One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 441: Navy Headquarters' Mistake

Looking at the golden lion in the air, the sailors in the port were all trembling in fear. Some could not hold on any longer and fell to their knees with a thud. Some tried to shoot, but the bullets were completely deflected by the strong wind and domineering force before they could get close to the golden figure.

That man was like a god descended to earth, looking down at the people of Marinford, letting them respect him or not.

"Don't panic!" With a loud shout, the chaotic navy seemed to have found their backbone all of a sudden.

Two figures walked out of the headquarters building slowly but steadily, side by side - Navy Marshal "Sengoku" Sengoku, and Admiral of the Navy Headquarters "Akainu" Sakaski.

"Yes, Marshal Zhan Guo!"

"Also, General Sakaski."

If the great pirates are the shadow of evil, then the admirals of the navy are the backbone of justice.

The appearance of Sengoku and Sakaski gave all the navy a reassurance.

Vice Admiral Crane did not show up, and it would be a waste of her ability to fight the Golden Lion head-on. She was responsible for temporarily taking over the Marshal's authority and commanding the navy of Marinford to protect the civilian area and family area.

Both of them had the same gloomy and solemn expressions.

No one, be it the shrewd Sengoku, the wise Crane, the decisive Sakaski, or the other generals left behind at the Navy Headquarters, had expected that the Golden Lion would appear above the headquarters at this time.

Borsalino is far away on Egghead Island, Kuzan is on a mission in the New World, Zephyr has not yet returned from Wano Country, Gion and Kake are stationed in the New World, and Garp is temporarily away from his post to visit his grandson in the East China Sea. The defense of the Navy Headquarters is unprecedentedly empty, and the only three who can be called "top combat power" are Sengoku, Sakaski and Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Even Sakaski would have headed for the New World if the warship had not encountered an unexpected accident.

Zhan Guo was startled. Originally...

Could it be that this is not a coincidence?

Did the Golden Lion deliberately "choose" to appear at this time?

"Hahahaha!" Golden Lion looked at the screen in his hand and laughed heartily, "This is really a good thing!"

Zhan Guo's pupils suddenly contracted. Although they were far away, he could still see clearly what Golden Lion was holding in his hand - a latest tablet computer!

The wise general's brain worked rapidly and he soon understood everything.

The reason why the navy dared to transfer most of its forces away from Marinford was because it could learn the movements of most pirates from the increasingly developed news system.

For the navy, "the vast majority" is enough. In fact, it is more than enough to just understand the movements of the Four Emperors.

The Navy did just that.

There were traces of a bonfire party on an island in the New World, as well as crisscrossing sword marks - only Mihawk and Shanks could leave such traces. The Red Hair Pirates must be somewhere in the territory.

The main force of the Whitebeard Pirates has been wandering around the New World, and there are no signs of their pirate groups gathering.

Big Mom had just celebrated her birthday and was still "happy". She spent the whole day eating cake and having fun on the Cake Island.

Feng Ziyu and the sisterhood had just had a small conflict with a secondary force in the New World.

The rest of the pirates were nothing to be feared by the Navy Headquarters. Therefore, the Navy could recklessly deploy troops and execute deployments, and keep pressure on the pirates of the New World while ensuring the safety of the Navy Headquarters.

Although the whereabouts of the navy will be exposed to the pirates to a certain extent due to news reports, the navy has an absolute advantage in "manpower" and is enough to suppress the pirates. The more transparent the information, the more free the navy's actions will be.

But if the person the Navy overlooked was the "Golden Lion", then there would be a big problem.

After being away from the sea for twenty years, the Navy, the World Government, and the all-pervasive journalists paid little attention to him. Flying in the sky, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, he could easily pass through the most stringent surveillance without alerting anyone and arrive above the headquarters.

The Golden Lion could learn about the deployment of the Navy and the whereabouts of the "Admirals" through public news channels, but the Navy knew nothing about the Golden Lion's arrival!

“Zhan Guo…” The golden lion narrowed his eyes and looked at his “old friend” in the gloomy sky. “This time, you can’t stop me!!”

The golden light flickered, and the dazzling giant Buddha rose from the ground, facing the flying lion in the distance.

The unruly lion, the angry Buddha, everything is the same as it was back then, but unknowingly, the white hair has turned into a gray face.

The appearance of the golden lion was completely beyond Zhan Guo's expectations.

Zhan Guo really thought that the Golden Lion had died a long time ago.

After all, a large amount of blood and severed feet were found in Impel Down that year. All the evidence pointed to the fact that Golden Lion cut off his own legs, broke free from the shackles of seastone, and escaped from Impel Down with the help of the fruit power.

At that time, someone suggested that with the injuries the Golden Lion had suffered, it would be impossible for it to fly across the vast ocean outside the city.

There are also some optimistic speculations that the rudder inserted into the head will inevitably cost the old lion's life.

For the past twenty years, there has not been a single piece of news related to the Golden Lion on the sea, which seems to indirectly confirm the navy's speculation at that time.

The navy's nerves, which were highly tense in order to prevent the Golden Lion from invading again, have also relaxed.

Unexpectedly, the Golden Lion did not die from excessive blood loss or tetanus, but endured for twenty years and seized the opportunity to reappear.

Sakaski could no longer hold back. Thick smoke rose up, and the smell of sulfur and scorching heat were spreading wantonly. He walked forward with a cold face, and his arms had already turned into surging magma. "You have been hiding your identity for twenty years, just for this day? What a good plan!"

"But I won't let you do whatever you want!" Sakaski bent his legs slightly, exerted force suddenly, and soared into the air like an arrow, rushing straight at the golden lion in the air.

"Lava Imp..."

A trace of memory flashed in the eyes of the Golden Lion. When he was roaming the sea, Sakaski was just a "newcomer". Twenty years later, he has become a general and even reached the age where he calls himself "old man".

He just slightly turned sideways to avoid Sakaski's fierce attack.

"Don't waste your energy. You can't stop me."

The golden lion opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the whole world, "This era... from today on, will be ruled by 'pirates'!!"

"Navy, tremble! After playing house on this ocean for twenty years, it's time to see what real pirates are like!"

"This time..."

The golden lion licked the corner of his mouth, his face was crazy and distorted, showing a trace of illness,

"What do you think of Marinford?"

Sakaski, who had already landed, had a gloomy expression on his face. He raised his right arm, and magma with a temperature of thousands of degrees Celsius gushed out.

"Akainu"'s famous skill "Hell Dog"!

"Lion·Senkiriya!!"

The sword energy crisscrossed the magma, breaking it into pieces, and passed through Akainu's body, leaving a cross-shaped mark on the port of Marinford.

"——I'm going to kill you to my heart's content!"

As the Golden Lion finished speaking,

"Roar!!!"

The roars of countless crazy and bloodthirsty beasts came from the floating islands in the air.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the Navy Headquarters saw a nightmare-like scene that they would never forget.

Pairs of blood-red pupils that were ready to devour anyone, and gaping mouths dripping with blood and full of sharp teeth gradually appeared from the edge of the floating island. Their dark gazes looked even more terrifying in the dim sky.

They seemed to have received some kind of command and moved quickly.

Figures jumped directly from the island, like a rain curtain, landing on the land of Marinford.

In a flash,

The massacre began.
