Chapter 488 Golden Lion Red Earl

While the battle on Eggman Island is in full swing, time goes back two minutes to the other side, in Wano Country.

The sky was cloudless, the sea breeze blew on the beach, and the cries of seagulls came from far away.

On this warm day, a small boat was flying fast in the sky, approaching Wano Country.

At the bow stood an old man in a golden and orange striped coat. He had long wild golden hair and looked like an old lion king.

"Is this Wano Country? The younger generation of pirates have developed quite well in recent years."

The old man spoke with emotion, and there was no respect for Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, in his words. Instead, he seemed to be commenting from the perspective of a senior.

Bloopers~Bloopers~Bloopers~

The Den Den Mushi in his arms rang, and the old man picked up the phone. "Although you cured my leg, I should show my appreciation, but you said that I can handle the things as I wish. Do you want to change your mind?"

Rafael's voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, "Golden Lion, I'm just checking your progress. The war has already started on the other side. This is your best opportunity to strike."

The golden-haired old man standing on the airship is naturally the golden lion Shiki who was feared by the world twenty years ago. He is the user of the Float-Float Fruit, which can make non-living things he touches float, and even make dozens of islands float in the sky.

A few months ago, before Lu Li came into this world and before Luffy set out to sea, Rafar found the Golden Lion and made a deal with him.

On the condition of curing Golden Lion's legs, helping Golden Lion to pull out the rudder above his head and restoring his strength to its peak, Golden Lion must help Rafar once without making things difficult for him.

This time, Rafar asked Golden Lion to come to Wano Country with only one purpose, which was to steal the ancient weapon Pluto.

With such a big strategic move, Golden Lion would certainly not easily agree to work for Rafar. As a pirate, he is not disloyal, but he also knows the reputation of the Four Emperors of this era. They are not opponents that can be easily provoked.

But Rafar said that if he could snatch the ancient weapons, he could do with them as he pleased. The Golden Lion was immediately interested, thinking that if he could have the ancient weapons, he would be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish in the future.

As for Rafar, after this transaction is completed, there will be no relationship between them. When he drives Pluto to Marinford, he will not show mercy.

"Although I have never fought against the Four Emperors of the new era, I think they should be stronger than Whitebeard and Roger, right?"

The Golden Lion spoke in a condescending tone, "You actually asked me to cooperate with others, Rafael, do you look down on me?"

"After all, you are alone now. It may be a bit difficult for an imperial group facing Kaido to take away ancient weapons, so I troubled him to go with you."

Rafar spoke in a humble tone; he really knew how to coax an old guy like Golden Lion.

"Are we there yet? The bed on the boat is really uncomfortable to sleep on."

Someone walked out of the cabin, revealing a laziness as if he had just woken up, but also a unique elegance.

The man had a tall and thin figure, with white hair braided into two braids hanging on his shoulders. He wore a plum-red shirt and blood-red trousers, and black leather shoes with gold rims on his feet.

He was wearing a large blood-red cape, a blue rose around his neck, and a slender bat-handled umbrella in his hand.

As he spoke, the gold chain on his mouth moved and he had an evil smile on his face.

"Red Earl, every time I see you like this, it makes me uncomfortable."

Golden Lion turned around and looked at the person who came. The person traveling with him was the Red Earl, a legendary powerful man who escaped from prison in Impel Down some time ago.

In the past, he, Whitebeard, Red Earl and Roger were all powerful figures on the sea, but unfortunately, time has passed, and now people on the sea have forgotten him and Red Earl, and only remember Whitebeard and the Pirate King Roger.

He felt unhappy because the Red Earl looked very young, which made him feel that he was indeed a little old.

We are all of the same generation, why do you still have a young appearance and body?

"Then let's complete the agreement as soon as possible and then go our separate ways."

The young man said.

Baroric Redfield, known as the Red Earl on the sea, is a contemporary of Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Garp, Sengoku and others.

He is on par with Roger and Whitebeard alone, and his strength is extremely powerful.

After escaping from prison in Impel Down, he made a deal with Rafael and obtained the Mythical Beast Vampire Devil Fruit, which restored his youth by absorbing the lifespan of others.

