In addition to the naturally formed empty islands, there are also 'artificial, man-made empty islands' in this world.

The 'Flying Sky Islands' are a special archipelago formed by the Golden Lion Shiji, who used his 'fluttering ability' to raise more than a dozen islands into the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

In Rossi's opinion, this ability, if not awakening, is not far off.

Although the coordinates of the 'Flying Sky Islands' are the secret of the Golden Lion, it is not impossible to find a trace: even if they are self-sufficient, they cannot make everything by themselves.

Island of Springs,

Kingston City,

The island's abundance of water is the birthplace of a typical 'pirate', with shack-like structures beneath tall turrets and even many broken ships.

The streets are full of pirates wearing dirty turbans and carrying sailor knives at their waists, and in the stinky gutters lie on their stomachs with drunken men or corpses.

The woman standing at the mouth of the alley wore a cheap long skirt, and it only took five thousand Baileys to go to the alley 'relaxing, once.

In short, the air is filled with the smell of 'freedom'.

The Grey Fur Seal Bar is the town's biggest entertainment facility: wine, food, beauty...

The temperature inside the bar was noticeably warmer than outside, and there was a lot of noise, some people were crying, some were laughing, and there were drunk people fighting with strangers, crackling fists and kicks to the flesh.

At the same time, circles of people gather around all kinds of playing cards, dice... In front of the props, his eyes were red and he waved the Bailey in his hand to place a bet, and then, after having nothing, he jumped from the harbor with a stone tied to the break.

As the ruler of the city, 'Bloody Hand, Henry bounty 75 million Baileys!'

If it is in the first half of the great route, it can also make people call it 'sea thief,'; But in the New World, it's just a small stump that occupies a port city.

If he just finds a good backer, it will be his turn to get involved in this chaotic but increasingly profitable town.

Therefore, when mixing on the sea, the background is also very important.

"Who are you?!"

When Henry, who was on the third floor, pushed open the door to his room and found a figure sitting behind his desk, he asked as he pulled out the flintlock pistol on his waist and pointed it at the other party.

"I have a question for you, about the 'Golden Lion,'

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and Henry pulled the trigger in his mouth without hesitation.

His flintlock pistol is no ordinary thing: the gunpowder is mixed with 'explosive rocks', and the special bullet will explode on the spot when it hits the target, and the power is no less than that of a heavy artillery bombardment, and those who dare to underestimate it are already ——?!

"Calm down,"

In front of the strange black shadow, a hot bullet caught between the index and middle fingers.

Actually took his hole cards with his fingers?

"'Bloody Hand, Henry, you're the 'Golden Lion, Skee's subordinate, right?'

The mysterious black shadow flicked the buckshot in his hand, and the wall next to it exploded with a bang, and the sun shone in this room, painting the mysterious man with a layer of white gold.

"You know... Who are you?"

Sitting behind Henry's desk was a mysterious man in a white robe with a hood covering his face. Two flintlock pistols were stuck in his chest, and two sailor knives hung from his waist. ….

This special shape made Henry, who belonged to the Golden Lion Pirates, threaten to change his words and almost bite his tongue off.

"Contact Shiki,"

The white-robed assassin sitting in the chair showed only the lower half of his face,

"Let's just say that an old man has come to visit."

————

soon

A pirate ship lowered its bow from the clouds and landed in the middle of nowhere.

"Your Excellency..."

"Where are the people?"

"At my station—"

Fly lightly from a pirate ship

The old man who jumped down was wearing a long robe of the country of flowers, and the dragon and phoenix danced on his chest with the words 'One Kill a Day, a few big characters, white beard and white eyebrows fluttering, as if there was a breeze surrounding him.

"Long time no see, old Mr. Horn."

A voice rang out, causing the old man to turn to look at the vendor next to him: a white-robed and hooded assassin was sitting there, slightly raising his glass to the old man.

"Huh?"

Don't say, 'Bloody hand, Henry, even the owner of the vendor was shocked, and he didn't know when this man was sitting in front of him.

And for the 16th generation of pillars of the former 'Erbao Water Army', the characteristics of seeing and hearing colors and perceiving the emptiness in it will never be forgotten.

Not a disguise, but a real 'emptiness,'.

