Chapter 187 The Queen Takes a Fist to the Ghost Princess, Hawkeye Defeated by Evil Power

As the Banshee Queen, Sylvanas's senses are incredibly sharp. The little girl below is a ghost—no, she should be said to have some ghostly characteristics.

"You mean her? Her name is Princess Mononoke Perona. Her Devil Fruit ability is very special; she can control ghosts."

Among them, the Negative Ghost can make enemies extremely negative, and the user can also fly like a ghost, weightless, and even pass through walls.

Rhodes immediately explained Perona's Ghost-Ghost Fruit ability to Sylvanas.

"That's truly an amazing ability. He's clearly a living person, yet he possesses some of the abilities of a ghost. What's with this 'negative ghost' thing?"

"See that giant fishman kneeling on the ground over there? This is what happens when you get hit by her attack."

They will become extremely self-conscious, to the point of not wanting to do anything.

However, if someone is inherently very negative, then even if they are hit by her attack, nothing will happen to them.

"What happens if an undead gets hit? Undead don't have negative emotions." Sylvanas looked down at Perona with interest.

"It shouldn't have any effect on the undead, and as for you, being the Banshee Queen, I think it shouldn't have any effect either."

Of course, if your domineering aura is strong enough, this tactic of hers will be useless.

Many plot holes in the One Piece world have now been filled by Oda. For example, during the Marineford War, Whitebeard clearly pierced Aokiji, but Aokiji dodged it by transforming into an elemental form.

That's because of Observation Haki, the ability to foresee the future, which allowed him to transform into an element in advance.

Furthermore, regarding the special Devil Fruit abilities in the One Piece world, would they affect top-tier fighters? Oda directly addressed this by stating that as long as your Haki is strong enough, you can dismantle the ability, thus eliminating all doubts.

So Perona's abilities are indeed abnormal, but this move is ineffective against top-tier Haki masters.

My father-in-law is right! Only domineering spirit can transcend everything.

"Hmm! I'm quite interested in this girl." Sylvanas nodded; this ghostly ability was exactly what she liked.

"This is not a good situation. The Gecko Moria we killed before was her captain. Are you after her Devil Fruit ability?"

"No, I'm interested in her as a person. After you capture her, just have Pudding erase her memories and transfer all her worship of Moonlight Moria to you."

"That's one way. With Brin's ability to modify memories, she can do it." Rhodes nodded in agreement with the Queen's plan.

At this moment, inside the huge ship, a disheveled empress also ran out of the cabin.

Even Rhodes couldn't help but take a few more glances; this was a rare treat! In fact, many of the Empress's GIFs are based on this image.

Unfortunately, the character of the Empress has now become a yandere, and she only has eyes for Luffy.

Or maybe we could capture her and erase her memories too. The Empress is quite pleasing to the eye; she wouldn't be bad as a decorative vase.

Beneath the ocean!

Golden Lion and Hawkeye engaged in an extremely fierce battle, exchanging blows back and forth. Sakura Ju and Mukuro, their twin swords and black blades clashed, fighting fiercely.

The powerful flames and the slashes imbued with Conqueror's Haki forced Hawkeye to fight with all his might every time.

Hawkeye was already panting heavily. This swordsman who used dual swords was far more powerful than he had imagined, and his swordsmanship was at the highest level.

His Armament Haki is also top-tier, and he can also use Conqueror's Haki to entwine.

His ability to unleash high-temperature flames made it extremely difficult for Hawkeye to fight, even more so than when he fought Shanks.

He is indeed the greatest swordsman in the world, but even without this special fire ability, the opponent's strength...

His Conqueror's Haki is so powerful that it rivals even Armament Haki.

In terms of swordsmanship, he is slightly stronger than Shanks, but with the support of Shanks' powerful Conqueror's Haki, Shanks could easily fight him to a draw, or even defeat him.

Hawkeye also recognized the two swords used by the opponent: Sakura Ju and Mu Kure.

These two famous swords were indeed the weapons of the Golden Lion back then. He could only fight in the sky by relying on the power of Moonwalk, while this guy could fly and float freely in the sky.

This is indeed the power of the Float-Float Fruit.

Using Moonwalk also consumes stamina, while the opponent's Devil Fruit ability does not have this advantage. With this disparity, I will only lose faster.

The aftershocks of their battle even severely damaged some nearby naval fleets and large island-type ships.

Hawkeye's slash, and Golden Lion's slash, if they aren't struck down by the opponent, can hit from a great distance.

"How's it going, kid? You look a bit worn out." The Golden Lion revealed an extremely smug expression.

