Chapter 441 - 443 (1/2)
In the luxurious hall, on the top floor of the central ship of the flying fleet, the Golden Lion Shiki was sitting on a mahogany chair.
To his left and right, several dozen pirates were kneeling in two rows in front of him.
Most of these pirates wore captain's hats.
They were all famous East Blue pirates who had joined the Flying Pirates, afraid of the glory and power of the Golden Lion.
”Today, the number of our fleet can increase to twenty thousand pirates, no one in East Blue will be able to resist such a force, but you know...I have never sought to rule in East Blue.”
The Golden Lion, who was holding a cigar in his teeth, grinned and said imperiously: ”I just wanted East Blue to know...the true terror of pirates! The whole world will be our stage!!”
”Oooooh!!!”
Numerous captains raised their wine glasses and shouted loudly.
The Golden Lion also raised a glass of wine.
But when Shiki was about to empty it, a pirate suddenly ran into the spacious room and made a report: ”Captain! We lost contact with one of our teams...”
”What exactly happened?”
The Golden Lion stopped his hand and frowned at the reported pirate, the glass of wine froze a few centimeters from his mouth.
The pirate replied, ” According to the last report, they were killed by people on one of the islands.”
Rage flashed in the Golden Lion's eyes, and his voice became extremely cold: ”Someone in East Blue still dared to rebel against us?! It seems that they have not learned enough about the horror of pirates!!”
”Where is this island located?!”
The Golden Lion emptied his glass of wine in one fell swoop and said bloodthirstingly: ”I command you...let it disappear!!”
The other pirate immediately replied: ”Reporting to the captain, this island is directly under our fleet.”
”Just fine.”
The Golden Lion grinned.
...
Zoro slowly raised his head, looking at the huge fleet of Flying Pirates that eclipsed the entire sky on the horizon.
A cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The face of Koshiro, who was standing nearby, became very gloomy: ”We were late...”
There was no mistaking it...
These are Flying Pirates!
They tried to evacuate all the inhabitants of the island as soon as possible, but they were still one step too late.
Even if Quina hadn't run inland after these strangers, they still wouldn't have been able to avoid the pirates.
”Father!”
Quina appeared on the shore and exclaimed anxiously, running up to her father.
From behind the sides of these ships, human figures leaned out and threw down long ropes, and then numerous pirates began to quickly descend along these ropes.
Pooh! Pooh! Pooh!!
Several hundred pirates jumped down to the edge of the island's shore, accompanied by many splashes, and immediately rushed forward.
”Quina, Zoro, you must immediately hide somewhere on the island!”
Koshiro sighed heavily, looking at this scene, and then looked at Zoro and Quina with extreme seriousness.
Quina gritted her teeth, looking at the hundreds of pirates approaching quickly, and tightly gripped the hilt of the Wado Ichimonji: ”I refuse!”
Although they will indeed have a chance of survival if they hide on the island, but this chance is minimal, because the other side is too numerous.
Since the chances are too small, it's better to stay here and join the battle with the pirates side by side with my father!
”Me too...”
