When death came, the golden lion could clearly feel the light in front of him gradually fading.

Eventually, he was plunged into an unstoppable darkness.

But this darkness is not eternal.

The golden lion only felt that his eyes were dark and bright, and the whole world became bright again.

The world is still the same world, the surrounding scenes and characters have not changed, the only difference is the golden lion himself:

He found that his originally condensed body had turned into a translucent form, and his whole body exuded a faint miserable white light, full of ghostly appearance.

And lying at the feet of the golden lion's soul was his own corpse.

"This!"

The golden lion fell into a deep shock, and then recognized the current situation in a flash of inspiration:

"Is this what the afterlife looks like?!"

There are indeed souls in this world, and this can be proved by the existence of soul fruits.

If there is a soul, there should naturally also be an "afterlife", and no one knows what this "afterlife" looks like.

The golden lion felt his soul body, and observed the surrounding situation, and couldn't help but say to himself:

"I didn't expect that after death, people would still stay in the original world."

"Moreover, this soul body still retains the strength of my life, and even the ability of the fluttering fruit has not disappeared."

Thinking of this, the golden lion was slightly stunned.

Then he laughed out loud again:

"Hahaha..."

"Then won't I be able to crisscross the sea after I die, and compete again with the ghosts of those old rivals?!"

"It's interesting, it's so interesting..."

The golden lion cast his blazing gaze on the long sky in the distance, and gave birth to a kind of ambition and pride out of thin air:

"Roger..."

"Your soul must be the king somewhere in the sea, right?"

"Wait for me, I won't lose again this time!"

In less than a minute, the golden lion made up all the laws of the "afterlife".

Because he was so engrossed, the golden lion even completely ignored Galen's malicious playful eyes and Hancock's stunned expression.

As for why the floating island at his feet didn't fall with his death, the golden lion didn't have time to care.

He is just concentrating on planning a great dream of dominating the "afterlife", re-confronting his old rival Roger, and ascending to the throne of the "Ghost King".

Thinking of this, the golden lion immediately activated the fluttering fruit ability, wanting to fly into the sky to explore the "new world".

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Before the golden lion could fly a few meters, a familiar voice stopped him: "Where do you want to fly?" ”

"Huh?"

The golden lion was slightly stunned, turned around and looked, and his gaze collided with Galen's gaze.

"You can see me?"

The golden lion never expected Galen to be able to talk to his ghost, and immediately asked in surprise:

"Could it be... What kind of psychic are you? ”

"Hmm..."

Galen said with some amusement:

"You guessed it right."

Then, Galen said coldly to the golden lion, "Come down." ”

The golden lion only felt stunned, so he involuntarily flew back from the sky, and then stood obediently in front of him under the manipulation of Galen's mind.

Obviously, his body was full of surging power, but the golden lion was completely unable to resist Galen's will.

"How so? What have you done to me! ”

The golden lion shouted loudly, and a burst of panic and panic had already risen in his heart.

"Better, Shiki."

Galen chuckled and said:

"From today onwards, I will be your 'master'."

"What did you say?!"

Hearing these utterly humiliating words, the golden lion's heart overflowed with anger, and even the miserable white ghostly light on his body became a little brighter.

His fluttering fruit power was unreserved, and tons of dirt and stones flew into the sky, and the entire floating island trembled.

"Mix..."

However, as soon as the golden lion cursed a word, the mighty formation died down under Galen's eyes.

He just froze in place, unable to move under Galen's control.

Seeing this scene, even Kuzan was shocked:

Judging from the performance of the golden lion just now, his soul body perfectly inherited the strong strength before his death, but he still couldn't break free from Galen's control.

Fortunately, Kuzan, who had seen Galen's experimental skills before, knew in his heart that Galen's newly summoned soul would replace the former, and only one soul could be driven at the same time, otherwise...

Kuzan didn't call the two generals to strangle Galen, so he had to consider following the general trend and jumping ship to build the "Undead Empire" with Galen.

"Shiki!"

Galen glanced at the golden lion and tried to command, "Go and carry your corpse." ”

It's a weird order.

But the ghost Golden Lion still carried out Galen's order at the first time.

After holding his body on his shoulder, which was not yet cold, the golden lion couldn't help but ask with an angry face:

"Junior, what do you want to do with my body?"

"What's this..."

With a malicious smile on his face, Galen did not shy away from explaining:

"Send it to the Navy and receive a bounty."

