Little golden lions, with bewildered expressions, floated in the air. This was an advanced technique of Gildarts’ Crush magic. In Fairy Tail, he’d once used it on his friend Natsu, turning him into a bunch of tiny Natsu’s. Against an enemy, however, it would have just turned them into a pile of minced meat.

"What... what’s going on?" Not only was the Golden Lion completely dumbfounded, but Crocodile was just as confused. He’d been sure Gildarts was about to turn the Golden Lion into dust, but instead, he became a bunch of little lions.

"Ugh... that looks disgusting," Buggy grumbled, disgusted by the Golden Lion’s scattered state.

The Golden Lion knew he was outmatched. He couldn’t keep this up, so he had no choice but to concede. With a wave of his hand, Gildarts reformed the little golden lions back into a single, complete Golden Lion.

After the fight, everyone had a new appreciation for Gildarts’ power. He was a top-tier fighter. But that led to a horrifying thought: if he was this strong, what kind of monster could have beaten him so badly that he was missing a leg and an arm?

"I guess it could only be Garp," the Golden Lion muttered to himself.

At that moment, Ace and Bullet woke up in Ikki’s pocket and began to squirm. Feeling the commotion, Ikki let them out. The two men, looking as if they’d just had a refreshing nap, were energized and ready to fight again.

"Hey! We have other things to do. Your fight can wait," Ikki told them. He then turned to Bullet. "So, have you made up your mind? Are you joining us? If not, you can leave now, I won’t force you."

Bullet fell silent, deep in thought. What would he do on his own? He looked at Ace. "Are you really Roger’s son?"

Evil Thoughts Ace nodded. "That’s right."

"Fine! I’ll come with you. I hope you can give me some of the new life and excitement that Captain Roger once did."

Ace grinned, putting a hand on Bullet’s shoulder. "Don’t you worry. I promise to thrill you to death!"

Just like that, Bullet joined the crew. He’d sign the private Marine appointment letter later and become an official member of the group.

With Bullet sorted, Ikki looked at Buggy, Crocodile, and the Golden Lion, who all knew what he was asking. They were all deep in their own thoughts. Finally, the Golden Lion spoke first. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"I’ll join you, but... I want what you used to heal Gildarts."

"Huh? You’re injured?" Ikki asked, confused. In the original story, the Golden Lion had to rip his own legs off to escape, so if that had happened, Ikki wouldn’t be surprised. But this Golden Lion looked fine.

"Does he have some kind of secret illness?" Ikki wondered, glancing down at the Golden Lion’s crotch. "Senzu Beans can heal injuries, but they won’t cure something like infertility."

The Golden Lion’s face turned into a scowl, and he bit his cigar in half. "You jerk! It’s not that!" he yelled, pointing to the ship’s rudder stuck in his head. "I want to heal this injury. Back when I fought Roger, a rudder got stuck in my head.

I thought it looked cool at first, but later I realized it was messing with my Haki. My Observation and Armament Haki started to weaken, and my Conqueror’s Haki disappeared completely. But now it’s too late to take it off. It’s connected to my brain, and pulling it out would be too dangerous."

Ikki finally remembered. This was from the legendary Battle of Edd War. The Golden Lion had almost wiped out the entire Roger Pirates fleet, but a sudden storm, a classic protagonist-aura moment, saved Roger’s crew and destroyed most of the Golden Lion’s fleet. It was during that battle that the rudder got lodged in his head.

It was no wonder that a pirate of his caliber had lost to Luffy. He’d been consistently beaten by the power of protagonists’ auras and was later even educated by Garp. It was a miracle the Golden Lion hadn’t completely lost his mind.

Seeing the strange look on Ikki’s face, the Golden Lion knew he was thinking something rude again.

"Okay," Ikki said, taking out a Senzu Bean and handing it over. "This is the all-healing Senzu Bean."

The Golden Lion took the bean with a look of pure excitement. He knew Ikki wouldn’t lie to him. He was surrounded by people like Ace and Gildarts, all stronger than him. If Ikki wanted to hurt him, there was no need for trickery.

Staring at the bean, he imagined his strength returning to its peak. He could finally face Garp again... Wait, where did that crazy thought come from? He shook his head and, without a moment’s hesitation, pulled the rudder from his head. Blood gushed from the wound, and he could even see a part of his brain. He swallowed the Senzu Bean instantly.

The wound vanished, and the Golden Lion’s head was completely healed. As for the Senzu Beans, they were valuable, but Ikki had so many of them from his draws that they were practically a common item to him.
