The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

[Thank you so much to 'Zhu Shen Huanghun' for another 5,000 points!! That brings the total to over 10,000 points, thank you!!]

364 I only have one question!! How exactly did Roger die?! Do you dare to refute me with your beliefs of justice?

"Eight-foot beautiful magatama!!"

"Big fire!!!"

After all that initial chaos and commotion~

The two sounds that followed, along with the dazzling light and intense melting heat, forcefully interrupted the downward trajectory of the island falling from the sky!

The laser beams were dazzling, almost at full power, and two or three points of starlight landed on an island, precisely blasting it apart.

That massive, fiery red lava fist also formed a huge volcanic wave!

Magma is essentially rock that has melted or partially melted underground; in other words, it is rock that is coated with high-temperature material.

The islands where the golden lion landed were all basically composed of soil and rock.

For intense lava, it's actually the best filling material!

Whew!!

After two powerful generals took action, the island of Marineford, which had been on the verge of annihilation, was destroyed in an instant.

"As expected, these so-called tricks are really no match for the navy's high-end power..."

High in the sky, the golden lion, with a cigar in its mouth, looked at the scene before it and couldn't help but grin and shake its head.

He couldn't help but recall that arrogant brat who used to make thunder on the floating island, before the war even began.

"Although that kid annoys me a lot, at least in this respect, he's right."

The golden lion's robes fluttered, and his eyes revealed his arrogance. "In the face of all wars and conspiracies, only the power of the pinnacle can make everyone submit."

"My twenty years of preparations to annihilate the East China Sea might actually turn out to be a joke in the eyes of these naval forces if I were to actually carry them out."

"Then it's better to use this battlefield as a stage to once again declare my presence to the world!"

"Besides, we can't let the achievements of the past twenty years go to waste..."

He gazed at the islands that hadn't been completely stopped, some of which had fallen to the ground, and a wild smile crept onto his lips.

"Hehehehe, don't think that I've been hiding away for the past twenty years to retire!!"

"I am still alive in this world!!"

Awooo~!!!

Accompanied by the golden lion's laughter, enormous figures emerged from the fallen islands.

Before the approaching navy could react, blood splattered everywhere.

"Are those...monsters?!"

"What a huge tiger and gorilla!!!"

"And mantises, beetles... How can there be such huge insects?!"

"What a ferocious monster!!!"

Amidst the numerous cries of panic from the navy, the ferocious beasts carefully cultivated by the IQ plants burst forth, launching continuous attacks on the surrounding navy.

"Hehehehe, as expected of a modified, ferocious breed, its power is truly on another level!!!"

Looking at the wailing and howling below, and the scene of people running away in panic, the Golden Lion laughed with great satisfaction.

"I said……"

Below, Whitebeard's voice echoed, "What the hell do you want, you bastard?!"

Whitebeard tapped the hilt of his sword forcefully, slightly raised his eyes, looked at Shiki, and said in a deep voice.

"You bastard, you're not planning to attack both of us at the same time, are you?!"

On the scene, the ferocious beasts that rushed out attacked and tore at anyone they saw, completely indiscriminate in their attacks, even chasing after the Marines and members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Soon, not only the navy, but also many of Whitebeard's crew members were injured, and quite seriously.

"Hehehehe, you're not dead yet, Newgate~"

The golden lion laughed loudly and flew down alone at a rapid pace.

"I'd better live well before I sink you, you bastard, to the bottom of the sea."

The white-bearded man glanced at him sideways.

"Hehehehe, it seems you're still in pretty good spirits. Your tone hasn't changed at all since twenty years ago."

The golden lion grinned and came to the side of the Moby Dick, where it sat cross-legged... in mid-air.

Then, he noticed the white beard's striking blond hair and couldn't help but smack his lips.

At the same time, Shiki's eyes narrowed slightly.

Aside from his blond hair, Whitebeard's condition and aura were in no way inferior to what they were twenty years ago!

"His physical condition and strength seem to have been consistently at their peak. That's truly remarkable, Newgate!"

"What exactly do you want from here?!"

Whitebeard gave him one last look. "If you came here just to spout this nonsense, then hurry up and get out of here."

"Hahaha, no one farts as much as the Navy!"

