Chapter 966: The Legendary Man
Half an hour later.
"I was wrong! And I was so wrong!"
Luo's face flushed red, and he was filled with extreme shame and anger. He felt as if he had been deceived by the world and regretted his own stupidity. Bucky in front of him was so spiritless and drinking and enjoying himself like an idiot. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to use Ghost Cry to carve a Polar Submersible on the deck.
"How can this guy be a hidden master? He is just a rookie!"
"Although the ability of the Split Fruit is indeed very restraining for me as a swordsman, it also has a certain immunity to the Operation Fruit..."
"Really? How can the restraining effect between devil fruits be so outrageous?!"
After complaining for a while alone where no one could see him, Luo sorted out his thoughts and expression, walked back to the banquet, and prepared to say goodbye.
"That's enough for the greetings. I should be leaving soon. Thank you for your hospitality today, Boss Buggy!"
Bucky was drunk and staggered forward to hug Law's shoulders. He spoke with a smell of alcohol: "Huh?! You're leaving now? The party isn't over yet !"
Please! We have achieved our goal, but we still got an extremely disappointing result. Who would still be in the mood to hold a party here? !
Luo complained silently in his heart, with an awkward but polite smile on his face: "Let's wait for the next time for the banquet! My crew members may not know what they will do if they see that I haven't returned for such a long time..."
Bucky was unusually hospitable after drinking: "Why not invite them over to have a party together? Anyway, you just said that there are only three crew members on your ship, right?"
I didn't expect that the head of Buggy would be so generous and enthusiastic? It seems that you can't judge a person by his appearance... A guy who can do such a thing is not completely without merit!
Just as Luo was about to agree and make friends with this person, an arm suddenly passed between the two of them.
The two men stared blankly at the arm that appeared from nowhere. They looked in the direction it was extending and found that the hand reached the mast and was wrapped around it several times.
"Hmm? This is..." ×2
Before they could utter the word "what", they felt a huge force coming from behind and hitting them hard!
Boom boom! ! …
The two men were knocked away by the huge force and rolled seven or eight times on the deck until they hit the side of the ship and stopped.
"Enemy attack?!"
Luo immediately rolled over and got up, quickly clenched the Ghost Cry in his hand, turned his head and looked towards the place where he had just stood, but found that there was no one there, even his hand was gone.
Then, he heard the sound of unbridled eating from the side, and heard a sentence that showed that this person was heartless: "That's too much, Bucky! You held a party and didn't even invite me?!"
Luo stood there in a daze, his brain was confused for several seconds, and finally realized who was in front of him: "You are... the leader of the Straw Hat?"
Oh yeah, I saw his boat nearby before, and it seemed to be with Boss Buggy? ?
"Asshole Straw Hat!! What are you doing on my ship?!"
After Buggy stood up, he yelled, "Don't just go to someone else's boat to eat casually!!"
Luffy bit into the barbecue in his hand and said incoherently: "Sorry, I have finished eating all the food on our ship, so now I can only come to your place to eat."
"How can you say such things so calmly?!"
"What does it matter? Aren't we friends ?"
Bucky burst into tears. "I don't think I'm your friend! Hurry up and get up! That's my seat!!"
"Eh? You want to eat more? Okay..." Luffy changed his seat and continued to eat heartily, commenting as he ate, "The taste of your food is completely different from what Sanji made..."
"If you are not used to it, don't eat it!!"
"Oh no! I can't eat like this anymore!"
Luffy suddenly stopped eating halfway through. Buggy nodded repeatedly, thinking that this bastard Straw Hat guy still knew how to restrain himself.
"Hmph! I'm glad you know..."
"We have to call everyone over to eat together!"
"Stop it, you bastard!!"
Law opened his mouth wide, and stood there in a daze. He couldn't understand Luffy's behavior, but he was shocked: "What's with this attitude of turning the tables?! Is this guy deliberately provoking me, or is he really that thick-skinned?!"
Just as Luffy and Buggy were wrestling and arguing about whether they could bring the people on the Merry over to eat together, the sky suddenly darkened and a shadow loomed over their heads, causing both of them to stop their movements abruptly.
"What's going on? Is it going to rain?"
"Come to think of it, Nami just asked me to come over and tell you that a big storm is about to start..."
"Couldn't you have said this earlier?!"
“Hehehe… Sorry! I was attracted by the smell of the food just now and forgot for a moment…”
Buggy let go of Luffy, looked at Law and said, "Did you hear everything, Law? A big storm is coming! You should also go back quickly and get your crew ready!"
"Although the Straw Hat guy is a bit of a jerk, the navigator on his ship is still very reliable. Since he said there was a big storm, I think it should be correct!"
