Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Rumbling--

A series of loud noises followed, and the entire floating island began to tremble violently.

"Huh?! What happened? What happened?!"

Feeling the earthquake-like sensation, Luffy couldn't help but shout a few times.

The next moment, a feeling of weightlessness came over them, and everyone swayed several times.

"The island is falling downwards!!"

Sanji shouted.

Without the slightest hesitation, everyone pushed off with all their might, using Moonwalk to stabilize themselves in mid-air, watching the massive floating island plummet downwards at an ever-increasing speed.

Like a meteorite, the island crashed into the sea not far from Beehive Island.

The next second, a terrifying shockwave spread out, creating a massive tsunami hundreds of meters high that roared outwards.

A massive tsunami struck Beehive Island, washing away everything on the island.

In a short time, the entire island was submerged.

Looking down from the sky, there is no trace of Beehive Island.

After a while, as the tsunami subsided, its outline reappeared.

As for the original floating island of the Golden Lion, it has now sunk into the sea.

Above the sky, Kyle's figure slowly descended to the side of everyone, carrying the unconscious Golden Lion in one hand, while the Golden Lion's two swords had long been thrown into the system space by him.

"Kyle, who is this person you're carrying?!"

Luffy looked at the Golden Lion and asked curiously.

"Shiki the Golden Lion!"

Kyle answered calmly.

"Shiki the Golden Lion? Who's that?!"

Luffy scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

Not only Luffy, but everyone else also looked at Kyle with puzzled expressions.

Kyle was not surprised at all. The history of the Golden Lion had been deliberately erased by the Navy, so most people did not know his name.

Amidst everyone's confusion, Kyle spoke up to explain:

"Shiki the Golden Lion, a great pirate who was active on the seas a decade or two ago!"

"One of the legendary pirates, whose reputation in that era was comparable to that of the Pirate King Roger and the world's strongest man, Whitebeard!"

"After Pirate King Roger surrendered, he even went so far as to storm Marine Headquarters alone, only to be defeated by the combined efforts of the old man and Garp, and imprisoned in Impel Down!"

"Huh??!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"If that's the case, then there's no reason we haven't heard of him!"

Luo frowned slightly.

Kyle glanced at him and said in a low voice:

"What's the rush? I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"After his arrest, he was imprisoned in the sixth level of Impel Down, the Infinite Hell!"

"But Shiki is a ruthless guy. In order to escape from prison, he didn't hesitate to cut off his own legs, which were bound by seastone handcuffs, and escaped from Impel Down, a prison known as the 'Iron Wall,' by using the power of the Float-Float Fruit."

"This escape is the first ever in Impel Down's history, a complete disgrace to the Navy!"

"So, in order to protect his reputation, he tried to erase the fact that he escaped from history!"

"Therefore, it's normal that you don't know; only some older, powerful figures are quite clear about this matter!"

……

After these words were spoken, everyone showed expressions of sudden realization and murmured in unison:

"I see!"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Zoro abruptly turned his head and looked at Kael, staring intently at him, and asked:

"You just said this guy was a great pirate who was once on par with Whitebeard and Roger?!"

"So, since you defeated him, doesn't that mean you now possess the ability to defeat Whitebeard?"

Zoro's tone was filled with surprise, and his words successfully shocked everyone, who all stared at Kael with astonished looks.

Although they knew Kyle was strong, they didn't expect him to be this strong!

This is the world's number one?

Kyle couldn't help but glance at Zoro, and after a long pause, he uttered a sentence:

"With your associative abilities, it's a shame you're not writing novels!"

"I was referring to twenty-odd years ago when they were equally famous pirates, not now!"

"I'm not confident I can defeat Whitebeard!"

"The Golden Lion was indeed very strong at his peak, but the one I defeated wasn't at his peak!"

"You can see the hole in his head and his severed legs. So many years have passed; Golden Lion's strength is nowhere near what it used to be!"

"His strength is only slightly greater than Wang Zhi's, still within my capabilities!"

"I never expected that this trip to catch Wang Zhi would also result in catching a Golden Lion!"

"Come on, whatever you want, as long as it's not too outrageous, I'll go to the old man and get it for you!"

"I captured two notorious pirates from the old era; if the old man doesn't kowtow to me a few times, he's being unfilial!"

Kyle had a smile on his lips.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

They completed their mission so successfully; they'll definitely be very proud when they return to the Navy.

Moreover, their names will be reported in the news, and pirates around the world will also know about them.

Hmm! Not bad, very good!

While everyone was immersed in the excitement of their impending fame, Kyle seemed to sense something and glanced slightly downwards.

Suddenly, one head after another emerged from the sea below. Judging from their clothes, they were undoubtedly pirates under the command of the Golden Lion.

Kyle glanced at it only once before casually unleashing a bolt of lightning.

In the blink of an eye, the lightning struck the sea below.

In an instant, all the pirates stiffened like fish stunned by an electric shock.

Their eyes rolled back, white foam came out of their mouths, and then they floated on the sea like dead fish.

After doing all this, Kyle headed towards Beehive Island.

Those pirates will be packed up and taken back together when the people he summons arrive.

Kyle landed on Beehive Island, casually tossed the golden lion aside, stroked his chin, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

He always felt like he had forgotten something.

What could it be?!

Ok……

Kyle pondered for a moment, then it was as if a lightning bolt struck his mind, and his eyes widened slightly.

His figure instantly transformed into purple lightning and disappeared from the spot, arriving in front of the ruined Beehive Island prison.

After casually blasting away the rocks that had been pinning him down, he walked into the exposed hole.

The prison on Beehive Island is built underground, so battles on the ground generally don't have a significant impact on it.

But Kyle wasn't sure; he had to go check if Hariza and the others were alright.

Otherwise, it would be interesting if the king died in the end during the mission to rescue him!

Before long, Kyle spotted Hariza and his group.

Hariza was seen embracing one of his wives, surrounded by other members of the royal family.

Kyle: ...
