Chapter 236
"Otherwise, I won't hold back. How about I just dump them one by Affiliated Nation? If that's not enough, I might as well go to Mary Geoise Affiliated Nation! Hehehehe! Would the Celestial Dragons be scared to death if they saw an island fall from the sky?"
The pirates were slightly taken aback, but immediately began to cheer.
Is Shiki threatening the World Government?
He truly deserves to be called a legendary man! His boldness and courage are truly captivating!
The World Government agents lurking among the pirates felt something was off.
So, is Golden Lion using them as mouthpieces?
And so soon, at the summit of the Red Line, in Mary Geoise.
The Five Elders held a short meeting.
"Extremely arrogant!"
"Scientific defense against the God of War!" Saturn slammed his cane down, his anger surging, "They've gone so far as to threaten the World Government!"
"It seems that World's occupation of a sea area has provoked that Golden Lion."
The long-bearded Five Elders Marcus Saint Mars stood alone by the window as always, his brow furrowed as if he were being ostracized. "So he began his operation as well."
"It has to be admitted that the power of the Float-Float Fruit is indeed terrifying."
The bald Five Elders, Saint Warcury, sat on the sofa. "That Golden Lion could destroy a country in an instant. The government can't afford such a loss, let alone Mary Geoise..."
"Are we going to accept that guy's threats?"
Wearing a burgundy suit and sporting blond hair, Ju Peter, one of the Five Elders, said coldly, "Can you confirm that guy's whereabouts?"
"I'm afraid that won't work."
The bald, bespectacled Five Elders, Saint Nusjuro, dressed in a long white robe, shook his head. "All the recruited pirates, including government agents, were released onto the high seas by Golden Lion to conquer those target countries for him."
"And he himself had vanished into the vast skies of the New World."
The Five Elders fell silent instantly.
The Golden Lion is not scary.
According to the Navy's report, Golden Lion has weakened considerably since his peak. If he hadn't fled, any Admiral could probably have taken him down.
However, Golden Lion that hides is quite terrifying.
Nobody knows where he'll appear from and then smash down an island.
After a long silence, someone finally spoke.
"We probably shouldn't interfere with him too easily before we can track him Golden Lion."
"That's the only way. Fortunately, they're just some non- Affiliated Nation, so there's not much loss. But we can't just wait. We need to have CP intensify its infiltration efforts and confirm the Golden Lion's whereabouts as soon as possible."
"Mary Geoise is already within the Golden Lion's range, which is too dangerous. Have Zephyr others return to port. We need to establish a sufficient force in this area to guard against any unforeseen circumstances."
"Agreed. Anyway, the Golden Lion has already left that sea area. Just World's group and Borsalino's group are enough to deter them."
Therefore, the World Government has made a decision.
A sea area in the New World.
A naval fleet is turning.
The bow of a large ship in the center.
Zephyr frowned deeply. "That bastard Golden Lion, he actually dared to threaten the World Government?"
"But the problem is, does the government actually buy into this?"
Aokiji lay back on the recliner, his eyes hidden behind an eye mask, and said lazily, "We can't risk the Affiliated Nation, can we?"
"World and the Golden Lion, those two most restless bastards are allies!"
Zephyr was practically gritting his teeth.
On the bright side, at least Naito and his team are under much less pressure.
Aokiji said quietly, "However, World's group is also quite difficult to deal with."
Zephyr said with a sigh, "I can only hope they're safe and sound."
Soon, the World Economy News Paper once again ignited the world with a news story.
Golden Lion published another statement in the newspaper.
He said he wanted all the non- World Government Member States in the front part of the New World to submit to him.
If a country dares to refuse, then he will reward that country with an island that falls from the sky.
The newspaper also included a picture showing a huge island floating above a city, taken from a low angle, giving the floating island a sense of oppression.
The world was in uproar.
The Golden Lion is even more insane World and his gang.
World and his crew were only throwing monsters at the island, but Golden Lion is going to throw it all away!
Who would dare refuse that?
The sea area occupied by World and his gang in the middle to later part of the New World.
On a vast sea.
The naval fleet moved slowly forward on the sea.
