The Flying Admiral's Name Resounded Across the Seas!
In the New World, in a certain sea area, the flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Moby Dick, is drifting aimlessly.
Marco had just finished his afternoon nap, came out of the cabin, stretched on the deck, and saw his father sitting on the throne with his eyes closed, resting.
Turning around, Marco saw a News Coo. He casually beckoned it, and the News Coo quickly landed on the mast in front of him. After tossing a Belly to the News Coo, Marco received a newspaper in return.
"Let me see if there's anything interesting happening today..." Marco muttered to himself as he opened the newspaper. He paused for a moment, rubbed his eyes hard, and looked at it again.
"What!!??"
A gasp startled Newgate, who had been resting with his eyes closed. He sat up abruptly, looked to his left, and saw that the sea was perfectly calm, with nothing happening. Then he looked in the direction from which the gasp had come and saw Marco standing there, stunned, holding a newspaper.
"What's with all the startling?!" Newgate scolded, somewhat annoyed that his peaceful sleep had been disturbed.
Awakened by Newgate's voice, Marco quickly turned to his father and exclaimed, "Dad, Shiki's dead!!!"
"Shiki?" Newgate's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Did that wretched place, Impel Down, exhaust its last bit of energy?"
"No!" Marco shook his head violently, then quickly walked to Newgate's side and said, "The day before yesterday, the Revolutionary Army launched a surprise attack on the Impel Down Impel Down and rescued Shiki from inside. Then that night, Shiki and the Revolutionary Army stormed the Holy Land Mary Geoise Mary Geoise, burning it to the ground. The newspapers said that this was a terrorist attack, directly causing nearly 20,000 casualties in Mary Geoise, and even killing the Fleet Admiral of the World Government, Kessler!"
Newgate was just about to take a sip of water to clear his head, spat out the water in his mouth upon hearing this, and snatched the newspaper from Marco's hand, examining it closely.
Holy crap!
This was Newgate's first thought!
"It's really true!?" Newgate stared in disbelief at the obituary for the Fleet Admiral in the newspaper.
Is Shiki really that fierce? On his first day out of prison, he flew to Mary Geoise and killed the Fleet Admiral of the World Government!?
Looking further ahead, we see Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Bane Ortolan, Commander of G-5 Base, who was on leave in Marineford at the time. He rushed to Mary Geoise to provide support and fought a fierce battle with Shiki throughout the night. At dawn that day, in the waters at the gateway to the New World, he killed Shiki!
Looking at the newspaper photos of Ortolan's battered state and the gruesome state of Shiki's corpse, Newgate couldn't help but sigh, "It seems the World Government must have given that Ortolan a death order back then..."
However, this situation is completely understandable. Shiki's arrogance has turned the entire Mary Geoise upside down, trampling on the dignity of the world's government, and then spitting on it afterward.
Will the government of this world let him go?
However, Newgate was genuinely shocked that Bane Ortolan was able to kill Shiki in one night.
Soon, Newgate looked at Shiki's body, the ship's wheel on his head, and then considered that Shiki had been imprisoned for a long time, and had just been released when he encountered the prime-age Ortolan... Such an ending was only to be expected.
"Although Shiki died at the hands of Ortolan, he... can be considered to have reached the pinnacle of the pirate profession..." Newgate thought with some admiration.
Although Shiki was killed, his feat of burning Mary Geoise and killing the Fleet Admiral in front of the World Government, right in the World Government's headquarters, can be said to be unprecedented and unparalleled!
"Yes, Dad, I feel that after this incident, he is even more deserving of the title of Pirate King than Roger..." Marco said with great admiration.
Meanwhile, on Totto Land Cake Island in Totto Land.
Charlotte Linlin was also looking at the newspaper.
