World-Destroying! Farewell, Golden Lion! A Duel Between Swordmasters of the Old and New Eras!

It's clearly visible even from the Foosha Village dozens of kilometers away!

A huge, exaggerated island is falling from the sky!

Its diameter is definitely over ten kilometers!

Although Ian already knew about what the Golden Lion had been doing recently, he was still shocked when Ian actually witnessed it with his own eyes.

That's an exaggeration.

This is the true power capable of destroying the world!

Golden Lion, why don't you just die?

"Damn it! Shiki!!"

Vice Admiral Garp's eyes widened in fury.

The island took an estimated total of only a few dozen seconds from the start of its fall to its final landing.

However, they are dozens of kilometers away from the other side!

It's too late!

There was no way to stop the island from falling!

When that island crashes to the ground, the entire Kingdom of Goa will be instantly destroyed!

Right before his eyes, was this country—which he loathed, yet which was also where he had grown up—about to be destroyed?

"The thing to consider now is,"

Ian said, "How do we protect this place?"

It is foreseeable that the entire island will be smashed to pieces within tens of seconds.

Unprecedented raging waves will engulf everything in the surrounding sea.

How can we protect the people in the village? How can we protect our companions?

That's what we should be considering next.

On the sea outside the capital.

Among the ships anchored there, the nobles gradually noticed the fallen island.

There was no way to ignore it; the raging winds from the fall were like thunder, shaking the entire sky.

"The Golden Lion! The Golden Lion is here!"

The screams instantly echoed across the sea.

"Run! Run!"

The nobles quickly maneuvered their ships to leave.

But how could there be enough time?

In those few dozen seconds, there wasn't even time to pull up the anchor, let alone lower the sail and set sail.

However, among so many ships, on one of them...

"Bear! I'm going to stop it from falling! You protect the others, and then you can try to rescue the people!"

Dragon vanished from the deck like a whirlwind.

"Leave it to me, Mr. Dragon."

On the deck, Xiong slowly removed his gloves, gazing up at the enormous creature falling from the sky, his face extremely solemn.

Boom!!

The sky was in awe.

The enormous island crashed down with a devastating force, crushing everything in its path.

Its immeasurable, terrifying mass, pulled by gravity, endows it with an absurdly powerful energy.

If it can fall smoothly, then the next moment will be earth-shattering!

The Golden Lion in the sky looked down with great interest.

Just like the previous times, he wanted to witness the spectacular fireworks display with his own eyes.

But, in the next instant...

Call!!

A sudden gust of wind arose.

A green Mystical Space Typhoon instantly formed beneath the falling island, and in the next moment it expanded to an astonishing size!

The Mystical Space Typhoon crashed into the bottom of the island, instantly cutting countless huge cracks into the underside of this behemoth.

Furthermore, it significantly slowed down the island's descent.

"What?"

The Golden Lion was suddenly taken aback.

This certainly cannot be a natural phenomenon!

Someone's causing trouble!

"Hahaha! Interesting!"

Below the island, amidst the Mystical Space Typhoon, Dragon condenses his body from the wind.

Mystical Space Typhoon coiled around his arms, his hands were pitch black, and Inazuma formed from his Two-Color Haki danced on his arms as he pressed his fists against the bottom of the island.

Everything has its weaknesses.

Once this weakness is found, the greatest damage can be caused with the least effort.

"Dragon's Breath!"

Dragon roared.

Haki and wind surged forth.

Click!!

Large cracks immediately spread across the island's surface.

A terrifying force shattered the island from within.

But that's not enough!

It is still not completely broken.

Dragon gritted his teeth, his right hand formed a claw, and his arm transformed into Mystical Space Typhoon, his palm spinning like an electric drill.

"Dragon Claw Fist - Storm Dragon King!!"

The drill-like right arm blasted into the depths of the island in an instant.

As Dragon ascended, the raging winds and overwhelming Haki shattered everything around him.

He swam unstoppably, traversing the entire island from bottom to top.

Then finally, the island began to crumble.

It shattered into pieces, falling like a meteor shower.

Dragon breathed a sigh of relief.

But that's not enough.

Suddenly, a fierce wind arose in the sky.

Smaller pieces of island debris were blown away directly, while larger pieces were slowed down.

Then, enormous wind blades formed in the air, slashing down on the numerous large fragments like a sudden rainstorm.

