I’m the suit thug from the Rocks Pirates! Chapter 159

“In the almost four years I’ve been in West Blue’s Ohara, do you feel like the wine there has become increasingly flavorless?”

“I knew you’d return to the New World eventually. Over the years, I’ve collected a lot of fine wines.”

“Let’s have a good, hearty drink!”

Hearing this, Luo Ye couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, a smile appearing on his face.

This Golden Lion fellow, it seems he’s becoming more and more sensible.

It wasn’t in vain that the previous battle changed his mindset!

For the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates, holding a banquet was a common occurrence.

Even for the flimsiest of reasons, Whitebeard and Roger would very likely throw a party.

However, for the Golden Lion Fleet, also one of the Three Emperors, such a situation was very rare.

After all, in Whitebeard’s eyes, the members on his ship were his closest sons.

The members of the Roger Pirates were also partners to Roger, to whom he could entrust his life.

Only Golden Lion was different.

In Golden Lion’s eyes, the members of his fleet were merely subordinates helping him achieve his goals.

How could the dignified Three Emperors of the New World, the World’s Strongest Swordsman, drink heartily with his subordinates?

Only Luo Ye and Whitebeard, a handful of people, could be considered on the same level as Golden Lion.

Now that Luo Ye had just returned to the New World and sought him out, Golden Lion, who hadn’t seen him in years, couldn’t possibly let Luo Ye leave just like that.

For Luo Ye, who possessed the power of water, while he could taste the deliciousness of fine wine, getting drunk was almost impossible.

After completely draining all the fine wine Golden Lion had saved over the years, Luo Ye had no reason to stay any longer.

Moreover, the news of his battle with Golden Lion had probably spread throughout the New World.

Once the Marines learned of Golden Lion’s location, they naturally couldn’t continue to let him roam free.

After all, the Marines absolutely did not want to see Golden Lion restore his fleet again.

Just as Luo Ye and Robin were about to leave the island, Robin suddenly waved to Golden Lion and said sweetly,

“Goodbye! Don’t brag next time we meet!”

Watching the ship carrying Luo Ye and Robin slowly sail away, the smile on Golden Lion’s face gradually disappeared.

Next, his Golden Lion Fleet would face the Marine’s encirclement.

Once he successfully escaped, he would restore the Golden Lion Fleet to its former glory at the fastest speed.

By then, he would make the Marines, Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido pay a heavy price again!

[ 124] Robin: Lone Red? Another one who got beaten up!

Just as Luo Ye had expected, the battle between him and Golden Lion had spread throughout the New World.

It should be known that the reason the Marines were able to achieve such great results in the God Valley War was largely due to the spies hidden within the Rocks Pirates.

If the Marines hadn’t known about Rocks’s plan beforehand, how could they have successfully stopped his scheme?

Because of this, the Marines had always continued to plant spies within the various major forces in the New World.

Perhaps, with the exception of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates, every major force in the New World had Marine spies!

Normally, they might not show any special signs.

But if Golden Lion and his crew made any unusual moves, the Marines would receive the news immediately.

Even when Luo Ye had just arrived on the island where Golden Lion was located, the Marines had already contacted that person and obtained Golden Lion’s location from them.

If they hadn’t been worried that Luo Ye would disrupt the operation, the Marines would probably have already dispatched Marine Admirals to encircle the Golden Lion Fleet.

In the Fleet Admiral’s office, Kong’s expression was unusually grave, clearly because the news he had just received was too shocking.

As old adversaries, the Marines were very clear about Golden Lion’s strength.

They were also even clearer about the level Golden Lion’s swordsmanship had reached.

Yet, this very Golden Lion was defeated by Luo Ye using only swordsmanship.

Wasn’t this the most ironic thing?

Didn’t this best represent the current strength of that monster, Luo Ye?

Thinking of this, Kong showed a look of disdain on his face.

