Navigation: Healing Warlock, top-tier healer for Whitebeard

Even after severing his own legs and escaping Impel Down two years later, Shiki did not sense any sign of his three types of Haki recovering.

This made Shiki panic.

Only domineering power can rise above everything else.

No matter how strong the Float-Float Fruit's power is, even if the fruit's power has been awakened, without the three types of Haki, he can only be considered a second-rate powerhouse.

No matter how strong one's swordsmanship or physical body is, even if one can slice through a mountain with a single sword strike, without the three colors of Haki, one can only be considered a second-rate expert.

because.

The consequence of not having Observation Haki is that the accuracy of the sword strikes is very poor.

Therefore, in the movie "Strong World", Shiki couldn't hit Luffy no matter how he tried to slash him.

The consequence of not having Armament Haki is that one's physical body has very poor resistance to blows.

Therefore, in the movie "Strong World", Shiki was completely knocked out by Luffy's Gear Third Giant Axe kick.

The consequences of not having Conqueror's Haki are not very obvious.

But three legendary pirates, Roger and Whitebeard, could use Hakuryuu, while you, Shiki, couldn't...

People would laugh themselves to death if they told anyone.

Naturally, the golden lion, having lost its three-color Haki, panicked.

He feared encountering old acquaintances: Whitebeard, Kaido, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, Charlotte Linlin...

If they discover that I no longer possess the three colors of Haki.

Being killed is a minor matter!

The worst part is how embarrassing it is!

For a great pirate like Shiki, who once dominated the world, death was not something he feared.

But he couldn't bear to lose face like that.

So the Golden Lion had no choice but to hide away and think of other ways to conquer the world.

After 22 years of hard work, he and his old subordinate Indigo, a scientist and ship's doctor, conducted research on IQ.

The first step in studying IQ is to conduct animal experiments. The ultimate goal is actually to restore the Golden Lion's strength through IQ.

Now that the experiments on animals with IQ have begun to show results, the Golden Lion is in a better mood and is preparing to conduct large-scale human experiments under the guise of the East China Sea extinction plan.

That's right!

Destroying the East China Sea is just a pretext; what the Golden Lion really wants to do is conduct large-scale human experiments with IQ drugs!

Because many animals die in IQ experiments, only a few survive, and the offspring of these surviving animals are then used to continue the experiments.

It took twenty years of research and development, generation after generation, to finally achieve results.

If we conduct human experiments in small batches, it's unknown how much time it would take!

The Golden Lion is already over seventy years old and simply cannot wait another twenty years!

The East China Sea Extinction Plan sounds intimidating, and it certainly lives up to its Golden Lion name!

But in reality, the East Blue is very weak. Even as a second-rate expert, Shiki could carry out his plan smoothly as long as he avoids Garp and other naval experts and escapes using a flying warship.

In this way, by using the East China Sea destruction plan, they gained both face and substance.

Having suppressed his feelings for over two decades, the Golden Lion had long since become insecure and sensitive. The days of hiding and the days of lost glory were the greatest blow to a former king.

Chapter 42 Provoking Shiki the Golden Lion (Seeking flowers and monthly tickets)

“Alright, then, Senior Shiki, I will speak frankly.”

"As you can see, my healing fruit ability can regenerate severed limbs within a few breaths!"

"To heal your legs, remove the rudder from your head, and restore your body to the condition of a ten-year-old is entirely within my reach!"

"However, there's no such thing as a free lunch. I need Senior Shiki to do something for me!"

At this point, Loya paused, then feigned a sigh: "Alas, it's a pity that upon seeing you today, I find that Senior Shiki has lost his former vigor!"

"I'm afraid that what I need Senior Shiki to do, Senior Shiki is unable to do!"

"I think I should go back. Let's call off this deal and pretend I was never here!"

Having said that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

Anger flashed in Shiki's eyes as he spoke in a low, deep voice:

Do you think this place is somewhere you can come and go as you please?

After a pause, Shiki suppressed some of his anger. "Surely you'd like to make your deal. There's no need to try to provoke me!"

After saying that, Shiki snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

Loya chuckled inwardly upon hearing this.

It's easy to see through a provocation tactic, but a person as concerned about their reputation as a Leo will still fall for it even if they see through it.

Loya turned to Shiki and said, "Several of my childhood friends were captured by the Celestial Dragons and taken to Mary Geoise as slaves..."

"Twenty years have passed, and I have no idea what they look like now. Therefore, I wish to rescue all the slaves of Mary Geoise."

"This is the reward I need from you for healing Shiki-senpai!"

When the Golden Lion heard this, he was almost dumbfounded.

"Wait a minute... If you're going to save a few of your childhood friends, why are you rescuing all the slaves? This is utter nonsense!"

Shiki rebuked him, somewhat agitated.

Human experiments on IQ have not yet begun, and even if they do, results are not guaranteed in a short period of time, and there are still unknown risks involved.

So when Shiki saw Loya's powerful healing abilities, he was immediately tempted.

If Loya heals me, maybe I can return to my peak?

How could the Golden Lion possibly give up such an irresistible temptation as Loya?

Originally, Shiki planned to trick Loya into healing him first, offering Loya whatever conditions he wanted, since he wouldn't honor them or would just keep making excuses to delay.

Anyway, Shi Ji has done quite a few things like this.

In Kingdom, Nami warns Shiki of a storm ahead, so Shiki tricks the Straw Hat crew into believing he can take them to the East Blue, but ambushes them on the way and kidnaps Nami.

Shiki is a true pirate. He possesses both overwhelming charisma and cunning, treacherous and scheming nature.

He could risk everything for a moment of passion and charge into the Marine Headquarters alone.

They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Loya saw through his cunning and impulsive nature, so he cleverly provoked him from the start, forcing him to act impulsively.

If Shiki wants to trick Loya into healing himself first, and then not keep his promise or delay it, then Shiki will be able to deceive him.

At that time, Shiki could easily imagine Loa mocking him for not daring to oppose the World Government, unlike Roger and Whitebeard.

Shiki didn't care whether people hated him or were hostile to him, since he was a cunning pirate and countless people hated him anyway.

But to mock him, to compare him to Roger and Whitebeard, to say that Shiki was inferior to those two, was something Shiki, being so proud, could never tolerate.

Therefore, Shiki intends to seriously negotiate with Loya.

However, he never expected that the reward Loya wanted him to pay was to rescue all the slaves in Mary Geoise!

This is too risky.

The Golden Lion naturally did not want to agree to these terms of the deal.

But Loya had his weaknesses exploited.

He simply laughed and said, "Then Senior Shiki will become a slave of Mary Geoise, for we are all my childhood friends!"

"You!" Shiki nearly exploded with anger upon hearing this. "Ha, you have quite a lot of relatives and friends..."

"Let's go, Kanu. I knew Shiki-senpai couldn't do it..."

Loya called out to Kanu, then turned around again, intending to leave!

"When did I ever say I couldn't do it!"

Shiki was so angry that his chest heaved.

He suppressed his anger and shouted loudly at Loya and the other man.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, senior~ It was my fault!"

Loya turned around and quickly feigned apology, saying, "Then... senior... you've agreed to my conditions?"

"This matter..." the Golden Lion gritted his teeth, "requires careful consideration!"

After a pause, the Golden Lion forced an ugly smile and coaxed, "..."

"Hehe, young friend Loya, to be honest, you're so young, you probably don't understand how difficult it was to rescue so many slaves from Mary Geoise!"

"Let me put it this way, even if Roger were reborn and teamed up with Whitebeard again, it would be very difficult for him to do this!"

"So it's not that I'm unwilling to agree!"
