The arriving naval soldiers were also dumbfounded.
Looking at Bai Yu's all-too-familiar face.
They exploded instantly.
"It's Bai Yu, the Navy's rising star who took down Captain Smoker with a single blow."
"I heard that Captain Smoker was planning to take the knife head-on, wasn't he? He was just careless and that's how Bai Yu took advantage of his momentary lapse in concentration, right?"
"Did you guys see the strength of Bai Yu's crew just now? They all seem to be just as good as Captain Smoker..."
The scene erupted into chaos.
Even Isuka was completely bewildered.
She never imagined that the person she had been searching for for so long would actually be with her.
However, thinking back to Bai Yu's behavior in the weapon shop earlier...
Isuka's pent-up fighting spirit was starting to wane.
"Look everyone, a huge island has appeared in the sky!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, and everyone tensed up instantly.
The moment they followed the gaze, their pupils contracted sharply, and their faces turned pale.
The enormous island gives one the feeling of being able to block out the sky.
A figure suspended in mid-air attracted the attention of countless people.
Golden hair, an incredibly arrogant face, a ship's rudder staring at his head, and Famous Sword on his legs.
The visitor's identity is immediately obvious.
"This... this is the legendary overlord, the admiral of the Flying Pirates, the great pirate Golden Lion!"
Isuka's face turned pale, her body trembled slightly, and she cried out in alarm.
"Wasn't he dead decades ago? Why is he here!"
This is something that stands at the pinnacle of an era.
For Isuka, this monster was far beyond what a lieutenant like her could compare to.
"Haha, Roger, today is the anniversary of your death. I never expected that I would come to visit you, but my decades-long research on SIQ has actually been completed ahead of schedule."
"Since this is your death anniversary, let the people of Loguetown hold a memorial service for you, so that the world may see my masterpiece!"
The Golden Lion Shiki, suspended in mid-air, laughed wildly, his golden hair flying rapidly in the wind.
His gaze suddenly shifted, and his eyebrows quickly rose.
The next moment, a figure shrouded in white mist shot towards them like a cannonball.
" Golden Lion, how dare you invade Loguetown! Aren't you really worried that our Navy will send you back to Impel Down Great Prison?"
"Now, you'd better surrender obediently!"
Smoker roared coldly.
Using the White Smoke Launcher, he appeared behind the Golden Lion in the blink of an eye.
The Jitte he held in his hands, without the slightest flourish, pierced straight towards its back.
"Haha, so it's just a brat with Logia Devil Fruit."
"It seems that after being away for a while, this admiral has been underestimated by some bored fellows."
The Golden Lion burst into arrogant laughter.
In the instant he turned around, his legs produced a sharp, whistling sound as they cut through the air.
" Slash Wave!"
Buzz!
The slash, spanning tens of meters, instantly tore through the void and crashed into Smoker.
The attack was so close at hand that Smoker's expression changed drastically the instant his pupils dilated.
In this strike, he felt the same sense of death he had sensed from Bai Yu not long ago.
This means that the attack before us is definitely not something that can be avoided by Elemental Transformation.
A jumble of thoughts flashed through Smoker's mind.
Without a second thought, he quickly raised his Jitte to Guard.
Boom!
The immense impact was unleashed like a raging torrent.
Smoker slammed headfirst into the execution square in Loguetown like a cannonball.
The residual force was so great that even the heavy floor beneath them couldn't withstand it, shattering and collapsing in response.
" Captain Smoker!"
Isuka's expression changed, and she rushed out.
Smoker struggled to his feet amidst the ruins, a mouthful of blood spurting from his lips. He didn't care about anything else as the Roar urgently.
" Isuka, quickly lead the navy and civilians to retreat. This kind of opponent is beyond your ability to stop. Contact Marine Headquarters as soon as possible and tell them that Golden Lion is not dead!"
Smoker had been feeling down about losing to Bai Yu.
The strongest man in the East Blue Navy, known as the White Hunter, had long since made him arrogant.
If losing to Bai Yu made Smoker realize his shortcomings...
Now, let's face the legendary Golden Lion.
Smoker finally realized that the so-called White Hunter were complete rubbish.
He now finally understood why Bai Yu yearned for New World so much.
Even the strongest in the East Blue is just a local tyrant.
When facing a true powerhouse, all so-called honor is utterly meaningless.
"Haha, kid, didn't you hear me? I said I'd use this island to sacrifice Roger, so no one here can escape."
The Golden Lion burst into unrestrained laughter.
"Since you're struggling so much, I'll play with you using my adorable pets!"
Buzz!
The air flowing between heaven and earth seemed to freeze for a moment.
The next moment, before anyone could react, hundreds of monsters, empowered by the Float-Float Fruit, rapidly descended from the sky.
roar!
A series of the Roar roars echoed through the sky.
The sight of those dark, ferocious beasts instantly put everyone's nerves on edge.
Not only the native inhabitants, but even all the navy personnel turned pale.
In their eyes, even Smoker, who possesses the power of Logia Devil Fruit, is no match for a single attack from a legendary great pirate.
No matter how many times they gather together, they probably can't escape being cannon fodder, right?
"Haha, then tremble in despair! Go and slaughter the entire island!"
The Golden Lion burst into arrogant laughter.
roar!
A giant bird, emitting a strange, beast-like the Roar, flapped its wings and charged toward Smoker.
They were moving so fast that they were closing in in the blink of an eye.
Isuka's expression changed drastically, and she couldn't hold back any longer, letting out a hysterical the Roar.
"Lord Bai Yu, save Smoker! Save everyone!"
Boom!
The Conqueror's Haki, unleashed to its fullest potential, exploded without any reservation at this moment.
It transformed into a scarlet storm, soaring straight into the sky.
The ferocious beasts swooping down from the sky were initially stunned by the massive impact, but the bloodthirsty madness in their pupils was instantly dispelled.
Its eyes rolled back, and like a torrential downpour, it foamed at the mouth and plummeted down, crashing heavily to the ground.
Even the strange bird that had been charging towards Smoker was no exception.
Everyone present was stunned.
Even the Golden Lion in the sky is no exception.
In his eyes, this should have been a sure-fire massacre.
I never expected that a guy with such Haki would suddenly appear.
Most importantly, amidst the immense pressure of that aura, the Golden Lion could clearly sense a chilling killing intent that penetrated to the bone.
Looking at the boy who suddenly burst forth with power, Golden Lion found it hard to believe what a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old had gone through to hone his Haki and killing intent to such an extent.
"It's Bai Yu, the Navy's Supernovas. Isuka, how do you know him?"
