He had initially thought this was some kind of Devil Fruit ability related to shadows.
However, it now seemed that this was not the case at all.
Those black Shadow Warriors of various forms were definitely not the product of an ability user.
Instead, they were some kind of peculiar existence he could not comprehend.
And there was this special shadow space.
It was as if he had arrived in another world.
"Mr. Roland, what exactly is going on?"
"Who are these black Shadow Warriors?"
"And where is this black space?"
While girls like Vivi, Kuina, and Bonney were not as shocked as Sabo, they were inevitably curious.
"Nojiko, how did you all hide here?"
Nami also asked curiously.
"These Shadow Warriors are a special existence called the Shadow Warriors, and this is their kingdom—the Black Shadow Kingdom. Two days ago, Mr. Roland gave me… when the attackers appeared not long ago, I had a bad feeling, so I had the Shadow Warriors bring everyone here for shelter!"
Nojiko explained concisely.
"Also, Nami, when I contacted you just now, I was accidentally discovered by the ferocious beasts and hastily retreated back to the Black Shadow Kingdom. That's why I couldn't explain clearly in time and made you worry. I'm truly sorry!"
Nojiko looked apologetically at her sister.
"No, no, no, Nojiko, your safety is more important than anything!"
Nami's face broke into a radiant smile.
"Nojiko, do you know who the attackers were this time?"
Thor asked.
His companion's village had been destroyed.
Thor naturally wouldn't be indifferent.
He absolutely could not just let this go.
"No! I don't know who he is!"
Nojiko shook her head.
Golden Lion Shiki was a legend of the previous era, but he had been missing for twenty years.
Not to mention a new generation like Nojiko, even a middle-aged person like Genzo wouldn't recognize him.
"Does he have any distinct features?"
Kalifa asked.
"He's an old man with hair like a lion's mane, and for some reason, there's a ship's rudder stuck in his head. Oh, and not only can he fly himself, but he can also make a huge island float in the air!"
Genzo and the others described the scene, their voices overlapping.
"Eh? Are these features… Flying Big Pirate Shiki the Golden Lion from the previous era?"
Revolutionary Army member Koala was the first to react.
Although she was also of the new generation and had never seen Golden Lion Shiki, she had learned about him from intelligence held by the Revolution Army.
"Yes! It must be that Golden Lion Shiki! The floating man who ate the Paramecia Float-Float Fruit, I've seen it in related archives!"
Kalifa nodded with certainty.
"The Water 7 incident, people under Golden Lion's command also participated in that operation. This must be his revenge!"
Ulti said.
"To do such an outrageous thing to Nami's hometown, it's absolutely unforgivable!"
Bonney clenched her small pink fists in anger.
"Hehehe, whether it's Golden Lion or Silver Lion, once they fall into my hands, they won't have a good time!"
Teapot Shukaku said confidently.
"But… this was several hours ago. Now we don't know where that Golden Lion has run off to!"
Vivi's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
"That arrogant old lion, I haven't even settled the score with him yet, and he… Don't worry, he won't escape!"
Roland's eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc, already harboring a killing intent.
Several minutes later, Roland's group and the villagers of Cocoyasi Village left the Black Shadow Kingdom and returned to Cocoyasi Village.
After instructing Robin and the others to handle the subsequent aftermath in the village, Roland and Thor split into two groups, intending to conduct a carpet search of the East Blue sky.
Upon learning of this decision, Nami immediately expressed her desire to join. Roland did not refuse.
After cautioning Nami that she must report immediately if she found Golden Lion and not to act rashly on her own, Roland's group split into three, with Roland, Thor, and Nami pursuing in three different directions.
At the same time.
The news of Roland's group suddenly appearing in the East Sea, encountering and clashing with Mr. Garp, reached the Navy Headquarters and the World Government immediately.
For a time, both the Navy Headquarters and the World Government were once again shaken!
