If this guy stays any longer, he'll definitely die!

But at that very moment, beams of dazzling laser light shot out from below.

The Golden Lion displayed astonishing agility, licking blood from the tip of his blade as he forcefully passed through the gaps in the laser beams, instantly creating a significant distance between himself and the enemy.

A red light gleamed in his eyes!

But the next moment, the Golden Lion's expression stiffened, and without any hesitation, he turned and flew towards the higher sky.

Almost at the same moment he turned, light condensed into the shape of Kizaru in the sky ahead.

"Oh, is this... the Observation Haki Future Sight Haki?"

Kizaru looked up in surprise at Golden Lion's ever-growing figure.

It had already turned around before he even flashed over; there seems to be no other explanation besides Future Sight.

However, it's still too slow.

Kizaru's body turned into light once more.

"Asshole!"

The Golden Lion was practically gritting its teeth.

After being thoroughly humiliated by that kid who manipulated illusions last time, he decided to focus his rehabilitation efforts on developing his Observation Haki.

So very quickly, his Observation Haki had recovered to the point where he Future Sight.

But Future Sight is completely useless now!

They're nowhere near as fast as that yellow monkey!

There's no way they can escape!

Moreover, the enemy's fighting strength is too great; if we delay even slightly, we will be surrounded!

What the hell should we do?

The Golden Lion could only fly downwards again, seeking a chance to escape.

But at that very moment, Naito launched himself forward.

"You brat!"

The Golden Lion was so angry at the sight of Naito that he gritted his teeth.

The day he returned to the sea should have brought fear to the whole world!

But he was utterly defeated by this brat and forced to flee in a sorry state, losing all face!

Wasn't last time enough, kid? You want to act arrogantly in front of me again? You've really got too big for your britches!

I have regained the power to glimpse the future. It's just that there are too many people on your side right now, otherwise I would have made you suffer a terrible death!

The Golden Lion thought to himself.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into his mind.

It will be difficult to get rid of Kizaru's entanglement.

But if we take this kid hostage, wouldn't we have a chance to escape?

Is this kid a future star of the Navy?

Will those two bastards Kizaru and Zephyr, just stand by and watch him die?

The Golden Lion's lips curled into a smile instantly.

Come on, kid! Let's go!

A red light flickered in his eyes.

Almost simultaneously, countless phantoms swept in from all directions.

"Naito! Watch out!"

Kizaru, appearing as a beam of light, loudly proclaimed, "Golden Lion can now see the future!"

Upon hearing this, Zephyr, who was flanking from another direction, also changed his expression slightly. "Naito! Don't be impulsive!"

Naito's illusions are indeed powerful, even capable of deceiving with Observation Haki, but it's a different story when facing an opponent who can see the future!

As if he hadn't heard Kizaru and Zephyr's words at all, countless phantoms had already surrounded Golden Lion.

The Golden Lion's smile grew even more unrestrained.

This scene looks so familiar!

But this time, it's different!

The Golden Lion's eyes were wide open, flashing red light, and a vision of the future immediately appeared before them.

At that very moment, phantom images began to appear around the Golden Lion's body.

However, it was not Naito's phantom clone.

Instead—

"What?"

The Golden Lion was greatly surprised, "Is it Lao Tzu's clone?"

These phantoms surrounding the Golden Lion were exactly like him, even their expressions of astonishment were almost identical.

What happened?

What is this kid doing?

It wasn't over yet. The phantoms of the Golden Lion shrank and merged with the bodies of the Golden Lion. Then, they began to be beaten by Naito's phantoms coming from all directions.

Attacked from all directions, they were forced into various poses and expressions.

The Golden Lion was completely bewildered.

What exactly is going on?

His expression suddenly changed.

"What?"

The Golden Lion exclaimed in disbelief.

He saw the future.

But what I see are futures where he will be beaten!

The Golden Lion so powerful that it's impossible to tell which of the beaten characters is the real one!

How could such a thing happen!

Boom!

At the same time as the shock, a sharp pain shot through my back.

Wow!

The Golden Lion let out a miserable roar as its body plummeted like a meteorite, crashing heavily onto the island below. The entire island trembled violently, and dust billowed up everywhere.

The phantom in the sky vanished instantly, Naito treaded on the air to keep himself afloat.

"Naito?"

Kizaru appeared beside Naito in an instant, this time with genuine astonishment in his eyes. "How did you do that?"

He's not the only one who can see the future.

Naito said calmly.

Observation Haki Future Sight, essentially means seeing future scenes and hearing future sounds.

Even what one sees and hears is not from a first-person perspective, but from a third-person perspective, which reflects everything within the range of Observation Haki.

Therefore, all that is needed is to create phantom clones of the Golden Lion himself, so that he can see himself being beaten up from various angles in the future.

These clones possess the same aura as the Golden Lion, react in the same way as him, and almost overlap with him.

Therefore, the Golden Lion could not distinguish between truth and falsehood from everything he saw and heard.

Breaking the Observation Haki Future Sight is that simple.

Of course, this is all predicated on Naito himself being able to Future Sight; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to perfectly simulate the perspective he would see when he foresaw the Future Sight.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Kizaru exclaimed in genuine amazement.

Teacher Zephyr also said that Naito's abilities were somewhat holding him back.

But looking at it now, this ability is simply astonishing!

Even Observation Haki with Future Sight can no longer distinguish Naito's illusions!

Who can still find Naito amidst this sea of illusions?

At least Kizaru himself felt he couldn't do it.

Well, unless you use a large-scale attack with extremely high density.

"Forehead!"

The Golden Lion clutched his back and stood up, looking completely bewildered.

What's wrong with that kid? Even his Observation Haki, which Future Sight, can't do anything about him?

But his anger ended there.

"Your time has come, Golden Lion!"

Zephyr landed in front of him.

The Golden Lion's eye twitched.

From the left and slightly behind, light converged, and Kizaru revealed his true form.

From the sky, Naito silently looked down at him.

The only place that's empty is—

"Oh, looks like I finally made it!"

Yellow sand swept up from the lower side of the island, and figures landed to the right and diagonally behind the Golden Lion.

Hawk-Eyes, sword in hand, smirked arrogantly, "Golden Lion Shiki, let me see this sword from the last era!"

"..."

The Golden Lion's pupils constricted.

There's nowhere to run!
