"It's not just me, everyone will miss you very much."
……
……
Half a day later, at Sabaody Archipelago.
Loya arrived at the villa, picked up Reiju, Nami, and Kanu, who was guarding the two women, and took them to the meeting place with Shiki.
The capital of seven waters.
A dilapidated shipyard.
In this dilapidated abandoned shipyard, there were a full twenty Demonbane-class warships!
However, these warships are quite different in appearance from ordinary warships.
They are covered with propellers on both sides.
It is clearly a specially designed, dual-purpose warship for both sea and air use!
Most remarkably, these ships had chains extending from the front, back, left, and right, which locked them together in groups of four or five.
"Haha, brother, if you build these warships, the cost of each one must be at least two billion Berries, right?"
"You're really willing to go to great lengths to save Mary Geoise's family and friends!"
When Shiki the Golden Lion, who had come to keep the appointment, saw Loya again, he couldn't help but secretly marvel at Loya's wealth.
Loya neither confirmed nor denied this.
In reality, when you include sailors, helmsmen, navigators, and all sorts of supplies, the actual cost of a warship far exceeds two billion Berries.
But such a warship can carry at least a thousand people on long-term voyages at sea.
If it's just temporary transport, it's not a problem to carry five or six thousand people at a time.
According to the intelligence Loya obtained, the total number of slaves in Mary Geoise was approximately seventy to one hundred thousand.
These twenty warships were just enough to temporarily transport all the slaves.
"As agreed from the beginning, the pirates in Impel Down are yours."
"All the slaves of Mary Geoise are mine."
"After I finish this job, I will leave the Golden Lion Pirates on my own initiative."
Loya repeated the agreement they had made.
However, Shiki glanced at Nami and Reiju beside Loa, then smiled and said, "Why do you insist on leaving my pirate crew? I wouldn't want a ship's doctor like you to leave!"
As the Golden Lion's strength recovered better and better, his wariness of Loya gradually decreased.
Moreover, he did indeed believe that Loya was a charming and amorous young man, and that Li Hao must have been inseparable from the women around him these days.
Therefore, as long as Loya has plenty of beautiful women to keep him company, there's no need to worry about him focusing his energy on other things.
"I've also had someone inquire about those two beauties in Impel Down. Heh~ Brother Loya, I must say, you have good taste!"
The golden lion winked and said.
Seeing this, Loya chimed in, "Senior Shiki still remembers this? Then I thank you in advance!"
"I've been eyeing those two beauties in Impel Down for a long time now~"
"After you mentioned it, senior, I'm really getting excited!"
"Hahahaha!" Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion burst into laughter. "A man who isn't a bit of a playboy in his youth is wasting his life, my brother. I understand your feelings!"
"Brother, board the ship! Behold the ship I'm giving you—it'll take to the skies!!"
"Hahahaha!!"
Chapter 128 Infiltrating Impel Down
Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz~~~
Twenty chained warships, their spiral blades on both sides of the hull spinning in the wind, emitted rhythmic humming sounds.
Although it was her first time commanding such a unique flying warship, Nami quickly became familiar with controlling the chained flying fleet with the help of Loya and the others.
Hundreds of meters away from this chained flying warship, the Golden Lion's Golden Lion flying warship (the small island) also soared among the clouds.
After several hours of sailing, the two fleets finally arrived at the Calm Belt near Impel Down.
Nami led the chained fleet into a cloud layer, shut down the steam engines, and hid inside (the clouds in the doldrums were still).
Loya asked Sebastian and Kanu to stay behind to watch the ship and protect Nami.
She brought Reiju and Bruno to the Golden Lion and joined the Golden Lion's group.
On the Golden Lion's side, besides himself, there are several Supernovas he recruited during the Sabaody Archipelago operation.
Trafalgar Law, Hawkins, Capone Becky, Drake, and Kidd's second-in-command Kira.
Luo and Luoya had a secret agreement, which needs no further explanation.
Hawkins is a very pragmatic person, so there's no need to say more.
Kira agreed to serve the Golden Lion in order to save Kid's life.
As for Capone Becky, the "gangster" who was knocked unconscious by God's evasion, and 070 and "fallen Rear Admiral" Drake.
Becky is a smart man and is willing to humble herself, so she joined the Golden Lion's ranks very readily.
The Golden Lion also valued and treated Becky very well.
After all, the Castle-Castle Fruit ability is extremely convenient for hiding people and supplies, making it a rare and valuable ability.
During this Impel Down operation, Becky's body castle can easily hide and take away prisoners.
Finally, "the corrupt Rear Admiral" Drake is a naval spy.
Loya did not reveal his identity as a spy.
Drake's original goal was to join the Beasts Pirates, but after secretly speaking with Sengoku, Sengoku changed his mind and had him infiltrate Shiki's crew.
After all, with the Golden Lion's return to the battlefield, Sengoku was worried that he might cause trouble.
Golden Lion also suspected that Drake might be a naval spy, after all, he had served as a rear admiral.
However, as the Golden Lion's strength gradually recovered, his arrogant personality also began to emerge.
He was confident that even if Drake was a spy, he would find a way to outsmart him.
Moreover, playing tricks on naval spies would give the Golden Lion a lot of fun.
On their way to Impel Down, he secretly told Drake that they were going to attack Amazon Lily, capture the famous Pirate Empress, and take Amazon Lily for themselves.
As they approached Impel Down, he ordered everyone to hand over their Den Den Mushi (snail phones) for unified management and also had his men search several Supernovas.
When the Golden Lion finally arrived above Impel Down, Drake looked down at the tiny outline of Impel Down and thought to himself, "The Golden Lion really did deceive me."
However, since the Den Den Mushi on Drake's body had been taken away, he had to find another way to contact the Navy Headquarters.
The other four supernovas were also kept in the dark, and they were all surprised as they looked at the outline of Impel Down below.
"Brother Loya, my Golden Lion is hovering in the air. I'm taking two people down with me, can you take a few with you too?"
The golden lion opened its mouth towards Loya.
He knew that all three of Loya's people could fly. Five supernovas, he would lead two, and Loya's three would lead three—perfect.
Upon hearing Shiki's words, the five supernovas immediately understood that the flying warship's stop here was no accident; Shiki truly intended to lead them to attack Impel Down.
Loya glanced at the Golden Lion with amusement, then picked up Reiju beside him and jumped off the Golden Lion.
Asking him to bring a few grown men? That's so out of character for him being a womanizer!
"This guy, doesn't he even want to be apart from his woman for a moment at a time like this?"
The Golden Lion watched Loya and Reiju being all lovey-dovey as they fell, and felt utterly speechless.
Bruno, ignoring everyone else, saw his master go down and immediately jumped down as well, using Moonwalk to deflect the force as he fell.
"That guy Loya, all three of them can fly, but he just won't help me out!"
Enraged, the Golden Lion stretched out his large hands, grabbing Becky with his left hand and Drake with his right, and jumped down to the top of Impel Down, three or four thousand meters below.
"You three, figure out how to get down yourselves, hehehehe!"
The golden lion, seized by a playful impulse, let out a howl.
Of the three left behind—Hawkins, Rowe, and Kira—only Kira truly felt troubled.
Hawkins's perpetually expressionless face.
He said, "I'm going down first," and then did nothing but step into the open space in front of him, plummeting downwards with a crash.
"Hawkins... Hey, Law, how do we get down..."
Kira's lips twitched, feeling utterly perplexed.
However, Luo remained calm. He squatted down, picked up a few pebbles from the ground beside him, and put them into his pocket.
"I'm going down first too!"
Luo also said something indifferently, and like Hawkins, he stepped into the air and fell straight down.
