Chapter 130: An unexpected gain, Golden Lion's younger brother.
Her target was the port right in front of her. After all, the first direction that people who were escaping would run to was definitely the port, because there were ships there.

So Victoria planned to destroy the ships in the port first, leaving the people in Mogu Town with no way to escape.

As for the place where Mont Blanc Kulik was behind the island, it was not within Delta's hunting range this time.

Li De still admires a man like Kulik who is dedicated to clearing the grievances of his ancestors.

As Delta and the other girls landed on the island, the sounds of gunfire, shouting, begging for mercy, and wailing from the Demon Valley town resounded over the sky of Gaya Island.

At the port of Mogu Town, accompanied by several huge slashes with a hundred times the amplification, all the ships in the port were cut into several large pieces in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the ammunition depot was affected and caused a strong explosion. The flames and thick smoke directly enveloped the entire port, and for a moment, the entire Mogu Town seemed like the end of the world.

After a while, the noisy sound gradually faded away, and Kalina controlled the Pure White Knight to move closer.

After docking the Pure White Knight, although Kalina was a little anxious, she still accompanied Reed and Claire and walked towards the Magic Valley Town.

At this moment, several women have gathered in the town. Except for Delta and Victoria, there is a living person lying next to Beta, Ipsilon and Zeta.

"What's the situation with these three people?" Li De asked as he approached.

"Master, the person next to me claims to be a member of the Don Quixote family under Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea." Beta spoke first.

"'Hyena Bellamy' is just a peripheral member who was allowed by Doflamingo to borrow the name. He is useless." Reed took a look at Bellamy with a bruised face and shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Beta slashed Bellamy's neck with a sword, not giving him any chance to argue.

"Master, this person is from the World Government CP organization." Zeta said immediately.

"Convey my desire for a spot among the Seven Warlords of the Sea to your superiors," Li De said immediately.

"Yes, Lord Sid, I will report your intention." The man with a burnt smell nodded quickly and said.

He was afraid that if he answered slowly, he would become useless.

After all, he experienced the fate of useless people up close and personal.

"Contact us now. I want to get your reply as soon as possible." Li De said immediately.

"I don't have a Den Den Mushi with me, so I have to go to the base!" The man with a burnt smell all over his body immediately replied.

"Zeta, you go with them and tell me when the other party responds." Li De immediately ordered.

"Yes, master!" Zeta said and followed.

"Master, I captured this man who claimed to be a subordinate of the legendary pirate Golden Lion. The pirate group he belongs to is heading to the Golden Lion's territory to form an alliance with it." Ipsilon spoke only after the two men left.

"Golden Lion Shiki? Really?" Li De asked the man who was also beaten badly.

"Really? We have received the invitation. After that, we have to drink sworn brotherhood wine with Boss Golden Lion and become his younger brothers." The man nodded quickly.

"Where is the golden lion?" Li De asked immediately.

"In a certain secret place, only a permanent compass can indicate the direction," the man continued.

"Ipsilon, where is the permanent pointer in his hand?" Li De asked immediately.

"It has been confiscated." Ipsilon said as he took out the permanent pointer he had obtained.

"Then he is useless." Li De said immediately.

"You" the man just opened his mouth, but before he could even say a word of begging for mercy, his head flew off.

"Call out all the living people. Anyone who doesn't come out will die!" Li De said loudly.

"Yes, master!" Upon hearing this, the women immediately dispersed and called out the surviving store owners and employees.

After a while, all the hundred or so people still alive in Mogu Town gathered in the square.

"I have three things to say. Listen carefully if you don't want to die. First, use your connections to spread the news that I don't want anyone to come to Mogu Town to disturb me. Whoever comes before I leave will die! Second, clean up this bloody place, and then clean up the best room in the best hotel. I want to stay there for a few days.

Finally, your lives are bought with your money. Just like the rules of Whiskey Peak, I will take all the money and only take the supplies that can be carried. I believe that the people who are still alive in Whiskey Peak can prove my credibility, so as long as you are obedient, you can survive. Does anyone have any questions? "

"No, no!" Everyone waved their hands quickly.

After all, the broken limbs around them reminded them of what would happen to those who disobeyed.

Facing such a brutal pirate group, it is a blessing to be alive.

"Then just follow my orders!" Li De said and waved his hands.

The people who had gathered quickly dispersed and began to follow Li De's orders.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Zeta finally returned with a reply from the World Government.

"What does the World Government say?" Reed asked Zeta.

