Three Heroes vs. the Old Man in a Battle Royale!

The fierce battle began at that moment.

Perhaps the World's Strongest swordsmen clashed at that moment.

Yoru, reforged by Shimotsuki Kozaburo, is already the finest among the Great Grade Sword, while the Golden Lion's Sakura-ju and Withered Tree are renowned Famous Sword on the high seas.

When the three blades clashed, jet-black Inazuma shot into the sky, instantly filling the vast night sky.

"What is that?!"

A terrifying gust of wind rushed towards him, and Ace's eyes widened instantly!

Because he saw that the dark clouds in the sky had parted!

"That's Haki!"

Luo's voice sounded faint in the raging wind.

A giant Fire Spirit floated in the sky, with Ian standing on its shoulder and the two imps clinging to its fingers in its Fire Spirit to keep themselves from being blown away.

"The clash of Conqueror's Haki can even split the sky!"

Luo said loudly.

"Conqueror's Haki-- "

Ace stared blankly.

"Oh."

Ian sighed softly.

A sky-shattering opening move—that's the right way to play!

"Lion's Might - Thousand-Cut Valley!"

The Golden Lion's feet transformed into Inazuma, and in an instant, he had already unleashed hundreds of sword strikes.

The flying slash transformed into a storm, sweeping over Hawk Eyes and giving him absolutely no room to dodge.

"If this is all there is to it, then it's incredibly disappointing!"

Hawk Eyes merely sneered at the overwhelming attack, his Haki Inazuma forth from the black blade in his hand.

"Drink!"

He simply roared and slashed horizontally with his black blade.

A dazzling emerald green slash swept across the sky in an instant, shattering all of the Golden Lion's slashing storms.

"Wow! What a magnificent strike!"

Below, even Vice Admiral Aokiji couldn't help but sigh.

Is this the world's greatest swordsman's strike? Truly extraordinary!

However, Ian, who also witnessed this scene, shook his head repeatedly.

I've wanted to say this before, Mihawk, you can't go on like this.

Don't you know that in the world of our Shonen Manga, the names of techniques are also a very important source of power?

Do you even understand the concept of "fashion value"?

If this were in the world of Bleach, your attacks, which are all unnamed and seem like basic attacks, wouldn't last more than three episodes before you were killed.

Even without a name, Hawk Eyes's attack was truly extraordinary. It not only swept away Golden Lion's slash but also nearly cleaved Golden Lion in two in an instant.

Of course, Golden Lion is by no means a good-for-nothing. After Law took the ship's wheel off his head, his Haki was no longer restricted. And now, after several months of recuperation, his strength, if not back to its peak, has at least recovered to about 70-80%.

His strength was no joke; he wielded two swords on his legs, creating a moon-shaped pattern that cleaved the emerald crescent moon in two.

"Hahaha! How arrogant!"

"You'll soon find out whether you're just boasting or not!"

Hawk Eyes had already leaped into the air, his sword slashing diagonally.

The lion roared, its twin swords flashing wildly, as it clashed fiercely with Hawk Eyes.

The ferocious Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki transformed into jet-black Inazuma, continuously radiating across the sky.

This was the first time Ace had ever witnessed a battle of this caliber. His eyes widened in disbelief, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

"Ace!"

At that moment, Vice Admiral Garp noticed his presence and charged over, seemingly leaping through thin air, furious. "What are you doing here! Shouldn't you be with Luffy and Dadan?"

At this moment, in Foosha Village.

The dock, the Red-Haired Pirates' flagship, the Red Fox.

"Uta! Wait for me!"

The two children ran around happily.

One of the pirates watched this scene with a headache, "If Vice Admiral Garp sees this, he'll definitely kill us."

"Hahaha! Let's talk about that later."

The high-ranking official Yasopp, laughed heartily. He gazed at the distant sky, his eyes seemingly able to see clearly the scene above.

"Now, the real show is about to begin!"

The sky over here.

Faced with Vice Admiral Garp's questioning, Ace didn't even turn his head, "Who cares about you! I don't want to listen to you!"

The main theme is rebellion.

The legendary Vice Admiral of the navy was so enraged by his disobedient grandson that he felt like his lungs were about to explode. He glared fiercely at Ian, who stood calmly on Surtur's shoulder, and shouted, "You brat! Look what you've done to my beloved grandson!"

Ian rolled his eyes. "Mr. Garp, Ace asked me to bring him here himself."

Garp immediately looked at Ace.

Ace didn't turn around; he just clenched his fists. "This is... Golden Lion! The man who fought that guy!"

Hero Garp was momentarily speechless.

Is it because of Roger?

He knew that Ace had always hated Roger.

Sometimes he regretted telling Ace about his past when Ace was still very young.

He just felt that everyone comes into this world free, and Ace should know everything he is supposed to know.

What a tragedy!

The naval Vice Admiral remained silent.

Ian almost laughed.