When the Five Elders learned that Luo Ye had come to the New World, they actually wanted him to send a Marine Admiral to test Luo Ye’s current strength.

If it weren’t for his position, the extremely short-tempered Kong would probably have already cursed them out.

Those bastards, the Five Elders, hadn’t understood the situation last time.

They insisted on having the Marines apprehend Luo Ye.

As a result, to satisfy the Five Elders’ conjectures, the Marines sacrificed thousands of Marine soldiers’ lives.

Now, after several years of hard work, they had finally trained the new recruits from that large-scale world conscription.

Those bastards were still thinking of sending the Marines to their deaths against Luo Ye?

If Kong had really agreed to the Five Elders’ command, then he might as well not be the Marine Fleet Admiral and just be their dog!

Kong scoffed and shook his head, looking at the people in the office and speaking,

“That Luo Ye fellow has already left that island.”

“Golden Lion Shiki is still staying on that island.”

“To ensure we can capture all the remaining members of the Golden Lion Fleet in one go, all three of you Marine Admirals will participate in this operation!”

“Sengoku will still be the overall commander of the operation.”

“Sengoku, no matter what, you must kill that bastard Shiki this time!”

“Yes, Fleet Admiral Kong!”

Sengoku agreed with a solemn expression.

As the “Strategist,” Sengoku was even clearer than Kong about what it would mean if Golden Lion was given a chance to recuperate.

With his identity as one of the Three Emperors of the New World, there would be a continuous stream of pirates wanting to join his Golden Lion Fleet.

This had been proven ever since Golden Lion saw through the Marine’s plan.

Kong and Sengoku, along with the other high-ranking Marine officials in the office, tacitly avoided mentioning Luo Ye.

In their opinion, since Luo Ye had brought his daughter to the New World, it meant that Luo Ye’s purpose for coming was completely different from Bullet’s.

He probably had no intention of causing trouble for the Marines and the World Government this time.

Since that was the case, the Marines naturally couldn’t provoke Luo Ye, this Emperor.

Since in Luo Ye’s eyes, the New World had become a good place for him to travel with his daughter, then for now, they should let Luo Ye and his daughter enjoy their trip.

The Marines would continue to encircle the remaining forces of the Golden Lion Fleet!

Unfortunately, what the people in the office didn’t know was that after Luo Ye left that island, the Golden Lion Fleet also didn’t stay.

Instead, they chose to leave directly.

Golden Lion, whose mindset had also undergone a great change, had deeply hidden his pride.

The few spies planted by the Marines had been successfully ferreted out by Golden Lion.

If it had been the extremely arrogant Golden Lion of the past, perhaps upon learning that the Marines were about to come and encircle him, he would not only not leave but would deliberately wait for the Marines to arrive.

This would be to successfully break out of the Marine’s encirclement and showcase the power of him, one of the New World’s Three Emperors.

However, the changed Golden Lion didn’t hesitate at all.

After directly killing those few spies, he left the island.

This led the Marines to believe that Golden Lion had not left, and their large-scale operation was destined to fail.

Moreover, after seeing the corpses of the spies they had planted on the island, the Marines would search for Golden Lion’s whereabouts even more frantically!

Of course, once Golden Lion truly wanted to hide, it wouldn’t be that easy for them to find him either.

On the Oro Jackson.

“Roger, that Luo Ye fellow has really stirred up quite a commotion again!”

Rayleigh exclaimed, drinking his wine.

He had long known that Luo Ye’s strength wouldn’t stop growing just because he left the New World.

But he never expected him to become this strong.

Before this, no one had ever mentioned Luo Ye’s swordsmanship.

Most people didn’t even believe Luo Ye used swordsmanship.

Yet, this was his first true display of swordsmanship, and he successfully defeated Golden Lion and snatched his title of World’s Strongest Swordsman.

Although the title of World’s Strongest Swordsman had no meaning to Luo Ye, this Emperor, to be defeated by Luo Ye in the very aspect of swordsmanship, which he had always been so proud of…