"Master, the reply from there said that they can give you a chance, but you need to prove that the Masked Pirates have the strength to suppress a group of pirates and make a name for themselves." Zeta answered slowly.

"Beta, go and tell Kalina to get ready for sailing. We will set off tomorrow." Li De immediately ordered Beta.

"Yes, master!" Beta answered and walked outside.

"Sid, isn't the record pointer full yet?" Claire asked in confusion.

"My dear sister, this time we only need a permanent compass for our course." Li De said with a smile.

"Master, are we going to hunt the legendary pirate Golden Lion?" Delta asked sensitively.

"Ah, the target this time is him." Li De nodded and said.

"But master, can we achieve our goal by hunting him? I asked Kalina and some people in Magic Valley Town during the day, and very few people have heard of the legendary pirate Golden Lion." Ipsilon said with a little concern.

"Ipsilon, the final judgment lies with the World Government. As the first man who is widely known to have escaped from the underwater prison Impel Down, no matter how much time has passed, even if many people in the world now don't know this name, the World Government will never forget him." Reed replied with a smile.

Because he was sure that as long as he completed the hunt, the World Government would definitely take the initiative to help him build momentum.

Many people no longer know the name of Golden Lion Shiki?

This is not a problem. Wouldn't it be solved by having the Morgans' World Economic News do a special issue on the Golden Lion?

Fame is too easy for the world government to manipulate.

What the Five Elders really need is strong combat power.

Just look at the list of the first Seven Warlords of the Sea and you will know.

Crocodile fought Douglas Barrett to a draw, then challenged Whitebeard. Although he lost one hand, he managed to survive.

Although Gekko Moriah did not challenge Whitebeard, he also went to Wano Country to challenge Kaido. Although he was the only one who escaped alive at that time, he also proved his strength.

Bartholomew Kuma overthrew a kingdom in the South China Sea, and then single-handedly destroyed a naval fleet reinforcement brought in by the former king. Don Quixote Flamingo was already remarkable for being able to escape from the hands of the chief staff officer Crane again and again, and he also met the standard for having the domineering color domineering.

Not to mention Dracule Mihawk, who is a strong man who was able to fight with Red-Haired Shanks for days and nights and finally ended in a draw.

Boa Hancock's devil fruit ability is unique, and the Nine Snakes' Haki is also quite impressive, otherwise she wouldn't have been offered a bounty of 8000 million berries the first time and then been chosen.

As for the remaining Jinbei, his strength is unquestionable, but he has never had an outstanding record in battles before. He relies more on racial relations. After all, the Five Elders also said that the reason for inviting him was to strengthen the harmony among races.

Of course, among these seven people, there must be some whose strength is inflated, such as Moonlight Moriah whose strength has declined.

This is probably the reason why the Five Elders invited Ace, who had just debuted, in the past two years.

After all, Ace is the son of Pirate King Roger. This alone is enough to intimidate others, not to mention that he is also the user of the Natural-Type Flame-Flame Fruit.

So Li De proved his strength, and the best way to prove it was to take the head of a famous pirate.

In fact, Marshall D. Teach also thought so in the original work, but his vision was too good, and the two people he targeted were of great significance to the World Government.

Whether it is Monkey D. Luffy or Podocus D. Ace, they are both people that the World Government wants to get rid of as soon as possible. Therefore, Teach was able to capture Ace and take the position of the Seven Warlords of the Sea vacated after Crocodile was captured.

In fact, Reed didn't know one thing, that is, the World Government expressed its intentions earlier, and if Luffy's bounty order really appeared, he might be assigned a capture mission.

At this moment, it has only been a few days since Luffy defeated the fishman Arlong in the East China Sea, and the bounty applied for by Rat is still under review.

In other words, the current Monkey D. Luffy has not yet entered the World Government's sight.

He was really taken seriously during the Rogue Town incident, when Dorag appeared and stopped Smoker.

That's why Li De is able to choose freely now. Then in the first half of the Grand Line, are there any pirates with better cost-effectiveness than Golden Lion?

No!
As a member of the Rocks Pirates, he was as famous as Roger in the original pirate era. In addition, he successfully escaped from the Undersea Prison. The older generation knew the existence of this flying pirate.

In terms of fame, it is definitely enough.

Looking at his strength again, in the movie he couldn't even beat Luffy who hadn't awakened his domineering aura, which is enough to prove that he has weakened a lot compared to his peak period.

Even though the fighting power is obviously unbalanced in the movie, for a 70-year-old man with a severe head injury and missing legs, how much of his peak strength do you expect him to retain?

