Chapter 238
"Hey! Iceburg! Hahaha! Come and see my newly built ship!"
A vibrant, youthful voice rang out.
Iceburg's pupils dilated as he saw a figure on the distant shore, wearing only a pair of swim trunks, excitedly waving his arms and legs.
No way?
Yes--
Smack
A large hand patted Iceburg's back.
The familiar force stunned Iceburg.
His neck turned almost haltingly before he finally saw the man beside him.
Because he was so tall and was backlit, the man's face was obscured by the shadows.
But Iceburg would never forget that burly body and yellow skin.
Tears streamed uncontrollably down my face.
"Hahaha! Welcome back, Iceburg! You look like a real man now!"
Chapter 162 The Emperors
"Ah!!"
A scream shattered the tranquility of the Water 7.
Then, the entire Water 7 was thrown into turmoil.
A message spread throughout the city at an extremely fast pace.
"What? Mr. Iceburg has been attacked?"
"It's said that when the secretary found Mr. Iceburg, he was already unconscious! He still hasn't woken up!"
"How dare they lay a hand on Mr. Iceburg! Which bastard is this?"
"The Galley-La Company's shipwrights are out in force; they've sealed off the entire island and will not let the criminals escape justice!"
As the man who single-handedly brought the chaotic Water 7 back on track, Iceburg enjoys an extraordinary reputation in the city.
When news of his attack and subsequent coma spread, the citizens were filled with righteous indignation and couldn't help but worry about him.
Meanwhile, at the hospital in the Water 7.
Outside a hospital ward.
What do you mean by "can't wake up"?
The young woman, dressed in a business suit, questioned him urgently.
"I'm sorry, Miss Dora,"
The doctor in the white coat smiled wryly, "Mr. Iceburg's condition is very strange. He has no external injuries, and all his vital signs are perfectly normal. He's like he's asleep, but we don't know why we can't wake him up."
He paused, then his voice grew even lower, "I'm sorry, but I think that with the medical skills we possess, we are probably unable to cure Mr. Iceburg."
"Are you kidding me?!"
Iceburg's secretary, a woman named Dora, grabbed the doctor's shoulders angrily, almost screaming, "This city can't do without Mr. Iceburg! He's the savior of Water 7! Heal him, you must heal him no matter what!"
The doctor was somewhat at a loss.
"Okay, Dora, calm down."
A person who rushed over called out to the secretary.
"Kokoro?"
The secretary, as if she had found her anchor, suddenly turned around and walked over in a panic, exclaiming, "You've finally arrived!"
The newcomer was a short, plump woman with messy, yellowish-green hair and a tall, round hat.
"What exactly happened?"
"Kokoro, formerly Tom's Workers secretary and now the stationmaster of Shift Station on the Sea Train," she inquired.
"I don't know the specifics of what happened!"
The secretary hurriedly said, "I went to report to Mr. Iceburg, but I knocked on the door for a long time without getting a response. However, I clearly remember that Mr. Iceburg never left his office."
"So I pushed open the door without permission, and there I saw Mr. Iceburg lying on the floor, the office window shattered, oh right! There was a hidden compartment at the bottom of the bookshelf in the office that had been opened; the culprit must have stolen something!"
What is that?
Kokoro frowned.
So, what is it?
Does that guy Iceburg have something amazing hidden away?
That brat never said that, so there's not even a clue left!
In short, the entire Water 7 became restless, with angry shipwrights launching attacks all over the island, and many pirates passing by were caught in the crossfire.
It must be said that the shipwrights were quite skilled.
However, they still came up empty-handed.
It was evening.
A visitor arrived at the president's office of Galley-La Company.
A man in a black suit, with a white dove perched on his shoulder, squatted in front of the bookshelf in the office, his hand touching the open compartment at the bottom of the shelf.
So, does it really exist?
Behind this man, another man, also dressed in black and wearing a black baseball cap, with a long nose, spoke up, "The design blueprints for a legendary Ancient Weapon?"
"It's not up to us to say, but one thing is certain: the attackers must have stolen something from Iceburg."
The man with the pigeons calmly said, "Let's go, to the hospital."
"I heard that things aren't going well for Iceburg."
The long-nosed man said with great interest, "It seems he's already in a vegetative state."
"Just because the doctors here can't cure him doesn't mean the government's doctors can't."
The man with the pigeon calmly said, "Take him back; he's the only lead we have now."
Then.
That night, the entire Water 7 was once again in turmoil.
Mr. Iceburg, who was already in a coma, was kidnapped from the hospital!
It's robbery!
The shipwrights guarding the ship were utterly defeated and could only watch helplessly as their most respected president was taken away.
The people of Water 7 are going crazy.
But their attitude has no effect on anything.
Naito only learned shortly afterward from his subordinates planted in Mary Geoise that Iceburg had been brought to Mary Geoise by agents of the World Government.
To confirm whether the blueprints for Pluton existed or had been stolen, the government assembled a group of the best doctors to try and cure him.
Unfortunately, it didn't work.
The doctors tried everything they could, but to no avail.
However, it can be predicted that the World Government will not give up on Iceburg easily, and this man will likely remain in the World Government's hospital for many more years.
Well, so this guy can indulge in his daydreams for a few more years.
While Water 7 was in turmoil, Zeus had already led everyone back to the New World.
Meanwhile, the pirates under Golden Lion's command were also making their move.
They landed in one non- World Government Member States after another, following Golden Lion's orders to plant the Flying Pirates' flag all over the seas!
It should be said that the vast majority of non- Affiliated Nation were very cooperative. After all, everyone had seen that photo in the newspapers, so who would dare to resist? Nobody wanted to be swallowed up by a giant island that had fallen from the sky.
However, of course, since we say the vast majority, there are exceptions.
This world has never lacked audacious individuals.
One country chose to resist the invading pirates.
Because Golden Lion didn't restrain his pirate crew, the pirates not only conquered island after island, but also unleashed their malice.
Almost every country suffered damage to varying degrees.
This country, even knowing this situation, still chose to resist.
It must be said that this country is indeed quite capable; they repelled the attacking pirates.
Then, the whole New World became somewhat quiet.
Everyone is waiting for the Golden Lion's move; everyone is waiting for the fate of this country.
One day, two days, three days.
More than half a week has passed, but unexpectedly, the Golden Lion has not appeared, and the country is still doing just fine.
Rumors began to circulate at sea.
"Is that Golden Lion guy just bragging?"
"That's hard to say, after all, nobody knows if the photo in the newspaper is fake."
People were talking about it.
After all, most people in the world have never seen the Golden Lion in person, let alone witnessed it displaying its abilities.
Does he really have the ability to move islands and smash them against people?
It's understandable that people would have such questions.
Just as these rumors were gaining momentum, it was early morning, just as the sun was rising.
In this nation that has risen up in resistance, the country has remained on high alert for the past few days, fearing a sudden attack from the Golden Lion.
Although such vigilance is meaningless when the Golden Lion actually arrives, doing something will at least offer them some comfort.
Moreover, there is another very important reason why they dared to rise up in resistance.
They have someone backing them up, and in fact, the country had already made "preparations" for the upcoming attack by the Golden Lion.
Otherwise, who would dare to oppose the Golden Lion?
However, after several days without the appearance of the Golden Lion, the people of this country began to become somewhat complacent.
No one can stay on edge forever; as human beings, we all have moments of relaxation.
For example, right now, after several days of intense tension, the soldiers on duty are all drowsy this morning, and those taking a break are already snoring loudly.
