I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Since acquiring the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, this great pirate's ability to conceal himself has greatly increased, and he often appears in various major events disguised as a cloud.

At that moment, the sky suddenly darkened.

Above the sea of ​​clouds that shrouded the earth, the outlines of floating pirate ships gradually emerged.

There were quite a few pirate ships, dozens in total, with different pirate flags flying around them. Not all of them were from the Golden Lion's Flying Pirates.

“World Destroyer Bondi Wald? Undead King Hale... Sword Hunter Mantis…” The black-haired woman recognized the figures on several pirate ships, and her expression turned serious.

Although they had heard that the Golden Lion seemed to have had secret contact with the Fifty-Six Emperors, the number of the Fifty-Six Emperors appearing here was already so large that even they were wary of them.

"Golden Lion, is this the secret you spoke of that can make people regain their youth?"

"You'd better not be lying."

On those floating pirate ships, elderly pirates with gray hair stood at the bow.

These people were almost all the fifty-six emperors of the Infinite Hell. Most of them were figures from the old era, not much younger than the Golden Lion, and had already entered old age. Like the setting sun, they seemed to still have their radiance, but in reality, they were about to set.

“Not bad.” The Golden Lion hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Save Zephyr first, then we can talk about other things."

The pirates in the sky paused, then one of them spoke up indignantly:

"Golden Lion, you're such a kind person!"

"As a pirate, he actually saved someone? And the person he saved was an old Marine? It's disgusting."

"Don't tell me you've had a change of heart and want to turn over a new leaf."

Amidst the pirates' playful banter, more floating pirate ships emerged from the sea of ​​clouds, falling from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Chapter 1236 The Rocks Pirates Resurrected?

The fifty-six emperors have long since become a figment of imagination.

Twelve years ago, some of the Fifty-Six Emperors, with the help of Tengu, formed the so-called Fifty-Six Emperors Alliance and joined forces to besiege Sigurd. However, they were completely swallowed up by a tsunami and a number of people died.

During these 12 years, the remaining fifty-six emperors also had their own experiences.

Some were recaptured and imprisoned by Admiral Higuma or other Marines, some were challenged and killed by other pirates, and some, like Whitebeard back then, died of old age due to illness.

No one can defy time, and they too are gradually growing old.

Twelve years later, those among the fifty-six emperors still active in the New World are not ordinary great pirates; they each possess their own unique skills.

Even cockroach bullies have their own unique escape techniques.

Although Hale was not considered a formidable enemy in the eyes of the Pirate Emperor at the pinnacle of the sea, he was already a legendary figure from an old era in the eyes of the world.

Everyone else has their own unique experiences.

Shiki the Golden Lion was one of the strongest and most famous prisoners in the Infinite Hell back then, and once competed with Roger for the throne, pushing the Pirate King to the brink of defeat.

Even he couldn't subdue all these seasoned and unruly pirates.

What the Golden Lion used to persuade the fifty-six emperors to unite was exactly what these old men desired most.

youth.

Therefore, although they felt instinctively uncomfortable about rescuing Zefa, they acted quickly.

Although these people were older, they were all seasoned and experienced pirates.

In the blink of an eye, massive blades of light descended from the sky, and the sounds of gunfire and fists filled the battlefield.

"Lion - Four-Sword Style - Thousand-Sword Valley!"

The golden lion hovered in mid-air, using both hands and feet, his figure spinning like a top in the air, wielding four swords in succession.

The golden, sharp sword light surged like waves, one after another, like a relentless storm.

"Momo - Hundredfold Slash!"

Wald gripped a large scythe, his dark Armament Haki swirling around him. The scythe instantly grew a hundred times larger in his hand, then slashed down from the sky.

"Fifty times speed!"

At that moment, the enormous black scythe was so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye. A sharp explosion rang out in the air, and the ground beneath their feet was cleaved open by the blow amidst the violent tremors. A large trench divided the entire battlefield in two, with the New Army soldiers and naval forces blocking their way being crushed and the battle lines brutally broken through.

