Chapter 455: The Golden Lion Has Found Uranus!

Since experimenting with the firepower of Pluto, many powerful members within the Infinite Pirates have been frantically engaging in one-on-one battles, team fights, and group brawls recently.

The goal is to enhance their combat strength as much as possible in this short period, even if they can't improve their hard power, at least they can boost their combat abilities, risk resistance, durability, and teamwork skills.

The Infinite Pirates are not alone in this; other pirate crews are doing the same.

Numerous pirate crews have already selected their combatants and are training their abilities while waiting for news from the Infinite Pirates.

After all, everyone knows that this upcoming battle will be far more intense and brutal than the one ten years ago, and one careless move could lead to death in the war.

"Damn pirates, what do they want? They made such a big fuss before, and now they're all quiet!"

Compared to the pirates' continuous preparations, the Navy is much more passive.

They have gathered many top-tier forces and other affiliated powers early on, waiting for the pirates to take further action, at which point they will make targeted decisions.

However, in recent times, the pirates have gone completely silent. They only know that the pirates have amassed power, but they have no idea what the pirates plan to do next.

And with the pirates inactive, the Navy and the World Government cannot act either. After all, they plan to wait for the pirates to come knocking before they take action, as they cannot directly invade the New World to trouble the pirates!

If they did that, they would undoubtedly be the ones to suffer defeat, so they dare not launch a strong offensive and can only defend passively.

"The only thing we can do now is to ask the Five Elders what to do. If we continue to drag this out, the sea routes we are responsible for may encounter various accidents, and the pirates that were suppressed in the three seas will rise again!"

Sengoku, feeling helpless, could only call the Five Elders for guidance.

However, the result disappointed Sengoku greatly; the Five Elders merely instructed him to maintain the status quo, and personnel above the rank of Rear Admiral were not to be reassigned casually.

Even if reassigned, they must ensure they can return to Marineford within a day!

Flying Pirates: "This is strange. Logically, we have searched most of the high altitudes around the world, yet we still haven't found any clues about the ancient weapon. Could it really not be flying in the sky?"

The Golden Lion was rapidly traversing the sky at hundreds of thousands of meters high.

Ever since he was struck by Uranus last time, the Golden Lion has mobilized a significant amount of flying power to continuously search for Uranus's whereabouts in the sky.

For over a decade, he has never stopped, and even occasionally when he has free time, he often flies up to search for the ancient weapon.

His goal is to find the ancient weapon, control it with his abilities, and claim it for himself.

However, after searching for so many years, he still hasn't found it, which has left the Golden Lion both furious and helpless.

Recently, as the pirates and the World Government are about to go to war, the World Government is likely to use the ancient weapon, so it may very well appear. Thus, the Golden Lion wants to take a chance and see if he can find the ancient weapon.

"Let's keep searching. Anyway, that guy Li Yuan hasn't sent any news yet. We'll continue searching until he does. If we really can't find it, then so be it!"

The Golden Lion said as he flew.

Perhaps it was true what they say: "When you try hard to plant flowers, they don't bloom; when you don't care, willows grow thick!"

Just as the Golden Lion was about to give up, he suddenly spotted a massive metallic hat floating in the distance.

"What is that!!"

Seeing this scene, the Golden Lion was incredibly excited and immediately accelerated towards it.

When he got closer, he discovered the true shape of the object. From the outside, it looked like a straw hat, but it was not a hollow straw hat; it was a solid straw hat.

Its exterior had a white metallic sheen, and it was enormous, with an estimated diameter of at least two thousand meters. It was floating in the air, moving at a steady speed—not fast, but not slow either.

Most importantly, its color was somewhat elusive; if the Golden Lion wasn't careful, he would have never noticed it.

It blended in closely with the surrounding clouds, causing people to instinctively overlook its presence, making them think it was just a white cloud! If Li Yuan were here, he would surely exclaim, "Isn't that a UFO?"

"Ancient weapon!!!!"

The moment he saw the object, the Golden Lion immediately concluded that this must be the legendary ancient weapon.

Just as the Golden Lion said, this is the ancient weapon Uranus controlled by the World Government!!

Not only had the Golden Lion sent people to search in the sky, but Li Yuan had also sent people to search in the sky and even outer space, and the intensity of their search was far greater than that of the Golden Lion.

Even Sharley's divination ability and Baccarat's luck ability were utilized, yet they still couldn't find any trace of Uranus.

But unexpectedly, this guy Golden Lion stumbled upon it by chance.

If Li Yuan knew, he would probably suspect that this guy also had some kind of lucky Conqueror's Haki like Buggy! "Hahaha, this is mine!!"

"I, the Golden Lion, will become the king of the world, and everyone will bow to me!"

The Golden Lion laughed heartily and approached Uranus at an incredible speed.

Now, the Golden Lion began to fantasize about obtaining the ancient weapon, secretly hiding it and not rushing to use it.

Then, as agreed, he would team up with Li Yuan to kill the Five Elders and destroy the World Government.

When it came time to compete with Li Yuan for the title of king of the world, he would reveal his trump card, and at that point, even Li Yuan would have to submit to him, the Golden Lion.

Ultimately, he, the Golden Lion, would become the king of the world, the Flying Pirates would conquer the entire world, and Li Yuan would follow behind him as a subordinate, dividing a portion of the territory for the Infinite Pirates, capturing all those pirates under Whitebeard, and finally unifying the world! Just thinking about that scene made the Golden Lion feel incredibly exhilarated!

Isn't this the scene he has always dreamed of? Holy Land Mariejois:

"Hm? Who is it!!"

As the Golden Lion approached Uranus within a kilometer, in the core of the newly built Pangea Castle in Holy Land Mariejois, the sleeping Imu suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

He clearly sensed that the self-protection mechanism of Uranus had been activated, which meant that someone had found the location of Uranus and was getting closer!

"No matter who you are, don't even think about taking my things from me!"

The dark power within Imu surged, instantly transforming him into a terrifying black monster!

The enormous monster was surrounded by countless dark forces continuously pouring out, but after spreading out for several meters, the dark power vanished without a trace, as if something was devouring this dark energy.
