Chapter 188
But I don't know where it came from!
One after another, phantoms surrounded him, and attacks rained down like a storm.
Each phantom Golden Lion swung its sword to meet the attack, and with each attack, the Golden Lion was covered in Haki to defend itself.
But time and time again, it was all in vain, a series of falsehoods.
"Drink!"
Finally, the powerful punch slammed into the Golden Lion's back.
Even though Golden Lion had been using both types of Haki to defend his entire body, he was still knocked forward by this punch, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
There's no way around it; even with the strength of Golden Lion's Haki, once he disperses Haki throughout his body for defense, the defensive power of a single point will decrease dramatically.
"Gotcha! You brat!"
The Golden Lion's eyes were bloodshot, and its body suddenly spun around, bringing its right leg to a horizontal slash.
But it was at this very moment...
"Drink!"
The air was suddenly torn apart by the sharp blade, and a violent slash came swiftly, heading straight for the Golden Lion's lower back.
The Golden Lion's brow twitched.
And this brat!
But don't underestimate me!
Although it looks somewhat comical, at that moment, the Golden Lion did indeed suddenly do a split in mid-air.
One blade slashed at the unseen Naito, while another blade met Gion's attack.
When!
When!
Two loud bangs followed, and a hurricane suddenly rose in the air.
Even when facing two opponents, Gion was still sent flying backward by Golden Lion's attack.
But the Golden Lion had no desire to pursue at all.
Because Naito has once again merged into the myriad of clones.
"Damn brat!"
The Golden Lion gritted its teeth.
How could someone possess such a disgusting ability?
However, you're dreaming if you think you can defeat me with just this kind of move!
"Stand up!"
Below, the island controlled by the Golden Lion began to tremble violently.
Large chunks of rock and brick shattered into tiny pebbles, which were then suddenly launched into the air.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Naito delivered another flying kick, striking the Golden Lion squarely in the chest, sending him flying backward and spitting blood.
However, a massive amount of rubble had already risen into the air, filling the entire sky.
"I'll see how you try to hide now!"
Golden Lion wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealing a sinister grin, "Lion's Might: Imperial Earth Bind!"
The loose rocks began to Flow, creating a sandstorm that swept across the sky.
The rapidly Flow gravel was like bullets, constantly piercing through the bodies of one after another phantom.
The next moment, that little devil hiding his head and tail will reveal his true form.
"Huh??"
The Golden Lion opened its eyes wide in bewilderment, "How could this be!"
Why!
Why can't those pebbles touch that brat?!
Has he really disappeared?
The answer is Kami-e plus the Life Return.
Naito used his ultimate body control to turn his body into a thin line, moving and weaving through the air like a snake.
Even amidst such dense rubble, it was difficult to touch him.
Even while the Golden Lion was momentarily stunned, Naito had already closed in again.
"Serious Punch!"
A fist, Coating with powerful and Haki, slammed heavily into the Golden Lion's face.
"Ugh!"
The Golden Lion had several teeth knocked out, and his mind went blank for a moment before his body suddenly plummeted downwards.
"Well done, Naito!"
Gion seized the opportunity perfectly, his sharp sword piercing straight into the Golden Lion's back.
But at that very moment, the falling Golden Lion suddenly widened its eyes.
If I can't find that brat, I'll just take care of this brat first!
The Golden Lion's body suddenly spun in mid-air, facing directly at Gion's blade.
At the same time, the rapidly spinning pebbles converged and transformed into a giant hand that grabbed Gion's slender waist.
"Not good!"
Gion's expression changed drastically.
The Famous Sword, Kogarashi, was already enveloped in a dual-colored Haki, tearing through the air as it arrived.
Gion could only parry with his sword.
Accompanied by a burst of Haki electric arcs, Gion felt a violent tremor in her hands, almost causing her to lose her grip on the sword.
My body was falling uncontrollably.
But they couldn't create any distance at all; the large, rocky hand gripping her lifted her body upwards once more.
The Golden Lion is already within sight.
"Go to hell, you brat!"
The sword blade cleaved downwards.
Gion gritted her teeth and could only manage a difficult parry with her sword.
In a hasty retreat, the blade was kicked away by the Golden Lion, and the long sword embedded in the man's left foot slashed horizontally.
Gion could only watch as the sword drew ever closer.
It was too late to defend against it.
You clearly said you wouldn't hold Little Naito back, but are you still failing to do so?
"When!"
The long sword that was about to sever Gion's slender neck was kicked away.
"Got you!"
The Golden Lion laughed wildly as it retracted its right leg and thrust forward fiercely.
Naito's expression remained unchanged. He gripped Gion's shoulder with one hand and gathered his Haki in the other, punching the tip of the blade that was thrusting towards him.
This time, Golden Lion wasn't just passively defending; he concentrated all his Haki on the tip of his blade.
Even with Naito channeling enough of his Haki, he still couldn't withstand the sharp edge of the sword.
A sharp pain shot through his fist as the sword's edge pierced it.
Naito remained unfazed, and even used the immense force transmitted from the blade to quickly create distance.
"Hehehehe! I've found your weakness!"
The Golden Lion laughed loudly as it gave chase.
This guy can't create illusions of other people, or rather, other people's illusions can be detected by Observation Haki!
"Naito!"
Gion, whose shoulder was being gripped by Naito, couldn't help but gasp in surprise as she saw blood flowing down Naito's hand.
"Let me go! Don't worry about me!"
Gion exclaimed in shock.
She realized that if it were just one person, Naito, with his abilities, wouldn't be afraid of the Golden Lion at all.
But if you bring her along, the situation changes completely.
"Shut up."
Naito said coldly, "Those who are being protected don't need to waste words."
Gion opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Naito has made his decision; any further words from her would only betray Naito resolve.
Even in this life-or-death moment, Gion couldn't help but glance at Naito one more time.
No wonder Ain would--
"Hahahaha! Die!"
The Golden Lion has already given chase.
In terms of speed of flight alone, Golden Lion, who possesses the Float-Float Fruit, is far superior to the two who are using Geppo.
The Golden Lion swung its twin swords down simultaneously.
Naito and Gion each blocked one of the attacks.
With Haki force, the two were repelled once again.
"So what should we do now, Naito!"
Gion shouted, "She doesn't call Little Naito anymore!"
"It's simple, since our current capabilities are insufficient!"
Naito said, "Let's take it a step further!"
"Ah?"
Gion blinked blankly.
