Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Ian's "Thor's Fist" and Shiki the Golden Lion's "Sword of Calamity" collided fiercely, and the surrounding space could not withstand the compression and collision of these two forces, instantly twisting and deforming.

The calm air suddenly became turbulent, turning into a series of violent shockwaves that erupted and spread towards the sky and the ground. The clouds high in the sky were ripped in two by the aftershocks of the battle, as if the sky had been completely torn apart!

This is a super collision of earth-shattering magnitude!

Ian and Shiki the Golden Lion were locked in a stalemate, locked in a struggle, with surging air currents emanating from them and spreading outwards, as if stirring up a super gale.

Even the sea below became turbulent due to this terrifying aura.

As time goes by.

The black Thor that Ian had transformed into remained as immovable as a towering mountain.

However, Shiki the Golden Lion's on-the-spot burst of energy could not be sustained for long.

He was already seriously injured in the battle just now, and then he forcibly removed the ship's rudder from his head.

The fact that Shiki the Golden Lion was able to unleash such a powerful attack for such a short time can be described as a "last gasp before death".

The black and red electric arcs wrapped around [Sakura Ten] and [Wood Wither] gradually thinned out.

This symbolizes that the Conqueror's Haki unleashed by Shiki the Golden Lion is also gradually weakening.

Ian ultimately prevailed in this stalemate.

Black Thor's fist lunged forward.

Shiki the Golden Lion, already at his limit, could no longer withstand the power of the "Thunder God Fist" and was once again sent flying backward.

"Shiki the Golden Lion, your story ends here."

Ian did not give chase, but instead used the Thunder Ring to manipulate the electrons in the surrounding natural environment.

"Thousands of thunders!"

Endless white lightning poured down from the high sky, as if creating a thunderous waterfall connecting heaven and earth in this sea, sweeping away the remnants of the old era.

300 The continuous rumble of thunder drowned out all other noises in the world.

Shiki the Golden Lion was completely engulfed by endless lightning.

this moment.

The thunderous roar all around was deafening and resounded through the sky.

Shiki the Golden Lion, however, inexplicably felt a long-lost sense of peace.

"My era...is over...hehehe..."

The once arrogant and domineering laughter of Shiki the Golden Lion became barely audible amidst the thunderous roar.

The light in his cloudy, lion-like eyes gradually faded at that moment.

At the last moment of life.

The image that came to mind for Shiki the Golden Lion was not the white dragon that had just defeated him, but the man he could never forget for the rest of his life.

"Roger..."

Shiki the Golden Lion is dead.

A brand new system treasure chest suddenly popped out of the void in front of Ian.

The system treasure chest, crafted with the work of a master craftsman, is adorned with one star after another. The dense array of stars surrounds the body of the system treasure chest, resembling a dreamlike and magnificent galaxy.

It is worth noting that both the system treasure chest and the stars on it emit a scarlet light.

This is a treasure chest of death!

[Star Chest: Shiki the Golden Lion]

【Treasure Chest Rating: ★★★★★★★】 (Seven Stars)

"The remnants of the old era, captain of the Flying Pirates, Shiki the Golden Lion, is leaving the stage..."

Ian stared at the Death Seven Stars System treasure chest in front of him, which was radiating a scarlet light, and a series of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Back when we were still in Impel Down.

Ian once revealed his ambition to Ivankov, the transvestite king.

He's going to become the strongest pirate of the new era!

He wants to purge the remnants of the old regime!

In this new era that will be named "Ian Adrian," there will be no place for the remnants of the old era.

Golden Lion Shiki.

This is the first "remnant of the old era" to fall at Ian's hands, and also the first legendary pirate of the old era.

But it definitely won't be the last one!

Ian took a deep breath and put away the Star Chest represented by the Golden Lion Shiki.

Immediately afterwards, he transformed into lightning and flashed to the front of Shiki the Golden Lion's corpse.

Although Shiki the Golden Lion is dead, his Devil Fruit ability should not be wasted.

Ian, wearing the Ring of Magic, reached out his right hand toward the corpse of Shiki the Golden Lion.

The demonic power that had not yet dissipated from the latter's corpse was drawn back together by the [Ring of Demon Control].

A brand new Devil Fruit was born.

【Floating Fruit】!

Chapter 137 The Golden Lion II, making his grand entrance!

"So this is the [Float-Float Fruit]!"

In Ian's right hand, he held up a strangely shaped Devil Fruit. Its skin had irregular, strange protrusions, like clusters of white clouds, with mysterious arabesque spiral patterns drawn on them, adding to its mystique.

Having lost the power of the Float-Float Fruit, Shiki the Golden Lion's body continued to fall into the sea below.

puff-

Shiki the Golden Lion's body fell into the vast ocean, splashing up a small ripple on the surface.

Several waves crashed over, and a few bubbles rose up in the process.

The once-renowned Flying Pirates, amidst this fleeting, firework-like bubble, faded into the annals of history with a remarkably simple "sea burial" ceremony.

