Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

"It's really him!"

In the antique cabin, Hancock couldn't wait to open the tattered newspaper.

Then she stared at the young figure on the front page.

Boa Hancock's beautiful face was no longer filled with arrogance and indifference like in the past but was full of excitement instead.

"Although he has changed a lot, it should be him..." Not only her but also Sandersonia and Marigold were shocked and couldn't calm down.

"Our... benefactor!" Marigold's voice trembled.

"I didn't expect that he would betray the World government..." 

Sandersonia couldn't believe it.

"It's really something he would do, but to make a scene in Enies Lobby alone..."

Boa Hancock tightly grasped the newspaper, tried her best to calm down her inner fluctuations, and said in a deep voice: "After all, eight years ago, when he was only nine years old, he dared to disobey the order of the World Government in Sabaody Archipelago, risk his life to kill other world government officials present and let us go!"

"Such a daring act is not something that ordinary people can do!"

She stared at the young and handsome teenager.

She couldn't calm down, and her past memories gradually came to her mind...

Twelve years ago, when they were included in the Kuja Pirates crew, they were kidnapped by slavers and sold to the Celestial Dragons, making them slaves...

Four years later, the Fisher Tiger climbed up the Red Line alone, took advantage of the lax guards in Mary Geoise, set fire everywhere, and rescued countless slaves.

She was only sixteen years old that time and she and her two sisters were also released and fled to Sabaody Archipelago.

At that time, although he was only nine years old, he was sent out to perform tasks at a young age because of his outstanding performance in daily life and was assigned the task of capturing those escaped slaves.

When the three sisters were blocked by several CP agents and looked desperate.

That inconspicuous boy among the CP agents... actually took action at that time.

With a strength that was completely inconsistent with his age, he killed the other agents present cleanly and neatly and then let them go.

"The weak cannot survive in this cruel world!"

"Since you have finally gotten rid of your slave status, cherish the hard-won freedom and work hard to become stronger!"

"My name is Obask Luke... I hope you will become stronger when we meet again next time!"

Recalling those past memories and then looking at the young figure in the newspaper, Boa Hancock sighed softly: "I really want to see him again!"

"Indeed..." The two sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold, also smiled and said: "Tsk tsk, the boy in the past has grown into a handsome guy!"

Looking at the handsome boy in the photo.

The corners of her lips raised slightly while Hancock nodded in approval: "It's very handsome!"

"Woohoo..."

"Splash..."

In the unknown sea, the Thriller Bark moves forward against the wind and rain.

The weather on the Grand Line changes at any time.

The sun was shining brightly, but it turned into pouring rain in the blink of an eye.

"Drip..."

In the gorgeous castle, Luke looked at the heavy rain outside the window.

Thinking of his experience in the past, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

But he didn't know that the news that he killed his boss, made a scene in Enies Lobby, and rebelled against the World government attracted the attention of Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress.

"The gold mine of the Kingdom of Karos was ransacked..." Looking at the report in the newspaper about a kingdom with rich gold reserves that disappeared overnight.

Luke's eyes flashed.

"Golden Emperor? Don't let me down..." The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Being able to completely mine a large gold mine in such a short time and turn it into a worthless waste mine.

In all likelihood, it was the ability of the Paramecia: Gol-Gol Fruit.

In the year 1507 of the Sea Circle Calendar, when he had just turned nine years old, he had already mastered the six superhuman fighting skills.

His extremely high talent attracted the attention of the higher-ups, and he was trained as a key person. Then, he was often arranged to leave CP's training base, Guanhao Island, to perform missions and fight.

Back then, when Fisher Tiger risked the world's condemnation, climbed to the top of the Red Line with his bare hands, set fire to the holy land Mary Geoise, and let a large number of slaves go.

He was sent to the Sabaody Archipelago to capture the escaping slaves.

At that time, Luke and several CP agents blocked the three Gorgon sisters.

But of course, he didn't let them go out of kindness.

Not only did he know the other party's potential and background and wanted to make a good relationship, but also, because of his innate Observation Haki had already sensed that there was a very amazing breath approaching...

Judging that it was most likely Rayleigh who was approaching.

He killed several other CP agents present without hesitation and let them go.

And Gild Tesoro, who was also among the escaping slaves at the time.

Luke had already been eyeing him and secretly subdued him.

He also gave him the six superhuman fighting skills training method.

Five years ago, he arranged for Gild Tesoro, who had been trained for several years and was already strong, to create chaos at the Sabaody Archipelago auction house and snatch the Gol-Gol Fruit that the Donquixote family used to attract customers but was not prepared to sell.

However, after Gild Tesoro had power, he thought he could control his destiny.

Obviously, his ambitions gradually expanded, and he was no longer as humble as before and was willing to be inferior to others.

Due to Luke's special status, it was not convenient for him to show up often.

The two had been out of touch for a long time.

"You can't wait to break free from your chains before your wings are even hard enough? Hahaha..."
