Chapter 334
But what everyone can be certain of is that once a new setting appears, it proves to be very important.
【The Three Great Legends!】
During the most prosperous period of the Jianghu. At that time, there were no Four Absolutes, no Seven Martial Sons.
The three people with the greatest reputation in the entire Jianghu were known as the Three Great Legends.
This setting immediately captured everyone's attention.
They were truly very curious about the events of Roger's era.
【The Three Great Legends】
【Whitebeard】
【Wang Roger】
【Golden Lion】
As expected, they were all familiar faces, except for the last one.
Seeing this list, everyone understood the weight of these three legends.
One was the strongest man in the world, the other was the Martial Arts Alliance Leader who unified the Jianghu.
So who exactly is this Golden Lion to be mentioned in the same breath as these two?
Fortunately, Lin Yi immediately provided a simple explanation.
【Golden Lion】
One of the most prestigious Jianghu knights of that year. Known alongside Whitebeard and Wang Roger as the Three Great Legends of the Jianghu.
He was also an overlord who dominated a region of the Jianghu.
In his youth, he once engaged in a protracted, long-lasting war with Wang Roger across the Jianghu, with no clear victor.
But at the same time, he also developed a sense of mutual appreciation with Wang Roger.
After Wang Roger turned himself in, the imperial court issued a statement. They claimed that the court's forces had captured Wang Roger, omitting the part about him turning himself in.
Upon hearing this, Golden Lion was furious. He felt that a man like Roger could not possibly be captured by the imperial court.
Consumed by rage, he broke into the Forbidden City single-handedly.
With his own strength, he challenged the entire garrison of the Forbidden City.
After destroying more than half of the Forbidden City, he was defeated by the combined efforts of Garp and the War Buddha.
He was imprisoned in the Imperial Grand Dungeon.
Finally, he broke out of the Imperial Grand Dungeon alone, and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day.
With the announcement of Golden Lion's experience, a sensation of "as expected" immediately erupted at the scene.
Looking at it now, many of the previous plot holes could be filled.
【So the legend of the Imperial Grand Dungeon wasn't fake; someone really did break out of prison alone!】
【Was it being foreshadowed since that time? What profound writing skill!】
【This Golden Lion is at least on the same level as Roger, after all, their war back then had no victor!】
【The weight of this is unquestionable, and this Golden Lion is truly a man of his word!】
【How did they develop feelings while fighting? Could he be secretly in love with Wang Roger!】
【Can you just die? How disgusting!】
【How can this even be turned into a BL trope?】
【He probably couldn't believe that an opponent equal to him was captured, but breaking into the Forbidden City alone, that behavior is indeed a bit reckless!】
【This is equivalent to one person challenging the entire garrison of the Forbidden City; this weight is much stronger than Whitebeard's, and he even destroyed half the Forbidden City!】
【Now Whitebeard is old, the Golden Lion of that year should have still been in his prime, so can I prove that if Whitebeard were in his prime, he could indeed challenge more than half of the Forbidden City!】
【Plus having so many subordinates, maybe he really could win!】
【Are you only reading half of the introduction? You don't mention a word about him being defeated!】
【This also indirectly confirms Garp's strength; Garp and the War Buddha joined forces to directly lock this legend in prison!】
【To be honest, there's no weight to a 2-on-1, what's there to brag about!】
【Even if it was 2-on-1, I think Garp's strength should be about the same as theirs, otherwise they shouldn't have been able to take him down!】
Regarding Garp's combat power, everyone lacks a clear definition, because his battle records seem to exist only in the accounts of others.
And he is old now, so everyone is very suspicious of his state, wondering if it has declined as much as Whitebeard's.
With this interlude about Golden Lion, Garp's weight has risen slightly, because in his memories, he was full of spirit when he fought Golden Lion.
How strong Garp is, perhaps only the Whitebeard before him knows.
But at such a critical moment, he absolutely cannot affect his own army's morale.
He brandished his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, pointing the single blade directly at Garp, who was sitting on the high platform. He shouted loudly:
"Don't be intimidated by this old man's reputation; he's just a decrepit old soldier!"
【Wow, Whitebeard actually has such a stubborn side, I just saw it...】
【His body is already exhausted, but his mouth is still stubborn...】
【Old Soldier King Garp, hmm, after this battle, he can go open an old soldier barbecue!】
【What are you being sarcastic about? What else can he say at this time? Should he say something that affects his own army's morale?】
【Exactly, they are already at a disadvantage, if they praise the opponent now, then should they even fight?】
Whitebeard had no choice at this moment, and he didn't have many opportunities to talk trash either.
This kid, Sasji, had basically done all the work of those two slackers, and doubled it.
Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, he really didn't give Whitebeard a moment to breathe.
Honestly, he knew Whitebeard's strength very well, but he also had his own advantage, which was that he was in his prime.
He absolutely could not give this old man a moment to breathe.
Powerful magma surged forward continuously. Although it didn't cause much damage, it forced Whitebeard to retreat step by step.
Sasji's strategy was very clear: keep this rhythm until his wounds flared up again.
So the strategy was slightly shameful.
But on the battlefield, who cares about that?
And at this time, the knights of the New World also discovered the weaknesses of the war machines.
After gradually adapting to the rhythm of these iron lumps, they began to organize effective counterattacks.
Their way of finding weaknesses was even faster than the Straw Hat group.
It can only be said that those who can enter the New World are not ordinary people.
At this moment, Wang Luffy had completely gone offline; perhaps he was not the protagonist in this chapter.
But this is also the charm of this work; everyone can jump out to be the protagonist.
The protagonist has been offline for so long, yet the audience has no reaction at all.
At this moment, he is very safe. Not only are there guards sent by Whitebeard by his side, but Ivan has also arrived.
On the battlefield, besides Fatty, the one who cares most about Luffy is probably Ivan.
Of course, this refers to those in the same camp. Those in the hostile camp are not counted for now.
The old eunuch is very worried now; if this Young Master dies, how can he answer to his good brother?
However, what this Young Master is best at is truly courting death.
"Ivan, help me one more time!"
Wang Luffy tremblingly reached out a hand and grabbed Ivan's leg.
Ivan immediately put on a mask of pain; I knew it, this Young Master is best at courting death.
"This is non-negotiable, your body has reached its limit!"
He knew very well what the other party meant; he did have the ability to make the other party briefly recover his combat power, but that would overdraw his life.
If the previous overdraft was to save his life, then there was no choice, but now the overdraft was completely unnecessary.
Now he already knew that Ace was not Long's son.
Wang Luffy and he were just sworn brothers.
Then saving Ace was not that necessary now; he only cared about whether Luffy could survive.
And the most important point is. Even if Wang Luffy makes a great sacrifice, it actually won't have any impact on the entire battle situation.
Even if he recovers to his peak state now, what can he do?
If it weren't for certain reasons, he would probably have died several times already.
It was hard enough to get this kid to calm down, Ivan absolutely could not let him take risks again.
