Haiyuan calendar, 1489.
Deep in the far New World, Ghana Islands, west coast.
Lex never thought that he would live another life with this identity. This is a brand new life.
Leon Lex is the only son of the Leon family. His only living relative is his uncle Leon Shiki. He has a quarter of Utsuki bloodline, which comes from his grandmother Utsuki Rishiko, the daughter of the Daimyo of Usagi Bowl in Wano Country.
"So, uncle, the reason you insisted that I wear this kimono when I go out to sea today is because my grandmother is from that Wano country?"
Lex, wearing a loose kimono with blue and green stripes, turned to look at the golden lion beside him.
Lex knew that his uncle was a very traditional pirate, and there must be a reason why he asked him to dress like this.
The golden lion is wearing a golden kimono, wooden clogs, and holding a cigar in its mouth.
Both of them sat cross-legged, facing the sea.
The golden lion did not answer Lex directly, but instead looked straight ahead at the sea in front of him.
It is now early morning, the sun is rising and the sea breeze is blowing.
The brilliant golden light pierced through the thick cumulonimbus clouds and spread across the sea. The sky in the distance appeared orange, contrasting with the sea. Tenderness and romance, grandeur and magnificence, all existed at the same time at this moment.
The golden lion was silent for a moment, continued to stare into the distance, and slowly said, "Well, that's just because I look more pleasing to the eye."
Without any further explanation, Golden Lion kept silent, because at this moment he was unusually depressed.
He was facing the sea, with a cigar in his mouth and a hint of loneliness on his face.
For a man like Shiki the Golden Lion, this kind of melancholy is extremely rare.
However, no matter how legendary a person is, no matter how brutal a tyrant is, he will have a fragile side. No, maybe it is not fragile, but weak. He also has joys and sorrows. But in the past, he showed more of the temperament of a tyrant supported by huge ambitions.
But now, when faced with the inevitable situation in life where relatives travel far away, men like Golden Leo will inevitably feel sad.
Lex suddenly came from the West Sea today and told him that he was going out to sea.
The Golden Lion did not answer, but asked Lex to follow him, and the two came to the west coast of the Ghana Islands.
Although Rex would often visit him after he went out to sea, he was independent after all.
Without saying a word, the Golden Lion stood up and blew out a smoke ring.
He turned and looked at Lex, the only blood relative he had in the world.
"Lex, if I remember correctly, you are 20 years old."
"Well, it's like this, uncle, what's wrong?"
Lex answered in a proper manner and stood up right after the golden lion.
"Want to drink? Come drink with me."
It seemed like a question, or maybe a request. In any case, the golden lion stood up and flew into the sky.
Yes, at this moment, a huge pirate ship is floating in the sky above this island!
The ship is more than 300 meters long, with a huge golden lion head on the bow. The keel of the ship is made of the precious wood Adam, and the lion-shaped skull pirate flag on the mast is fluttering in the wind.
It is the flagship of the Hikubo Pirates and the mount of the legendary New World pirate Golden Lion - the Lion Demon!
It has been more than five years since the end of the Battle of God Valley.
Five years is enough time for this treacherous sea to undergo earth-shaking changes.
How many old people have passed away, and how many heroes have ascended the throne.
At this time, Golden Lion had already left the Rocks Pirates. The previous pirate overlord Rocks D. Zibek died in battle, and his lifelong ambitions ended in the Valley of the Gods.
From then on, no one on this sea could suppress the Golden Lion's ambition.
This tyrant is officially competing for supremacy in the ocean!
At this time, Golden Lion has not yet used the island ship as a vehicle, which means that he is not too dependent on the ability of the fruit at this time. His most powerful skill is the double-sword swordsmanship, which is known as the world's number one swordsman!
The world's greatest swordsman today - Shiki the Golden Lion!
He inherited the huge legacy left by Rocks, the vast ocean of the New World!
After the Rocks Pirates fell apart, the monsters in the New World became restless and competed for the sea.
The former captain of the Rocks Pirates' First Division, Shiki the Golden Lion, is undoubtedly the biggest winner. He is "the man who rules the sea from the sky!"
Watching the golden lion slowly flying into the sky and landing on the bow of the Lion Ghost, Lex's eyes narrowed slightly. He raised his left hand and pressed lightly, as if he had touched the space at that moment.
Suddenly, the space around Lex was filled with a light blue light. In an instant, Lex disappeared from the spot and then appeared next to the golden lion.
Space teleportation!
Looking at Rex who appeared beside him in an instant, Golden Lion's eyes showed a hint of approval. His nephew was undoubtedly a monster, who had quietly reached the top of the ocean at the age of 20.
The Golden Lion raised his left hand slightly, and several bottles of sherry floated in the air and landed beside the two of them.
This is the awakened ability of the superhuman Float-Float Fruit. It does not require direct contact with objects and can control the gravity of objects through the air.
Lex always felt that this was the telekinesis fruit, and it was the kind that didn't consume much physical energy, because keeping an object suspended in the air did not consume much physical energy of the user.
In later generations, even after his uncle Golden Lion was epically weakened, he was still able to keep dozens of sky islands suspended in the sky 10,000 meters all year round. This is a testament to his ability.
What's more, the golden lion next to Lex is now in his prime.
His long golden hair flutters in the wind, his legs are still strong, he has fought in the sea for decades and has just reached the peak of his powers, holding two large 21-level swords, full of vigor and vitality, traveling across the new world, and no one can defeat him!
He is the most powerful pirate in the New World today, bar none, and the leading figure in the pirate world today.
