Watching Lan Luo's spaceship fly away, the Empress stood on the shore in a daze, as if something important was missing from her heart. Marigold, who was beside her, said, "Sister, Lord Lan Luo's spaceship has disappeared." The seductive voice came through; their rapidly growing power was not yet stable enough to control.
Sandersonia then added, "Sister, we should return to the palace now. Lord Lan Luo told us it's best not to appear in public until we've completely controlled the power we've gained." After speaking, she went to have someone prepare a vehicle, not wanting anyone to see them in their current state.
...
This time, Lan Luo didn't return to the Sabaody Archipelago. Instead, he opened a rune wormhole in mid-air, appearing directly at the entrance from the East Blue to the Grand Line. Their purpose for this trip was to bring Brook back to Laboon, fulfilling their promise to Crocus.
The rune wormhole connected to all the places Lan Luo had visited, allowing instant travel to any of them. Rayleigh, witnessing this, was also shocked, as it was a direct journey from the Calm Belt to the lighthouse.
After parking the future whale next to the lighthouse, Nami said, "Lan Luo, I didn't expect to reach the East Blue so quickly. Can we go home and play for a few days?"
"If you want to implicate your family," Lan Luo knew the World Government's shamelessness, and he didn't want his family to get hurt.
Nami then spoke, "Then let's take them to Sky Island. That's our territory; no one can find them there, and they can even help us build Sky Island."
"You truly are a black-hearted little cotton jacket," Lan Luo said, continuing Nami's words.
Kuina also spoke at this point, "That's a good idea, though my father might not go." She had also seen a dragon, so she vaguely guessed some things about her father.
Hearing them say this, Lan Luo felt he could go and ask.
Soon after docking, Brook went to Laboon's side, embracing the giant whale head. Both the man and the whale shed tears simultaneously; this was fifty years of waiting and guarding.
Seeing this, Nami and Kuina both rested their heads on Lan Luo's shoulders, one on each side, watching the heartwarming scene.
Rayleigh, seeing Crocus, who was about his age, went forward and gave him a hug: "Long time no see, Crocus."
"Vice-Captain, I didn't expect to see you so soon," Crocus also shed tears of emotion, perhaps seeing Laboon finally reunite with the Rumbar Pirates, or perhaps seeing Rayleigh again.
He also wanted to thank Lan Luo and the others, so he asked, "Why haven't Lan Luo and the others come down?"
Rayleigh gave Crocus a strange look and said, "Don't mind that monster. They can't control their power very well right now. Even Brook, who's on the same ship, hasn't seen them." Lan Luo and the others still couldn't control their abilities very well, and it would probably take a lot more time.
Lan Luo was relatively fine. With his naturally strong mental power and cultivation from different systems across several worlds, he had gained the most, so he still needed some time.
Nami and the others would need a relatively longer time. Lan Luo himself was both controlling and summarizing, while also explaining to the women how to control their powers.
There was still a big boss in the East Blue, and Lan Luo planned to take down Golden Lion Shiki. This way, he would not only get the Float-Float Fruit but also a large amount of IQ Grass, which could further enhance Chopper's rumble ball, and a lightning-wielding mount named Billy.
With so many creatures on the island, Lan Luo could also incorporate the genes of magical beasts, and control their minds with his skills, making them all serve him. Thinking of this, Lan Luo again felt that Golden Lion Shiki was a good person, not only giving him a Devil Fruit but also a large number of research materials.
Soon after, Rayleigh finished reminiscing and boarded the spaceship. Lan Luo also specifically went down for a moment, bidding farewell to Crocus from a distance.
"Rayleigh-san, shall we take you back first, or go witness Golden Lion Shiki's downfall?" Lan Luo asked Rayleigh at this point.
Rayleigh was truly strong; people with strong Haoshoku could truly be immune to the succubus's influence. If it were Doffy, he probably couldn't escape the Empress's gaze.
Rayleigh was also somewhat surprised to hear about Golden Lion Shiki from Lan Luo: "Young man, could you take me to see Golden Lion Shiki? He's an old friend, and I'd like to see him off, to see him one last time." He knew that anyone Lan Luo set his sights on was likely to meet a grim end, especially a notorious pirate like Golden Lion Shiki.
Lan Luo nodded, and the group set off again, searching for Golden Lion Shiki in the sky. Finally, three days later, several floating islands appeared before them. Everyone was shocked to see these islands. Was this the power of a legendary pirate? They had never imagined such a feat could be achieved with a powerful Devil Fruit ability.
"Nami, how about the Float-Float Fruit for you?" Lan Luo pulled Nami aside and said. He had considered who would be most suitable, and now that most of the people on the ship had abilities, Nami might be the only one suitable for this Devil Fruit.
Seeing Nami still hesitating, Lan Luo continued, "Then let's get the fruit first. We can now carve some floating magic circles around the island." He explained to everyone while carving the magic circles. Since there was no energy source, they could only rely on the effect of multiple magic circles to sustain it.
"Golden Lion" Shiki, a Float-Float Fruit user, the Floating Man, could float himself or objects in the air, earning him the nickname "Sky Pirate." However, his ability did not work on living beings other than himself. As the Captain of the Flying Pirate Crew and Admiral of the Golden Lion Pirate Fleet, he was a legendary great pirate on par with Gol D. Roger and "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate. He was also the first pirate in Impel Down's history to escape. He wielded two famous swords, "Sakura-ju" and "Kogarashi."
When everything was ready, Lan Luo arranged for Rayleigh and the women: "Nami, on the mountaintop to the east, there's a mutated duck that can shoot lightning and fly. You, Chopper, and Perona go together and try to subdue it. He can become our companion."
Then he looked at the remaining few and said, "The rest of us will go to Golden Lion Shiki's main hall. The spaceship will stay in mid-air. If there's danger, you can use the teleportation on your rings to return directly to the spaceship."
The group quickly drove the spaceship to the eastern mountaintop, teleporting Nami and her companions out. Then, they flew to the skies above Golden Lion Shiki's main base. Everyone teleported directly to the main gate of Golden Lion Shiki's palace.
Alarms suddenly blared, and people inside the palace rushed out. Some were pirates Lan Luo had seen on wanted posters, likely the Captains of Golden Lion Shiki's various fleets.
Lan Luo ignored them. As soon as they entered his hundred-meter range, all the pirates were petrified. Someone in the crowd shouted, "This is the Empress's ability! One of them is the Pirate Empress!" Looking at the charming women and men in the crowd, no one could look away. Their steps, which had wanted to retreat, involuntarily moved forward, and then they were petrified.
