Chapter 504

In the world of One Piece, strength is closely related to Battle.

If you don't fight for a long time, your strength will quickly decline, and Armament Haki and Observation Haki will quickly fade if you don't train them.

Golden Lion Shiki and Gekko Moria are typical examples.

At his peak, Gekko Moria dominated the Grand Line all the way. After entering the New World, he broke into the Country of Peace and confronted the Beast Pirates head-on. After a big fight, he was finally defeated by Hundred Beast Kaido. This incident also shocked the Country of Peace for a long time.

At that time, Gekko Moria's strength was undoubtedly extremely powerful. Although he was not as strong as Hundred Beast Kaido, he was also close to the level of Yonkō (Four Emperors).

But,

After being defeated by Hundred Beast Kaido, he lost his heart.

He was beaten back to the first half of the Grand Line and hid in the Florian Triangle Sea and began to eat and sleep. Twenty years passed in a flash and he couldn't even win against the young Luffy and almost became the weakest existence in the Shichibukai.

His Stamina, Haki, and ability have all declined to a very weak level.

The same is true for Golden Lion.

After escaping from prison, he hid on his island for twenty years, during which he did not practice and fight. Whether it was Haki or sword arts, they have fallen by several levels, so that he was finally defeated by Luffy, who had not yet mastered Haki, and became the shame of the three legends.

But the current Golden Lion is different. After he escaped from prison, he did not hide for a few years before he came out again and fought many times in the Grand Line and East Blue.

Even.

During this period, he also encountered Garp and finally escaped after fighting.

Although the current Golden Lion has lost his legs and his strength has dropped a lot, he is far less powerful than Whitebeard and Pirate King Roger at their peak, but he still has the Battle Power close to that of a Marine Admiral.

Aokiji has not yet been promoted to Headquarters Admiral and his strength is still a little immature. Although he can resist Golden Lion, he can't win.

"…"

Flying out of the island, Aokiji used Geppō (Moonwalk) and hovered in the sky.

After staring at Golden Lion from a distance, he did not continue to attack. Instead, he chose to retreat and quickly fell down.

It was already difficult for him to win. Now that he was forced out of the island by Golden Lion, using Geppō (Moonwalk) to fight Golden Lion who can fly freely by relying on Float-Float Fruit ability is undoubtedly a very stupid act and there is no chance of winning.

"Humph!"

Golden Lion didn't chase after him and just watched Aokiji leave. After a light snort, he flew toward the island and the Haki around his body gradually faded.

Aokiji originally sneaked into Golden Lion's island and planned to secretly report the situation to the Marine Headquarters and then gather the people of the Headquarters to deal with Golden Lion. He didn't expect to fail and be discovered by Golden Lion.

But it's not a waste of effort.

Because he left a 'Signal Den Den Mushi' on Golden Lion's island, which can continuously send positioning signals to the 'Receive Den Den Mushi'.

Through the positioning of this Den Den Mushi, the Marine can lock the location of Golden Lion's island and then make a plan to capture Golden Lion.

The subordinates recruited by Golden Lion in East Blue are just a group of mobs. A group of elite Marines from the Headquarters can be easily solved. The key problem is that Golden Lion's fleet and island have been flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

If they don't lock the position, they can't chase him at all.

Golden Lion was the most difficult one to deal with among the three legends of Whitebeard and Roger. The reason was that Golden Lion was the most slippery of the three and the most difficult to catch.

If it weren't for Roger, Golden Lion lost his mind and entered the Marine Headquarters alone, it would have been difficult for the Marine to catch Golden Lion until now.

Crash!!

Aokiji, who fell from a height of 10,000 meters, directly hit the sea and a large area of the sea froze in an instant.

Aokiji stood up from the ice and glanced at the endless sea in all directions, he grabbed his hair and said, "Which direction should I go …"

Because of the battle with Golden Lion, all the Den Den Mushi on him were destroyed and he lost the communication tool with the Marine.

"Forget it."

"Let's go that way first."

Aokiji looked at it for a moment and realized that he couldn't judge where he was in East Blue by observation, so he shook his head and chose a direction at random and moved forward quickly.

After a while.

At two o 'clock in front of him, there was a shadow of an island.

After Aokiji's eyes flashed slightly, he immediately changed his direction and went to the island. He kept running on the sea, and every step he took, the sea under his feet condensed into ice, holding up his body.

Whiz! Whiz!!!

After running quickly for a while, he finally arrived at the island and landed on the coast.

After glancing at the coast, he walked toward the inside of the island, ready to determine the location of the island and then identify where the nearest Marine branch was.

He had to contact the Headquarters as soon as possible.

Soon.

Aokiji came to a village not far from the coast, but what made his face a little bad was that the whole village was empty and there was almost no one in sight.

"Why is there no one …"

Aokiji grabbed his hair and showed a look of distress. He was not familiar with the East Blue. If he didn't find someone to ask, he couldn't judge where he was now.

Without stopping, Aokiji quickly left the empty town and continued to the depths of the island.

This island is not small.

There should be at least three or five villages and towns. It's impossible for all villages and towns to be empty and no one can be found.

After crossing a wasteland, another town appeared in front of him. This time, he didn't have to go there. At a glance, he saw a burning bonfire and a figure on the grass next to the town.

He didn't hesitate much.

Aokiji quickly rushed over.

But almost two seconds later, Aokiji's body stopped about 100 meters away from the bonfire, his eyes became fixed, and his whole body was fixed there.

He saw two familiar figures next to the bonfire. One of them had short silver hair and was sitting on the grass.

Beside him was a young girl with smooth black hair. She was conjuring many hands, each holding a bunch of skewers of meat and vegetables, grilling them above the bonfire.

After arranging the angle of the barbecue.

Robin turned his head and looked at Aokiji. A meaningful look flashed in his eyes, and he smiled politely and calmly:

"Long time no see, Lieutenant General Aokiji."

"…"

Aokiji's expression was a little stiff.

Maple sat there, watching this scene, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.

After so many years, Aokiji is still the same Aokiji, but Robin is no longer the same Robin.

The calm person became Robin.

The nervous person became Aokiji.

The only thing that hasn't changed much is that the scene in front of him still looks very harmonious.