However, despite what Bucky said, Law just looked up at the sky, his pupils trembling constantly, his face livid, and it was very ugly. When Bucky stopped, he moved his dry lips and said in a trembling voice: "I think the real trouble now is not the big storm..."
Buggy and Luffy looked at each other, and it was obvious that they found Law's condition very strange.
"What are you looking up at?"
Following Law's gaze, the two looked up, and were stunned, because right above them, there was an enormous pirate ship floating in the sky.
Instantly, Bucky was sweating profusely, and his head was torn apart by fear: "This... this... this is..."
"How amazing! There is a ship that can fly in the air?!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly, with twinkling stars in his eyes.
Law knew that Luffy was so stupid that he probably didn't know, so he turned to ask the more experienced Buggy: "Hey! Boss Buggy, do you think this could be..."
"Yes, there is no doubt about it! I have seen this situation before! Although there is only one ship now, there is no doubt that it is the ability of that man!!"
Ever since the "beating of the Celestial Dragons" incident, the Navy has teamed up with the World Economic News Agency to reveal Buggy's information, so now everyone who reads the newspaper on the sea knows that Buggy was once a member of Roger's pirate group, so Buggy no longer hides his identity.
"That one of the three great legends who stood on equal footing with Captain Roger and Whitebeard more than 20 years ago, Shiki the Golden Lion!!"
"He's on the pirate ship above our heads right now! Aaaahhhh!!!" Buggy was panicked and couldn't even control his emotions as he started yelling.
The scene above his head instantly reminded him of the 'Battle of Et-Wol' more than 20 years ago, and the gloomy day when the Oro Jackson was surrounded by the 'Flying Pirate Fleet' in that sea and was almost in a desperate situation.
If it wasn't for the lucky appearance of a big storm at the end that saved Roger's pirate group, I'm afraid the legend of "One Piece" would have changed hands.
Soon, the strange vision above their heads attracted the attention of all members of the Buggy Pirates, the Straw Hat Pirates, and the Heart Pirates.
A group of people were on their respective ships, looking up and warily at the spaceship in the sky, fearing that an island would suddenly fall and smash their pirate ships to pieces.
"Is it really the legendary 'Golden Lion'? Why would a man who disappeared for more than 20 years suddenly appear here?!"
"Golden Lion? Is he very powerful?" Luffy tilted his head and asked stupidly.
"Isn't this nonsense?! Were you listening carefully to what I just said?!"
Buggy was so nervous that he grabbed Luffy's clothes tightly and refused to let go: "That guy is a man who can fight against the former Captain Roger and the current Whitebeard! He is also the only person in history who escaped from the deep sea prison Impel!!"
"Escaped from Impel Prison?! Him??"
Luffy immediately realized the element, and his face lit up, "Then he must have a lot of experience there? In that case, I'd like to ask him to help me save Ace!!"
"Idiot Straw Hat! Stop dreaming! How could a pirate of that level agree to help you?!!"
That's right! What Buggy said was right. How could a pirate of that level agree to help you save Ace the Fire Fist...
Suddenly, Luo was stunned.
He blinked, lowered his head , and looked at Luffy in disbelief: "Straw Hat Master...what did you just say?!"
What do you mean by saving Fire Fist Ace? Did they just reveal some incredible plan...
…
After the storm, there was a clear sky above the sea.
But those who escaped the storm were not in a very good mood.
Because at this time, all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates, Buggy Pirates and Heart Pirates were invited by Golden Lion to drink tea on his pirate ship.
At the main seat of the banquet, a golden lion with a ship's rudder on his head, a cigarette in his mouth, a cloak hanging behind him, and two swords tied on his legs was sitting there proudly, complaining to Luffy, Buggy, and Law about his old friend.
"That bastard Newgate actually rejected my alliance invitation and even said something like 'my son can save himself, there's no need for you to help'..."
"Are you kidding me?! He's so old that he needs IV drips all day long. Why does he look down on me?!"
You can hear a lot of information just from these two sentences.
One is that Golden Lion contacted Whitebeard to form an alliance, with the obvious purpose of dealing with the navy, but was rejected by Whitebeard, and most likely even mocked him.
It is even not difficult to guess that Whitebeard's words mocking Golden Lion should be things like "You are old", "You have been hiding for more than 20 years", and "I am Whitebeard".
"That bastard has been like that for decades. As a pirate, he keeps talking about 'family' and 'son'. I don't know what's going on in his mind!"
“Hahahahaha!!! That guy has long lost the ambition to conquer the sea. There will be no ship for him to ride in the coming era! From now on, it’s my era!!”
The Golden Lion set his sights on the three captains who were attending the banquet.
"I'm very optimistic about the potential of the three of you. Do you want to come to my ship?"
