Impel Castle is a forbidden area for pirates, and because it is surrounded by windless zones inhabited by sea kings, there are almost no ships traveling in the surrounding waters.
Shiji endured the severe pain of breaking his legs. After floating and flying for a long time, he finally saw Wood's ship on the sea.
At first, Shi Ji thought it was a warship escorting death row prisoners from Impel Down City and preparing to sail back to the Navy Headquarters for execution.
However, Shi Ji soon discovered that things were not what he thought at all, because there were too many prisoners on the ship. What surprised him even more was that the young man wearing a navy cape actually killed all the prisoners.
!
There's no way this is the Navy!
Judging from Wood's behavior alone, Shiji had already judged that Wood could not be an orthodox navy at all.
But regardless of whether Wood and the others are marines or not, these are no longer important to Shiji.
Because looking at the large sea area around him, the warship in front of him was the only place he could find a place to stay.
Regardless of whether Wood and the others are real navy or fake, he, Shi Ji, has decided to order this ship!
"Your Excellency must be the famous Golden Lion Shiji. Now the navy should be chasing you everywhere. I wonder what you are doing by running to our ship?"
Nowadays, Shi Ji's feet have just become crippled. Although they were simply bandaged with his trouser legs, the blood seeping out of them is dripping from the air from time to time.
Because of the battle with Magellan, Ame no Shiru and the others, Shiji was also suffering from many injuries at this moment. However, even so, the aura exuding from the legendary big pirate should not be underestimated.
In the theatrical version, Woods basically died in a plot killing, and Shirley is a character who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Roger and Whitebeard. He has to be strong and strong, and he has to be strong.
Even though his strength may have been affected to some extent since he broke his legs, he probably wouldn't be killed by Luffy who hadn't even learned "Fourth Gear".
Not only Shiki, Zefa, as a former navy admiral, after establishing the new navy, was able to fight Kizaru back and forth, and finally fell into Luffy's hands.
Anyway, it’s just a sentence, Oda knows how to be a hammer pirate, and once Luffy’s halo is turned on, no matter he is a legendary pirate or a former general, everyone will kneel down!
However, Wood is not Luffy, he does not have the destiny of being the chosen one, and he does not have a big boss to help him forcefully cheat and get some fantasy beast fruit.
Now looking at the golden lion coming, Wood could only remain calm and confront it.
Now I am no longer the cannon fodder who is slaughtered casually in the life simulation. Two years of hard work have improved Wood's strength too much.
Shi Ji's current physical strength is huge, and his injuries are extremely serious. Even if he is a big shot, if he is about to start a fight, he has no chance of winning.
"Kid, you must not be in the navy. I have been in the sea for so many years, and I have seen a lot of marines. I have never seen many such cruel and ruthless guys as you.
But since you know that my name is Golden Lion, you should also understand that I am completely different from the trash fish you just slaughtered."
Golden Lion Shiji is good at scheming and ruthless means. Generally speaking, if he can take action, he will usually not beep.
The reason why he did not choose to take action directly this time was that he admired Wood's previous display of strength and ruthless methods.
On the other hand, Shiji, the Golden Lion, doesn't have much sailing skills. If he kills Wood and the others at a glance, he doesn't know how long it will take to find the next island.
"Your Excellency guessed wrong. You can tell by looking at our clothes that we are from the Navy Headquarters.
You are a great pirate comparable to Roger, the Pirate King. We know that we cannot arrest you with our own strength. If you do not want to be surrounded by the approaching navy, it is better to advise you to leave as soon as possible.
You must know that every warship in the Navy has special phone bugs. Your Excellency has been fighting fiercely in the Impel City for a long time, and now you should be unable to fight against the highest combat force coming from our headquarters."
If possible, Wood did not want to take action against Golden Lion Shiji. On the one hand, he was unsure about it, and on the other hand, he was worried that the warship would be destroyed due to the battle between the two.
Once the warship is destroyed, it is almost certain that he will be arrested by the chasing navy since he cannot fly like Shiji.
He, Wood, had just defected from the navy, and he didn't want to be arrested by friendly forces not even a day after he became a pirate.
"Kid, you don't have to bluff me. I'm not a fool. I know that you are the traitor those people said before pushing forward the city.
Now I'm too lazy to talk in circles, so I'll just ask directly, I admire your strength and character very much, do you want to hang out with me?"
Hearing what Golden Lion said, Wood was also a little dumbfounded. He had just defected from the Navy. He had been a pirate for less than a day and was already attracted by a big shot?
Before joining the navy, he was spotted by Navy Admiral Zefa. Now that he has just become a pirate, he is spotted by the great pirate Golden Lion Shiji.
Wood even began to wonder if he also had an aura with strange effects. Why did some people always want to accept him as their younger brother?
And coincidentally, both Shiji and Zefa later gave experience to Luffy in the theatrical version...
Shiji would extend an olive branch to Wood, on the one hand, because the strength Wood had shown before was indeed remarkable, and his ruthless character was indeed in line with Shiji's wishes.
On the other hand, Shi Ji has been in Impel Down for two years, and his former younger brother is either starting his own business or wandering off to some nook and cranny.
If you want to re-form the pirate team and sail the sea, a younger brother is naturally indispensable, and Wood is good in Shiji's opinion, at least qualified to be his younger brother.
"I appreciate Brother Shiji's kindness, but the reason why I defected from the navy is because I'm tired of being the little brother who is bossed around.
These guys I rescued before didn’t recognize me as their boss, so they were killed by me. Now it’s impossible for me to be someone else’s little brother.”
Sengoku asked Wood to be an undercover pirate. In fact, it was not bad to infiltrate Shiji's "Flying Pirates". After all, Shiji was somewhat of a figure among the pirates, and the information he obtained should not be bad.
However, if you join someone else's pirate group, you will lose more autonomy. Moreover, Shiji is suspicious and cruel by nature. Wood feels that there is really no future in being the other party's younger brother.
"Jie hahahahaha, since this is your choice, then go to hell!"
In response to Wood's stubbornness, Shiji was grinning widely one second, but the next second he slashed at Wood with two knives in his hands.
