One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

Golden Lion was right, Aaron is still too inexperienced.

It has been less than a year since the end of the Marineford War, and Aaron has not experienced many battles.

The strongest of them all is the world destroyer, Bundy Wald.

Secondly, there are Doflamingo, Marco, Vista, and Jozu.

They lacked experience in fighting against the world's top powerhouses.

As for the Golden Lion, he lived for over 70 years, and even though he retired more than 20 years ago, his combat experience is far beyond what Aaron can match.

He experienced the God Valley battle, competed with Roger for supremacy, and even single-handedly stormed Marineford, fighting against two top-tier fighters, Garp and Sengoku.

Aaron said to the Golden Lion, "I just didn't expect that a legendary figure like you would actually attack me from behind, especially a young man like me."

The Golden Lion said, "Kid, a fight is a fight. What's with all this talk of sneak attacks? We're all fighting to the death, who cares about morality or ethics?"

"Boy, I'll teach you a lesson today. Robbing one person makes you a thief, robbing one country makes you a king. Robbing the whole world makes you the king of this world!"

In this world, there has never been a distinction between good and evil, only between the strong and the weak! The victor is king, the loser is villain; the winner is justice! Because the power to define and interpret lies in their hands!

Aaron said, "Golden Lion, you only care about strength. No matter how strong one person is, it is impossible to go against the whole world and keep winning."

The Golden Lion snorted, "Kid, stop with the talk, let's see who's better with our hands!"

"Lion's Might - Wave Slash!"

A slash came flying in, and the golden lion quickly closed in.

Aaron, who was in mid-air, slightly shifted his position to dodge the slash.

Aaron's inner universe had also begun to burn, and his aura was rapidly rising.

A halo of orange-red and golden light enveloped him, adding to his air of mystery.

The Golden Lion's two famous swords, Sakura-ju and Kumoki, clashed and attacked, sometimes slashing, sometimes thrusting, their attacks unpredictable.

Having just recovered from a serious injury, Aaron's strength had increased slightly again. Donning his Saint Cloth and burning his cosmos with all his might, Golden Lion's attack, though still fast and powerful, was no longer unstoppable in his eyes.

Aaron used both palms to strike or block, deflecting all of the Golden Lion's attacks.

"What kind of armor is this? How could it possibly block my sword!"

Although the Golden Lion was surprised, he did not panic. The two famous swords, Sakura and Kumoki, on his feet were already wrapped in Armament Haki.

But then Shiki discovered that even with Armament Haki applied, Aaron didn't seem to have much difficulty taking the hits.

Moreover, the Armament Haki that can penetrate the enemy's body surface, including armor, and the Haki that attacks the enemy's internal body cannot penetrate the Saint Cloth.

The impact of the Golden Lion's attack was neutralized and dispersed by the Saint Cloth, and Aaron received less than half the power of the attack.

Aaron, his blood boiling, switched from defense to offense.

The fighting on the ground has also begun.

Fempdil obeyed Aaron's orders and stayed by Lark's side, refusing to engage in combat.

Bernard gripped the knife, shielding it on his other side.

Lucci and his crew of seven were struggling to deal with over two hundred formidable pirates.

At this moment, another strange change occurred in the crowd. Two people dressed as pirates began to attack those around them, and their moves were also the Six Styles.

Lucci, seeing this, warned, "Kaku, be careful."

Kaku and the others noticed this as well and nodded.

They could guess that the two people were members of the CP organization.

As for whether these two would turn against him after completing their mission, Lucci couldn't be sure. He could only remind his partner to be careful.

A leopard's roar rang out, and Lucci transformed.

After transforming into his human-beast form, Lucci became even faster and more ruthless in his attacks.

Kaku and Jabra also transformed and charged into the pirate group.

"Boom boom boom..."

Suddenly, a series of cannon shots rang out from the sea. The Golden Lion used a powerful attack to force Aaron back, and his body immediately floated hundreds of meters away before he looked down at the sea.

There were already a dozen or so warships on the sea, but they were not flying ordinary naval flags.

"NEO Navy, it's Zephyr who's here. Hmph, nothing to fear!"

The golden lion swung his right hand sharply and roared, "Rise!"

"boom....."

A deep, terrifying rumble resounded, causing Lion Island to shake violently, and the surrounding seawater surged with towering waves.

"boom...."

Lion Island came to life, like a sleeping lion waking up, shaking its body, and slowly rising into the sky.

"Hehehehe!"

The Golden Lion laughed loudly, "Boy, don't think you're safe just because Zefa is here! The entire island will rise into the sky and then fall back down. Let's see how many of you will still be alive!"

Aaron laughed, "There are only a few of us. Besides, you forgot, they can all use Moonwalk. Moreover, my partner is an ability user; he can fly."

Golden Lion wasn't discouraged at all; instead, he laughed even louder: "So, you don't care about the lives of those pirates?"

"I was going to kill them anyway, so this saves me the trouble of doing it myself."

"Hehehehe! As expected, your heart is more vicious than that of a pirate! You should be a pirate; you can kill without any restraint."

Aaron said, "I'm different from you. I kill to save more people. Releasing a pirate back into the sea will leave at least ten civilians living in danger and fear."

Lion Island has risen to a height of several hundred meters, and is surrounded by a lot of seawater.

From above, Fendi shouted, "Boss, don't worry about us, hurry up and take down the Golden Lion!"

"Take me down? Zhanbo!"

The golden lion snorted and kicked out with its right foot, sending a slash straight toward the island.

In an instant, Lion Island split in two, with its rump and tail detaching and falling downwards.

The golden lion was not satisfied and launched another slash with both feet.

Aaron flashed past, blocking the slashing wave, and slammed his right fist down: "Break!"

The slashing wave shattered instantly, and the shockwave rushed towards the golden lion.

With the tremors, strong winds rose, and the waves below began to rage. Where Lion Island originally stood, a huge whirlpool with a diameter of over ten kilometers began to form.

The remaining pirate ships and a dozen or so warships were tossed about by the waves, as if they might sink at any moment.

"Heh heh heh heh! Kid, nice move! Now those marines down there are in danger too! You're the one who killed them!"

With a whoosh, a sound of wind breaking rang out, and the golden lion turned its head to see a black figure arrive in an instant.

"Zeffa!"

"Long time no see, Golden Lion!"

The Golden Lion chuckled and snorted, then unleashed a slashing wave towards Zephyr.

With a clang, Zephyr easily blocked the slash with his right hand, which was made of seastone mechanical arm.

He stepped on the moon and his right hand, like a crusher, slammed towards the golden lion.