This is where Li De feels that the Golden Lion has the best value for money.

"I see. Then, master, are you going to use any special methods to hunt the golden lion this time?" Ipsilon was asking Li De whether he wanted to surround and kill the lion.

Li De certainly knew what Ipsilon meant, but he shook his head and said, "There's no need to surround and kill him. He doesn't have the strength to do so now."

"BOSS, leave it to me!" Delta immediately recommended himself.

"My dear sister, can I ask you for help this time?" Reed shook his head and then looked at Claire and asked.

"Of course, Sid, I will deal with this old guy cleanly and neatly." Claire was very happy when she heard that.

Because she just needed enough great achievements to upgrade, and her caring brother was able to give her this opportunity, how could she not be happy?

After becoming a dragon, Claire's upgrade feats were much more difficult to accumulate than those of others.

For example, when upgrading from Lv.2 to Lv.3, Claire hunted a sea king over a kilometer in length on the sea surface in the calm zone with the help of a group of people, and only then did she complete the feat required for the upgrade.

After Ipsilon ate the Slippery Fruit, Delta is the only one who can dive into the bottom of the calm zone to find a suitable sea king.

It is not easy to find a sea king that suits Claire's level, so since it is rare to come across a suitable strong man like the Golden Lion, Li De naturally plans to leave it to Claire.

Of course, no one knows whether killing the golden lion will allow Claire to accumulate great achievements.

The only thing Reed could be sure of was that Claire would definitely learn something from fighting with the Golden Lion.

You have to know that Golden Lion is a genuine veteran strong man with rich experience in fighting others.

After Li De decided on the personnel to fight, the other women had no intention of speaking anymore.

The next morning, Reed and others set off on the Pure White Knight towards the secret realm of Vermeulle on the Grand Line.

Seven days later, in a sea area that deviated from the route of the Grand Line, a floating island in the sky appeared in the sight of Li De and his party from afar.

"It's really hard to believe if you don't see it with your own eyes. Is this the miracle created by the power of the Float-Float Fruit? It would be great if we could obtain the powers of two devil fruits." Victoria was the first to exclaim.

On the Pure White Knight, the only one who couldn't understand what Victoria meant was probably Kalina.

As for everyone else, they all knew what Victoria meant.

After all, once the power of the Float-Float Fruit is brought back to the real world, a miracle land can be created in minutes.

By then, as long as public opinion is guided well and there are visible miracles, it will not be impossible to replace the church.

"Victoria, do you regret it?" Beta asked.

"No, I just feel it's a pity." Victoria shook her head and said.

She was very satisfied with the power of the multiplication fruit. In comparison, the power of the Float-Float fruit was more reflected in religious significance. Even if she had another chance to choose again, Victoria would still choose the power of the multiplication fruit.

Who says the uses of this fruit ability are too wide?

Currently in the pirate world, although Victoria has shown her prowess, she has not yet fully demonstrated her value.

Once we return to the real world, Victoria's true value will be revealed.

Apart from anything else, when the Siyue Chamber of Commerce expands and faces the problem of insufficient supply, the multiplication fruit will be able to have an alternative miraculous effect.

A hundredfold increase in material output is of strategic significance.

"BOSS, otherwise, Delta will have to use the ability of the Float-Float Fruit." Delta couldn't help but speak.

"Delta, not to mention that after killing the Golden Lion, the chance of obtaining the Floating Fruit is not high. It is only possible. And even if you can get it, I don't want you to change your mind because of Victoria's words." Li De shook his head directly.

There is actually no need to be so radical in the attack on the Diabolos Cult.

The ultimate goal of the Shadow Court is to lurk in the shadows of Shadow Hunt and uproot the Diabolos Cult, rather than confront them head-on.

Therefore, even if he obtained the power of the Float-Float Fruit, Li De did not agree to use it in a religious way.

After eliminating all the religious stuff, a very strange fact comes to the fore, that is, the ability of the Float-Float Fruit can basically not be used in any other way except to increase the attack of the user himself.

Because the real world is a world dominated by magic, there is teleportation magic for transporting personnel, and magic bags for transferring materials, which not only saves time but also saves effort, and directly weakens the powerful mobility of the Float-Float Fruit in the pirate world by more than 90%.

That's why Li Decai doesn't care so much about the Float-Float Fruit. In fact, if the ultimate move that the Float-Float Fruit can use was not so exaggerated, Li De would not have mentioned this fruit ability to the girls before.

After all, even if the attack efficiency of holding an island to smash people may not be very high, the special effects are definitely maximized.
