The blade flashed, and only then did Shiki's figure, cleaved in two, vanish.
"Zehahahaha! You brat, don't tell me you thought you could catch me just because my legs are gone. I'm Shiki!"
Shiki's wild, triumphant laughter rang out high in the sky.
Shiki, floating in midair, looked immensely pleased with himself.
Lin Ye sheathed his sword and looked at Shiki.
This guy was indeed fast, but Lin Ye had never expected to kill Shiki with that single strike.
He was an old pirate who had survived who knew how many brutal battles.
Back when the Flying Pirate Crew had clashed with the Roger Pirates, if not for the terrifying storm in the New World that had crushed the Flying Pirate Crew, who knew what the outcome of that battle might have been.
After all, compared to Roger's small crew, the Flying Pirate Crew had been the true behemoth back then.
Dozens of massive pirate ships floated high in the sky through Shiki's ability, giving them an enormous advantage against most enemies.
At his peak, Shiki's own strength would not have been inferior to Roger's.
Cunning, cruel, powerful, confident, arrogant...
Most of the traits commonly found in pirates on these seas could be found in Shiki.
Standing on the exposed black stone ground, Lin Ye looked up at Shiki in the sky.
Endless yellow sand floated overhead, obscuring the entire sky.
It was as though a massive continent were suspended in the heavens.
Shiki had developed the Float-Float Fruit's power to the utmost limit.