"Such a perfect concealment,"

The white-bearded and white-eyebrowed old man approached the white-robed and hooded assassin and bowed with his hands folded in his sleeves.

"Long time no see, Your Excellency."

After saying that, the old man who had been famous on the sea: 'Cutting the wind, Horn turned and stretched out his hand to the pirate ship docked next to him:

"Please, Skee-sama has prepared a feast."

"Let's go."

In the next moment, the sound rang out on the docked pirate ship.

The white-robed assassin was already standing on deck.

————

flying archipelago,

More than a dozen islands with different spring, summer, autumn and winter form a fantastic landscape at an altitude of 10,000 meters: agricultural bases, production factories, stocking beasts... These islands, which serve different purposes, form the base of the 'Flying Pirates'.

It is precisely because of this safe logistics base that the flying pirates have the largest scale in the sea.

On the largest main island, in the large buildings under the wind and snow, the dry mountain courtyard, the green pine and cold plum, and the luxurious banquet with big fish and meat, the wind is full of roughness, and the cold is mixed with domineering.

"Hahahahaha!

！」

Sitting on the throne at the end of the huge banquet facing the courtyard was a man in a golden-striped kimono with clogs and long golden hair covering the throne behind him, laughing proudly.

"Come, the old man will introduce you—"

As the mysterious man dressed as a white-robed hooded assassin was 'slashed', Horn brought him into the banquet, and the eyes of the neatly dressed pirate captains on both sides fell on the white-robed assassin.

"This is the strong man who rescued the old man from advancing into the city!"

'Golden Lion, Shiji has a cold-blooded and cruel personality, but he is by no means a guy who slaps a swollen face and becomes fat. Facing the white-robed assassin who came to the door, Dafang admitted that the other party was his benefactor.

Buzz~~

There was a low noise in the hall, and the pirate captains on either side of the seats were all newcomers who had only defected to the Golden Lion in the past few years. I have heard a little about the information that he came out of the city to get help from someone. ….

It's just that this person is too mysterious to even know if he exists: today I finally saw a real person!

In an instant, more than a dozen strong or weak sights and heards fell on the white-robed assassin.

？！

I can't feel anything... No wonder they dare to push the city to fish for people.

"Long time no see, Shiki."

The mysterious hooded assassin spoke, gesturing his thumb to the courtyard behind him.

"Do you want to go out with me?"

？？？

The dozen or so pirate captains in the hall were numb, their heads buzzing, and they almost thought that they had been hit by some hallucinatory fruit ability.

Name the legendary character 'Golden Lion, heads-up, this...

"Haha,"

Boom!

As the golden lion Shiki stood up, he pulled out the two large knives named "Sakura Ten" and "Deadwood" next to the throne.

"How elegant it is for old friends to meet with swords."

Brush —————

The golden light flashed, and the many pirate captains in the hall did not react

Before he could come, Sakuraju, wrapped in pitch-black lightning, crackled the mysterious white-robed assassin in half.

What?!

Just when the pirate captain, whose bounty was generally in the range of 1~200 million, was shocked, the white-robed assassin who was cracked in half slowly dissipated into the air.

"Afterimage?"

Not only was the white-robed assassin an afterimage, but in the next second, the golden lion that kept a sword and cracked out also dissipated into the air.

Rumble!

There was a flash of light outside the hall, and only a few seconds later a violent sound reached everyone's ears, proving to them that the battlefield had shifted to a distance of a kilometer.

So fast, so strong!

In the tremor of the building, these pirate captains didn't have to deliberately perceive it, and the two domineering forces rising into the sky in the distance made them stiffen, and they couldn't even raise the courage to go to the onlookers.

"Lord Horn, I..."

A clever pirate captain turned to the old man with a white beard and white eyebrows who remained in the hall for instructions.

"It doesn't matter,"

Horn, with his hands behind his back, shook his head,

"It's just a hello between friends who have been together for a long time."

Rumble!

Thundered!

Boom Boom ~~~

The violent tremors, winds, and rays of light in the distance constantly impacted the three views and flesh of the dozen or so pirate captains, making their faces tremble violently and they were quite speechless.

What is this and that's a greeting, ah!

It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a war of annihilation... Is this the world of the strong?