Compared to Golden Lion, he is not too averse to cooperating with Rafar. Since he has already obtained the devil fruit he wanted to restore his youth, he will not be so shameless as to disappear.

Besides, he is indeed very interested in the Four Emperors of the new era. He wants to see what level Kaido, who was once in the Rocks Pirates, is at now.

During the conversation, the spaceship had already arrived above Wano Country. Golden Lion saw the huge Pluto battleship and felt a little envious.

Before coming, they had already discussed the division of labor. The Red Earl was responsible for dealing with the Beasts Pirates, while he would use the power of the Float-Float Fruit to control Pluto and let him fly away.

Yes, Rafar’s plan was not just one-sided. Although he had made every possible effort, he could not guarantee that he could kill Lu Li 100%.

Taking risk hedging into consideration, his plan was two-way from the beginning. When Lu Li started the fierce battle on Egg Head Island, he would activate the space forbidden area magic circle that had been set up in the sea below Egg Head Island. By then, even if Lu Li had the ability of the teleportation fruit, he would not be able to escape or return to the country of Wano for help.

And if Lu Li's final siege plan fails, he can at least destroy the ancient weapon in Lu Li's hand. In this way, the advantage is still on his side.

He had already obtained the sample of the Mother Fire through the 'Team Warehouse Sharing' skill in the Adventure Group. Taking into account the debugging time, they would be able to use the Heavenly King in the next few days.

At that time, he didn't care who held the Pluto, as long as it was not in Lu Li's hands.

That's why he told the ambitious Golden Lion that he could deal with Pluto as he pleased. This greatly activated Golden Lion's enthusiasm, allowing him to focus on dealing with the Beasts Pirates.

In this operation, he arranged two emperor-level masters to attack Wano Country. Considering that there is a supermodel like Fujitora in the Beasts Pirates, Rafar feels that the head-on combat power may be 50-50.

But attackers and defenders have different things to worry about. Kaido and his men will have concerns when fighting on their own territory, but Golden Lion and Red Earl don't have to consider so much.

Furthermore, as long as the Golden Lion can destroy or get rid of Pluto, it doesn’t matter to Rafar even if the Red Earl and the Golden Lion die in the battle.

The deterrent power of ancient weapons in this world is equivalent to that of nuclear weapons. The forces with and without nuclear weapons are completely on two different levels.

As long as they destroy the ancient weapon Pluto in Lu Li's hand, they can easily defeat the King of Heaven with their long-range nuclear strike weapon, right?
Therefore, Rafar thought that his arrangement was quite brilliant. It would be better to say that Wano Country was the focus of the action. Even if Egghead Island failed to encircle and kill Lu Li, as long as he was the only one who mastered the ancient weapons, he would have won.

At present, on Egghead Island, he thought the most important thing was to kill Vegapunk as soon as possible. As long as Vegapunk died, Lu Li would have difficulty using ancient weapons. After all, without the mother fire, relying on ordinary energy, the ancient weapons could only fire two shots at best. Rafar calmed down, gave instructions to both sides, and then entered the throne room to meet Im.

At this time, in the throne hall, the Five Elder Stars were already in place. On the empty throne, there was a hooded figure sitting, his face hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Lord Im."

Rafar knelt down skillfully to express his highest respect.

"How are things going?"

Yim's voice was lazy, but it revealed an overwhelming majesty that made Rafar tremble a little. That was the momentum cultivated over eight hundred years on the throne of supreme power.

"Things are going smoothly in Wano Country. As long as Golden Lion can touch Pluto, he can take the initiative."

Rafael reported, "It's just that we encountered some minor problems on Egghead Island."

"A small situation?"

Yimu's voice was somewhat dissatisfied, "Explain clearly."

"The strength of the natural disaster is extremely strong. The strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf has not been fully effective. The navy traitor Kuzan has already stood on Lu Li's side. It is only a matter of time before Barrett is defeated."

Rafar briefly concluded and made a suggestion, "I believe that the natural disaster is a huge threat. We must eliminate it in this battle."

"Oh? Specifically?"

Yim's voice was calm, but it made Rafar feel pressured. This was the pressure from a true sixth-level strong man.

"I hope that all the Five Elders and the Knights of God can move out together and wipe out Lu Li with the force of thunder."

