Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

The moment the golden lion's right hand slapped the deck, Crocodile's expression changed.

He had heard of Golden Lion's devil fruit ability, which was a terrifying power called "Piao Piao Fruit".

Any inorganic matter, as long as it is touched by the Golden Lion's hand, he can manipulate those inorganic objects to float in the air as he pleases.

This "floating" is by no means limited to the kind of slowly floating around.

Rapid ascent, rapid descent, flashing and maneuvering...anything is possible!

Golden Lion can use its ability to make dozens of floating islands float in the air all year round, and can also control small islands suspended in midair to smash down.

Well enough……

With only one's own power, the ships of the Universal Alliance are lifted to high altitudes at an extremely fast speed!

...

The scene in front of him reminded Crocodile of the time when they flew to Sky Island on the soaring current.

Only this time, it is not the natural phenomenon called the soaring ocean current that provides the lift for the ships of the Universal Alliance, but the ability of the devil fruit!

In an instant, most of the people on the deck of the ship could not help but bend their waists, their knees slightly bent.

Because of the rapid climb of the entire ship, an unspeakable gravity pressed on the crew members.

On the deck, only a few people were able to maintain their original standing posture.

Crocodile used the gravel to fix himself on the deck indiscriminately, and Tiger and Huoka even had blue veins all over their bodies, and then stabilized their bodies.

Among them, the only ones who really kept the original posture still were Luo Wen and the Golden Lion himself!

"Tsk, what an exaggerated old monster..."

Crocodile frowned.

He knew very well that unlike the last time he went to the sky, this time Rowan did not have the ability to transform the entire ship into a gliding aircraft with gravel, because there was no such large amount of gravel in the cabin.

Once the Golden Lion lets the ship fly high into the sky, they will have to face the danger that the Golden Lion can control the ship to fall at any time!

Crocodile glanced at Rowan, and found that the latter was squinting, as if thinking about something.

Are you thinking of a solution?

Is there any other way to kill that old monster directly?

no, no...

Now the owner of the Pluto blueprint—that is, the whereabouts of the murloc Tom is unknown, and they still have to rely on the golden lion to find him!

All in all, hurry up and figure out a way, I don't want to experience a high-altitude free fall!

—— Crocodile thought so.

...

Rowan was indeed thinking about something.

But unfortunately, not the so-called "solution".

He is remembering.

Recalling the confrontation between myself and the golden lion at the level of knowledge and domineering a few seconds ago!

"It's amazing..."

Rowan murmured.

He was lamenting the power of the Golden Lion.

It is the strength of the "Golden Lion", not the strength of the "Golden Lion's knowledge, color and domineering".

There is a difference between the two.

No matter how the times change, the judgment of "powerful" in this sea is always the same.

As far as individuals are concerned, ancient people will not be stronger, and modern people will not be weaker.

And if you add technology, politics, tactics and other realistic factors, modern people will even be stronger than ancient people!

This is the law of historical development.

The reason why ancient weapons are classified as "legends" by the world is because the appearance of ancient weapons broke this law, nothing more.

The Golden Lion used to be an "invincible" existence in the sea, and if he was placed in the chaotic era eight hundred years ago, there must be a place for the Golden Lion in that era!

Because of this, the fighting power of the Golden Lion is undoubtedly strong.

But this does not mean that the "golden lion's knowledgeable domineering" is very strong.

Or to be more precise, the Golden Lion is far inferior to the first-line level in the sea in terms of domineering!

The domineering man who once crossed the sea is not even as domineering as a domineering beginner!

Why?

No need to explain, as that should be self-explanatory.

On the head of the golden lion, there is half an oar inserted, which is the heavy wound he received in the naval battle of Ait Vol.

Taking this as an opportunity, the arrogance of the golden lion gradually dissipated.

Presumably in the past few years, the golden lion will completely lose the ability to control domineering!

That being the case, why was the domineering and knowledgeable Golden Lion able to stand in a stalemate with Luo Wen for such a long time?

The answer is also very simple.

The confrontation between Luo Wen and the Golden Lion just now was essentially a contest of "predicting the opponent's actions".

At this level of competition, knowledge and arrogance are of course the best auxiliary means, but at the same time "human brain" and "combat experience" are also an indispensable part of it.

In other words, relying on its powerful brain power and combat experience, Golden Lion made up for the huge gap between him and Luo Wen in terms of knowledge, domineering and domineering!

"So, he is really a powerful man..."

Rowan murmured.

The wild laughter of the golden lion resounded through the sky.

"Tsk ha ha ha ha ha!"

The ship climbed rapidly until it penetrated the fog and pierced the clouds.

Everyone actually saw the sunlight coming from above their heads in the mist of the Devil's Triangle!

At this time, everyone on the deck realized that the Golden Lion actually took them to a height no less than the height of Sky Island!

This place has already escaped from the area shrouded in fog, and the sun shines on the deck again, making it very dazzling.

Not far from the ship, the fleet of the Golden Lion's Flying Pirates and several accompanying floating islands are on standby.

Tiger turned his head and saw a familiar figure on the deck.

Huh, is that Tom?

Great, found him!

But then, the feeling of being overweight gradually dissipated, and the icy cold wind in the sky made Tiger wake up.

He realized everyone's current situation.

The sky - is the home of the Golden Lion.

Mr. Rowan does have the terrifying ability to change the pattern of the earth, and even fabricate a gravel city from the earth.

But facing the empty sky and the endless sea, there must be nothing that Mr. Luo Wen can do!

——Tiger thinks so.

Hoka almost thought the same way.

Crocodile didn't think so.

After experiencing several incidents, Crocodile forced himself to develop a habit:

Always deny your first judgment about Rowan's actions, because it must be wrong!

Just like this moment.

Crocodile's eyes were low, subconsciously preparing for the impact.

Since I feel that Luo Wen is "forced" to go to heaven and "has to" think of a solution, then the fact must not be the case!

Fact - it really isn't.

Soon, everyone on board, including the golden lion, knew the answer to the matter.

Luo Wen didn't just watch the golden lion take the ship to the sky while thinking about the solution.

Because from the very beginning, Golden Lion's move of "taking the ship to the sky" was a part of Luo Wen's solution to the "previous dilemma"!

...

Rowan glanced at the floating island beside him.

Then, it turned back to the golden lion.

"Thank you for asking me to go to heaven."

"In return—"

Rowan grinned, and the smile on his face deepened a bit.

He raised the black gun in his hand and pulled it horizontally.

"I'll invite you to play underground!"

Swish!

The moment the voice just fell, the black gun swept across!

At that moment, Rowan's grit drew a "line" across the air.

Floating Island - Fall!

...

Crocodile understood what Rowan was thinking:

Since there is no suitable foothold for Rusha Fruit to play, then use the site of the Golden Lion to create one!
