Chapter 82 The Golden Lion!
The Eight Treasures Navy has three main bases in the Flower Country, known as the "Upper, Middle, and Lower Three Peaks Tower".
On that day, the Upper Peak Tower was destroyed, and the headquarters moved to the Middle Peak Tower.
……
……
After today, only the Peak Tower will remain.
-
Amidst the ruins, Green Pepper lay helplessly on the ground, struggling to raise her hand as if trying to grab onto something.
Beside him was Huo Qiushan, whose weapon had broken and who had collapsed, along with a group of members of the Babao Navy.
"How is this possible... How could you possibly... know the Eight-Strike Fist?!"
"This is the true essence of my Eight Treasures Navy, honed over a century!!!"
……
With his back to the bright moon, his scarlet Sharingan eyes shone in place of the moonlight.
Allen had a horribly deep dent in his left abdomen, and blood was still gushing from his back, but he was the only one standing in the arena.
"It's just a technique of wrapping Armament Haki around the sharp parts of the body and concentrating the shockwave at one point to launch an attack."
"Under these eyes, nothing about you can hide."
Allen slowly approached Green Pepper; this scene seemed familiar.
"You are not a necessity. It won't be long before I can open the Jade Iceberg myself."
……
Allen raised his hand, his five fingers pressed together like knives, his palm wrapped in jet-black Armament Haki, the tips gleaming with a chilling light.
"What I want is an obedient Shichibukai."
"You understand, right?"
……
-
Green Pepper tilted her head back, staring directly into those seemingly arrogant eyes.
Many people, at the moment of death, recall the people and events they have experienced in their lives.
Green Pepper has seen many legendary pirates and has even personally participated in their battles.
A past unknown to most.
Green Pepper once joined Golden Lion's flying pirate fleet.
……
In the first few years after Garp flattened his cone-shaped head, he still harbored thoughts of revenge against Garp.
He realized he couldn't do it alone, so he chose to join the Golden Lion Fleet, which was the most powerful force at the time and aimed to dominate the world.
Golden Lion wanted to recruit Roger to join forces against "The World," but was rejected, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
……
That battle was known as the Battle of Eit Wall.
The air fleet, which had been holding an absolute advantage, was about to defeat the Roger Pirates when it unexpectedly encountered an unprecedented and massive storm.
Most of the Flying Pirates' fleet was sunk to the bottom of the sea, again due to an accident. A ship's rudder was stuck on Shiki's head, temporarily rendering him unable to fight.
That battle ended with the Roger Pirates escaping unscathed, but it was not a victory.
No one can say that Roger defeated Shiki by strength.
……
Green Pepper was not a Devil Fruit user, but he survived that massive storm.
In his view, compared to the Golden Lion, who had the ambition to conquer the world, Roger was just a lucky guy.
Why did I suddenly think of the Admiral...?
Looking into those eyes, Green Pepper understood.
……
"Your ambition... is terrifying..."
I can tell from the green peppers.
This is the same ambition as the Golden Lion—to devour the world!
Why... has another one of these monsters appeared here?!
-
"Incorrect answer."
Allen tucked his thumb and little finger together, concentrating his power on the three fingers, which became even darker.
The terrifying cutting force tore at the air with a hissing crackling sound.
Allen remained expressionless, waving his hand down with a thunderous roar!
-
The finger gun, honed to perfection, the piercing spear technique, and the secrets of the Eight-Strike Fist replicated by the Sharingan, are all condensed into an extremely destructive killing move!
……
"I surrender!!!!"
Between life and death lies immense terror, Green Pepper cried out in an instant.
The surrender occurred almost simultaneously with the firing of the finger gun.
Allen slightly tilted his wrist, the force whistling past Green Pepper's ear, severing his earlobe with a sharp gust of air, causing blood to splatter.
The next second—
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
The ground looked as if it had been pierced by the fangs of a giant beast, revealing a bottomless crater. From this crater, the cracks extended for dozens of meters before gradually subsiding.
