One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Shiki the Golden Lion!

His long golden hair danced wildly in the night wind, like a lion's mane.

A cigar dangled from his mouth, its red embers flickering in the darkness.

Despite having a strange ship's wheel stuck on its head, its imposing presence remained undiminished.

"navy--!!!"

A thunderous roar echoed through the night sky, clearly audible even from ten kilometers away.

"Roger—how could you have captured a guy like Roger?!"

The Navy Headquarters was instantly thrown into chaos.

The piercing alarm ripped through the night sky, and all the searchlights in the harbor turned simultaneously.

The beam of light converged on the golden lion.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"It's Shiki the Golden Lion! The admiral of the Flying Pirates!"

"Open fire! Don't let him get near headquarters!"

The port's forts opened fire simultaneously, sending dozens of shells streaking into the sky.

But Golden Lion didn't even dodge; Sakura Ten beneath his feet simply swung his sword lightly—

brush!

An invisible slash spread out, and all the shells were neatly cut in half in mid-air, falling silent.

"A mere trick!" the golden lion laughed wildly and continued charging forward.

The fortress's defensive cannons began to roar, and a dense barrage of bullets formed a deadly net.

But the Golden Lion darted through the air like a fish, sometimes rising and sometimes diving, easily dodging all the cannonballs.

"Lunar foot troops! Scramble to intercept!" a naval admiral roared.

Dozens of naval officers proficient in Moonwalk soared into the sky and surrounded Golden Lion from all directions.

But the Golden Lion merely glanced at it disdainfully, then flicked his withered wooden sword—

"Slashing Waves - Thousand Cut Valley!"

Dozens of golden slashes spread out in a fan shape, each several tens of meters long.

The naval officers managed to harden their armor with Armament Haki, but more than half of them were still cut down and fell from the sky screaming in agony.

"Bring Garp and Sengoku out!"

The golden lion hovered directly in front of the headquarters building, its roar like thunder.

"Both of you, come at me! I'm taking Roger away today!"

On the top floor of the building, the window of the marshal's office was open.

Steel Bone stood by the window, his face ashen.

"Ski, do you know what you're doing? Attack!"

"Naval Headquarters, this is a declaration of war against the World Government!"

"Declare war? Heh heh heh!"

The golden lion burst into laughter.

"I've wanted to do this for a long time!"

World Government? Celestial Dragons? A bunch of useless trash!

Hand over Roger, or I'll tear Marineford apart today!

"Arrogance!" Steelbone roared. "All officers, engage the enemy with full force!"

More naval powerhouses took to the skies.

Lieutenant generals rushed out of the building, and major generals arrived from all directions.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people had gathered around the golden lion.

But the golden lion's expression remained arrogant, even excited.

"That's all the people? Not enough! Far from enough!"

He raised his hands as if to strike, and then swung his long swords.

"Lion Valley!"

This time, the slash was no longer fan-shaped, but rather like a blooming flower, bursting forth from every angle!

The golden slashes were dense and numerous, each one powerful enough to slice through a warship!

"Iron block!"

"Armament Haki Hardening!"

"Storm Kick Defense!"

The naval officers used various methods, but more than twenty people were still killed.

Blood bloomed in the air, accompanied by screams and roars.

"Damn it..."

Steel skeleton clenching its teeth

"Sengoku! Garp!"

"They're here!"

Two figures shot into the sky from both sides of the building.

On the left, the Warring States period, transformed into a golden Buddha, slammed its palm, accompanied by a shockwave, towards the golden lion.

"Shiki! Stop!"

From the right, Garp flew through the air, his fists covered in jet-black Armament Haki, even wreathed in dark red Conqueror's Haki lightning.

"Golden Lion! You're asking for it!"

The simultaneous attack by two of the navy's top combatants was so powerful it shook the heavens and earth.

The golden lion, instead of being surprised, laughed and said, "Well done!"

