Defeat

Like moving mountains and filling seas, the entire world crumbled and spread. Hurricanes raged and destroyed, and plumes of smoke relentlessly eroded the land. Cracks began to appear on the massive island.

The flow was constant, with violent explosions and continuous transactions.

The mountains rise and fall, surrounded by islands, like shooting stars that shake the atmosphere and plummet down.

With a slightly solemn expression, Ye Chen's brows furrowed, and with a flick of his finger, drops of blood shot up.

"Boom boom boom"

Smoke billowed, and a massive explosion stirred up waves. Shots flew everywhere in the Strange Stone Ridge, turning into a shower of meteors that plummeted towards the sea.

Piercing through the smoke of battle like a streak of light, Ye Chen appeared before the Golden Lion, unleashing a furious kick.

Armament Haki crimson armor, the Golden Lion's fist slammed heavily into Ye Chen's foot. The mountain-like power was unparalleled, transforming directly into a cannonball that pierced through several islands.

Following closely behind, the two streaks of Rankyaku, swooped down, and disappeared from the spot.

As he flew backward, the Golden Lion coughed up blood and kicked out with a slashing motion, which collided violently with the pursuing Rankyaku.

Just then, Ye Chen appeared and kicked the Golden Lion in the side. A cracking sound could be heard, and the Golden Lion changed its trajectory and crashed into another island, kicking up endless rocks.

His expression changed drastically, and without a second thought, the Golden Lion rolled away from where he stood.

The next moment, Ye Chen plummeted, his feet sinking deep into the ground. The entire island collapsed completely. Just then, two slashes were aimed directly at Ye Chen.

With a single wave of his hand, the airflow exploded. As the smoke cleared, Ye Chen turned his head, a strand of hair dripping down, revealing a scar on his face.

Reaching out, Ye Chen wiped the blood from his face, his expression turning cold. This old guy, even with his strength diminished and having fought Enel for so long, still had the power to resist. He truly lived up to his legendary status.

Shake your arms, warm-up is over, now the battle officially begins!

With each step, ripples spread like water droplets falling into a lake, and a vast expanse of shadows stretched out in a continuous line.

With a look of horror in his eyes, the Golden Lion stared at Ye Chen, who had appeared in front of him without any warning, and all the fur on his body stood on end.

"Puff"

Like a boiled shrimp, the Golden Lion bent over, spitting out mouthfuls of blood, its eyes trying to burst out of their sockets. At this moment, time seemed to slow down. Ye Chen turned to the side and kicked out again.

"Call out"

The dazzling light, like a mountain peak in the night, vanished in an instant. As islands crumbled one after another, the Golden Lion lay on a larger island.

The shadow moved sideways, Ye Chen appeared, stepping down with his foot.

In the critical moment, the Golden Lion raised its hands to block in front of it, and in an instant, everything collapsed, causing the Golden Lion to fall.

"Hateful."

The opponent's speed was so unpredictable that it was impossible to detect with Observation Haki.

"Meteor Descent."

With a sinister look in his eyes, the Golden Lion watched Ye Chen, who kept flashing by and leaving trails of shadows in his wake, as he activated his ability. The surrounding islands began to tremble and all rushed towards Ye Chen, crushing him in one fell swoop.

With a frown, Ye Chen was forced to stop as he watched the island looming over him. Accompanied by a terrifying mushroom cloud, two halos of light swept across, creating a vacuum.

Surrounded by smoke and flames, Ye Chen swooped down. The island had been cleared, and it was time to press his advantage.

But the Golden Lion was already prepared, and his aura changed completely.

He flashed to the scene and threw a punch, causing ripples in the air. But in the blink of an eye, the Golden Lion raised its hand and actually intercepted Ye Chen's attack.

A slight change appeared in Ye Chen's cold pupils. He hadn't expected that the Golden Lion, who had just been passively attacked, could actually resist his attack.

A cold glint flashed, a sword light flickered, and Ye Chen had no choice but to create distance.

"Ghost, what kind of ability is this? It's so similar to Roger's Voice of All Things."

The golden fur stood on end, Golden Lion wore a cold expression.

That's right, Ye Chen has now entered the Observation Haki Control, the ability that once overwhelmed Kaido within five seconds.

By combining his Observation Haki and perception with his physical abilities, Ye Chen's five senses and physical attributes were greatly enhanced. He could control the wind, clouds, sounds, and emotions around him.

However, Ye Chen did not answer Golden Lion's question because this move consumed too much energy and had a time limit, so Ye Chen was racing against time.

Ye Chen crossed over again and launched an attack on the Golden Lion.

This time, however, the Golden Lion was not passively taking hits; instead, it was on the defensive, but found it difficult to launch an attack.

Don't forget, Golden Lion is not only a master of Three-Color Haki, but also a Great Swordsman.

Great Swordsman's Swordsman's Intuition is even more complex than Observation Haki. It is a swordsman's exclusive Awakening skill. Furthermore, Golden Lion has combined Observation Haki and Swordsman's Intuition to form an ability similar to automatic blocking.

Otherwise, how could he have stood against Roger, Whitebeard, Red Count, becoming the strongest ruler of his time?

At first, the Golden Lion didn't react, but now, Ye Chen's unpredictable attacks were no longer as terrifying as before.

Elbows bent, accompanied by a metallic clang, sparks flying.

If one were to observe at this moment, it would be apparent that Ye Chen was launching a continuous barrage of attacks, while the Golden Lion was merely passively defending, unable to mount any effective offensive maneuvers.

This means that Golden Lion was being overwhelmed by Ye Chen, and coupled with his injuries from the battle with Enel, Golden Lion was already at his limit. Without any trump cards, defeat was only a matter of time.

In an instant, two afterimages appeared and disappeared without a trace, and the surrounding floating islands trembled and fell silent.

"Boom boom boom"

Suddenly, a terrifying mushroom cloud appeared, destroying everything and forming a storm that threw the surrounding area into chaos. Island after island began to lose their balance and fall into the sea of clouds below.

Looking somewhat disheveled, Ye Chen transformed into black flames and chased after the Golden Lion.

As the figure continued to fall, the Golden Lion leaned back, watching Ye Chen approach. It gritted its teeth, forcibly swallowing the metallic taste in its throat, and with a wave of its hands, the two falling islands attacked Xuan Ye from both sides.

With a deafening crash and tumbling rocks, accompanied by endless dust and a plume of smoke, it continued its relentless descent.

"Whoosh!"

Rising abruptly from the ground, piercing the clouds, two slashes swept away everything in their path.

However, Ye Chen, high in the sky, remained expressionless. With a wave of his hand, the air currents seemed to come alive, directly striking the Golden Lion and causing an explosion.

Thick black smoke billowed down, accompanied by a scorching, chaotic force.

The sea roared, ripples spread, and the Golden Lion's figure stopped on the sea. Following closely behind, smoke billowed, and Ye Chen crashed to the ground.

The sword light clashed, creating a chaotic and disorganized spectacle.

Moments of explosions echoed through the air as two afterimages chased each other in a terrifying battle that destroyed everything in its path.

Suddenly, the ground collapsed, the entire dark sky tilted, and a terrifying mushroom cloud, surrounded by two halos of light, tilted and towered into the sky.

Chaos reigned, the atmosphere fractured in large sections, and the destructive power was beyond measure.

A dark shadow, now only a head remaining, with most of its body surrounded by smoke and fire, arced through the air and crashed onto an island.

At the same time, the vast islands, having lost their balance, crashed one after another into the sea with a whooshing sound.

In an instant, the entire sea area was churned up with towering waves.
