Chapter 43: A Familiar World

"Ferdin, a familiar breath..."

When Dover crossed the rift in time and space and landed on an island, the whole person couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath.

Although it was no different from the previous world, Dover instinctively sensed the existence of his creation: yes, Rosie's black feather coat!

"That's nice, is that what it's like to 'go home'?"

This world is Dover's 'home', because there is his Don Quixote family, and there is Rosie... I don't know what the outcome of their battle with Yin Mu was? While thinking so, Dover let go of his sights and smells, and although he was able to cross the sea, it was easy to cover an island.

This is?

brush

With a flash of his pink feather coat, Dover appeared in one of the island's woods, clutching a small sky-blue figure in his hand.

"Oh? Isn't this Vika? ”

Micro Ka, one of the scouts of the Dongta Clan, is the blue-haired little girl, who is actually in her 20s, and her small fist is cracking... A sucker.

"Ahhh

···

Sure enough, it's familiar with the stupid little people, but-

Seeing and hearing the domineering scattering in all directions, the young Dover in a suit and tie and a sunglasses coat frowned.

Something is wrong, this is not the small island of Grimbit next to Dressrosa, but an 'empty island' floating in the air!

That's right, Dover's sight and hearing spread out domineeringly, and he clearly felt that there was no sea water around this island, and there were more than a dozen islands that were also floating next to it, different in spring, summer, autumn and winter, forming a kingdom in the air.

"This unique landform..."

"Let go of the old man, Doflamingo!"

Just as Dover frowned and thought, a familiar domineering old voice came, causing Dover, who had already sensed the other party, to turn around and speak.

"It's you, Kim... Golden Lion? ”

What can make Dover, who has seen two worlds, stunned for a moment is because of the familiar and unfamiliar figure that came at a gallop.

The reason why I said familiar was because the other party had long golden hair scattered behind him, like a lion's mane. Wearing a bathrobe, a golden striped coat, and holding two large knives 'Sakura Ten' and 'Deadwood', he looks domineering and arrogant.

And the strange... It's because the golden lion, which was once three meters tall, now looks like it's only 30 centimeters, and in this world where it's a few meters tall at every turn, it's just a doll. However, compared to the Dongta people behind him, it can be regarded as 'mighty and majestic'.

"Hey, what's that look at you?!"

The golden lion who was stung by the eyes behind Dover's sunglasses was furious, but unfortunately his figure was really not intimidating, and even the weapon in his hand was like a knife and fork toy.

"Lion Cut!"

But with a wave of the golden lion's hand, the skyrocketing light rushed past Dover, severing a small island suspended in the air behind him with a thud.

"Don't think that when I'm smaller, I'm going to be weaker. Those who dare to underestimate me have only one way to die. ”

"Lord Skee, don't be angry."

"Patriarch, that's the soul of the Red King of the Don Quixote family~~"

Facing the dissuasion of the villains behind him, the golden lion let out a long sigh and put his twin knives back into his sheaths.

"Doflamingo, what happened to you?"

"Wasn't you killed by Yin Mu? I haven't heard from me for a few years, why did it suddenly appear on my territory? ”

After speaking, floating in the air, the golden lion, which was only 30 centimeters high, took out a cigar and lit it, swallowing clouds and spitting out fog with the appearance of an old man.

"As I said in advance, the Dongta clan is now my people, and I won't let them do any more day jobs for your family. I won't let out the business of artificial devil fruits! ”

??

The words of this 'small' golden lion made Dover frown again, but how to say that the golden lion is also the person rescued by Rosie from Advance City, and it is more or less a little friendly, and the top priority is to understand the situation in this world.

"Shiki, you said I disappeared for a few years?"

In Dover's senses, he had only been in the other world for a few months. How does it sound that the world has passed for a few years?

"That's right,"

"Look at you, are you just out of trouble? Come—"

The doll-sized 'Golden Lion' Shiki turned around and beckoned.

"Go to my palace and say something slowly."

————

In the center of a dozen or so suspended islands is a winter island shrouded in wind and snow.

