The Complete Golden Lion!
10,000 meters above sea level
The Golden Lion floated above the sea of clouds, its gaze fixed blankly on the horrific Battlefield below.
His meticulously planned beast tide, spanning decades, was so easily and completely thwarted by a few young naval juniors, turning into a pile of broken corpses and remains.
His trembling pupils revealed an unspeakable confusion and anger.
"My plan... my ambition..."
His fists clenched so tightly his teeth almost broke, and he suddenly erupted in a hysterical roar:
"If it weren't for this damn rudder!!"
With a roar, he clutched his head, the rudder wheel wound that had been embedded in his skull for years now throbbing with excruciating pain, blood slowly trickling down his forehead, blurring his vision.
Roy hovered quietly to the side, watching him silently, a faint hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
Defeating a former overlord who is physically and mentally crippled is meaningless.
After a moment, his gaze sharpened, and he slowly spoke, "Shiki, let's make a deal."
The Golden Lion was startled by these words, and stared blankly at Roy: "What... did you say?"
Roy slowly raised his Right Hand, spatial energy flowing endlessly at his fingertips, and whispered:
"Let me remove this rudder for you..."
His eyes gradually hardened, revealing an unparalleled fighting spirit:
"And you, let me see—"
"The true power that belonged to the overlords of Roger's era!"
The Golden Lion's eyes widened violently as he stared intently at Roy, his mind filled with suspicion and wariness.
"What exactly is this kid up to?"
However, facing his scrutinizing gaze, Roy remained calm, his eyes clear and pure, devoid of any deception or conspiracy, only burning with an intense desire to fight.
"Defeating Whitebeard... didn't really give me any real satisfaction."
Roy said calmly, "He was already too bound by so-called 'family ties,' and with Teach's betrayal, his spirit was shattered, and he never even managed to unleash seventy percent of his full strength!"
His gaze suddenly turned cold, and his Haki erupted like a volcano.
"What I want is to fight the old hegemons in a fair and square battle!!"
The sound reverberated like a great bell, echoing through the clouds and striking the very depths of the Golden Lion's soul.
Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion remained silent for a long time. His eyes first showed surprise and uncertainty, then gradually transformed into a burning fighting spirit. He grinned, revealing an extremely wild smile.
He threw his head back and laughed loudly, "Hahaha!! Interesting, absolutely interesting!!"
"Kid, you'll pay the price for this decision!!"
Before he could finish speaking, Roy had already Teleportation to the Golden Lion's side.
His Right Hand, imbued with spatial power, rested firmly on the ship's rudder.
The next moment--
"Whoosh--!"
With a slight tremor in the space, the ship's rudder, which had been deeply embedded in the Golden Lion's skull for decades, was perfectly removed from his head!
He then teleported both swords Teleportation from his legs, using spatial power to quickly seal the wounds and stop the bleeding, instantly relieving the intense pain.
In that instant, the glorious past surged into the Golden Lion's mind like a tidal wave—
Battle of Edd War
On the turbulent sea, his sword clashed fiercely with that of the Pirate King Roger. The clash of Conqueror's Haki shook the heavens and earth, tearing apart the boundless sky!
"Infiltrating the Marine Headquarters Alone"
Alone and full of ambition, he boldly marched to Marineford, engaging in fierce battles with Garp and Sengoku, traversing the heavens and earth, and causing the Marine Headquarters to be almost completely destroyed!
Memories of the past Impact against his soul like a tsunami, and his fighting spirit and heroic passion erupted like a volcano!
"This is truly Lao Tzu's era!!"
"Boom--!"
A powerful Conqueror's Haki suddenly spread out like a hurricane, and the violent shockwave instantly tore through the sea of clouds and shattered the void!
Between heaven and earth, Haki surged, and the winds and clouds changed color!
Roy's eyes sharpened, a smile of extreme excitement appearing on his lips. He then unleashed his Conqueror's Haki without hesitation.
"Boom--!"
Two powerful auras of dominance collided head-on, unleashing visible black and red lightning. In an instant, the wind howled, the clouds shattered, the earth trembled and shook violently, and the entire Floating Island shook violently!
The clash between two era-defining giants, transcending the boundaries of the old and new generations, has now erupted in full force!
On the floating island, a fierce wind raged and dark clouds surged!
Just as the two Conqueror's Haki collided fiercely at an altitude of ten thousand meters, the entire island trembled!
"Boom--!"
A shockwave carrying black and red lightning swept down, as if the might of the apocalypse had enveloped the entire Battlefield!
Smoker suddenly looked up, his eyes wide with horror, his pupils contracting sharply!
"That overwhelming Conqueror's Haki... What on earth is Roy doing?! Is he trying to tear the sky apart?!"
Zoro and Kuina stood on either side of the edge of the deck, their bodies trembling slightly under the pressure of the terrifying aura!
Zoro gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, sweat pouring down his face, yet he grinned with excitement.
"Is this... the aura of a top-tier expert...?"
"Damn it... One day, I'll reach that level too!!"
Kuina gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, her knuckles turning white. "Just resisting is already this difficult... but Brother Roy was able to confront that monster head-on..."
We still have a long way to go...
Usopp was deathly pale, already kneeling on the ground, cold sweat dripping from his chin, his teeth chattering uncontrollably.
"You're... just kidding, right..."
"The mere clash of their auras from ten thousand meters away... was enough to render someone immobile?!"
Sanji struggled to his feet, swaying precariously, the cigarette in his mouth already bitten off. "This level of combat... we..."
"I can't get involved at all..."
Smoker acted decisively, and Smoke Explosion, instantly engulfing the entire Warship!
The thick smoke quickly formed a flexible yet indestructible airflow barrier, instantly protecting all the unconscious marines and shielding them from some of the Impact of the Haki.
But Smoker, still looking anxious, roared, "Roy--!"
High in the sky, Roy, who was vying for supremacy with the Golden Lion, glanced sideways, raised an eyebrow, and instantly understood his intention.
"Well done, Smoker."
With a gentle wave of his left hand, spatial energy rapidly spread from his fingertips—
"Whoosh--!"
The next moment, the entire Warship, along with all the naval personnel on deck, vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye!
Roy Teleportation him to a safe area underwater, completely escaping the battle's blast radius!
Roy withdrew his gaze and looked back at the Golden Lion opposite him.
The Golden Lion was now completely transformed.
He hovered ten thousand meters in the air, his long golden hair dancing wildly in the gale, like a lion's mane billowing and galloping!
His eyes were bloodshot, his pupils were vertical, and his fighting spirit was overwhelming!
He held "Oto" and "Kogarashi" firmly in his grasp. Black and red Conqueror's Haki swirled around the blades like flames, tearing the air apart with mournful cries!
"Hahaha!! Roy... you little brat, you actually dared to do this!!"
"Now I am the complete Golden Lion!!"
He grinned maliciously, his killing intent surging like a tidal wave. "Are you ready to face... true hell?!"
Roy didn't say anything, but slowly assumed a punching stance.
Armament Haki rapidly covered his right arm like ink, while intense Conqueror's Haki also rose and intertwined, causing the space to tremble wherever his fist pointed!
"Bring it on--!"
