Super Electromagnetic Sword, Floating Mountain Shift
"How dare you—!?"
The Golden Lion, with a long wound on its waist, was enraged.
He wasn't incapable of accepting defeat, nor was he afraid of getting hurt. But being forced into such a sorry state by a few juniors, and then being tricked and injured in battle—that was unforgivable!
"Watch out, the BOSS has entered the second phase."
?
Although he didn't know what that kid playing with paper and the sword was talking about, the enraged Golden Lion was no longer going to "play" anymore. Very well, let him show you the power of a legendary pirate!
"Lion - Thousand-Cut Valley!"
As the Golden Lion unleashed a flurry of kicks, countless massive slashes shot forth from 'Sakura Ten' and 'Kareki'! Some cleaved straight down; some formed crosses; some crossed like crescent moons; densely packed, endless!
A swordsman is one who can Iron Cutting.
The ability to unleash a powerful Flying Slash is a hallmark of a mature swordsman.
Now, what shot out from under the Golden Lion's feet was not just one or two strikes, but dozens or even hundreds in an instant! And unlike ordinary Flying Slash that are only a few meters wide, each of the Golden Lion's kicks was tens of meters long!
He truly deserves the title of the great swordsman he once was.
In an instant, countless flying sword energies rained down, triggering a chain reaction of explosions. The thunderous explosions continued, the earth cracked and shattered, and a series of dazzling sword lights flashed incessantly, illuminating the island as bright as day!
Amidst the rumbling sounds, the entire massive island trembled and groaned, with countless rocks and soil crumbling and falling, as if it were about to fall at any moment under the boundless sword energy of the Golden Lion.
······
"So strong!"
On the other side, Jabura had already dealt with thousands of pirate minions, looked at the dense barrage of slashes with a cold sweat on his face. With his current strength, even with the enhancement of the 'Rumble Ball', he could only unleash a single slash that was a few dozen meters long.
"No, we have to go help the boss!"
Just as Jabura pulled out the Rumble Ball again, a hand reached out from the side and interrupted his action.
The drawback of continuously consuming the Rumble Ball leading to a berserk 'Awakening'... or rather, a trump card, Roman had already told his CP0 subordinates about it, instructing them to use it with caution.
But Roman never expected that someone would be prepared to use this thing to fight for him so quickly.
"Don't be impatient."
Lucci's calm voice stopped Jabura, "You should have more faith in the BOSS, and those sea men who defeated us before are no pushovers either."
That being said, if Roman and his team really run out of steam, the two Rumble Ball in Lucci's palm will immediately come in handy.
Justice is a monument built on blood and corpses!
Enemy and oneself.
"Pooh!"
The roar subsided, and the entire battlefield was ravaged beyond recognition. It was riddled with huge cracks and sword marks! A voice echoed from within the smoke and dust, "Is everyone alright?"
"Good--"
"You won't die!"
"·····"
Although Luffy didn't hear Roman's reply, he wasn't worried. After all, if Roman really wanted to hide, Luffy believed there were very few people in the world who could catch him.
"Huff, huff, huff~~"
After a burst of energy, the Golden Lion, Observation Haki across the dust-filled battlefield below, and his face darkened!
"Wind--"
A gust of wind blew away the smoke and dust on the battlefield, revealing:
Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, covered in blood and wounds but brimming with fighting spirit, and Roman, completely unharmed.
"You guys take a break,"
Several sheets of emerald green paper floated toward the three of them, and at the same time, Roman soared into the sky and charged toward the Golden Lion alone!
"I'll stall him for time."
"Arrogant!"
Facing Roman charging at high speed, the Golden Lion shouted defiantly, but immediately flew backward to dodge. Clearly, he wasn't so reckless as to fight Roman head-on before he could catch his breath.
"Shishi Wei·Gosho Scroll!"
But Golden Lion Shiki was a legendary Great Pirates, and he wouldn't let a junior chase him without fighting back. So he reached out and grabbed to the side, and a blizzard immediately swept in, transforming into gigantic, roaring lions, hundreds of meters tall, which pounced on Roman with the force of a lion swallowing mountains and rivers!
Faced with such a magnificent attack, Roman remained unmoved. Instead, he drew a metal longsword and placed it at his waist, assuming a 'drawing sword' stance, his five fingers closing one by one to grip the scabbard.
Electric Light began to flash on the scabbard! It spun in circles, and Roman lowered his waist, standing as if on water, with ripples spreading out in the air beneath his feet.
Weapons are created using the 'Munch-Munch Fruit', energy is generated by the 'Rumble-Rumble Fruit', a base is built using the 'Door-Door Fruit', and amplification is achieved using the 'More-More Fruit'...
"Court death!"
The enormous blizzard lion, imbued with the Haki of Golden Lion, pounced on Roman as he charged forward, threatening to engulf him—
"Great Eruption!"
"Ultimate Move - Giant Firebird Star!"
"Incendiary Bomb!"
However, the enormous Magma Fist, the soaring firebirds, and the technologically advanced high-explosive bombs—these fiery attacks all met the lion formed by the blizzard, forcefully holding off the Golden Lion's attacks in front of Roman amidst the deafening explosions.
"Nami, Usopp, Franky!"
Luffy looked at his injured companions who were still able to come to his aid and grinned.
The battle in the hall has ended.
Great, now I can give it my all!
No longer needing to worry about the 'Paper Puppet Army' in the hall, as the puppets that had completed their mission turned into sheets of white paper and scattered all over the ground, Roman focused all his attention on the sword he was about to thrust out.
