*Knock-Knock!*
As Spandam fidgeted, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"I have come to your call, Spandam. What do you want from me?" Kalifa entered with a question.
"You came just in time, Kalifa." Seeing Kalifa's arrival, Spandam began to feel relieved.
"You know, the Navy and the World Government have sent many strong soldiers to deal with the Drake Pirates, and they will arrive soon."
"But you know yourself how strong Drake Pirates are. If we face them head-on, we will certainly suffer great losses."
"So, I recommend you to World Government official to lure Vermillion out, this will make it easier for us to catch him," Spandam said.
"You're really suggesting that?" Kalifa furrowed her brow.
"This decision has been approved by the World Government, Kalifa. Remember, we will receive a huge loss if you thwart this mission."
Staring at Spandam with irritation, Kalifa could only sigh.
"Since the order has been issued, then I will try my best to complete this task." Kalifa turned and left Spandam's office, ready to carry out her mission.
Seeing Kalifa leave, Spandam slumped back into his chair. "This time it has to work, otherwise it will be my end..." Spandam was drenched in a cold sweat.

Under the guidance of Golden Lion, Vermillion finally arrived at a floating island overgrown with dense forest.
"Hmm, I didn't expect your choice of island to be so good."
"This floating island is quite beautiful." Looking down, Vermillion looked at the island covered in shady trees while raising his eyebrows.
"I'm surprised myself, I didn't expect us to arrive in less than half a day." Golden Lion said while breaking out in a cold sweat.
Even if Golden Lion flies at full speed, it takes at least a day to get to this base from Duel Island.
"Okay, don't talk too much. Hurry up and take me to the things you promised, after which I will set you free." Vermillion waved his hand.
"Or... do you want to rely on your men to save your life?"
Looking at the soldiers coming out from inside the island, Vermillion smiled.
"I have to admit, I won't try to play tricks this time." Golden Lion shook his head.
"Although I don't know your true strength, but, as the leader of that stinky woman, I'd argue that you're at least not weaker than her."
"My men won't be able to fight you, and I myself am still injured right now. Sorry, I don't want to continue fighting." Golden Lion sighed.
"Haha, the legendary Golden Lion getting beaten up by Drake, isn't that interesting?" Vermillion chuckled.
"And yes, all my partners are very strong."
"Miyamoto Musashi, Li Shuwen... they remind me of the Pirates of the old era." Golden Lion said.
"Hmm? Are you talking about the Rocks Pirates?"
"You know the Rocks Pirates?!" Golden Lion looked at the man with astonishment.
The Rocks Pirates were the strongest pirates before Roger's. Although they were powerful, only a few people still remembered them.
Golden Lion didn't expect that this young man knew about the Rocks Pirates!
"I know more than you do, Golden Lion." Vermillion smiled like a fox.
"I also know that you are a former member of Rocks Pirates too."
"You... do know quite a lot."
"Put me down, and I will order them not to attack. After that, I will bring you what you want."
Nodding, Vermillion floated down with Golden Lion.
"Be careful, that guy is coming down with the boss!"
"Quick, prepare for battle!"
"We have to save our boss!"
Merveille's residents are ready to rescue their Boss, Golden Lion.
"Okay, stop your noise." Golden Lion, who landed, immediately stopped his subordinates.
"Get out of the way, don't try to attack Vermillion." Golden Lion said as he led Vermillion forward.
"But, Boss, isn't this a good chance for us to catch him?"
"That's right! As long as we catch him, we can ask the Drake Pirates to surrender."
"Right, let's attack him together, Boss. With our numbers, he won't be able to move!"
"Shut up!"
Seeing his stubborn subordinates, Golden Lion immediately shouted at them.
"Haha, it seems your subordinates have no intention of letting me take my spoils so easily."
"Maybe I need to teach them a little lesson." He said while cracking his neck.
"Wait!"
*Boom!*
Before Golden Lion finished his words, all of his men hit the ground hard. This telekinetic power could not be underestimated.
"You..." Seeing the pitiful state of his men, Golden Lion pointed at the young man tremblingly.
"Okay, keep leading." Vermillion waved his hand, bored.
"You bastard, quickly release your power from them!"
Looking at his men still stuck on the ground, Golden Lion cried out in dissatisfaction.
