"Kid, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue for talking big!"
"Lion - Thousand-Cut Valley!"
The Golden Lion remained silent, swinging its body and crossing its legs in the air, as more than a dozen sword energies followed one after another.
"Lightning Metallurgy - Thunder God's Halberd!"
The Golden Tonfa in his hand was refined into a halberd, and with the enhancement of Armament Haki, it became indestructible.
Enel used this to continuously block Golden Lion's attacks, while his thunderous body rapidly approached him.
"Clang!"
Thunder God's Halberd clashed with the Kogarashi and Sakura Ten. A look of pain flashed across Golden Lion's face, and the latter quickly distanced himself.
"Lion's Might - Sea Roll!"
Surrounding the island, the seawater, resembling a giant pudding, transformed into the Roar lion's head and encircled Enel.
"Even those with special abilities are powerless against the sea!"
The Golden Lion's face was filled with smugness. With a flick of his finger, several sea lion heads rushed towards the latter.
At that speed, it would be impossible to hit Enel, who possesses lightning speed, yet he showed no intention of dodging.
"Divine Will - Refine Him!"
He spread his arms, and amidst the lightning and thunder, a tremendous amount of heat erupted from his body.
The giant sea lion head emitted bursts of white steam under the terrifying heat, which was completely evaporated before it even touched Enel's body.
"Isn't this the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? Is this heat energy even plausible?!"
Golden Lion's eyes widened in disbelief; Enel's way of dealing with her attack far exceeded her expectations.
"Abilities are something that depend on how you use them."
"Divine Judgment!"
Enel was very pleased with his reaction and retaliated by firing a lightning bolt.
Armament Haki Hardening!
The Golden Lion, with its Haki, coiled around its arms and held its chest to forcefully block the attack. Its face appeared calm, but its arms were already tingling.
"Great Lion's Might - Earth Strike!"
The ground continued to crack, and larger clods of earth surrounded Enel, obscuring his view.
"Lion - Thousand-Cut Valley!"
Before it could break the lion's head, the Golden Lion swiftly unleashed dozens of slashes, closely following the lion's head.
However, Enel did not attack the clod of earth again as he had expected. Instead, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared into the encirclement.
The next moment, Thunder God's Halberd had already begun its second round of combat with Kogarashi and Sakura.
The collapsing clods of earth, propelled by the slashing attack, hurtled straight toward Cifer and his companion.
"Many!"
The two were enveloped in the shadow of the clods of earth, and Nolan's words contained only a hint of surprise.
"Savage Dragon Break".
He took the Banlong from Nolan and with a casual wave of his hand, the earthen mound that could have covered the sky and the slash hidden behind it vanished into nothingness.
"A great Swordsman? That's quite an impressive pirate crew! Wait a minute..."
As Golden Lion struggled to fend off Enel's attack, he caught a glimpse of Cifer's sword aura out of the corner of his eye, and his face, already covered in sweat, showed even more distress.
But then he discovered something even more terrifying!
Ulquiorra had been there the whole time, but Observation Haki told him that there was only one little girl there!
Is it Observation Kill?!
It seems that the man I've provoked isn't the Roger of the new era; he's probably a terrifying man like Captain Rocks!
"Etc!"
In the back and forth, Golden Lion's aura became extremely chaotic. Enel's attack was too fierce, and he simply couldn't withstand it.
He simply stretched out his hands and initiated a pause request, and the latter stood in the air as he wished.
"Old man, is that all you can do?"
Although the Golden Lion was far inferior to the Cifer, it still allowed Enel to have some fun, but judging from his appearance, he seemed to be struggling more and more.
"Looks like I'm going to die here!"
The Golden Lion was panting heavily, but a look of relief appeared on his face.
His clash with Enel alone had already left him on his guard, a far cry from the Swordsman.
"Ulquiorra, let your pirate crew establish your era on my corpse, Golden Lion Shiki!"
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Golden Lion bent down and forcefully dismantled Sakura Ju and Kogarashi, which were being used as prosthetics.
