Golden Lion
"Sure... of course we can let that Old Man go first!" Shiki said meaningfully after laughing wildly.
Upon hearing Scarlet immediately spread his arms, and Wolf fell to the ground. It seemed that the Golden Lion had no intention of breaking the contract?
However, Shiki's Conqueror's Haki at this moment was truly formidable!
The Golden Lion no longer had a ship's rudder on its head, and its long golden hair flowed with its Haki, making it look more like a "lion" than a rooster.
At the same time, the Conqueror's Haki that was causing the surrounding air to tremble startled Sig.
Despite being elite troops under Momousagi's command, the Navy was completely overwhelmed by this Haki, and apart from Johnny and a dozen other officers, everyone else fainted!
The residents of the town, even those whose homes were quite far away, were all affected, and the whole town became quieter.
Sig also somewhat surprised—this seemed quite different from what he had previously imagined.
Is the key really just a wild imagination and a broken leg?
That doesn't make sense...
But at that moment, Sig suddenly realized something: perhaps... he wasn't wrong!
Indeed, the decline in the strength of the Golden Lion was more due to mental setbacks than physical disabilities.
However...
What if the Golden Lion also believed that its weakness and "self-degradation" were due to its wild imagination and broken leg?
In addition, he was recently provoked by Momousagi, making his mentality even more unstable!
Although the Golden Lion appeared despicable and cunning from the moment he kidnapped Wolf, he did make a great deal of determination in ultimately getting Law to fill in the gaps in his understanding.
Now that this determination has received positive feedback, the Golden Lion's morale has naturally been greatly restored.
It's impossible to say that he'll be completely restored, but the current Golden Lion is undoubtedly closer to the legendary flying Great Pirate who was on par with Roger!
"Hahaha... Navy? Do you think a kid with the Op-Op Fruit would believe you? Tell them, where is your hometown?"
Shiki laughed triumphantly; after all, he had taken a gamble and won.
At the same time, Shiki raised his right hand, Cherry Ten, and the earth rumbled loudly...
A sudden tremor shook Svalbard Island, and Luo, who had just untied Wolf, couldn't help but change his expression.
He then realized that the entire island... was floating!
"This is bad!" Gion's expression changed.
Luo Ye inwardly cried out, "Oh no!" He had originally planned to take advantage of Shiki and the Marines fighting amongst themselves and leave with Wolf first, but...
The entire island floated up, and even the surrounding seawater followed suit, pulling the Polar Tang up with it. Where could it escape to?
No wonder Shiki wasn't in a hurry at all...
Releasing Wolf first isn't a big deal; they can't escape anyway since they're both on the island. Once we deal with Momousagi, we can figure out how to capture Law!
At the same time Gion couldn't help but secretly take to heart what Golden Lion had just said...
Gion had also witnessed Trafalgar Law's reaction—he had seemed hesitant at first, but upon seeing the Navy, he immediately "cured" Golden Lion!
This is quite different from what I imagined.
"You brat from Frevance, let me show you what 'power' truly means." Having learned that Trafalgar Law was a survivor of the Kingdom of Frevance, Shiki wanted to demonstrate his power to impress him.
Shiki believed that if he could demonstrate to Law his ability to challenge the World Government, he could subdue him.
Just like Kaido subdued King of the Lunarian...
Now, apart from the royal family, Trafalgar Law is the only survivor in the entire Kingdom of Frevance, Shiki is certain that Law harbors hatred for the World Government.
And that is indeed the case. Originally, Luo had an even more hated enemy, but that person is now dead.
The Kingdom of Frevance made a fortune from the discovery of Lead Bone Ore. Although the World Government also discovered the dangers of Lead Bone Ore to miners during geological exploration, the profits were so great, especially since they could be used in weapons, that they kept the information hidden!
Since mining always results in deaths, let the Frevance handle it themselves.
Later, platinum and lead contamination gradually led to Lead Bone Disease, which causes large white patches to appear on the skin of affected individuals...
Moreover, the number of people falling ill is increasing!
By this time, the Lead Bone Ore had been nearly exhausted. To prevent the truth from being revealed, the World Government lied, claiming it was an infectious disease, and incited neighboring countries to sever ties with the Frevance, prohibiting them from leaving and even allowing them to be massacred by surrounding nations...
In the end, apart from the royal family who had already evacuated, Trafalgar Law was the last survivor. His parents, sister, all his relatives and friends had died in this man-made Catastrophe.
This is also why his personality was so anti-human when he first joined Donquixote Family.
Trafalgar Law, thanks to Rosinante and Wolf, is now willing to trust others again, but... he will absolutely not trust the World Government!
"Frevance ..." Gion's face turned grim.
The World Government naturally didn't disclose the matter of Frevance, but as a candidate for Admiral, how could Gion not know about these things?
Since one creates karma, one will reap karmic consequences. Although it wasn't his own doing, since Gion chose to join the navy and continues to do so, he was always prepared to bear the blame.
Luo then carried Wolf away, even if they couldn't escape, it was still better than staying near the Golden Lion.
Gion then slowly drew her Konpira —the user of the Op-Op Fruit, who turned out to be the orphan of Frevance, which gave her a real headache, but now was not the time to think about such things!
How can we fight if we can't stop Shiki immediately?
After all, if they won, the entire island would fall, and their already unconscious men and the town's residents would all be doomed.
The Golden Lion must be stopped before it ascends to high altitude!
Gion, however, calmed down. Although her goal was urgent, she did not rush into action. As she slowly pulled out the Konpira, she also focused her mind and tried to adjust herself to the best state.
"Asura Slash - Sea of the Underworld!"
As Gion unleashed her sword strike, her outfit—black leather shorts and a pink open-front shirt—suddenly appeared heavily made up under the force of the sword, and at the same moment the sword energy erupted, it seemed as if a gigantic she-devil figure appeared behind her...
The officers who were still conscious were secretly cheering for Vice Admiral Momousagi, but then... Big Nose suddenly tilted his head and fell asleep!
Sig realized that the old lion was no match for Momousagi, and it would be difficult for her to even wear him down; in fact, it would only boost his confidence...
