Time was slowly fermenting in the brewing process. The smell of danger began to collide in the air, and the dark threads woven by fate quietly intertwined.
Standing under the sea and looking up at the clouds above, it was difficult to know whether the starlight in the night sky came from the vast universe or the occasional flashing light of a floating island.
Late at night, the hazy dark clouds and darkness merged into one.
In the floating island, the factory was still operating day and night. Dr. Inago was dressed like a funny clown, and his mouth was letting out strange laughter. The air was filled with the fragrance that he had meticulously prepared.
Golden Lion Shiki always had the habit of patrolling his country at night. His javelin-like steps were nailed to the ground, making a "clang clang clang" sound. The rudder that was embedded in his head reflected a black silhouette on the ground, and it looked a little gloomy and scary.
He walked through the core area of the factory, and his eyes gently swept across the iron door that stored various antidotes and information. The iron door was made with special materials, forged with tempered steel and mixed with seastone fragments to ensure that this door was difficult to break through by force.
In the middle of the door, there was a cat's eye that flashed with a red light. Golden Lion Shiki widened his right eye and moved closer. The scanning light caught his retina, and with a click, the iron door was opened.
There were countless frames in the room, and the frames were neatly stacked with countless needles and test tubes. Inside the test tubes, there was a sparkling green liquid. William stood behind Shiki. He didn't follow Shiki in. Instead, he stood outside the door and stared at the frames without blinking.
Green test tubes, crystal clear liquid, and in the middle of the liquid floated a fingernail-sized fungus block. The fungus block looked like a living thing, but also like a dead thing.
"This is the antidote, William!" The Golden Lion Shiki shook the test tube in his hand and said to William with a mysterious smile on his face, "The antidote that everyone who has been infected with the poison yearns for even in their dreams is stored here."
William swallowed his saliva, and his eyes moved away from the test tube with difficulty. He looked at those metal frames, and there was a crisscrossing wire wrapped around them. The end of the wire was connected to a device that made the second hand move.
Tick tock … tick tock …
The device was wrapped in a metal box with a timer on it. Golden Lion grinned. He brushed aside the sparse blond hair on top of his head. His mane-like hair covered the scar on the rudder. Next to the scar was a black magnetic sheet that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
He tapped it lightly with his index finger and said to William, "The scar left behind by that failure, this humiliation has been nailed to me for too long. Even Dr. Indian couldn't remove it, because once it was removed, I would most likely die!"
"Legends can be defeated once, but not twice!" Golden Lion Shiki rubbed the black magnetic sheet with his fingernails. Half of the magnetic sheet was also pierced into his skull. "I asked Dr. Indian to insert this magnetic sheet into my skull. It's connected to my brainwaves. The other end of the brainwaves will be transmitted back here through this special magnetic sheet!"
William's gaze moved back and forth between Golden Lion Shiki's head and the timer's device. His heart kept sinking, and he had an extremely bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, Golden Lion Shiki's next words made his premonition come true. "Once I fail again, it means that I will inevitably walk towards death. This place will explode!"
Golden Lion Shiki made an explosive gesture. "Everything here will be blown to pieces in an instant. Everything will disappear with my death."
"The antidote, the floating island, the kingdom that I spent decades to build, will all be destroyed together." A ferocious and cruel smile appeared on Golden Lion Shiki's face. "And you, you people who have been infected by the poison will become the gift that I leave to this world."
"You may not die immediately, but every time you breathe, you release the poison. You are like a moving source of infection, escaping to every corner of this world with your last breath until you complete your mission!"
Every word was like a sharp steel knife piercing into William's heart. The so-called completion of the mission was, in fact, the buffer agent that suppressed the poison had finally lost its effect. Their hearts stopped beating, and their entire bodies were infected and turned into green moss.
If Golden Lion Shiki died, the gift that he left behind would slowly drag this world into hell. How ruthless!
William felt like ten thousand alpacas were running through his heart. He had been suppressing the curse in his heart for a long time. He fiercely gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "You won't fail again!"
"Don't be nervous!" Golden Lion Shiki put the needle and test tube back on the frame and walked out. The iron door behind him closed, blocking William's reluctant gaze. He patted William's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Every subordinate that I trust and have high hopes for, I will bring them here once to inspire their fighting spirit!"
William was speechless.
Encourage my * ss!
"We need to win this war because there is no retreat behind us!" A terrifying aura exploded from Shiki's body as he said resolutely, "I've lost my legs, I've lost my thick hair, and I've endured the humiliation for decades, all for the sake of reawakening this ocean's fear of the Golden Lion Shiki!"
"A legend cannot tolerate a second failure!" Golden Lion Shiki's beard was wild, and his turbid eyes were like two bayonets piercing William's heart. "I need you to win this war for me and turn East Blue into a paradise for pirates and the headquarters of Fei Tian Admiral. When everything is settled, you will get everything you deserve."
William's back was soaked with cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, the great Golden Lion Shiki will definitely win this war."
Golden Lion Shiki nodded with satisfaction. He grabbed William's arm and flew out of the factory to the edge of the floating island. Directly below the island, countless pirate ships with swaying banners covered the sea.
The whistling cold wind cut through the skin, and Golden Lion Shiki's voice echoed in William's ears, "I have adopted all your suggestions. Now, I need you to lead the outer fleet composed of these pirate groups to defeat East Blue's Navy!"
A few days ago, William proposed to Golden Lion Shiki that they should strike first and destroy East Blue's Marine Club. Golden Lion Shiki did not express his opinion at that time, but now he knew the answer.
William's face was cloudy, and his cold and numb fists slowly clenched. He saw the seemingly endless pirate groups spreading out on the sea. All the pirate ships had two kinds of flags. One was the flag of their own pirate group, and the other was the flag of Fei Tian Admiral.
"Destroying the Marine Club, this is something that will wake me up laughing in my dreams!" William squeezed out a smile and replied loudly to Golden Lion Shiki.
