Chapter 104 The power of the Floating Fruit!
"clang!!!!"
A deafening golden sound rang out from the tavern. Shi Ji saw that a navy officer had blocked his attack, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Although he was just planning to "casually" help Roger clear the burdens on the other party's ship, not everyone could withstand such a slash. The young sailor in front of him who blocked his attack with a blue ice sword was quite strong!
"Hahaha!"
"Hey, hey, hey, am I seeing this right?"
"The navy helped the pirates block my attack?!"
Shiki laughed and raised the long sword in his hand, pointing it at Kuzan and mocking him. At this time, everyone in the tavern had reacted. After hearing Buggy shout "Golden Lion Shiki", the guests recognized the middle-aged man who entered the tavern.
The guests didn't even bother to watch the fun anymore and hurried out of the tavern. The navy men who had been sitting at the bar also raised their spears and gathered behind Kuzan, pointing their guns at Shiki the Golden Lion.
Even Yoriichi Tsugikuni was standing beside Kuzan at this moment, looking at the golden lion Shiki standing in front of him with a knife with a serious expression.
"Golden Lion Shiki actually met someone like you in a place like this."
"I don't know whether our luck is good or bad."
Kuzan watched the other party put away his knife, holding the ice sword in both hands without any slackness, and also looked at Shiqi with a serious expression.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"I didn't expect that the navy would appear here."
"And he helped the pirates block my attack."
"Kid, are you going to stop me?"
As Shiqi spoke, his companions following behind him also sneered, drew their long swords from their waists, and surrounded the navy in the center.
There were not many people on Kuzan's side, only a dozen or so. They just got off the ship to check the terrain. Most of the navy stayed on the ship.
However, the number of pirates Shiki brought with him was more than twice that of the navy, and the number was not proportional at all. Moreover, each of these pirates was very fierce and far more powerful than the navy.
“It’s hard to say whether to stop it or not.”
"But as a pirate like you, we as the navy must stop you from doing what you want to do."
"That's all."
As Kuzan spoke, his body turned into a ball of ice mist and disappeared on the spot.
The next second, Kuzan appeared behind Shiki, and the ice sword in his hand slashed directly towards Shiki's back.
After recognizing the other party as Shiki the Golden Lion, Kuzan was already prepared to take action.
Shiki the Golden Lion is one of the most famous pirates in the ocean today, on par with pirates like Roger and Whitebeard. His bounty is a terrifying 3.7 billion berries, which is even higher than Roger's who has not yet returned from Raftel.
Shiki the Golden Lion is different from the Roger Pirates. The pirate in front of him is a real pirate, brutality, ambition, and strength, he has all the three.
As soon as Kuzan saw these people, he knew that without a fierce battle today, it would be difficult for their navy to escape from the enemy!
Yes, get away!
Kuzan had no intention of defeating Shiki the Golden Lion; he simply wanted to buy time for his men to escape.
When attacking Shiki the Golden Lion, Kuzan had already gambled his life and made the decision to be a Brigadier General!
"Yuichi, take the others and go first!"
The ice sword in Kuzan's hand quickly slashed towards the back of the Golden Lion Shiki. While attacking the opponent, Kuzan did not forget to remind Tsugikuni Yoriichi to lead his subordinates to escape quickly.
"How dare you take the initiative to attack me?!"
"Natural? No wonder he's so arrogant!"
Shiki noticed Kuzan the moment he came behind him. Seeing Kuzan's way of moving, Shiki immediately knew that the other party was a person with special abilities, and a rare natural fruit ability user at that.
While speaking, Shiki had already swung the long sword in his hand and directly blocked Kuzan's attack sideways.
The ice sword imbued with Armament Haki collided with Shiki's famous sword, Deadwood, and another crisp golden sound rang out in the tavern.
However, in this confrontation, Shiki was obviously more serious. The ice sword in Kuzan's hand seemed unable to withstand the opponent's terrifying power, and obvious cracks had already appeared.
"Haha! Go to hell, Marine!"
