When Luo Wen stepped onto the island in the sky.
He saw a group of unusual humans with feathers on their arms, who were looking at him with fear.
"So this was the site of the Golden Lion's experiments."
Looking around, Luo Wen understood the situation.
These people were the original inhabitants of the island that had been taken away by the Golden Lion, and they were being controlled by him. Most of the able-bodied men had died, leaving only the elderly, women, and children.
Seeing the many elderly, weak, women, and children looking at him with fear, Luo Wen was somewhat speechless.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to deal with the Golden Lion."
Luo Wen said it casually, not caring what others thought.
Everyone nodded in unison, as if they believed Luo Wen's words.
Meanwhile, the giant Transponder Snail used to monitor the villagers also detected Luo Wen's arrival and transmitted the image to Golden Lion's location.
"If they catch up, I don't need those islands anymore!"
Upon seeing Luo Wen's figure, the Golden Lion made a decisive decision.
The powers of the Float-Float Fruit were neutralized on several islands, including the island where Luo Wen was located.
This is the most terrifying aspect of the Golden Lion: it can cause an island to crash down from the sky. The force is comparable to that of a small meteorite, capable of completely destroying an entire landmass.
Without the buoyancy of the Float-Float Fruit, the island falls rapidly under the influence of gravity.
Luo Wen wasn't worried; Nami was still on the ground. With her Cloud-Cloud Fruit powers, she could easily hold the islands in place and allow them to land smoothly on the sea.
"But, are you really that cowardly?"
Luo Wen was speechless.
He came knocking on the door, but Golden Lion wouldn't even give him a look; he's nothing like a legendary pirate.
The villagers remained calm; they had wings and could fly. Being freed from the Golden Lion's control was a liberation for them.
The villagers looked at Luo Wen with expressions of surprise.
Who is this hero that even the usually arrogant Golden Lion doesn't dare to meet him?
"Trying to stop me like this? How naive!"
The island beneath their feet plummeted violently. Luo Wen sneered, and a golden Divine Spear materialized in his hand.
This is Divine Spear formed from the A-rank Noble Phantasm [Brahma, cover the earth!], not God-Slaying Spear obtained at the cost of the Sun Armor.
"Brahma, curse me!"
With the incantation of the Word of Power, the Noble Phantasm unleashes its true power.
Luo Wen imbued the divine Divine Spear with the properties of the sun, his right arm veins bulging as he hurled it with all his might.
Blinding flames enveloped the Divine Spear, hurtling towards the central island where the Golden Lion stood, like a nuclear bomb.
The Winged People looked at the direction Luo Wen had thrown, somewhat puzzled.
Did you throw it in the wrong place?
The Divine Spear was clearly aimed at two more islands that were blocking the way.
Even the most powerful attack shouldn't have the power to penetrate two islands.
"They're just two islands; we can just smash them."
Luo Wen didn't care and was full of confidence.
On the other side, Golden Lion watched the image transmitted by the Visual Transponder Snail with a pounding heart.
A terrifying sense of crisis rang incessantly in his mind like an alarm clock, making his scalp tingle.
"If we can't stop them, we'll definitely die!"
The Golden Lion felt a chill run down its spine, a deadly sense of crisis gripping its heart.
Even with two islands blocking his way, he felt no sense of security whatsoever.
Without the slightest hesitation, Golden Lion activated the power of the Float-Float Fruit and immediately left his base camp.
The next instant, the golden Divine Spear pierced through two islands and exploded in the Golden Lion's stronghold.
"Boom!"
A dazzling golden light shimmered, like the sun falling to earth.
A massive mushroom cloud rose, and the island, twenty kilometers in diameter, was blasted into dust by a single blow.
It looked like a giant firework had been set off in the sky.
The golden Divine Spear continued its relentless thrust, plunging straight into the newly arrived island of the Golden Lion, disappearing deep into its center.
"Terrible! I almost died!"
Golden Lion wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked in the direction of Luo Wen with fear.
With just that one strike, he knew.
