Seeing that the massive block of ice he had controlled was shattered by Uya's single stomp, even the Golden Lion couldn't help but show a hint of shock.
Although ice is fragile, the fact that such a massive block of ice could be shattered with a single, light step demonstrates a force that is by no means ordinary!
No wonder he was able to defeat Whitebeard.
Golden Lion was a meticulous person. The reason he suddenly came out to cause trouble was twofold: first, he felt embarrassed to see Whitebeard, who was from the same era as him, lose to Uya; second, he felt that he could completely gain the upper hand with the Float-Float Fruit.
As for the third point, that is... he is also a legendary pirate, how could he possibly have such feelings of fear? Even when he invaded the Marine Headquarters alone and faced the entire Marine Headquarters head-on, he was never afraid!
However, seeing Uya shatter the massive ice floe with her foot, the Golden Lion was finally shaken.
The ice shattered, Whitebeard Pirates all fell into the sea below, but no one paid them any attention.
However, the warship behind Uya remained suspended in the air, as if it were floating in the air by Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit ability. But only Golden Lion himself knew that the warship was not levitated by his power, but by Uya's power.
Even Uya herself was suspended in the air, with ice shattered into powder beneath her feet, yet Uya showed no sign of falling, as if she too were a user of the Float -Uya Float-Float Fruit.
"Lion... Thousand Cut Valley!!"
Golden Lion Shiki finally dared not be careless any longer. With a low shout, he Setsuna swept his legs towards Uya, unleashing several magnificent sword energies that blotted out the sky and fell towards Uya.
Despite losing his legs, Golden Lion, a legendary pirate, still possesses swordsmanship that places him firmly at the level of a great swordsman!
However, when faced with the sword energy unleashed by the Golden Lion, Uya showed no interest in using swordsmanship to counter it, instead simply flicking his finger indifferently.
Bang!!
Those golden sword energies were all frozen in mid-air with Uya's gentle flick of his finger, shattering inch by inch before exploding with a deafening roar.
The Whitebeard Pirates, along with Whitebeard himself, landed in the sea below. Although the sea was turbulent, many ships had been pushed there by the waves, making it a perfect spot for them to land.
But at this moment, almost no one paid attention to the Whitebeard Pirates; everyone was looking up at the sky through the countless shards of ice.
These ice shards did not scatter; as long as they were covered by Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit ability, they would remain floating in the air unless Golden Lion dispelled the ability or could no longer maintain it.
The ice was too loose and fragmented to stand on, except for Uya and Golden Lion, who had the ability to fly, who remained suspended on it.
Looking at the sky through the tiny ice fragments, you can vaguely see the figures of Uya and Golden Lion, which appear dreamlike due to the changing light!
Battle in the sky!
Such a battle was something even the Navy Admirals had almost never seen before; it was so rare that everyone was completely absorbed in it, all looking up at the sky.
Even some of the Whitebeard Pirates, who were falling downwards, forgot that they were still falling and looked up at the sky.
"Are these gods fighting?!"
Someone watched this scene, muttering in a daze.
If the battle between Uya and Whitebeard was breathtaking, then the battle with Golden Lion floating in the sky was so immersive that it left one's mind completely blank.
Above the heavens.
After shattering the Golden Lion's sword energy with a flick of his finger, Uya revealed a slight hint of mockery and said, "Is this the terror you speak of? But it's no different from a child's toy."
The moment the words fell, Uya flicked away the sword energy, but instead of retracting his hand, he continued to flick his finger at the Golden Lion.
laugh!!
With just a simple flick of the finger, a magnificent sword aura, radiating dazzling white light, shot out in Setsuna, sweeping across the Golden Lion.
This sword energy was extremely vast, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the sky, moving with incredible speed, and arrived in front of the Golden Lion in Setsuna.
"Not good!!"
The Golden Lion was startled, realizing it was too late to dodge, and could only sweep his legs out to try and block the sword energy.
The Golden Lion's legs were like two swords. With a sweep, sword energy crisscrossed, and a cross-shaped sword energy suddenly burst out, meeting the sword energy pointed out by Uya.
However, the collision of the two sword energies was like an egg hitting a rock.
Uya's sword energy, like a devastating force, shattered the Golden Lion's sword energy in one blow, and without pausing for even a moment, continued to attack the Golden Lion.
At this moment, the Golden Lion finally revealed a hint of horror.
First, he never expected that Uya could shatter his sword energy with a flick of his finger. Second, he never expected that Uya could flick such terrifying sword energy with his finger. This level of swordsmanship was almost unbelievably high. Even he couldn't do this.
Finally, the sword energy that Uya flicked with his finger was so terrifying that even with his full strength, he was unable to defend against it!
Faced with this sword energy, the Golden Lion had no time to dodge.
Armed!!
With a low shout, Golden Lion suddenly used Armament Haki. As a legendary pirate, he naturally couldn't be Haki. Like Whitebeard, Golden Lion was proficient in all three types of Haki.
In an instant, Golden Lion's entire body was covered in jet-black Armament Haki Armament Haki, as were his two swords that served as his legs, Kogarashi and Oto.
At that very moment, Uya's sword energy finally arrived.
The magnificent sword energy first struck the Golden Lion's legs, which were stacked in a cross shape—the two famous swords, Kogarashi and Oto —and produced a hissing sound like gears grinding together.
After Uya entered the realm of a great swordsman and comprehended the profound meaning of slash, his control over sword energy became almost divine. Although he had recovered less than 10% of his strength, the sword energy he released with a flick of his finger was even more terrifying than Hawk-Eye's full-force slash!
This sword energy had completely solidified, resembling a magnificent and dazzling white meteor sword slicing through the sky.
Sizzle!!
Golden Lion gritted his teeth, trying to suppress Uya's sword energy, but almost in an instant, his two swords, covered in Armament Haki, showed signs of shattering under the sharpness of Uya's sword energy!
The power of this sword energy far exceeded Golden Lion's expectations, and a look of horror finally appeared on his face.
However, by this point, even if he wanted to back out, it was already impossible.
Uya's sword energy gradually pierced into his two swords, forcefully cleaving them in two. Then, like a streak of white light, it could no longer be contained, flashing past his body in Setsuna before soaring into the sky. (To be continued.)
