All those navy personnel died, so no one knew that Loya was behind it.

When they arrived, the warship was flying the Whitebeard Pirates' flag!

At noon, Loya will have his underworld partner contact news mogul Morgans to inform him that the Whitebeard Pirates have raided a naval base on the Grand Line, looted the naval armory, and killed an entire naval base of sailors!

This news came out.

During the Marineford War, Akainu's killing intent will be even more ferocious, right?

I believe that with Akainu's intelligence, he will know how to use this intelligence to incite the military and the navy, and to make more neutral navy members turn to the hawks!

So, will this war at Marineford be even more intense?

"Let's go, Kanu!"

Loya led Kanu onto the small speedboat, which sped away in an eastward direction.

A few hours later.

The small speedboat sailed into the calm zone between the Grand Line and the East China Sea.

(Euphorbia IX is located in the calm zone between the Grand Line and the South China Sea)

Based on inference, the floating islands of the Golden Lion should be located above this doldrums.

There are two reasons.

First, the Golden Lion's plan to exterminate the East China Sea naturally requires placing the base in a location close to the East China Sea for convenient travel;

Second, the Golden Lion's ability is thwarted by storms. These floating islands are extremely light, like balloons, so they are blown around by storms. Therefore, the island group must be above the calm zone, where there is no wind and no storms.

"Kanu, steer the boat and follow me!"

After giving the order, Loya soared into the sky and raced through the air using Moonwalk to find the Golden Lion's stronghold.

One day later.

Looking at Loya, who was still speeding through the air, Kanu couldn't help but say something:

"Master is so amazing!"

"He's practically a monster!"

three days later.

Kanu had fully adapted and developed a deep reverence for Loya's power.

The search has reached its fifth day.

"found it!"

Loya, high in the sky, focused his gaze on the distant, almost motionless cloud layer and the dozen or so floating islands hidden within it.

Chapter 41 The Truth Behind the Golden Lion's Plan to Destroy the East Sea

The Golden Lion Flying Battleship.

It is a special warship built around a small island that is over a thousand meters long.

At its front is a huge golden lion head, roaring across the world with an aura that can swallow mountains and rivers!

On either side are rows of huge oars, powered by technology from the South China Sea, which propel the air and provide the Golden Lion Flying Warship with the power to turn and move forward.

In the very center of the ship, a massive mast stands tall, with several enormous golden sails hanging from it.

In order to enable this flying warship to navigate freely and avoid storms in advance, Shiki the Golden Lion specially captured a large number of meteorological experts and navigators from the South China Sea and other places to form a special navigation team.

The "base" beneath this enormous mast is actually a very luxurious palace called the "Golden Lion Palace".

It is also where Golden Lion and others live.

In front of the Golden Lion Hall.

Shiki's eyes flashed with shock and anger, yet he remained calm and composed as he stared at Loya and the other man.

"Who are you two, and how did you find your way to this old man? And what brings you here?"

Although he was reserved in his demeanor.

But Loya immediately realized that Shiki was preparing to strike.

If the answer does not satisfy them, they will take immediate action!

'After all, he was the Golden Lion of yesteryear, a force to be reckoned with. Even though his three types of Haki have weakened due to the injury on his head, his imposing aura has never diminished.'

Loya thought to himself.

Then he nodded to Kanu.

"Hehe~"

Kanu let out a strange laugh, grabbed his left forearm with his right hand, and then twisted it forcefully!

Click!

Kanu broke his own left forearm!

A piece of bone was exposed to the air, looking extremely gruesome and bloody.

Despite the excruciating pain, Kanu remained completely still and didn't utter a single groan.

Then, Kanu forcibly tore off his broken forearm and threw it on the ground.

Sebastian's drug modifications nearly eliminated his sense of pain, turning him into a fighting maniac who would only obey Loya and Sebastian's orders.

Upon seeing this, Shiki narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then he crossed his arms, smiled slightly, and remained silent.

They seemed to be waiting for the rest of the story to unfold.

"My name is Loya, and I am a doctor."

Loya smiled and said, "She is also a user of the Healing Fruit."

As he spoke, he placed his hand on Kanu's shoulder.

"Healed (recovered)!"

A healing green glow emanated from Loya's hand, and after a few breaths, Kanu's severed arm grew back to its original state!

"As you can see, I have developed my healing fruit ability to a very high level; even regenerating short limbs is no problem for me!"

A glint flashed in Shiki's eyes, but he suppressed it.

They remained silent, waiting for Loya to continue.

"It is said throughout the land that there are three legendary pirates!"

"At the very top of the list is naturally the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger!"

"And the second place is said to be Edward Newgate with the white beard!"

"No one remembers the other one, the admiral of the Flying Pirates, known as the Golden Lion Shiki!"

Loya stopped there.

A dark rage flashed in the golden lion's eyes.

This hint of dark anger was well hidden by Scythe, but it did not escape Loya's eyes.

Then, Loya added, "But in my opinion, Whitebeard shouldn't be ranked second!"

"It should be Shiki the Golden Lion!"

"But seeing you today, I am indeed somewhat disappointed!"

Loya sighed.

At this moment, the anger in the Golden Lion's eyes could no longer be concealed!

"Mr. Loya, what brings you to this old man? Don't beat around the bush! Just say it!"

Only insecure and sensitive people would be angered by a few words.

Loya chuckled inwardly.

So why is Shiki insecure? Isn't he a powerful and charismatic pirate?

the reason is simple.

It's because the Golden Lion's three types of Haki have weakened significantly.

During the Battle of Eddwar in the war against Roger, he once put the Roger Pirates in dire straits, but at the last moment, a sudden storm reversed the situation instantly!

The Flying Pirates, or rather, Shiki's Float-Float Fruit ability, are most afraid of storms.

The advantage of making objects and oneself almost weightless and being able to float can become a huge disadvantage when encountering a storm.

The storm not only put his battle with Roger in jeopardy, but in the chaos of the fight, a flying ship's rudder unfortunately pierced Shiki's head.

Because the ship's rudder was stuck so deep that removing it would be life-threatening, Shiki had no choice but to keep it on his head, making him look quite comical.

In the first few years, he only occasionally felt headaches, but with his powerful aura, he was still able to keep his mind clear.

But after Roger was captured, he stormed Marine Headquarters, where he was defeated by Garp and Sengoku, who put Seastone shackles on his ankles and sent him to Impel Down.

After entering Impel Down, he felt that the three types of Haki had weakened significantly.