The architectural ensemble in the center of the island is full of oriental-style pavilions and pavilions, which are majestic and elegant: in the center of the building is a wide courtyard with an intricate rockery, a bend in the hot springs, and the sound of the water.

At the same time, a large number of cherry blossoms and willows are planted in this garden, and they dance in the wind and snow.

In the hall facing the courtyard, a banquet was being held, and the golden lion sitting on the throne raised his hand and introduced:

"Hahaha~~"

"These are all the subordinates I have recruited in the past few years, although they are useless, they are also competent in running errands and waving flags."

For the words of the golden lion, the two rows of pirate captains kneeling on the left and right sides of the hall had no complaints. Although they are all 'sea pirates' with bounties of hundreds of millions, in front of the legendary pirate Golden Lion, they are no different from fledgling trainee sailors. Besides, in this chaotic era, there is a safe rear that many people dare not think of.

As for Dover, it doesn't need an introduction at all.

Hit the Red Earth Continent, set foot on the Holy Land Mary Joya, and destroyed the rule of the Celestial Dragons... Known by countless people on the sea as the twin kings of the Don Quixote family who ushered in a new era of 800 years, it can be said that there is no one in the whole world who does not know him and Rossi.

If the two of them hadn't disappeared together, the Don Quixote family would have been on top of the world long ago.

···

"Is there so much going on?"

Sitting on the throne on the right hand side of the golden lion, Dover, who listened to the golden lion's explanation, pushed his sunglasses.

According to the 'Golden Lion' Shiki, it has now been a full six years since that 'Battle of the Holy Land'.

Soon after Dover was exiled by Yin Mu's ability, Rossi was also lost to Yin Mu's spatial ability, and although the coalition forces did not fall apart on the spot, it was impossible to cooperate sincerely, and Yin Mu could only retreat in the face of the invincible.

After this battle, the strength of the Celestial Dragons was greatly damaged, and the unbreakable ruling authority of 800 years collapsed in an instant.

On top of that, the control room of the ancient weapon 'Heavenly King' was destroyed by the revolutionary army, and Yin Mu was also stabbed through the chest by Rosie, and he was injured in the 'New Holy Land' to recuperate. Coupled with the independence of the navy, the control of the world government over the sea was weakened to an all-time low.

Now on the sea, the forces of the navy, pirates, revolutionary army, and world government are intertwined, forming a fragile balance of entanglement in all directions.

And the 'Golden Lion' Shi Ji himself was made into this appearance by Yin Mu's 'space compression' and became a 30-centimeter 'artificial villain'.

The golden lion, who was lucky enough to escape with his life, ran to Dressrosa, originally to see if the powerful Don Quixote family had a way to help him recover, but who knew that Rossi and Dover were both missing, after helping the Don Quixote family resist Kaido's invasion-

"The Dontar recognized you as king, and then you took them to cultivate artificial devil fruits on the Sky Island?"

The little golden lion rolled his eyes at Dover's slightly questioning words.

"Who do you think the old man is?"

In the mouth of the golden lion, after casually killing the pirates who invaded Dressrosa and tried to plunder the 'Devil Fruit' Lilliputian, the Lilliputians regarded him as a hero, bowed his head and cried to be his little brother, so the 'Golden Lion' Shiki reluctantly agreed.

Well, in fact, it was found that Yin Mu's ability was too domineering, and the golden lion, who felt that there was no hope of recovery, had to think about his future life. At this time, the simple Lilliputians thought that he was also a Lilliputian, and with the IQ of the golden lion, he easily made the entire Dongta Ta clan kneel at his feet.

At that time, the Don Quixote family was besieged by many forces, and had no choice but to transfer the technology of the 'Artificial Devil Fruit' to the Golden Lion, so that he could help share the pressure and also give the Golden Lion the funds to make a comeback.

You must know that the losses of attacking the Red Earth Continent are not only Rossi and Dover, but also a large number of pirate captains, cadres, and low-level personnel who are cannon fodder. In order to repay Rosie's kindness, the golden lion filled in almost all of his subordinates who had just developed for a few years.

"Lord Skee, phone bug."