"Shiki... is he dead?" A flicker of reminiscence crossed Charlotte Linlin's eyes, but it was only for a moment before she burst into laughter, saying, "Hahahaha, burning Mary Geoise, taking down the Fleet Admiral... truly worthy of being the Pirate Overlord who once suffocated all the Great Pirate of the New World! Even in death, he had to die gloriously! He didn't disgrace us pirates!!!"
"Torun killed him, and looking at the current situation of the World Government, perhaps he will soon become Marine Admiral, Mom." Katakuri said with emotion as he stood beside Charlotte Linlin, looking at the newspaper.
Charlotte Linlin grinned and said, "That's right, Shiki did a good job. Before he died, he took down the Fleet Admiral the World Government's army. As a result, the entire Marines will have to make some changes. With that brat's achievements, seniority, and strength, he should be able to get the position of Marine Admiral!"
After a slight pause, Charlotte Linlin said, "That brat is so arrogant. If the World Government doesn't make him Admiral this time, he'll definitely go crazy, and he'll definitely quit the Marines. Maybe he'll even come back to inherit our family business? Hahaha, anyway, it's good for me! Well done, Shiki, you did a great job!!!"
After laughing heartily, Charlotte Linlin turned her attention back to the Revolutionary Army, saying, "Originally, I thought this Revolutionary Army was just an ordinary bunch, being chased around by CP's hounds. Now it seems they have some potential. This major event might allow them to turn the tables... They're certainly qualified to be the vanguard of a king. Perhaps many ambitious individuals will focus their attention on them... Quickly, as long as they aren't crushed by the World Government's subsequent retaliation, the Revolutionary Army should quickly grow stronger..."
Katakuri glanced at his mother and thought to himself, "You must be one of these ambitious people, right?"
Thinking of this, Katakuri asked, "Is there anything we need to do?"
"Sure thing!" Charlotte Linlin said without hesitation, "I have plenty of chips in my hand, and with such a promising stock appearing, it's only right to place a couple of bets..."
After a moment's thought, Charlotte Linlin said, "Spread the word in the Underworld that if the Revolutionary Army is willing to abide by the rules of Totto Land, then they will be allowed to enter my territory to rest in the New World."
Charlotte Linlin thought that if Dragon hadn't gone mad, he wouldn't have dared to start any revolution in Totto Land.
Moreover, although she is a pirate, Charlotte Linlin is still quite proud. The standard of living, public satisfaction, safety index, and happiness index of the entire Totto Land Totto Land are among the best in the New World!
The Revolutionary Army is sick; they've come here to start a revolution!?
He caused trouble here on the first day, and he can get out of this New World on the second day.
After all, Totto Land Totto Land Island is no longer just Big Mom Pirates's Totto Land Totto Land Island. At the same time, it is also the trading center of the G-5 Marines and a partner in a whole host of technologies, including arms and technology. It is also a key partner of many of the Shichibukai. Anyone who dares to touch Whole Totto Land is essentially taking away the cake of a large group of people in the New World. If you want to make a name for yourself in the New World, who would dare to offend these people?
Black, white, gray—it's all good!
How many divisions does the Revolutionary Army have?
"Is this enough?" Katakuri asked softly.
"That's enough for now. Whether they can get me to place more bets depends on their subsequent performance..." Charlotte Linlin waved her hand and said.
On this day, the world was shocked by Shiki and the Revolutionary Army's madness!
After years of silence, the name of Shiki the Golden Lion, the Flying Pirate Overlord, once again resounded throughout the entire sea!
It seems everyone is reminiscing about the pirate era when the New World was suppressed by the Golden Lion!
That lion, who had often boasted of storming Mary Geoise and smashing the World Government to pieces, kept his arrogant promise in the last moment of his life!
In such a brutal yet brilliant way, he etched his name, like a branding iron, into the long river of history, so that it would never be covered by dust again, nor be swallowed up by Impel Down's Infinite Hell like an unknown piece of trash.
In the eyes of countless pirates, at this moment, Shiki the Golden Lion... his title of Flying Admiral is no less than that of the Pirate King!
On this day, he raised his throne!