This time, Ian paid no attention to the lifeless corpse. He simply released several long, thin, white, snake-like clay stalks and manipulated them to retrieve the two famous sea blades held by Shiki the Golden Lion.

Famous Sword: [Sakura Ten]

Famous Sword: [Wood Withered]

As the swords of the former Flying Pirate Shiki the Golden Lion, [Sakura Ju] and [Kori] enjoy a very high reputation on this sea. Although they are not among the "Twelve Supreme Grade Swords", they are still famous "Great Grade Swords".

Unlike the samurai swords more commonly found on the high seas, the appearance of [Sakura Ten] and [Wood Dry] is more in line with Ian's understanding of a "sword"—double-edged, with a straight blade and an unstoppable sharpness.

"Good weapon!"

Ian offered a word of praise.

What moved him was not only the appearance of [Sakura Ten] and [Wooden Blade], but also the fact that the [System Treasure Chest] had given a clear definition of the grade of these two famous swords—

Both [Sakura Ten] and [Kiku] are greatswords with a seven-star rating!

Ian also possesses a melee weapon—the [Iron Ore Saber].

Ever since he learned that the system treasure chests could improve the quality and star rating of items.

He then used the low-star treasure chests he had accumulated that were now completely useless to frantically "add points" to the [Iron Ore Saber].

This ordinary military knife, originally from the Naval Headquarters Equipment Department, has reached a "five-star" quality after being upgraded by the system's treasure chests time and time again!

However, the gap between the [Iron Ore Saber] and the [Sakura Ten] and [Wood Dry] still exists.

Ian himself didn't have any particular interest in "sharp knives".

Whether it's a fine sword with fifty skills, a great sword with twenty-one skills, or even a supreme great sword with twelve skills.

These "fast knives," renowned among swordsmen, were nothing more than ordinary cold weapons in his eyes.

When Ian was still weak, he would practice swordsmanship diligently, spending his family fortune to commission weapons.

Back then, both cold weapons and firearms could inflict significantly more damage than fists! And they were far more effective in combat than fists!

However, Ian has already awakened his [domineering aura].

The weapon's effect on his strength caused a dramatic drop.

After all, the precedents of "the largest water pipe" and "the largest slipper" are there for all to see...

So what if it's a black blade painstakingly crafted by great sword masters?

[Armament Haki], which can suppress all fancy tricks.

Moreover.

The so-called "black knife" may not be what it seems!

Aside from the great swordsmen who forged the [Black Blade].

The others are using [black knives]. Is he really using a knife, or is he being used by a knife?

all in all.

Ian was pleased to have acquired two great swords, [Sakura-ju] and [Kikura-ku], but that was about it.

Shiki the Golden Lion's most important "legacy" is still that star—

【Float Fruit】!

In Ian's view, the significance and value of the Float-Float Fruit far surpasses that of the Flame-Flame Fruit, which is a Logia-type fruit.

What is the Flame-Flame Fruit?

Many people can unleash fire-type abilities even without eating the Flame-Flame Fruit.

Even the three ASL brothers (Ace, Sabo, and Luffy) can "use" fire-based abilities.

The "Fire Fist" technique was used by Ace to defeat Sabo, and then by Sabo to defeat Luffy, truly a "passing on of the torch."

In contrast, what about the [Float Fruit]?

On this vast ocean, possessing the [Float-Float Fruit] is practically equivalent to having absolute air superiority!

Aside from superstorms in nature.

The Float-Float Fruit has almost nothing that can be called its "natural enemy"!

And then again.

Shiki the Golden Lion inflicted pain on this new Great Pirate Era by using biotechnology to create wild beasts, which he then released into the East Blue to destroy human civilization.

but……

This guy could have just smashed the island!

They insist on manipulating technology!

Ian even suspected that Shiki the Golden Lion's brain had become completely corrupted because it had been stuck in the ship's rudder for too long.

Isn't smashing an island far more destructive than unleashing a wild beast?

However, since the Float-Float Fruit now belongs to Ian, he naturally wouldn't waste this Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, which is of immense strategic importance.

This "Float-Float Fruit" is different from the "Flame-Flame Fruit" or the "Tyrannosaurus Rex Fruit".

Ian's opinion on the "Floating Fruit" is—for his own use.

Since it's for personal use, then the [Ring of Magic Control] is required.

"I now possess four [Magic Control Rings], each containing the power of the [Clay Fruit], [Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit], [Momo-Momo Fruit], and [Rumble-Rumble Fruit]."

"I want to use the [Floating Fruit], but I don't have a new [Magic Control Ring], so I can only free up one of the four rings I already have."

Ian currently has no extra six-star system chests and no way to wish for the [Ring of Magic Control].

There is one seven-star system treasure chest, and it's a "Death Stars Treasure Chest".

However, Ian has other uses for this Death Star Chest and will not use it to "make a wish".
