Approaching war

And almost as soon as Nicholas left, these members of the Tri-Gem Navy hurriedly left Chuju Island with their leader and the quasi, who had just been taught a lesson by Nicholas, who had just begun to form the prototype of his martial arts.

After all, for them, the Tri-Gem Navy, without its main forces, had no reason to stay on the island any longer. As for whether the Flower Country would send another navy after receiving the news, it was not their concern.

After returning to the tavern, Nicholas went straight to his room and did not come out.

And he specifically reminded Carter and others not to disturb him unless it was necessary, apart from delivering food, until the eruption of the Wine God.

It was almost half a day later when there was a knock on the door.

Nicholas withdrew the lightning around his body, got up, opened the door, and brought the food left at the door into the room.

After a while, Nicholas finished his meal and took out a Den Den Mushi to make a call.

"Bulu bulu ~ bulu bulu ~"

To Nicholas's surprise, when the Den Den Mushi was connected, the gradually changing face was not Stussy's but that of a creature with a particularly foolish look.

Just as Nicholas was puzzled, there was a sound of a walking falcon in the Den Den Mushi, and then the face of the Den Den Mushi changed to feature Stussy's face.

"What's up, Nicholas?" Stussy asked casually.

"Nothing much; things here probably won't be finished for a few days. Contact Sister Shakky and ask her to get our reward from the captain. She can give it to me later. Also, how is the search for a place to stay going?" Nicholas replied.

Upon hearing Nicholas's words, there was silence at the other end of the Den Den Mushi for a long time before Stussy's voice came with a hint of helplessness: "Nicholas, are you really going to leave us in the East Sea and go to the New World alone? You should understand, with my abilities, even if..."

Before Stussy could finish, Nicholas interrupted her.

"I know your abilities, but this matter is complicated. Many forces will be involved; even those bastards within the Rox internal have different ideas. And if it's just me, I can guarantee I can get out alive, but if you guys come along, I may not be able to handle it."

Upon hearing Nicholas's words, Stussy was stunned for a moment.

And Vista and Simon beside the Den Den Mushi also fell silent. What Nicholas said was indeed true. They had witnessed the battles between those captains. Those battles could be said to have been earth-shattering.

But in the upcoming battle, these strong men might all fall, let alone them.

"I understand. I'll contact Sister Shakky as soon as possible," Stussy said.

After that, the two exchanged some simple matters and ended the call.

Nicholas then dialed another number, and after a short while, he heard screams of pain and muffled sounds of impact coming from the Den Den Mushi.

Listening to the sounds coming from the Den Den Mushi, Nicholas wondered if he should not have made this call. But looking at the sun still hanging in the sky outside, Nicholas could only say in one sentence that the King of the Sea is indeed extraordinary. This guy really plows the land like no other.

It was clear that the kidneys of the world of pirates are really impressive.

"Hey, little Nicholas, what's up?" On the other end of Den Den Mushi, Rox's voice came.

"Captain, I'm currently on Chuju Island and won't be able to return to the New World for a short time. Please arrange for Sister Shakky to hold onto our agreed reward," Nicholas said.

"Sure, no problem. Also, Nicholas, you'd better solve the matter at hand quickly, or you'll miss the world-shaking performance that's about to begin," Rox said.

Upon hearing Rox's words, Nicholas was speechless.

This guy is really looking for trouble, and there's such a world-shaking stage. He couldn't help but say, He's not like those privileged ones. He just wants to be a small figure. After all, he's still young, and he hasn't truly reached the peak of his strength yet. It's too early to make a big deal. He's not like those relationship holders like Luffy. Making a big deal will only make people think about him.

"No problem, I won't bother you," Nicholas said, hanging up the phone.

He then began to explore the Navy's Rokushiki.

It can be said that Rokushiki develops the body deeply, allowing ordinary people to have the physique of monsters.

In the world of pirates, there are those who easily destroy the world through training bodies and haki to the pinnacle, but there are also people who have natural-born strength, like Fishman Arlong, who was once proud of the fact that Fishman was born stronger than humans but completely lacked in the development of the body.

What Nicholas really envied was the rejuvenation after Rokushiki. Rokushiki can be said to be used as long as the body meets the requirements and the basic principles are mastered. But rejuvination requires talent.

Learning to rejuvinate is not easy. Nicholas doesn't think he can learn it in one or two days. He's even been prepared for a long time, because being able to become larger, longer, and thicker is really cool.

...

A week later.

In the early morning, Nicholas sat at the bar, sipping wine and looking down at the latest newspaper he had just received from the news gull.

It can be said that the newspaper is one of the few ways to obtain information by paying a small amount of money on the vast sea.

Of course, these reports are not considered top-secret, but it is already very good to be able to receive the latest news in a timely manner on the vast sea.

Therefore, Nicholas has also developed a good habit of reading newspapers.

Basically, the recent reports are all about the New World. After all, now the World Government, the Marines, and the Rox Pirates have all signaled that they are about to start a comprehensive war.

Apart from that, the Supernovas, who used to attract attention every year, have become passersby. Either because they joined the Rox Pirates, were caught by the Marines, or were killed in battles with other pirates, they could only make it to the newspaper when they joined the Rox Pirates, were caught by the Marines, or were killed in battles with other pirates. There is no attention given to them at other times.
