Kuro's expression turned solemn. He had confirmed it: although the old man was old, his Armament Haki and Observation Haki were still at a terrifying level.

"call..."

Kuro took a deep breath, drew his sword again, covered it with Armament Haki, and let it rise up his hands, gradually wrapping around his body, hands, feet, and neck. Black Haki rose on his cheeks, forming two battle marks.

At first glance, it looks like it's wearing a suit of black armor.

"Oh? Going all out with your full power? How long can you last?"

Shiki laughed, "Foolish fellow."

In his eyes, unleashing one's full domineering aura is an extremely foolish act. Domineering aura is a kind of spirit, but its 'quantity' is limited and requires physical strength to support it. No matter how strong one's domineering aura is, it is enough to use it effectively.

Using skills like "Full Power" is useless and only wastes energy.

And at this level, do you think his sword can't cut through it?

"However, he is quite a powerful individual. Hey, Marine, what's your name?" Shiki asked.

“Lucir Kuro”.

Kuro revealed his full name this time.

Because this time, he will kill the Golden Lion.

If he doesn't kill him, he'll become famous.

If we kill him, who will know that we killed the Golden Lion?

Sensing the murderous intent in Kuro's eyes, Shiki chuckled, "Let me reintroduce myself. I am 'Golden Lion' Shiki, the user of the 'Float-Float Fruit.' I am a levitation man, capable of freely manipulating myself and all inanimate objects, like this..."

He grasped it with one hand and clenched it tightly.

"Lion's Might - Earth Strike!"

Rumble!!!

The earth shook violently, as if it had been lifted up. Countless rocks and clods of earth gradually dispersed and merged, gathering into several lion-shaped mountains that were large enough to blot out the sky. The tremors were like the roar of lions, surrounding Kuro.

Before this Lion Mountain, Kuro was as insignificant as an ant.

"Ability users are all freaks!"

Kuro cursed under his breath, gripped the hilt of his sword, and assumed an iaido stance.

"cut!"

The massive black and gold crescent-shaped slash headed straight for a lion mountain. With the enhancement of advanced Armament Haki, the slash swept across and shredded the mountain into dust.

Kuro repeatedly drew his [Flower State] sword, unleashing several consecutive slashes that shattered the Lion Mountain surrounding him into countless fragments.

"Oh? I see. So you were the one who destroyed the island I released earlier."

Shiki looked surprised. "But it's no use."

He clenched his fist again, and the mountains that Kuro had shattered into pieces reassembled, transforming back into the massive Lion Mountain.

Faced with this ability to freely manipulate objects, even if it is reduced to dust, its essence remains. Unless it disappears into thin air, no attack will be effective.

"cut!"

Kuro cleaved another attacking lion mountain into pieces with a single slash, then soared upwards on air, becoming a blur as he hurtled towards the golden lion.

He's crazy for opposing abilities; all he has to do is eliminate the ability users.

"Hahaha!"

Shiki laughed loudly, his body flying even faster than Kuro's, causing Kuro's extremely fast attack to miss its mark.

One simply walks on air, while the other flies freely. As long as he doesn't intentionally try to fight, Kuro can never catch up with him.

Kuro landed on the ground, gritting his teeth as he looked up at the golden lion in the sky.

"Get down here!"

"Come up here!"

"Get down here!"

"Go...Slash Wave!"

Shiki launched a kick, and a golden slash shot out from his foot. At the same time Shiki kicked out, Kuro sensed it and raised his hand to send out the same golden slash.

Bang!

The slashes collided, creating a shockwave in mid-air before exploding.

"Lion, True, Thousand-Heart Valley!"

A ferocious glint appeared in Shiki's eyes as he unleashed a flurry of kicks, unleashing a series of powerful black and gold slashes towards Kuro.

"I can do that too!"

Kuro's eyes hardened, and he swept his blade back and forth with incredible speed, unleashing a barrage of black and gold slashes that collided with the slashes above him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The air surged and the powerful collision crushed the Lion Mountain, raising clouds of dust that enveloped the two figures.

As the mountain crumbled, rocks flew everywhere, one of them piercing a large tree as it hurtled into the jungle.

*Smack*

Stones also flew towards Kuro, but were blocked by his Armament Haki and shattered into dust.

Kuro swung his sword fiercely, unleashing another slash that cleared away the smoke and dust. The slash flew into the air, but Shiki dodged it.

"Shishi Wei·Gosho Scroll!"

With a flick of his wrist, a giant wave surged from the floating sea, separating from the surface and transforming into a floating sea lion's head.

"Lion's Might - Earth Strike!"

At the same time, he opened his other hand, and Lion Mountain reappeared on the earth.

One piece of earth, one piece of water, one piece of land, one piece of sky, one in front, one behind, all simultaneously attacked Kuro.

"Moonwalk!"

Kuro stepped on the air and rose straight up.

However, at that moment, the golden lion swooped down, its feet together, its two swords merging into one, shooting straight at the target like a shuttle.

Kuro's eyes gleamed red, his Observation Haki already sensing the approaching golden lion. He sheathed his sword and faced the charging golden lion.

Since he's flying in the air, then let's prevent him from flying around!

"One-Sword Style: Swallow Return!"

brush!

Shiki felt a chill run through his body, as if he were surrounded by blades that were slashing at him.

"This move..."
