Starting with helping Zhao Kai ascend the throne in the snow

In the world of One Piece, let's rewind to three days ago.

After Shen Qing led his men away from the Donquixote Family fleet, Doflamingo and Mihawk led Crocodile, Kuzan, Tesoro, and others toward Beehive Island.

Crocodile and Kuzan didn't ask about Shen Qing's departure. Instead, they exchanged glances, guessing that the Donquixote Family's hidden secret might lie with Shen Qing.

However, since they had only recently joined, they couldn't inquire rashly, lest it affect their status within the group.

As for Tesoro, who joined last, he was completely unaware of the inside story. Although he noticed that Crocodile and Kuzan looked strange, he still thought that Shen Qing had just left because of other matters.

After Shen Qing left, Tesoro began to contact the Silver Pirates on Silver Mine Island, but a small incident occurred during this process.

Perhaps because news of Tesoro's defeat and loss of the Golden Casino had spread, Tesoro was unable to get through to Biru by phone and finally had no choice but to send Mr. Tanaka to do it in person.

As Tesoro predicted, in the pirate world, the strong are respected. As the world's richest man with wealth and status, Tesoro was naturally very respectful to Bill.

But after Tezzolo fell from grace, Biru, persuaded by his subordinates, began to harbor rebellious thoughts. However, everything came to an abrupt end after Mr. Tanaka arrived.

Facing Mr. Tanaka, Tesoro's confidant, Biru was not confident that he could kill him. After weighing the options carefully, he finally chose to submit. After all, no matter how down on his luck Tesoro was, he was still far stronger than him. If he openly resisted, he would only face destruction.

It was precisely because of this little incident that the fleet had to stay at sea for a few more days, waiting for Mr. Tanaka and the Silver Pirates to escort Silver Bronze to their destination.

Then, while the fleet was waiting for the Silver Pirates at sea, they were inexplicably bombarded. Fortunately, Hawkeye intervened and stopped the cannonballs from hitting them.

Where did the shelling come from?

"Who has the audacity to attack us?"

"Look everyone, there's a pirate ship to the northwest. They must be the ones who did it."

As the fleet was bombarded, chaos erupted on several ships as everyone frantically searched for the source of the shelling. Soon, they spotted the pirate ship where Bondiworld was located.

Upon discovering the enemy's location, the fleet immediately changed course and headed towards the enemy's pirate ship.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Before the fleet could get close, Crocodile and Doflamingo took the lead and flew towards the enemy's ships.

Neither of them were content to stay put, and the long voyage at sea had long since bored them, so they immediately became excited upon spotting their opponent.

After seeing Doflamingo and Crocodile make their move, Hawkeye calmly sheathed his black sword and watched the events unfold from a distance.

In his mind, as long as Doflamingo and Crocodile made a move, ordinary pirate crews would be no match for them, and it wouldn't be his turn to take action.

Kuzan, standing nearby, shared the same thought; only Tesoro, being a newcomer, didn't yet have a chance to shine.

However, something that made Hawkeye frown soon happened: loud explosions were coming from the pirate ship in the distance, and the situation was getting worse.

From a distance, you could see Old Sands' desert tornado being shattered by the force of the exploding shells. As for Dover, he was as if he had been hit by a cannonball, flying backward off the ship and flying hundreds of meters across the sea before regaining his footing and avoiding falling into the sea.

"The enemy has a master." This thought popped into everyone's mind when they saw Doflamingo being knocked away and Old Sandman being blocked.

The next second, Hawkeye tapped his toes, his body soaring into the air, and then used Moonwalk to quickly rush towards the pirate ship opposite.

Seeing this, Kuzan followed suit, leaving Tesoro alone on the deck. After thinking for a moment, he called out to Hawkeye, "Hawkeye, you guys go ahead, I'll stay behind to guard the fleet."

Soon, Hawkeye and Kuzan arrived at the bow of the opposite ship, where they saw Doflamingo and Crocodile confronting a middle-aged man wearing a helmet with a broken bull horn on the deck.

"It's him, the World Destroyer, Bondiwald." The moment Kuzan saw the middle-aged man, he immediately recognized him.

As a former admiral of the Navy, after Blackbeard and Straw Hat Pony caused an unprecedented prison break in Impel Down, the Navy immediately began to investigate the identities of the escapees, including this middle-aged man who had been frozen for thirty years.

Bondiworld, a user of the Multiply-Multiply Fruit, enjoys destruction and likes to attack Navy warships, pirate ships, and even the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. His ambition to overthrow the World Government has made him one of the top targets on the World Government's wanted list.

Faced with the increasingly lawless Bondiworld, the World Government took it seriously and had Garp and Sengoku severely injure and freeze him until the Impel Down riots allowed him to escape again.

"Kuzan, do you know who he is?" Hawkeye asked curiously after Kuzan mentioned the person's name.

It's not fair to blame Hawkeye for being ignorant. Bondiworld became famous thirty years ago, when he, Roger, Whitebeard, and others were all renowned and powerful pirates on the sea. Hawkeye, as a rising star, is a long time behind Bondiworld in terms of fame. Thirty years is enough time for people to forget a lot.

Kuzan only learned about the other party's information because the Navy provided statistical data; otherwise, if he had encountered the other party himself, he might not have been able to recognize who it was.

Upon hearing Hawkeye's question, Kuzan immediately recounted all the information about Bondiworld.

"So he's a veteran powerhouse. No wonder he was able to withstand the attacks from Old Man Sand and Doflamingo." Hawkeye nodded in acknowledgment of Bondiwald's strength after hearing the news.

In the arena, Doflamingo stared at the middle-aged man opposite him with a gloomy expression, his face showing a hint of fear. Although he had been careless just now, the opponent's strength was truly formidable. His incredible speed left him no time to react before he was struck.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Dover asked in a grim tone.

"Why waste words with Flamingo? Since he dared to attack us, why not just take him down?" Old Sha brandished his golden hook, looking arrogantly at Bondiworld.

He didn't directly engage the opponent, but instead unleashed a Sandstorm attack that was blasted away by the opponent, so he doesn't know the opponent's strength.

"What an arrogant fellow! If this were thirty years ago, I would have killed you on the spot." Bondiwald sneered with disdain upon hearing Old Sha's boastful words.

Thirty years ago, he was at the peak of his life, dominating the seas with his Devil Fruit ability. However, times have changed, and now he is not confident that he can kill the two people opposite him at the same time.

What worried him even more was that the two people standing on the bow of the ship gave him an extremely dangerous aura.
