Chapter 254: The Man with a Rudder on His Head
The island rose very quickly, and in a short while it was already higher than when Zhang Daye and his companions landed on the island.
"Send some people who can fly to see what's going on below!" After confirming that the island was flying, Zhang Da immediately thought of two possibilities. One was the strong ocean current, and the other was the man with the rudder on his head.
Either of these two would be a huge problem. The uncertainty of the ocean currents is too high. If there are no island clouds thick enough in the sky to support the island, it will fall again.
Not to mention the Golden Lion, Zhang Da also doesn't have the ability to drag people into the theater version and force them to downgrade, so who knows how strong the Golden Lion is now?
"Let's go and see what's going on." Ye Yan released several flag monsters in atomized form to float towards the edge of Crown Island. Unfortunately, Jin Erpeng, who had the fastest flying speed was still recovering and could not be relied on for the time being.
The Qilin Lion also sent out several flying animals to check in all directions.
Not long after, Ye Yan received a telepathic message from the flag monsters: "The island seems to be flying out of thin air. The most suspicious thing is that there is a person flying below. That person has long golden hair, two swords instead of feet, and a hat on his head that looks like a ship's rudder."
Ye Yan repeated what the flag monster said, and Zhang Da corrected him, "He is not wearing a hat in the shape of a ship's rudder, but a steering wheel stuck on his head."
"You know him?" Ye Yan asked, "Why did you plug in the steering wheel?"
"Of course it was not voluntary." Zhang Da also explained, "More than a decade ago, Shiki the Golden Lion and the Pirate King Roger led their respective pirate groups to fight in the Eto-Wol Sea. Shiki the Golden Lion once forced Roger's pirate group into a desperate situation, but a sudden and huge storm caused most of the Golden Lion Pirate Group's fleet to sink to the bottom of the sea. Shiki the Golden Lion himself was also seriously injured, and suffered this kind of accident."
Regarding the defeat of the Golden Lion, some people said that no matter how strong a person is, he cannot resist the power of nature. Others said that it was because the two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and they had consumed a lot of physical and mental strength, and the storm came too suddenly, so they suffered heavy losses.
"Golden Lion Shiki! Is that the Golden Lion?" Zeole turned pale with fear. The title of this great pirate was very intimidating to ordinary people like him. "Impossible? Didn't they say he was arrested? Just one week before the execution of the Pirate King!"
Because the Navy announced that Roger was arrested, Golden Lion believed that the man who could defeat him would never be caught by the Navy, so he made a scene alone in the Navy Headquarters, Marinford. Garp and Sengoku joined forces to fight him, and eventually most of Marinford was destroyed, and Golden Lion was arrested and imprisoned.
After capturing a pirate who could rival Roger, the Navy would naturally not hide the news, so most people knew about it.
Zhang Da also said: "He escaped from prison. In order to get rid of the sea stone shackles on his feet, he even cut off his own legs. He is really a ruthless person."
"How scary!" Perona held the teddy bear in one hand and Altria's arm with the other. Could she really cut off her own legs?
Brooke was holding a bitten apple in a daze: "Golden Lion Shiki... is there such a person? I think there is? It seems that he is an amazing newcomer..."
"Then how did he make this island fly?" Crow Assistant asked on behalf of the Kirin Lion and other animals.
"He is the user of the Float-Float Fruit. Anything he touches can float up and he can control it, even an island." Zhang Da also looked up at the sky and could vaguely see a dozen huge black shadows above. He added, "Even a dozen islands."
The others followed Zhang Da and raised their heads: "This... is too exaggerated!"
Yes, it's too exaggerated. He can control more than a dozen islands with a wave of his hand. They can rise or fall at will. It's simply the power of a natural disaster.
"Why would such a big shot set his sights on this island? Is it also because of the legend of the treasure that can make a person a king?" This was the only reason Zeole could think of.
Zhang Da also glanced at the strange animals that were panicking around the Qilin Lion: "Maybe it's because of these rare animals."
He remembered that Golden Lion had spent nearly twenty years conducting a research to make animals powerful and brutal, with the goal of releasing these animals into the East China Sea to destroy the stain in Roger's life.
Golden Lion thought it was an insult to the Pirate King to be executed in the weakest sea, so he must destroy it.
If Zhang Da could understand Golden Lion's feelings for Roger, then he couldn't understand why it took twenty years to conduct such an experiment. It would be faster to use his ability to make islands float up and then smash them down.
Is it because doing so would make too much noise and could easily be discovered by the navy?
"So what should we do now?" Zeole asked the same question that the animals wanted to ask.
When the animals heard that they came for them, they became even more frightened. A man who could control so many islands was definitely not someone they could deal with, so they could only place their hopes on their benefactors. Their benefactors must be very powerful, right?
Zhang Da also said: "What else can we do? Of course, those who can fly should leave as soon as possible, and those who can't fly should find a way to leave. Then we will hurry up and make a large parachute and escape by boat."
“Eh???” Zeole leaned back with his mouth wide open and eyes bulging. He didn’t expect to get such a reply.
The animals had the same movements and expressions as him, and Tom even mixed in.
Zeole finally calmed down and asked, "Aren't you going to fight?"
"There's no point in fighting him." Zhang Da also saw that his companions were also confused, so he explained, "If we lose, we will die, of course. If we win, you'll be in trouble. The power of the Float-Float Fruit will get out of control, and more than a dozen islands will all fall down. You'll die an ugly death. And if there are other islands below, it will affect other people as well."
"I agree with Mr. Ye's decision. It would be wisest not to provoke him before we can find a way to land on these islands safely." When making some important decisions, Ye Yan was calm and almost inhuman. "The best option is to escape as soon as possible before their people arrive. We can choose a new habitat, but if we lose our lives, we will lose everything."
The more the animals listened, the more desperate they became, especially the Kirin Lion. As the king of animals on the island, it was initially unable to protect the animals. Finally someone helped them defeat the invaders, but now they were about to lose the entire Crown Island.
Zeole couldn't bear to see the animals like this. It was too difficult for them to find a suitable habitat again. Who knew how many would die in the process? And who knew how many would die because they couldn't adapt to the new environment. He asked for help, "Is there no way to take back this island?"