As we all know, theatrical versions of Devil Fruits are often featured because they are overpowered.

The Momo-Momo Fruit grants Wald unparalleled explosive power. Once he overcomes his weaknesses in physical skills and Haki, he will become a true destroyer of the world.

Following closely behind were Hale and a host of other great pirates.

The battle between the two legions had already reached a fever pitch right from the start, catching the CP0 members somewhat off guard.

"Are these pirates really going to save me?"

Zefa frowned slightly.

Among this group of great pirates, there were some he had fought before, and even several he had personally sent to Impel Down, so he was quite familiar with them.

He knelt on the ground, panting, blood dripping from his forehead onto the ground.

To be honest, even he finds it a little funny.

The World Government considered him a pirate and dispatched a large army to ambush and kill him.

But these powerful pirates regarded him as a Marine...

"What are the Golden Lions up to?" Zephyr frowned; he no longer had the energy to think about it.

Dying in the Navy's encirclement or falling into the hands of Shiki the Golden Lion—both options sound terrible.

"Ignore Golden Lion and his men's attack for now," the black-haired CP0 woman shouted at this moment.

"Concentrate your forces and kill Zephyr first!"

"Kizaru!"

The CP0s launched an even fiercer offensive.

A barrage of bullets and sword flashes struck Zephyr, the relentless impacts knocking away his arms that were protecting his chest.

Kizaru stood calmly in the center of the battlefield, his fingertip pointing towards Zephyr, shimmering with gold.

At this moment.

The golden lion in mid-air stretched out its palm forward.

"Lion's Might - Earth Roll".

The earth beneath their feet surged and undulated like waves, overturning countless people.

The roaring earth surged and rolled erratically, and as the ground pressed against each other, a mountain shaped like a lion's head rose from the ground, continuing to twist under the power of the floating fruit.

"Earth Explosion Star".

Large and small clods of earth and stones converged toward Zefa as the golden lion clenched his fist, completely burying him within them.

Then, this enormous stone sphere, formed from the twisted mountains, rose into the air under the power of the Float-Float Fruit...

"Stop him!"

CP0 shouted loudly, and a series of attacks rained down on the giant stone sphere in the air.

However, the other great pirates also knew that this was a critical moment, and each of them used their abilities to launch a strong attack, trying their best to slow down the CP0's progress.

At this moment, Kizaru was still loading the script.

"Goodbye, sailors."

"Clouds swirling!"

Thick clouds of mist billowed from the Golden Lion's sleeves, quickly enveloping the battlefield. The sunlight was blocked, and the sky darkened, making it almost impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

In the hazy mist, the combined fleet of dozens of pirate ships and the giant stone sphere rose high again, quickly disappearing into the sky and vanishing without a trace.

Golden Lion had no intention of fighting the Navy here; his only goal was to rescue Zephyr.

Soon, a strong wind swept through, and the clouds that had covered the ground dispersed, but the Golden Lion and the others had completely disappeared.

"How terrifying~ Shiki the Golden Lion, he's as strong as a monster." At this moment, the light at Kizaru's fingertips finally went out.

His loading screen was interrupted.

“Kizaru…” The black-haired female CP0 member glanced at him, her expression slightly cold.

She didn't say anything. Although the admiral was under her command this time, he was not her subordinate after all.

Then, she turned back to look at the now empty sky, a sense of unease creeping into her heart.

Among the fifty-six emperors, many came from that old era, and many of them were from the Rocks Pirates.

This pirate crew was full of talent, producing three Yonko (Four Emperors) plus one Golden Lion, as well as countless other once-famous pirates.

They are the only pirate crew in decades to have ever threatened the World Government.

Although Roger was known as the Pirate King and reached the top of the world, he did not aim to dominate. The World Government feared them because of the information they possessed, not because of their military strength.

And now...

"The old guard from the Rocks era have united once again, and this time their leader is Shiki the Golden Lion."

"Does this mean that after Rocks' resurrection, the Rocks Pirates will also be resurrected?" She frowned.
