Chapter 412 Porusalino: The Strong Men Who Came Back From the Dead, the Top Leaders of the Cross Union, Akatsuki!
"Jie hahahaha! How is it possible? How is it impossible!"
Taking a deep breath of cigarette, "Golden Lion" Shiji laughed condescendingly - an invisible aura suddenly filled the air, making Karul, whose strength was comparable to that of a Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, even feel difficulty breathing and his heart beat suddenly. Accelerating, the body tightened involuntarily, as if facing some huge horror.
"I am the man who conquered the sea from the sky!"
The "Golden Lion" stretched out his left hand forward, then squeezed it tightly into a fist, and Karul's body immediately floated completely out of his control:
"Is it impossible to conquer death and return from the underworld now?"
"Jie hahahaha!"
The previously confirmed appearance would make Karul wonder if someone had used a Devil Fruit with special powers, such as a Superman-type imitation fruit. Then with the golden lion's opening and the iconic fluttering fruit power he displayed at this time, Karul would no longer doubt the identity of the man in front of him.
But……
Conquer death and rise from the dead?
Resurrection from the dead? ! !
Karul's pupils shrank instantly. He thought of the man who had shocked the whole world before and had all the top CP0 executives lectured by the Five Old Stars...
"Stop..."
Snap, snap, snap——
Rhythmic applause suddenly sounded from the door of the Japanese style hall where Karul and the Golden Lion were, interrupting what Karul wanted to say.
A man wearing a black trench coat embroidered with red clouds, a special ring on his right index finger, and an orange-red single-eyed mask with black stripes on his face walked in slowly.
"You guessed it right, Karul, it's me!"
"..."
Even though he was covered up mysteriously from head to toe, this familiar voice still helped Karul identify the visitor.
The former head of the CP0 Logistics Department, the president of the "Cross Union" that placed bounties on the world government, a man who announced to the sea that he had come back from the dead...
"As expected, it's you! Thain Department...!"
"What? You don't even want to call me 'minister'? You clearly wanted to talk to me and get my appreciation..."
Minister Thain walked to the golden lion and stood side by side. Although he did not take off his mask, Karul could completely imagine the other party's arrogant and playful smile.
"..."
Karul was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened angrily:
"Sain! Although I don't know what you are doing and what is going on with this golden lion! But how dare you..."
"Dare to kidnap a Celestial Dragon?"
Thain took over the words with a disdainful tone, "What can I not dare to do? Haven't I already offered a bounty to the whole world for our superior Five Old Stars? An astronomical figure of fifty Baileys! Sai! No matter how noble that pig is, Crater, can he compare to them?"
"Besides, what does their dignity have to do with me? The people I kidnap are Tianlong people!"
"Jie hahahaha! What a lovely speech! Thain!"
Golden Lion smiled and praised, "I suddenly felt that it might be interesting to accept your invitation and join your cross union!"
"!!!"
Only then did Karul realize that Minister Thain's special dress at this time may not just be because of saying goodbye to his past identity, nor just because of casualness, but a special certification.
As if aware of Karul's thoughts, Minister Thain chuckled and opened his hands:
"The top leaders of the Cross Union I established are just like the generals who uniformly dress at the Navy Headquarters. They will all wear such attire, and the key members will all be top strong men who have been resurrected from the dead..."
"You only see the Flying Big Pirate Golden Lion now. Maybe you can guess who else is there?"
"..."
The cold sweat that ran from his tailbone to his neck had completely soaked Karul's shirt. He only felt that his throat was dry and painful, and he was dizzy. He didn't know what to say at all.
…
Karul's reaction seemed normal to Porusalino, who controlled the golden lion puppet. Not to mention his little CP0 captain, even the five old stars in charge of the world government would be at a loss here.
That's right, the islands that have recently disappeared one after another along the Grand Line are actually the result of Porusalino's control of the golden lion puppet. He used the power of Piao Piao Fruit to lift those islands into the sky, as if he was going to build a flying fleet in its heyday.
As for the golden lion puppet, which seems to be resurrected from the dead, there is nothing to say in terms of technology. It is also made by Lilith and Dr. Vegapunk. It is a hybrid result of "Seraph" and "multi-ability user technology".
It’s just that there are two differences from Minister Thain’s puppet:
First, Minister Thain’s fruitful ability has only been shown to him so far. When he died, the Stop Fruit of his rebirth was not eaten by anyone, or the rebirth was not completed at all. In short, he is the only one with the Stop Fruit ability in the world.
After the death of the golden lion, the reborn Piaopiao Fruit was eaten by Major General Fina. The power of the Piaopiao Fruit of the Golden Lion Puppet comes from the direct adjustment and reverse tracing of the bloodline factors. Therefore, there are currently two people in the world. Possess the power of fluttering fruit.
Second, Minister Thain’s body was intact during his lifetime and until the last moment of his death, and there were no physical defects caused by genes. Therefore, his puppet created through genetic cloning and artificial human technology has nothing to say, it is exactly the same.
As for "Golden Lion" Shiji, not only did he have an extra rudder on his head because of the tragic defeat in the battle of Atvor, but his body was also severely mutilated because of his escape from Impel Down. As for genetically cloned artificial humans, it is obvious that they cannot clone these non-innate genetic points (especially the rudder), so the golden lion puppet today shows the posture of a sound body in his heyday. This feels like a bit of an accident, an unintentional one.