Sakura Ju and Kuki crossed their attacks to parry Sengoku's palm strike. Boom—! The shockwave exploded, sending the Golden Lion flying back dozens of meters, but he quickly regained his footing.

At the same time, he thrust his sword at Garp with a backhand motion, the tip of the sword colliding with his fist—

clang--!!!

The deafening clang of metal striking metal echoed throughout Marineford, shattering the windows of nearby buildings with its sound waves.

The three separated immediately upon contact and then engaged in a frenzied battle in mid-air.

Each of Zhan Guo's palm strikes carried a devastating impact, and the phantom of a golden Buddha appeared behind him, its solemnity concealing terrifying power.

His attacks were wide and sweeping, forcing the Golden Lion to confront him head-on.

Garp's punches were faster and more powerful. There were no fancy techniques, just the purest combination of physical skills and Haki.

Each punch carried the power to shatter mountains, the wind from the punches tearing through the air and emitting a piercing shriek.

The Golden Lion, fighting two opponents at once, held his own!

His swordsmanship was both ferocious and exquisite; Sakura and the withered tree were like an extension of his body.

Slashes, thrusts, parries, counterattacks... the moves flowed seamlessly together.

"The power of the Float-Float Fruit allows him to completely ignore gravity..."

Roy squinted from high in the sky.

"While Sengoku and Garp can use Moonwalk to stay airborne, their agility is significantly lacking."

"But with those two working together, the Golden Lion won't last long."

Hawkeye commented,

"In terms of swordsmanship, Golden Lion has indeed reached the level of a great swordsman."

However, both Sengoku's Buddha Fruit and Garp's physique are monstrous, putting him at a disadvantage in a prolonged battle.

As Hawkeye said, by the fifth minute of the battle, the situation began to tilt slightly.

Garp seized the moment when Shiki blocked Sengoku's attack and punched him in the side.

Even if the golden lion retreats in time, absorbing most of the impact,

But the impact of that punch still penetrated his body through his domineering aura.

"puff--!"

The golden lion coughed up blood and flew backward.

"It's over, Shiki!"

As the Warring States pursued, an even stronger golden light emanated from his palm.

"The Impact of Buddha!"

If this attack hits, the Golden Lion will be crippled even if he doesn't die.

But a glint of madness flashed in the Golden Lion's eyes.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, crossed his two swords, and his domineering aura surged wildly into the blades.

His long, golden, lion-mane-like hair stood on end, and his Conqueror's Haki erupted like a volcanic eruption!

"I am—the Golden Lion!!!"

"Shishiwei·Gosho Scroll——!!!"

Centered on him, the ground of Marineford began to tremble.

Countless fragments of rock, soil, and building debris broke free from gravity and floated into the air.

Then they coalesced into dozens of enormous rock lions!

These are no ordinary lions; each one is the size of a warship, lifelike, and roaring as it pounces on Sengoku and Garp!

"What?!" Sengoku's expression changed, and he had no choice but to abandon his attack and switch to defense.

Garp was also entangled by the three rock lions. He smashed one with his fist, but two more immediately followed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Golden Lion charged straight into the headquarters building!

"Roger—where are you—!!!"

His Observation Haki was fully activated as he searched for the location of the prison.

But soon, his expression changed.

"Not here... How could that be?!"

Roger's presence is nowhere to be found in Marineford!

"Could it be... that they've already been transferred to Impel Down prison?!"

"Where do you think you're going!"

"The Impact of Buddha!"

Sengoku attacked from the side, striking the golden lion in the chest with a full-force palm strike.

"Fist Bone - Meteor!"

Garp descended from the sky and punched him on the head.

The combined attack of the three top naval warriors landed squarely!

Rumble—!!!

The explosion illuminated the entire night sky.

The shockwave spread out from the golden lion, leveling all buildings within a radius of several hundred meters.

The naval officers were thrown back by the shockwave, and those who were weaker fainted on the spot.
