"If your proposal is to make me your subordinate, then there is no need to continue talking. Just kill me with one sword." The Golden Lion sneered.
"Is that so? That's a shame."
"I originally wanted to restore your body and bring your strength back to its peak." Luo Heng shook his head and sighed.
"Complete my body? What do you mean?" the Golden Lion asked with gritted teeth.
"Grow your legs, of course, and take this ridiculous thing off your head."
Luo Heng spoke in a flat tone and casually knocked on the rudder on the golden lion's head, causing the old man to grimace in pain.
"What a joke! That's a power only gods possess." The Golden Lion obviously didn't believe what Luo Heng said.
"Believe it or not, I never joke." Luo Heng shrugged.
The golden lion stared at Luo Heng intently, and a glimmer of light gradually appeared in its originally dead eyes.
"Is what you said true?"
"You keep talking nonsense. Believe it or not." Luo Heng said as he stood up with an impatient look on his face, and it looked like he was about to draw his sword.
"Wait a minute, I'll join." The Golden Lion's expression was excited, and he grabbed Luo Heng's trouser leg tightly with a fanatical look.
"Forget it. I suddenly remembered that there is a troublesome old man at home. I'm afraid he won't welcome you." Luo Heng pretended to draw his sword again.
"As a man, you should take your words as your bond. How can you go back on your word so easily?" The Golden Lion was a little anxious now.
"It's really unsafe to have a guy like you around who's always thinking about destroying the world." Luo Heng said hesitantly.
"I won't destroy the world. I'll do whatever you tell me to do!" said the Golden Lion seriously.
"Are you really that obedient?"
"I swear to Roger." The golden lion said, pointing to the sky.
"Then I will believe you for once." Luo Heng said reluctantly.
"But I have to make it clear to you that this recovery method will lose its effectiveness in several situations," Luo Heng reminded.
"It will still be ineffective? Under what circumstances?" Golden Lion's expression immediately fell when he heard that.
"I was knocked unconscious, killed, and I took back my abilities on my own initiative."
"Is that so? I understand." Golden Lion said with some regret.
Luo Heng tilted his head and looked at the Golden Lion: "You didn't just want to recover your strength and kill me immediately, did you?"
"How is that possible? Even at my peak, I might not be your opponent." Golden Lion waved his hands hurriedly.
"That's better." Luo Heng stared at him suspiciously.
"There's one more thing I want to tell you."
"besides?"
"There are a small number of people in this world who have the power to kill me easily."
"When you encounter this kind of enemy, you'd better protect me with all your might." Luo Heng said solemnly.
The top powerful people in the world today appeared in Golden Lion's mind.
It was completely unimaginable that anyone could easily kill the man in front of him.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Golden Lion shook his head with certainty.
"The Celestial Dragons can do it."
"Just relying on those good-for-nothings who are just sitting there doing nothing? This joke is not funny at all." The Golden Lion sneered.
"I was just beaten up by the Five Elders a while ago."
"The kind that has no power to resist."
Luo Heng spoke in a flat tone, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"What? The legendary Five Elders are just a few ordinary people?" The golden lion turned into a frightened lion.
"I originally thought so too." Luo Heng said with a long sigh.
Golden Lion: “…”
"Do you still think playing house games like Pirates is fun?"
"Hehe... I'm just too lazy to bother with you." Luo Heng sneered.
"I suddenly feel like I've been living a joke for the past few decades."
"It seems that my wish for revenge against the World Government will never be fulfilled in this lifetime."
The Golden Lion was disheartened, especially when he thought about his plan to destroy the world, which seemed even more childish.
"What? You decided to give up after hearing about some difficulties?" Luo Heng raised his eyebrows.
"I just can't think of how to defeat someone with such strength." Golden Lion looked depressed.
"There will be a way. How could there be someone in this world who is immortal?" Luo Heng patted the Golden Lion's shoulder.
"Come on, clean up the mess and come back to Alabasta with me."
"My time is very precious."
"Alas..." The Golden Lion sighed and followed behind Luo Heng.
When we returned to the vicinity of the palace, it was already in a mess.
Fortunately, when Golden Lion launched his ultimate move, he intentionally avoided the laboratory.
The greenhouse where IQ is cultivated is still intact.
"Puff, puff, puff~~" Indigo saw Luo Heng standing in front of the golden lion and was afraid to get close.
Seeing this, the Golden Lion waved to him.
Indigo then cautiously came over and started dancing towards the two of them.
"You have to come with us too. The laboratory will be moved to Alabasta, and all the IQs will be taken away." Luo Heng said with a faint smile.
"You actually understood it!" Indigo shouted in shock.
Golden Lion felt a little embarrassed. He could only occasionally guess what his subordinate meant by his pantomime performance.
"Go to Alabasta and work hard. There is a shortage of scientists there, and your future is bright." Luo Heng patted Indigo's shoulder.
"What should we do with the natives on the island?" Golden Lion observed Luo Heng's expression and said carefully.
"Restore the island to its original state, release all the captured people, and leave them some weapons. After all, this is their hometown." Luo Heng said casually.
"I understand." The golden lion nodded and flew into the sky, began to control the surrounding floating islands, and slowly landed back on the sea.
After a series of earthquakes, the islands were connected again.
However, what followed was an increasingly fierce fight among the monsters.
Nicole Robin also flew back after receiving a call from Luo Heng.
After working hard for most of the day, the pirates of the Flying Pirates finally moved all the valuables on the island onto the ship.
As the sun sets, Golden Lion stands at the bow of his boat, looking back with some emotion at the island where he has lived in seclusion for twenty years.
"Are you reluctant to leave?" Luo Heng asked, leaning against the side of the boat, a cigar in his mouth.
"No, I just feel a little regretful. I spent twenty years just to do such a stupid thing." Golden Lion said in a low voice.
“So, sometimes choice is more important than hard work.”
"Only by choosing the right path can you reach the other side you ultimately want to go to." Luo Heng said as he exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Following you may be the last major choice I make in my life."
"I just hope that in the end, neither you nor I will regret our decision today." Golden Lion's tone suddenly relaxed.
"It seems that you are ready to embark on a new journey."
"Then let's start from now, maybe we can get back faster." Luo Heng said with a chuckle.