Using the body as a launch pad
Bring this attack! It's a sword strike that combines Haki, Devil Fruit power, and technology!
!?
Danger!!!
Golden Lion's Observation Haki blared like an alarm, warning of the impending terror. But at this critical moment, the blood surging from the intense battle rushed to his brain, only to encounter the rudder protruding from his skull, causing a sharp pain in Golden Lion's head. In that instant—
Sword energy soars thirty thousand miles into the sky, a single sword's light chills nineteen provinces!
A flash of light, and the 'sword light' pierced the sky like a rainbow cutting through the sun! It pierced the entire sky and disappeared at the edge of sight. The air along the sword's trajectory was severely distorted and deformed, turning into a trace that would not disappear for a long time! At the same time, Inazuma could be seen flashing and crackling in the air, emitting a 'buzzing' sound of electricity.
"Momo-20x Super Electromagnetic Sword!"
Roman stood in the void with a sword-drawing stance, and everything in his path would be pierced through!
"Cough cough cough,"
A round wound the size of a bowl ran through his shoulder, and through the charred flesh, one could even see the snow and wind behind the Golden Lion!
"The younger generation is truly formidable..."
Facing Roman, who was still in a sword-drawing stance, the Golden Lion, whose arm had been crippled, gritted his teeth and praised him.
"Excellent swordsmanship!"
No, this is science.
Although Roman wanted to say that, the physical exertion of assembling an 'Railgun' with his bare hands was still too great, so Roman could only keep a straight face and continue to strike a sword-drawing pose, his clothes flapping wildly in the wind.
What a master's demeanor!
"Oh no! Roman's body—"
As the people who know Roman best, the Straw Hat crew all know that Roman isn't the type to 'show off' in battle. That leaves only one possibility:
"Gear Second - Jump Acceleration!"
"Walking in the air!"
In an instant, Luffy sprang up and attacked Golden Lion, drawing his attention. Sanji, in his haste, didn't even activate his Spray Wind Shell, but instead leaped into the air and scooped Roman up in his arms.
?!
"Kid, you dare to bluff me!"
Golden Lion belatedly realized that the moment had been the perfect opportunity to take down Roman! However, his caution unfortunately caused the chance to turn the tide to slip away.
"Lion - Sever Body!"
"Gomu Gomu no Pistol!"
With Luffy temporarily holding off Golden Lion in the air, Nami and the others rushed to Roman's side, who had been put down by Sanji.
"Let me--"
Chopper quickly finished his check-up, then used the 'Hormone Gloves' to stabilize Roman's body before nodding to Nami beside him.
"Pineapple Gravel!"
The blue flames fell into Roman's body, especially his arms, allowing Roman had just unleashed the 'Heaven-Shattering Sword', to finally catch his breath.
"What a pity,"
Roman looked at Golden Lion, who was still able to deal with Luffy even with one arm missing, and sighed.
Observation Haki...
This makes many so-called killer moves less lethal.
"Sanji, I'm fine. Go help Luffy!"
"Good."
Sanji, who leaped into the air, immediately joined the battle, while Roman, though temporarily incapacitated by his own sword strike, still...
Splash splash~~
"Go, Flying Zoro!"
"What kind of weird name is that?"
Despite his complaints, Zoro, now with wings from Roman, finally escaped his miserable predicament of crawling on the ground and immediately joined the battle:
"Three-Sword Style Secret Technique: Six Paths' Tsuji!"
The blade, shaped like the number '40,' fiercely slashed towards the Golden Lion! At the same time, Roman focused his attention on the wings on Zoro's back—the reason he hadn't done this in previous battles was that Roman himself had to control these wings to fly flexibly; otherwise, stiff flight wouldn't be allowing Zoro to join the battle, but simply sending him to his death.
"The Dragon Eye Dotting!"
With the Straw Hat crew's three main fighters joining the battle, they unleashed a barrage of Golden Lion, kicks, and sword strikes at Shiki! The others also used ranged attacks from the ground to keep him occupied, leaving the legendary Great Pirates overwhelmed and utterly exhausted...
"Phew, what perfect teamwork."
Jabura, who had been watching the game nervously from the sidelines, took a breath and seemed to say:
"We can win!"
"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly."
However, Lucci was standing next to him, poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
"He's a legendary Great Pirates, after all. Even if he's old, frail, disabled, and mentally impaired, he shouldn't only be this good."
Just as CP0's two key players started to jinx the game,
On the battlefield, Roman had already stood up and stretched his arms.
"Phew, looks like I still haven't been training enough..."
Constructing Railgun with bare hands is nothing compared to what Misaka Mikoto does effortlessly; it's a nightmare for Roman. While Roman's combined abilities clearly exceed the power limits of Railgun, however:
The physical constitution of the people in this world is incomparable to that of the skinny, slender people in Academy City.
"One more strike, try to win—?"
"Get out of here!!"
A glance at Roman on the ground revealed him nonchalantly standing up, ready to fight again. The increasingly exhausted Golden Lion suddenly unleashed a burst of Conqueror's Haki, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji away from their attack! He then flew backward, creating distance, and then:
"The mountain is coming!"
As the Golden Lion angrily gestured, a slightly smaller island nearby immediately appeared out of thin air, causing Roman's expression to change drastically.
It's clear that the Golden Lion has abandoned even its own foundation and is now fighting tooth and nail.
P. S.: It's almost the end of the month, please give me some monthly votes to reach 1000. I'll do a lucky draw next month~~ (Even though they're only a couple hundred each time, what if I win 10,000?)
