Boom!
The Golden Lion's slash came crashing down on Bai Yu.
An attack so close at hand leaves no room for evasion.
No!
It should be said that at that moment, Bai Yu had absolutely no intention of dodging.
The jet-black Armament Haki spread out from his shoulders in an instant.
The Demon Sword Murasame in his hand had already unleashed its strongest light, and it slashed down at the Golden Lion.
Fight to the death!
This is a fighting style like that of a madman.
As a top powerhouse of the old era, Golden Lion's pupils suddenly contracted. Without having time to think, he also pushed his Armament Haki to its limit.
Boom!
Two blades of energy slashed at each other.
The immense impact sent the two flying backward instantly.
They crashed into a large rocky mountain, shattering it before abruptly coming to a stop.
A trickle of blood seeped from Bai Yu's shoulder, and Ikkaku his Demon-Modified Training Suit was torn.
The Golden Lion in the distance was equally disheveled, its long, wavy golden hair spread out like a hedgehog.
A bloody gash seeped through the clothes.
Armament Haki can indeed enhance a person's defense.
However, when the force of an attack exceeds the force of a defense, it will also cause damage.
In the original work, Sanji nearly suffered a broken bone when he clashed with Vergo, and that was for this reason.
"Kid, you really are Garp's grandson."
"No, I should say that you fight even more ferociously than Garp. I, Golden Lion, am willing to crown you as the strongest rookie of our time!"
The Golden Lion glanced at the wound on his shoulder and burst into arrogant laughter.
"However, kid, if this is all the strength you've achieved, then you're destined to lose today!"
"I am the admiral of the Flying Pirates, Devil Fruit User!"
The rolling sound, like thunder, resounded through the sky.
The ferocious Devil Fruit power instantly enveloped the entire area.
Even the flowing air seemed to freeze in that instant.
Bai Yu let out a deep breath, casually pulled out a bottle of strong liquor, and downed it in one gulp.
With a sudden burst of force from his five fingers, the bottle shattered.
The Demon-Modified Training Suit he was wearing was ripped off behind his back.
Bang!
The clothes crashed to the ground, their weight of 600 pounds causing the earth to shatter.
As the sandstorm swirled around him, the Spiritual Pressure that had been constantly being devoured surged back towards Bai Yu in an instant.
"Ding! Congratulations, host! Character unlock progress has reached 25%..."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have unlocked Spiritual Pressure Materialization!"
A clear, ethereal notification sounded, Bai Yu's Spiritual Pressure instantly surged to its peak under the dual-tube impact.
Facing the legendary, top-tier powerhouse, the Golden Lion.
This kind of intense and unrestrained battle, where even the blood seems to be burning, undoubtedly brought out the full potential of Kenpachi Zaraki's persona.
Boom!
Golden Spiritual Pressure pierced through heaven and earth.
The clouds that had been pressing down on the sky were torn apart in response.
The earth beneath their feet seemed unable to withstand this immense force, and it tore apart like a spider web.
The world that was originally affected by the Float-Float Fruit's power was instantly thrown into chaos.
"Was that a weighted outer garment?"
"Such powerful Conqueror's Haki! It can actually cause real damage. In this era, probably only that brat Red-Haired could do that. I didn't expect the Navy to produce a kid with the potential to be a king. Those guys from Sengoku, are they planning to train him to be a king?"
The Golden Lion froze, a look of shock on his face.
However, this moment of shock lasted only a moment before his aura instantly surged to its peak.
"Kid, it seems I underestimated you. But I am the overlord of the old era, not someone a mere brat like you can compare to!"
" Lion: Thousand-Cut Valley!"
Boom!
A hundred-meter-long blade of energy suddenly slashed out.
The moment the air was torn apart, it shot straight through Bai Yu.
Sensing this sharp aura, Bai Yu's face also broke into a cruel and bloodthirsty smile.
If I had to find an adjective to describe this moment...
He is no longer human; he is a living, breathing War Demon!
Bang!
A flash of golden light, and a hundred-meter-long blade of energy slashed out from Bai Yu's hand!
The two strikes were equally powerful, colliding with a deafening roar.
Boom!
The explosive storm was like a Category 12 hurricane.
Everything around them crumbled to pieces.
The Golden Lion, suspended in the void, suddenly grabbed at the air with its massive hand, instantly stirring up the floating rock ruins.
"Lion's Might - Empty Scroll!"
roar!
A hundred-meter-long lion instantly materialized, the Roar, and pounced towards Bai Yu.
Bai Yu took a large step forward and swung his knife in a backhand strike.
Boom!
The 100-meter-long lion exploded instantly.
The arrogant face of the Golden Lion was once again in sight.
However, this time the Golden Lion clearly had no intention of giving Bai Yu a chance to breathe. His legs, Oto and Kogarashi, unleashed a series of sword energies.
At the same time, the rocks that were swirling in the air seemed to come alive in an instant.
"Lion Power·Empty Scroll·Dance of Lions!"
roar!
Hundreds of lion heads erupted with a deafening the Roar.
Accompanied by a sky full of sword energy, it charged and attacked Bai Yu.
In an instant, it felt as if the sky had collapsed, crushing everything upon us.
Boom!
The barrage of slashes collided violently with the lion's head.
Seeing Bai Yu instantly blocked, a hint of joy appeared on Golden Lion's arrogant face.
The next moment, a golden light pierced through the ruins and burst forth.
Before the Golden Lion could react, thousands of streaks of blood-red light exploded out like fireworks.
A figure shrouded in a golden skull forcefully broke free.
Before the Golden Lion could react...
They had already gotten there first and arrived in front of him.
The blood-red fragments flying everywhere gathered once again in Bai Yu's hand to form the Demon Sword Murasame.
Without a single fancy move, it cleaved straight at you once more!
" Devil Fruit ability?"
Golden Lion's expression froze for a moment, then he suddenly kicked out Oto and the Kogarashi beneath his feet.
Unfortunately, at the moment the two swords clashed, the Demon Sword Murasame, which possessed the attribute of the Thousand Demon Daggers, shattered into pieces.
After overcoming the collision, they reunited and slashed down at the Golden Lion.
Boom!
Golden light burst forth, and the extreme Spiritual Pressure, upon materialization, increased several times over in both speed and power.
If measured by the standards of this world...
This is like a Bleach version of Armament Haki!
The Armament Haki Golden Lion hastily unleashed was torn apart instantly.
With a tremendous impact, amidst splattering blood, he crashed headfirst into the floating Sky Island below.
Bang!
The earth shook violently, and the thick rock floor collapsed.
Centered on the Golden Lion, a deep crater was smashed into it.
Amidst the swirling sand and dust, Bai Yu's Observation Haki locked onto the Golden Lion once more.
A burst of arrogant laughter echoed through the ruins.
"Hmph, that's quite a thrill. It's been a long time since I've tasted this kind of death, since my deadly battle with Roger."
"Kid, you really are something else. It seems my judgment was right after all!"