Vice Admiral Garp is always portrayed as carefree in the manga, is actually surprisingly thoughtful and meticulous. He is by no means a typical scatterbrained old man, which is somewhat similar to Teacher Kai.

This veteran was also very conflicted. On one hand, he loathed the Celestial Dragons and refused to be promoted to Admiral because of it, but on the other hand, he spent his whole life as a Marine, sailing the seas.

At the same time, he kept saying he hoped his grandsons would become naval officers, but all he did was occasionally come back to train the two brothers. He never brought them to headquarters, nor did he instill any sense of justice about the navy. He thoroughly implemented a laissez-faire approach.

When his grandsons became famous pirates across the seas, he could still laugh heartily and tell his old friend, "They truly are his grandsons."

He's a man who's hard to describe.

"Ace!"

Vice Admiral Garp finally spoke again, "Come to me! It's dangerous here, I'll protect you!"

Ace's attitude softened somewhat. He knew perfectly well that this old man was one of the people in the world who cared about him the most, but his tone still held a hint of disdain. "Right now, you should worry about Golden Lion!"

Vice Admiral Garp was speechless once again.

Indeed, although Golden Lion is currently fighting Hawk Eyes, what if he suddenly decides to quit and run away instead?

Golden Lion can fly; it's impossible for him to catch up with Geppo alone.

He has to keep an eye on the Golden Lion.

"Don't worry, Vice Admiral Garp,"

Ian chuckled and said, "I will protect Ace."

"You brat! How dare you speak up!"

Vice Admiral Garp's eyes widened in fury.

It's all that bastard's fault! Ace was so obedient before! Vice Admiral Garp completely forgot that Ace was also a rebellious brat in the past.

Ian shrugged. "Don't worry about it, Vice Admiral Garp. You wouldn't want to start a war with me right now, would you? If you did, Golden Lion might really run away."

The naval hero gritted his teeth.

In the sky not far away, Dragon looked at the situation with a somewhat bewildered expression.

The Pops claimed to be that child's grandfather?

How come he didn't know he had another son? And he looks older than Luffy.

Could it be that my upright Pops, who lived an honest life, actually had an illegitimate child with my mother who died young?

"Oh dear, isn't this the time for a family drama?"

Below, standing on a huge fragment of an island that had crashed earlier, Aokiji scratched his head helplessly, "Couldn't you at least have paid some attention to Golden Lion?"

In the sky, the battle between Golden Lion and Hawk Eyes had indeed reached a fever pitch.

Both swords were wreathed in thick, Haki Inazuma, and each clash of their blades shocked the heavens.

"They're evenly matched."

Red-Haired stood on a large rock below, rubbing his chin. "That's the Golden Lion who almost cornered Captain Roger. Has Mihawk gotten even stronger?"

He certainly hadn't forgotten for a moment the Battle of Ait Wall.

In that battle, the Roger Pirates were indeed in dire straits. If a sudden storm hadn't sunk the Golden Lion Pirates 'Roger Pirates fleet, their voyage might have ended there.

Golden Lion knew better than anyone how powerful Red-Haired; he was a force comparable to Captain Roger.

But now, that mighty Golden Lion is evenly matched with Mihawk.

Is it possible that Hawk Eyes secretly got stronger without his brothers' knowledge?

No.

"The Golden Lion has become weaker."

The Red-Haired sighed.

This lion is much weaker than he was at his peak.

Is that all?

In the sky, Hawk Eyes was attacking Golden Lion while stepping on thin air, also smiled, "If that's all there is to it, Golden Lion, you're doomed today."

Even if he wasn't the weakest among those surrounding the Golden Lion, he certainly couldn't be the strongest.

Senior Golden Lion's eyes darkened.

His legs, which were swinging the sword, suddenly stopped. "Then let me show you, kid, my true full power!"

"Oh?"

Ian was somewhat surprised.

Does Senior Golden Lion have some hidden tricks up his sleeve?

Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, the two swords Golden Lion were originally embedded in his legs floated down and landed in his hands.

"Hey!"

Luo Dawei was taken aback. "Is it really constructed like this?"

Ian was quite surprised as well. "Golden Lion, you're really something!"

Has he transformed from Camille to Yone?

"Oh!"

Hawk Eyes lit up too, "Interesting!"

"What's even more interesting is this."

Golden Lion transformed into the wind, and in an instant, he was already close to Hawk Eyes, unleashing a dazzling double sword strike!

The twin swords stirred up a gust of wind, a steel-like gale!

When!

Amidst the burst of black Inazuma, Hawk Eyes plummeted from the sky in an instant.

"Oh?"

Ian was surprised, "This is a swordsman?"

The legs are definitely stronger than the arms!

However, the moment the Golden Lion gripped his sword, he instantly defeated Hawk Eyes, who had been able to hold his own against him just moments before.

What he relied on was definitely not strength.

It's swordsmanship, not swordsmanship.

Swordsmanship capable of touching the breath of all things.

"Hahahaha! Lion's Might - Thousand-Cut Valley!!"

A storm of slashing winds and torrential rain fell.

