Chapter 254 Golden Lion

Zoro was still in shock and had not recovered. A noisy voice came from a distance, and then a tall naval officer came over under the escort of a group of naval soldiers.

The man's face seemed to have been injured, and he wore a metal jaw. Not only that, unlike ordinary people, he had a sharp axe in his right hand. With his fierce appearance and strong body, the whole person exuded a dangerous aura.

"What happened here?"

Colonel Monka came over with his subordinates and looked at Rhodes and his party who were gathered together, his eyes full of indifference.

He was the head of the 153rd branch of the Navy and the ruler of the town of Shields.

These people in front of him did not bow their heads to show respect when they saw him. They were already going to die!

"Asshole, you don't even salute when you see Colonel Monka!"

The clever navy pointed his gun at Rhodes and his party and shouted loudly.

"Don't people here read newspapers? The internal communications of the navy are also good."

"What? You guy..."

Bang!

The clever navy soldier wanted to say more, but a fist hit him, interrupting his words, and the whole person was directly knocked out by the terrifying force.

"Stop talking nonsense, I haven't spoken yet!"

After knocking his subordinates away with a punch, Colonel Monka stretched out his hand to hold the giant axe in his right hand, looking down at the group of uninvited guests in front of him, with a bit of coldness in his voice.

"I want these women. As for you, for the sake of women, get out of here! Or, do you want to try my axe blade?"

"I'm really fed up with this kind of idiot."

Rod shook his head slightly and walked directly with his companions to the tallest building in the town.

That's the navy base.

Under the rule of Colonel Monka, a corrupt and decadent navy, the navy branch was built very grandly and occupied the best location in the town.

Originally, Rhode didn't want to go to the navy base. He just wanted to find a restaurant to taste the local specialties of the East China Sea, and then wait for the Golden Lion's flying fleet to approach an area.

Unexpectedly, the navy here is an idiot, rushing to seek death.

"You!"

Colonel Monka was slightly stunned when he heard Rhode's words. Just when he reacted and wanted to say something, he felt that everything in front of him suddenly shifted, and then everything in his sight was dyed red.

"So fast!!"

Zoro widened his eyes and watched the scene in front of him.

Just now, the moment the navy colonel spoke, the strong man who had broken his weapon with his body before made a move. He only barely saw the other party's arm raised, and then the navy colonel was chopped into several pieces.

Even the huge axe on his right arm was cut into several pieces.

'Even steel can be cut! '

Zoro looked at the people walking towards the Marine Branch in front of him, and a strong impulse rose in his heart. He glanced at the Marine Colonel who was shattered to the ground, and the Marine soldier who collapsed on the ground in fear, grabbed his Wado Ichimonji, gritted his teeth and followed them.

"Are you pirates?"

Following closely behind Rhode and the others, Zoro recovered his emotions and asked.

"Yes, it is a pirate, but the Navy has cancelled the bounty on us now."

Minina glanced at Zoro who followed him, her eyes stayed on his hair for a while, and then asked him curiously.

"Why do you bite the knife in your mouth to fight?"

Minina is also well-informed. Whether it is the world's number one swordsman Hawkeye or the flower sword Vista of the Whitebeard Pirates, they have all dealt with them.

One of them is a single-sword flow, and the other is a double-sword flow.

I heard that there is a vice admiral named Ghost Spider in the Navy, who is a six-sword flow, but the other party also uses life return to let the hair hold the weapon like an arm to fight.

This was the first time she had seen a three-sword style that bit the knife in the mouth.

"Because the more knives you have, the stronger your fighting power will be!"

Zoro said as a matter of course.

"How interesting."

Robin suddenly turned her head and smiled at Zoro, raised her arm slightly, and six or seven more arms grew from her shoulders.

"If that's the case, I should be the world's number one swordsman."

"Ah!?"

Zoro opened his mouth wide and looked at Robin's arms.