Holding the blood-soaked hilt of his sword in both hands, the Golden Lion's face was deathly pale, yet his aura grew even stronger.
"If you had seen me at my peak, you wouldn't be so arrogant!"
With his twin swords in hand, Golden Lion no longer held back and launched a fierce attack on Enel.
Because his time is running out.
Another great Swordsman was still eyeing him covetously, while he himself, at his last gasp, was still bleeding profusely from his legs.
He wanted to show these two brats what a true legendary pirate was like at the last moment!
"Let me show you the real thing!"
"Lion - Thousand-Cut Valley!"
Black Armament Haki covered the twin swords, and Golden Lion's aura continued to rise.
His hands flashed with sword light, unleashing a powerful burst of sword energy that was faster than ever before.
"Yay~ Hahaha~ To be an opponent of the God, you have to be like this at the very least!"
"200 Million Volts Thunder Body!"
Lightning coiled around Enel like armor, and a faint aura seemed about to burst forth. He raised Thunder God's Halberd, slashing through the sword light as he stepped forward.
At this point, the contest between the two is no longer a one-sided resistance by the Golden Lion, but a balanced contest with both sides exchanging blows.
"This old man... is amazing!"
Nolan was somewhat surprised at this moment. Apart from Captain Cifer, she had never seen anyone who could fight Enel to a standstill.
"After all, it was once a legend. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. It's just a pity that it encountered a Qilin."
Although it's somewhat surprising that Golden Lion could briefly regain his strength under such circumstances, the outcome of this battle was already decided long ago.
"Next, this is all I have left, kid. Don't die by accident!"
"Great Lion's Might - Lion's Roar!"
With his twin swords clashing, Golden Lion had staked everything on this one strike, unleashing the secret of his Two-Sword Style!
It was clearly just a sword strike, yet it seemed as if a fierce lion was the Roar, creating a powerful sense of oppression that caused the wild beasts on the island to flee in panic, even in the air.
"Yay~ Hahaha~ You're the first man to satisfy the God. Let me show you the God's new moves!"
"200 Million Volts - Heavenly Devourer!"
Enel could see that his opponent was already giving it his all, so he naturally stopped holding back.
Endless lightning converged on Thunder God's Halberd, and at that moment, he seemed like a true God descending to earth.
"How scary!"
On the island below, Shavol looked at the lightning and thunder in the sky above and the Roar of wild beasts outside the village, his face pale.
"Don't be afraid, Shavol. It's Captain Bonney's companion fighting that old man."
Bonney stood with her hands on her hips, looking confidently at the short Shavol, like a big sister.
"Yes, Shavol, don't be afraid!"
Standing nearby were a man and a woman, who were Shavol's parents.
When Lucci captured Indigo, he also freed all the islanders who had been captured by Shiki.
"There's no need to worry anymore, the antidote is quite effective."
Chopper walked out of the house, while Indigo, with a bruised and swollen face, stood to the side, awkwardly laughing and revealing a tooth that was half missing.
"Thank you so much, Tanuki Doctor!"
Shavol's father was overjoyed and bowed to Chopper, thanking him repeatedly.
"Even if you praise me, it won't help, you jerk!"
Chopper couldn't help but wriggle his body again, not even bothering that the other person mistook him for a tanuki.
"The ground... seems to be shaking? No way!"
Robin noticed that the tremor was a bit strange and didn't seem to be caused by the beasts. Could Enel and the others have killed Shiki?
"Time to take off!"
Lucci suddenly picked up Chopper and used Geppo to leap into the air.
Billy quickly hoisted Bonney and Robin onto his back, spread his wings, and flew away from the island.
"Wait... what about Shavol and the others?!"
The island began to fall from the sky, and Chopper and Bonney watched Shavol get further and further away, feeling very anxious.
"It seems... there's nothing to worry about!"
After getting away from the crashed island, an amazing scene unfolded before their eyes.
Along with Shavol, all the islanders waved their arms and flew freely in the sky like seagulls.