————

"Good swordsmanship!"

A few kilometers away, the golden lion Shi Ji, who used the 'fluttering fruit' ability to fly in the air, exclaimed.

Although he had seen the swordsmanship of this 'life-saving benefactor' when he was advancing into the city a few years ago, the other party's swordsmanship at that time was certainly sharp, but it was still a little immature.

Now he is so old that he can't find a flaw, and he is completely the style of a top swordsman.

"So, what do you want to say to the old man?"

The golden lion floating in the air had long seen that the mysterious white-robed assassin was deliberately leading himself away from the others. There is no murderous aura in the swordsmanship, which means that it is not a trap for yourself.

Then there is the space where the other party needs to talk alone:

brush

As the white-robed assassin with the twin knives lowered his hood, the Golden Lion, Shi Ji couldn't help but shrink his hole. ….

"It's you?!"

"Looks like I don't need to introduce myself."

"Haha, the old man has guessed a lot about your identity, but I didn't expect it to be you——"

"Don Quixote Rosindi!"

Facing Rosie, who revealed his true face, the golden lion couldn't help but ask a question that he had been puzzled for several years.

"The old man should have nothing to do with the Tang Quixo family, why did you rescue the old man from the city?"

···

"What would you think if I said it was a good idea?"

"Hahaha, is it easy?"

Hearing this, Shiki shook his head amusedly, and then became serious:

"No matter what, the old man owes you a favor."

"The Golden Lion does what it says: What do you want? Money, beauties, subordinates, Devil Fruits... As long as the old man has it, he can give it to you!"

In the face of the golden lion's domineering words, Rossi sheathed the double knife used for camouflage in his hand.

Brush –

A long black and red knife was pulled out of the 'fairy tale pocket' on his waist, and it was the third generation of ghosts!

"Shiki, I want you to fight for me!"

？？？

"Imp, do you know what you're talking about?"

As Shiki's face suddenly turned cold, the light in the sky suddenly dimmed and became pitch black.

At some point, a thick layer of dense clouds gathered overhead. The clouds are like a canopy, and they are tight

Shrouded in the sky over the battlefield, blocking the sun's rays, a dragon-like cloud pillar faintly hung down in the surge!

fluttering fruit,

Not only can they float themselves, but the islands, even the clouds, the wind and snow, and even the sea will be controlled by Shiki!

To say that this fruit has not awakened, Rossi does not believe it. But none of that matters—

The three generations of Oni Toru pointed at Shiki, and Rossi looked calm.

"I know exactly what I'm talking about,"

"So let's follow the pirates' rule: use the sword to determine priorities."

···

"So, you want to emulate 'Captain Locks,'"

As the black lightning jumped above the golden lion's twin swords, the dark clouds above his head roared like the sea, and the dozen or so floating islands around him trembled and moved out of thin air, with the fearful roars of countless creatures, and the sorrowful screams of the humans living on them.

"Speaking of which, I'm surprisingly aligned with that 'Locks,' goals."

Rosie, who was holding three generations of ghosts, nodded calmly at first, and then grinned-

In an instant, Shiki, as well as the pirate captains in the largest island buildings, seemed to see a knife!

The sword was incredibly large, and its blade was as tall as a cliff that stretched across the heavens and the earth, and was as powerful as it was impenetrable in the void, and even the most majestic and precipitous peaks in nature could not be compared.

What's even more terrifying is the momentum on this giant knife: black and red rise, domineering, there is a fierce self-confidence that sweeps the country, slashes the sky, crackles the sea, and dominates the world!

Of course, what they 'saw, it was only Rossi's momentum. Ordinary people –

Although ordinary people couldn't see the giant knife, they had already passed out in the face of Rossi's domineering spirit.

"Come on, Shiki!"

Holding the three generations of ghosts at the feet of Rosie, the whole person turned into a ray of light and appeared in front of Shiji, and in the pitch-black lightning jump, the long knife had already cracked.

"Hahaha, it's good to come—"

In the face of Rosie's attack, the 'Sakura Ten' and 'Deadwood' in the hands of the golden lion fought forward one by one, and they were fearless and hard-hitting.

"Want the old man to surrender?"

Then take out your domineering spirit of swallowing the sea!.
