===========
"Floating Island?"
"The Golden Lion Pirates?"
"That legendary flying pirate... Shiki the Golden Lion?"
Not long after, Luke summoned all the members of the Netherworld Pirate.
Then he informed Robin, Wyper, Van Augur, Hogback, and others about the news about the Golden Lion Pirates.
They all couldn't help but be shocked, and some were inexplicably excited.
No one expected that they would accidentally encounter the legendary pirate from the previous era.
"Next, I'm going to meet this group of pirates for a while..."
Luke said directly: "Ryuma, Wyper, Augur, Lafitte, you guys are responsible for taking that guy, Wapol, with me, but you don't need to participate in the battle!"
"Others don't need to go there; stay here and wait!"
He quickly made arrangements.
He took Wapol there, naturally wanting to recover Shiki's devil fruit ability.
Ryuma was sent out just to be on the safe side, lest that guy Wapol would be easily killed.
The ability of Van Augur's Clear-Clear Fruit is just right in use.
And with Wyper and Lafitte's abilities, as long as they are not involved in the battle, with their flying abilities, self-protection should be no problem.
It's good to open their eyes.
"Yes, Luke-sama!"
Regarding Luke's decision, everyone present would naturally have no objections.
Of course, even if they think it's a little too risky, they know it's useless to have objections.
Although Luke is usually easy to talk to, he always does what he says and will not change things he has decided easily.
"Then you have to be careful, Luke!"
Robin looked at Luke worriedly.
The opponent is, after all, a legendary pirate.
"Don't worry, Shiki is no longer the all-powerful lion he once was. It's without its fangs and claws; the threat to me may not even be as great as Admiral Aokiji!"
Luke was full of confidence and comforted with a smile.
Perhaps the current Golden Lion is not as senile as it was five years later in its original trajectory, but its glory is still there.
But having a rudder inserted on the head will definitely have a great impact on him. Moreover, it is still unclear whether he can use Conqueror's Haki.
In order to escape from prison, he lost his legs, so he used a sword as a prosthetic limb.
Where can he get stronger?
Because of the intense training in the morning, Luke was in no hurry to set off directly.
Instead, he was patient and took a two-hour break to recharge his stamina.
Ensuring that all aspects of his body are restored to peak condition.
His shadows surged and transformed into a huge black eagle.
"Woohoo..." As Robin, Perona, Brook, and others watched, the astonishingly large falcon flapped its wings.
With Luke, Wyper, and others, it rushed towards the distant sky at an astonishing speed.
In order to ensure that the Munch-Munch Fruit's abilities could continue to be utilized, Luke did not turn Wapol into a zombie.
But this guy has long been controlled by Luke's implanted shadow and turned into a puppet who obeys his orders.
Although this method is ineffective for strong people, it is easy to break free.
But for Wapol, who has basically no strength and weak will.
Couldn't be a better fit.
"Whoosh..."
The wind howled less than an hour later in the sky in the distance.
A huge black spot looms.
Then, it slowly becomes clearer and turns out to be a huge floating island.
As if it has lost gravity, it is suspended thousands of meters in the air, with no tendency to fall, creating a scene full of extremely shocking visual impact.
"Hiss!"
"Those floating islands..."
"Is this what Golden Lion is capable of?"
"Tsk, tsk, that's really exaggerated!"
Although they have already heard Luke mention it.
But after all, Wyper, Lafitte, and others did not have a very profound concept.
It wasn't until this moment, when they saw these groups of floating Island with their own eyes, that they realized how exaggerated Golden Lion's Devil Fruit's ability really was.
"We're almost close... Augur, activate your devil fruit's ability!"
"No problem, leave it to me!"
Van Augur nodded confidently.
The ability of the Clear-Clear Fruit was directly activated.
The huge black falcon, together with Luke and others on its back, all became transparent in the blink of an eye.
They disappeared completely into the sky. However, there were still bursts of loud sound.
In the sky, there were faint ripples.
Not long.
Merveille, the island of beasts.
A huge thing invisible to the naked eye suddenly spiraled down and stopped in a hidden corner.
"Luke-sama, what are you going to do next?"
As a special zombie, Ryuma had a fierce fighting spirit in his eyes: "How about I go find out about Golden Lion?"
As a great swordsman, he naturally hopes to fight against a great swordsman like Golden Lion.
"Don't worry; it is the lair of the Golden Lion Pirates, after all. Let's check their treasure house first to see if there is anything valuable!"
Luke waved his hand.
There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flickered.
The reason why he didn't just come up and make a fuss was because he thought that if they started fighting directly, these floating islands might be destroyed.
Before that, Luke was planning to sneak into the Golden Lion's treasure house to see if there were any treasures worthy of attention, such as Devil Fruit or something.
"Whoosh..."
He flicked his fingers.
A thin shadow string, almost invisible to the naked eye, flew to the palace like lightning.
His Observation Haki feels a very powerful aura there.
Apparently, it's Shiki's home, and he is there himself.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the Shadow Clone stood upright and disappeared directly in front of Luke.
The main body, however, remains in place so as not to alert the enemy prematurely.
"Brush..." No one found it on the huge main island.
A looming black shadow silently walked through the shadows and sneaked directly into the palace.
It didn't attract any attention at all.
About ten minutes later.
In a huge and spacious treasure house, a human-shaped black shadow emerged from the dark corner.
Ignoring the dazzling piles of gold treasures.
It soon found a hidden secret compartment, and five treasure boxes were taken out.
"Hey, is this for real?"
