Chapter 261 The Turbulent Times
Chapter 261 The Turbulent Times
Somewhere above the clouds in the sea, several islands are floating in the sky, shuttling through the clouds. At first glance, it looks like a fairyland.
"Admiral! Big event, big event has happened!"
A pirate with wings flew through many clouds and finally landed on the largest island in the center. Then he ran towards the villa in the center of the island with a panicked look on his face.
In the courtyard stood a man with a rough face, blond hair, half a ship's rudder on his head, and two swords under his legs instead of feet.
This person is none other than Shiki the Golden Lion, a great pirate from the same era as Whitebeard and Pirate King Roger, who invaded the Marine Headquarters alone and fought with Sengoku and Garp for three days and three nights.
Golden Lion Shiki turned around impatiently, holding a half-smoked cigar in his mouth and exhaling a slight puff of smoke.
"What's the big fuss? You keep making a fuss all day long. How can I, the admiral, rule the sea with your ugly behavior?"
Shi Ji cursed with a look of disappointment on his face. He was quite dissatisfied with the cadres under him.
Compared with the cadres under the pirates of the same generation, his cadres are always a level lower.
"No... Admiral, this is really a big event, a huge event!" The subordinate who came to report said intermittently while breathing heavily.
"The world... the world government, no... it's Saint Mary Joy, he was destroyed!"
Golden Lion's expression gradually froze. As a man who once stood at the top of the ocean, he had also been extremely frivolous. In order to prove his strength, he had even attacked the Navy Headquarters at all costs to prove his power.
Although he paid a heavy price for this, he still believed that if Roger had been willing to join forces with him, with the information on ancient weapons that Roger had, the two of them would have been able to overthrow the World Government and become the new ruler of this world.
But in the end, Roger resolutely chose to break up with him for his ridiculous dream. The two fought a big battle and ended with his defeat. He still feels aggrieved about it.
So he was not very afraid of the World Government, but when he heard this news, he still couldn't help but be moved.
"Who is it? Is it Whitebeard? No way. With his power, he can never destroy the World Government!"
Although he has lost both legs, his strength has been greatly reduced, and he has withdrawn from the ranks of the top sea masters, he absolutely does not believe that in this era without Roger, there is still someone who can accomplish such a feat.
Even Whitebeard, the man who claims to be the best in the world, can never do this.
"It's not Whitebeard, Admiral. It's the person sent by the force that captured Admiral Sengoku last time."
"They call themselves Akatsuki, and the power behind them is called the Empire!" The pirate officer, who had recovered his breath, quickly explained to Golden Lion.
"Empire, what an ambitious name!" Golden Lion took a deep puff of the cigar and then exhaled a big smoke ring.
"It seems that this world has never lacked ambitious people in any era." A gleam of light flashed in Shiqi's eyes.
He was not unfamiliar with this force. As a great pirate who once stood at the top of the ocean, there were not many forces and people that caught his eye, except for his contemporaries Roger, Whitebeard, and a few others of the navy, such as Sengoku and Garp.
In his eyes, other people are just harmless juniors, including Kaido who is now rampant in the sea and Charlotte Linlin.
And being able to defeat the Navy Admiral Sengoku and capture him already means he has the potential to be noticed by him.
He originally thought that the next battle would be between the navy and this new force.
And for this reason, he has already prepared himself to enjoy the next big show. If this force can give him more surprises, he doesn't mind extending an olive branch to it.
But he did not expect that a force that suddenly emerged would accomplish a feat that he had never done before.
At this moment, his heart, which had originally been prepared to retire for ten years, endure humiliation and research powerful mutant creatures in order to retaliate against the Navy and the World Government, was now slightly restless.
After a moment's silence, the Golden Lion suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahahahaha, even Santa Maria Joa has been destroyed. I guess the ocean will be even more interesting next!”
"In that case, there is no need to hide any longer. It is time to announce to the world that I, the Golden Lion Shiki, have returned to the sea!"
At this moment, the Golden Lion was in full force, and an aura unique to the great pirates of the old times spread out.
"Admiral, where are we going now?" The pirate officer felt the aura of his captain and his face couldn't help but flush.
The Golden Lion suddenly stopped laughing, narrowed his eyes slightly, and put his cigars into the ashtray beside him.
"Of course I'm going to meet this ambitious force. I'm looking forward to the outstanding juniors proving themselves with their strength!"
"Yes! Admiral!" His subordinates stood at attention excitedly. Their captain has retired in these years, and he hasn't experienced a carefree and unrestrained life for a long time.
Just when the Golden Lion was preparing to march into the new world again.
The entire ocean began to fall into chaos, Santa Maria Joa was destroyed, the world government was overwhelmed, and the shackles of the entire world were broken before a new order was established.
The whole sea was filled with a sense of recklessness. Countless forces began to fight constantly. More heroes who yearned for freedom and thought they had some strength went to sea and poured into this turbulent era.
With the continuous influx of new members, the confrontation between pirates and navy becomes more and more fierce, and the two concepts of justice and freedom are constantly intertwined.
The Great Pirate Era started with Roger's words, "You want my treasure..." and has reached its peak in just a few years with the destruction of Santa Marie Joa.
At a coast in Santa Marie Joa, a large ship was parked there, and Nagato slowly flew to the ship.
Under the gaze of everyone in Xiao, he landed gently on the deck.
"Mission accomplished, time to go back!"
"Yes! Boss!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Meanwhile, Morganus, who was standing behind the Akatsuki group, had not yet recovered from the shock.
After a while, Morganse turned his gaze from the destroyed Saint Mariejoie in the distance to Nagato.
"Mr. Nagato, are you sure you are still a human? Are you the real god?"
It is no wonder that Morgans asked this question, because the power displayed by Nagato has far exceeded the definition of human beings.
Destroying the entire Santa Marie Joa with one strike, this is so dreamy no matter how you look at it.
If the world government was so easy to destroy, it would not have existed for eight hundred years.
"God!"
Nagato looked towards the end of the sea.
"I used to think so, but later I realized that the so-called God is just a respectful title given to the powerful, and in essence I still have human emotions!"
“I was once just an ordinary person walking on a dark and endless road.
My heart is not as strong as God’s. I get confused and can be manipulated like a pawn by more powerful people without knowing it.
So Mr. Morgans, I am just an ordinary human being like you!"