The lion roars across the world, and its power shakes all nations!
The two of them opened the bottle, clinked their glasses, and started drinking.
"Ah, after drinking so many kinds of wine, it turns out that this is the one I have to drink. Sherry. The romance of men lies in it. Hahahaha."
The Golden Lion took a sip of wine and laughed heartily, and the melancholy he had just felt seemed to be swept away.
Lex did not respond to this, but just drank the sherry in the bottle sip by sip. Occasionally, when the bottle in Golden Lion's hand was almost empty, Lex would always open a new bottle of wine and hand it to Golden Lion.
Of course Lex understood that although his uncle seemed to be smiling, he was actually not happy in his heart because he was about to go out to sea, but his uncle would not stop him, and could not stop him.
What reason can stop a man from running towards the sea?
Although it will be sad, it is inevitable.
After all, Rex has really gone to sea and no longer lives under the name of Golden Lion.
Since Lex came to the pirate world, he has never seen another relative except his uncle.
Loneliness is the norm. While enjoying freedom, loneliness is inevitable.
The same is true for Golden Lion. Only when Lex is around can he feel the rare warmth in life, which embellishes Golden Lion's life.
But Lex's departure was inevitable. He was 20 years old and he had to go to sea.
Over the years, Lex spent most of his time training in the West Sea. The Leon family is from the West Sea, and he occasionally came to the New World with the Golden Lion.
Lex has witnessed the domineering power of Rocks, Whitebeard, Roger and others, and has experienced the style of the middle-aged Cyborg Kong, Garp, Sengoku and others.
Rex has witnessed the cruelty and insidiousness of the pirate world, and has also felt the brilliance of humanity, the justice of the navy, the corruption of the government, the degeneration of the nobility, and the struggles of civilians in the times.
For Lex, pirate? Navy? Civilian? Noble?
Maybe, it’s not that important anymore.
In short, 20-year-old Leon Lex finally went to sea.
In what capacity?
With what kind of stance?
Golden Lion and Lex seemed to have an unusual tacit understanding, and both of them could foresee the other's next words with their observation Haki.
"Why are you going out to sea?" Lex asked, as if he was asking the golden lion, but also as if he was questioning his own heart.
"What is the purpose of going to sea?" Golden Lion spoke almost at the same time. He wanted to guide Lex to follow his own path, although Lex's strength was already very powerful.
The two were silent for a moment, and Golden Lion spoke first.
"Hahahaha, Lex, just do what you want to do. Persevere, and then persevere again, and pursue your own path. If you want to dominate the sea and become the king of the sea, I support you, the Flying Pirates will be your backing, Ryder and Newgate will also support you. If you want to sail freely on this free sea, then live wantonly, hahahaha!"
The golden lion's eyes were filled with a dim light as he looked at Lex intently. He was expecting Lex's answer. He would not ask Lex to become a pirate, or to assist him in fulfilling his ambition to rule the world. He hoped that Lex would be free, which was the best blessing and support.
Hearing what Golden Lion said.
Lex's thoughts were flooding in his mind. He then picked up the sherry in his hand, drank it in one gulp, and threw the bottle into the sea.
[In his previous life, Lex was ordinary but not mediocre. He had his own path, he knew his direction, he pursued freedom, he wandered through life, and he saw many unforgettable scenery.]
[In this life, Lex sets out again. He has more capital to gamble and move forward. He longs for the sea and freedom. This time, he wants to reach the top and find true freedom! ]
[True freedom is not personal, but the freedom of the world! ]
Thinking of this, Lex's mind suddenly became clear.
He suddenly pulled out the two knives from his waist, crossed them and held them horizontally in front of him.
First, a layer of deep blue space force was attached, and then it was wrapped with flowing, rich armed color domineering. The next moment, the iconic dark red lightning of the domineering color slowly emerged on the blade, and the domineering color was entangled!
The observation Haki spread out, covering hundreds of miles of sea!
"Dual Blade Style, K. God-Breaking. Mirror Flower and Water Moon!!!"
bass! ! !
A huge cross-shaped slash flew out in an instant, sometimes disappearing into the void, and sometimes condensing, emitting a light blue halo.
Suddenly, the cross slash split into two narrow crescent-shaped flying slashes, one flew into the sky and the other went straight into the sea.
All this happened in just a moment. The ocean, thousands of meters deep, was cut into two pieces like a block of tofu, exposing the seabed and causing seawater to flow back frantically into the vacuum zone in the middle.
Cut the sea!
The sky seemed to be parted in the middle, with the clouds split in two. The air currents were surging, the clouds were rolling, and there was no end in sight, forming a short and heavy rainfall.
Broken sky!
The sky and the seabed were all cracked!
The celestial phenomena have changed!
Lex put away his two swords, opened his arms horizontally, and breathed in the fresh air mixed with the salty and humid smell brought by the moist sea breeze.
Lex responded to the words of the Golden Lion with his actions. The persistence of life and your own path are in your own hands! Right under your feet!
No matter what choice you make, it is your own path!
Looking at the ocean and clouds that had not healed for a long time, and the huge corpses of sea kings that kept floating to the surface after their death, both of them stopped and looked into the distance.
a long time.
"Then the first ten-year plan has officially begun, right, Lex?"
"Well, from the moment I set out to sea."
Lex responded calmly.
"Well, let's go out to sea." The Golden Lion was absent-minded and muttered to himself.
At this moment, the sun in the sky has just risen completely, and the morning sun is shining on the sea. Now, it is dawn.