Finally, I've regained some face. Damn it, I knew it!

My strength has returned to its peak, and my physical fitness is even stronger. How could I possibly not be able to handle a brat?

The reason we were defeated before was because the current captain and Kaido's bastards were too strong.

"Are you really the Golden Lion? I recognize those two famous swords in your hand, Sakura Ju and Mukuro."

Your swordsmanship is indeed very strong, but the Golden Lion should not be as young as you, and why did your legs recover?

"And this fire ability, is it also a Devil Fruit ability?" Hawkeye looked at the blond man in front of him and asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Hahaha! Kid, I had no intention of hiding at all. From the very beginning, I announced my name: I am the Great Pirate Golden Lion!"

As for how I became younger, or how I acquired this fire ability, you don't need to know those things.

After speaking, Golden Lion swung his sword backhand at Hawkeye's black blade, but Hawkeye raised his sword to parry. Golden Lion then met the attack with his other sword.

Clang, clang, clang, the two men's weapons clashed repeatedly.

The two swordsmen were actually about the same level, but the old lion's fire abilities and Conqueror's Haki were simply unreasonable.

At this point, Hawkeye had completely fallen into a disadvantageous position, turning what was originally an evenly matched contest into a completely passive defense.

At this moment, on the distant naval ships, all the naval soldiers stared wide-eyed.

"Are you kidding me? That guy fighting Hawkeye... he looks kind of familiar."

"Judging from his clothes and appearance, it is indeed that man, and only that man has the ability to fly in the sky."

"Is it him? That legendary pirate! Golden Lion!"

"Judging from his attire, the weapons he uses, and his Devil Fruit abilities, it is indeed him."

But wait a minute! I just observed him through the binoculars; he's not a man in his seventies.

"The important thing is that fire ability; you can't take two Devil Fruits at once." Most of the Marines started discussing who this guy in front of them was.

"Hmph! No doubt about it, there are many magical things on this sea. The opponent is the Golden Lion. I saw him when I was young. This fighting style is correct."

Admiral Akainu crossed his arms and looked at Mihawk and Shiki, who were locked in fierce combat in the distance, and spoke.

"But Admiral Sakazuki, Shiki should be a user of the Float-Float Fruit, so what's with his fire ability?" a naval officer asked.

It's common knowledge that you can only eat one Devil Fruit, not two; this is an unchanging rule on the high seas. (Here's a note about the Marineford War: Blackbeard didn't eat Whitebeard's Devil Fruit, so the common sense still applies—you can only eat one Devil Fruit at a time. Don't say I don't understand the plot; Blackbeard hasn't eaten a second one yet.)

"Weapons can also eat Devil Fruits. Shiki's weapon must have eaten a fire-type Devil Fruit," Akainu explained to the Marine admirals beside him.

However, as for weapons, they should only be able to eat Zoan-type Devil Fruits. So, did Shiki eat some Mythical Zoan type to wield his twin swords?

"Kid, you're no match for me. There's no point in continuing. Come with me to see someone!" Golden Lion continued to wield his twin swords, suppressing Hawkeye.

Having recovered all his strength, and even become stronger, this was the most comfortable fight he had ever had. The previous battles had been completely crushed, leaving him feeling unsatisfied.

"Hoo hoo! Golden Lion, don't underestimate me, I haven't lost yet!" Hawkeye held his black sword, struggling to block Golden Lion's slashes.

Only those who confronted him head-on truly understood the immense power of the old man, Shiki. Was this the level of Whitebeard and Roger at their peak?

He realized that he was still far behind the world's top beings. Conqueror's Haki was an insurmountable gap, but it was something he was born with, so what could he do?

"That's because I've been holding back. You didn't think that was my full strength, did you?" The Golden Lion revealed a smug smile, and the twin swords changed, the originally crimson flames suddenly turning into an eerie green.

I haven't even used my evil power yet! Show me this nemesis of life! Hopefully, it won't kill you.

"Then let me see the power of the former greatest swordsman in the world! If you have the ability, take that title back." Hawkeye brandished his black sword and charged forward.

"Hmph! Take this: Fel Flame Slash!" The Golden Lion roared and attacked Hawkeye once again.

This time, Hawkeye was unable to block the attack. The powerful evil energy instantly destroyed his Armament Haki and even began to erode his life.

Armament Haki was completely ineffective against this extremely evil power.

After Shiki used his evil power, Hawkeye was finally defeated. His black sword fell from his hand, and he passed out. Shiki grabbed him by the collar and took him away.
