However, Loya had already seized this mythical beast in "Sleepy Town" and intended to keep it for his own use or to train his most loyal subordinates, so there was no way he would give it to Baroric.
The second thing Loya told Baroric was that he admitted he possessed the Mythical Beast and promised that if Baroric could defeat him in a fair duel, he would give him the Mythical Beast unconditionally.
However, if he loses to him, Barolorik will have to fight for Loya ten times within ten years.
Baroric desperately needed the Mythical Zoan-type Vampire Bat Fruit (087), so he readily agreed to Loya's two requests.
Loyal used the [Restore] skill on the spot, which restored Barolorik's internal organs to a certain youthful state.
Of course, while using the "Reply" function, I also experienced a whole new life of Barolorik.
Baroric possesses considerable skill in swordsmanship, Haki, and physical combat.
However, his special Observation Haki, which allows him to read people's minds and memories, is almost entirely derived from his own unique bloodline talent, which Loya cannot copy.
However, Loya possesses the ability to [restore] memories, so he doesn't need Baloric's talent.
Chapter 147 The Calamity of the Holy Land
The bright white light was so dazzling it hurt the eyes.
Guernica craned her neck and squinted at the massive black shadow howling in the fierce wind under the sun.
"Listen up, Celestial Dragons, I, Golden Lion, do not wish to harm any of you, but on the condition that..."
"The 100,000 slaves in the Holy Land must be transferred to my chained fleet within three hours!"
"After three hours, for every minute that exceeds three hours, I will randomly grab a Celestial Dragon and execute him!"
"Don't even think about playing any tricks... With a flick of my finger, this sacred land will plummet from this height of ten thousand meters to the blue sea below!"
"Hehe, I don't know how many of them will survive!"
……
Pangaea, the central city of Mary Geoise.
The Five Elders stood by the window, gazing at the town of Mary Geoise, which was about one-tenth the size of the original town, torn apart several kilometers by Shiki's Float-Float Fruit ability.
"Has this old guy gone mad?"
"No, at least judging from the timing of his attack, it didn't seem like he was crazy; it was premeditated!"
"The Golden Lion...what use does he have for the Holy Land's 100,000 slaves?"
"As Sengoku reported yesterday, Shiki invaded Impel Down and released those guys from Infinite Hell... Perhaps those people are currently with him?"
"Is he planning a world-shaking move as a prelude to his comeback? His ambitions should not be underestimated..."
"I think he's clearly courting death... But for now, let's agree to his terms. After the slaves are released, it's only a matter of time before they find replacements."
During the conversation between the Five Elders.
Guernica had arrived outside the hall of power.
"Let him come in..."
"This is what Marcus Mazs, the God of Environment, said."
Guernica knelt before the Five Elders, her face, hidden behind a mask, filled with humility.
"Agree to his conditions, no more, no less, and send out 100,000 slaves within exactly three hours!"
After Guernica left, the atmosphere among the Five Elders became somewhat subdued.
"Should we take action? This can't be covered up anymore, can it?"
"This is what the God of Defense, Jaigolusia Satan, said."
"Hmm, if the Golden Lion really does gather all those awful guys from Infinite Hell around him, then Figarand and his nine companions, along with Guernica and the others, might indeed only be able to hold their own for a short time..."
"We can't just let them get away so easily!"
"Then unleash your power and use a magic circle to teleport there... The landing point will be on that chained boat!"
"Strangle them along with the 100,000 slaves!"
……
Beneath the floating one-tenth of the holy town.
Marineford Square.
All around, under the effect of Aokiji's Ice-Freeze Fruit, massive icebergs, as thick as city walls and as high as mountains, rose up, layer upon layer, white and blue!
The roar of cannons and the sound of icebergs cracking shook the entire Marineford region!
"Thank goodness we have Aokiji's abilities... otherwise, Whitebeard's barrage of artillery fire would have caused us considerable trouble..."
On the execution platform, Zhan Guo's face was ashen.
Sakazuki jumped onto the execution platform.
"(Qian Zhao) Whitebeard's firepower is so fierce, he really came prepared... The news that we are going to execute Roger's son has been leaked in advance, Hall!"
"Sakazuki...you and Aokiji suggested yesterday that I concentrate my superior forces. Did you discover something in Impel Down?"
"Imperial City has probably been taken over by the Golden Lion and those guys from Infinite Hell..."
"So today... in this Marineford War, are we perhaps going to face two 'Yonko'?"
Zhan Guo sighed deeply, his face appearing as if he had aged a bit.
Chapter 148 Never Seeing the Light of Day
The stern of the boat is connected by an iron chain.
Loya leaned against the railing, closing his eyes to rest.
Barolorik Redfield stood to the side wiping his umbrella sword.
"It's been stored in Impel Down's warehouse for so many years, and it's actually been preserved quite well..."
"It seems to have been buried under the miscellaneous belongings of other prisoners, hidden very deep, never seeing the light of day."
Loya Road.
Upon hearing this, Barolok felt inexplicably that there was some philosophical meaning behind it.
Suddenly, he paused, looking in a certain direction in the void.
"Someone's here... Is it someone you invited?"
Seeing Loya's calm demeanor, Baroric guessed and said this.
"The Five Elders, the Knights of God... I don't plan to face these people directly for now. Let others deal with them. I'll stay on the sidelines and play the role of a subordinate."
Loya Road.
"Hehe, hide for a bit... play the underling... like you do next to Golden Lion 087, huh?"
Barrolik found Loya's cunning and scheming to be terrifyingly deep.
A gentle breeze blew by, revealing a tall figure wrapped in a blue cloak.
"who are you?"
Looking at the newcomer, Baroric sensed the powerful aura emanating from him and couldn't help but feel a little itchy to ask a question.
His eyes seemed to be sparkling with fire.
"Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon!"
The newcomer removed his hood, revealing a strong-willed face with a red tattoo near his left eye.
"You...could you be...the legendary Solitary Red?"
Dorag gazed at the elegant old man before him, whose eyes seemed to blaze with fire, a strange light flashing in his own eyes.
"Monkey D... what's your relationship with that kid Garp?"
"The Revolutionary Army... It seems the world has undergone some interesting changes during my years imprisoned in Impel Down~"
Barolok subtly tightened his grip on the umbrella sword, then loosened it again, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
"brat……"
Dorag felt a little awkward, but also somewhat amused.
"What? If I remember correctly, that little guy Garp is in his seventies, right? I'm at least twenty years older than him, so what's wrong with calling him a little guy?"
Barolorik's smile remained unchanged, though it seemed to contain a hint of mockery.
Dorrag noticed the subtle hostility in Baroric's tone, and his expression turned slightly serious, but he quickly relaxed.
“My father once mentioned the senior to me… but I am me and my father is my father. Since the founding of the Revolutionary Army, my position has been somewhat different from my father’s.”
Dorlag is neither humble nor arrogant (bdfi).
"Hmm... So he really is a descendant of that little Garp... He took advantage of my exhaustion after fighting Cyborg for ten days and ten nights to launch a sneak attack on me..."
"However, since your stance differs from Garp's, I won't settle this score with you!"
"But if I were to encounter that brat Garp again... Hmph... I'd like to see if he's regressed or improved!"
The umbrella sword in Barolok's hand then emitted a faint, clear ringing sound.
"We might have to join forces to fight the enemy later, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how you do it!"
