Chapter 91: The Extort the World Order Appears Again
When he was first captured and imprisoned, Golden Lion reflected constantly: how could he not defeat Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, and why had he failed to notice the abnormalities on the ship?
Only in these past two days, especially after removing the ship's helm from his head this afternoon, did Golden Lion finally discover something was wrong.
In other places, one needs eight hours of sleep daily; on Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's ship, less than three hours is enough to fully restore one's spirit and energy.
Thinking that the other party belonged to the Lunarian race, the Godly Clan, Golden Lion immediately began to suspect: was the Donghai Dihuang blessed?
Legends of Davy Jones circulate on the seas, and naturally, there are also legends of the blessed and the cursed.
Saint Saint Saiwen smiled slightly.
"Senior Shi Ji, guess?"
Since helping Golden Lion remove the ship's helm this afternoon, Saint Saint Saiwen had noticed Golden Lion becoming eccentric, sometimes laughing foolishly alone, sometimes bowing his head in deep thought, and never uttering a single curse again.
Golden Lion snorted coldly.
"Is the contract about to begin?"
Saint Saint Saiwen kicked Elain Sheng beneath his feet.
"Yes, dawn is approaching. We must hand this piggy Celestial Dragon over to the Marines. Whether we can escape smoothly from now on depends entirely on you, Senior Shi Ji."
If Vice Captain Lei Li were here, there would be no need to worry about the coating being tampered with; unfortunately, Lei Li and Xia Qi, the couple, should still be on vacation at this moment.
Golden Lion smiled with great satisfaction.
"Jehahahaha~"
"Barzab, if you are willing to become my right-hand man, after we dominate the world, I am willing to share the realm with you equally."
Although unwilling to admit it, Golden Lion also knew clearly that Barzab's talent and bloodline were even stronger than those of Rocks and Luo Jie back in the day.
When Rocks was seventeen, he did not do what Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen did: breach the Extort the World Order and kidnap Celestial Dragons to extort the World Government.
Such a perfect successor was actually discovered first by that fellow Luo Jie.
Luo Jie! Truly worthy of you.
"Senior Shi Ji, while it is not yet dawn and there is still some time, I will chat casually with you about some secrets, hoping they will be of help to you."
When Golden Lion heard about the grudges and conflicts between Rocks, Davy D. Jones, and Imu, a glimmer of clarity flashed in his eyes.
"No wonder Rocks, that fellow, separated from us at God Valley back then."
"It turns out Wang Zhi betrayed us."
There were few people Golden Lion admired in his life; besides Luo Jie and Whitebeard, who stood alongside him as the three legendary pirates, the other was Golden Lion's former captain—the captain of the Rocks Pirates, Rocks.
"So many years have passed in a flash."
"Those who once roamed the seas are now left with only Whitebeard and me... He has no intention of becoming the Pirate King, and is even unwilling to seek One Piece."
Saint Saint Saiwen took up the conversation.
"Perhaps for Whitebeard, the family on the Moby Dick is his One Piece..."
Golden Lion did not speak again, but lowered his head to look at his empty legs, wondering what he was thinking.
Saint Saint Saiwen opened the cell door, took out a set of new clothes and the key to the Sea Prism Stone handcuffs, placing them together, and left the pair of prosthetic limbs behind.
"Dawn has broken."
"Senior Shi Ji, I will go act out this scene with the Marines. The vessels required to float and leap over the Red Line are this ship and the giant yacht next door."
"Remember to stay as far away from the Holy Land Mary Geoise as possible; there is a formidable figure inside."
Golden Lion called out to stop Saint Saint Saiwen from leaving.
"Who is on the Marine side?"
"Garp, Sakazuki, Borsalino, several Fleet Admirals, twenty Marine warships, and approximately twenty thousand Fleet Marines."
Saint Saint Saiwen left a sentence, then picked up the cushion Elain Sheng and returned to the deck.
At this moment, all members of the Morning Star Pirates had assembled on the deck. Saint Saint Saiwen pointed to Yuzhi Xiliu, who was wearing a military greatcoat, and introduced him to his companions.
"This is our new companion, Rain Yuzhi Xiliu."
Xiliu stepped forward. As his gaze swept over Mihawk and Master Tenghu, his eyes burned with intense desire—that was the desire to become the strongest swordsman.
