air condensed into white frost. Benjy, sitting on Bundy Waldo's shoulder, instinctively tightened his wool coat.

All the way, there was an eerie silence. Before me lay a vast expanse of land and snow-capped mountains that seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance.

"Wald… I have a bad feeling about this."

Jack looked at the snow-covered mountains and plains, silent as death, and shivered.

"Hahaha, brother, you're thinking too much. As long as we get our hands on the weapons, we'll leave this island immediately... By then, with the whole world out there, where can't we go"

Bondy Waldo smiled reassuringly at Ben, his eyes burning with a fierce, consuming ambition.

"No, I didn't mean that."

Ben shook his head, his sickly pallor seeming to deepen in the chill of the weather.

"Our strides have been too great; since we set sail, we have been in a constant state of killing and warfare."

"The bounty skyrocketed for unknown reasons, and that Warring States guy hasn't let up on us... more and more people are flocking to join our Roger Pirates. Our crew's size has far surpassed what the Marines can handle."

And...

He hesitated, his gaze lingering on Bundy Wald with a look in his eyes that was too complex to describe.

"You've changed, Waldo."

"You've become increasingly bold and reckless, treating human life as insignificant. You rampage through everything in your path... If you continue like this, we will inevitably face unforeseen consequences."

Bonnie Waldo suddenly stopped walking.

The pirate crew members behind him also subconsciously stopped their steps, looking at their captain with some bewilderment.

Withered snowflakes drifted down from the sky, dotting Bondi Valdor's helmet, shoulders, and body. The smile on his face had vanished.

"Brother, what are you trying to say"

Bonnie Waldo's voice dropped to a low murmur.

"Don't you remember our dreams ... Traveling the world, wasn't that your original dream"

"No, Waldo, I haven't forgotten."

Jack shook his head, his eyes clouded with confusion.

Even now, I still want to travel the world. On the vast ocean, I want to witness different styles and scenery with my own eyes and find the freedom of life!

"It was you who truly forgot about this dream."

When was it that we were playing on a never-before-visited island, laughing freely and carefree

Don't you remember

"What you enjoy now is not travel, nor adventure. What you enjoy...is killing and destruction."

"As your power grew, especially after you obtained that Devil Fruit, you changed. You seemed like a completely different person..."

Your desire to destroy and annihilate grows stronger, your ambitions ever more expansive. You seek to obliterate all that stands in your way… world government vessels, naval fleets, even innocent civilians and towns, are all consumed by your wrath.

"— They forced me to do this!!"

Bonnie Waldo suddenly snapped, cutting her own brother off mid-sentence.

His forehead was creased with veins, his expression contorted, his fists clenched tightly.

If I don't do this, how can we support our dreams!

"Traveling the world isn't just a slogan, we need money, we need strength. I only have to keep destroying, plundering, and breaking things... in order to make those who want to wipe us out fear and dread us!!"

"With the power of the Momo no Mi, I could be the ruler of this sea! Why shouldn't I"

"Just stand there behind me and watch, brother..."

"I will destroy anyone who tries to stand in our way... the Marines and the World Government will both kneel before my, Bonney! "

After finishing his words, a ruthless smirk once again curled up the corner of his mouth as he strode towards the distance.

Ben Jack sat on his shoulders, staring blankly at his profile, sighing in his heart.
