Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

But the golden lion easily resolved the situation...

"Hehehe, don't be so angry, I wasn't mocking you, Lingling..."

The golden lion laughed heartily and drifted away.

In her rage, Charlotte Linlin wouldn't consider their past "comradeship"...

The Golden Lion said slowly, "I never expected that such a monster would appear in this era. He is no less than the former 'Lox'."

"And the other party is so young, his potential and talent are probably even greater than 'Lox'."

"You've been targeted by that guy, Lingling!"

When they fought, the Blackwing Demon did not show such intense killing intent.

Should the two sides have a grudge?

With such a formidable enemy, Charlotte Linlin must be in for a headache...

Charlotte Linlin suppressed her raging anger and stared coldly at the Golden Lion: "Spit it out! If you're provoking me, I don't mind killing you right here, Shiki!"

The Golden Lion grinned and said, "How about we cooperate, Lingling? If we join forces, we can turn this world upside down!"

"I want revenge against the World Government and the Navy, and you want to become the Sea King. If we join forces, no one and no force can stop us!"

"Revenge against the World Government and the Navy? Come on, when did you become so naive?"

Charlotte Linlin sneered: "You haven't forgotten what happened at God Valley, have you? We both know the true nature of the World Government. What do you have to offer for revenge?"

"You used to be defeated by the Navy, but now you're not as good as you used to be..."

"Don't even mention the World Government, the Navy is not something you can handle right now... no, you can't even deal with that brat Blackwing Daemon!"

"You're just an old guy abandoned by the times!"

Even without fighting the Golden Lion, she could tell that his strength was not what it used to be.

To be honest...

The Golden Lion is the one abandoned by the times!

The other side has lost its "fangs" and its former spirit.

Whether a person has a strong will or not can be judged by their behavior and words.

The Golden Lion has lost its former spirit!

"Do you think I haven't been preparing all these years? I've spent nearly twenty years on this revenge!"

The Golden Lion spread his arms wide and laughed loudly: "No matter who it is, they will all be defeated by the power I have accumulated! The Navy or the World Government, they will all only face defeat!"

"What I lack right now is a strong partner..."

"You're not qualified to cooperate with me now. We'll talk about it again when you've found your 'fangs,' Shiki!"

Charlotte Linlin interrupted, saying dismissively, "Although I don't know what you've prepared."

"However, unless you find the legendary ancient weapon, all preparations will be useless!"

"Besides, the moment you mentioned cooperation, I already judged your preparations... to be nothing but self-righteous nonsense!"

If we are truly fully prepared, is it still necessary to join forces with others?

The Golden Lion's words alone are enough to explain a lot!

Charlotte Linlin may be a bit short-tempered, but she's not stupid at all.

Of course, the most important point is... she doesn't really take the Golden Lion seriously anymore!

This is no longer the era we once knew!

"Well, well, well, I am somewhat interested in the 'preparation' you mentioned. If it's strong enough, I wouldn't mind cooperating with you, Shiki!"

"If you're so capable, then show it to me!"

Having said that, Charlotte Linlin didn't linger and urged Zeus, the thundercloud, to leave...

"..."

Watching Charlotte Linlin leave, the Golden Lion's expression darkened like the bottom of a pot.

However, he did not chase after them.

"Abandoned by the times?"

Watching the ship sail away, the Golden Lion exhaled, a mad glint in his eyes. "Hahaha, how could I possibly be abandoned by the times!?"

"Just you wait and see, what I'm about to do is something a hundred times more sensational than Roger's!"

"My return, my revenge, will be unstoppable!"

Being belittled by others one after another completely ignited the Golden Lion's madness.

He originally intended to begin by destroying the East China Sea, demonstrating his "power of revenge" to the world government and navy, and also announcing his return...

However, after learning about the news of Rocks in this era, his plans changed somewhat—he wanted to return to the empire ahead of schedule and try to recruit Rocks!

As a result, he got a brutal beating from the other party...

If he hadn't coincidentally met Charlotte Linlin, he would likely be dead by now...

She was later belittled and ignored by Charlotte Linlin.

How could the arrogant and domineering Golden Lion tolerate being ignored like this?

"Hehehe, then let's change the plan!"

"This 'comeback' has failed..."

The golden lion clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fire: "But you better watch out, I'm not one to give up easily either!"

"Let this era...become even more insane!"

Let's make this era even crazier!

This also made his name, "Golden Lion" Shiki, and the name of Flying Leap resound throughout the sea once again!

