Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

He will not stop, but will continue to move in that direction until he achieves his goal!

This is not the limit of his strength. He has not yet completely "subdued" the Great Demon, and he has not yet awakened his Devil Fruit. He can become even stronger!

Lox smiled smugly: "To tell you something you might not know, my abilities have not yet awakened."

"I call this state the third stage of 'Illusionization,' but strictly speaking, it's only half-awakening!"

"..."

Hawkeye paused for two seconds, then narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your abilities haven't awakened yet? That's truly surprising and exciting!"

The opponent's Devil Fruit hasn't awakened yet?

If the other party develops their abilities to the point of awakening, how much greater will their strength increase?

Is there really such a monster in this world?

Really...

This is so exciting!

Hawkeye was surprised, but he did not feel fear, apprehension, or powerlessness.

On the contrary, they became even more excited and full of fighting spirit.

His goal is much stronger than I imagined, that's great!

Rocks raised an eyebrow: "..."

The swordsman's unwavering courage and fearlessness are perfectly embodied in Hawkeye...

With this will and belief, Hawkeye's strength will only grow stronger.

Rocks was genuinely looking forward to his next match with Hawkeye, but he was certain that he would win in the end.

His will and conviction are stronger than anyone else's in this world!

"I'll fight you again when I've developed my abilities to the point of awakening. I hope you won't be too discouraged by me then!"

"Hahaha, don't underestimate me, Rocks, this will only excite me more!"

"Then we'll fight again when the time comes. As for now..."

Lox chuckled, glancing up at the sky, and licked his lips. "A senior figure has come to join the fun. Let's see what he's up to..."

Who just dropped an island from the sky?

Not many people possess this ability.

A smile should be able to do that too.

However, what Rocks remembered most vividly was that legendary pirate.

The legendary pirate "Golden Lion" Shiki, who is on par with Whitebeard and Roger!

He was also a former member of the Rocks Pirates!

"Hehehe!!"

A loud, unruly laugh, like that of a mad lion, echoed from above the clouds.

Immediately afterwards, the clouds in the sky began to swirl like a vortex, as if torn and stretched by an invisible force.

Finally, it was torn open from the middle, revealing a "passage".

A figure descended from the "passage".

Golden hair cascaded down to his waist, a ship's wheel resembling a rooster's comb adorned his head, he wore a golden striped cloak, and his legs were replaced by two long swords...

"Golden Lion" Shiki!

Hovering high above and looking down, the Golden Lion's arrogant voice echoed across Broken Mountain Island: "This world shouldn't have forgotten me, the Golden Lion, should it?"

"If you forget me, the Golden Lion, then I'll have no choice but to let the ocean know how terrifying I am once again, hehehehe!!"

Although he didn't unleash Conqueror's Haki, Shiki's presence still instilled a strange sense of pressure in many people...

Because the title "Golden Lion" is so well-known to many people.

So much so that even though it's been a long time since I've heard it, hearing it again still sends chills down my spine!

Especially for some pirates who lived through that era, their eyes nearly popped out the moment they saw Golden Lion...

Is that legendary pirate still alive?

Chapter 252 Get out of here! Beat up the Golden Lion!

"Get off!"

Above the golden lion, a crack appeared in space.

Rocks took a step forward, his right arm muscles bulging, clenched into a fist, and his domineering black lightning pulsed incessantly.

One Bone Crushing Strike!

A punch landed, its force exploding.

Like Mount Tai pressing down, the impact expands in a fan shape, enveloping the golden lion in a terrifying fist force.

"Um!?"

Sensing the approaching danger, the golden lion's laughter abruptly stopped, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The shock vanished in an instant, and the golden lion's lips curled into a smug smile: "Lion's Might - Empty Scroll!!"

Golden Lion is a user of the Float-Float Fruit.

At this moment, he awakens his abilities and gains control over the surrounding airflow and atmosphere.

It transformed into a roaring lion king, howling as it charged forward, colliding fiercely with the terrifying force of the descending fist.

'Boom!'

It was as if a sun had been lit up in mid-air.

The light shone on the entire island.

Upon impact, the shockwave swept outwards, even shattering the clouds in the sky, with rings of air waves spreading outwards from the center of the collision.

'Boom boom boom...'

The stalemate lasted less than a second.

The lion king, formed from the condensation of air and airflow, shattered instantly and was forcibly defeated.

The terrifying force of the punch continued to surge down, finally striking the golden lion.

The golden lion felt excruciating pain throughout his body, as if his internal organs had shifted, and his bones were making a 'crackling' sound.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and was knocked down from mid-air.

The golden lion fell like a meteor, leaving a trail of golden light as it crashed heavily onto the ravaged earth!

'Boom!'

The force of the impact poured into the ground, creating a huge crater and causing the surrounding land to bulge out, forming small hills...

"..."

The room fell silent for a moment.

Everyone stared blankly at Rocks as he withdrew his fist, with only one thought in their minds.

So decisive?

From the moment the golden lion appeared and laughed arrogantly to the moment it was blasted down from the sky, only a few seconds had passed!

Seeing this, the white-bearded man burst into laughter: "Gulala, this kid is really decisive, he didn't even say hello..."

Without saying a word, he took action directly; this style of doing things is decisive and ruthless.

I won't tolerate you at all.

That punch was aimed at killing Golden Lion!

"Rocks has always seemed to be so decisive..."

Marco said awkwardly, "But how did that Golden Lion guy end up here? I thought he was dead. We haven't heard from him for many years, have we?"

After escaping from prison, Golden Lion also approached the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, he disappeared after that.

It's been almost twenty years since I heard from them. I never imagined they were still alive...

Whitebeard shook his head: "These old guys aren't so easy to kill."

Whitebeard spoke slowly, his tone tinged with emotion: "But what are you trying to do by jumping out now? With your current level, you can't possibly dominate this era..."

He's old, and so is the golden lion.

Don't be fooled by the golden lion's arrogant and domineering demeanor just now, like a lion king.

But compared to the past, the other party is now like a senile lion that has lost its "fangs".

The lion king, having lost its fangs, no longer has the means to reign supreme.

the other side.

Redhead clicked his tongue: "So, this old senior who disappeared for almost twenty years has also jumped out. Does he also want to stir up trouble in this era?"

The appearance of the golden lion surprised him somewhat.

Back when they were still apprentice crew members, the Roger Pirates almost lost to Shiki.

He vividly remembered the power of the Golden Lion.

Ben Beckman, puffing on his cigarette, said casually, "The rampage of the times has become uncontrollable; even some old monsters are starting to cause trouble..."

Redhead felt a headache coming on and muttered, "I wonder if I'll be able to wait until then..."

The Roger Pirates were all waiting.

Waiting for "that person" and "that opportunity" to appear.

Shanks has been working to stabilize the New World, waiting for the "right time" to arrive.