Luo Wen was definitely not someone he could handle; that shot had almost devastating power.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Golden Lion, controlling the few remaining islands, hastily departed from this place of trouble.
Watching the Golden Lion disappear into the distance, Luo Wen did not pursue it further.
He saw the belatedly arriving navy, confronting the people on the ground.
On the ground, the navy personnel were dumbfounded.
As soon as they landed on the Meizhuda Archipelago, they saw the carcasses of wild beasts scattered everywhere, as well as Nami and the Gion.
Before they could even recover, another terrible explosion occurred in the sky.
It utterly shocked them.
"Is this the Godslayer, Luo Wen? He's truly a figure even more terrifying than a god!"
The sailors muttered to themselves, their voices filled with panic and fear.
I was just thinking about how to handle my relationship with Luo Wen, whether I should have a fight, just to get back at him.
Even if the ball is in the net now, just that one moment is enough to bring them to their senses.
A single touch is fatal, a mere brush is death; only those who experience it truly know.
"What's the point of me practicing this swordsmanship?"
The Famous Sword in Tokikake's hand fell to the ground, and he was completely distraught.
Even if he practiced until he died, he still couldn't make Luo Wen's three-pointer.
A single strike pierced through two islands and shattered one, a feat akin to a miracle!
On the ground, Nami used her Cloud-Cloud Fruit powers to catch the falling islands one by one, allowing them to land smoothly on the sea surface.
Everyone looked on with awe as they saw Luo Wen descend from the island.
Such a godlike and demonic man was beyond their comprehension.
"Should we go up the Hōshō?"
Onigumo nudged Hōshō's arm, swallowing hard.
Even though he's always been Akainu, following Hawk Faction, he couldn't be tough in front of Luo Wen, who could destroy an island in one blow.
"You go ahead and do it, I'm not going."
Hōshō shrugged, his mind perfectly clear.
Now, Luo Wen has saved all the people and possesses the formidable power to destroy the island in one strike.
Going against Luo Wen would bring them no benefit whatsoever; it would only lead to their own demise.
"I'm not going either."
Lieutenant Vice Admiral Flying Momonga stood still, motionless.
"If none of you are going, then I'm not going either."
Onigumo straightened his back and found a reason for himself.
Ignoring the hesitant navy, Luo Wen led everyone back to the ship.
Tokikake watched as Gion with Luo Wen, wanting to reach out and stop him. But Luo Wen's strike that pierced the sky rendered him powerless to lower his hand.
Now, only someone like Luo Wen can protect Gion.
Gion, may you be happy!
Tokikake the bitterness in my heart, I felt as if sand had gotten into my eyes.
On the Windrider.
"Nojiko, you'll be coming with us from now on."
Luo Wen took Nojiko's hand and earnestly invited her.
Nojiko and Nami's relationship has been exposed to the Navy.
Although the navy may not do anything right now, there's no guarantee that the World Government won't come up with some wicked ideas later on.
"Alright, I look forward to your guidance from now on, Mr. Luo Wen!"
Nojiko bowed to Luo Wen, her face flushed.
It seems she's fallen for her sister's man.
However, with so many female confidantes, Luo Wen probably wouldn't mind having one more, Nami?
"Now, we should go and track down the Golden Lion."
Luo Wen looked towards the distant horizon, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
"The Golden Lion is flying in the sky, and we don't even know where it is. It's going to be hard to catch!"
Nami said, somewhat annoyed.
The others nodded in agreement.
This is precisely what makes the Golden Lion so formidable; it can attack or defend, making it virtually invincible.
"I left a mark on the island; he can't escape."
Luo Wen drew out golden rays of light from his fingertips, pointing them towards the sky.
His Noble Phantasm is still planted on the island where Golden Lion is. As long as we follow the connection of the Noble Phantasm, Golden Lion will have no way to escape.
"Huh?!"
The women's eyes lit up when they saw the gold thread.
Soon, pulled by the great white shark, the Windrider chased after the Golden Lion.