The large number of massive fragments were shattered, greatly reducing the damage they would cause upon impact.

But that's all Dragon can do, because there's no time left.

Countless fragments of islands, large and small, rained down on the city like a meteor shower.

In the blink of an eye, the city was almost completely destroyed.

Fragments measuring tens of meters in size are considered small; fragments measuring hundreds of meters are not uncommon; and even colossal objects exceeding one kilometer in size exist.

Even though the winds of Dragon had slowed their descent to the maximum extent possible, the capital city of the Kingdom of Goa was still smashed to pieces with virtually no resistance.

The surrounding mountains were also severely damaged, with peaks collapsing and mountain ranges fracturing.

The entire island was trembling violently.

The debris that crashed into the sea created massive waves, surging towards the ships on the surface with an all-consuming force.

However, some ships didn't even have to wait to be swallowed by the giant waves; some of the flying debris smashed them into dust.

"Bear Shock!"

The bear launched a tiny bubble, which burst in the next instant into a massive Shockwave that destroyed the giant wave that was heading towards their ship.

But there was no joy on his face.

The giant waves destroyed everything at sea.

Wow!

Suddenly, the bear heard a sound.

He quickly looked towards the sea.

Amidst the raging waves, a small figure clung to a piece of wood, drifting on the sea.

We must save him!

Xiong thought.

In the sky, Dragon looked down at everything below, his body trembling uncontrollably.

He did indeed save the island.

But it couldn't save the country.

"Hahahaha!"

Laughter echoed from the sky. "I've heard of you, Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, right?"

Dragon suddenly looked up.

Watching the man gradually descend.

"Shiki! You deserve to die!"

Foosha Village.

Those skilled in Observation Haki sensed what was happening in the sky above.

"Pretty!"

Red-Haired couldn't help but praise it.

Is it the Dragon?

Vice Admiral Garp certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to not recognize his own son's presence.

A sense of relief involuntarily arose in my heart.

That bastard ultimately did not fall into depravity.

"But that's not enough."

Ian said in a deep voice.

Boom!

The earth has begun to tremble.

After the initial fragments of the island fell to the ground, the entire island began to tremble, and now, shockwaves are emanating from the center of the island.

The distant mountains are crumbling, the forests are collapsing, and an apocalyptic scene is just around the corner.

"Ha!"

With a roar, the Hero Garp stomped his right foot on the ground.

A patch of darkness instantly appeared on the ground, then spread out like a tide, covering the entire Foosha Village and even the surrounding farmland in the blink of an eye, turning everything here—rocks, fields, hills, windmills, trees, and houses—into complete darkness.

"Tsk!"

Ian couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Such exaggerated Armament Haki!

It's something I can only dream of.

This is the Haki of a naval hero!

Boom!

Everything around them was shaking. Even though they were prepared, the people of Foosha Village were still shaken and staggered. Fortunately, thanks to Garp's Hardening, nothing in Foosha Village collapsed, so they didn't have to worry about being injured.

Even so, a sense of sorrow welled up in the hearts of the residents of Foosha Village.

The reason is simple: everything outside the area covered by Vice Admiral Garp's Haki is crumbling.

A sudden gust of wind swept in, whipping up clouds of dust that engulfed everything in its path.

"Kamunagi!"

Red-Haired leaped into the air, and the Gryphon at his waist was instantly drawn, its black and red Inazuma flashing out of its sheath.

The longsword slashed downwards, and the mighty strike instantly tore through the sky, splitting the raging wind in two to make way for Foosha Village.

A few dozen seconds later, the tremors and storm finally subsided. Hero Garp looked at the still-terrified crowd around him, then turned to Dadan, "Dadan! Luffy and Ace are in your hands for now!"

"Huh?"

Dadan, who had been lying on the ground trembling, looked up in surprise.

"Kuzan! Follow me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the naval hero vanished in a blur.

For top-level athletes, even if it's not an explosive sprint but a long-distance trek, running hundreds of meters per second is just routine. A mere few dozen kilometers is just a matter of minutes.

"Wait for me, Mr. Garp! I can't run that fast!"

Aokiji then followed.

Hawk Eyes remained silent and also sprinted at full speed.

That was his ultimate goal in coming to the East Blue!

"Yamato,"

Ian calmly said, "Take everyone back to the Golden Flying Dragon."

