Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

A white line suddenly appeared on the body of the Great Pirate King Naruto, which was covered with powerful Armament Haki. The white line extended from the center of his forehead down. Then, in terror, the body of this former executive of the Rocks Pirates suddenly split in two.

Instantly, a large amount of blood gushed out!

"We can't waste it."

Suzuki twirled his sword, flicked away the drops of blood from the blade, and then activated the power of the Gluttony Fruit, swallowing the great pirate's corpse into the vortex.

Upon witnessing this scene.

Kaido, the Beast King, who crawled out of the sea, and Shiki, the Golden Lion, who floated in mid-air, both had their pupils constricted!

They never imagined that a pirate with a bounty of over a billion, a famous pirate from the last era, would die so easily at Suzuki's hands, without even being able to withstand a single blow!

But soon.

The two powerful sea warriors, who had reached the pinnacle of both strength and spirit, exchanged a glance and then rushed towards Suzuki together again.

"Lion's Might - Earth Strike!"

Shiki the Golden Lion, who had previously used the Float-Float Fruit to float on an island high in the sky, suddenly plummeted to the ground. As he fell, he transformed into a lion's head made of huge mud and rocks, opened his mouth wide, and bit down hard on Suzuki.

At the same time, Shiki the Golden Lion grinned and unleashed two terrifying sword energies that only a great swordsman could wield:

"Hehehe... Traveler!!"

"I don't believe you can sustain a prolonged battle with me and Kaido after releasing so many clones!"

"So what if I killed Wang Zhi? I've been sailing the seas for so many years, and I've learned one thing long ago: no matter what kind of monster it is, it's impossible to defeat two monsters at the same time!"

"Rocks is dead, and you brat, there's absolutely no way you'll survive!"

In an instant.

The stone lion, nearly a thousand meters tall, even burned like a meteorite due to its rapid fall.

The flames were blown upwards by the howling wind from the gaping maw, making it look as if the already fierce lion was draped in a majestic golden mane. Following closely behind were two sharp slashes from the world's greatest swordsman of the previous era!

Claws and teeth? No, that strike was sharper than the claws and teeth of any creature; the so-called cold glint was merely an embellishment.

but……

"You're old compared to Mihawk, Shiki!"

Suzuki's eyes were as calm as a still pond as he slowly turned to face the chilling sword aura.

Without even raising the silver-white blade in his hand, he reached out and grabbed it with his bare hand.

呲......

Suzuki caught the two sharp sword energies, each hundreds of meters long, at their point of convergence with one hand. The torn air tumbled backward, but he didn't take a single step back. He even crushed the almost solidified sword energy with his hand, then turned his palm into a fist and punched the incoming stone, earth, and fire lion.

Bang! ! !

The massive lion head, nearly a kilometer long, was blasted apart by a single punch.

Pebbles rained down on the sea, and sparks dissipated in the air.

"..."

Shiki the Golden Lion stared blankly for a moment as he watched Suzuki catch his attack with his bare hands without getting hurt.

But soon, Suzuki unleashed a flying slash at him.

The sharp sword energy struck the stunned golden lion, and the intense pain brought him back to his senses, but it was too late.

"You've certainly gotten old, Mr. Shiki."

Suzuki followed closely behind the sword energy, his expression calm as he raised his silver-white blade high and then slashed down!

Am I... going to die?

Like that guy Wang Zhi, was he killed instantly with a single strike?

Shiki the Golden Lion stared wide-eyed, his pupils contracting.

At that moment, memories of the past, the battles with Roger and Whitebeard flooded his mind, but the sharp blade was aimed straight at his neck, as if severing everything!

The screen cracked...

Bang! ! !

Kaido has made his move!

A powerful breath came straight at him. Suzuki frowned, paused in his movements, and slightly turned his head to dodge the breath.

Taking advantage of the moment, Shiki the Golden Lion gritted his teeth and controlled his body to fall rapidly downwards, dodging the sharp blade.

"Hahahaha... Senior Shiki!"

"What are you doing? You look so disheveled; you're nothing like the arrogant, flying pirate you used to be!"

Kaido laughed loudly, his blue dragon body churning in the clouds as his battle intent surged. Then, he tilted his head slightly, his enormous eyes fixed on Suzuki, and roared excitedly:

"Come on, let the battle continue, traveler!"

