I'm an undercover pirate and I'm about to become a Yonko.

A week has passed since the battle with Shiji. Regarding the battle between Shiji and Noel, because it took place in the air, no one else knew about it except both parties.

It wasn't until the navy's warships arrived at the place where the island fell that the navy discovered something was wrong.

"Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, we discovered a sunken island group!

"A marine walked up to Flying Squirrel and reported the situation to him.

When the flying squirrel heard about the sunken island, he was also a little puzzled. According to the map, this is a vast sea. How could he find the island?

The flying squirrel followed the navy's guidance and came to the place where the island sank.

Looking at the dilapidated islands in front of him, Flying Squirrel led the navy to the island.

"Go and see if anyone is alive here! Observe the situation on the island again!" As the flying squirrel issued the order, he also turned on the domineering power of seeing and hearing.

After the flying squirrel carefully sensed it, he found that he did not sense the breath of life, and then he looked around.

These broken islands were now broken into pieces. After taking a closer look at the bottom of the sea, the flying squirrel discovered that there might be islands underneath these islands.

Looking at this scene, the flying squirrel actually felt that these islands fell from the sky.

Back on the warship, Flying Squirrel reported the situation to Warring States.

When Warring States heard the flying squirrel say that the island seemed to have fallen from the sky, his mind instantly thought of his old rival, a man who looked like a lion king.

Warring States' eyes also became more serious. After listening to Flying Squirrel's report carefully, he said in a deep voice: "Check these islands and see how they compare with the islands that suddenly disappeared in previous years. Not the same island!”

After thinking about Shiji, Sengoku felt that his hunch was probably right. These islands were the ones Shiji had snatched away through his fruit ability in the past few years.

As for why these islands fell from the sky, Warring States really couldn't figure out the reason. As for Shi Ji's death, Warring States didn't dare to think about it for a while.

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the Flying Squirrel began to investigate.

.....

After several days of sailing, Noel and others finally returned to Valoran Island and their own territory.

When Noel was covered in injuries and was wrapped into a mummy by Renee and got off the boat, Elvis who came to greet him was even more shocked.

Because Noel's injuries were really serious, when he saw the bandages on Noel's body, Elvis knew that Noel was probably very seriously injured.

It is not that Noel has never been injured before, but for ordinary minor injuries, Noel will not treat them because his own self-healing ability is very amazing.

But now that he is like this, it means that with his self-healing ability, there is no way to recover. Looking at Noel's pale face, Elvis asked hurriedly.

"What happened to you? Didn't you say everything was normal before? Why was Noel so seriously injured?" Elvis asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Who did you encounter?With Noel's current strength, apart from the countless strong men in the sea, there are really too few people who can defeat him like this.

Noel smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. These injuries just look scary."

"Hmph, if you weren't an animal-type ability user, the injuries you suffered would be enough to kill you." Renee snorted at the side.

After they escaped from the island, Noel finally couldn't hold on and fainted. After everyone hurriedly carried Noel to the operating room, Renee realized how seriously injured Noel was.

The sword marks on Noel's body were so deep that one could see the bones. If it weren't for Noel's strong physique, anyone else would have died long ago.

Elvis quickly reached out to support Noel and continued to ask: "What trouble have you encountered?"

Before Noel could speak, Yamato on the side couldn't wait to say: "We met that old guy Golden Lion Shiki this time."

Hearing Shiji's name, Elvis shrank for a moment. Apparently he also knew Shiji's name.

Elvis frowned and became a little confused, obviously unable to figure out why Noel and the others collided with such a powerful figure as Golden Lion Shisky.

Then everyone walked and talked, and after returning to their residence, Yamato told Elvis all the ins and outs of the incident.

When Elvis learned that Shiji was interested in their potential and wanted to recruit them under his command, so the battle took place, he was also a little speechless.

They didn't expect that they would encounter such a thing while flying in the air. On the first voyage of the Ark, they met Shi Ji. They didn't know whether to call it good luck or bad luck.

As Yamato told it, Elvis gradually learned what happened. After mentioning that they all received guidance from Shiki, Elvis also felt a little regretful.

You must know that a powerful swordsman like Golden Lion Shiji is a rare existence. If you can have a spar with him, it will be of great benefit to you.

It was a pity that he chose to stay on the empty island this time, causing him to miss the battle with Shi Ji.

Elvis sighed and said, "I'll leave the stay-at-home mission to you next time. I haven't been on the Ark yet."

If he hadn't been shocked by Noel's injury just now, Elvis would have gone to visit the Ark. However, the Ark had already docked on the island, so Elvis was not in a hurry.

Everyone returned to Sky Island, held a grand banquet, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Before leaving, Yamato seemed to suddenly think of something, patted his head and said: "Noel, when you were fighting Shiki, Doflamingo called you, but because you were busy, I didn't. Tell you."

Noel looked at Yamato speechlessly and said, "It's been so long and you just remembered to tell me, right?"

"Hey, I just remembered it." Yamato chuckled and ran back to his room after saying that.

Noel sighed and continued to sit on the chair in a daze. At this time, Elvis, who had left, came back and sat next to Noel and said.

"I see you look worried, what's wrong?"

After Noel glanced at Elvis, he told him what happened to Gu Chen.

At the banquet, because everyone was present, no one mentioned anything about Gu Chen. Now that there were only two of them left, Noel naturally had no worries.

After listening to Noel's description, Elvis' face became ugly. What he was most worried about happened.
