Lion King + Shattering King!

What terrifying power!

Is this truly a power that humans can possess?

It's practically like a legendary super- Danger Beasts, except it looks human.

"Hiss----"

Brand took a deep breath, enduring the pain in his abdomen, and struggled to stand up from the pit. His face beneath the Visor was deathly pale, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

Hearing Bullet's question, fearing the other might cause trouble for Leone, he immediately sneered and replied, "Whatever you want to know, you'll have to defeat me first. And let me remind you, our battle has only just begun!"

He had barely finished speaking when he didn't even wait for the other person to reply.

Brand unleashed the immense power from his muscles, using the broken half of his gun to deliver a stunning vacuum slash.

"Oh?"

"Not only Armament Haki, but he can even use Flying Slash ~"

God the Physical Arts abilities previously displayed by the Empire, Bullet is a veteran who has fought in three worlds. This is truly the first time he has encountered an alternate world with a power system so similar to that of the Sea Star.

"However, it's still too weak!"

Bullet grinned and casually slapped away the dazzling blade of light that was attacking him.

The next second.

Before the roar had even subsided, he displayed an agility quite incongruous with his massive size, comparable to a two-story building, and reappeared in front of Brand in the blink of an eye.

[Boom!]

But the Setsuna his hand, carrying a surging wave of energy, slammed down on the latter, it only shattered a lifelike phantom.

"Um?"

Clearly, Brand was prepared this time, managing to dodge the attack at the last second, leaving an afterimage in the process.

This is the afterimage created by high-speed movement.

It can be said to be the most favored technique among the world's top martial arts masters.

In the original work, Esdeath was killed by Akame's afterimage, but given that the former repeatedly demonstrated her ability to sense presence.

Therefore, we have reason to doubt.

Akame probably used Melard to conceal her aura in order to successfully deceive Esdeath.

After all, Melard was Akame's master, having personally taught her for a period of time.

From this perspective...

Esdeath was essentially killed by Melard.

Returning to the Brand that had fooled Bullet, normally it shouldn't have been useful to Bullet.

Although Bullet is more proficient in Armament Haki than Observation Haki is still Observation Haki, and it still has its basic functions.

Why is that?

"Phew—it seems the 'Incursio' ability is effective against this monster. Finally, I've found an advantage."

Brand, who was hiding nearby, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Bullet's reaction.

He was genuinely worried that Bullet would spot him immediately.

Turn out to be.

The moment Brand created the afterimage, he activated the 'Incursio' ability, a transparent invisibility that also had the passive effect of concealing his presence.

He used to think this move was the secret technique of 'Incursio'.

Because it is indeed very useful, I have used it to solve the problems of many Alkemi Alchemists.

"But what does 'continuous evolution' mean? How do we activate this ability?"

Just as Brand went into hiding,

Bullet glanced around, somewhat speechless, because he genuinely couldn't find the former's location.

The combination of 'invisibility' and 'Observation Killing' is indeed quite impressive.

However.

Bullet had already come up with a solution in those few seconds.

[Bang!]

With a sudden burst of speed, his right foot Earth Split, and he charged towards Leone in the distance like a terrifying beast amidst Sound Explosion boom.

This was his riot.

The surrounding air began to boil and surge, quickly transforming into a Tornado that swept outwards.

"Army General, you can become invisible, but can that woman do the same?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Bullet's unrestrained laughter, carried by the surging wind, reached the ears of everyone on the nearby battlefield.

"Not good!"

Brand's expression changed drastically, while Leone, the target, snorted coldly, her golden vertical pupils becoming exceptionally sharp.

"You really think I'm a pushover?"

She transformed into a black and gold blur, like an enraged female lion, and pounced on Bullet.

However, he failed to notice that the Rear Admiral with whom he had been fighting for some time not only made no attempt to stop him, but instead revealed a mocking smile.

Leone's Teigu is a belt-type 'Lionelle [Lion King]'.

The basic ability is to transform into a lion-man, greatly enhancing all aspects of physical abilities, especially making the sense of smell extremely prominent.

In this 'beast form', her hands will turn into golden lion paws, a pair of golden lion ears will grow on her head, and a golden lion tail will appear behind her.

This ability was all too familiar to the Sea Star Person; wasn't it just the Zoan Lion-Lion Fruit?

Moreover, it's an incomplete version without the 'beast form'.

However, there is also a legend that this "Lionelle" and "Incursio" both have the hidden danger of corrupting the body of the Teigu User, and will gradually turn a person into a true super Danger Beasts "Lion King"!

Besides.

Leone's right hand was still covered by a silver-gray steel gauntlet.

This is her Shingu, 'Shattering King,' which, when activated, grants this arm incredible Monstrous Strength and powerful offensive capabilities.

However, because it is Shingu, it also has significant side effects. If the user's physical condition and fitness are not up to standard, it is very likely to cause serious injury to their arm.

In an instant.

Because both sides were moving at incredible speeds, the mere few hundred meters between them collided violently in less than a few seconds as they were hurtling towards each other.

Only then did the Sound Explosion from behind catch up.

"Tear them to Lion King, you minions!!!"

In his 'beast-like' form, Leone roared as he Coating all the Armament Haki he had just mastered onto his golden-haired lion fist.

This further amplified the power of her already terrifying punch, which created a cone-shaped air shield along its path.

Hahahaha!

"Come!"

Bullet laughed wildly. Fortunately, he didn't use techniques like 'Hardening', 'Coating', or 'Internal Destruction'. He simply Coating a Formless layer of Haki around his fist.

[Duang------]

A fist wearing a white glove, as large as a spherical cannonball, and a fist wearing silver steel gauntlets, but slightly smaller, collided, each enveloped in a visible aura.

[Boom!]

A fierce and terrifying energy burst forth in all directions, causing the battlefield ground centered on the two to crack layer by layer, and the surrounding air to resemble boiling water, forming clearly visible ripples.

[Click... click]

After a few seconds of fighting, cracks appeared on Leone's 'Shattering King' and it exploded into a large number of fragments that shot out.

"So strong!"

Suddenly, under Leone's violently trembling eyes, her right arm exploded into a cloud of blood mist with a loud bang. She could no longer hold on, and was sent flying backward, spitting out a long jet of blood.

"Die!!"

At the same time, Brand, clad in white armor, appeared out of thin air behind Bullet, Coating with an aura of Haki, towards Barrett's left temple with all his might.
