Elephant Transfer Technique
Time Reversal to one day earlier.
Having just returned to the Ark Maxim, Roy was reluctant to use his dream- Virtualization ability to heal his injuries. Instead, he drank a bottle of S-2 Potion and, after a short rest, activated his ability again.
The Elephant Transfer Technique!
On the Sky Island.
With long hair like a lion's mane reaching the ground, a ship's rudder positioned perfectly in the center of his head, and two famous swords gleaming coldly beneath him, he was none other than Golden Lion Shiki, renowned for his terrifying ability to silence even the most timid children.
Below him were a large number of ferocious beasts, locked in fierce combat with the God's Guard and the Pirate Squad left behind by Roy on the Sky Island.
The Golden Lion had absolutely no interest in these battles. After all, to him, these battles were too low-level and ridiculously childish. His gaze swept over the entire Sky Island, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"An island floating ten thousand meters in the sky—this should rightfully belong to my kingdom!" The Golden Lion coveted more than just an island floating in the air. "The formidable armed forces on this Sky Island, combined with my beast army, will surely make the sea feel my pain!"
It's no wonder that the Golden Lion was so thirsty; in order to conceal his whereabouts and secretly plot revenge, he had been controlling the island to fly high in the sky for many years, so he naturally couldn't gather any decent subordinates.
The Flying Pirate Crew, who once struck fear into the hearts of the entire seas, have now been reduced to relying on a group of rare beasts to maintain their prestige. Apart from themselves, they have almost no other combat power to boast of.
The rabble he led was no match for the elite forces on the Sky Island. They were at a disadvantage from the start and lost most of their men in no time. It was a massacre.
However, the Golden Lion remained unmoved. He never regarded these beasts as his subordinates, but merely as cannon fodder that could be used at any time.
On the contrary, the opponent's performance impressed him. Their fierce aura and tacit cooperation proved that this force had been baptized by blood and gunfire, and had grown into a powerful armed force in battle and slaughter. Only such elite forces could be worthy of the reputation of his Flying Pirate Crew.
Perhaps it was the performance of those ferocious beasts that made him lose face, or perhaps he wanted to show off his invincible power in front of his opponent, the Golden Lion, who had been floating above the battlefield like a silent ghost, finally made his move.
With just one sword strike, the entire battlefield was split in two, and even the sky was torn apart.
Both sides, witnessing this horrific scene, were completely bewildered and had no choice but to halt their battle in a state of confusion.
"Damn it, where did such a powerful enemy come from? With such immense power, even Lord Crocodile the Sand and Enel might not be his match!" Seeing the lion-like man casually swing the longsword that served as a prosthetic arm and easily cleave the sky, Mantis's voice trembled, his horror overflowing.
"Oh no! Chief of Staff Robin has sent word that we must retreat immediately, saying that the enemy is one we absolutely cannot withstand!" Laki shouted, putting away her Den Den Den Mushi.
"What a joke! Before the captain left, he entrusted us with the protection of the God's Nation. How could I lose this supreme honor in my hands? You go first. Even if it costs me my last drop of blood, I will stop the enemy's advance, even if it's just for a moment!" Wyper was already prepared to die. Having learned to use Observation Haki, they could naturally sense the terrifying power contained within that lion-like man.
Even the Golden Lion was moved when he saw this warrior with a tattoo on his left eye charging towards him with a death wish.
Golden Lion is undoubtedly a true pirate, brutal, ruthless, callous, and indifferent to human life.
However, he also has the common flaw of this type of pirate, which is that he likes to play the game of mutual respect. Otherwise, he would not have single-handedly challenged the Marine Headquarters because he could not accept the fact that Roger, the man who defeated him, had been captured by the Marines. Even though he was thrown into Impel Down and had to pay the price of his legs to escape, he never regretted his decision.
Therefore, when he saw Wyper charging towards him with a death wish, he was actually quite impressed. "Kid, I acknowledge your courage. Join my Flying Pirate Crew and carry my name to make this world feel pain!"
Upon seeing the Golden Lion's offer of recruitment, Wyper was taken aback at first, but then said firmly, "Forget about it. From the moment the Light of Shandora was lit, I swore in the name of my ancestors that I would follow the captain to the ends of the earth!"
Seeing Wyper's loyalty, Golden Lion felt even more pleased with the brat and laughed arrogantly, "Hahaha, since that's the case, then you and your captain can join my ranks as well. After all, I am the Flying Pirate Golden Lion!"
Wyper looked at the Golden Lion with a strange expression. He knew that this guy who called himself the Golden Lion was indeed terrifyingly strong. Perhaps even Crocodile the Sand and Enel were no match for him. But he absolutely did not believe that this guy who didn't even have legs could defeat that god-like man.
"Kid, what kind of look is that? Don't you believe what I'm saying?" Ever since the Golden Lion had the ship's rudder inserted into his brain, he had been unpredictable, and even his second-in -Indigo, dared not approach him casually. "I'll show you the most powerful force on this great sea!"
Wyper hadn't expected the Golden Lion to attack so suddenly, and he was especially terrified when he saw the Golden Lion raise his right leg. He had personally witnessed the Golden Lion easily cleave the earth with the sword beneath his feet.
So without hesitation, he used the Impact Dial on both hands, and a violent shockwave burst forth.
"Did it work?" Wyper collapsed to his knees on the Cloud Layer, blood gushing from his pores. Even after two years of secluded training, using two Impact Dial simultaneously was still beyond his physical limits.
"Wave Slash!"
A wild voice ruthlessly shattered Wyper's illusions, and a massive golden sword Sword Qi pierced through the Cloud Layer, instantly appearing in front of Wyper.
"Am I going to die? It's a pity that I couldn't help the captain hold off the enemy in the end!" Wyper thought to himself as he lay dying, completely giving up the struggle. After all, even if he were in his prime, he couldn't avoid such a terrifying slash, let alone his half-crippled body after using two Impact Dial.
"Wyper, don't resist anymore, lend me your body first." Just when Wyper felt desperate, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.
"That's... the captain's voice!" Although he didn't know what Roy meant, Wyper didn't resist.
Rumble!
The powerful slash nearly destroyed everything in front of the Golden Lion.
"Damn it, I forgot to hold back." The Golden Lion, now fully awake, looked at the dissipating Cloud Layer and said rather dejectedly.
"Forget it, if he dies, it's just bad luck." Although he thought highly of Wyper, Golden Lion was the kind of man who would never regret his decisions, so he naturally felt no guilt and turned to fly towards the Sky Island.
"Golden Lion Shiki, where do you think you're going?" A detached voice sounded from behind him.
