Chapter 380 - 382 (1/2)
High up in the sky, there were many islands, large and small, floating in the middle of the clouds.
It was both a stunning and shocking landscape.
On one of the big islands.
”Captain! Captain!!»
Confused and agitated, the pirate burst into the building, ran down a narrow corridor, and entered a small courtyard.
In a small courtyard, there was a figure with long golden hair and half of the steering wheel sticking out of its head, and in place of the legs that had been cut off at the knee, there were two sharpest blades.
He was one of the three legendary pirates of the past era, standing on a par with Belous and Roger.
He once single-handedly invaded the Marine Patrol headquarters and destroyed half of Marinford..
Shiki's Golden Lion!
”Why panic so much...»
”Is there a storm coming?»
Shiki, who had just puffed on a large cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke and frowned at the panicked subordinate.
He is most afraid of storms, and to be more precise, his devil fruit ability is most afraid of them.
All this is due to the fact that the wind can affect its ability to hover.
The subordinate took a deep breath.
His eyes were still filled with shock, and his voice was trembling, ” No...not a storm...peace...World Government...No, the Holy Land of Marijoa...it was destroyed!!»
«...»
The Golden Lion froze in shock.
As the man who had destroyed half of Marinford in the past and tried to team up with Roger to rule the entire world, the Golden Lion certainly wasn't afraid of the World Government.
In fact, Shiki was sure that if Roger, who had a lot of information about Ancient Weapons, joined him and helped him get one of them, they could dominate the world.
But unfortunately, the negotiations with Roger were unsuccessful, and Shiki himself suffered a crushing defeat.
His strength, or the strength of Roger's Pirates at the time, was at best enough to resist the Sea Watch, and fighting the World Government was out of the question unless they joined forces and obtained Ancient Weapons.
But after Roger died, and he ' retreated' for at least ten years, to build up their strength, someone really destroyed the Holy Land of Marijoa!!
”Did Whitebeard do it? Although his strength is beyond doubt, but I don't think he's capable of anything like that...»
Shiki whispered thoughtfully.
After Roger died, and he lost his legs, there was only one legend left on the expanse of the sea, dominating the new era-Belous.
But Shiki still believed that the power of Whitebeard should not be enough to destroy the Holy Land of Marijoa.
”No...not Belous...»
”The Traveler did it...previously defeated by Admiral Sengoku...»
The subordinate's voice was trembling.
Shiki narrowed his eyes: ”That kid?»
In Shiki's eyes, as a person standing on the very top of the sea, there aren't many people worth looking at.
In the days of the Pirates of the Rocks, his acknowledged opponent was Whitebeard, and someone like Big Mom and Kaido didn't deserve much attention.
Having defeated Admiral Sengoku, the Traveler bȧrėly crossed this line and earned his recognition.
”That's right...»
