The Golden Lion smiled weakly, forcing himself to stand up. He looked at World with almost disbelief in his eyes, "You bastard, what are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to rescue you."

Naito asked, "Are you moved?"

"You bastard!"

Golden Lion smirked. "If you really wanted to save me, wouldn't it have been easier to just call beforehand?"

"But--"

He glanced around at his ferocious enemies, "I really should thank you."

Whatever this guy's purpose may be, the fact that he's here is already a tremendous favor!

"World Destroyer, Bandi World!"

Hawk-Eyes's expression gradually became excited. "So that's why the government is summoning the Shichibukai?"

Hehehehehe! Great!

Gecko Moria laughed maniacally, then looked up at the grave-faced Zephyr, "Hey! Marines! Hand over World's corpse to me too!"

"As long as you can handle him, do as you please."

Zephyr said in a deep voice.

I never expected that World would actually show up.

But what's going on?

How did he know the government was going to take action against the Golden Lion?

Was he informed by one of the Shichibukai? Or is there a spy for him within the government?

Forget it, now is not the time to dwell on these things!

Let's take down these two guys first!

In this way, the chaotic situation in the New World can be resolved in one fell swoop!

Let's stop here.

Naito, controlling World, spoke calmly, "Continuing like this will be pointless."

"What do you think you are?"

Zephyr clenched his fists, his tone cold and sharp, "World, you're not leaving now that you're here!"

"That's really nonsensical."

Naito said with a hint of mockery, "Do you think you can just leave us here?"

Why don't you give it a try and see?

Kizaru's body turned into light.

Hawk-Eyes gripped his broadsword tightly, ready to strike.

"Smoker- senpai, get away from that!"

Ain said gravely, "If we get closer now, we'll only become a burden!"

"Hateful!"

Smoker cursed under his breath, and though somewhat unwilling, he quickly moved away from the fragmented island.

The battle between the real monsters is about to begin!

"Shiki, dispel the ability."

Naito said calmly.

"Don't try to order me around!"

Golden Lion snorted coldly, but still obediently and instantly deactivated the power of the Float-Float Fruit.

And then, in the next instant, the shattered island that had been floating in the air crashed down.

The Shichibukai suddenly lost their footing, and even a man like Hawk-Eyes was falling.

"Guhahahaha!"

Crocodile laughed, his body turning into yellow sand once more, forming a platform that caught all the falling Shichibukai.

"In that case, it seems there's nothing we can do."

If you can't move flexibly in the air, you simply can't participate in the subsequent battle.

Therefore, it can only be three people from the Navy.

Without any hesitation, Zephyr and Naito simultaneously hurtled towards the Golden Lion and World, with Naito even leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake.

But.

That's why I said it's nonsensical.

Naito grabbed the Golden Lion by the shoulder.

Laugh!

The two vanished in an instant, leaving Naito and Zephyr empty-handed.

"What?"

Zephyr's expression changed drastically, and he looked up at the sky in disbelief.

In the sky, Kizaru, wielding his laser sword, was already clashing with World, who had drawn his sword.

Wow, so fast!

How could it possibly be this fast!

It's much faster than when we fought before. With Geppo alone, I can't even smell World's exhaust fumes!

This is troublesome!

In other words, only Borsalino can keep up now.

But--

Boom!

Amidst a deafening roar that shook the heavens, both Kizaru and World were sent flying by their opponent.

"Wow, it's much better than the Golden Lion."

As Kizaru sighed, sweat beaded on his forehead.

World's strength is in no way inferior to his!

In that case, how could he possibly stop World and the Golden Lion by himself?

"Hahaha! I thought we were finished!"

The Golden Lion, clearly realizing the crisis was completely over, burst into laughter, "I really have to thank you! My good ally!"

Then, he glared fiercely at Kizaru, "Navy, just you wait! This isn't over yet!"

He's definitely going to get his revenge!

Naito smirked, thinking, "Let him get away with this."

He gave Kizaru a deep look, "If you have the guts, follow me."

With that, Naito shot off into the distant sky without hesitation.

With the projection speed at full throttle, coupled with the extreme acceleration of the More-More Fruit, it instantly soared to the edge of the sky.

Kizaru instantly transformed into a beam of light in pursuit, but the moment he solidified his body, a long sword Coating with powerful Haki slashed down upon him.

Moreover, it wasn't just World's blade; the Golden Lion cleaved down with a single sword strike.

This time, Kizaru didn't even dare to fight World anymore, and before he could even fully assemble his body, he widened the distance once again.

Sure enough, there's nothing we can do about them anymore.

The operation failed.

Kizaru watched helplessly as the two disappeared into the horizon.

Chapter 190 The True Alliance!

The sky became quiet.

The wrecked island has already crashed, and it's safe to say that none of the pirates on it survived.

"Hahaha, looks like it's a complete failure?"

Crocodile, whose lower body transformed into yellow sand, forming a platform of sand, while whose upper body remained in human form, spoke with a hint of mockery.

"Heh heh, stop making sarcastic remarks at a time like this, Crocodile, the situation is already quite ugly."

While Hanafuda ostensibly advised Crocodile not to kick him while he was down, his tone was actually full of schadenfreude.

Because it's really ugly.

Those who came to defeat the Golden Lion were all formidable and influential figures.

Former Navy Admiral, the legendary Navy Black Arm Zephyr.

The new naval hero, the undisputed future Admiral, Thousand Shadows Naito.

The World Government's top combat force, current Admiral Kizaru.

Also, all six of the Shichibukai.

Hanafuda thought to himself that with such combined strength, even the Beasts Pirates, led by Kaido, would be no match for them.

However, this seemingly foolproof operation was thwarted by World all by himself!

This means the operation was kept secret; otherwise, where would the World Government put its face?

But--

A hint of horror flickered in Hanafuda's eyes.

World is indeed terrifying; no wonder even Kaido couldn't handle him.

Putting everything else aside, with his speed, who on the high seas could possibly do anything to him?

Even Kizaru is probably not as troublesome as him.

Kizaru is certainly faster World, but Kizaru is only fast on his own, while World can carry more people and move at supersonic speeds!

If we can't defeat him head-on, then we won't even have a chance to escape.

Even if you can overpower him head-on, you have no chance of winning if you can't catch up with him.

What's most terrifying isn't a direct confrontation with World, but rather this man's decision to wage guerrilla warfare.

Hehe, the World Government must be terrified by now, right?