So many arms, is she a ten-sword style?

Damn it!

Lost, lost miserably! !

···

"So, you are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. There are seven more terrifying guys like you in this sea, and Hawkeye is one of them!"

In the restaurant of the naval base, Rhode and his group sat together, and the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies. The chef in the base was leading the chefs to do their best to entertain the group.

Zoro swallowed a lot of food like a storm, finally filling his stomach after drifting on the sea for several days. After drinking a full glass of wine, he patted his stomach and looked at the group of people in front of him.

"You are right to understand it this way."

Seeing the clear stupidity in Zoro's eyes, Robin gave up the idea of ​​explaining the situation on the sea to him and nodded perfunctorily.

"You are from the sea over there, right? The Grand Line!"

Zoro looked at Rhodes with a burning gaze.

In the East China Sea, the Grand Line is like a legend.

Few people can enter that sea area, and there is little news about that sea area. The occasional words and phrases that are revealed are all suspicious news.

But there is one thing that is beyond doubt.

That sea area belongs to the world of the strong!

"That's right."

Rod looked at Zoro. The other party should have just gone to sea and looked very immature. Not to mention compared with the cadres of Rod Pirates, even some captains of Riot Security Company are probably much stronger than him.

However, the other party is a man of firm will and tenacity. His growth potential is far greater than those people.

If he can be brought into the new world early and experience enough tempering, he should be able to grow up faster.

"How about it, do you want to follow me?"

"Following you should allow me to get closer to the peak of kendo faster!"

Zoro stroked the handle of the Wado Ichimonji, and an unspeakable emotion rose in his heart.

His goal is to become the world's number one swordsman and let his reputation resound throughout the kingdom of heaven.

However, the East China Sea is too barren. He has not met a few decent swordsmen in such a long time.

Without the oppression of strong enemies, it is unknown how long it will take to achieve the goal.

If I can follow them into the Grand Line, I am afraid I will meet many swordsmen worth fighting!

No, just these few people are enough for me to challenge!

"Of course, you will see the peak of the last era, the great swordsman!"

Rhodes smiled slightly, and the three-sword green algae head was his man.

"Great swordsman!?"

Zoro was slightly startled.

There is a great swordsman in the East China Sea?

"Here."

Violet reminded him, and Neru fully unfolded his observation Haki, accompanied by the power of the Thunder Fruit, and swept towards the sky.

"Let's go!"

Rhodes stood up, stepped out of the gate of the naval base, and walked towards the coast. A group of companions followed behind him. In front of them, beyond their sight, in the sky covered by clouds, islands floated.

···

Rogue Town

Smoker put down the Den Den Mushi in his hand and stuffed a cigar into his mouth. The thick smoke blew out and covered his head.

"Is there anything in the East China Sea worth his plot? Tyrant."

After thinking for a while and coming to no conclusion, Smoker directly called the Navy Headquarters and reported the news from the 153rd Branch to the Navy Headquarters. Then he turned around and immediately ordered his adjutant to prepare the ship to sail.

"No matter what your plan is, I will keep an eye on you, Tyrant Rod!"

Soon, a warship set off from Rogue Town and sailed quickly towards Shields Town.

And with Smoker's departure, the news that Tyrant Rod appeared in the East China Sea was quickly heard by CP0 through the navy.

"It's time to act."

The chief of CP0 sorted out the information about the important cadres of the Rod Pirates in front of him.

"Captain of the third division, one of the explosive duo, Pekin, and vice-captain Kosa, are now in the Dawson Kingdom in the North Sea."

"Captain of the fifth division, the other member of the explosive duo, Xiaqi, is in the Belleque Kingdom in the South Sea."

"Captain of the ninth division, Brook, and vice-captain Bepo, are now in Broccoli Island in the New World."

"Captain of the twelfth division, Gray, and vice-captain Franky, are now in Mordick Island."

"The rest are either in Greenbit or with Tyrant Rod."

