Lion

Dr. Indigo sat cross-legged on the cushion with trepidation.

The cushion is very soft, so even kneeling won't make you feel too uncomfortable.

But at this moment, Indigo felt extremely uneasy.

The Gorilla is the same as him.

There was nothing they could do; sitting opposite them was the Sirius Pirates.

That's the man known as the Emperor's partner.

Especially White Wolf Yamato, a woman standing shoulder to shoulder with the Black Wolf, a monster among monsters.

The leaders of both sides are currently at war, and if a full-scale war were to break out, these guys would be their opponents.

How could anyone possibly win!

Fortunately, these guys didn't seem to intend to make a move; they were just laughing and eating.

Shiki, come back soon, I can't hold on much longer.

Dr. Indigo shed tears.

Aren't you worried at all?

Urouge couldn't help but ask.

This group of people are too calm.

Some were joking and laughing, others were eating, seemingly completely unconcerned about the battle taking place above.

"What are you worried about?"

Yamato wiped his mouth and asked.

"Of course it's Mr. Sirius!" Urouge's voice was a little loud. "His opponent is that Golden Lion!"

What's going on with this woman! Aren't she and Mr. Sirius in a relationship?

Why aren't you worried at all?

"But that Golden Lion is weak, how could Sirius possibly lose?"

Yamato replied, "Don't even mention Sirius, he can't even beat me."

"What?"

Urouge was completely stunned.

At once.

Is it really that inflated?

That's Golden Lion!

"Nailed it."

Sirius landed through the hole above, carrying the Golden Lion in his hand.

"Eh!!"

Dr. Indigo's eyes widened.

What's going on?

It's only been a few minutes!

Has Shiki already lost?

Is the gap in strength really that huge?

The Pirate Emperor is so powerful!

Urouge was also speechless.

Is that all?

"That's it?"

Jack glanced at the Golden Lion, which Sirius had casually tossed back into his seat, and sneered, "Is this all the legendary Golden Lion is capable of? I thought even if he couldn't win, he could at least hold out for a while."

"After all, his opponent is me," Sirius said naturally.

"Of course!"

Yamato chuckled as he watched Sirius return to his seat, and said matter-of-factly, "How could Sirius lose to someone of this caliber?"

Sirius smiled and continued to enjoy his meal.

Yamato's words were a bit hurtful, but that was indeed the truth.

This Golden Lion is not the same Golden Lion that fought against Roger Whitebeard more than twenty years ago.

He was probably unable to use Haki because of the half-ship rudder on his head.

Having not appeared on the high seas for over a decade, never having fought against a powerful enemy, his physical condition could no longer be maintained at its peak.

Even Roger's once ambitious spirit turned into a twisted obsession after his death.

How could such Golden Lion possibly defeat itself?

No wonder he lost to the Straw Hat Kid in the original work.

At best, Shiki the Golden Lion is only at the level of Shichibukai, and not even the top tier.

His strengths lay solely in his swordsmanship and abilities.

Unfortunately, his abilities weren't powerful enough, and his formidable swordsmanship was useless against Sirius and his sword.

So this was the only possible outcome; Sirius even believed he couldn't beat Zephyr from before.

That's a bit of a pity.

Sirius with some emotion.

Roger's Whitebeard was perfectly fine, so why is it that you're such a mess?

"You brat!! What do you mean?!"

At this moment, the Golden Lion, which Sirius had casually tossed onto the cushion, struggled to sit up and spoke.

He hadn't lost consciousness; he was just a little overwhelmed by the two hard punches Sirius had given him.

Ignoring even the blood at the corner of his mouth, the senior was furious. He almost roared, "Are you showing me mercy? I've never heard of a pirate showing mercy in a fight!"

The Golden Lion felt an unprecedented humiliation.

"Don't misunderstand, Senior Golden Lion,"

Sirius chuckled and waved his hand, "It's just because if you lose consciousness, all the islands will fall, and this banquet will have to end early, right? I haven't eaten enough yet."

"Hahaha, Sirius, you bastard."

Yamato couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The other companions also had smiles on their faces.

Sirius was truly a master at manipulating people's minds.

It's hard.

The fist hardened.

The Golden Lion widened in fury, "You brat!!"

Buzz!

Because of his unparalleled rage, an invisible aura emanated from him.

In just a moment, the Golden Lion was already clutching his head and clenching his teeth.

"I see,"

Luo understood and said with pity, "Because of the injuries, you can't use Haki."

"That's why he's become so weak." Jack shook his head with some regret. After all, this man was a legendary figure.

Hearing their words, the Golden Lion clenched his fists in resentment.

The Battle of Ait Wol gave him half a ship's wheel on his head.

It's too deep to be removed.

Then came the Marineford, where those two bastards, Garp and Sengoku, further aggravated his already irreparable injuries.

From that time onward, his Haki began to slowly fade, and in recent years it has become virtually unusable.

After resentment comes dejection.

Such a crushing defeat left the Golden Lion somewhat disheartened.

All the hard work I put in over a decade seems utterly pointless now.

If you can't even beat this kid, how can you talk about surpassing Roger and conquering the world?

"Kill me, you brat!"

Golden Lion said indifferently, "Everything I have is yours now. Over a decade of research will surely be of some use. Let's take it with us and conquer this Great Pirate Era."

The winner lives, the loser dies.

These are the rules of the One Piece world.

Golden Lion felt ashamed for surviving because the enemy had shown him mercy.

"Conquer?" Sirius chuckled. "No interest. Our feud ends here. Of course, if you, Senior Golden Lion, still wish for revenge, I welcome you anytime."

Sirius had no intention of killing the Golden Lion, after all, the other party's initial attitude was quite good.

Instead, they started the trouble first.

The Golden Lion paused for a moment.

Is this kid really a pirate? He's so naive.

"That's right, we don't care about the world at all."

Yamato and said, "All we need is to sail freely, see all the beautiful scenery in the world, and leave our footprints on all the islands. That's enough."

"..."

The Golden Lion was completely stunned.

He had heard a guy say something similar before.

Those two little devils--

"The high seas will never lack naive fellows like you."

The Golden Lion suddenly laughed.

The anger subsided suddenly, replaced by a long-lost feeling.

"Black Wolf, you'll regret this in the future!"

It 'Golden Lion said earnestly.

"I will never regret it."

Sirius laughed and said, "I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing Golden Lion- senpai transform back into the Golden Lion- senpai who stood shoulder to shoulder with Roger Whitebeard."

"Since we're aiming to reach the Final Island like Roger, wouldn't it be great to defeat an opponent just like him?"

"Hehehehe!!"

The Golden Lion laughed heartily, "An interesting fellow! A truly interesting fellow!"

Is this guy crazy?

Ulti couldn't help but whisper.

Just a moment ago he looked like he was about to die from being beaten up, but now he's laughing happily again.

"Perhaps they've found a new target," Maria said with a smile.

As expected of Sirius.

"Black Wolf!"

The senior suddenly stopped laughing. He looked at Sirius, "It's really good to have met a kid like you."

Sirius smiled.

Although I don't know what the original Golden Lion looked like, this one is clearly different from the previous one.

"You have a Devil Fruit User under your command, right?"

Golden Lion then said, "How about I get him to do me a favor?"
