Chapter 281 The Golden Lion Attacks (Ch 281)

With the addition of Oogawamaru and Kalina, the Black Dragon Pirates’ team has grown stronger again.
With the addition of a full-time chef, the group’s life at sea became much more comfortable. At least they didn’t have to eat the same food every day, and some snacks and desserts became daily accompaniments.
After several days of sailing, Kalina’s sailing ability was unanimously recognized by everyone. Not only did they not experience severe weather such as storms in the past few days, they also successfully arrived at a relatively prosperous country. They completed the supply of the few remaining daily necessities on the island.
After everyone recognized Kalina, Lugia decided to hold a welcome party for the two new members.
“Captain, Mate, is your father really the Lord of Destruction?”
Kalina, who had gotten to know Lugia and Rebecca’s personalities thoroughly over the past few days, completely let go of the nervousness in her heart, and asked about the authenticity of the siblings’ identities during the welcome ceremony.
Rebecca rolled her eyes speechlessly.
“It’s as if we lied to you so you could have a bowl of cold noodles.”
“Haha, isn’t this too unbelievable? That person actually let you out to sail on your own.”
Kalina scratched her head awkwardly and expressed her confusion.
“It has nothing to do with Dad. We ran away on our own.”
“Oh, is that really the case?”
Now Kalina had no doubts in her mind. Not to mention that Lugia and the face on the wanted poster for Allen were 80% similar, the brother and sister’s daily behavior was indeed full of childishness.
Lugia ignored Kalina and turned to look at Big Tongue Maru.
“Mr. Dashewan, after you finish sailing, you can move to Twilight City to settle down. The environment there is much more stable.”
“Thank you very much, Captain. I will go there after the trip is over.”
A smile appeared on Dashewan’s face. During the past few days of communication, he had heard the brother and sister introduce the lifestyle of Twilight City, and he had infinite yearning in his heart.
After the welcome ceremony, Lugia came to the bow and hoisted the fish. It can only be said that he is worthy of being Alan’s son. He even inherited his father’s air force skills and never gets tired of it.
Just as everyone was enjoying the warm sea breeze and sunbathing, Kalina suddenly came to the deck and exclaimed.
“Captain and everyone, please help pull the sail and turn the rudder. There is a huge black cloud ahead, and there may be a strong storm.”
“ah!”
With Kalina’s announcement, everyone instantly woke up from their slump and got busy. Mira came to the cockpit to help turn the rudder, Cavendish worked with Lugia to furl the sails, and Rebecca and Oogway closed the windows of all the rooms.
With everyone doing their job, the ship changed direction smoothly. Rebecca also came to the stern and stretched out her wings to add hurricane thrusters to the ship.
But no one noticed that a floating island ship was passing quickly overhead.
“Admiral, there is a pirate ship below that is turning around madly.”
“Hmm? What does this have to do with us?”
Golden Lion glared speechlessly at the younger brother who reported the incident, then turned to look at the meteorological researcher standing nearby.
“Hey, is there any bad weather ahead? Do we need to steer the pirate ship away?”
“Report to the Admiral, the instrument did not detect any abnormality ahead.”
After hearing the expert’s words, Golden Lion felt a little relieved.
After suffering a tragic defeat in the Battle of Et-Wol, the Golden Lion that escaped from Impel Down captured a group of meteorological research experts from all over the world to learn in advance about the extreme weather ahead on the route.
However, just as the scientist reported that everything was normal, the entire floating island began to shake violently.
“Admiral, there is a huge black cloud ahead, accompanied by storms and heavy rain.”
“What? Didn’t you just say there was nothing unusual?”
The Golden Lion’s face was filled with anger, but now was not the time to pursue responsibility, so he immediately used his ability to turn the bow of the floating island and head away from the storm.
The buildings and his men on the floating island were blown all over the place by the storm, and it was obvious that this time it brought him great losses again.
Half an hour later, the floating island escaped from the storm. Shiqi took out a flintlock from his arms and killed the scientist directly.
“Humph, you bunch of losers, if this happens again, he will be your fate.”
Several scientists nodded in agreement, not even daring to look at their dead colleague on the ground. They hurried to optimize the equipment. No one wanted to lose their life due to misjudgment of the weather.
Golden Lion retracted the smoking pistol, tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers, and raised his head after a moment.
“We caught up with the pirate ship just now. They suddenly changed direction. It must be that the navigator on the ship predicted the weather. People like this need to be won over.”
Golden Lion is really eager to find such special talents, because he has made huge mistakes when it comes to the weather.
“Yes, Admiral.”
The crew quickly determined the location of the Black Dragon and turned the rudder to catch up.
……..
“Haha, Kalina, you’re amazing. You saved me the trouble of running away with the boat.”
Lugia gave Kalina a thumbs up. In the past, when he encountered this kind of weather, he would transform into a black dragon and carry the boat out of the storm. It took a lot of effort. It was not as easy as it was today. He predicted the storm in advance and then changed direction.
Kalina gave Lugia a charming smile.
“Captain, you are too kind. This is what a navigator should do.”
“Haha, it’s your contribution, so it’s yours. The pile of gold in the corner of the warehouse belongs to you.”
“Really, Captain?”
Kalina’s eyes immediately turned into money symbols, and she looked at Lugia with admiration, and she became more convinced of her decision to stay.
Kalina rushed into the warehouse and started counting money. It was impossible for her to refuse. Why did she go out there? It was just for money, right?
After sailing for several hours, an uninhabited island appeared ahead. Lugia decided to go to the island to rest for a day, and no one raised any objections.
Just after landing on the island, Black Dragon and his group, who were planning to have a picnic, were shrouded in darkness.
“What’s going on? Is it going to rain again?”
Cavendish looked up in confusion and saw a giant floating island ship above his head.
“What’s this?”
Cavendish’s exclamation startled everyone and they all looked up.
“Is this… a ship?”
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, a figure slowly descended from the floating island to the island.
“Hahahahaha, little devils, who among you is a navigator?”
A domineering aura spread out, and everyone’s expressions suddenly became solemn. Lugia’s eyes darkened, and he also released his domineering aura.
Two red and black energies intertwined and rubbed against each other above the island.
The weakest ones, Oogawamaru and Kalina, had their backs soaked with sweat and took a few steps back unconsciously.
Lugia’s aura surprised Golden Lion. He didn’t expect to meet a young man with such aura in the first half of the Grand Line. After looking at Lugia carefully, he was surprised to find that the young man in front of him actually gave him a familiar feeling.
