" Zesi's spirit is even greater than that of the Golden Lion?"

"How is this possible? That Golden Lion that could devour the world actually lost to Natural Disaster Zesi, the Conqueror's Haki Spirit?"

"No way, no matter what, Zesi is still so young. Even if he's strong enough and possesses Conqueror's Haki, Conqueror's Haki can't be improved through training. How could his Conqueror's Haki at such a young age be comparable to, or even stronger than Golden Lion Golden Lion?"

Seeing that Golden Lion's Conqueror's Haki was actually suppressed by Zesi, several Marine officers said in disbelief.

If we're talking about who poses the biggest threat to the Navy in the New World right now...

Not Roger had just become the Pirate King.

It wasn't the terrifyingly powerful Whitebeard either.

Instead, it was the Golden Lion before them, and the Flying Fleet he led.

It possesses top-tier combat power and a fleet consisting of dozens of large pirate ships.

Every ship has a captain who is famous throughout the New World.

Possessing the power of the Float-Float Fruit, they have unparalleled mobility and can wage war anytime, anywhere.

Furthermore, they harbor ambitions to dominate the world.

All of these factors made Golden Lion the Navy's number one enemy.

Although Roger and Whitebeard were powerful, they had no ambition to conquer the world.

No matter how strong he is, he cannot truly threaten the World Government and the Navy.

Even after Roger became the Pirate King, the World Government was only afraid that Roger would reveal that secret to the public.

The only ones who can truly pose a threat to the Navy and the World Government right now are Golden Lion and his pirate crew.

Therefore, the Navy knows the Golden Lion extremely well.

The Golden Lion, who could devour the world with his Conqueror's Haki Spirit alone and cause the Navy to lose most of its fighting power, was actually defeated by Zesi in terms of Haki!

" Zesi's Conqueror's Haki is very strong, but it's not enough to overwhelm Golden Lion. Is it Golden Lion's injuries that affected his spirit?" Sengoku said, frowning.

"Could it be because of that thing on his head?" Sengoku suddenly noticed the thing on the Golden Lion.

Upon closer inspection, isn't that half a ship's rudder?

At this moment, the Golden Lion's face showed a look of shame and anger.

Ignoring the suppression of his spirit, he swiftly charged towards Zesi.

"Hmph, if you want to fight, come with me!" At this moment Zesi moved, and an extremely powerful shockwave erupted. Zesi rushed towards the distant sky like a ghost.

"Don't even think about escaping!" The Golden Lion angrily chased after Zesi.

"A change of battlefield?" Sakazuki said calmly.

"This is the Brunei Family's stronghold. If we fight here, everything the Brunei Family has will be destroyed. It seems that Zesi values Brunei Family quite a bit!" Sengoku said.

This was good news for the Sengoku period.

As long as Zesi values Brunei Family, he will have something to fear in his heart.

I won't misuse the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

In the sky, two figures flew and intersected at high speed.

Their swords flashed and clashed incessantly.

The blades collided rapidly in the air, sparking bursts of sparks.

Zesi originally planned to choose a deserted island and fight the Golden Lion there.

But in the end, Zesi had no say in the matter.

If the Golden Lion hadn't been aware of Zesi's strength at the beginning, he might have leisurely and generously allowed Zesi to choose his battlefield.

But now, the Golden Lion has completely robbed Zesi of the freedom to choose his battlefield.

All he wants now is to kill Zesi.

The sky is the domain of those with the Devil Fruit User.

Shortly after leaving the island, the Golden Lion caught up with Zesi and Zesi in aerial combat.

Zesi's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability allows him to generate vibrations that propel him through the air at high speeds.

Compared to Geppo, Zesi moves much faster using shockwaves.

Therefore, he still has a certain advantage in aerial combat compared to ordinary people.

However, compared to the Float-Float Fruit of the Golden Lion, this is far inferior.

It's not about speed; if Zesi were to fly at full speed, his speed wouldn't necessarily be worse than that of the Float-Float Fruit.

However, aerial combat is not just about speed.

Flexibility, coordination, and control are often more important than speed.

In these aspects, Zesi's abilities are completely inferior to the Float-Float Fruit.

Therefore, in aerial combat, Zesi was completely dominated by the Golden Lion, and could only defend.

The worst thing wasn't even the disadvantage in air combat.

Worst of all, the knife in his hand was almost giving way.

The knife that Feiluo brought was actually quite good, but unfortunately it wasn't a top-tier Famous Sword.

Although Zesi was already being very careful to protect himself with Armament Haki,

However, the knife still couldn't withstand the damage from the high-frequency vibrations; the entire blade was riddled with wounds and could shatter at any moment.

Zesi knew this from the beginning.

Therefore, he had already made adjustments when Azure Dragon's Roar: Sword Draw in the first move.

This move was originally based on the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but he forcibly changed it to be based on Armament Haki.

Although its power was not weak, its effectiveness was slightly lacking; otherwise, the Golden Lion wouldn't have been able to break free so easily.

If he hadn't made that modification, the longsword would probably have shattered after the first move.

Even so, the knife still couldn't last long.

While Armament Haki can protect weapons, given Zesi's current level of Armament Haki, it's generally very difficult for anyone to harm the weapons protected by his Armament Haki.

However, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is rather special.

The vibration, with its propagating and penetrating properties, still managed to penetrate through Armament Haki and destroy the sword.

Furthermore, his unique Azure Dragon's Roar Sword Technique requires him to integrate the power of the Vibration Fruit into his sword, making it easier for him to damage blades.

Some things are best left unsaid; once you start talking about them, trouble will ensue.

Zesi had just been worried that the sword would break.

The next moment, his sword was shattered by the Golden Lion's blade.
