Who is Shiki the Golden Lion? He was a famous pirate of the last era. Even the 'Pirate King' Roger did not believe that anyone could compete with Shiki the Golden Lion before he was defeated.
Powerful, domineering, arrogant, and bold—he possessed all the strengths and weaknesses of a strong person.
Three junior sailors sneaking onto the island?
There's nothing worth paying attention to.
Aside from the current world's greatest swordsman, the only others he cared about were Sengoku Garp, and among the Four Emperors, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom—his old friends and colleagues.
Red hair?
That kid who used to be on Roger's ship, even though he became one of the Four Emperors a few years ago, still doesn't take Shiki seriously.
His current position encompasses both the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.
"Roger cannot be defeated!"
Shiki sat atop the palace, gazing at the East China Sea projected onto the map, his eyes contorted with rage. "Damn World Government, damn the Navy! You've used underhanded tactics! Well then, I will destroy the East China Sea and declare war on you!"
The production and preparation of SIQ are almost complete. The only thing that is not yet finished is the number of ferocious beasts. There are still too few ferocious beasts on the island. For this reason, he still has to go back to the Grand Line to find powerful animals and then complete his final plan.
It won't take more than a few days.
Immediately, his plan...
call!
Inside the palace, a sudden gust of wind blew up, and the staff who were measuring the weather rolled their eyes back and collapsed to the ground.
Shiki paused for a moment, then his eyes narrowed, and he stood up. "Killing intent?!"
The killing intent is too strong. Who could be wielding such intense killing intent?
Kaido?
No, it was more out of spite.
Lingling?
It lacks a sense of dread; the murderous aura is too pure.
So who exactly is it?
...
At the edge of the central island, after Kuro swung his sword, all the creatures of this floating island group that couldn't withstand his killing intent fell, while the number of those who could withstand it was not many.
Kuro was still on the phone with the Den Den Mushi on his wrist. He was still a little unwilling to give up. He was about to face Shiki. If Kizaru answered the phone now, he would have an extra layer of protection.
However, this is obviously impossible.
After ringing for a while without being answered, Kuro sighed, hung up the phone, took off his wristwatch, and tossed it to Lida.
"If we don't take this seriously, people could really die."
He twisted his neck, loosened his hands and feet, took a step forward, exhaled deeply, assumed a drawing-sword stance, gripped the hilt of the [Hana-shu] sword tightly, and locked his Observation Haki onto the figure emanating a lion's madness in the distant palace.
Armament Haki enveloped [Hanashu], and just like when it cut the meteorite, the black aura was so dense that it seemed to be rising up.
brush!
The blade was drawn, and a black and gold crescent-shaped slash swept horizontally, heading straight for the royal palace.
Ideally, one should be able to kill the Golden Lion with a single blow...
Just as Kuro was indulging in his whimsical thoughts, the palace building was smashed open, and a vertical crescent-shaped slash, also black and gold, intersected with Kuro's slash.
BOOM!!!
The earth trembled, and dust floated upwards, only to come to a standstill as the two slashes collided.
Even this floating island seemed to have shifted downwards for no apparent reason.
"Tsk, Lida, Crow."
Kuro clicked his tongue and spoke to the two of them.
The two nodded and split up, heading towards the palace from the left and right respectively.
The Golden Lion might not consider their fighting prowess a threat, but they're more than capable of dealing with others.
Kuro couldn't recall the name of the potion on the island that drove the animals into a frenzy, but he knew that such a potion existed, and that such a thing was best to disappear as soon as possible.
In the sky, the golden lion's figure gradually moved upwards and flew rapidly towards Kuro's direction.
Soon, the figure of that legendary great pirate slowly descended.
Kuro looked up and finally saw the face of the legendary great pirate.
Swords were strapped to his legs, which served as his legs. A ship's wheel was stuck on his head. His golden hair hung down to his waist and abdomen. The amount of hair he had would have made many people in his previous life envious.
The golden lion, a cigar dangling from its lips, arrogantly raised its head and looked at Kuro:
"My name is 'Golden Lion' Shiki, and I'm a pirate. Kid, it's quite surprising that a Marine can exude such killing intent. But do you think you can easily defeat me by taking out the weaklings?"
He's not stupid. No matter how strong the killing intent is, it's just an aura, at most it can only intimidate some small fry.
The purpose was simply to clear the area.
But what's the point of clearing the area? He's the Golden Lion!
Shiki looked at the hilt of the sword Kuro was holding and praised, "Your slashing is quite good. It's a pity that someone like you is a Marine. Why don't you come and help me? We are both beings who use golden slashing. If you come and help me, after I die, you will be the next 'Golden Lion'."
Kuro twisted his wrist, and a beam of light slashed out from in front of him.
when!
Shiki raised his foot, the sword on his foot blocking Kuro's extremely fast strike. "Looks like he's refused."
Kuro stared at Shiki, a red glint flashing in his eyes, and sneered, "I'm even careful when I'm in the Navy, let alone being a pirate. Old man, wouldn't it be better to just live a quiet life in the old days? Why do you have to come out and cause trouble!"
As someone who's cowardly... no, someone who wants to be safe, Kuro usually doesn't want to fight, but when it really comes down to it, how could he not lend a hand?
That's a golden lion!
Unlike Hawkeye and Kizaru, whose battles were merely tests and exchanges, this time it was a clash of blades against blades, swordsmen against swordsmen, a battle of life and death!
If you're careless, people could die.
