After Edith's story, Loya understands how much it costs her to become a Guardian. And the most painful thing is that these costs are not what he is willing to pay, and if he wants to pay, he can pay.

Because of the constraints of the Illusion Nightmare, even if he wanted to return things to the Illusion Realm, it would be difficult for him to reach the sky!

But at least, he already has a certain amount of strength, which lays a good foundation for him to become a Guardian. The rest is up to him to grasp it.

Sending Loya away, Edith sat quietly in the void, silent.

Seeing this, the golden dragon sighed faintly: "Didn't you tell him about you, Ivy......"

Faced with the dragon's inquiry, Edith ...... No, Ivy looked up at where Loya had disappeared, and a pretty face with a smile flashed in the void.

"I thought I had forgotten that name...... But no......" said Ivy, "he'll know all this one day, but it's too early." Telling him too early will only lead to futile trouble. ”

“emmmm...... This is the legendary ...... Maternal love? ”

For this answer, the golden dragon suddenly said on a whim.

And then......

This golden dragon entrenched in the void, with a length of thousands of kilometers, and can eat a planet as a coffee bean, was frozen in an instant at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Next time you dare to talk nonsense, this king will not be spared!"

With that, Ivy snorted and disappeared in place. Look at the direction of the disappearance, it is the One Piece world that Loya left.

......

Consciousness had returned to his body, and Loya could even hear the crashing of the waves in his ears and smell the scent of earth from the tip of his nose.

However, he could not wake up yet.

The transformation of the body into a dragon makes it impossible to turn back into a human again, which is born from his cognition, and the characteristics that a dragon slayer wizard should have. Now that he has returned to the One Piece world between dreams and dreams, the moment when he exists and does not exist in this world is the only chance for him to revise this cognition again.

Blocking out the perception of the body, Luo Ya put his consciousness in his body, so that the body of this giant dragon was clearly reflected in his mind.

What a beautiful creature!

Even if this is herself, Luo Ya can't help but sigh with such emotion. The large but vigorous body, covered with pale blue scales, radiated a hazy light in the sunlight. A trace of mist from the cold drifted through the air, slowly coiling around the body, making the dragon appear more mysterious and beautiful.

And not only is it beautiful, the dragon, but also his domineering position as an apex predator!

Under this beauty, the sharp dragon claws can cut through the hard steel with a slight stroke. With its large knife-like teeth and strong jaws, it is capable of tearing through the shell of any prey. The hideous corners, strong limbs, and sharp tail hammer all associate this beautiful creature with death.

But......

This is not what he wants to be!

Airplanes!

In the midst of the spiritual vibration, an illusory figure stood in front of the sleeping dragon. It can be seen from the windless and automatic cloak of justice behind it that this figure is Luo Ya.

Quietly looking at the terrifying beast in front of him, Loya raised his hand and pressed it on the dragon's jaw. His height can only be stroked in this position.

Feel the familiar fluctuations coming from the palm of your hand, cold, dead silent, but full of energy!

Luo Ya smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Come back......"

Airplanes!

Along with Loya's words, a glimmer of light appeared in his palm. The light was faint, but it exuded a throbbing coercion. Shimmer slowly crept up the dragon, and soon, it was crawling all over his body.

At this moment, a faint cracking sound appeared all around, as if the mirror had been broken, and cracks suddenly appeared around it. But the cracks weren't pitch black, on the contrary, a blinding light was pouring out from inside.

And then......

Boom...... Click!

The mirror, broken!

......

Far away from Loya's defensive line, the pheasant beat Hatcher and walked to the building in the center. Around the building, an elite navy who had experienced the baptism of war held a gun and carefully inspected every piece of land.

"Yellow Ape, I'm here for a shift change!"

In the distance, he heard the pheasant's shout, and the yellow ape pushed open the window and poked his head out of the window with a newspaper: "Ah, pheasant, why did you come so early today?" ”

In the past year, which time has the pheasant not pinched the time and came over at the last second? Unexpectedly, not only did it not have today, but it was even half an hour earlier, and the yellow ape was suddenly surprised.

Shout!

Seeing the window opened by the yellow ape, the pheasant flashed directly into the office from the window with a moon step. Then he expertly took out the paper cup and poured himself a warm cup of hot coffee.

"The marshal of the Warring States period was called away by the five old stars again...... I guess what's the trouble when I come back! Out of sight and out of mind, I think it's better to come over early for a shift change. ”

While drinking coffee, the pheasant looked out the window. In the distance, as far as the eye can see, a pale blue is clearly visible.

"How's Loya doing? Still not awake? ”

"Uh-huh, it's still the same."

The yellow ape pushed the sunglasses on his glasses, and looked at him squinting at the newspaper like a retired old cadre: "It used to be said that people are greedy for sleep, that is, they sleep like dead pigs, but now this sentence can be completely changed, and it becomes the same as sleeping like a dragon!" ”

"A year! Without eating or drinking, he slept for a year! ”

The yellow ape said in a sighing tone: "No wonder the legendary dragons have a long lifespan, just his way of sleeping, it's strange that he doesn't live long!" ”

It's been a year......

The pheasant took the coffee and sighed silently.

From the moment he saw it when he changed shifts that day, Loya maintained that posture and slept quietly for a year. No matter what happened in the outside world, he was so quietly entrenched there, not speaking, not eating or drinking, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

But the truth is clearly impossible......

The friction between the five old stars and the Antonio family is getting stronger and stronger, although ordinary people don't feel it, and they are still busy for three meals a day, wives and children, but they all know that war may be inevitable.

And this time, I'm afraid it will be a terrible war that will spread all over the world!

And being at the center of the war, or even the reason, is this dragon in their navy.

Whoever you are, you want to get this powerful force. You must know that the name of the Blood Earl is even more terrifying than outsiders imagine. Steelbone, who had personally experienced that time, had explained to them that the Blood Earl was the only one who gave birth to an existence that made him unable to resist the thoughts.

Loya, who can easily kill the Blood Earl, is definitely the key to deciding the trend of this war!

Therefore, the Warring States was called over by the world government again and again, and the reason does not need to be mentioned, it is undoubtedly that he is asked to take sides.

Judging from the fact that the Warring States became a marshal, if it was an ordinary event, he would definitely continue to be loyal to the world government and the five old stars. Just like the death of Ace and the O'Hara incident in the original book, it was not enough to shake his loyalty.

But now it is different, there is no doubt that Loya is absolutely loyal to the navy, so his side will completely upset the balance.

Now the war has not broken out because the two sides are afraid of each other and dare not touch the navy, and they maintain a delicate balance. And once the Warring States take sides, the war will break out in an instant, and there will be no room for anything.

Thinking of these headaches, the pheasant continued to sigh.

"How long are you going to sleep, Loya? It's time to wake up. ”

As soon as the words fell, a terrifying coercion suddenly swept out, surging and enveloping the entire Marinfodo, as if the actual wind pressure spread out, uprooting the surrounding thick trees! Those well-trained soldiers were instantly unconscious under this terrifying coercion, and only some powerful individuals could barely stay awake.

The huge Marin Fodo fell silent at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The yellow ape's hand holding the newspaper shook slightly, listening to the sound of the soldiers falling to the ground in his ears, and looking at the pheasant with strange eyes.

"Thank you, Pheasant."

The pheasant's face turned dark, and it took a long time to squeeze a word out of between his teeth.

“...... Get lost! ”
