Chapter 226

At his peak, the Flying Pirates he commanded had hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of pirates under his command, making it the largest pirate crew in the world!

Although there's only one ship left now, the manpower has been replenished immediately!

However, Golden Lion's smile quickly faded, because he discovered that most of the pirates seemed to have chosen to join Night King's crew!

Are you kidding me!

Is Lao Tzu's influence less than that of this bastard?

"Looks like you're not very popular, Shiki."

Naito's lips curled up in a smile.

Isn't this just common sense?

When I arrived just now, I overheard Golden Lion saying that he didn't want any trash among his subordinates and wanted the pirates to fight each other.

Keep in mind that the vast majority of people gathered here are low-level pirates.

Moreover, compared to the lone Golden Lion, wouldn't someone like myself, who has already conquered this sea area, be more worthy of following?

"Snort!"

The Golden Lion snorted unhappily.

"Oh, right,"

Naito suddenly remembered something, "How about you help me move an island back to the New World if you have time? I'll give you five billion Beli as a reward."

Although the Mountain Lord in Elbaf can now provide a stable supply, the more the better. Their forces will surely grow larger and their territories will expand. No matter how many giant beasts they have, it won't be too many.

Therefore, the island next to Amazon Lily can also be moved back.

"I'm not going!"

The Golden Lion snorted coldly without hesitation.

They stole his man and now they want to boss him around? This bastard's got no guts!

Naito shrugged, unconcerned.

There's no rush.

Chapter 154 The Golden Lion's Plan! Target: Sky Island

Blackstone Island.

Naito and the Golden Lion floated above the island, one on each side.

On the island below, the pirates who had gathered there had split into two groups, one below Naito and the other below Golden Lion.

Damn it!

Golden Lion looked down at the pirates below, his expression practically contorted with rage.

He was the one who published the news in the newspaper to call for the pirates to come to the alliance, but at this time, the pirates gathered under his command did not even reach one-fifth of the total number.

Most of the pirates have gone to that bastard Night King's side!

"Don't be so discouraged, Shiki,"

Naito said with great interest, "Aren't there still so many pirates willing to follow you? Cheer up."

In fact, there are quite a few pirates willing to follow Golden Lion, totaling nearly ten thousand.

However, compared to the other two, it does seem rather shabby.

Moreover, among the many pirates gathered here, the most powerful ones all chose to follow Naito.

Shut your stinking mouth!

Golden Lion's forehead vein throbbed, and he abruptly turned to look at Naito, his tone filled with suppressed anger.

"You bastard, I planned everything, but you're the one who benefited!"

"Personal charm, I guess."

Naito shrugged, his tone nonchalant. "Some things can't be forced."

"I won't listen to your bullshit!"

The Golden Lion snorted coldly, clearly annoyed.

What a load of rubbish about personal charisma! It's just that these pragmatic pirates feel they have nothing to offer by following him, while that bastard Night King is already the ruler of this sea!

"So, Shiki, what are you planning to do next?"

Naito asked with great interest, "Shall we move to another location to continue gathering pirates?"

"Snort,"

The Golden Lion smirked. "It's just some scraps, but it'll do."

"This era is different from my time. You bastards have taken over vast territories one after another, so of course I can't fall behind!"

"Oh?"

Naito raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and said, "Are you planning to seize someone's territory? Kaido or Charlotte Linlin?"

"Are you an idiot? I'm not that stupid!"

The Golden Lion seemed rather impolite, saying, "Wasn't the front part of the New World still empty?"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Naito smiled.

That's true.

The Charlotte Family's territory was only in the early to middle part of the New World.

Further into the sea, no major pirates had taken over.

"So, are you planning to snatch food from the mouth of the World Government?"

Naito said with a smile.

One important reason why the early part of the New World wasn't dominated by major pirates is that the area is close to Mary Geoise, and the World Government wouldn't allow dangerous individuals to occupy it.

Do you think I'm like you?

The Golden Lion's smile gradually turned dangerous. "I am Golden Lion Shiki, the man who will rule the seas from the sky!"

"What ever."

Naito didn't care.

He deserved a beating.

Let him be.

"Just you wait, Night King,"

Golden Lion clenched his fist. "It won't be long before I make this sea remember what a real pirate really looks like!"

Naito remained noncommittal.

"But,"

Golden Lion glanced at Naito, "Don't get too cocky, kid. Who knows how many World Government agents are mixed in with these pirates? Hehehehe! There are plenty of others you'll have a headache with!"

"Yeah?"

Naito didn't react.

However, he was also quite curious about how Golden Lion would distinguish the composition of his pirate crew.

"Hahahaha!"

The Golden Lion, however, thought Naito was bluffing, and he laughed wildly as he lowered the altitude.

"You scum who are willing to follow me, then come with me! Now, I'll lead you to make the whole world tremble!"

"Yes, Shiki!"

So the pirates quickly returned to their own ship.

The Golden Lion casually flew over the ships and touched one of their masts.

The Float-Float Fruit power activated, and in the next instant, all the pirate ships slowly rose into the air, flying into the sky along with Golden Lion.

"Is that... the power of the Float-Float Fruit?"

The remaining pirates were quite surprised.

Although he already knew about the Golden Lion's abilities, and even witnessed the man descend from the sky with his own eyes.

But now, watching him take off into the sky with dozens of ships, the pirates still couldn't help but stare in astonishment.

Watching the Golden Lion disappear into the distance, Naito landed lightly.

He floated at a height of only ten meters above the ground, looking down at the tens of thousands of pirates below.

"Anyone with a bounty exceeding one hundred million, step forward."

While bounty does not directly indicate a pirate's strength, in most cases, the level of the bounty is positively correlated with the pirate's strength.

Soon enough, five people stepped forward from the queue.

Five?

Naito gave a slight smirk.

There are nearly 40,000 people, but only five have bounties exceeding 100 million.

It's easy to imagine how low the quality of the pirates gathered here was.

But it's understandable.

A pirate with a bounty exceeding 100 million is a notorious pirate in any sea, and even in the entire pirate industry, they are extremely rare, truly terrifying.

"So, everyone is divided into five queues,"

Naito didn't even bother asking the five guys' names, and went straight to the point, "Each of you five will lead a team."

"Yes, Lord World!"

The five pirates' faces lit up with joy.

As expected, pirates as powerful as them would definitely become high-ranking officers even if they joined World's crew!

"Go do something for me next."

Naito said, "I have conquered all the non- Affiliated Nation in this sea, but there are still many small settlements scattered throughout the area. I need you to help me conquer all those towns and villages."

"I'd go through fire and water for you, Lord World!"

One of the pirates spoke excitedly, his voice brimming with eagerness, "Leave it to us! I'll make sure they all kneel obediently before you!"

"That's right!"

Another pirate quickly chimed in, "Anyone who dares to defy your rule will regret ever being born!"
