The Remnants of the Old Era Make Their Exit!

Boom!

A deafening thunderclap resounded.

The Black Thunder God that Storm had transformed into appeared out of thin air in front of Golden Lion Shiki, as if by teleportation.

The air where Black Thunder God passed remained wisps of Black Lightning Arc, still crackling and popping.

Golden Lion Shiki sensed a terrifying threat from the enemy ahead.

Although he couldn't detect any movement from the enemy, his well-tested combat instincts prompted him to instinctively raise [Sakazuki] and [Karasuma] from his legs.

Almost at the same time.

Storm, in his Black Thunder God form, swung his right fist heavily at Golden Lion Shiki in front of him.

This is not "Electric Current Propelled Lightning Fist".

This is a fusion of [More-More Fruit - 100x Power] --

Thunder God's Fist!

Clang--

In that instant, Golden Lion Shiki instinctively raised [Sakazuki] and [Karasuma], managing to block the "Thunder God's Fist" unleashed by the Black Thunder God at the last possible moment.

A crisp, metallic clanging sound resounded through the sky.

However.

The time it took Golden Lion Shiki to withstand Thunder God's Fist was only a fleeting moment.

Feeling the terrifying power emanating from the twin swords, Golden Lion Shiki changed drastically, and his hands trembled violently.

Under Storm's "Thunder God's Fist".

The two Famous Swords, [Sakazuki] and [Karasuma], which had accompanied Golden Lion Shiki for countless years, detached from his body and transformed into two streaks of cold light that shot out in all directions.

At the same time, Golden Lion Shiki was also sent flying backward by the powerful force of the "Thunder God's Fist," like a yellow shooting star streaking across the sky.

A series of crackling sounds, like firecrackers, rang out on Golden Lion Shiki's body.

This is not just the lightning attack effect that comes with "Thunder God's Fist".

It was also the sound of Golden Lion Shiki's bones breaking!

Storm's "Thunder God's Fist," fused with the [More-More Fruit - 100x Power], was so powerful that even the Gorosei, Marcus Saint Mars, couldn't withstand it and had his head blown off with a single punch.

Not to mention Golden Lion Shiki, whose strength has declined by who knows how much!

It was just one punch.

Golden Lion Shiki was covered in blood high in the sky, and countless bones in his body were broken.

"Laozi..."

Blood flowed from Golden Lion Shiki's mouth and nose. The intense pain, transmitted from his limbs to his brain, caused his eyes to become bloodshot as well, making him look as grotesque and terrifying as a demon from hell.

"How could I possibly die here!"

Golden Lion Shiki activated the power of the Float- Float-Float Fruit, and the two Famous Swords, Sakazuki and Karasuma, which had just been sent flying far away, immediately returned to his side.

At the same time, Golden Lion Shiki shakily raised his hands and grasped the damned ship's wheel above his head!

The Battle of Edd War.

This should have been a full-scale Encirclement and Suppression of Roger's Roger Pirates by Golden Lion Shiki's Flying Pirates.

As a result, a super storm of unprecedented magnitude appeared out of nowhere.

The Flying Pirates, which Golden Lion Shiki was so proud of, were almost completely wiped out.

He himself also encountered an "unexpected disaster" - a ship's rudder that seemed to have floated in from nowhere landed precisely on the top of his head!

Golden Lion Shiki also wanted to take the ship's rudder.

Because of the presence of this ship's rudder, his abilities were greatly limited, especially his [Haki].

However, a doctor once pointed out that the rudder was inserted far too deeply.

Removing it rashly could very likely endanger a person's life.

Golden Lion Shiki had no choice but to keep the rudder.

To this day.

Golden Lion Shiki once again felt the breath of defeat.

What he found even harder to accept was that the source of this sense of danger was a new-age brat whom he completely disregarded!

This was something that Golden Lion Shiki could not accept no matter what.

"Lao Tzu--"

Golden Lion Shiki gripped the ship's rudder firmly above his head, a mad glint flashing in his slightly cloudy eyes.

"But it's the Golden Lion!!!"

Pfft--

Golden Lion Shiki suddenly pulled the ship's rudder off his head.

Crimson blood mixed with dark red brain matter splattered in mid-air, much of it landing on him, making his already horrifying appearance even more terrifying.

This scene was bloody, violent, and shocking.

Golden Lion Shiki forcibly removed the rudder, as if breaking some invisible shackles.

Black and red arcs of electricity erupted from Golden Lion Shiki's body, and an extremely strong sense of mental pressure burst forth and spread in all directions.

The Flying Pirate's Conqueror's Haki!!

"Hehehe--"

Golden Lion Shiki burst into a loud laugh, even suppressing the excruciating pain radiating from his body with his strong will.

"Conqueror's Haki! I can finally unleash my [Conqueror's Haki] again!"

Golden Lion Shiki's body suddenly trembled, a tremor of intense excitement.

He held [Sakazuki] and [Karasuma] in his hands, raised his longsword, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the Black Thunder God opposite him.

"Slash the Waves!"

A dazzling golden Flying Slash cleaved out from [Sakazuki]'s blade, instantly traversing most of the ocean area and arriving before the Black Thunder God that Storm had transformed into.

The Flying Slash formed by the "wave chop" was far more powerful than before, and the surrounding invisible air was forcibly compressed to the side.

If viewed from a distance...

You might even think that the entire sky had been cleaved apart by Golden Lion Shiki's slash!