A subtle smile appeared on Shiki's face. "I came here mainly to see if the Marine Headquarters that I destroyed has been rebuilt."

As he spoke, he looked up at the building behind the execution platform and nodded solemnly.

"It seems the navy's infrastructure capabilities are quite good."

He stroked his chin. "Destroying it like this feels even better!!!"

"Do whatever you want..."

Whitebeard said in a deep voice, "But if you get in our way, I'll make you pay the price, you old bastard!!"

"Hehehehe, don't worry, my main purpose in coming here is to let the world know I still exist and to get back at them for what I did last time!"

Shiki slowly rose to his feet. "And the second objective is..."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before he could finish speaking, a whooshing sound came from the air!

Those jet-black cannonballs burst forth from the naval platform, accurately striking the pirate ship's hull, which was suspended in mid-air by the Golden Lion.

boom! !

A violent explosion rang out, and the prow, symbolizing the golden lion, burst open, while the entire ship was engulfed in flames and smoke.

On the ship that was about to sink, two figures hurriedly jumped out.

Judging from their attire, they were the same gorilla who could understand human speech who danced with Shiki the Golden Lion before, and Dr. Indigo.

"Since you're here, don't leave..."

On the high platform, Garp gripped a cannonball in one hand, his eyes fixed on the spot. "Shiki!!"

"..."

Golden Lion couldn't help but look up at his damaged vehicle. "You're not old, Garp..."

Dark lines hung down his forehead, and his eyes grew increasingly cold.

"The power of the Fist Bone Meteor Shower has not diminished in the slightest compared to the past."

"It's precisely because guys like you keep popping up on the high seas that I can't retire in peace..."

Garp retorted without any hesitation.

"Ha~"

The golden lion scoffed disdainfully.

The two sides were old rivals who had clashed countless times, and they knew each other's situations all too well.

"Before we officially begin, I have one more question!!"

The golden lion slowly floated into the air, raised its head, and its eyes held a predatory look.

"How exactly was Roger imprisoned?!"

"Um?!!"

Roger again?!

Sengoku and Garp, who had just witnessed Roger's prowess, were both taken aback when Shiki suddenly asked them this question...

Immediately afterwards, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Sengoku's heart.

"How else could he have been locked up?!"

Garp raised an eyebrow. "He was a wanted pirate criminal, so it's only natural that he's locked up..."

"That's not what I was asking!!!"

Golden Lion suddenly raised his voice, interrupting Garp's answer.

He roared, "I only want one thing!!"

"You've publicly claimed that it was your navy that captured Roger..."

The golden lion slowly opened its mouth, and Sengoku's expression suddenly changed.

"But that's not the news I heard!!!"

Golden Lion stared intently at Garp, his expression subtly changing.

"Did your navy arrest Roger, or did Roger surrender voluntarily, and you shamelessly use that to promote yourselves?!"

He roared as he announced the astonishing news!

The entire audience was stunned.

"This bastard!!!"

Sengoku's eyes widened in anger, and he immediately pulled out a Den Den Mushi (communication phone):

"Quickly cut off the live broadcast signal, Den Den Mushi!!!"

This matter must absolutely not be made known to the outside world, otherwise it would be a huge blow to the trust and prestige of the Navy!

Especially after the Navy and everyone else had just witnessed Roger's prowess!

It was only with great difficulty that the navy managed to boost morale with Roger's help, restoring public confidence in the navy.

If Shiki reveals the truth, things might be alright on their side, as they could at least somewhat sway the Navy. But if the outside world learns the real story...

Sengoku's gaze twitched slightly; this was not something that could be handled simply by refuting rumors!

"War! Warlord of the Warring States!!"

The Den Den Mushi in his hand suddenly rang urgently.

"What's wrong?!!"

"All the video Den Den Mushi have disappeared!!!"

"Nani?!!"

On the iron wall above the harbor, Link held several live-streaming Den Den Mushi in his hand, a smile playing on his lips.

People should be willing to take responsibility for their actions, especially someone as large as the navy.

The public, including citizens, also have the right to know.

Just as the Warring States period was looking grim, on the high platform...

"I can not understand what you say."

Garp's expression gradually returned to calm.

"Hehehehe, starting to play dumb now, Garp!!"

The golden lion seemed to have expected this and burst into laughter.

"In that case, Garp!!"
