Chapter Ninety-One
The Golden Lion glanced at the corpses of the henchmen on the ground, then waved his hand to have them cleaned up.
After cleaning up, the Golden Lion sat back in his seat, looking out the window where some ferocious-looking wild beasts were roaming.
Seeing those ferocious beasts, the Golden Lion felt a little better. These animals were the culmination of his years of hard work, and he planned to release them into the East Blue when the time was right, the greater the destruction they caused, the better.
Ever since his dream of ruling the world was shattered, his heart has become more insane than these animals; he wants revenge on the World Government!
Suddenly, the Golden Lion felt the ground beneath its feet tremble violently, and a strong sense of weightlessness appeared.
The island is called "Ville Hauteur". It was made into the sky by Golden Lion using his Float-Float Fruit ability. Now, even though his ability has not failed, the island has begun to sink.
The Golden Lion touched the ship's rudder stuck in his head, wondering if his strength had really declined to such a degree?
Boom! Another loud noise rang out, and the entire island began to tilt, its descent speed suddenly increasing. The pirates on the island lost their footing and fell to the ground. Pirates standing on the edge of the island even slid off the island and disappeared after screams of agony.
Golden Lion couldn't sit still any longer. He pressed his hands to the ground and used all his strength to activate the Devil Fruit ability, trying to return the island to its original position.
However, his efforts only slowed the island's descent slightly; it was still falling at an extremely fast pace and was about to crash into the sea below.
"Damn it! There must be other Ability User here!"
The Golden Lion's face was grim. His body floated up and rushed outwards. He flew into the air outside the island and looked down.
A Marine warship with peculiar patterns on its sails came into the Golden Lion's sight. He narrowed his eyes and locked onto the sailor standing at the bow who was looking at him.
Golden Lion sensed the aura of a powerful figure emanating from that navy officer. Judging from the leader of the navy, it seemed they had come specifically to find him. When had his location been exposed?
The navy officer standing at the bow of the warship was naturally Senga. At this moment, he also saw the Golden Lion rushing out from the island. With a slight smile, Senga stretched out an arm towards the Golden Lion in the sky and the island next to him.
A black vortex appeared in the palm of his hand and gradually expanded, its edge breaking through the palm and eventually growing to the size of a washbasin.
Banshō Ten'in!
Whoosh! The Golden Lion and the island beside him plummeted rapidly toward the sea. The Golden Lion frantically activated his Devil Fruit ability in mid-air, but he was horrified to find that his Devil Fruit ability was so powerless in the face of this gravitational pull.
Despite his best efforts, he could only barely move his position slightly to the left or right. Just as he was about to fall into the sea, the Golden Lion roared and moved into the air above the island. Then, he could no longer hold on and fell down, his body pressed tightly against the ground in a starfish shape.
Finally, the island sank into the sea with a loud bang.
Senga crossed her arms and looked at the sea. After a while, she suddenly said to the sea,
"Come out, is this all the strength you've got?"
There was no movement on the sea surface; it seemed as if Senga had been talking to himself.
Shaking his head, Senga made a spreading motion with his hands towards the sea, and the sea in front of him immediately split in the middle, revealing a "ball of earth" the size of a house.
The soil in the center of the clod began to crumble, revealing the Golden Lion inside, its face ashen as it stared at Senga.
Just before falling into the sea, Golden Lion used his ability to float the surrounding soil and cover himself to prevent himself from losing his ability to move after falling into the sea.
After falling into the sea, he didn't immediately try to resurface the earthen ball. He assumed Senga was also a Devil Fruit User, though he didn't want to admit it, Senga's abilities were indeed superior to his. (Tianlai Novel Network)
Having escaped from the Impel Down, his strength was diminished, and with age, the ship's rudder on his head had an increasingly greater impact on him.
He was no longer confident he could deal with Senga, so he planned to wait for Senga to leave the sea before going out himself.
Unexpectedly, Senga saw through his actions and didn't give him the chance.
The earthen ball encasing the Golden Lion began to slowly crumble, forming three lion heads around him, which then lashed out at Senga.
Faced with the three flying lion heads, Senga remained calm. With a thought, the room space unfolded.
The three lion heads, enveloped in the room space, suddenly vanished into thin air just as they were about to reach Senga's warship, only to reappear in front of the Golden Lion a second later.
The Golden Lion's pupils contracted, and it hurriedly raised its leg to unleash several slashing waves, shattering the lion head it had created.
The crisis was over, but he dared not relax. He still hadn't figured out what Senga's strange ability was.
However, Golden Lion is a seasoned pirate who has dominated the seas for decades, and he knows that panicking in battle is a major taboo.
He quickly calmed down. The seawater beneath his feet churned and formed several lion-head-shaped droplets, each almost the size of a warship.
Looking at the several enormous lion heads in front of him, Senga's lips twitched a few times. It wasn't that he was frightened by the Golden Lion's attack, but these lion heads reminded him of a famous 50/50 player from Hokage, Kakashi.
That guy is clearly desperately low on chakra, yet he likes to chat while wielding Lightning Blade. The most outrageous thing is that every time he uses Earth Style Wall, he likes to carve a few dog heads on it, supposedly because he borrows the chakra of his Chakra beasts?
Golden Lion had no idea that Senga could be thinking about so many random things while fighting him. He made a gesture, and the giant lion heads made of seawater rushed towards Senga's warship.
In his view, no matter how strange Senga's abilities were, once she was swept into the sea, she would be powerless to resist. Senga looked so young; how could she be as skilled as him in using her abilities?
However, the outcome was destined to disappoint him. The Golden Lion's seemingly formidable attack was once again transformed into countless water droplets by an invisible Repulsion Force.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Senga's forehead. They had almost capsized just now. He wasn't afraid of seawater, but the people on the ship were going to be in trouble. It was all Kakashi's fault!