After saying that, Kaido breathed out a burst of high-temperature flames surrounded by raging winds and thunder towards Suzuki, his dragon claws aimed at Suzuki, and his huge dragon body swooped down from the sky.

"Mythical Beasts are indeed troublesome."

Suzuki narrowed his eyes as he looked at Kaido's dragon body, which had been restored to its original state.

An old man can never compare to a young man in his prime.

A fearless fighting spirit and a courageous mindset are far more useful in battle than so-called experience.

As one of the Four Emperors who has reached the pinnacle of the sea in terms of both the three types of Haki and Devil Fruit abilities, coupled with his special physique and outstanding talent, Kaido of the Beasts is, in every sense, more powerful than the God of Science Defense, one of the Five Elders with the Mythical Zoan type Ushio-Oni Fruit, whom Suzuki killed in Mary Geoise a few years ago!

The hundreds-of-meters-long azure dragon charged straight down, its initial burst of flames even being overtaken by Kaido.

Suzuki below looked like an ant in front of such a giant creature. Its huge and sharp dragon claws gleamed with a cold light, and its fingernails alone were several times larger than its entire body.

however.

What makes a monster a monster is that it possesses speed and strength that surpasses its size and human limits!

As a close friend of Hawkeye Mihawk, currently the world's greatest swordsman, Suzuki, while not having surpassed the great swordsman in swordsmanship, has already developed his own style.

The specific moves don't matter, as long as they can kill the enemy.

Simple, quick, and aiming for a decisive blow.

This is the core of Suzuki swordsmanship.

If simple slashes are not enough to break through the defense, then increase the power and the number of strikes!

Suzuki raised the silver-white blade, his arm veins bulging, muscles bulging, and grinned with a fighting spirit:

"Compared to the Golden Lion, it's definitely someone as strong as you who's truly worth hunting!"

"One-Sword Style: Hundred!"

In the blink of an eye.

The silver-white blade became an afterimage.

In an extremely short period of time, Suzuki frantically slashed at the same spot hundreds of times. The terrifying speed was so great that before the air could even produce a sonic boom, the airflow was torn apart by an even more violent slash!

In an instant, hundreds of slashes converged on a single point, forming a dazzling white light that shocked the heavens and the earth.

Kaido's excitement turned into fear, and his dragon claws tightened rapidly, attempting to withstand the terrifying slash with his hard nails.

next moment.

Bang! ! !

During the explosion, the hard fingernails were condensed into a solid hundred-meter-long sword aura that sliced ​​through them inch by inch.

"roar--"

Kaido roared in agony.

Even so, he showed no intention of removing the dragon's claws.

Kaido gritted his teeth, staring fiercely at Suzuki, his Haki surging towards his dragon claws.

Large amounts of blood rained down from the sky and fell into the sea.

However, the terrifying sword energy, which had condensed into a tangible form and was almost comparable to the attack of the ancient weapon Uranus, was actually slowly pushed forward by this Yonko!

At the same time.

In mid-air not far away.

Having dodged Suzuki's attack, Shiki the Golden Lion slowly descended into the sea with lifeless eyes, sinking into deep self-doubt.

When did I become so weak?

Am I really... getting old?

Just then, a roar that shook the heavens and the earth resounded!

"roar--"

"The Traveler!"

Kaido's dragon claws were almost split in two, and he was covered in blood, but he was still excited. His huge blue dragon body rushed towards Suzuki again.

Shiki the Golden Lion turned his head and stared blankly at Kaido, who was fighting a bloody battle. It was as if a string in his mind had suddenly snapped!

The hazy sky seemed as clear as a day.

The fragmented scene suddenly resumed, and everything from the past came rushing back.

The once unstoppable Flying Pirates... The defeat in the Edwall Sea... The escape from Impel Down with a severed leg...

What is true strength?

Strength? Physique? Defense? No, none of those.

It's about mindset and belief!

Only unwavering conviction can create extraordinary strength.

At this moment, Shiki the Golden Lion awakened!

"Heh heh heh heh... I don't want to live like this anymore!"

The old pirate suddenly raised his hand and decisively pulled the ship's rudder off his head.

Bright red blood gushed out, mixed with a trace of brain matter; just looking at it made one feel the immense danger and excruciating pain.