Naito sat cross-legged on the deck, sweating profusely and panting as he flipped through the newspaper.
Is that how it is?
That Golden Lion isn't completely senile yet.
He can easily seize numerous countries without even lifting a finger, and the World Government doesn't even dare to stop him.
The agents lurking among the pirates were completely useless.
As expected, coercion is an absolute top-tier skill in this world.
"Has that Golden Lion guy started too?"
Standing behind Naito, Ain naturally leaned down and placed his hand on Naito's shoulder. "He's even crazier World!"
"At least the pressure on our side has decreased a lot."
Kizaru was leisurely trimming his fingernails.
Is it too small?
Gion Vice Admiral, standing against the ship's railing, shook his head. "Teacher Zephyr and Senior Kuzan aren't coming. If World and his group really make any moves, we'll have to face them ourselves."
"World and his gang are no longer a problem."
Naito closed the newspaper and said calmly, "As long as Senior Borsalino can handle World, the rest can be left to me."
"Oh! That's it! Naito!"
Kizaru immediately grinned, "That's more like the aura of a naval hero!"
Gion paused for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Perhaps, that's really the case."
After all, once Naito Awakening his Illusion-Illusion Fruit, as long as the opponent doesn't possess Observation Haki that Future Sight, no matter how many people there are, it's meaningless to him.
He can even conceal the presence of all his own men, rendering the enemy completely blind, giving him a significant advantage from the start of the battle.
"As expected of Brother Naito!"
Sanji, who was training, looked at Naito with eyes full of admiration.
Binz couldn't help but purse his lips. Even if you're more handsome this time!
Ain gently stroked Naito's shoulder, a smile unconsciously playing on her lips, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at the boy.
Naito, he's someone who can always put your mind at ease.
Almost simultaneously, on the other side, in the foreground of the Grand Line.
Zeus had already arrived above a certain island.
The island has a cone-shaped, multi-layered structure, with a huge jet of water shooting out from the top spout, resembling a giant fountain.
The island's name is Water 7.
Chapter 161 Pluton Blueprints! The Dream of Iceburg
The City of Water 7 is famous all over the world.
After Galley-La Company consolidated the city's existing shipyards, the city has become the undisputed world's leading shipbuilding city.
Even the World Government has established a partnership with Galley-La Company, and many of the navy's warships were built in this city.
Beyond its shipbuilding industry, the city has also become a well-known tourist destination in the surrounding waters due to its unique scenery.
And all of this is thanks to a certain man.
The man's name is Iceburg.
He is the president of the Galley-La Company and also the mayor of Water 7.
Before he took power, the situation in Water 7 was not very good.
The numerous shipyards, each operating independently and competing with each other, had created chaos and disorder throughout the city, with frequent violent clashes between the shipwrights.
The city of Water 7 is constantly attacked by massive tsunamis, and due to these tsunamis, the entire island is actually slowly sinking.
At that time, Water 7 dilapidated and decaying, and no one could see any future for the island.
Because going to sea was a very difficult thing in this world, the residents of this city were once plunged into despair.
It was after Iceburg took power that he impressed the craftsmen of several major shipyards with his amazing skills, and managed to integrate them into the Galley-La Company. From then on, the shipwrights of the Water 7 were able to work together towards a common goal, and the shipbuilding city of the past returned to its former glory.
Not only that, in addition to being the president of Galley-La Company, Iceburg, as the mayor of Water 7, also has an outstanding political record.
With improvements to infrastructure, a crackdown on crime, and a restoration of urban order, the city has been completely transformed in just one year.
Meanwhile, the mayor, who was deeply loved in the city, was in his office, staring incredulously at the person in front of him.
Just minutes before, Iceburg was working on documents in his office.
He is very busy every day.
As the company president, the entire company rests on his shoulders.
As the mayor of the city, he also needs to personally handle all the affairs of the Water 7.
Even though his main job was as a shipwright, he still had to take time to work in the dock.
My daily routine consists of working from the moment I open my eyes until I close them at night, with a little time in between for meals.
Even so, Iceburg never complained.
Tom's wish is to revitalize Water 7, and the Sea Train was designed for this purpose.
Therefore, he also wants to do everything he can to make this city a better place.
