"Boom!!"
The massive slash, carrying terrifying power, struck Golden Lion directly!
"Damn it!!" Amidst splashing blood, Golden Lion roared in agony, his face contorted, crashing straight towards the ground.
He was the great Golden Lion, yet he was being suppressed by a mere brat! What kind of joke was this!?
"Roar..."
The ground collapsed, cracking open.
Without any regard for the injuries on his body, Ichiji's right fist, coated in Haki, plummeted downwards fiercely, absolutely not wanting to give Golden Lion a chance to breathe.
"Shishi Odoshi: Jijuan!! (Lion Threat: Earth Scroll!)"
The entire landmass roared violently, instantly being ripped upwards.
"Roar——"
Rolling, compressing, forming a massive lion head, hundreds of meters tall.
Lifelike, exuding the majesty of the king of beasts, the enormous lion, somewhat terrifying to behold, lunged towards the indifferent Ichiji!
"Gyahahaha, damn stinking brat, go die for me!!!" Golden Lion flew up abruptly, continuously flying backward, trying to create distance from Ichiji. He didn't believe that strange gravitational pull was without limits!
Simultaneously, his right hand curled its five fingers slightly, directly manipulating the giant lion to roar and attack Ichiji.
"Shua——"
The sky instantly darkened.
"Dark Erosion! (Hei'an Qinshi!)"
Endless black smoke continuously erupted from Ichiji's body, filled with strangeness.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, it spread across the entire landmass and continuously covered the giant lion, like a black hole wanting to swallow it whole.
"Roar——"
The giant lion was covered by darkness but still roared, filled with a heart-palpitating, sinister aura.
It was as if a giant hole had suddenly appeared in the sky, dark like the abyss of hell, carrying an inexplicable attraction, making one's scalp tingle involuntarily.
"Boom..."
The ground trembled violently! Amidst flying rocks, dust rolled!
Ichiji, like lightning, dodged the giant lion's attack, streaking directly towards the continuously rising Golden Lion. The darkness was constantly eroding and devouring the giant lion created by Golden Lion, but it still required a considerable amount of time.
"Gyahahaha, that level isn't enough to deal with you..."
Golden Lion continued flying backward, striving to create distance from Ichiji, then suddenly clenched his fist: "Then, how about this!!"
He was basically certain now. As long as sufficient distance was created, that brat definitely couldn't lock onto him with his ability again.
Otherwise, he should have directly used the ability to pull him over just now, absolutely wouldn't have given him the chance to continue creating distance.
"Boom boom boom......"
The ground continuously rumbled, forcefully ripped upwards.
An area spanning over a thousand meters, all lifted up! The scene was extremely shocking!
Golden Lion completely cast aside his reservations, utterly disregarding that this was his old lair, only wanting to quickly slaughter this red-haired brat who made him feel disgraced.
On the other side.
Gin was no longer clashing head-on with "Raging Tiger" Boris. His tech boots ejected powerful gas, keeping him suspended in mid-air. Combined with Geppo and Soru, he was exceptionally agile in the air, occasionally kicking out several slashes to harass Boris.
"Swish, Pa..."
Accelerated by the propulsion of his tech boots, Gin's figure moved like electricity. Boris, relying on terrifying jumping power and speed, leaped towards the sky each time, only to be narrowly dodged.
"Damn it!"
Boris, landing from mid-air, roared angrily. His massive beast body contracted, transforming into his Human-Beast form.
"Rankyaku Ran! (Tempest Kick: Disorder!)"
Before landing, Gin seized the opportunity and directly kicked out several sharp slashes!
"Swish swish..." One sharp slash after another struck the Raging Tiger, who found it difficult to dodge in mid-air, like lightning.
"Roar......"
That incomparably sturdy body spurted several streams of blood.
Boris was fundamentally unaffected, his gaze fixed murderously on Gin in mid-air, filled with intense killing intent and ferocity.
Suspended by his tech boots, Gin looked at Boris, who seemed fine despite being hit by Rankyaku, and felt inwardly shocked. "After 'Awakening,' Zoans are truly terrifying! Both recovery power and vitality are astonishingly strong!"