As for why Porusalino teamed up with Dr. Vegapunk to create the Golden Lion puppet after the Minister Thain puppet was created, in fact, the reason was largely to complete the lie.
After all, Porusalino announced the miracle of resurrection to the world through Minister Thain's puppet - if only one person came back from the dead, who would believe it? It is estimated that the World Government, which is worried about shaking its dominance, will soon refute the rumors and say that it is a well-prepared scam (in fact, the World Government is already doing this).
Therefore, Aaron, who appeared in the East China Sea during this period, claimed to be dead, but was actually Aaron's second-generation fish-man. Through a strange combination of circumstances, he helped Porusalino strengthen Minister Thain's persuasion to return from the dead. The appearance of the force - the golden lion puppet and more puppets of dead strong men will completely convince the world that Minister Thain and others have indeed mastered the power of resurrection from the dead.
In order to further deepen this impression, to satisfy his own evil taste, and to provide help for the big plan, Porusalino will join forces with Dr. Vegapunk to "resurrect" more well-known strong men. And put them in uniform "Akatsuki" uniforms to create "Penn X Path", which looks like a mysterious small group resurrected from the dead.
Enter the Sky Island Rally by shouting "Resurrection, my love!" (fog)
In short, the situation is clear and the purpose is clear, but Porusalino must appear confused and clueless at this moment - he has to wait for the five elder stars who are anxious because the Tianlong people have been kidnapped to take the initiative to deduce the clues. Then let the golden lion puppet shine on the stage and put on a big show.
From the East China Sea to Paradise, then to the New World, and finally to MarieJoia.
Those islands can’t be taken for nothing! It's pretty good to use it to test Mariejoia's defense strength!
The world noble Saint Sekerite who disappeared this time was called a "pig" by Porusalino, who controlled Minister Thain's puppet, but he was actually a relatively "tall" guy among the non-elite world nobles.
He may also have the thoughts and behaviors of those abnormal intelligent creatures, but at the very least, he really considers safety issues, rather than blindly believing that no creature in the world dares to disrespect him as a descendant of the Creator.
Therefore, when he set sail from Marigioa, he was accompanied by a large number of escorts and entourage. There were four steel ships specially customized for him by Carrera Company of the Seven Waters Capital.
The sailing along the way was actually quite smooth, but when they were about to reach the windless zone, the fleet encountered a big storm. Although the ships were all intact, for the sake of safety, Saint Sekerite agreed to the suggestion of the guard captain Karul, reduced the speed of the fleet, and sent out a small reconnaissance boat to look for any temporary islands.
Who knows, on the second night, the huge fleet suddenly disappeared, and only the small reconnaissance boat sent out survived.
Although some of the people on the four missing ships were just ordinary people who provided various services to the Tianlong people, a considerable number of the guards in black suits were not vegetarians. And the elite CP0s, including Karul, are also strong men who are proficient in seeing and hearing Haki and are proficient in Moon Steps. They also carry phone bugs with them.
However, even with this configuration, the four large steel ships carrying nearly a thousand people were lost without even a hint of news. No matter what the cause of this consequence is, it is not something that the investigators sent out to find the temporary island can handle - let alone the sea area near the windless zone, which is full of dangers. Considering that the area affected by the big storm is Big, looking for a fleet is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, after receiving the emergency report, the five elders decided to recall these "survivors" first, and arrived at Marigioa to learn more about the situation face to face in person before making plans.
Again, if there is really no way around the situation, at least we should make sure that the Draconian identity chip of Saint Secret is destroyed like Saint Stipede who died before.
Although they may not be responsible at all, and the Five Old Stars did not immediately express accountability. But after all, it was such a serious situation that the world's nobles were lost, so on the way back to Mariejoia, the investigators who were sent out to search for the island were also discussing and studying this incident on the ship, and sorted out as many things as possible Doubts and clues.
Therefore, when he came to Pangu City and entered the room of power, a certain ordinary CP0 and other Five Old Stars as a representative asked, and said respectfully and nervously:
"The night when the ship they were traveling on disappeared, I seemed to vaguely see something rising into the sky. It might be their ship, but it was too dark at the time and I couldn't see it clearly. I thought I was seeing it. wrong."
This CP0 is considered to be the person in charge of the investigators. He has a good sense of sight and color, and his eyesight is far better than ordinary people. It is reasonable that he can see some abnormalities in the dark night when the distance is unknown how many nautical miles.
"Lift off?"
The blond Five Old Star frowned in thought.
The bearded Five Elders, that is, Jaygo Lucia Satan, rubbed his chin with his index finger and thumb and murmured to himself:
"If what he saw is true, then there was something that caused the fleet to rise into the sky silently, without causing the guards around Sekerite to notice, or even allowing them to make contact."
"Such ability"
The sword-wielding five elders, the grandfather of Leander Palace, said this neither sad nor happy, and pushed up his glasses.
There was some silence among the powers that be. Although the ordinary CP0 had no clue, the five old stars were all top smart people.
There are not many people with the ability and people who can make objects rise into the sky quietly, let alone such a huge fleet, and quietly. With such conditions, even if we look at the 800 years since the establishment of the World Government, the selection In the end, there was only one golden lion, the "Flying Big Pirate".
If it were before Minister Thain's incident, the Five Old Stars might have dismissed this ridiculous idea immediately, but now...
"Could it be that guy's power?"
