Chapter 186 Golden Lion VS Hawkeye, Flaming Slash

This is a special pirate ship made by the Golden Lion, capable of flying in the sky, similar to the Alliance Skybreaker in the world of Azeroth.

"This ship could actually be improved. A disc-shaped flying fortress would be better, along with some protective measures. What's the point of putting oars on this ship? Does someone row you in the sky?" After boarding the ship, Sylvanas looked it over and made a blunt critique of the Golden Lion's pirate ship.

The exterior design is still that of an ordinary pirate ship, but what's the point of putting so many oars on it? And there are so many unnecessary things and completely illogical settings.

Moreover, the windproof design was inadequate, leaving the entire deck exposed even in flight, which also didn't fit the propulsion design. In short, Sylvanas had nothing but complaints about this pirate ship.

Golden Lion paused for a moment, then asked, "Uh, have you seen flying pirate ships before?"

He originally wanted to show off his prized flying pirate ship.

He was trying to show off in front of the new boss! But he ended up getting criticized by the female lead first!

"I have an air fortress that can hold about three thousand people, and its flight speed is even faster than your airship."

It's also more stable, and I don't need to operate it myself. The weapons on it are far superior to your flying pirate ship.

Rhodes proudly introduced his flying fortress to the Golden Lion.

Rhodes had initially been looking forward to this flying pirate ship! However, the lion's abilities were truly overpowered.

However, the speed of the pirate ship under their control is actually not fast. If they encounter a high-level civilization in the sky, they will be completely beaten.

Some of the Burning Legion's fel warships could easily defeat the Golden Lion, after all, they are at the level of a spacefaring civilization.

Rhodey no longer finds Golden Lion's flying pirate ships appealing; he thinks it's better to build his own floating fortress, and his enormous flying island is the real deal.

Soon the group boarded Golden Lion's flying pirate ship, while Rhodey opened a giant portal, and the group headed towards Amazon Lily, the gateway to the Grand Line.

According to the newspaper, the world destroyer Bondiwald recently attacked a warship guarding the Celestial Dragons, destroying several pirate ships, while the Celestial Dragons on board have disappeared.

The World Government has now listed Bondivaldo as a major threat, even elevating its level of threat to second only to the Revolutionary Army leader, Dragon.

They have already begun to gather the Seven Warlords and even the Navy has dispatched Admiral Akainu, forcing him to temporarily put aside his struggle with Aokiji for the position of Fleet Admiral and immediately come to eliminate Bondiwald.

"Is this guy that threatening? The Seven Warlords of the Sea have been mobilized, and even Admiral Akainu has been dispatched." Rhodes looked at the information in the newspaper, slightly surprised.

This is exactly the kind of formation used against Whitebeard! If it weren't for the budget issue, the three admirals would probably have all been mobilized. The other Shichibukai are just too far away to make it.

Rod remembered that in the special theatrical version, this guy attacked a Celestial Dragon's ship right from the start and destroyed it while wielding a giant scythe.

Given the conditions at sea, those Celestial Dragons must have fallen into the ocean and become fish food; their chances of survival are extremely slim!

It's no wonder the navy has mobilized such a large force to deal with him; it seems they are willing to do anything to eliminate him.

"That old guy is practically asking for death! He even did something like attacking a Celestial Dragon."

"Aren't you brave too? You even dream of destroying the four seas!"

Don't tell me you've never killed a Celestial Dragon.

"These days, you can't call yourself a strongman if you haven't killed a few Celestial Dragons." Rhodes glanced at Shiki and said with amusement.

Golden Lion rolled his eyes. "You make it sound so easy. Look at how many of those guys who attacked the Celestial Dragons are still alive. Even Rocks suffered such a crushing defeat back then."

"With our current strength, we are indeed not afraid of the World Government, and we are even fully capable of overthrowing them." Kaido said, looking at Rhodes.

He was already powerful enough to not fear the World Government before, let alone now.

"I don't do things I'm not sure I can do. I need to be 100% certain that I can completely and utterly defeat the World Government in one go, leaving them with no chance to fight back, before I will take action." Rhodes shook his head.

