On a high peak on Crown Island.
A lion with magnificent, coral-shaped golden horns, its enormous wings suddenly spread open behind it, its golden mane and wings making it resemble a sacred golden beast.
Kirin Lion
Its gaze turned solemnly toward the shore, sensing a terrifying aura emanating from it.
"Omu! Yazhu! Take Mobambi and hide first."
The Kirin Lion gave commands to an old parrot and a black Karasu.
It immediately flew into the air and roared to the sky.
In an instant, all the animals on the Rare Animal Island panicked and fled back to their burrows to hide.
This is the warning from the Beast King.
"What happened, Your Majesty!"
An old, decrepit parrot, leaning on a wooden cane, anxiously shouted at the Kirin Lion in mid-air.
A Karasu, carrying a human child, quickly retreated back into its cave.
Two birds and one person
"What's wrong, Yazhu!"
The dark-skinned little boy also looked incredibly tense. For the lion king to be so nervous, something major must have happened.
"I don't know either. We just need to follow the king's orders."
This Karasu, just like the old parrot, can speak human language.
"Quick, hide! Dangerous humans have landed!"
The Kirin Lion shouted at the old parrot Omu, and it flew straight down the mountain.
It will, as always, drive away malicious humans and protect the island's rare animals.
Because it is the king of beasts on this island.
The human boy was a stranded person who ended up on this island.
The Kirin Lion, personally adopted the little boy.
As for the two parrots and Karasu that can speak human language, they are its assistants in managing the Rare Animal Island.
Seeing the Kirin Lion fly away, Omu, Yazhu, Mobambi two birds and one person) could only pray that the Beast King could successfully drive away the invading foreigners.
···
Having landed on Crown Island, Yixiao, Aramaki, and Wang Shi all looked towards the distant mountains.
A golden, winged lion is flying over at breakneck speed.
"Hey, there really is a legendary creature!"
Aramaki's eyes lit up as he looked into the distance, and he cried out in surprise.
Following their gaze, everyone looked up at the distant sky.
"So handsome!"
"How majestic!"
"It looks really valuable!"
Reiju, Baby5, and Nami all sighed in amazement.
"Is this definitely not Mythical Zoan Fruit user? Or is it a real, existing creature?"
Capone Bege and Eric exclaimed in surprise, preferring to believe that it was an animal that had accidentally eaten Devil Fruit rather than a real species.
"Here it comes! My golden steed!"
Upon seeing this majestic and Haki Shiki, Wang Shi had no intention of eating its Kirin Lion horns to gain the opportunity to transform.
Driving this lion king around will attract a lot of attention.
Furthermore, it can be cloned.
Wang Shi wanted to clone some obedient, substandard Kirin Lion to make money off the Celestial Dragons.
They'd sell them for at least a billion Belly each, more expensive than a mermaid, and the price would be comparable to a Sweet Commander or one of the Three Disasters.
Keep the best items for yourself, pair them with Clone Soldier, and form an aerial combat team.
"Smile, give me a weightlessness buff!!"
Wang Shi drew the Seven-Star Dragon Sword and charged out using his not-so-skilled Geppo technique.
However, with Yi Xiao's weightlessness aura, Wang Shi's Geppo suddenly became more agile, accelerating towards the Kirin Lion.
"Humans! Get off this island now!"
The Kirin Lion roared, angrily warning the intruders.
These humans are more powerful than any humans before them, and they don't want to fight unless absolutely necessary.
"Let me see just how strong you are."
Wang Shi casually unleashed a ghostly green sword aura several tens of meters long, striking the Kirin Lion directly. He dared not use his full strength, fearing he might accidentally kill this rare mythical beast.
Most importantly, this Kirin Lion can actually speak human language.
There's no need for Wang Shi to use his Observation Haki Voice of All Things.
No wonder this Kirin Lion adopted a human child; even the two birds beside it can speak human language.
"So strong!"
The Kirin Lion's expression was unusually solemn. It swung its right paw fiercely, and five Wind Blade roared out, colliding violently with Wang Shi's eerie green sword energy, resulting in a huge explosion.
"This golden Kirin Lion is quite powerful."
"I wonder what it tastes like?"
Aramaki sighed regretfully, "His Wang Shi has already set his sights on this Kirin Lion, so he no longer has the chance to devour this legendary mythical beast."
"This Kirin Lion shouldn't be as hostile to humans as the Seven-Star Dragon Sword, right? I definitely want to ride this mythical beast."
Reiju gazed intently at the magnificent golden Kirin Lion, a creature so beautiful it made one want to touch it.
We'd like to sit too!
Nami and the others were filled with envy, but they were not royal consorts and could not ride with His Wang Shi.
"The battle is over."
He smiled and spoke slowly.
Wang Shi suddenly unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, intimidating the Kirin Lion, and then successfully charged onto its back.
The Seven-Star Dragon Sword directly wounded the Kirin Lion. As the Seven-Star Dragon Sword absorbed a bit of the Kirin Lion's blood, its light intensified.
A red light flashed in the eyes of the Kirin Lion, and it struggled and roared as it fell through the air.
It was Yixiao's gravity aura that caught the out-of-control Kirin Lion safely and brought it to the ground.
"Be a good boy, Kirin Lion!"
Wang Shi stood on the back of the Kirin Lion, and the Seven-Star Dragon Sword shone brightly. Wang Shi took the initiative to activate the Seven-Star Sword's ability to manipulate people's hearts.
Under the combined influence of the Wang Shi's Conqueror's Haki and the eerie light, the red light in the Kirin Lion's eyes flickered for a long time before it finally stopped struggling.
It's like catching a Pokémon.
Of course, this is also a bit like a major villain who forcibly controls a spirit beast; he's just as evil.
"His Majesty has tamed this Kirin Lion!!"
Reiju and Nami cheered.
The witch Maya frowned slightly; this was the power of the cursed sword to manipulate minds.
Fortunately, His Wang Shi was not controlled by the Seven-Star Sword and forcibly subdued the Seven-Star Sword Demon Sword, preventing its harm from ever again from reaching the mortal realm.
At least until His Majesty the Wang Shi passes away, this cursed sword will remain intact.
The Maya's responsibility was to pass on the priestess and the Sacrificial Orbs to prevent the future calamity of the Seven-Star Sword.
Maya pondered whether she should heed her grandmother's advice and have a daughter with Wang Shi, striving to become a priestess of the Goa Empire, preserving the legacy of the Sacrificial Orbs, and then having her daughter inherit the family's ancestral teachings in the future.
Maya blushed at the thought of having a child with Wang Shi.
These past few days, she's seen that Nojiko, Nami, and Kaya all like His Majesty Wang Shi Toki.
She also inquired about His Wang Shi's age and preferences.
I seem to have met the standard, just like Nojiko.
Maya had seen Nojiko more than once, but this seemingly passionate but actually reserved and shy girl just couldn't make up her mind.
It seems I have a chance to Nojiko by one step.
She wasn't attracted to Wang Shi Majesty's looks or power; it was all for the sake of the priestess's legacy and ancestral teachings.
For the sake of the priestess's legacy and for the sake of her family's ancestral precepts, she was willing to dedicate herself to His Majesty the Wang Shi.
Maya's eyes widened as she gazed at the Wang Shi riding a golden Kirin Lion and wielding the Seven-Star Dragon Sword.
She swallowed hard, her heart racing.
She is determined to fulfill her mission!
The sooner the better!
