Return to the Sea
"Help?"
Sirius raised an eyebrow. "What kind of help?"
Senior Golden Lion raised his hand and gently tapped the half of the ship's rudder on his head. "Have him help me get this thing down."
That's a great idea.
For Luo, this was not a problem at all.
Even though the ship's rudder has become completely fused with the head of the Golden Lion due to the passage of time, it's still fine.
It should be noted that Luo had been able to separate the toxins from his body for a long time.
"But the problem is, Senior Golden Lion,"
Sirius laughed and said, "Why should I help you?"
Not eliminating you to prevent future trouble is already a sign of my high moral standards, okay?
"Consider it a favor I owe you, Black Wolf."
The Golden Lion said earnestly, "If you ever need my help in the future, I will never refuse."
"I see."
Sirius nodded.
Then he smiled and said, "Okay."
Agreed?
Even the Golden Lion himself didn't expect it to be so easy.
This kid is definitely no ordinary fellow.
"Luo, is everything alright?"
"It's nothing," Luo said casually.
So, after the banquet ended, the impatient Golden Lion senior went into the makeshift operating room with Law.
"So, is this really not going to cause any problems, Sirius?"
Jack asked Sirius, "If we really take the rudder off, Golden Lion will be able to use Haki, right?"
We're not friends.
Just now Sirius gave that guy a good beating.
If the Golden Lion turns hostile later, then it will truly be a case of raising a tiger to cause trouble.
Although the Golden Lion claimed to owe them a favor, in the legends of the previous era, the Golden Lion was not portrayed as someone who kept his promises.
"It doesn't matter,"
Sirius stretched and said leisurely, "If Senior Golden Lion wants to be friends with us, then we can be friends."
"If he wants to be an enemy, then of course he can be an enemy."
Sirius didn't care.
If Golden Lion really wants to fight, then as Sirius said before, defeating an enemy that Roger once defeated would feel pretty good.
"Whatever you want."
Hearing Sirius say that, Jack didn't care anymore.
Even if the rudder is removed, more than a decade cannot be fully recovered in a single surgery. Could the Golden Lion possibly defeat Sirius?
The surgery was over in just over half an hour. Luo and the refreshed Golden Lion, now without the rudder on his head, emerged from the operating room together.
"They actually took it off?"
Dr. Indigo found it unbelievable.
As a scientist under the command of the Golden Lion, he certainly knew how troublesome the ship's rudder stuck in his boss's head was.
The rudder that he couldn't fix in ten or twenty years was actually taken down by Black Wolf's ship doctor in half an hour?
Devil Fruit User really this unreasonable?
"Hehehehe!!"
The Golden Lion laughed heartily, rubbing his bald head with his right hand, then raising his left hand.
"There's nothing to be afraid of anymore!"
His left hand turned completely black, then invisible waves swirled around it, and finally black Inazuma began to radiate outwards.
Of course, Golden Lion can also use Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
"Hey, Black Wolf,"
He suddenly grinned, "Ready to take this!"
The senior's body shot out like Inazuma, and he threw a punch at Sirius.
"That guy!"
Jack gritted his teeth.
He was right!
Sirius smiled, his fist also crackling with black Inazuma, and he met the attack head-on.
Boom!
The two fists collided in mid-air, and black Inazuma filled the surrounding air.
The raging wind radiated in all directions, shattering the surrounding walls and the ceiling above.
This was just the beginning; the shockwave continued to radiate further afield, blowing away even more buildings.
"Didn't you encounter it?"
Urouge, who was blown away by the strong wind, looked completely bewildered.
That's not all.
He caught a glimpse of the sky out of the corner of his eye, and then he froze.
The sky has cracked open!
Higher in the sky, a huge crack appeared in the center of the clouds and gradually spread!
It looked as if the sky had been torn apart.
"Wow! How spectacular!"
Yamato stood behind Sirius, the wind whipping her long hair into the air.
"Just like when Father fought Whitebeard!"
The clash of Conqueror's Haki shattered the clouds!
This is the mark of a true hegemon!
"Hahaha! That's exhilarating!"
After exchanging a punch, the Golden Lion's body staggered backward.
"Long time no see, Rift Sky! The last time was back with that Sengoku guy!"
"But don't get me wrong, Black Wolf kid, I just want to reminisce about the past," the senior said. "I have no intention of fighting you."
He added, "At least until I repay this favor to you."
Sirius wasn't too surprised; he knew that the Golden Lion had probably transferred some of his obsessions about Roger onto himself.
This is quite frustrating; it's not like it's some kind of substitute literature.
"However, Senior Golden Lion,"
He looked around; the palace was almost completely reduced to ruins because of their earlier fistfight.
"Is it okay to make such a mess just because you're reminiscing about the past?"
"It doesn't matter here anymore."
The Golden Lion spoke nonchalantly, "It seems that the plans of the past ten years have been utterly useless!"
His strength has begun to recover, so what use are those ferocious beasts now?
Even combined, they wouldn't be enough for him to fight alone!
"I'm ready to return to the New World!"
The Golden Lion said, "Ha ha ha ha! Let's go see our old friends. Besides, after being absent for so many years, it's time to let the world remember my name again!"
"I see."
Sirius smiled and nodded, "Then, Senior Golden Lion, you should go back first. We still want to explore the Paradise thoroughly."
That New World will be very interesting.
With Red-Haired steadily approaching the throne of Emperor, Golden Lion returning to the seas, and himself and the others soon to return to the New World, what will become of that sea?
"Taking a stroll? What a leisurely young man."
The Golden Lion snorted.
"Then, see you in the New World."
It was time to say goodbye again. They exchanged contact information, and the Golden Lion said to contact him if they needed any help.
He couldn't wait to repay that favor.
Then, the kind-hearted Golden Lion senior sent Sirius and his crew to the surface of the sea.
They also put those islands that had been floating in the sea and sky for over a decade into the sea.
They were no longer useful, so they randomly chose the largest islands and placed them all in the nearshore area.
Then the Golden Lion, along with several of his subordinates, flew into the sky and disappeared from Sirius's sight.
"Shiki, shall we head straight back to the New World?"
"Hehehehe! Let's go say hello to our old friends first!"
Thank you so much to 'Julyfirewl' for the amazing 500 points!
