Chapter 57:
Watching the pirates slaughtering each other in front of him,
Golden Lion Shiki, sitting beside Rocks, looked on with complete disdain in his eyes.
Trash pirates like these — he could kill a large group with a single sword.
"Jie hahahaha! Jie hahahahahaha!"
"I also want to see what makes this Vilin guy worthy of being compared to me, Golden Lion Shiki!"
"Jie hahahaha! Jie hahahahahaha!"
Hearing that Vilin would become the seventh division captain of the Rocks Pirates,
Golden Lion Shiki couldn't help letting out mad laughter.
He kept scanning around.
But then Shiki grimly discovered
that the subordinates he had recruited were all looking at Rocks sitting beside him with fanatic eyes.
This caused dissatisfaction to flash in his eyes.
However, Shiki quickly hid that dissatisfaction.
"Gurararara!"
"I also want to meet this interesting young man!"
Edward Newgate watched the chaos below with some displeasure in his eyes.
But in the end, he said nothing.
Newgate had looked into Vilin before.
He discovered that Vilin's pirate crew never plundered civilians.
They only targeted greedy nobles.
This made Newgate very interested in Vilin.
"Heh, I'm Captain John."
"I only care about precious treasure!"
John casually played with an ancient gold coin in his hand.
He lifted his shoehorn face and took a fierce swig of wheat beer.
Silver Axe's temper was extremely explosive.
He directly grabbed the axe beside him and swung it.
"No matter who wants to become the next captain, they have to ask if my axe agrees!"
Wang Zhi silently looked at everyone present.
His gaze finally settled on Shiki.
A faint fighting spirit shot out from his eyes.
The only woman sitting on the high platform, Gloriosa, saw these guys acting so crudely.
She disdainfully curled her lip and muttered:
"That bitch Shakky actually took the initiative to intercept this mission — truly unexpected!"
New World – second half, Lion King Island.
This place was dominated by one of the three strongest pirate crews in the New World.
The Lion King Pirates.
Today, all the executives of the Lion King Pirates had gathered inside a massive lion-head-shaped building in the center of the island.
In front of each of them lay a bounty poster.
Aitrias Vilin – 300 million Berry bounty, extremely evil, dead or alive.
Today's meeting was about the Lion King Pirates' stance toward the Aitrias Pirates.
"Captain Earl Jones, I believe we should try to recruit him."
"The Rocks Pirates are expanding too fast!"
"They already have more than 20,000 famous pirates."
"And they have seven monsters whose strength rivals elite Vice Admirals."
"They have already seriously threatened our Lion King Pirates' rule in the second half of the New World."
"We should also pull in some powerful outside pirate crews to increase our strength."
Lion King Earl Jones, sitting at the head of the meeting table, showed no reaction to Connor Findis' words.
Suddenly,
Earl Jones' sons Lucas and Ox stood up in opposition.
"Impossible!"
"Our Lion King Pirates are one of the three overlords of the New World!"
"My father possesses the world's strongest Mythical Zoan – Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Lion King."
"He is a pirate with a 1.5 billion Berry bounty."
"How could we possibly fear the Rocks Pirates!"
Hearing Lucas and Ox oppose, Earl Jones' other sons also stood up.
Soon some executives started arguing with Simba's sons over recruiting Vilin.
Earl Jones saw everyone holding their own opinions.
He felt a headache coming on.
In the end, Earl Jones slammed the table and decided:
"I'll think about this carefully. We'll discuss it after I make a decision."
Hearing Earl Jones' answer, Connor Findis sat back down heavily.
Seeing everyone settle down and start discussing protection fees,
Earl Jones finally breathed a sigh of relief.
How could he not know the current situation of the Lion King Pirates?
But Earl Jones already felt his body beginning to age.
He was already over sixty years old.
Earl Jones now just wanted to properly train his children to gradually take over his forces.
If he introduced powerful outsiders now, he was afraid his children wouldn't be able to control them.
In the end, he would lose the foundation he had worked so hard to build.
This could be seen from his already graying hair.
As for the other two pirate crews in the New World,
they disdainfully looked at Vilin's bounty poster and casually tossed it on the ground.
A guy who hadn't even ventured into the New World yet wasn't worth inviting.
Sabaody Archipelago.
Vilin was lying on Shana's massive soft mounds, feeling her heartbeat.
This made the silver-haired Longleg girl look at Vilin with a shy face.
Suddenly,
Vilin saw Annie flying toward him.
Her face was full of seriousness.
"Captain Vilin, while patrolling the sky, I discovered a Navy warship heading this way."
"This warship looks exactly the same as the one that intercepted us at Water 7."
Hearing that Zephyr had caught up,
Vilin stood up with a slightly grave expression.
"Go notify our combatants to gather at the pier."
"Also tell Sophia to move our ship to a safe place."
"It's time to show the people of the New World the strength of the Aitrias Pirates!"
"Yes, Captain."
Upon hearing that Vilin was going to lead them against the Navy, even Annie became somewhat excited.
Soon all of Vilin's crew gathered on Island 19, waiting for Zephyr's arrival.
The Aitrias Pirates had now been divided into seven combat squads, each with a squad leader.
They were:
1st Squad: Caitlin Position: Sniper Strength: Navy Headquarters Rear Admiral Haki: Armament (Beginner), Observation (Beginner) Abilities: Mastered Six Powers, specializes in firearms, proficient in close-quarters combat.
2nd Squad: Aelria Devil Fruit: Paramecia-type Power-Power Fruit user Position: Helmsman Strength: Navy Headquarters Rear Admiral Haki: Armament (Beginner), Observation (Beginner) Abilities: Mastered Six Powers, proficient-level fighting skills.

7th Squad: Ellie Devil Fruit: Zoan-type Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Purple Kite Position: Combatant Strength: Navy Headquarters Rear Admiral Haki: Armament (Beginner), Observation (Awakened) Abilities: Mastered Six Powers, specializes in shooting and assassination.
These were the squad leaders Vilin had trained.
Each squad had four members.
They had all mastered the Six Powers.
Some members had even awakened one type of Haki.
In addition, the Aitrias Pirates had the female swordsman Fiona, whose Armament and Observation Haki had reached intermediate level, giving her the strength of an ordinary Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral.