There was a Lilliputian warrior carrying a phone bug nearby, and the golden lion pointed to the side, and the phone bug floated in front of Dover.

"Moses Moses, this is the operator of the Don Quixote family..."

"It's me, Doflamingo."

···

The connected phone bug simulated a sluggish little girl wearing a single eye patch, followed by a crackling sound, like a frightened person falling from a chair. A few seconds later, the phone bug coughed twice:

"Sorry, please don't hang up."

"I'll report to the adults in the family right away, wait a minute!"

The little girl who receives the call calls calls herself 'Sucrose', and Dover remembers her as Monet's sister. When I was in the Baisha Orphanage, I was still a child who was being held, but I didn't expect to start working for the family.

"Dover? Dover !! ”

"Torrebol, it's me."

"Woo wow wow wow, Dover, it's great you're okay!!"

"Don't be ashamed, Torre."

There are still 'Golden Lion' Shi Ji and his people in the hall, and the big cadres of the dignified Don Quixote family are crying and crying, what kind of system is it? But—

"It's been a hard time for you."

"I'm here at Shiki and I'll be back soon. Don't worry, the family has me. Even if Rosie isn't there..."

"Wait, Dover."

"We have Rosie's intel—"

???

In an instant, the child's hole behind Dover's sunglasses shrank, and even the 'Golden Lion' Shiji next to him was surprised.

And the pirate captains in the hall who served as the background board lowered their heads to study the food in front of them, as if they had never eaten in their lives.

I didn't expect that the 'Red King' of the Don Quixote family, Doflamingo, would actually appear on the territory of the Golden Lion Boss, and there was also news of another 'Black King' Rosinandi... They're not going to be killed, are they?!

It's just that the simple little people don't know it, anyway, they just need to listen to the new patriarch 'Golden Lion' Lord Shiki.

By the way, there is also the old man sitting on the left hand side of the golden lion, 'Chopping the Wind' Horn, pouring himself a drink, and the whole person is almost integrated with the background board, fully showing his kung fu of restraining his breath.

————

And what about Rossi at this time?

The main body is still hanging in the sky, and the sight has already followed Luffy and the others-

"Run!!"

"Lu Lu Lu · Luffy, ahhhhhh ”

is fleeing in terror, paralyzed on the ground and kicking backwards, not a delicate girl, but a group of five big and three thick...

"Pirates again,"

Bang Chang,

A huge axe called 'Blood Roar' smashed onto the docks of Gaya Island, Magic Valley Town! The entire ground shook suddenly, and there were even waves of water on the surface of the sea next to it.

"Good hands and good feet, why don't you go for a serious job?"

Faced with the questioning of Nami, a real delicate girl, these big men who were paralyzed to the ground with fear trembled, snot and tears flowed down their noses.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

After Luffy and the others went to sea, they swept all the pirates all the way, and some time ago they overturned one of the Seven Martial Seas, the 'Sand Crocodile' Klockdahl. Although it was Rossi's 'substitute fight', others didn't know it. In everyone's opinion, it was this team of bounty hunters who exposed the conspiracy of the sand crocodiles and overturned the Seven Martial Seas.

With such strength, such a wrist, and so young, it is simply a monster among monsters!

Coupled with the identity of the other party's bounty hunter, how can these pirates not be afraid?

"I heard that this island is full of pirates,"

Sauron, who jumped off the deck, had an eager expression on his face,

"So, who of you is the best here?"

"There won't be that kind of person here,"

Bang

Luffy, who was the third to disembark, opened his mouth steadily, but the dock was instantly silent.

Because in Luffy's hand, he was holding a huge piece of iron with the word '10t' printed on it, and he was doing a two-handed lift.

"It's good to be young,"

Robin, an intellectual beauty leaning on the side of the boat, held her chin and smiled as she watched a group of partners who were roaring and ready to 'do justice'.

If I had met them earlier... No, I don't deserve to stand with such a bright person.

"Miss Robin, let's go down too."

Sanji, who had parked the boat, tilted his head and added.

"Regardless of the past, we have to look to the future. - Well, that's actually what Mr. Rosie said. ”