"Hey!"

Yamato was taken aback, then puffed out his cheeks, "Ian, you're going to the Golden Lion, right? I want to go too!"

"That's right, Ian! Let's go together!"

Hancock quickly added, "The Golden Lion isn't the same Golden Lion we encountered before!"

That old lion, now past its prime, has broken free of its shackles and has been lying low for so long before making its move; it must have recovered to a considerable extent.

"It doesn't matter,"

Ian said, "Senior Golden Lion can no longer cause any trouble."

You're kidding, don't you even look at how overwhelming the fighting force gathered on the island is right now?

Even without considering them, the five of them together— Red-Haired Hawk Eyes Garp, Aokiji, and Dragon— are more than enough to easily sweep away any emperor in the New World, and it's not impossible for them to suppress two emperors at the same time.

Senior Golden Lion is doomed.

It means, what kind of death is coming next.

"Now we should be thinking about how to leave."

Ian said, "Law is coming with me; the rest of you go back to the ship and wait for orders."

"Huh? Me?"

Luo looked completely bewildered.

No, you're not bringing monsters like Yamato and Hancock, but me, a little Lami? Are you sending me to be cannon fodder?

"I want to go too!"

Suddenly, Ace ran over from the side.

"Hey! Ace!"

Dadan's expression changed, and she rushed over, exclaiming, "That's the Golden Lion!!"

Ace ignored Dadan and just looked at Ian, "I want to go too!"

Ian understands.

Speaking of Shiki the Golden Lion, he was once a great pirate who was on par with Roger.

Although they ultimately failed, they did manage to push Roger to the brink of despair!

"All right,"

Ian nodded slightly and said to Dadan, "Don't worry, I will protect him. I won't allow anyone to hurt my companion."

Dadan was speechless, unsure of what to say.

"That's the decision!"

Ian transformed into Golden Heavenly God, spread his wings, and grabbed Law with one hand and Ace with the other.

"Ian!!"

Yamato was all puffed up with anger.

That wretched Ian! He'd rather take those two brats than me.

"Forgive me, Yamato, this is the last time."

Ian gave a perfunctory reply, and the next moment he had already transformed into a shooting star and shot straight into the sky.

"Waaaaah!"

Yamato Yamato's hair stood on end from the surge of her powerful Haki.

"Baker, thank you for your help on our end as well."

On the other side, Red-Haired had also made his decision; he would go alone.

Ben Beckman nodded slightly; they also needed to prepare for their evacuation.

Uta wanted to whine and ask to come along like Yamato, but Beckman easily suppressed her with one hand. In many cases, the first mate was the one who really took charge of things on the ship.

So, the Red-Haired set off as well.

Ian, with the two brats in tow, soared through the sky. In pursuit of ultimate speed, he directly adopted his orc form, with flames erupting behind him, pushing his speed to its limit.

As the sky swept over the island, all that could be seen was a scene of utter devastation.

The entire Dong Island has been torn apart, with large areas collapsing and then forming a lake due to the influx of seawater.

Worse still, likely due to the destruction of the island's foundation, many areas are still sinking.

The worst city in the distance, clearly visible in the moonlight, was not merely razed to the ground; it had been transformed into numerous craters of varying sizes! Not a trace of civilization remained.

Although it wasn't directly pulverized, the island is already finished.

"Tsk, that old man is really exaggerating!"

Luo couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. This was after someone had already weakened it; even Ian couldn't match such destructive power.

A sense of panic welled up in Ace's heart at that moment.

Sabo!

Is Sabo alright?

He comforted himself.

Sabo will definitely be alright! He's already escaped to sea with his family! He'll be fine!

Ian was the first to arrive in this sky.

The first thing I saw upon arrival was Dragon fighting the Golden Lion.

"Cut Wave!!"

A magnificent slash, trailing jet-black Inazuma, ripped through the sky.

"Dragon Claw!"

Dragon's expression was cold and hard. He crushed the Golden Lion's slash with a single claw, and with a backhand, he unleashed several huge wind blades, forcing the Golden Lion to repeatedly swing its sword to block.

"That kid!"

The Golden Lion's expression was somewhat solemn.

This guy's strength is truly not to be underestimated!

They're just as good as Kaido!

"Um?"

The Golden Lion suddenly noticed something and turned to look at the distant sky.

A golden meteor streaked across the sky.

