The Golden Lion Returns! Sea Circle Calendar 1534 (Continued)

And more importantly, this time the Golden Lion only destroyed one country, so what about next time?

What kind of revenge will Golden Lion take after the next failed campaign?

Zephyr gritted his teeth.

He finally realized it.

From now on, it will be difficult for the government to make the decision to attack the Golden Lion and World.

He simply sighed dejectedly, "Let's turn back."

There's nothing we can do now.

Later.

Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle, Room of Authority.

"Have these two old fogies from the last era really gotten to this point?"

Saturn sat on the large sofa, leaning on his cane, saying it was troublesome, but his face remained expressionless.

"It seems the navy alone is no longer enough to deal with World and Golden Lion."

As always, the long-bearded Marcus Saint Mars didn't sit on the sofa; instead, he stood alone beside a single sofa, his hands behind his back.

"World's two abilities combined give him such incredible mobility that only Borsalino can keep up with him, while Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit grants them destructive power that even we would have to fear."

"If we let them run rampant and cause destruction, the whole world will never be at peace."

Saint Warcury crossed his arms, his brow furrowed. "So, what's the deal with that World guy? Where did he get his second Devil Fruit ability?"

"We'll probably only be able to get the answer to this by catching that guy."

Holding his beloved sword, Saint Nusjuro leaned casually against the sofa, adjusting his glasses. "But as you said, neither the God's Knights nor we can keep up with his speed. To truly defeat them, I'm afraid that lord himself will have to descend to the mortal realm—"

For a moment, the spacious room became somewhat quiet.

Wow, it's gotten this complicated.

The last Roger Pirates, who inexplicably found the legendary One Piece.

"How that person decides is not something we can interfere with."

Dressed in a burgundy suit, with his legs crossed, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter said solemnly, "All we can do now is try our best to stabilize the situation."

"It seems there's no way to deal with those two in the short term. Sengoku's strategy was correct. In the current situation, the only option is to stockpile more military power in the New World."

"Simply relocating the Marine Headquarters isn't enough. We also need the Shichibukai. It's a waste that they're just staying in the first half of the world. I'm not saying we should all relocate them to the New World, but at the very least, they need to go New World regularly to help relieve the pressure on the Marines!"

Now, it's not just Golden Lion and World who's gathered in the New World.

Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, Whitebeard —which one is easy to deal with?

And that traitor from the Figarland family! That brat's strength is gradually becoming something to be reckoned with!

There's even a group of giants who are always at odds with the government!

Although the government has always treated that area of water as a cesspool, allowing pirates to fight there at will.

But now the cesspool is about to explode, so the only option is to suppress it forcefully!

Shortly thereafter.

The territory of World and his crew in the later part of the New World.

In the sky above a certain country, white clouds drifted silently.

"This!"

The Golden Lion sat on the operating table, looking down incredulously at his legs.

In order to escape Impel Down, he cut off both his legs and embedded his two beloved knives in them.

From that moment on, the world-renowned swordsman Golden Lion Shiki disappeared completely.

However, at this moment, his two thick calves below the knees were completely intact.

Not only that, the Golden Lion looked up and touched its head again.

The half-ship's wheel embedded in his head had also disappeared, and since his hair hadn't grown back yet, his hairstyle looked somewhat comical.

Golden Lion pointed at the young man standing beside the operating table, his voice trembling with excitement, "Hey, Night King! Just who is this kid? How can he even do something like this?"

This little brat, in less than ten minutes, had both legs reattached, and he even managed to remove the ship's wheel from his head!

Does the Night King have such a formidable brat among his men?

Luo, standing beside the operating table, pursed his lips slightly.

Golden Lion, the legendary great pirate, not only appeared before me, but I had even just performed surgery on him.

What should have been an exciting event now seems less surprising.

Luo has been here for some time.

The Sea Kings escorted them across the Calm Belt, directly to World's territory, and they successfully reunited with the officers without any trouble.

Although it took some getting used to at first, I've eventually gotten used to it over time.

Although the Night King's subordinates were all ridiculously strong monsters, under Miss Luna's management, there was no bullying of newcomers, and Law's integration went quite smoothly.

For some time now, Luo has been doing almost only one thing every day.

Exercise.

Physical fitness, martial arts skills, and most importantly, trying to Awakening Haki.

It was a very fulfilling experience.

He was so busy that he was almost too tired to think about anything else. He hadn't even used the Op-Op Fruit in a long time and almost forgot that he was a Devil Fruit user.

Even today.

"The Paramecia Op-Op Fruit, it's a very amazing ability, isn't it?"

Naito leaned against the wall, saying with interest, "Now that you've regained your legs and the old head injury has healed, it would be a bit unreasonable for Shiki to be as weak as before."

"Hahahaha!"

Golden Lion clenched his right fist tightly, arcs of black electricity leaping from it. "Then you'll just have to wait and see. It won't be long before I show you just how powerful the Flying Pirates of yesteryear truly were!"

"That would be best."

Naito nodded slightly. "If you drag me down later, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Who do you think I am?

The Golden Lion countered with a standard rhetorical question, then chuckled, "However, Night King, I'll remember this favor!"

Naito just smiled.

Shortly thereafter, at Naval G-1 Base.

Three naval warships have already anchored in the port.

"Naito! I don't want to leave you!"

Hancock clung tightly to Naito's coat sleeve, her eyes brimming with tears, utterly aggrieved.

The operation has completely failed; the Shichibukai should return home.

Naito, however, insisted on staying behind, as the Marine Guerrilla Unit had already assembled at the base.

Beside Naito, Ain's lips curled into a smile that seemed both tight and tight.

Weren't you very arrogant before?

Don't talk nonsense.

Naito glanced at her. "Go back to where you belong."

Hancock was taken aback.

Where should I go?

Yes, I am the captain of the Kuja Pirates and the emperor of Amazon Lily. I bear heavy responsibilities. Is Naito reminding me of this?

How gentle Naito!

They completely ignored the word "get lost".

Naito,

Hancock said urgently, "If I leave you, I will die..."

"If you're so easy to die, then you might as well just die."

Naito remained ruthless.

However, Hancock still automatically embellished his words.

Naito, are you angry because of me?

That's right. It's really too ugly for a concubine to abandon her responsibilities just to stay by Naito's side!

Naito doesn't want his concubine to become like that!

Oh! How tragic!

Love or country, I can only choose between the two.

Um?

Hancock remembered something else.

She immediately perked up, "I understand! I will go back!"

Ain breathed a slight sigh of relief.

That shameless, clingy woman is finally going to get lost.

But Hancock immediately added, "But I'll come to see you in the New World often, Naito! Anyway, the government requires the Shichibukai to come to the New World regularly!"

Ain's smile froze instantly.

That's true.

On their way back, the Shichibukai received a notice that they must spend a period of time each year coming to the New World to replenish their fighting force.

Crocodile and Moria both had strong opinions about this.

But did this policy actually benefit this vile woman?

Ain gritted her teeth inwardly.

Fortunately, Naito's reaction pleased her.

Naito merely glanced at Hancock, his expression blank. "Suit yourself."

So, Hancock reluctantly left and boarded a warship bound for Red Port with Crocodile and the others.

Next, Naito will lead the Marine Guerrilla Unit on a voyage as admiral.

The first mission is to escort Professor Zephyr and his team to rebuild G-14 Base.