Faced with an attack of this magnitude.

Storm, transformed into the Black Thunder God, raised his right fist. Empowered by the extreme black lightning, his speed was unbelievable, and his punching motion was also incredibly fast.

Boom!

Black Thunder God's fist struck the Flying Slash formed by "Wave Slash" directly.

With a deafening roar, the crescent-shaped Flying Slash broke in two from the middle, and scattered sword energy shot out in all directions, each strand of sword energy powerful enough to cleave gold and jade.

Black Thunder God directly blasted apart the Flying Slash formed by "Slice Wave," but still did not stop.

Boom!

Another thunderous explosion rang out.

Black Thunder God vanished from his spot and reappeared before Golden Lion Shiki in the blink of an eye.

However, Golden Lion Shiki, who had removed the rudder and temporarily returned to his peak condition, had already detected the Black Thunder God's movement using his Observation Haki.

Storm, transformed into the Black Thunder God, swung his right fist once more, his dark Haki mingling with the black lightning, almost indistinguishable from one another.

Golden Lion Shiki raised [Sakazuki] and [Karasuma] high above his head, their snow-white, sharp blades crackling with blinding black and red arcs of electricity.

"Thunder God's Fist!"

"Calamity Slash!"

Boom--

Storm's "Thunder God's Fist" and Golden Lion Shiki's "Sword of Calamity Slash" collided violently, and the surrounding space could not withstand the compression and collision of these two forces, instantly twisting and deforming.

The calm air suddenly became turbulent, transforming into a series of violent shockwaves that erupted and spread towards the sky and the ground. The clouds high above were ripped in two by the aftershocks of the battle, as if the sky had been completely torn apart!

This is a super collision of earth-shattering magnitude!

Storm and Golden Lion Shiki were locked in a stalemate, locked in a struggle, with surging air currents emanating from them and spreading outwards, as if stirring up a super gale.

Even the sea below became turbulent due to this terrifying aura.

As time goes by.

The Black Thunder God that Storm had transformed into remained as immovable as a towering mountain.

However, Golden Lion Shiki's explosive performance could not be sustained for long.

He had already been seriously injured in the battle, and then forcibly removed the ship's rudder from his head.

The Golden Lion Shiki was able to unleash such a powerful attack for such a short time can be described as a "last gasp before death."

The black and red arcs of electricity wrapped around [Sakazuki] and [Karasuma] gradually thinned out.

This symbolizes that the [Conqueror's Haki] unleashed by Golden Lion Shiki is also gradually weakening.

Storm ultimately prevailed in this stalemate.

Black Thunder God's fist lunged forward.

Exhausted, Golden Lion Shiki could no longer withstand the power of the "Thunder God's Fist" and was once again sent flying backward.

"Golden Lion Shiki, your story ends here."

Instead of giving chase, Storm manipulated the electrons in the surrounding natural environment using the [Rumble-Rumble Ring].

"Thousand Lightning!"

Endless white lightning poured down from the high sky, as if creating a thunderous waterfall connecting heaven and earth in this sea, sweeping away the remnants of the Old Era.

The continuous rumble of thunder drowned out all other noises in the world.

Golden Lion Shiki was completely engulfed by endless lightning.

This moment.

The thunderous roar all around was deafening and resounded through the sky.

Golden Lion Shiki, however, inexplicably felt a long-lost sense of peace.

"My era... is over... hehehehe..."

The once arrogant and domineering laughter of Golden Lion Shiki became barely audible amidst the thunderous roar.

The light in his cloudy, lion-like eyes gradually faded at that moment.

In the last moments of his life.

The image that surfaced in Golden Lion Shiki's mind was not that of the White Dragon that had just defeated him, but rather the man he could never forget for the rest of his life.

"Roger..."

Golden Lion Shiki, died.

A brand new Big Trophy suddenly appeared in the void before Storm.

The magnificent Big Trophy is adorned with countless stars, forming a dense array around its Big Trophy, resembling a dreamlike and beautiful galaxy.

It is worth noting that both the Big Trophy and the stars on it emit a scarlet glow.

This is a Death Trophy!

[Star Trophy: Golden Lion Shiki]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★★] (Seven Stars)

"The remnants of the Old Era, Captain of the Flying Pirates, Golden Lion Shiki, has exited the stage..."

Storm gazed at the Seven Stars of Big Trophy before him, radiating a crimson glow, and a series of thoughts raced through his mind.

Back when we were still in Impel Down.

Storm once revealed his ambition to Ivankov, the Okama King.

He's going to become the strongest pirate of the new era!

He wants to purge the remnants of the Old Era!

In this new era that will be named "Vongola Storm," there will be no place for the remnants of the Old Era.

Golden Lion Shiki.

This was the first "remnant of the Old Era" to fall at the hands of Storm, and also the first legendary pirate of the Old Era.

But it definitely won't be the last one!

Storm took a deep breath and put away the [Golden Lion Shiki], which represented the [Star Trophy].

Immediately afterwards, he transformed into lightning and flashed to the front of Golden Lion Shiki's corpse.

Although Golden Lion Shiki is dead, his Devil Fruit ability cannot be wasted.

Storm's right hand, adorned with the [Demon Ring], reached towards the corpse of Golden Lion Shiki.

The Devil Power that had not yet dissipated from the latter's corpse was drawn back together by the [Demon Ring].

A brand new Devil Fruit was born...

[Float-Float Fruit]!
