Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

He had thoroughly memorized the Rox of this era.

But this matter is not over yet!

*Sizzle!*

A spatial rift opened, and Locus stepped out, giving chase to the Golden Lion.

Rocks blinked and closed the distance, gripping the Seven Star Sword in both hands, and fiercely thrust it forward.

Elbaf's Spear - Mighty Kingdom!

"Slash Wave - Lion King's Claw!"

The golden lion sensed something, quickly recovered, raised its right leg high like a bow, and unleashed a powerful horizontal slash.

Under the control of the Float-Float Fruit, the slashing attack transformed into the Lion King's claws, fiercely grabbing at the spiral shockwave!

'Boom!'

The attack collided, and a deafening roar resounded.

The shockwave swept back and struck the golden lion, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood with a "whoosh".

However, it uses this reaction force to fly backward at an even faster speed.

Only one arrogant and domineering voice rang out: "Hehehe, just wait for my revenge, you brat Rocks!"

Locus sneered: "You don't think you can escape so easily, do you?"

"Black Cryo Flash!"

Rocks raised the Seven Star Sword, his Observation Haki locking onto the golden lion, and black light condensed at the tip of the sword.

With a 'whoosh' sound, a black flash shot out, heading straight for the golden lion.

"It's no use!"

The golden lion sensed the attack and dodged it with a swift movement.

The Float Fruit allowed the Golden Lion to remain agile in mid-air, making it difficult for direct attacks to hit him...

Then Black Crimson Flash also changed its trajectory, changing direction and still firing at the Golden Lion!

After eating the Target Fruit, Rocks' attacks became targeted and controllable.

As long as the enemy is within the range of Observation Haki's perception, attacks can lock onto them like a shadow!

However, this only applies to the Blackwing Archdeacon's abilities; it cannot perform actions such as slashing or punching...

"what……"

The golden lion was surprised, swung its leg and unleashed a slashing wave, shattering the black void flash, and continued flying backward...

"I can play with you slowly, Golden Lion..."

"Thunderbolt, Cryo, Phantom Bullet..."

At this moment, Rocks unleashed all of the Great Demon's abilities, relentlessly pursuing the Golden Lion, determined not to give up until he had killed him.

'Boom! Boom! Boom!'

The golden lion gritted its teeth and shattered each of the pursuing attacks, its face extremely gloomy.

How did this guy's attack manage to pinpoint his location?

'No way, if this continues I'll be dragged down. Is this guy really that difficult to deal with?'

The Golden Lion is feeling somewhat panicked right now.

We underestimated this guy!

Is it possible that such abilities are so difficult to overcome?

"You can't stop me!"

A mad glint appeared in the golden lion's eyes. Gritting his teeth, he grabbed forward with both hands: "You don't want your companions to die here, do you?"

'Om! '

The broken island controlled by the golden lion began to slowly rise into the air, and then began to crack and collapse.

The large areas of soil and rocks are under the control of the golden lion.

With the power of the Float-Float Fruit, it transformed into a giant lion king and crashed headlong into the central "stage".

If it crashes into it, the island will collapse, and people near the "stage" will suffer heavy casualties!

"If you can kill them, that's your skill."

Lockes didn't take it seriously.

Who is on Broken Mountain Island now?

Redhead F, Whitebeard F, and his companions.

These "petty tricks" are unlikely to pose a significant threat to these individuals...

'Om! '

Issho, who was near the "stage," made his move. His ability awakened, and a gravitational field spread out from his body.

The island, which had been floating, began to descend under the "dragging" force of gravity, and eventually fell back onto the sea surface.

Floating and gravity—these two Devil Fruits share some similarities.

The Float Fruit can make islands float and fly, while the Gravity Fruit can make islands land again.

In terms of pressure, the Gravity Fruit is clearly superior.

Even with the Golden Lion's full power, he couldn't make the island fly again thanks to Ikko's abilities...

The others also made their move.

The red-haired man wielded the Griffin and unleashed a sharp slash, its powerful strike accompanied by flashes of lightning. He deftly dodged and cleared a path, the powerful blow striking the oncoming giant lion king. With a 'sizzle' sound, the lion king was severed in two at the waist…

The white-bearded man swung his hammer, cracking the space around him. The massive shockwave swept across, shattering the lion king, who had been split in two, into dust...

