Caught You, Old Man

The flash of a blade passed, and only then did Golden Lion's severed figure vanish.

"Jihahahaha! You bastard, don't tell me you thought you could catch me just because my legs are gone. I'm Golden Lion!"

Golden Lion's wild, triumphant laughter rang out high in the sky.

Golden Lion, floating in midair, looked immensely pleased with himself.

Lin Ye sheathed his sword and looked toward Golden Lion.

This man was indeed fast, but Lin Ye had never expected to kill Golden Lion with that single strike.

He was an old pirate who had survived who knew how many brutal battles.

Back when the Flying Pirates clashed with the Roger Pirates, if not for the terrifying storm in the New World that had shattered the Flying Pirates, who knew what the outcome of that battle might have been.

After all, compared to Roger's small crew, the Flying Pirates had been the true behemoth of that era.

Dozens of massive pirate ships floated high in the sky under Golden Lion's power, granting them an enormous advantage against most enemies.

Golden Lion's own strength, at his peak, had been no weaker than Gol D. Roger's.

Cunning, cruel, powerful, confident, arrogant...

Most of the traits commonly found in pirates on this sea could be found in Golden Lion.

Standing on the exposed black stone ground, Lin Ye looked up at Golden Lion in the sky.

Endless yellow sand floated overhead, blotting out the entire sky.

It was as though a vast continent hung in the heavens.

Golden Lion had developed the Float-Float Fruit's power to its utmost limit.