Vice Admiral Garp's expression was grave.

The lion of yesteryear is gradually awakening!

Amidst the slashing storm, a green wave of sword energy suddenly pierced through everything, and Hawk Eyes, who had transformed into a spear, roared upwards, colliding with the Golden Lion once again in the next moment.

"Kid! You've had enough fun! Now let me tell you!"

At this moment, the Golden Lion suddenly gave a strange laugh, "I am the true king of the sky!!"

Hawk Eyes's expression suddenly changed.

I stepped into thin air!

A fierce wind swept through the air, and the air around him instantly turned into chaotic turbulence!

This means that Geppo is no longer working!

"Tsk."

Ian smacked his lips.

The Float-Float Fruit activates!

The atmosphere is being manipulated!

Mihawk is in big trouble.

How despicable, Golden Lion Senior!

What? This isn't the world's premier fencing tournament, and it's not just about swordsmanship?

That's alright then.

"Lion's Might - Annihilation Slash!!"

As Mihawk fell, the Golden Lion approached like a phantom, black Inazuma dancing wildly on the twin swords in his hands!

Hawk Eyes's pupils contracted, but he continued to smile and swing his knife!

Ta-da!

After a series of sharp explosions, blood splattered across the sky as the bird plummeted straight down. The surrounding air was taken away, turning the bird into a vacuum. Unable to gain any leverage, Hawk Eyes was finally struck in the chest by the Golden Lion's sword.

Even though he used his Haki to defend himself the instant he was hit, a huge gash was still cleaved in his chest, and blood gushed out.

But the Golden Lion was still not satisfied.

"This is what real pirates are like! Die, brat!"

Sakura raised his hand high, the lion roared with laughter, and in the next instant, he was about to cleave this arrogant brat in two.

But at this moment.

"Kamunagi!!"

A powerful and Haki Cut Wave towards us.

The Golden Lion's expression suddenly changed, and he shattered the magnificent slash with a backhand.

The older man said with a touch of nostalgia, "I never thought I'd get to see Roger's moves again!"

Red-Haired stood below, gripping his sword, Inazuma crackling across its blade. "Golden Lion, how about I play with you for a bit?"

Boom!

Hawk Eyes successfully crashed not far away.

He clutched his chest, his face pale, and knelt on one knee in a classic superhero entrance pose, somewhat disgruntled. "Red-Haired, that guy is my opponent."

"Since you've already lost, stop being so stubborn, Mihawk,"

Ian chuckled softly from the sky, "If it weren't for Red-Haired, you might have already been cut in half."

"..."

Hawk Eyes's expression froze.

Red-Haired grinned and looked up at Golden Lion, "Shiki, you've killed all my friends. Even though it was his duel, give me a chance to avenge him too."

"Hahahaha!"

Senior Golden Lion burst into laughter, "You thought—"

Then his eyes widened suddenly, "You don't have to fall down, right!"

He swooped down.

Even faster than his figure was the force of his roaring descent!

The raging Conqueror's Haki instantly surged towards the golden -Red-Haired.

The Red-Haired's lips curled into a smile, and his equally ferocious Conqueror's Haki met the attack head-on. The two auras collided in mid-air, instantly causing the ground below to shatter.

In an instant, the Golden Lion fell like a meteorite, its twin swords slashing down with long trails of black Inazuma.

Damn that Sealed Dust Slash!

Red-Haired his swords with both hands, stomped the ground with his right foot, and swung his swords upwards, just like Roger did when he fought Whitebeard.

Boom!!

The overwhelming Haki crushed the earth and tore the sky apart.

"Ah, it's cracked again!"

Ace looked up.

The dark clouds began to dissipate again.

Below.

Red-Haired gritted his teeth inwardly; that was a truly heavy slash!

I realized I was far inferior to Captain Roger.

But it was at this very moment.

"Ice Cube - Exploding Pheasant Beak!"

The Golden Lion suddenly retreated, turning around to shatter the giant ice bird that was attacking him with a single sword strike. Even so, a burst of cold air spewed out from the shattered ice bird, directly hitting his face and covering his body with frost.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone looked at the man whose body was half-frozen.

What the hell is this guy doing? He has no sense of atmosphere at all! Aren't Golden Lion and Red-Haired about to fight?

"Kuzan?"

Vice Admiral Garp was taken aback.

Lieutenant Vice Admiral Kuzan scratched his naturally curly hair in surprise. "Wasn't the duel between Golden Lion and Hawk Eyes already over? There's no need for a one-on-one fight now, right?"

Red-Haired taken aback.

The Golden Lion was taken aback.

Garp was taken aback.

Even Ian was taken aback.

Indeed, cold weather can effectively improve a person's IQ.

"Shiki!!"

Without hesitation, with a roar, Vice Admiral Garp pounced towards the Golden Lion below.

Ian's lips twitched. A series of tag-team battles was one thing, but now they wanted three heroes to fight an old man?

Although Vice Admiral Garp is also an old man.
