Hawk Eyes, standing in front of the two,
He lowered his body slightly, placed the Black Blade Yoru at his waist, and stared intently at the overwhelming golden slashes.
"Buzz--!"
Black Blade Yoru left a thin line in front of him. There was no earth-shattering force, only an extremely refined, dark green slash that spread forward in a fan shape!
"Hiss hiss hiss--!"
A series of teeth-grinding cutting sounds rang out as the menacing golden torrent of slashes was brutally "disintegrated" within a ten-foot radius in front of Hawk Eyes.
It transformed into countless disordered golden specks of light, vanishing without a trace!
Hawk Eyes, alone with his sword, carved out an absolute "safe zone" amidst the torrent of slashes!
"Well done, Mihawk!"
Roy praised, while also keeping himself busy.
The Gravity Domain expanded, encompassing the Golden Lion. The left hand did not retract, and the spiritual energy continued to coil upwards, with the ' Universal Pull ' constantly intertwining with the Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit.
An unseen contest unfolded between the two!
The Golden Lion immediately felt a sharp increase in gravity around its body, as if it were sinking into quagmire, and its movements involuntarily slowed down.
To his even greater surprise, the invisible force that had just shattered was making a comeback, constantly enveloping him and attempting to forcibly 'seize' his levitation ability and pull him to the ground.
"You brat! You want to compete with me in ability?!"
Golden Lion was both shocked and furious. He had roamed the seas for many years, and this was the first time he had encountered someone who dared to challenge his Float-Float Fruit in this way!
He immediately focused his mind, unleashing a surge of Haki and Devil Fruit power to counteract Roy's Gravity Suppression.
The Devil Fruit power clashed fiercely with Roy's Telekinesis abilities, and faint sounds like shattering glass echoed through the air—a testament to the collision and annihilation of their powers!
For a time, most of the Golden Lion's energy was tied up by Roy, and the power and frequency of his slashes decreased significantly.
"Now! Bullet!" Roy shouted.
"I can't wait any longer! Yeah!"
Bullet roared, his body enveloped in swirling air as he unleashed his Armament Haki to its fullest potential. He slammed his feet into the ground, using the wind to his advantage, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.
Taking advantage of the moment when Roy was holding Golden Lion back, it broke through the sparse net of slashes and appeared above Golden Lion's head.
"Get down there, you son of a bitch!"
His hands, covered in jet-black Armament Haki, came together and were raised high above his head before slamming them down directly onto the Golden Lion's head.
Golden Lion's pupils contracted; Roy's restraint prevented him from dealing with the situation as calmly as before!
In his haste, he could only hold the Famous Sword " Kogarashi " above his head and frantically pour in Armament Haki!
"Clang--!"
Bullet slammed his hands down on the blade!
A terrifying force surged through the blade, and the Golden Lion groaned, losing its balance as it plummeted straight into the sea below.
"Success!"
Bullet's eyes flashed with excitement. Seizing the advantage, he pressed his advantage, unleashing a series of Geppo attacks to give chase.
However, the Golden Lion, which has made a great name for itself on the high seas, is not so simple.
"Hahaha! Interesting!"
Although the rapidly falling Golden Lion was caught off guard, it also flew downwards with the force of Bullet's movement. The moment it touched the sea surface, it slashed its twin swords in the water!
"Lion's Might - Sea Roll!"
"Boom--!"
The sea below suddenly bulged, and towering lion heads, hundreds of meters high, surged forward with overwhelming force.
Bullet, who had just landed, and Roy and Hawk Eyes behind him swooped down!
Stop with those little tricks, Golden Lion!
Roy flicked his finger, and the still-unsettled sea boiled again, with water dragons shooting into the sky, each one lifelike, clashing with the Golden Lion's sea lion head.
"What!?"
Golden Lion's pupils contracted; he hadn't expected Roy's Devil Fruit ability to have so many variations.
By controlling Gravity Suppression and using mental power to extend his buoyancy, he can also manipulate seawater in a similar way to fight back, without even having to directly contact the seawater.
It feels like Lao Tzu's Float-Float Fruit is fake!
"Damn it! What kind of monster is this kid?!"
Golden Lion was secretly alarmed; Roy and his group were far more troublesome than he had anticipated.
Just as his mind was distracted by Roy's sea dragon, and the lion head he was controlling momentarily froze,
A chilling killing intent suddenly appeared behind him.
It was Hawk Eyes! He had Geppo circled around to the side and rear of Golden Lion without anyone noticing, gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, raised it high to his left shoulder, and slashed down diagonally.
" One Sword Style: Severing Sky!"
There was no sound, no light, not even the trajectory of the slash! Only Hawk Eyes's faint voice, like the whisper of death, rang out.
"Asshole!"
Golden Lion's hair stood on end, his Observation Haki flashed a frantic warning, and he abandoned his confrontation with Roy's abilities. He forcibly twisted his body, crossed his twin swords in front of him, and unleashed Armament Haki, hastily combining it with Conqueror's Haki.
"Damn it!"
A piercingly loud tearing sound of metal rang out!
Hawk Eyes's figure instantly appeared more than ten meters behind the Golden Lion, hovering in mid-air using the Geppo technique.
Roy used his mental Telekinesis to envelop Hawk Eyes and quickly pulled him back in front of him.
Goodness, I didn't expect Hawk Eyes to have some moves too. When he shouted out the name of the move just now, Roy felt a surge of excitement for no reason.
Hawk Eyes gave Roy a strange look, his gaze intense.
At this moment, the Golden Lion stood frozen in place, his kimono torn at the chest, a thin thread appearing on his chest, from which blood slowly seeped out.
Although they managed to defend themselves hastily, they couldn't completely stop the attack!
Hawk Eyes's ' Severing Sky ' strike still left a small wound on his body.
Damn it!
It's been so many years, and apart from fighting a few old rivals, he hasn't been injured at all.
Having been injured by these brats just a few days ago, Golden Lion turned around, his eyes filled with a violent killing intent as he looked at Hawk Eyes. "You... you're asking for death!"
However, before he could finish speaking, another arrogant voice came from above.
"Stop talking big, you old man!"
It was Tesoro, who had disappeared, who rushed over after sensing the commotion.
Behind him, a continuous stream of deep purple Lightning was drawn by him, transforming into a torrent in the air, and finally turning into a long spear in his hand, which he then hurled out.
"Take this, old man!"
Wherever the spear passed, the air seemed to ignite, leaving a scorching purple trail!
He was first interfered with by Roy's abilities, then shot down by Bullet, and finally injured by that Hawk Eyes brat. Now, even an unknown kid dares to look down on him.
"You... you bunch... you damned brats!!!"
The Golden Lion's suppressed yet furious voice rang out from his throat, the anger and humiliation that had been suppressed since the start of the war finally igniting his rage!
His long, golden hair danced wildly in his anger, truly resembling an enraged lion.
