Chapter 373 The Golden Lion's Intrusion
Don Achino smiled and waved his hand casually, reassuringly saying, "Don't worry! This is just a simple contest. No matter who wins or loses, there won't be any serious consequences."
As soon as he finished speaking, Don Achino's children breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts finally settling back into their stomachs.
Immediately afterward, Don Achino activated his ability without hesitation. In an instant, a powerful energy surged within him, and with his will, this energy rapidly transformed into high-temperature steam.
Under the influence of high temperature, the steam seemed to come alive, churning and surging violently. It was like a herd of galloping horses, eagerly searching for an exit.
Suddenly, as if finding a breakthrough, the steam erupted from beneath Don Achino's feet, creating a powerful surge. This surge, like a rocket launch, propelled Don Achino into the air.
His body shot off like an arrow, hurtling towards the direction Aini had gone. Although he wasn't as fast as Aini, he was still incredibly fast.
Just as he was about to catch up with Aini, Don Achino suddenly stopped in mid-air. His eyes widened in shock.
Before him stood a strange island. This island defied the laws of gravity, hovering in the air! And atop the island stood a legendary pirate.
This pirate was tall and imposing, exuding a chilling aura. Behind him followed a group of equally ruthless pirates, each armed and looking menacing.
"Hiss!" Don Achino couldn't help but gasp, a strong sense of unease rising in his heart.
Holy crap!
Not to mention Don Achino, even Aini himself was utterly astonished and incredulous. He never dreamed that he would unexpectedly encounter this group of people at such a coincidental time and place.
When she came to her senses, Aini turned her head sharply, her eyes fixed on Don Achino, and said in a deep voice, "They're after me, you'd better leave!"
However, at this moment, Enni's expression and tone were unusually calm, as if the people standing in front of him were not a large pirate crew that surpassed the level of the Four Emperors, but just a group of insignificant little characters.
Don Achino stared at Enni for a long while, then suddenly grinned and said slowly, "I'd like to meet a pirate of this caliber." His words clearly indicated that he had already sided with Enni without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Aini was taken aback; he hadn't expected Don Achino to make such a decision. However, after only a moment of surprise, Aini burst into laughter, his laughter revealing a sense of pride and confidence.
"Hahaha!" Aini shouted, "Then you'll cover for me!" Before he finished speaking, he flashed away like an arrow, heading straight for the Golden Lion. His speed was as fast as lightning, leaving everyone speechless.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Enni landed gracefully in front of Shiki and the group of pirates, his movements elegant and composed, as if he were facing not vicious pirates, but a group of old friends he had known for a long time.
Such courage is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and even a well-traveled person like Don Achino was once again deeply shocked.
Not only him, but also Golden Lion and the pirates behind him were all dumbfounded, as if they had seen something extremely unbelievable.
In their minds, anyone facing such a formidable force would instinctively back down. After all, they were a pirate crew renowned throughout the seas! Even the three strongest admirals in the Navy probably wouldn't dare to confront them head-on.
However, the guy in front of them completely shattered their preconceived notions. Not only did he show no sign of backing down, but he also fearlessly charged forward, a courage and determination that was truly astonishing.
Golden Lion Shiki couldn't help but re-examine Enni, his previously somewhat dismissive gaze now turning serious. The pirates standing behind him, including Wakatsuki Hunter, Great Sake King, and Evil King, all showed expressions of surprise, clearly taken aback by Enni's performance.
After a moment of silence, the Golden Lion finally couldn't help but exclaim, "What courage!" His voice revealed a hint of admiration.
Then, Golden Lion continued, "I must say, you are the most outstanding junior I have ever seen since Shanks."
Upon hearing the Golden Lion's praise, the three—the Hunter, the Great Sake Drinker, and the Evil King—exchanged glances, and then the Evil King stepped forward and stood out.
"After leaving Impel Down, I heard stories of your deeds everywhere. To be honest, I didn't really believe it at first!" The Evil King looked at Aini with suspicion, seemingly still doubting his strength.
These words struck like a thunderbolt, resounding in everyone's ears. They not only revealed his true innermost thoughts but also echoed the sentiments of everyone present. Because Aini was simply too young, so young that they couldn't help but lament that their own lives had been wasted.
At the same time, these people were extremely confident in their own strength. They were all ruthless and vicious individuals, daring to throw punches without hesitation against even the most powerful enemies. Therefore, they naturally wanted to see for themselves whether this youngest Marine Admiral was truly as terrifyingly powerful as the legends suggested, comparable to the Four Emperors of the New World.
"Hahahaha!" Enni looked at the group of pirates who were eager to escape from Impel Down and suddenly burst into hearty laughter. The laughter grew more and more unrestrained and arrogant, as if the whole world could hear his mockery.
"A bunch of old geezers, looks like you've been locked up for too long, your brains have all gone haywire." Aini's words revealed undisguised contempt. However, right after he finished speaking, his expression suddenly turned serious, and his previously mocking gaze instantly became incredibly sharp.
"When you see me, you should turn and run immediately. Because that's the wisest choice you can make, and your only chance to survive." His voice was cold and authoritative, sending chills down your spine.
Before he finished speaking, Aini flashed forward and used the "Shave" move with lightning speed.
