Chapter 258: Shockwaves Across the Sea – The Death of the Golden Lion
"Did Golden Lion... die at the hands of Black Crow?"
At Marine Headquarters, Sengoku stared at the report in his hands with a complicated expression and couldn't help but sigh.
After all, they had once been old rivals. If not for being on opposing sides, he and the Golden Lion might have been friends. They had fought for so long that they'd developed a certain respect—even familiarity—for each other.
Moreover, after Roger's death, most of the major figures from that era had retired, disappeared, died, or been imprisoned in Impel Down. Familiar faces on the sea were growing fewer and fewer.
After a brief silence, Sengoku picked up the Den Den Mushi and dialed a number. As the snail phone began to ring, he gave a direct order.
"Report the news of Golden Lion's death truthfully."
Although the Navy hadn't killed him, the Golden Lion was still a world-famous pirate. His death was significant and could bring some stability to the people.
"Understood."
As Sengoku had said before—this was indeed a troubled time.
Meanwhile, on Fish-Man Island, inside Ryugu Castle.
King Neptune and Queen Otohime were listening to a report from their minister. Both their faces were filled with anger and helplessness.
