Shiki's Backup Plan

However, with his strength, he is not afraid even if he is facing two opponents at once.

Only...

His gaze finally settled on Yi Xiao. He couldn't discern what abilities this guy possessed. However, this guy was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the two of them in front of him.

What does this mean?

This means that this guy's strength is at least no less than that of these two.

More importantly, he actually felt a sense of pressure emanating from this person. This indicated that this guy's strength might even surpass those two Logia.

Such a powerful figure should have been famous throughout the world long ago!

How come I've never heard of it before?

Smiled, then turned to Enel and Shiryu and said, "You two deal with him, I'll handle the island."

Enel and Shiryu exchanged a glance. They knew Shiryu's ability: the Paramecia - Press-Press Fruit... It allowed them to manipulate the strength and direction of gravity at will, instantly raising gravity to a height of tens of thousands of kilometers above the ground and pulling down meteorites carrying intense heat and flames.

It can also make objects float in Weightlessness, and in addition, it can make gravity repel attacks. It can also reverse the direction of gravity in an area, causing everything on the ground to fall into the sky.

The Shiki in front of them is Devil Fruit User, a Float Man who can make himself or objects float in the air, and can control objects he touches (i. e., non-living things) to float.

The maximum weight a floating object can bear is currently unknown, and Shiki has kept dozens of islands floating at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters for years. He can also manipulate floating objects to attack enemies, but he cannot make any living being other than himself float. If the user is defeated, the floating object will fall to the ground.

These were all mentioned in previous intelligence reports about powerful individuals.

Therefore, Issho wasn't being arrogant. This is because Issho's Paramecia -type Press-Press Fruit is a superior version of Shiki's Paramecia Float-Float Fruit.

One can only make objects Weightlessness, and cannot even affect living things. The other has complete control over gravity and can act on any person or object.

Thinking of this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, they would be fine facing the small island that crashed down. But the Gold City below would be in a much worse situation. It would most likely be sunk.

When the captain returns, it won't be easy to explain.

"Hehehehe..."

At this moment, the Shiki let out his signature laugh and then smashed the island down. He had realized that these three people would never agree to his conditions and hand over half of the Beli on Golden Island unless he taught them a lesson.

Yi Xiao remained suspended in mid-air, simply pointing his cane sword at the small island crashing down from above. "Weightlessness!"

A series of purple halos shot towards the island.

Don't underestimate Yixiao's abilities; he's the kind of person who can pull down meteorites from tens of thousands of meters in the sky. So, using his abilities to Weightlessness a small island is really not too difficult for him.

Sure enough, when the first purple light circle hit the island, its falling speed slowed down. By the time the island was about to hit Yixiao, it had completely Weightlessness its weight.

It stopped the moment it touched the crutch sword in Yixiao's hand.

"How is that possible?"

The Shiki couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He smiled coldly and said, "I ate Paramecia Press-Press Fruit. Is there anything strange about being able to do this?"

Upon hearing this, the Shiki's pupils contracted sharply.

He wasn't stupid; he immediately realized that the blind guy in front of him was actually a higher-level ability user.

This is troublesome!

The Shiki isn't stupid. Losing the island as a bargaining chip means he's lost the initiative. Forget about getting Beli; he doesn't even want to leave here today.

I'm afraid it will be a tough battle.

At the same time, he understood that the blind man in front of him was the key. If he could take him down, everything would return to normal...

"Slash Wave..."

Shiki was a very decisive person. Once he made a decision, he immediately launched an attack. He kicked out a giant sword aura with the sword on his foot, heading towards Yixiao.

Don't underestimate Shiki; he's not just a powerful Devil Fruit User, but also a Great Swordsman...

The force of the strike is enough to cut through the sea surface for hundreds of kilometers.

"Brush..."

Shiryu the first move. As a fellow Great Swordsman, he was already excited to face Shiki, Great Swordsman of the previous era.

Upon seeing the Shiki unleash its Slash Wave, how could he possibly hold back?

He transformed into an arc of electricity, blocking Yi Xiao a hundred meters away. Then, he unleashed a powerful Raiu Slash Wave from his hand towards the incoming slashing wave.

"Boom..."

Under the powerful impact, Shiryu was blasted fifty-six meters away. However, he successfully withstood the attack...

"Tsk tsk..."

Shiryu laughed excitedly; the stronger the opponent, the more excited he became.

There was another person like him, and that was Enel.

"30 Million Volts Thunder Beast..."

Enel struck the large drum on his left shoulder, unleashing a giant bolt of lightning. This attack not only possessed physical power but also the characteristics of a powerful electric current.

Its power is extraordinary.

The key point is that all of Enel's moves have one characteristic: speed, so fast that they are difficult to defend against.

However, the Shiki on the opposite side was also a king of his time.

Speed is not a problem for him.

Just then, the Shiki, which had just unleashed a Slash Wave, spun around and unleashed another Slash Wave to meet the Thunder Beast.

It may seem slow, but it's actually fast; it all happens in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the Shiki scrutinized the three of them once more.

His gaze first fell on Yixiao: "Paramecia -type Gravity Devil Fruit User."

Then came Shiryu: "Logia Fruit user, and also Great Swordsman."

Finally, Enel, "Although only the Logia - Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability was displayed, this Rumble-Rumble Fruit truly lives up to its reputation as the most destructive Logia."

Perhaps he surpasses this person in many other aspects. But in terms of the power of his techniques alone, he is definitely not much inferior...

Where did that brat Moke dig up such a guy?

Shiryu alright, being the Chief Warden Impel Down. As far as he knew, Enel and Issho... initially completely ignored them.

Especially Enel.

At least Ikko had the title of "Blind Swordsman," so he could at least find out something. But Enel seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

"Hehehehe..."

At this moment, the Shiki burst into laughter again, his laughter extremely arrogant.

"You think you're safe now that you've dealt with this island and blocked my way? Then try this trick of mine again..."

The next second, the Shiki was seen plummeting rapidly towards the sea.

"???"

Shiryu, Enel, and Issho all wore puzzled expressions, not understanding what he meant. But the next second, the three of them widened their eyes, looking utterly incredulous.

They were clearly shocked.