"The focus of our operation this time is Pekin, Xiaqi, Bepo, and Gray! Especially the first three, they are the subordinates who followed Tyrant Rod when he went to sea, and they are the most valuable!"

"We must act at the same time, and we must not let the news leak out in advance, and the goal is to capture them alive!"

With the order of the CP0 chief, the big net that the World Government has been preparing for a long time began to close, and the shadows shrouded the cadres of the Rod Pirates.

East China Sea, 10,000 meters above the sky

Islands float in the air, and unlike the sky islands, these islands are not made up of island clouds, but like the islands in Qinghai, they are made up of rocks and soil.

These islands float in the air like a fleet, and the governor of this fleet is the legend of the last era, the flying pirate Golden Lion Shiki!

On an island in front, in a luxurious room, Golden Lion sat in his seat and looked at the islands outside through the window.

From his perspective, he could see that the islands were covered with various plants, and not only that, but there were also countless large animals living on the islands.

Since he escaped from the Impel Down City more than a decade ago, he led several loyal subordinates to float in the air with the ability of the Floating Fruit and conduct secret research.

The "IQ" substance he accidentally discovered can make animals violent. With the beasts he secretly cultivated in the sky island, once the research is completed, it will be enough to turn the entire East China Sea into ruins!

Now the research has been basically completed, and it only takes a while for the beasts to grow further.

During this time, I will also recruit more pirates to join my plan to destroy the East China Sea.

Then, I will be able to let the world see my terror again!

"Hahahaha!"

Thinking of himself driving countless ferocious beasts and turning the East China Sea where Roger was born into a ruin, and thinking of the world government trembling under the power he controlled, Shi Ji couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Boom! ! !

Thunder suddenly sounded in the air.

"Ah, bad, it's a thunderstorm!"

Shi Ji woke up suddenly.

Controlling the island to float in the sky, although it avoided the possibility of being discovered and hunted by the navy, but at an altitude of 10,000 meters, thunderstorms and strong winds were inevitable. Although Shi Ji recruited many navigators in various ways, it was still difficult to predict every storm.

And every storm encountered was a disaster for them, and there would always be some unlucky people and animals falling from the sky.

Shi Ji walked out of the room quickly and looked at the sky in the distance. His originally panicked face suddenly calmed down.

In front of the flying island, there was a huge thundercloud floating, and above the thundercloud, there were several figures standing.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to find me, Lingling!"

The thundercloud in front of Golden Lion was too familiar!

It was the power creation of Charlotte Lingling, a former companion of Rocks Pirates.

Thinking of what he had heard before, Charlotte Lingling became the so-called "Pirate Emperor" like Whitebeard, Golden Lion's heart moved and he opened his mouth to invite.

"How about it, do you want to join me to completely destroy the East China Sea and let the World Government see our power!"

"If the two of us join forces, even this world can be taken over by us!"

"Your eyes are blurry, the Lingling you mentioned has been killed."

Driving the thundercloud under his feet to approach Golden Lion's island, and then landing directly on Golden Lion's island with his companions, Rhodes looked at the old pirate in front of him.

With his golden hair flying wildly, he really looked like a golden lion.

However, there was a rudder on his head, which made him look more like a rooster.

However, whether it was the Golden Lion or the Golden Rooster, this old guy could no longer arouse Rhode's interest.

"Leave it to you, Neru."

"There are not many opportunities to kill the legend of the last era."

"Hmm?"

The Golden Lion smiled, and a strong spirit emanated from his body. His golden hair fluttered without wind, making him look full of domineering.

"It is indeed not easy to kill Lingling, but, can you not tell the situation just because of this, kid!"

"I am the Golden Lion!!"

With the roar of the Golden Lion, the ground under the feet of the crowd was instantly overturned by a terrifying force, turning into huge lion heads, and crushing towards Rhode and his group with a terrifying momentum.