If I wanted to, I could summon the demons of the Burning Legion, and destroying the World Government would be an easy and enjoyable task.

They were simply no match for the endless army of demons.

The problem is that if the demons destroy the world government, they will also destroy the world, which is not what Rhode wants.

The World Government's strongest fighting force consists of the Five Elders and the Knights of Im, but this is only their apparent strength.

Whether there are other hidden fighting forces is hard to say.

As for the Five Elders, Kaido, Big Mom, Shiki, Whitebeard, and Shanks could each take on one of them; dealing with them shouldn't be a problem.

The Knights of God, a large group under Kaido's command, should be able to defeat them as well. Now, the Three Disasters and the Flying Six have all improved their strength.

As for Im, Rod wasn't sure if his current demigod strength was stable. Perhaps he should learn from the Hero of Caution and wait until he reached godhood before dealing with him. A 100% victory would be the safest approach.

I've decided. I'll find Im after I become a true god.

We need to be 100% certain. The myriad worlds have opened their doors to us, so I absolutely cannot be reckless or make a mistake.

To suppress Im, one must have at least the strength of a planet-destroying being.

"Captain, are you also going to deal with the World Government? When should we make our move?" Shiki suddenly became interested.

Destroying the World Government had always been his wish. However, his previous methods were merely small-scale attempts, and Golden Lion knew the probability of success was low. But this captain was different!

With Whitebeard, Red Earl, that old devil, plus myself, Kaido, and Linlin, it's not impossible for them to destroy the World Government.

"Let's wait a bit! I don't have time right now. I can stay here for a few more days. I have a lot of things to take care of when I get back!" Rhodes shook his head.

There's no way around it, the great Sargeras is still waiting for me to summon his avatar! It's been so long since I defeated Illidan, it's time to summon Sargeras.

Mr. Sa is going to the Marvel universe, and I have to go with him! After we get back, I'll have to figure out how to explore the new world.

After flying in the sky for several days, Rhodes and his companions finally arrived in front of a giant warship, with some naval ships approaching in the distance.

"What a giant ship! If this giant ship could fly, it would be very useful, wouldn't it?" The Golden Lion looked at the giant warship below with a look of envy.

It must be said that although Bondiwald was imprisoned for thirty years, his subordinates worked diligently to build him giant ships.

"If you like it, let's take this pirate ship with us in a bit!"

The battle below had already begun, and the Empress's Kuja Pirate Ship was already parked not far away, with a certain clown running over as well.

Not far away, a small boat that looked like a coffin lid was moored, and an extremely cold-blooded man was sitting there.

"Captain, have you figured out what to do with that old man?" Golden Lion asked.

"I must extract his Devil Fruit; I'm considering making him a Death Knight."

"What a pity. I really admire this old guy's courage. There aren't many people who dare to kill a Celestial Dragon and directly provoke the World Government."

The Golden Lion looked down at Bondiwald with some regret. This remnant of the old era was about to meet his end.

"His personality makes it impossible for him to submit to me; otherwise, it wouldn't be bad to take him as a subordinate."

Although high in the sky, through his powerful Observation Haki, Rhode could still sense a fierce battle taking place inside the ship's cabin, with the Straw Hat Pirates battling Bondiwald.

"Captain, your other target, Hawkeye, is here too. Should we capture him as well?" Golden Lion looked down at Hawkeye.

I've only been in seclusion for over twenty years, and you've already earned the title of the world's greatest swordsman? Did you even ask me?

"What, you want to fight him one-on-one?"

"Hahaha! If you agree, boss, I really want to have a one-on-one fight with him. I've been training my skills these past few days, and my strength has improved a lot." Golden Lion, carrying his twin swords, looked down at Hawkeye with a fighting spirit.

The world's greatest swordsman, a title I once held, Shiki the Golden Lion didn't rely solely on his Devil Fruit powers; swordsmanship was his forte.

Moreover, with the addition of fel energy and the power of fire, his swordsmanship became even more powerful.

"Haha! Sure, if you're interested, why don't you have a one-on-one fight with him!"