Rafar expressed his thoughts. They would definitely suffer if they fought against Lu Li wave after wave. To fight a lone wolf master like Lu Li, they had to kill him in one wave and not give him the chance to "fight guerrilla warfare."

At the moment, he was sure that Lu Li's ultimate move to clear the Seraphim and the Pacifist, coupled with the fight with Barrett and others, had consumed a lot of his physical energy.

Now, on the surface, his soul source seems to be abundant, which must be because he has taken recovery products. It is impossible for a lone wolf explorer to bring a bunch of recovery products every time he enters the world. Lu Li should have no supplies now.

At this time, the Five Elder Stars and the Knights of God will be dispatched collectively. When necessary, he can also descend upon the elites of the Egghead Island Command Group to surround and kill Lu Li.

The no-fly magic circle of Egg Head Island can only be entered but not exited. He and the Five Elders can teleport there, but Lu Li cannot leave by using things like teleportation or teleportation scrolls.

This is also the main reason why Gofia keeps asking for help in the group channel, because she found that her retreat route was cut off by the group leader Rafar.

"Just to deal with a pirate's lieutenant?"

Im's question made sweat break out on Rafar's forehead.

Rafar realized that as a native, Im was unable to realize the threat posed by the explorers. Although he personally harbored evil intentions, they were currently on a united front.

He thought for a moment and explained, "I'm afraid that Tianzai has already dug deep into the truth of history. He has the power and the influence to subvert the world. He is an extremely dangerous existence. If we miss the opportunity today, the situation in the future will be difficult to control."

"Rafael, watch your words."

Saturn, one of the Five Elders, said, "With the Supreme Lord Im here, no situation is out of control."

The other five elder stars probably nodded as well, following Saturn's lead.

Rafar cursed Saturn in his heart for being a weakling who could do such bad things. Is this the time for you to show your loyalty and lick Im?

If we fail to kill Lu Li this time, who knows what kind of troubles may arise later.

"Saint Satan, the situation is certainly under control."

Yim said condescendingly, "Kalafar's statement is not without reason. In that case, let's erase Egghead Island from history and issue the Demon Killing Order."

As she/he spoke, she/he glanced at the Five Elders, "You all go together."

When Rafar saw Im make the decision, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Im was not a stupid ruler, otherwise she would not have allowed him to sit on the supreme throne and become the king of the world.

But Rafar thought Im's decision was too conservative. Although she agreed to send further troops, she only let the Five Elders go and did not let the Knights of God go together.

The Five Elders were indeed a powerful force, but the problem was that Rafar was afraid that their immortality wouldn't work in front of Lu Li. If they knelt down soon, they would be sent to be killed.

Thinking of this, Rafar mustered up the courage to persuade again, "Lord Yim..."

Before he finished speaking, Yimu's cold eyes swept over him, "Rafar, since you think Lu Li is such a big threat, how about going to Egghead Island with him?"

Obviously, Im did not want to put all the troops under her control into this battle, and she did not completely trust Rafar. Her keen intuition always made her feel that the other party was plotting something.

So her meaning was very clear. That is, you have been talking about the threat of natural disasters for a long time, so just do it yourself, bringing with you a group of powerful subordinates who you have trained at some unknown time.

Rafar was speechless. He didn't expect that Im not only refused to listen to his advice, but also blocked his retreat.

If he doesn't want to fall out with Yim now, he must risk his life and the lives of the team's elites to gamble with Lu Li.

After comprehensively evaluating the risks and benefits, Rafar gave his response, "...As you command."

…………

On Egg Head Island, Lu Li's Demon Prisoner slashed out with a domineering sword light. When Barrett's spirit and energy were not as good as at their peak, he slashed through his combined armor with one sword. A trace of sword energy flowed into the inside and injured Barrett's body.

Barrett coughed up blood as he retreated, shock in his eyes. He didn't expect that Lu Li's sword energy only scratched him slightly, but caused him such serious injuries.

Just when Lu Li was thinking about killing Barrett first, five huge dark magic circles suddenly appeared on the ground of Egghead Island. After bursts of smoke, a powerful aura appeared in the field.

The Five Elders have arrived.

Lu Li's lips curled up, it seems his wait was not in vain.
