Gion quickly replied.

Zephyr snapped out of his daze, "Then quickly call Viola over!"

Soon, recruit Viola hurriedly entered the room of an officer whose rank was at least that of Rear Admiral general.

Viola,

Zephyr asked almost urgently, "Where are those two bastards World and the Golden Lion, now?"

"They are heading towards the latter part of the New World!"

Viola, disregarding her nervousness, replied without hesitation, "The speed is frighteningly fast, but it hasn't escaped my observation range yet!"

"The latter part of the New World?"

Gion pondered, "Could it be that Golden Lion has decided to abandon this sea area? Is he going to completely join forces with World?"

"Impossible!"

Zephyr went straight to the point, "Given Golden Lion's arrogance, how could he possibly bow down to World, even though World is his ally and just saved his life!"

"But, isn't there still a possibility that we should abandon this area of water?"

Vice Admiral Simon speculated, "At least now the Golden Lion knows that our campaign against him will not end here."

Before the officers could come up with anything of value, Viola exclaimed in surprise, "They've slowed down!"

"World and the Golden Lion seem to be discussing something!"

Everyone fell silent instantly, all eyes fixed on Viola.

Viola felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that, but now was not the time to be uncomfortable, so she quickly said...

"It seems like Golden Lion and World are arguing. Golden Lion doesn't look too happy!"

Can you see what they're saying?

"Vice Admiral Simon asked."

Viola was taken aback. "I have the Glint-Glint Fruit, not the Hear-Hear Fruit!"

"I can only see the image."

Viola said succinctly.

"I see?"

Vice Admiral Simon said with some disappointment, "Viola, I have a suggestion. You could try learning lip reading."

Viola's eyes lit up immediately; that was a good idea.

"We'll talk about this later,"

Zephyr urged, "Viola, continue."

"Forehead--"

Viola, refocusing her attention on the distant sky, paused again, "They... they've made up—they even shook hands."

"Has another collaboration been reached?"

Gion frowned.

"After all, it was a life-saving grace; even a cunning villain like the Golden Lion would probably find it hard to ignore."

Kizaru said, "Really, that makes those two monsters even more closely connected—"

"They've turned!"

Viola suddenly exclaimed, "So fast!"

"Turn around?"

Zephyr suddenly turned to look at her, "Which direction are you heading?"

"This--"

Viola quickly replied, "I don't know exactly which direction they were heading, but after heading towards the latter part of the New World, they turned left!"

Zephyr frowned deeply.

That still doesn't allow you to determine direction.

What exactly were those two guys' motives?

He found out very quickly.

The two of them arrived at an island!

Viola exclaimed, "There's a country on the island! Wait! I've seen that country's flag before, it's the Siroki Kingdom!"

"The Siroki Kingdom!"

Zephyr clenched his fists instantly.

"Yes, Affiliated Nation."

Gion's expression was grave.

"Revenge, has it started so soon?"

Vice Admiral Simon gritted his teeth.

"The Golden Lion has landed!"

Viola continued her explanation, "He placed his hand on the shore of the island."

"What!"

The next instant, her expression changed drastically, almost instantly turning pale.

"The island has taken flight!!"

Chapter 192 The Golden Lion Resurrects! 1534 of the Sea Circle Calendar

Naito floated in the sky, silently watching the enormous island fall from the heavens.

The Golden Lion didn't send the country soaring too high, because he was simply too impatient.

But that's enough.

The Affiliated Nation of this World Government had flown to an altitude of over a thousand meters above the ground, and then suddenly plummeted.

Naito had excellent eyesight, so he was able to see the desperate cries and screams of the people on the edge of the island.

Then, Naito discovered something very interesting.

As the island plummeted, the people on it were pinned to the ground.

With Naito's rudimentary knowledge of physics, he remembered that Galileo had apparently conducted a similar experiment, and didn't he say that both sides fell at the same speed?

Is it because of resistance?

Naito thought about this with great interest.

A large island experiences significant air resistance during a high-speed fall, causing its speed to decrease.

However, the people on the island experienced much less air resistance, and their falling speed remained almost constant, so they landed directly on the island.

Yes, that makes perfect sense.

While making this remark.

Boom!!

The island crashed heavily into the sea below.

The already turbulent sea was torn apart in an instant, emitting a deafening roar.

The waves converged into a wall that shot skyward, and in the next instant, under the immense force of the impact, they turned into a cloud of water mist.

The terrifying shockwave spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, forcefully pushing the seawater into a huge crater that reached the seabed, causing the seabed to crack and a terrifying earthquake to erupt beneath the surface.

After the loud noise, the sea surface could not calm down for a long time, and wave after wave of huge waves rose up. The sea further away was shaking continuously, and the underwater earthquake continued to spread to even more distant places.

The tremors will likely be felt within a radius of several thousand miles.

Naito thought to himself.

That's incredible! This is the terrifying power of the Float-Float Fruit.

Destroying a country is just a matter of snapping one's fingers.

However, the Float-Float Fruit's power can only be effective in this area.

If you're really going to fight a strong opponent of equal strength, the Float-Float Fruit won't be of any use at all.

"Hahahaha!"

The Golden Lion that had smashed the country to pieces flew back, laughing heartily.

"That feels good! Now those bastards in the government should know what happens when they mess with me!"

"If you've vented, then leave."

Naito grabbed the Golden Lion's shoulder. "Let me give you a thorough treatment."

Before the Golden Lion could even figure out what Naito meant, he was already being dragged along by Naito, streaking across the sky like a bolt of Inazuma.

At the same moment, on the Marine warship side...

Viola was pale and stammered as she recounted what she had seen to the crowd.

The naval officers in the room fell silent.

So, was a country completely destroyed just like that?

Vice Admiral Simon's voice trembled, "Those two bastards, what do they think their lives are!"

"..."

Even the usually carefree Kizaru was now silent, his lips pursed. His sunglasses were perched on his nose, obscuring his eyes, but his face appeared somewhat tense.

"Damn scum!!"

Zephyr's forehead veins bulged, and his face flushed crimson. "How could they be so vicious! This absolutely cannot end like this! Those two bastards, this ocean should never have a place for them!"

"But, Professor Zephyr,"

Kizaru asked in a somewhat cryptic tone, "How should we defeat them?"

The righteous indignation on Zephyr's face vanished in an instant.

Yes, what good is anger?

Didn't they want to eliminate the Golden Lion and World before this?

But I can't do it.

Even with so much power gathered this time, we still couldn't do anything to those two guys.

Given World's speed, even if the entire Marine Headquarters were to mobilize, they wouldn't be able to stop them.