It's a good opportunity for you to expose yourself. The fact that the Golden Lion has reappeared and regained his fighting power can attract the attention of the World Government. Don't let them keep turning their attention to Wano Country.

Rhodes is about to go and greet President Sa, he really doesn't have time to deal with some minor matters, but the Golden Lion might be able to attract a lot of attention.

Eagle Eye, sitting on the small boat below, seemed to sense something as well, his sharp gaze fixed on a certain spot in the sky.

A massive pirate ship was anchored in the clouds.

"Hey! There looks like a pirate ship floating in the sky!" Princess Perona looked at Hawkeye. Now, anyone who wasn't blind could see the pirate ship in the sky.

"There might be a fierce battle soon, I don't have time to take care of you, you should stay away." Hawkeye stood up, his eyes fixed on the giant pirate ship in the sky.

"Sigh! Do you want me to help you?"

"You don't need to take care of yourself, he's coming."

Just as the two were talking, a huge fiery sword aura suddenly attacked Hawkeye.

Hawkeye narrowed his eyes, quickly drew the large sword from his back, and also unleashed a sword aura to block the slash.

The two sword energies collided, as if a huge rift had been torn open in the sky, followed by a violent explosion and waves of heat.

Hawkeye frowned deeply. With such strength and such intensely hot slashes, who was the opponent?

After using the Extinction Potion, the Golden Lion also added the ability of high-temperature flames to his swordsmanship, allowing him to unleash high-temperature slashes with a fiery effect.

After the thick smoke dissipated, a man with a full head of blond hair, wielding two swords, slowly descended from the sky.

"Hey! Who is this guy?" Perona looked at the golden lion in front of her and hid behind Hawkeye in fear.

"Who are you? State your name." Hawkeye looked at the blond man in front of him with a cold expression.

This blond young man, who looked to be in his early twenties, had never heard of such a powerful dual-wielding swordsman appearing on this vast sea.

What was that fiery slash from the opponent?

"Hahaha! I haven't sailed the seas for over twenty years, and the younger generation doesn't even recognize me?" Golden Lion looked at Hawkeye with a smug expression.

"Hey, what are you talking about? You haven't been on the high seas for over twenty years!"

"You bastard, you're only in your early twenties, you weren't even born twenty years ago!" Perona directly started to complain to the Golden Lion.

He's quite handsome, but he seems to have some mental issues!

Hahaha! Who knows?

All I want right now is to find a master to fight, and I've heard you're the greatest swordsman in the world right now.

"Then let's have a contest! Wave Slash!" The Golden Lion brandished his twin swords, attacking Hawkeye without any mercy.

A massive slash tore through the entire sea surface and then hurtled towards the distant naval vessels.

"State your name. You're definitely not some nobody." Hawkeye Mihawk, his face also radiating fighting spirit, drew his black sword.

This guy is stronger than Vistas, and even stronger than Shanks.

"Hahaha! Listen to me! I am the legendary pirate, Golden Lion!"

"." Eagle Eye.

Perona.

Are you kidding me? You're supposed to be a golden lion? How can a golden lion be as handsome as you?

Don't think we don't know; the golden lion has a large ship's wheel stuck in its head, and its legs are also crippled.

Moreover, if he were still alive, he would be an old man in his seventies, not a healthy young man in his twenties. You don't resemble the Golden Lion at all.

"Hmph! If you don't want to reveal your identity, that's fine. I'll find out after I defeat you." Hawkeye brandished his black sword and swiftly attacked Golden Lion.

"Hahaha! Come on, kid, I'll show you what the world's greatest swordsman, Flaming Wave Slash, truly is!"

Countless massive fiery sword energies were continuously unleashed by the golden lion.

"Is this flame a Devil Fruit ability? Interesting." Hawkeye, not to be outdone, brandished his black sword and engaged in a fierce battle with Shiki.

Clearly, the old lion had suffered two crushing defeats and was eager to regain some face by defeating his juniors.

"That little girl down there, I feel like she has the aura of the undead on her," Sylvanas said, looking down at Perona.