Was he abandoned by his time?

Do not!

He will usher in a new era, the era of his golden lion!

……

Rocks returned to Broken Mountain Island.

After the previous events, the once bustling Duanshan Island has become quiet, with only a few people remaining there...

And the story spread as some people left.

Among them were people from news agencies.

It is foreseeable that what happened on Broken Mountain Island today will soon be known to the world through the newspapers...

The world's greatest swordsman has changed hands! Legendary swordsman Shi Ji, also known as Tong Aoxi, has returned!

These two events are major news, enough to make the entire ocean boil!

"Where's that old guy? Did you kill him?"

Upon seeing Rocks return, Nami asked curiously, "The guy you've been eyeing shouldn't be able to escape, right?"

Worried about Rocks?

There's no need for that.

Rocks' strength is monstrous.

All she wanted to know was whether the golden lion had died at the hands of Lox.

Rocks shook his head: "No, I just ran into Charlotte Linlin's territory and happened to run into her..."

"After fighting one match, I realized I couldn't kill them, so I came back."

"Charlotte Linlin?"

A rusty vanadium gate, several mechanical shuttles.

Could this lead to another "Emperor of the Sea"?

Broken Mountain Island is located at the border of the Red-Haired Merchant F and the Big Mom Merchant F territories, and is not far from the territory under the jurisdiction of Big Mom Merchant F...

But isn't it too much of a coincidence to run into "Auntie" Charlotte Linlin?

Robin wondered, "Could it be that Charlotte Linlin also came here for this reason?"

"Because of that Snag thing, we've also offended them."

"That's unclear..."

Lockes hadn't expected such a coincidence.

It's true what they say, nothing is more coincidental than a story...

It can only be said that the golden lion was destined to be unlucky; these kinds of things just happened to him...

"Let's cause trouble for them when we run into them again in the future..."

Rocks wasn't too concerned. The Golden Lion was a threat, but that wasn't all that great...

I reckon he couldn't even beat Yixiao.

There's no need to worry about the opponent's Float-Float Fruit ability; Issho's Gravity Fruit can counter the Float-Float Fruit in certain aspects...

Nami brandished her fist, her face full of anger: "Next time we meet, I'm going to electrocute them to a pulp! How dare they lay a hand on us? They're asking for trouble!"

What's the legendary Hai Mou?

Daring to provoke them is tantamount to courting death!

Moria shook her head: "But this era is getting more and more exciting; even an old monster that disappeared for nearly twenty years has reappeared..."

Robin nodded in agreement: "It must be that our captain's reputation is growing bigger and bigger, right? For many people, the name Rocks is an indelible memory..."

"Hehehehe, even the legendary Hai Ni of the past, have you driven them away? Boss is the strongest!"

"Lord Rocks will defeat all the enemies!"

"Captain Brother is the strongest!"

No matter how chaotic this era is, many members of the Blackwing Archmage Adventurer Group believe that Lox will defeat everyone and become the "god of the new era"!

Since setting sail, Rocks has never lost.

Not even once!

Lox was both amused and exasperated: "You're putting a lot of pressure on me..."

At this moment.

The Whitebeard Pirates F members have arrived here.

The white-bearded man sized up Rocks and chuckled, "Hey Rocks kid, did you take down that old man, Golden Lion?"

Rocks shook his head: "No, I ran into Charlotte Linlin. I fought her and then left. I didn't have time to deal with the Golden Lion..."

Whitebeard sensed the animosity between Rocks and Charlotte Linlin, and after a moment's thought, he remembered something from the past: "Oh, I remember now, Duke had ten years of his lifespan taken away from him once..."

Lox nodded: "Yes, it's only right that I avenge the old man."

The white-bearded man clicked his tongue: "Grumble, she's just unlucky. Who would have thought that an action she took years ago would come back to haunt her..."

"She must be feeling pretty bad right now, right? Knowing your personality... it's definitely not just about one fight..."

"Give her a good thrashing!"

Lox grinned: "That kind of injury might delay the tea party for a while. Let's collect the interest first..."

The white-bearded man paused for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled, "Luckily, I never offended that guy Duke, otherwise it would have been troublesome..."

What does it mean to have a really tough time?

Even the "Emperors of the Sea" would be wary of being targeted by a monster like Rocks...

The white-bearded man suddenly said, "So... your next target will be that old bastard Wang Zhi?"

"That old bastard not only took over Beehive Island, but he also tried to lay a hand on Duke..."
