The kilometer-long great white shark was very powerful, and in less than half a day it pulled the Windrider and Moria's ship to the Cocoyasi Village in the Meizhuda Archipelago.
More than 200 meters above the Meizhuda Archipelago, several islands float high in the air.
"Looks like we've arrived just in time."
After disembarking, Luo Wen said in a relaxed tone.
He noticed that although the island was noisy, there were no signs of wild animals running rampant, indicating that the Golden Lion's plan had not yet begun.
"That was close! We almost arrived too late!"
Nami patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go see how things are going."
With his hands behind his head, Luo Wen led the way towards Cocoyasi Village.
The women and Moria followed Luo Wen into the village.
The streets were deserted, but the square in the center of the village was bustling with activity.
Following the sound, I saw all the villagers gathered together, discussing something loudly.
"That Golden Lion that unleashes wild beasts everywhere is here! We're doomed!"
"It's finally our turn! Why are we so unlucky!"
"Why don't we just run away and find somewhere else to live?"
"Can we escape? We don't have that many boats! Besides, our entire life's work is here; how can we survive elsewhere?"
"I heard he wants to destroy the entire East Blue. Where can we run to?"
The villagers were discussing loudly, filled with panic.
Everyone who looked at the island in the sky felt a profound despair.
Golden Lion's actions caused quite a stir throughout the East Blue.
Everyone knows that there is a terrifying pirate who releases huge, ferocious beasts onto various islands; these beasts are incredibly terrifying.
Wherever they went, every place suffered heavy losses.
Ordinary people were simply no match for them and could only wait for the navy's assistance.
"Quiet down, everyone. We have no other choice now. We can only pool everyone's strength and see if we can survive."
A Jian from the village police team shouted loudly.
"I heard those wild beasts are seven or eight meters tall, and each one is incredibly ferocious. How can we possibly stop them!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, some people voiced their dissent, expressing no confidence in the plan whatsoever.
"This is the only desperate measure we have left. Are you all just going to wait to die?"
"That guy's island is already there, we've run to nowhere else!"
"Perhaps if we hold on a little longer, we'll receive reinforcements from the navy?"
A Jian looked grave and utterly helpless.
He knew the chances were slim, but it was the only way out.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
They knew there was nowhere left to run. They could only try their best to hold on, hoping that some would survive.
Everyone took up arms, silently awaiting the arrival of calamity.
In the crowd, Nojiko wiped his long flintlock pistol, but his thoughts drifted far away.
This time, she faced a life-or-death situation and had no confidence that she would survive.
It's such a pity that Nami and the others are still on the Grand Line and couldn't see each other one last time.
As he pondered, Nojiko recalled the powerful figure who had annihilated the Arlong Pirates.
Back then, it was the hero Luo Wen who descended from the heavens, wiped out the Arlong Pirates, and brought new life to Cocoyasi Village.
Now, which hero will come to avert this disaster?
There probably aren't any more, since people like Luo Wen are ultimately a minority.
"Huh!?"
Suddenly, Nojiko spotted two familiar figures and exclaimed in surprise.
Nami looked radiant, and the young man was just as Haki as before.
She almost thought she was seeing things.
"Mr. Luo Wen and Nami are back!"
The villagers also spotted Luo Wen and his group, and they were all overjoyed.
Hearing the villagers' shouts, Nojiko suddenly realized what was happening.
"So, they really did come back."
Nojiko, feeling as if she were in a dream.
"Long time no see, sister!"
Nami excitedly jumped into Nojiko and said happily.
"Haven't seen you for a long time."
Nojiko hugged Nami, a happy smile on her face.
"Mr. Luo Wen, weren't you on the Grand Line? Why did you suddenly come back?"
The villagers surrounded Luo Wen, asking excitedly.
"I heard someone wanted to destroy the East Blue, so I rushed back."
Luo Wen smiled and said calmly.
"You really are... I don't even know what to say!"
The villagers surrounded Luo Wen, too moved to speak.
What defines a hero? This is a hero!
Listen to this! Despite being wanted by the World Government, they immediately rushed back to save the East Blue when they heard East Blue was in danger. What kind of awareness is that?
This is a million times better than World Government that sucks their blood and oppresses them!
"Mr. Luo Wen!"
All the villagers surrounded Luo Wen, moved to tears.
"I didn't realize this guy was so popular."
Gion pouted, a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
She was never this popular when she was in the Navy.
"Of course, if it weren't for Mr. Luo Wen's intervention two months ago, none of us would be alive today."
"Now that Mr. Luo Wen has come back to save us, we can't thank him enough!"
Nojiko stood beside Gion and said with a smile.
"He is now a major enemy of the World Government, the most vicious criminal. Aren't you afraid?"
Gion frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"When we were being oppressed by the Arlong Pirates, the World Government and the Navy didn't help us. If we have to take sides, we'll all stand with Luo Wen."
Nojiko's voice was gentle, but her tone was firm.
"Thank you, I understand."
Gion lowered his head and said nothing more.
She had read Luo Wen's file and knew more than Nojiko.
At that time, Luo Wen not only destroyed the Arlong Pirates, but also the Captain Nezumi who colluded with them.
The World Government has degenerated to such an extent that it's no wonder these people are disappointed with World Government and the Navy.
Perhaps by following Luo Wen, she can better achieve justice.
"They're here!"
Moria, who had been staring at the sky, shouted, drawing everyone's attention.
Small black dots descended from the sky, getting closer and closer. When they landed on the ground, they transformed into ferocious and monstrous beasts of various shapes.
Each one was at least seven or eight meters tall, with bloodshot eyes and an aura of frenzy.
Two-headed saber-toothed tigers, mutated giant crocodiles, giant brown bears... hundreds of monsters landed smoothly under the power of the Float-Float Fruit.
"Roar!"
All the beasts roared in unison, their voices like thunder, shaking the very soul.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Hundreds of ferocious beasts, each weighing tens of tons, galloped up, kicking up clouds of dust and causing the earth to shake violently.
"How terrifying!"
The villagers were shocked by the sheer scale of the event, and their legs trembled uncontrollably.
My previous thinking was too naive.
They couldn't stop such a massive army of wild beasts, no matter how hard they tried.
"I'm afraid these are also formidable opponents for Mr. Luo Wen!"
A Jian frowned, looking at Luo Wen with concern.
Huh!? You look down on me that much?
Hearing A Jian's mutterings, Luo Wen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He could kill a thousand of those small fry with a single move!
What to do?
Although he really wanted to prove himself, the small fry in front of him just didn't interest him at all!
