Chapter 278 Hunting the Golden Lion Shiki
"The blueprints for Hades?"
When some captains of affiliated pirate crews heard about Shiki the Golden Lion's mission, they immediately began to mutter to themselves.
The blueprints for Hades are now in the hands of Luo Ji, the world's most notorious criminal, the world's highest-paid criminal, and the god-slayer.
Not to mention that these lackeys can't find the Luo Ji World Group at all, even if Shiki the Golden Lion personally went out, he probably couldn't defeat the Godslayer Luo Ji.
Now Shiki the Golden Lion actually wants them to find a way to get their hands on the blueprints for Hades.
What difference is there between sending them to their deaths and doing this?
If they had the ability to get their hands on the blueprints for Hades, wouldn't it be better for them to keep them for themselves?
Who wants to be the leader of this thief association!
Joining the Luo Ji World Group might be better than being this lousy guild leader.
However, they are currently in Shiki the Golden Lion's territory, and the legendary pirate's influence still lingers.
These affiliated pirate crews echoed each other, displaying a fanatical devotion to Shiki the Golden Lion.
But whether or not to do it is another matter entirely.
Their efforts to become an affiliated pirate crew of the Flying Pirates are simply a way to curry favor with the powerful and, by using Shiki the Golden Lion's name, run rampant and cause trouble everywhere.
No way they'd do anything dangerous.
'That old bastard really did have his eye on the Hades design.'
Crocodile, disguised and in disguise, stood behind Mr. 2, the 'captain,' and looked at Shiki the Golden Lion, the bald old lion, with a mocking smile.
Once Luo Ji and his group arrive and gang up on Shiki the Golden Lion, he will be able to obtain the Hades blueprints.
He played a crucial role in finding Shiki the Golden Lion's lair so quickly this time.
As for Hanafza, that brute, he was basically just coasting along.
The copy of the Hades design blueprint that Luo Ji rewarded him with must have been his.
"Spend two days playing in my Sky Island world, then obediently go and do my bidding!"
After exchanging pleasantries with these 'weak' subordinate captains, Shiki the Golden Lion left the party hall.
To be honest, Shiki the Golden Lion looked down on the strength of these Grand Line pirate crews.
However, there's no way around it. The New World is the territory of the Four Emperors, and the elite pirate crews in the New World prioritize joining the Four Emperors' crews, looking down on Golden Lion, a past legendary pirate.
Since Shiki's floating world is located in the Grand Line, he can only choose the tallest among the short ones and recruit some pirate crews from the Grand Line as his subordinates.
These useless pirate crews played almost no role at all when the Straw Hat Pirates wreaked havoc on the floating islands; they were completely relegated to the background.
Following Shiki the Golden Lion's orders, the captains of more than forty affiliated pirate crews began to visit and tour the floating islands.
While we're at it, let's also take a look at the evolved beasts on the floating island.
"Ha ha ha, what kind of rotten fish are the pirates under Golden Lion's command!"
After the various pirate crews dispersed, Hanafza, who looked like a lackey, muttered to Crocodile, who had also changed his clothes.
"Once we pinpoint the Golden Lion's location, we'll take action as soon as Luo Ji and the others arrive!"
Crocodile narrowed his eyes, seemingly not taking the legendary pirate Shiki the Golden Lion seriously at all.
That makes sense, even formidable figures like Count Red and Barrett were subdued by Luo Ji.
What waves can a half-crippled Golden Lion Shiki make?
Furthermore, Issho's Gravity Fruit ability is quite effective against Shiki the Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit ability.
Mr. 2 Bon Clay, who possesses the power of the Imitation Fruit, is filled with unease yet also unusual excitement about the upcoming 'Golden Lion Hunt'.
I never imagined that I, a small-time pirate with a bounty of over 30 million, would have the opportunity to participate in a plan of this magnitude.
Their new boss at the Baroque Studio has become the famous Luo Ji.
Even Mr. 1 Daz Bones, the user of the Slash-Slash Fruit, was full of anticipation for this hunt.
Perhaps after this Golden Lion incident, they will be able to proudly sail the seas under the label of the Luo Ji World Group.
···
While Crocodile and his companions were 'wandering around' and finally located their residence in the Golden Lion World, the Luo Ji World Group, following the guidance of the Life Paper, sped towards the Golden Lion's floating base camp.
The Ark Maxims, Part 1.
"I never thought I'd be able to hunt down that bastard Shiki the Golden Lion today."
During the Battle of Eddwarf between the Roger Pirates and the Flying Pirates, Bullet was still on board.
At that time, they were truly driven to the brink of despair by a massive air pirate crew.
The relentless barrage of fire from fifty or sixty airborne pirate ships nearly sank the Oro Jackson.
Back then, Golden Lion also had several powerful subordinates.
If it weren't for a bizarre and extreme storm...
Barrett felt that Roger's crew of several dozen people really couldn't outlast the Flying Pirates, even if each crew member was incredibly powerful and could take on a hundred men.
"The first legendary pirate to escape Impel Down, let's see what he's capable of."
Shiryu of the Rain had high expectations for Shiki the Golden Lion, who had brought shame upon Impel Down.
I really want to stab such a big shot to death.
"Just smile and make sure he doesn't fly away. This old lion is affected by the ship's rudder on its head and can't exert much strength anymore."
Right now, his Float-Float Fruit ability is the most impressive.
Luo Ji was determined to get the Golden Lion Shiki; this half-crippled lion king, whose mind was occasionally not clear, was definitely not going to escape.
"Also, if the Golden Lion loses consciousness, the floating island he controls will crash. Be careful."
Luo Ji concluded by reminding everyone to try not to knock out the Golden Lion.
Even if you are seriously injured, don't die in the danger of the island falling.
Otherwise, it would be too much of a loss.
···
The second day of the affiliated pirate crew's trip to the floating islands.
Just as the Golden Lion was about to send these 'weakling' subordinates away.
The flying warships of the Luo Ji World Group finally arrived at this flying archipelago.
Kuma teleported there instantly, leaving teleportation marks of his Paw-Paw Fruit ability on these islands.
Yi Xiao was also filled with disbelief at these dozen or so floating islands.
He admitted that his Gravity Fruit ability couldn't achieve that level.
The Float-Float Fruit's power is indeed formidable.
It's amazing that so many islands can remain floating high in the sky.
"This old lion has been hiding here all along, living a good life."
Barrett was utterly disdainful of Shiki's behavior of hiding away; such a person had probably long lost his ambition, just like that good-for-nothing Gecko Moria.
Now, even the power of Conqueror's Haki is probably pitifully weak.
It's hard to believe that this guy once cornered Roger in a life-or-death situation.
"Go and capture Shiki the Golden Lion first! If this floating island doesn't fall, then you can go on your adventures and explore."
Seeing how eager Yamato, Bonnie, and the other girls were to go to the island, Luo Ji made serious arrangements.
If everyone were scattered across various floating islands, and if Shiki the Golden Lion were to be violently beaten unconscious, Luo Ji wouldn't be able to spare enough people to rescue him.
Anyway, taking down Shiki the Golden Lion won't take much time.