"What?!"

Carrying his own golden lion, his eyes were split.

"Hundreds of millions! How can it be wasted? ”

"It just so happens that the company is short of money to repair the railway, so let you give full play to your spare heat and devote yourself to the production and construction of transforming the world!"

Galen insisted on his pragmatic view, and then said to himself:

"And..."

"I see that your current soul state has even been copied with the knife under your feet and the rudder on your head."

"The two famous knives left on your corpse, 'Sakura Ten' and 'Deadwood', I guess you won't need them."

"I happen to know a promising and talented young swordsman in the East China Sea, so let's give her these two swords as gifts!"

"You're deceiving people too much!"

The golden lion was so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood, but unfortunately he had no blood to vomit in his current soul state.

"I won't let you go!"

His heart was furious, his soul body trembled violently, and the miserable white light shone brightly...

But in the end, the golden lion still stood obediently in front of Galen, like the most faithful servant.

"That's right..."

Galen had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and asked about the golden lion again:

"You used to be a powerful sea thief, you should have saved some savings for yourself, right?"

"Tell me, how much money you've saved?"

................................................................

Floating Island, the palace of the golden lion.

Although the golden lion has been on the island for a long time, he is not alone.

In addition to the biological scientist Indigo, the Golden Lion has also raised hundreds of loyal pirate minions on the island to keep the island running.

At this moment, those minions are busy raiding the house, raiding the home of their boss Golden Lion.

The treasure trove of the golden lion was looted, the palatial palace was destroyed, and all kinds of treasures such as gold, jade, and cash were piled up outside into a small mountain.

"Good!"

Galen nodded to the golden lion with satisfaction:

"With your selfless donation, our company can build another section of railway!"

The golden lion didn't speak, just put on an ugly white grimace.

As long as Galen doesn't specifically ask for it, he still has the freedom to express his negative emotions.

"Boss Skee?"

The Golden Lion's deputy, Indigo, who looked like a blue-haired clown, approached with a comical step, and boldly asked the Golden Lion, who looked like a ghost:

"Are we really going to join that Galen?"

"Also, how do you look now..."

The golden lion was silent for a while, he was in no mood to explain his embarrassing situation to his subordinates now.

Under Galen's hint on the side, he had to say with a straight face:

"Don't ask me too much, just do what I say!"

"All in all, your new boss will be Galen from now on!"

Indigo nodded tremblingly, and then looked tentatively at his new boss, Galen.

Galen also looked at Indigo with interest:

"You're the scientist who helped Shiki study the evolution of living things on this island?"

"Yes."

Indigo replied cooperatively.

Although Indigo's appearance is completely a circus clown, Galen's eyes immediately have a little more appreciation:

You can build an island like a Jurassic Park by one person...

The biologist's scientific abilities should not be underestimated, and he seems to be much more powerful than the half-scientist Kentucky under Galen's command.

And Galen's most important talent is not a powerful thug, but a brilliant scientist.

After all, science and technology are the primary productive forces, and the fists of the strong cannot change the world, but the brains of scientists can bring about changes in the whole society.

"So..."

Galen thought for a moment, then said to Indigo: "You can continue to work on the subject of biological evolution in the future!" ”

"Oh?"

Indigo was immediately in shape, and quickly found his place:

"Lord Galen, are you interested in this subject as well?"

Indigo also ignored the ugly face of the former boss next to him, the golden lion, and just introduced it to Galen as he could:

"After all these years of research, I have successfully targeted fortified more than 100 animals."

"If you apply them to war..."

"Nope."

Galen shook his head, and said with a look of disgust:

"Don't study those monsters that don't work."

"You reactionary intellectuals know all day long that you have wasted such advanced productive forces by fighting and killing."

"How else can we create a harmonious sea and enter a well-off society?"

"Such a good technology should be widely used in the production and construction in full swing!"

"That..."

Indigo asked, somewhat puzzled, "Then what do you want me to study?" ”

"I do have an idea."

Galen organized the language for a moment, and then said earnestly:

"Although there are many sea beasts and mountain monsters in this world, only a few powerful people can hunt them."

"For the majority of ordinary people, food shortages and malnutrition are still a very serious problem, and it can be said that it is not uncommon for kingdoms to be starved on the sea."

"I see that the animals on the island are all fat and strong, and they are extraordinary, so..."

"You should first study a 'Fat Pig Race Elephant'..."
