But in recent days, pirates had been landing one after another.
At the original location of the port, no less than forty or fifty pirate ships had been docked. These were just the pirates who were openly landing on the island.
The rest of the ordinary pirate crews didn't dare to dock their ships in such a conspicuous place.
Therefore, with a realistic estimate, more than a hundred pirate crews had gathered on Cake Island.
It should be known that at the two-Emperor battle on Guajima, the gathered pirate crews were only eighty or ninety, not even as many as now.
Moreover, in the coming period, even more pirates would arrive.
On this day, at noon.
The sun hung high in the sky, but there was a chill on the island, and the cold wind howled.
The major pirate crews on the island were searching for something everywhere. They weren't afraid of the cold, and diligently dug for treasure in the ruins.
Where there were people, there would inevitably be disputes. Moreover, everyone was a pirate, so conflicts were inevitable.
In front of a frozen large house, two pirate crews had a conflict.
The captains of both sides were hostile to each other, and both believed that this place belonged to them. In the distance, more pirates were watching with greedy eyes, forcefully spectating.
Vladimir belonged to one of the spectators.
He had just flown here from the Calm Belt near the West Sea today. After quietly landing, he put away his wings and light armor, and mingled among the pirates in human form.
Looking at the two pirate crews from afar, Vladimir immediately felt bored, "Why aren't they fighting? Why use words when things can be solved with fists?"
Hearing this, a young pirate wrapped in a thick fleece robe next to him laughed, "They don't dare to fight. There are so many people around, and they're happy to pick up the scraps."
Vladimir raised an eyebrow, "Who are you?"
"Huh?" The young man was stunned, "Weren't you asking me just now?"
"Who asked you."
Vladimir glanced at him. In his perception, this person's physique was very strong, and his aura was thick. He was probably the strongest of the hundreds of pirates present.
It was precisely because of this that Vladimir had deliberately approached this person.
He suspected that this person was a Devil Fruit ability user, and was thinking about whether to find a place to kill him later, in order to plunder the other party's Devil Fruit ability.
He came to Cake Island, on the one hand, to wipe out all the pirates in one fell swoop and suppress them all. On the other hand, of course, he wanted to kill some ability users and plunder their fruits.
For this reason, Vladimir had specially bought a large batch of fruits before entering Cake Island, all kinds, everything.
At this time, the young man muttered, "Very arrogant, young man. It might be fine in other places, but in this place, you have to be careful of getting killed."
Cake Island now was truly a place where thousands of pirates were as common as dogs, and pirates with bounties over 100 million walked all over the place. Just the pirate captains alone numbered over a hundred, and each one had a bounty of over 100 million.
Adding in some combatants and powerful executives, there were at least two or three hundred pirates with bounties over 100 million.
In this place, pirates with bounties over 500 million could barely shake a bit and show off their power.
However, hearing the young man's words, Vladimir couldn't help but laugh.
Although it wasn't time to close the net yet, if someone provoked him, he wouldn't mind slapping them to death...
"Listening to you, you seem to be very powerful." Vladimir asked, "What pirate crew are you from?"
"Saying it will scare you to death!"
The young man grinned and said, "I'm from the Flying Sky Pirates, a combatant, Daros, bounty of 300 million."
"300 million?"
Vladimir nodded. This bounty was also for a combatant in a Yonko pirate crew. Of course, it wasn't as good as an executive. Executives had bounties of at least 700, 800, or 900 million, or even over 1 billion.
"Wait, the Flying Sky Pirates?"
Suddenly, Vladimir came back to his senses, "Under the command of the great pirate Golden Lion Shiki?"
Hearing this, Daros immediately grinned, "That's right. Recently, the Flying Sky Pirates have made a comeback, and the great pirate Golden Lion Shiki has swallowed a large piece of territory. I only joined not long ago, otherwise I would definitely be the vice-captain!"
After a pause, he said smugly, "Looking at you, you probably haven't been in the New World for long, right? As a senior, I advise you, you can't judge a book by its cover. The current Cake Island is a playground for a group of monsters. Don't talk nonsense if you have nothing to do, or you'll provoke some strong people."
He deliberately emphasized the word "strong people," obviously referring to himself.
Vladimir smiled noncommittally, "I also want to advise you, you can't judge a book by its cover. For example, do you know who I am? Saying it will scare you to death."
He felt that this guy was quite interesting, and temporarily extinguished the thought of killing him.
"Who are you?" Daros was stunned. For some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart, "What pirate crew are you from?"
"I'm from..." Vladimir opened his mouth, and silently said, "The Phantom!"
Although he didn't make a sound, Daros still understood from the shape of his mouth.
His whole body stiffened, and he seemed to be petrified. After a long while, he gave two dry laughs.
"Old brother, you're joking, right? I... I won't be scared by a mere name!"
As he said this, the names of several people appeared in his mind.
Shadow Fiend, ordinary member, bounty of 500 million, achievement, infiltrated the Holy Land to assassinate a Celestial Dragon, successful!
Ibaraki, ordinary member, fought with an Admiral, and escaped calmly!
Nine-Tailed Fox, executive, former Warlord of the Sea, once injured two Admirals!
Knight King, executive, great swordsman, defeated one of the Big Mom Pirates' four generals, Charlotte Cracker, and injured him, causing him to flee in embarrassment.
Sea Dragon, ruler of the ocean, one of the executives, bounty of 1 billion, once used his strength to snipe a Navy fleet, and forced the Navy to retreat, causing Sengoku to admit defeat, and then mixed into the two-Emperor war, forcing back the Yonko Big Mom.
Vladimir, captain, everything is a mystery!
Thinking of this, Daros shuddered, and looking at Vladimir's playful gaze, he immediately smiled sheepishly.
"Big brother, I was just joking with you! You must not take it seriously!"
...
Daros was really startled.
