Seeing this, Rayleigh thought to himself, "If this ability is used in a group battle, it would be interesting. It's completely overwhelming. The most interesting thing is that the World Government still doesn't know about this information."
The group quickly passed through the front hall and entered the main hall. At this moment, Golden Lion sat on a throne-like seat at the top, his golden hair, long enough to reach the ground, resembling a lion's mane. Additionally, Shiki's sideburns and beard were also golden, and his sideburns were very long. A ship's rudder was impaled in Shiki's head; if it were removed, it would be life-threatening due to how deep it was embedded. He looked down at everyone and said, "Rayleigh, are you with them? Are you here to oppose me?" He only cared about Rayleigh; he didn't pay much attention to the 2 billion bounty.
Rayleigh shrugged and said, "I have no intention of fighting. I just came to see an old friend."
Hearing this, Golden Lion thought of his past life, of that man, Pirate King Gol D. Roger.
"Kid, who do you think I am? I am the Sky Governor, Golden Lion Shiki! Don't think you can talk to me just because you've controlled a few small fry." Golden Lion Shiki grew more and more agitated as he spoke, and by the end, the power of his Float-Float Fruit involuntarily unleashed.
Golden Lion slammed his hand on the ground: "Lion's Threat: Royal Palace Earth Scroll." The entire palace seemed to come alive, then all transformed into lions, pouncing towards the group.
Lan Luo said to Kuina next to him, "Let me handle it. You need to protect everyone. Only I can fight him. You take care of these lions on the ground."
Before Lan Luo could fly up to find Shiki, Kuina drew her wado ichimonji and unleashed six consecutive slashes, causing the pouncing lions to vanish in mid-air.
Lan Luo also transformed into lightning and appeared directly in front of Golden Lion. He drew the sandai kitetsu from his waist, its blade instantly blackening, and delivered a flying slash towards Golden Lion, revealing the strength of a Great Swordsman.
Seeing the flying sword energy, Golden Lion also instantly dodged. The two then became entangled in battle. Unlike Luffy's cheat-like fighting style, Lan Luo didn't use Haoshoku to bully Golden Lion; the two only engaged in a fierce aerial sword fight.
When Lan Luo sensed a large mass of seawater slowly flying over in the air, it seemed this old man was about to play a dirty trick. Lan Luo no longer held back, directly using his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Through the Succubus's control ability and the Mangekyo's control ability, he made Shiki momentarily freeze in the air for a second. Using his ability, he instantly flashed in front of Shiki and delivered a single slash. And just like that, Golden Lion Shiki's pirate career came to an end.
If it were Golden Lion at his peak, he wouldn't have been so easily controlled, but the problem was that the current Golden Lion had lost all his fighting spirit and couldn't even use his Conqueror's Haki.
He took the Sakura-ju and Koku from his feet, opened a rune wormhole, and entered the ship's interior. Not long after, Lan Luo emerged holding a white cloud-patterned pear—this was the Float-Float Fruit.
Lan Luo did not deprive Shiki of his Devil Fruit in front of Rayleigh; this was a precaution. Of course, they might guess later, but that would be a long time from now.
When he reappeared, Lan Luo held up a coffin and presented it to Rayleigh, then handed the coffin over to Rayleigh without further inquiry.
Rayleigh, seeing the corpse of his old rival from decades ago, was filled with emotion. After burying Golden Lion on the floating island, he no longer concerned himself with it.
At this moment, Lan Luo also transformed into a bolt of lightning and appeared in Dr. Indigo's laboratory. He didn't see Indigo's figure; perhaps he had turned into stone during the previous group battle.
Lan Luo drew the sandai kitetsu from his waist and unleashed a slash, causing the entire "IQ" laboratory to fly into the air. Then, Lan Luo used his ring space to collect the entire laboratory. It must be said that the Seamless Extension Charm was truly useful; in addition to its large space, it could also be used for farming after adding weather charms.
When Lan Luo returned to the airship, everyone else had already returned to the ship. Rayleigh had gone back to his room, clearly a bit downcast.
"Lan Luo, we found Billy! He's so amazing! Not only can he fly, but he can also generate electricity!" Nami excitedly exclaimed.
Seeing Billy looking dejected between Nami and Chopper, he couldn't imagine what had happened. The current Nami was no longer as weak as she was in the original story.
"That's really impressive, Chopper. I got 'IQ.' Let's go study it in a bit. You can look at Billy's evolution direction; this is a positive evolution direction. I've also collected all of Dr. Indigo's research data." Lan Luo also wanted to use IQ's ability to make Chopper evolve once more.
Chopper also felt Captain's concern for him at this moment. Besides Hiruluk and Kureha, Captain was the third closest person in his heart.
Thinking of this, Chopper began to float and sway, smiling and tsundere-ly saying, "Who wants your concern, you jerk!" He even danced as he spoke.
"Lan Luo, aren't we going to do anything about this island?" Robin spoke up at this moment.
Lan Luo thought for a moment and said, "No need to worry. It will slowly descend when the magic array runs out of energy. Nami, are you interested in the Float-Float Fruit?"
Everyone wasn't surprised that Lan Luo could obtain the Float-Float Fruit. They all looked at Nami, who was next to Billy, waiting for her decision.
"If I eat it, will Lan Luo also have the same Devil Fruit ability?" Nami asked at this moment.
Lan Luo didn't hide it, saying, "Yes, we signed a contract, and I have all of your abilities."
"Then I'll eat it. I think this way I can help Brother Lan Luo more," Nami said without any hesitation.
"It's fine if you don't eat it. Take some time to consider before answering me. Actually, I'm still researching multi-Devil Fruit abilities and the reason for immunity to seawater," Lan Luo explained to them the future development direction of Devil Fruits.
"Can that really be done?" Kuina asked at this moment. She was quite curious. Although the Mythical Zoan had compensated for her shortcomings, it also had a fatal weakness: seawater.
"That's definitely fake. How can you believe such a thing?" Perona said, hands on her hips. Having become familiar with everyone, she began to contradict them.
Mikita then spoke, "I believe what Captain says. Ever since we got on the ship, everything Captain said has come true."
"Alright, let's go back to Sabaody Archipelago first, get the information and the Log Pose, and then we'll talk," Lan Luo could only interrupt their argument.
This time, returning to Sabaody Archipelago, there was no need for super-speed navigation. They directly opened a rune wormhole and soon appeared in the waters outside Sabaody. Rayleigh, seeing this, was once again amazed by this airship. This was definitely not technology from the Pirate World.
As before, they parked the airship above Shakky's Bar, and the group once again entered the bar.
"Oh my, you're back so soon?" Shakky was also very curious how they reached Sabaody so quickly. Elder Nyon of Amazon Lily had just said Lan Luo had left, and it should take at least several days to reach Sabaody.
Lan Luo didn't want to talk to her much about the airship; Rayleigh would tell her, but she would definitely keep it a secret: "I wonder if the information and Log Pose I asked for are ready?"
"So heartless? Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law are both somewhat famous pirates. The difference is one is from North Blue and the other from South Blue. Recently, both of them are preparing to set off for the Grand Line. You can wait at the Grand Line entrances in different sea areas, and I believe it won't be long before you find them. And these are the permanent Log Poses you wanted. I put a lot of effort into getting these Log Poses, young man," Shakky said, smoking, explaining the difficulty of obtaining the information.