Green Pepper stiffened, cold sweat streaming down his back, the sharp sound of the air being torn apart still echoing in his ears.
……
seriously.
Even if Garp blows his head off.
Even when swept away by a massive storm.
The green pepper felt that it had never been closer to death than it had just been.
This guy doesn't even have the option of arresting me... He really wants to kill me!!
……
……
"What kind of boxing style is that...?"
This attack has obvious characteristics of the Eight-Finger Fist. The four-finger attack just now defeated Green Pepper, and the three-finger attack is even stronger.
This made Qingjiao think about the direction of improvement for Bachongquan.
It's easier to make something that's already thin become sharp than to make a round head into a pointed one.
……
Allen glanced at his palm, then slowly removed his Armament Haki and put it down.
"Calling it a palm technique isn't quite right, and calling it a finger spear overlaps with the name of the Six Styles..."
"Um……"
Allen smiled, his earlier ruthlessness completely gone: "The Demon Gun!"
"I originally wanted to call him Divine Shot, but I think Demon Shot is cooler."
"I can compress my Haki to the level of three fingers now. If I can compress it to the level of one finger, the penetrating and destructive power should be even stronger."
……
Looking at Allen, Green Pepper couldn't help but feel a...
Why do I have to experience this frustration of being a genius?
Decades of arduous practice are not as effective as his few days of rigorous training.
How tragic.
……
"Want to learn? I'll teach you."
The dejected green pepper suddenly looked up, its tiger-like eyes glistening, and before the tears fell, it prostrated itself heavily.

After the three,
Port of the Flower Country.
The entire Babao Navy, with bandages on their faces, came to bid farewell to Brigadier General Allen.
Allen's oversized backpack weighed down the wooden planks in the harbor.
This custom-made backpack was previously used to carry meat to Vegapunk's place; now it's filled with gold and silver jewelry.
The accumulated wealth of the Babao Water Army over a century is terrifying, and even Yalian only managed to get less than one percent of it.
The precious iceberg is an excellent natural safe, and the pointed tip of the green pepper is the most suitable key. There is a reason why the pillars of the previous generation let the younger generation practice their heads.
A finger gun that is pointed at the top and wide at the bottom is more suitable for opening and closing doors than a standard finger gun.
……
Green Pepper, with both hands in casts, approached and glanced at Allen, who was wrapped in bandages. He felt somewhat comforted.
At least it wasn't a case of being wiped out without taking any damage by the Eight Treasures Water Army, so it's alright...
"I won't be practicing with the magic gun anytime soon. The injuries to my arm and body should heal in about ten days to two weeks."
Green Pepper sat down cross-legged, trying to look Allen in the eye: "What's the procedure for the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Is it the Navy that sends someone, or the World Government that sends someone to test them?"
……
"It might put you in a fight with Hanafuda, you know, that Washing Machine King or something..."
"That's called the Lizard King... He's a rising star in Kaido's generation."
Green Pepper raised his head arrogantly and said, "Once I recover from my injuries, I can easily crush that little lizard!"
Allen couldn't judge the difference in strength between the two. Anyway, even if Chinjao didn't become a Shichibukai, he could still be his vassal in the Land of Flowers.
He always takes things one step at a time and follows a set of principles in his actions.
Be adaptable.
There's no ingenious scheme involved; it's as if everyone else is an NPC acting according to your wishes.
Allen's ability lies in finding the most advantageous path for himself in different situations.
……
Not far away, the warship that came to pick him up could already be seen.
Allen looked at the Flower Kingdom with its towering peaks and felt a surge of joy.
"Green Pepper, I must be the strongest in the Flower Country in the last hundred years!"
……
……
After a moment of silence, Green Pepper let out a sneer.
"I'd really like to give you face and agree, but..."
"Thirty-seven years ago."
"A blond guy a few years younger than me defeated the kingdom's guards and took two famous swords from the Flower Kingdom's collection to sea."
His name is—
"Golden Lion, Shiki!"
