Vs. Golden Lion

The Shiki's pupils contracted sharply; he had never seen such power before.

It gave him a feeling of unease.

He thought to himself, "Is it some kind of ability again?"

However, he was, after all, the king of the previous generation. His reaction was not slow at all. He raised his right leg and Oto directly met the Nidai Kitetsu in Moke's hand.

"Clang..."

A powerful force clashed violently between the two.

A terrifying Shockwave was instantly generated, sweeping outwards from the two individuals.

"Rumble..."

Wherever it passed, the ground crumbled, trees snapped, and within a kilometer radius, everything was reduced to ruins.

This shows just how terrifying their strength is.

Shiki stared intently at Moke, now realizing that this young man possessed strength no less than his own.

"Hehehehe... You are, apart from Red-Hair, the most outstanding junior I have ever seen."

As he spoke, he spun around in mid-air, and his other leg immediately slashed at Moke at an uncanny angle.

"Brush..."

Moke instantly drew his Shusui sword, blocking the attack.

"Boom..."

Then the two of them suddenly exerted their strength, and the terrifying power sent them flying more than ten meters before they regained their footing.

Shiki's gaze fell upon Shusui and the Nidai Kitetsu, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Your sword is not bad... no worse than my Oto and Kogarashi."

Indeed, he could tell at a glance that both swords were Great Grade Meito.

Then, his gaze fell on the Sandai Kitetsu at Moke's waist. He raised an eyebrow. "You kid, you're not a Three-Sword Style, are you?"

These words carried a hint of sarcasm.

Because he had never seen this kind of swordsmanship before. Besides, a person only has two hands, except for a few special cases. How could someone use a third sword?

With your mouth?

Isn't this nonsense?

Unless someone like Kaido has reached a level of physical inhumanity, who has teeth strong enough to withstand the force of those attacks?

One move and all your teeth fall out?

Therefore, in his view, Moke was simply showing off.

"Lion - Thousand-Cut Valley!"

An upgraded version of the Slash Wave, it is more powerful than the Slash Wave. Using Oto and Kogarashi, it can unleash multiple sword energies that are enough to slice through a mountain-sized body of water.

Its power is absolutely terrifying.

Moke narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he was confident he could defeat Shiki, he wouldn't underestimate him in the slightest, because this guy possessed more than just a powerful Devil Fruit Ability.

He is also a terrifyingly powerful Great Swordsman!

"Call..."

Moke took a deep breath, bent his knees slightly, crossed his arms, held his twin swords behind him, and then assumed a charging stance.

"Boom..."

In the next instant, Moke suddenly exerted force with his legs, the powerful impact shattering the rock layers on the ground. Then, he charged towards the dozen or so Slash Wave from the Shiki.

"Brush..."

A unique cross-shaped slash appeared, attached to the blade. Everything in its path was cleaved in two, including the Shiki's Slash Wave.

"Not good..."

The Shiki's expression changed drastically, for he discovered that after breaking through his Slash Wave, Moke's momentum had not diminished, and he continued to charge towards him.

Its onslaught was so fierce that even he trembled with fear.

He immediately stood on his ground in the shape of Oto, raised his leg and thrust out with the Kogarashi. At the same time, Armament Haki wrapped around the Kogarashi.

"Clang..."

It must be said that the Shiki, as Great Swordsman, has truly exceptional eyesight. Swift, ruthless, and accurate, he struck directly at the center of Moke's special slash.

It blocked Moke's attack.

However, Moke's terrifying power successfully caused Shiki to suffer a loss. After taking the attack, Shiki was sent flying.

"Well!"

Moke couldn't help but sigh.

This clash made him realize that Shiki's strength was no longer that of a super-strong warrior who could be compared to Whitebeard and Roger.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

Shiki was originally a Two-Sword Style, wielding swords with perfect coordination of his waist and stance, utilizing the strength of his entire body. But now, he only has the strength of his legs and some of his waist.

Most importantly, although he can unleash Slash Wave with his legs, for a Great Swordsman, what use are legs compared to hands?

The Shiki is still very strong, but compared to his former self, he is now only about 60-70% of his former strength.

The Shiki's pupils shrank to pinpoints during this clash.

He also realized this problem. Putting everything else aside, in terms of strength alone, he was no longer the same person he used to be. In terms of strength, he was no match for the kid in front of him.

"Brush..."

But who is he?

How could the supreme overlord of the sea easily admit defeat? He raised his leg, and Oto swung it fiercely.

An even more terrifying Slash Wave erupted, striking directly at Moke.

Moke sheathed his twin swords at his waist; the Shiki was no longer worthy of his attention.

"Shave..."

Moke vanished from his spot in an instant, easily dodging the Shiki's attack while simultaneously entering a state of high-speed movement.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Shiki.

However, Shiki's Observation Haki was also quite good. He had already detected Moke's figure, so the moment Moke appeared, Kogarashi slashed towards Moke's location.

Moke Armament Haki Coating, his fingers transforming into blades. Then he directly grabbed the Kogarashi...

Upon seeing this, the Shiki's expression changed drastically.

However, his reaction was quick; with a light leap, Oto stabbed directly into Moke's abdomen.

Moke reacted quickly, reaching out with his other hand to firmly grab Oto. Then he raised his leg and kicked the Golden Lion hard in the waist.

"Collapse!"

With immense force, Moke was kicked flying. He crashed heavily into a mountainside a hundred meters away, becoming completely embedded in it.

"Click click..."

The mountainside in that area developed cracks centered around the Shiki statue, and the cracks spread rapidly, soon covering the entire area.

Finally, the entire mountain collapsed.

The Shiki was buried there.

But the next second, all of these shattered rocks rose up and hovered in mid-air.

Then, the Shiki emerged from it.

At this moment, he had blood on the corner of his mouth and looked somewhat disheveled. But at this moment, he seemed to have returned as a king, exuding his full power.

He raised his hand.

All the rocks suspended in mid-air began to move and started spinning around him. The speed of the spin increased rapidly, eventually forming a "tornado" of rocks!

"Go..."

With a push from the Shiki, this special "tornado" immediately swept towards Moke.

It must be said that this move was incredibly powerful and visually striking. An ordinary person would have been terrified long ago.

Even the commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates had to temporarily avoid his attacks.