Damn it!

The golden lion gritted its teeth.

Leaving aside the red-haired brat and the white-bearded man, there's also a powerful ability user on that island.

It actually overwhelmed his Float-Float Fruit ability...

He lost "control" over the island!

'Boom boom boom...'

Rocks' attack came again, and the Golden Lion had no choice but to take action, unleashing his abilities and slashes one after another.

It withstood a barrage of attacks...

"You can't escape, Golden Lion!"

Lox continued his relentless attacks, unleashing a barrage of various powerful demonic techniques, transforming the creature into a magical artillery platform that relentlessly bombarded the golden lion with energy attacks.

The golden lion struck again, shattering the incoming attack.

After a chase, the two had already left the nearby waters...

"Damn bastard!"

The golden lion started to panic.

His strength was waning, and if he couldn't shake off his opponent soon, he would die here...

What's going on with this guy?

In his time, when one side chose to back down, the other side generally wouldn't continue to pursue.

Because the party that backed down has already lost face...

Both are renowned and powerful figures on the high seas. For one side to lose face is already a major blow, so the other side will likely choose to back down...

However, the Golden Lion forgot one thing: the reason why the other side did not continue to pursue after he retreated was because... if they really fought to the bitter end, the casualties on both sides would increase.

For the sake of their companions' lives, abandoning the pursuit is the best option.

But the situation is not like that now...

'Boom!!'

The overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, as powerful as a demon, pressed down on the Golden Lion, causing his movements to freeze for a moment.

In that instant of stiffness, all sorts of attacks surged towards the golden lion like a tidal wave!

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

If the Lion King is driven to the brink of despair, he will launch a final counterattack, and the golden lion will roar out of its mouth.

His eyes turned ferocious and murderous...

'Boom!'

A domineering aura, like that of a lion king, swept out from the golden lion, shaking the surrounding air.

'Boom boom boom...'

The Golden Lion unleashed the full power of the Float-Float Fruit, stirring up the surrounding air to create turbulence. His body was like the eye of a storm, and the howling air currents blocked all attacks.

The dense explosions reverberated in all directions.

"Don't think I'm afraid of you, Rocks. If you want my life, then gamble with yours!"

Golden hair danced behind the golden lion, its eyes fierce and cold.

With a 'snap', he removed the cherry blossoms and wood embedded in his legs, and blood flowed freely from his legs.

The golden lion gripped a blood-stained sword in one hand, and his aura shifted.

Sharp and deadly!

This is the sword stance of a swordsman!

Even though his legs could unleash the powerful strikes of a great swordsman, he still couldn't fully unleash the potential of swordsmanship.

A swordsman can only unleash his true power when he wields the sword with both hands!

Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, so the golden lion certainly wouldn't sit idly by and wait to be killed.

Then let's fight to the bitter end!

It's still uncertain who will live and who will die!

"Hey, this is more fun..."

Rocks smirked, his Seven Star Sword pointing directly at the Golden Lion: "Since you've chosen to target me, you'll have to pay the price..."

'Boom! Crack!'

The Conqueror's Haki clashed, purple-black lightning flashed in the sky, and the battle between the two powerful figures erupted at this moment...

The battle was incredibly fierce, but the Golden Lion, unable to wield his Haki freely, was no match for Rocks.

After only a hundred or so collisions, the golden lion was subdued...

'Sizzle! Sizzle!'

Both were struck by each other, their bodies covered in gushing blood, and they were both thrown back, suspended in mid-air...

In an instant, Locke's injuries were completely healed, and he was unharmed, with his aura not weakening much.

On the other side, the golden lion's face was deathly pale, as if it had lost too much blood, but its aura remained arrogant, and its eyes were like those of a desperate lion king ready to devour its prey.

"We've come this far, aren't you going to rip that rooster comb off your head?" Locke said calmly.

"That half-baked domineering aura is too weak; I'm starting to lose interest..."

"..."

The golden lion was silent for a moment, then grinned, revealing a crazed expression: "Since that's how it is, then so be it..."

Release the cherry blossoms, and the golden lion grabs the ship's rudder above its head with its right hand.

Just as the golden lion was about to pull the rudder off its head, sacrificing its life for maximum power...

'Boom!'
