"Slash Wave!"

Outside the royal palace, fierce fighting continues on the island.

As Kuro unleashed several water dragons, Shiki's expression turned serious. He kicked out several slashes, cleaving open the bodies of these water dragons.

"It's not just the shape of a dragon, but also a dangerous aura. If you come into contact with it, it will probably cause a lot of trouble."

Even without experiencing it firsthand, Shi Ji could tell from looking at these water dragons that they were definitely not to be touched.

"Shishi Wei·Gosho Scroll!"

With a single clench of his hand, the water he had cleaved transformed back into several water lion heads, gathering around him and falling towards Kuro like meteorites.

Kuro's expression turned solemn as he prepared to unleash a slash. Just then, a tremor shook behind him, and rocks and clods of earth coalesced to form Lion Mountain, which then engulfed him.

"cut!"

Kuro turned around and shattered Lion Mountain. Suddenly, his pupils contracted, his arm became a blur, and the posture of his horizontal slash changed immediately. He twisted his body and slashed to his side.

when!

Blade clashed with sword, and the golden lion appeared to his side, grinning maliciously.

Bang!

A ball of water, resembling a lion's head, struck Kuro squarely. The water pressure and the force of the high-speed movement caused him to lose his balance and stagger to the side.

The flaw was revealed in that instant.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Golden Lion dodged Clow's sword and kicked straight at his body.

Bang!

The sword blade, coated with Armament Haki, tore through Kuro's clothes and remained embedded in his equally Armament Haki-coated skin.

In that instant, Kuro steadied himself and thrust his sword straight into Shiki's heart.

Bang!

Golden Lion was stabbed in the heart by Kuro's sword, the force of which made him stagger back several steps. At the same time, Kuro was also kicked to the side by Golden Lion.

brush!

Kuro didn't stop after moving a few steps. He cleaved a water lion's head that was attacking from the side into several water droplets, and then looked at the golden lion.

His clothes were also torn at the chest, and the Armament Haki was slowly fading from his chest skin.

Just then, the remaining water lions in the sky rapidly approached Kuro.

Kuro assumed a horse stance, and [Hanashu] swiftly sheathed itself.

"One-Sword Style: Slashing in All Directions!"

Click.

The blade is sheathed.

laugh!

Eight slashes burst forth from all directions of Kuro, cleaving open the water lion heads.

Kuro looked up at the Golden Lion, who was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other, and simultaneously revealed a sinister smile.

Kuro said, "Old man, don't use such petty tricks."

"If I can cut you down, then it's no small feat."

Shiki laughed heartily, completely unaffected by Kuro, "How long can you hold me off?!"

Several enormous water lion heads reappeared in the sea, and after a tremor, mountains rose up again, joining the golden lion in attacking Kuro.

"You're so persistent!"

The Haki on Clow's blade intensified, and with Moonwalk, he effortlessly shattered a mountain before heading towards Golden Lion.

[Huazhou] unleashed a powerful slash, colliding with the Golden Lion's twin swords.

when!

The blades clashed, and the two moved with incredible speed.

Shiki grinned maliciously, his feet rising and falling repeatedly. Although he used his feet, his slashing power and swordsmanship were no less than Kuro's, who used his hands.

Kuro deflected Shiki's sword with a swift movement, then slashed at his head.

bite!

Golden Lion bent his right leg high to block Kuro's sword, then pushed Kuro away with a knee strike. Kuro staggered backward and slashed at the incoming water lion with a backhand strike.

"Azure Dragon!"

The water clump, split in two, transformed into two dragons that charged toward the other water lions. Then, as if sensing something, Kuro used Moonwalk to leave from his original position.

A golden slash shot from the direction Kuro had originally come from, and landed on the ground, carving a deep trench.

Kuro didn't even look, and immediately unleashed the same slash.

Shiki flew away from the sky, dodging the slash, and spun towards Kuro.

"Lion - Thousand Cut Valley!"

Swish swish swish swish!

Spinning high in the air, golden slashes rained down like a barrage of bullets.

"I'll kill!"

Kuro also swung his sword repeatedly, his body changing direction as the golden lion moved, his golden slashes touching the golden lion's.

Both are flying slashes, and in this case, there is no winner or loser.

But the Golden Lion has an extra ability.

Kuro suddenly sensed something and quickly jumped away. He saw the stone on the spot bulge out and turn into a sharp spike.

This stuff has no effect on his Armament Haki, but if it hits him, it will expose an opening.

Armament Haki is not an absolute defensive barrier. If it hits you, you won't be injured, but you'll still be in the same situation. Those with greater strength can still repel Armament Haki.

Similarly, these ground spikes will still cause sluggishness to Kuro's body.

Shiki, who was continuously unleashing slashes from the air, smiled. With a clench of his hand, he used the same old trick: lion heads condensed in the sea and on the ground. At the same time, the earth surged, and a large number of earth spikes twisted and took shape.

"Let's see how you manage to find a place to stand!"

"This ability... developed to this extent, a great pirate is still a great pirate, there's nothing you can do about it!"

Kuro swept away the nearby spikes with a single slash, ignoring the incoming attack, and then used two fingers to slash at the blade.

"The Mysterious Art of the Unknown Divine Style: Black Tortoise!"

Bang bang bang bang!

Lion Mountain, Water Lion, and Earth Spikes all seemed to have encountered some kind of barrier, colliding and shattering near Kuro.
