117 Golden Lion Shiki
New World.
An unknown island.
A massive, heavily damaged ship docked along the shore, its mast bearing the iconic red-lipped pirate flag.
"Mama~Maamaa~"
"Newgate dared to sink my Queen mama chanter!"
Big Mom sat on the boulder with a gloomy face, soaked, and embarrassed.
A few days back, she had a confrontation with Whitebeard.
In the clash, Whitebeard's single punch sank her crew and their ship into the sea.
But after all, she was one of the Four Emperors, there were other strong people from the Big Mom Pirate on the ship, so how could she die easily.
Through combined efforts, the Queen Mama Chanter managed to break free from the vortex's grip.
After days of arduous sailing, the ship finally landed on this small island.
"Mother."
"What should we do now?"
Perospero's expression was downcast.
"Newgate dared to attack me. I'll never let him get away with it!"
Big Mom face was extremely gloomy.
As one of the Four Emperors, preserving her reputation is of utmost importance to her.
Having suffered such a severe defeat, how could she possibly tolerate this humiliation?
Now she just wants to repair the ship as soon as possible, and then return to Cake Island to summon all her forces and officially declare war on Whitebeard.
"..."
Perospero wore a grim expression, trying to persuade Big Mom from acting on impulse.
However...
The situation is not concluded yet.
A laugh came from within the depths of the forest.
The members of the Big Mom Pirates exchanged glances, regaining their composure as they turned their attention towards the source of the laughter.
"Haahahahah~"
"The admiral's foresight is truly remarkable. He had already predicted Whitebeard's victory. Now all that's left is to deliver the New World information to the Admiral and our plan can begin"
a man's laughter echoed from the heart of the woods.
"Yes!"
"The Golden Lion boss is destined to rule the entire world."
"Hahahaha, no matter how strong Whitebeard is, he will eventually bow to the admiral!"
Several other people also laughed.
All of them were subordinates of Golden Lion Shiki.
This time they arrived in the New World for a specific purpose – to gather intelligence.
Originally
Golden Lion received news about the decisive battle between Whitebeard and Bullet.
He expects that the New World will undergo significant changes.
Therefore, he took immediate action
Preparing to thoroughly investigate the situation of various forces in the New World before initiating his own plan.
"Mama~Maamaa~"
"So it's the old guy Shiki. And listening to this, it seems like some kind of plan is still in motion!"
Big Mom listened closely, a maniacal grin forming on her face.
She believed she had been unlucky on the island.
Surprisingly, while dealing with her affairs on the island, she encountered Golden Lion's subordinates and overheard this secret matter.
With a newfound idea, she stood up
Her huge body walked towards the depths of the forest.
The laughter of Golden Lion subordinates was interrupted by the sound of movement. They raised their heads slightly, and then saw a huge figure approaching.
Upon closer observation, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
"This... is Big Mom?"
"How is it possible? How could Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, appear here?!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
But soon fear surged within their hearts as their body tremble from shock
Although they don't know why Big Mom is here, obviously is not a good thing for them.
"Mama~Maamaa~"
"Take me to Shiki right now! Or you can give me all your life!"
Big Mom looked down on Shiki subordinate and showed a maniac smile.
"Ugh..."
Several individuals gulped nervously.
Before they could react, they saw Big Mom raise her palm.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out.
Thick smoke billowed up, debris scattered around, and then the forest returned to a state of tranquility.
While Shiki subordinate stood froze in fear.
.
….
.
East Blue.
Floating island.
A palace on the island.
Shiki, known as the Golden Lion and the Admiral of the Flying Pirates, was seated on the palace throne, looking at the newspaper in his hand.
"6,564,800,000 berries! This really an amazing bounty, which has never been seen in the history of pirates!"
Golden Lion face was full of admiration.
Although he has long been expecting that Whitebeard will win, he also thought that the bounty would increase significantly.
But he didn't expect it to increase by one billion all at once.
"Jieaahahahha ~"
"But it's okay, because my plan is about to begin. As long as it succeeds, my bounty will definitely surpass yours, Whitebeard!"
Shiki laughed wildly, his eyes full of confidence.
To achieve his ambition, he dispatched his subordinates to the New World.
Once the situation of various forces is thoroughly investigated, the plan can be executed fully, leading to a world-changing event.
By the time,
He will become the greatest pirate that ever lived!
"Admiral, the crew who went to New World to investigate intelligence is back."
Just then, a subordinate rushed in, his face full of panic.
"Have they returned?"
Golden Lion exclaimed, jumping up from his seat. The hilts of his two swords thudded against the ground as he stood: "What are you waiting for? Get them in here!""
"But, but..."
the subordinate spoke nervously
"If you've got something to say, spit it out quickly! Don't waste my time!"
Golden Lion snapped impatiently.
"The ship that returned not only had a crew member who was investigating intelligence, but also Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, was on board. She even said she wants to see the admiral"
The subordinate explained in a panicked voice.
"What?!"
"How could that old lady Linlin be on my ship?"
Golden Lion eyes widened: "And what does that old lady want from me? My relationship with her is not very good!"
Although he, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom
Were once crewmates on the same ship..
But the relationship between the four of them isn't very good.
Back in the day, few aboard that ship could even stand each other, let alone fight alongside at sea; they were practically enemies turned rivals.
"Admiral, do you want to meet her?"
The guy couldn't help asking.
"Jieaahahahha ~"
"That old woman Linlin is a lunatic. If she doesn't see her, she will never leave easily."
Golden Lion laughed, and then waved his hand: "Bring the old woman up, I want to see what she's up to!"
"Yes!"
The men quickly stepped back.
Ten minutes later
Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, arrived with her group of children. Upon seeing Golden Lion Shiki, she broke into a wide smile.
"Golden Lion, it's been quite a while since I've seen you!"