After his gaze lingered for a few moments, Xiliu nodded to Xiong Sang, Jin Ni, and Tazoro.
"Everyone, a pleasure to meet you."
"A pleasure to meet you."
After the crew members got to know each other, Saint Saint Saiwen kicked Elain Sheng beneath his feet.
"We will hold a banquet after arriving in the New World. Mi-san, Mr. Tenghu, and Xiliu, you will stay behind to assist Senior Shi Ji in leaping over the Red Line."
"Xiong Sang, Jin Ni, be safe."
"I will go deliver the Celestial Dragon to them."
"Yes, Captain."
Although an agreement had been reached with Golden Lion, Saint Saint Saiwen still made full preparations to guard against Golden Lion smashing the two ships to the ground during the leap over the Red Line.
Mihawk, Tenghu, and Xiliu were sufficient to handle any sudden attack from Golden Lion, while the mobility abilities of Xiong Sang and Jin Ni were responsible for ensuring the safety of the crew.
Repairing the Donghai Dihuang only requires one hundred points; if the giant yacht breaks, so be it, as long as the crew is unharmed.
Of course, this is merely the worst-case scenario.
Given Golden Lion's current eccentric mental state, and with those indecent photos in existence, he would absolutely not unilaterally tear up the contract easily, unless Golden Lion wanted those indecent photos to become known to the world.
Saint Saint Saiwen picked up the bruised and swollen Elain Sheng and flew towards the Marine fleet.
Only after waiting specifically for Saint Saint Saiwen to leave the Donghai Dihuang did Golden Lion float out from the cabin.
"Jehahahaha~"
"The brats on Barzab's ship."
Mihawk drew the black blade Yoru from his back, Master Tenghu drew the Gambler's Fire from his sheath, and seeing this, Xiliu also drew his famous blade Lei Yu from his waist.
The legendary pirate Golden Lion, the undamaged version after pulling the ship's helm from his head and donning his prosthetic limbs, was worth such a grand formation to deal with.
Golden Lion had a cigar clenched in his mouth.
"Jehahaha~"
"Little brats, make the ship fly."
Golden Lion suddenly felt a bit jealous of Barzab; recruiting such powerful crew members after only half a year at sea made it seem like he had been wasting his time on the great seas all these years.
Luo Jie! Fate has favored you so!
On the other side, the waters of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Saint Saint Saiwen hovered in mid-air, holding Saint Elaine of the Celestial Dragons in his hand like a little chick, while below on the sea surface, the Marine Buster Order fleet stood ready for battle.
"Saxi-buri-da-na, all you Marines."
At the bow of the Dog Head warship stood the Marine Hero Garp, Marine Admiral Akainu, Marine Admiral Kizaru, and several Vice Admirals from headquarters.
"Naturally evil pirate brat." Akainu bit on a cigar, his arms already transformed into magma form.
"Release Saint Elaine immediately."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk." Saint Saint Saiwen raised his palm and slapped it against Elaine's face. "Celestial Dragon, the red dog your family raised is barking wildly; make him shut up quickly."
Saint Elaine opened his swollen mouth.
"Red dog, shut up right now!!"
Saint Elaine had only one thought in his mind: get away from this demon as soon as possible, and never leave the Holy Land of Mary Geoise again in his entire life.
It couldn't be that he was being kidnapped right in the Holy Land, could it?
Hearing the Celestial Dragon call him "red dog," Akainu turned red with rage; if not for the Five Elders repeatedly emphasizing that Saint Elaine must be rescued completely intact, he would have already blasted Barzab with a magma eruption.
Seeing this situation, Kizaru could only step forward.
Sakazuki's violent temper against Barzab's evil sense of humor; if they continued arguing, who knew what change of events would happen next.
"Barzab, the ransom you demanded has been paid in full; release Saint Elaine quickly. You must know the consequences of tearing up relations with the World Government."
Saint Saint Saiwen slapped Saint Elaine again.
"Look, how well he speaks."
Saint Elaine nodded frantically in agreement; the yellow Admiral was indeed a lucky star, a savior, a star of fortune... he would definitely find a way to make him Fleet Admiral later.
Sensing that the two ships behind him had already floated into the air, Saint Saint Saiwen threw Saint Elaine into the sea.
"Marines, catch him."
