Devil Fruits possess power beyond miracles.
Those who eat Devil Fruits and transform into Devil Fruit users are capable of triggering that miracle.
However, it also depends on the person; if the user is not skilled enough, they will not be able to bring about a miracle.
But Kuro was certain that the 'Golden Lion' Shiki in front of him was definitely one of the people who caused the miracle.
In any world, natural phenomena are the most terrifying natural disasters.
And the Golden Lion is just able to control a part of it.
Mountains, seas, rain, and clouds are all under his control!
Large amounts of water rose in the sea, and the islands trembled and split apart, coalescing into a huge mountain. At the top of the mountain, a raging lion's head condensed, roaring at Kuro.
With the blessing of mountains and seas, the Golden Lion charged at Kuro, engaging him in a fierce battle using only his twin swords coated with Armament Haki.
Kuro, wielding a blade, fought against the Golden Lion while occasionally unleashing slashes to cut through the mountains and seawater.
Their swordsmanship skills were roughly equal.
One is capable of providing support, while the other is covered in Armament Haki.
He slashed at you but missed, and then a rock slammed into you, but was blocked by his domineering aura.
You launched a slash, but it was dodged by the flying creature and struck the mountainside instead.
The two sides continued their back-and-forth fighting, while the surrounding ground was gradually shattered.
...
On the other side, with a loud bang, Lida and Kro emerged, and the huge palace behind them collapsed with a crash.
They ultimately failed to find the potion. Indigo refused to tell them, and in the end, Lida made the decision: if they wouldn't tell, then they might as well destroy the palace along with it.
As soon as they stepped outside, they saw huge water lions flying everywhere in the distance, as well as the roaring, constantly moving mountain.
In the sky, a golden figure flew freely, occasionally unleashing a golden slash.
From the ground, golden slashes continuously rise, cutting through mountains and water masses, which then endlessly regenerate.
Then, the same golden aura collided.
The blade flashed, and the ground trembled.
Kro swallowed hard; he couldn't see what the two were doing at all.
"Kuro is injured."
Lida smacked her lips, casually found a large rock to sit on, and took out an apple to eat.
"Is it really okay to be so leisurely? There's a battle going on over there, aren't you going to help?" Kro pushed up his glasses, sweat appearing on his forehead.
"That's Shiki the Golden Lion, the great pirate!"
"Stop messing around. Can you even see how fast they attack? In a battle of this level, you'd only be causing trouble for Kuro."
Lida waved her hand, "When have you ever seen Kuro injured? Especially when he's fully wielding Armament Haki. If you get involved now, the enemy will just exploit that weakness. You'd better stay far away."
Doesn't she want to go there?
But Lida knew that there was no point in going through a battle of this level.
The opponent is a great pirate. Although neither of them said it was a one-on-one duel, the key point is that if they went there, they would only be a hindrance. Lida was very clear about this.
The best thing we can do is wait here.
"Besides, I have confidence in Kuro, so let's wait and see."
Lida took a big bite of the apple.
Although the other party is a legendary great pirate, that lazy bum is no pushover when he gets serious.
This observation lasted for five days.
The sun rose and set five times.
On the first day, Shiki was confident that Kuro would eventually give out due to his continuous slashing attacks and his full-body Armament Haki.
The next day, Golden Lion had some doubts. Was this guy about to run out of energy and was just putting on a brave face?
On the third day, the Golden Lion was very tired. Even though he carefully controlled his physical strength and did not waste a single bit, he was still very tired after three days.
Fortunately, Kuro, who seemed to have an inexhaustible stamina, was also showing signs of weakening. The power of his blade strikes was not as strong as before. Although it was still quite strong, the power had decreased, which was enough for Shiki!
I am the Golden Lion!
On the fourth day, Kuro's Armament Haki faded, leaving only the Haki on his blade. He continued to fight Shiki, who had also given up manipulating other matter and was now simply using his swordsmanship to fight Kuro.
Day 5...
when!
Shiki blocked Kuro's slash with one foot. The immense force forced him to retreat several steps. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kuro slashed back with his sword. Shiki was startled and quickly leaped forward.
laugh!
Shiki flashed into the air, catching his breath, but it was too late; another new wound appeared on his body.
At this point, the blood at the severed arm had dried, his clothes were tattered, and his entire body was covered in knife wounds.
Meanwhile, Kuro's condition wasn't much better. Since deactivating his full-body Armament Haki, he only occasionally covered parts of his body with Armament Haki to fight back when he couldn't avoid Shiki's attacks, but ultimately, it was impossible to defend against every attack.
He also had many wounds on his body.
It's not an option to leave it unresolved. Although Kuro is confident that he's younger than Shiki, his Armament Haki is ultimately limited. If he recklessly uses it up, he might run out of Haki before Shiki does.
Even so, it was enough to frighten the Golden Lion.
The amount of Haki is limited. Even an old guy like Garp can't fight with Armament Haki all over for several days in a row. In the end, this kind of fighting style is one that consumes energy very quickly.
But this kid managed to maintain this fighting style for several days in a row. His stamina and spirit were enough to frighten him.
"You've got some serious stamina!" Shiki said with a grim expression.
Kuro took a few breaths and said, "Old man, you're not bad either. Look, you're still not exhausted."
Golden Lion was determined to wear down Kuro's stamina, but Kuro had the same idea.
Because everyone knows that apart from exhausting their physical strength, there is no other way to defeat the opponent.
"Well, next time, I won't use this trick. It really takes a lot of energy."
After five days of exertion, he had expended a lot of his energy, but he also knew that the Golden Lion's stamina was nearing its limit.
Now is the time to harvest!
Kuro sheathed his sword, then drew it with a backhand motion, shouting, "Slash!"
The soaring slash, imbued with domineering power, suddenly surged towards the golden lion high in the sky.
"Foolish! I told you this is useless. It's just a waste of your energy and an extremely foolish way to fight!"
Shiki dodged to the side, letting the slash fly into the sky. Veins bulged on his forehead as he roared at Kuro, "At this point, you should restrain your Haki, wait for the enemy to show an opening, and then defeat them with one blow!"
"No, that's not how you use Haki. You should use it in crucial moments. With your combat talent, if you were more refined, you wouldn't be so tired right now!"
"You think it's cool to unleash advanced domineering aura out of thin air?!"
luxury!
That's too extravagant!
If he had Kuro's stamina, the outcome of the attack on Marine Headquarters back then would have been uncertain!