"Senior Golden Lion, you've caused quite a commotion! You almost killed me with that bang!"

The newcomer spread his golden wings, floated in the sky, and began to speak with great interest.

Dragon frowned slightly; the troublemaker had arrived.

Whose side is Ian on?

However, what made him frown even more was that he sensed several approaching auras.

One of them is one I'm very familiar with.

"Hehehehe!"

Senior Golden Lion laughed heartily, "Kid, you're here to cause me trouble too?"

That's the Golden Lion?

Ace stared blankly at the Golden Lion floating in the sky ahead, the man who had once fought against that bastard.

Ian gave Golden Lion a deep look. "Golden Lion, stop. What kind of skill is it to bully civilians? If you're so bored, go smash up Marineford or Mary Geoise."

"Of course I'll go to those two places!"

Senior Golden Lion scoffed at this, laughing loudly, "But that's only after I destroy the East Blue! Only by destroying the East Blue can I prove that I've surpassed Roger!"

"Madman!"

Dragon uttered a single word, his face grim.

For such a ridiculous reason!

Ace stared in disbelief, his eyes wide with disbelief, almost as if they were about to tear apart, his teeth chattering loudly.

It's because of that guy again!

It's all because of that guy!

"I see."

Ian sighed.

"Golden Lion Senior, even I can't save you now."

"Shiki! You deserve to die!"

With a roar, a figure soared into the sky, "Fist Collision!!"

A massive, Haki Shockwave instantly swept across the sky, hurtling towards the Golden Lion with the force of crushing everything in its path.

"Hahaha! What a lively scene! Even the old mad dog has arrived!"

The Golden Lion laughed heartily, flicking his right foot, "Lion's Might - Annihilation Slash!"

A genuine Conqueror's Haki's Haki swirled around the sword, and the Haki wave collided with the Haki Shockwave, instantly exploding into a massive firework in the sky, illuminating the night sky.

Vice Admiral Garp, hovering in the air, had no time to pay attention to the large child floating to the side. He roared angrily, "Look what you've done!"

"Hahaha! Isn't it beautiful?"

The Golden Lion spread its arms wide and laughed loudly, "This is the beauty of violence!"

"The most beautiful thing is your brain!!"

Vice Admiral Garp clenched his fists, and his Black Haki spread out like a spider web.

Just then.

Laugh!!

A turquoise slash suddenly shot into the sky, heading straight for the Golden Lion.

"Um?"

Senior Golden Lion raised an eyelid, shattered the slash with a back kick, and his expression changed slightly, "There's something to it."

"Golden Lion Shiki!"

Below, Hawk Eyes launched himself into the air, dragging a jet-black sword in his hand. "One of the strongest swordsmen of the last era! Let me examine your sword!"

"Hawk Eyes kid?"

Golden Lion sneered, "You're so arrogant! You have no idea what real pirates are like!"

"That kind of thing doesn't matter!"

Hawk Eyes laughed. "Red-Haired, Ian! Consider it a favor I owe you."

"I see."

Ian shook his head helplessly. "Vice Admiral Garp, Mr. Dragon, you heard it too. This guy wants to volunteer to be cannon fodder to wear down Senior Golden Lion's stamina. Why don't we just go along with him? It doesn't matter if he gets killed anyway."

"I also think it's a good idea."

Red-Haired also came, sword in hand.

"Um?"

Golden Lion saw him. "The kid from Roger's ship back then? He's grown into a respectable young man now."

The Red-Haired smiled faintly, "Since you want to surpass Captain Roger, then let me fight you in his place."

Ace suddenly looked at the Red-Haired.

That bastard on the ship?

Garp and Dragon both frowned, looking quite like father and son at that moment.

"Not bad at all, Mr. Garp,"

Aokiji, arriving a step too late, scratched his head. "The Shichibukai do indeed have the obligation to fight pirates."

Vice Admiral Garp remained silent.

"Thank you all very much!"

Hawk Eyes leaped into the air, hurtling straight towards Golden Lion! "Come on, Golden Lion! Which is stronger, the new era or the old era? Let's find out today!"

"Hehehehe!!"

The Golden Lion laughed heartily and did not resist.

Just kidding, he'd better take these guys one at a time, otherwise he'll be wiped out instantly if they all swarm him.

Thus, the battle between two top swordsmen of the new and old eras began!