Shiki roared, and with his other hand he quickly pulled out another long sword from his waist, and slashed directly at Kuzan from the other side. Shiki, the Golden Lion, is a two-sword swordsman!
“!”
The Golden Lion drew his sword very quickly. Although Kuzan's Observation Haki detected the opponent's attack, his body's movements could not keep up with his perception.
He could only use the power of the fruit, and his body turned into ice mist. However, Kuzan's elemental transformation speed was still not fast enough, and Shiki's blade was already approaching Kuzan.
“Boom!!!!”
Just when Kuzan was about to be hit by Shiki, a deafening thunder suddenly erupted in the tavern, and a figure suddenly disappeared beside Shanks, Buggy and others. In the blink of an eye, a crisp golden sound rang out from the tavern.
"clang!!!!"
There was a loud bang, and Shiki's smile froze on his face. The marine who was about to die under his sword was actually saved!
At this time, in front of Shiki, there was a red-haired boy standing, holding the knife in both hands, blocking Shiki's fatal blow for Kuzan.
"I blocked it."
"That marine actually blocked the Golden Lion Shiki's slash?!"
Shanks was looking at the swords of Tsugikoku Yoriichi and the Golden Lion Shiki in the distance in shock, his face full of disbelief. At this moment, Buggy secretly pulled the corner of Shanks' clothes.
Shanks turned around and looked at Buggy. He then seemed to realize something and secretly retreated behind the navy with Buggy, intending to slip away through the back door.
At this time, the navy's attention was focused on Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Shiki and others, and no one paid any attention to Shanks and Buggy.
Although Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and Kuzan noticed it, they didn't have the time to care about them at the moment.
As for Shiki, he just glanced at Shanks and Buggy who were sneaking away, and then focused his attention on Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Kuzan in front of him.
Compared to the two little devils on Roger's side, he was more interested in the two navy men in front of him.
"There are young people like you in the navy."
"If I let you get away, you might cause me a lot of trouble in the future."
"I'll kill both of you right here."
"ha!!"
Shiki whispered, followed by a loud shout.
The moment his voice fell, the ground began to shake violently, and the ground under Kuzan and Ji Guoyuan's feet suddenly floated up inexplicably.
At this moment, Shiki himself quickly disappeared in front of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi and Kuzan, flew directly up, broke through the roof of the tavern and rose into the air.
"boom!!"
Large chunks of soil began to peel off from the ground, and the walls and roof of the tavern began to disintegrate under the action of a powerful lifting force. In the tavern, the ground under the feet of Tsugakuin Yuichiro and Kuzan began to rise rapidly, quickly carrying Tsugakuin Yuichiro and Kuzan away from the ground.
It quickly left the ground.
At this time on the ground, when Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Kuzan were taken into the air, the pirates with Golden Lion began to attack the navy.
Roars and screams continued to be heard from the battlefield on the ground.
When Tsugumi Yoshiichi heard the sound, his expression froze slightly. Just as he was about to make a flying slash towards the ground, the figure of the golden lion suddenly floated in front of Tsugumi Yoshiichi.
He swung his knife directly at Yuichiro Tsugikuni.
Yuichiro Tsugikoku in mid-air noticed the attack, quickly turned around, and blocked himself with the long sword in his hand.
But the next second, the ground under Ji Guoyuanyi's feet suddenly lost its lift, and Ji Guoyuanyi felt his feet were empty. The next second, the terrifying force poured directly on Ji Guoyuanyi's body. Ji Guoyuanyi, who had no fulcrum in the air, had strength but could not exert it at all. He only had time to raise his knife to block, and then was directly knocked to the ground by Shiqi.
“Bang!!!”
Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's body disappeared in mid-air in an instant. The next second, thick smoke and dust rose from the ground, engulfing Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's figure. The terrifying spider-web-like cracks spread rapidly outward from the point where Tsugakuin Yoshiichi landed.
Shiqi looked down, smiled brightly, and looked at another marine in the air - Kuzan, holding a cigar.
