On an island floating in the sky.
A middle-aged man with loose blond hair was holding a newspaper and reading it carefully.
"Oh ho ho ho, two Admiral and Garp together can't beat a young man?"
"Hahaha, this is so funny!"
Golden Lion Shiki looked at the newspaper in his hand and burst into laughter.
It's unbelievable that such a powerful newcomer has appeared on this vast ocean.
What pleased him even more was that Garp and Akainu were both injured, and the World Government was now focusing its attention on Luo Wen.
"What a golden opportunity!"
The Golden Lion crushed the newspaper, fueling its immense ambition.
His mutated animals have been successfully cultivated, and their power accumulated over the past 20 years is enormous.
After lying low for twenty years, now is the perfect time for him to make a comeback and announce his return to the world.
"My minions, go and destroy the East Blue, roar at the world!"
The Golden Lion summoned all his subordinates and let out a tremendous roar.
"Destroy the East Blue and dominate the world!"
"Destroy the East Blue and dominate the world!"
Thousands of pirates tore their clothes and began shouting wildly.
They were following a legendary great pirate, someone destined to conquer the world!
Golden Lion piloted the floating island ship, heading towards the East Blue.
One day later, on a dark and windy night.
Luo Wen, Gion, Moria, and their group entered the Alabasta royal palace with the help of Cobra.
"I never imagined that King Cobra would dare to risk receiving such a formidable enemy of the World Government. Aren't you afraid of the World Government's wrath?"
Gion looked at King Cobra, his tone somewhat dangerous.
She never imagined that Affiliated Nation of the World Government would welcome its greatest enemy.
This made her feel betrayed.
"I didn't know he was a major enemy of the World Government; I only knew he was a hero of Alabasta."
"Back when Crocodile was causing trouble in Alabasta, the Navy didn't seem to offer any assistance."
Cobra remained unfazed, calmly retorting with a mocking tone.
He was certainly afraid of the trouble Luo Wen would bring, but Luo Wen was the one who saved this country; how could he turn away the nation's hero?
Moreover, killing scoundrels like the Celestial Dragons was something he wanted to do but didn't dare to.
"This..."
Gion, realizing he was in the wrong, said nothing more.
In many matters, the Navy has indeed performed poorly. Especially in Alabasta, as World Government Member States, the Navy has been utterly useless, relying entirely on Luo Wen for rescue.
"Haha, now you know how good I am, right? Before I came, there was no justice to be found here!"
Luo Wen put his arm around Gion's shoulder and laughed as he spoke.
"Snort!"
Gion broke free from Luo Wen's arm but did not refute him.
After Luo Wen became famous, Gion also reviewed his resume.
Sweep away the pirates of the East Blue, wipe out the Fish-Man Pirates who are plaguing the region, and kill the Captain Nezumi who colluded with the pirates...
Before Luo Wen appeared, even the Weakest Sea, the East Blue, was plagued by pirates. The Navy not only did nothing, but even colluded with the pirates.
When Luo Wen appeared, the wind swept away the leaves in the courtyard, and the East Blue became clear.
If it weren't for the Celestial Dragons, perhaps Luo Wen would be the Navy's best ally.
Gion sighed inwardly.
As soon as Luo Wen entered the palace, Nami and the other girls, who had been waiting, immediately surrounded him.
"Luo Wen, I'm so glad you're alright!"
Vivi, Nami, and Tashigi searched through Luo Wen's body, checking his injuries.
Although they had heard from the newspapers that Luo Wen was safe, they were still somewhat worried because he had fought against two Admiral and a legendary Vice Admiral.
They were relieved only after a thorough examination and finding no injuries on Luo Wen's body.
"What could possibly be wrong with me? It's just a little bit of hardship."
Luo Wen let the women finish their examination and then spoke with a smile.
"Yeah, you're the best, you've brought back another beautiful woman."
After confirming that Luo Wen was safe and sound, Nami and the other girls turned their attention to Gion, saying with great resentment.
No wonder Luo Wen wanted to take Gion back. Even though they were girls, one had to admit that Gion was indeed beautiful and charming, possessing both heroic spirit and allure.
"She's a partner I worked hard to recruit, so you can't just say anything about her."
Luo Wen scratched his head and said confidently.
The girls all rolled their eyes at Luo Wen, but didn't say anything. All the partners they'd recruited before had been fooled into joining them.
"He and I are enemies, don't overthink it."
Gion pursed her lips and said firmly.
Now she'd seen it for herself: Luo Wen was a womanizer. He hadn't kidnapped her to recruit talent for the navy; he was just after her beauty.
Otherwise, why not just Tokikake Kaji?
However, she would absolutely not let Luo Wen succeed.
"Whee."
Nami and the other girls just smiled.
They exchanged glances, wondering how long Gion could hold out.
A month, two months? It won't be too long anyway.
Gion felt somewhat annoyed by the teasing expressions on the women's faces.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat first."
Seeing the atmosphere turn strange, Luo Wen quickly stopped it.
The banquet was arranged by Cobra; the time was short, but the variety of dishes was quite extensive.
Having survived a major battle, Luo Wen ate with great relish.
After a night's rest, Luo Wen and his group will set off again.
They are the World Government's greatest enemies and are not fit to linger in Alabasta.
It wasn't that Luo Wen was afraid, but rather that the country couldn't withstand the consequences of a war between the two sides.
As dawn broke, Luo Wen and his party boarded the new ship prepared by Cobra and set off once again.
Vivi watched the golden desert gradually disappear, a hint of worry still in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I will protect this country."
Luo Wen gently patted Vivi's back to make her feel more at ease.
He left a summoning array in the palace so that he could arrive in time in times of crisis.
This is a new ability brought about by his 100% Berserker template, allowing him to be summoned like a Heroic Spirit.
Of course, there must be the summoning circle he left behind, as well as his keepsake.
On the sea
The new Windrider sailed ahead, with Moria's ship following behind.
Indeed, Luo Wen is a sentimental person, and he named his new ship the Windrider.
On the deck, Nami spent 100 Beli, reluctantly buying a newspaper from the News Birds.
Legendary pirate Shiki the Golden Lion descends upon the East Blue, unleashing an army of beasts that wreak havoc and threaten to destroy the East Blue!
"Is he crazy? What grudge does the East Blue have against him that he wants to destroy East Blue?!"
Nami looked at the news in the newspaper and immediately became anxious.
The East Blue is her hometown, and so are the villagers of Nojiko and Cocoyasi Village. She absolutely cannot let the Golden Lion destroy the East Blue.
Luo Wen took the newspaper, somewhat surprised.
According to the current time, the Golden Lion should still be floating in the sky, so why did it suddenly fast-forward?
But since he's come forward, let's deal with him.
"Don't worry, he wants to destroy the East Blue, but I won't allow it."
Luo Wen patted Nami on the shoulder and said confidently.
The East Blue was, after all, his birthplace, and the crew's relatives and friends were also there.
His new template is about to be unlocked, and the legendary pirate Golden Lion is perfect for testing it out.
"Um!"
Nami nodded, her emotions much calmer.
The next moment, she used the power of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit to propel the Windrider forward at high speed.
Luo Wen turned and went back into the cabin. Now that he was safe, it was time to unlock the new template.
Gion watched Luo Wen's retreating figure, and her opinion changed somewhat.
I initially thought he was a vicious and powerful figure, but it seems he actually has a strong sense of justice.
If I follow him and uphold justice just like him, then it seems there's no difference between being in the navy and not being in the navy.
No, there are differences.
At least, there aren't those disgusting Celestial Dragons Summit War.