"Fortunately, I just need to try my best to hold him off. Next depends on His Highness's side."
"Shua shua..."
"Hehaha, hospital!"
"Steel Drill" Blair laughed wildly, his right arm already completely transformed into a drill cone, spinning madly. Coated in pitch-black Haki, he charged violently towards Byrne in front.
"Armament: Hardening!"
Byrne raised his fist, wrapped in Armament Haki, clashing head-on.
The pitch-black right fist and the sharp drill tip continuously deadlocked and collided, erupting with intense shockwaves.
"Useless! Before this invincible drill, your Armament Haki simply can't block......" "Steel Drill" Blair sneered ceaselessly, somewhat proudly.
"Bang!"
Not continuing the deadlock, Byrne's figure explosively retreated, creating distance.
"Never intended to defeat you anyway!" He glanced at his already bleeding right fist and spoke very calmly.
Their mission, from start to finish, was just to engage these few executives, preventing them from causing trouble for Ichiji.
"Kekeke, body... target..."
Continuously suppressed by Griz Bode, the somewhat fierce Dr. Indigo sneered, large numbers of chemical spheres constantly merging together.
And not far away, several pirates who hadn't been knocked out earlier but whose combat power was greatly diminished had already been dealt with by Cavendish and Law, who were about to rush over.
"Roar——"
Very abruptly, a roar shook the heavens!
It made eardrums ring, almost causing people to lose their footing.
The entire island trembled violently, rumbling incessantly.
A massive shadow loomed over, darkening the light, sending chills down spines involuntarily.
"What happened?"
"That is? Could it be......?"
"Gulp! Too exaggerated!"
Eyes wide, utterly shocked, staring at the extremely exaggerated giant black shadow in the distance—at least a thousand meters tall, practically blotting out the sky—Cavendish, Law, and the others couldn't help but gape, cold sweat dripping continuously!
With such an exaggeratedly huge body, probably just one claw swipe could crush the few of them into bloody paste.
"Gyahahaha, brat......"
At the center of the massive lion's forehead was a huge space. Giant metal bars crisscrossed there, protecting Golden Lion entirely within. He laughed savagely: "This time, let's see how your ability pulls me over......"
"Shishi Kōhō!!! (Lion Roar Cannon!!!)"
"Roar——"
The giant lion suddenly opened its mouth and roared! Deafening, making eardrums buzz incessantly.
One sphere after another, tens of meters in diameter, shot out violently, bombarding Ichiji, who was wrapped in darkness, appearing small enough to be negligible!
"Boom boom..."
"I was afraid I might accidentally... crush you!"
Dodging several impacts from the giant spheres, Ichiji directly charged towards the massive lion, veins bulging all over his body, muscles tensing. "Don't die on me, Golden Lion!"
Haki wrapped around, firmly covering both fists, carrying the dark, cold glint of metal.
Terrifying momentum continuously surged!
"This oppressive feeling......"
Even "Raging Tiger," Gin, and the others, already over a thousand meters away, couldn't help their expressions changing drastically, feeling somewhat terrified.
"Roar——"
"I am the Golden Lion! How could I possibly lose to a mere brat! Die!!"
Golden Lion's face was savage, somewhat hysterical. The incomparably massive lion roared, forcefully lifting a giant claw resembling a mountain, and violently swatted down towards the figure in mid-air!
Fierce gales howled incessantly! Just the intense wind pressure alone made it impossible to open one's eyes!
"Shishi Odoshi: Kūgeki!!! (Lion Threat: Air Strike!!!)"
"Hirudora!!! (Daytime Tiger!!!)"
Muscles rippled constantly all over his body! Unparalleled power continuously accumulated, converged, erupted! Violently smashing towards the giant black shadow that blotted out the sky!
The next moment——
"Voom——"
Air compressed, vibrated!
"ROAR!!!"
The phantom image of a giant tiger roared in mid-air, carrying incomparably ferocious power, making one tremble involuntarily, forcefully smashing against