But Shiki the Golden Lion didn't care at all!

Blood flowed down his forehead, gradually staining his full head of golden hair red.

A powerful and domineering aura suddenly erupted, stirring up gusts of wind. Shiki the Golden Lion grinned and said:

"Hey kid, I'm not old yet!"

After saying that, Shiki the Golden Lion, without changing his expression, forcefully pulled the Sakuragi and Kuju swords off his legs and charged towards Suzuki with his blood-stained, disheveled hair.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing his senior return to his peak, Kaido laughed and then charged at Suzuki once again.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Each collision between the three was as terrible as a natural disaster, with gales and tsunamis appearing from time to time, and the sky was never calm for a moment.

……

High in the distance.

Morgans watched the fierce battle with excitement and enthusiasm, gesturing wildly as he broadcasted the report over the video Den Den Mushi:

"See that? Everyone saw it, right?"

"It's alright, if you can't see their fight clearly, I'll show you the battle!"

"The Great Pirate King was instantly defeated by the Traveler in one move. The Traveler's strength may be beyond all our imagination. He..."

"Now, Shiki the Golden Lion has returned to his peak!"

"The Flying Admiral who once rivaled the Pirate King Roger and fought against Whitebeard Edward Newgate has awakened, unwilling to remain idle!"

"But even when facing two of the most formidable monsters on the sea, the traveler showed no signs of weakness. He slashed Kaido away with another sword strike. Ah, the traveler was struck by Shiki, and Shiki also..."

During Morgans's broadcast, many people who could barely make out the figures of Suzuki and his companions, only seeing streaks of light flashing by, immediately understood the situation.

"How terrifying, traveler!"

"How can it withstand the combined attack of Kaido of the Beasts and Shiki the Golden Lion without showing any signs of defeat? What kind of monster is this?"

"Can the Navy really capture the traveler? With that kind of strength, even if all three admirals joined forces, they wouldn't be able to capture him, would they?"

"The title of 'Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world' is outdated. Now, the Traveler is the true strongest in the world!"

"..."

People were shocked and amazed, their eyes glued to the battle even when they couldn't see it clearly.

On the other side, in the international waters.

During the battle between the three Suzukis, more than ten minutes quickly passed.

But the battle between the three continued.

If he hadn't created so many shadow clones, Suzuki was confident he could have suppressed even Kaido at his peak and Shiki the Golden Lion who had returned to his peak.

But his enemies have never been just these two monster-level powerhouses.

In the sea below, many pirates and CPs with bounties generally exceeding 100 million are engaged in fierce battle with shadow clones!

"Hmm... the battle is getting a bit intense."

Morgans stroked his chin, then took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

The battle is so intense that many people can't even see it clearly, which isn't good...

Morgans thought for less than a second before ordering the news bird to shift one of the cameras to the pirates fighting the shadow clones below.

"Hiss~"

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

Morgans never imagined that the traveler's ability to create clones, as described in the bounty poster, would be so powerful!

All that could be seen on the sea below was...

The once azure sea has long been dyed crimson.

Of the hundreds of pirates, World Government CP members, bounty hunters, and others who initially joined, less than fifty remain alive. Suzuki's shadow clones have also suffered heavy losses, with fewer than one hundred surviving.

"Damn it, what's with these weird clones? Why do they have so many abilities?"

"That bastard traveler, what kind of Devil Fruit did he eat?!"

The pirates glared resentfully at the shadow clones surrounding them, their hearts filled with confusion.

Although they lacked Devil Fruit abilities, the Shadow Clones, whose average chakra levels were roughly equivalent to Jonin, managed to eliminate a large number of pirates of varying strengths through exquisite teamwork and collective ninjutsu.

Most of the remaining dozens of pirates are now trapped and helpless.

The sealing technique, the Four Purple Flame Array, easily trapped them, turning them into lambs to the slaughter.

Only Edward Weevil and several powerful pirates, too strong to be contained, were still fighting against shadow clones ten times their size.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

"ah--"

Several more pirates had their heads severed, and their corpses were stored in a storage scroll by the shadow clone.

The shadow clones were slaughtering the trapped pirates as if they were fat pigs in a pigsty.

Soon, the slaughter began in order from left to right.

The shadow clones arrived before the sealed cage containing Blackbeard Marcel D. Teach. (End of Chapter)
