One Piece: Starting with the execution of Pirate King Roger

A golden afterimage instantly pierced through the rain of lava.

Golden Lion abandoned remote control and applied the power of the Float-Float Fruit to himself, instantly breaking the sound barrier.

He transformed into a golden meteor, his legs adorned with the renowned swords "Sakura Ju" and "Kokuro," both imbued with top-tier Conqueror's Haki in black and red, as he thrust straight at Takemikazuchi's throat!

"Lion - Thousand Cut Valley!!"

Faced with this lightning-fast attack, the massive Renn seemed to react more slowly.

"Pfft!!"

The golden lion's invincible and domineering slash tore through the lightning armor on Renn's chest and cut deep into his energy body!

"Hit!" The Golden Lion was overjoyed.

But the next second, his expression changed.

No blood was drawn.

At the wound, high-density plasma surged wildly, and the instantaneous high temperature was conducted along the sword, scalding the flesh of the Golden Lion's severed leg with a sizzling sound.

What's even more frightening is that Ryan didn't back down at all.

"Got you?"

The Thunder God of War suddenly brought his massive arms together!

There are no fancy move names; it's just the simplest and most brutal move—the grappling tackle!

Ignoring the excruciating pain of his chest being cut open, Raine's large hands, burning with blazing white lightning, gripped the Golden Lion's shoulders like iron clamps.

"Zzzzzzz—!!!"

A violent surge of electricity erupted instantly at point-blank range!

"Ughhhhhh!!!"

The golden lion let out a painful roar.

Even with powerful Armament Haki protecting him, the high-voltage electric shock and high-temperature burning at such close range still paralyzed his entire body, instantly curled and charred his hair, and caused blue smoke to rise from his skin.

"Get out of here!!!"

The golden lion roared, its eyes bloodshot and veins bulging on its forehead. With all its might, it kicked upwards with both legs, unleashing a burst of black and red domineering energy that forcefully shook off Renn's hands, sending it flying backwards with scorch marks all over its body.

The two separated in mid-air.

The wound on Ryan's chest healed rapidly in the flashes of electricity, but his figure was noticeably dimmer.

The Golden Lion, on the other hand, was in a much worse state, his body steaming, panting heavily, and his feet, which had been replaced by famous swords, were trembling slightly.

"Huh...huh..."

The golden lion stared intently at the figure that resembled a demon god, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He knew he couldn't delay any longer.

The opponent is a Logia-type user and quite young. Meanwhile, his own body is already nearing the point where it can no longer withstand the drain of Haki.

"Little brat..."

The golden lion slowly straightened up, the madness in its eyes gradually subsided, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and reverence.

That was the last vestige of dignity belonging to the emperors of the old era.

"You've managed to push me to this point... You should be proud of yourself."

The golden lion slowly raised its legs, and the two famous swords crossed in the air.

The air around him seemed to freeze.

It was as if the Conqueror's Haki, which seemed to want to dye the entire sky black and red, was being frantically poured into those two famous swords!

The sword began to tremble, emitting a humming sound that yearned for blood.

"I'll stake everything... let's settle this with one decisive blow!!"

The Golden Lion transformed into a pure black and red lightning bolt, concentrating all his energy and spirit into this single strike, charging towards Renn with unstoppable momentum!

"Godslayer - The Great Thousand Worlds!!!"

This strike was the pinnacle of his lifelong swordsmanship!

Faced with this desperate attack.

The light in Renn's eyes also became extremely intense, and his massive body, which was tens of meters tall, instantly shrank.

All the lightning bolts converged on his right arm!

His right arm transformed into a blazing white lightning sword several meters long! Instantly, jet-black Armament Haki covered the blazing white lightning sword!

The originally blinding lightsaber is now intertwined with black and white, this sword is meant to sever the will of the old era!

As soon as Renn moved, a sonic boom cloud that could be seen with the naked eye exploded in the air beneath his feet!

He transformed into a black and white rainbow that stretched across the sky and earth, fearlessly charging forward into the golden storm that was powerful enough to cut through the island!

Transform lightning into a sword!

……

"boom-!!!"

High in the sky, it looked as if a star had been detonated.

The moment the blazing white lightning sword, wreathed in dark and domineering energy, collided head-on with the golden storm of the Golden Lion, powerful enough to slice through islands, time and space throughout the entire Wilmeyou Sea seemed to freeze.

"Om-"

That was the mournful cry of the atmosphere, unable to withstand the immense pressure.

Immediately following was an extremely bright light, enough to blind anyone, which instantly swallowed up all the colors in the world!

The island below could not withstand the terrifying wind pressure and was as if it had been forced into a huge depression several kilometers in diameter by an invisible giant hand!

The tsunami was pushed in all directions, forming a water wall as high as 100 meters!

Golden Lion's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead throbbed like earthworms. He poured all his Conqueror's Haki into the famous swords on his legs, causing black and red lightning to explode wildly, attempting to tear the thunderous lightsaber before him to shreds!

"Zzzzzzz—!!!"

Two of the world's most powerful forces were fiercely clashing in mid-air!

Raine's Thunder Lightning Sword was not a physical object, but rather high-density plasma. It was like an ultra-high-temperature chainsaw, frantically scorching the Golden Lion's imposing defenses.

Although the Golden Lion's entanglement was indestructible, under the continuous high temperature output of Raine, the black and red armor began to fluctuate unstablely, and even emitted a teeth-grinding "hissing" sound.

Stalemate!

Every second of the stalemate was accompanied by thousands of high-frequency collisions!

"Is this... the pinnacle of the old era? It's certainly tough!"

Renn gritted his teeth, his body flashing with light as he pushed his physical strength to the limit.

"Click...click click..."

A sudden change occurred.

The golden lion's leg bones let out a mournful cry first!

He had severed his own legs in an attempt to escape from prison, though he later forcibly inserted a famous sword as part of the severed limbs.

But that spot was always the most vulnerable connection point in his body, a balance that was forcibly maintained by his muscle strength and domineering presence.

Under this terrifying kinetic energy and high-frequency vibration, like mountains colliding, those old wounds that had just healed instantly burst open!

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered!

The golden lion felt a piercing pain in his legs, as if his bones were being ground into powder bit by bit.

Renn keenly caught the momentary turmoil in the Golden Lion's domineering aura.

"Open it... for me!!!"

With a roar, Raine exerted force in his arm, causing the light of the Thunder Light Sword to double in intensity as he slammed it down!

"Snap!!!"

That was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The Golden Lion's leg bone... completely shattered!

"Ugh!!"

Without the support of his bones, the Golden Lion's sword stance collapsed instantly, and his legs twisted into a bizarre angle.

"Pfft!!!"

The blazing white lightning sword, wreathed in dark and domineering energy, swept through the Golden Lion's last defenses without any resistance, piercing straight through his chest!

"Uh……"

The golden lion's pupils dilated instantly, and the madness in its eyes froze at that moment.

The violent lightning raged within his body, instantly destroying his internal organs.

The outcome is decided.

The light that filled the sky faded away.

Raine hovered in the air, deactivating his Takemikazuchi form. He was panting heavily, his right arm trembling slightly, emitting black smoke, and his skin was even cracked.

He used all his strength in that attack.

And opposite him.

The golden lion, like a broken-winged eagle, fell helplessly towards the ruins below.

"boom!"

A loud bang.

The golden lion crashed heavily into the center of Wilmès Island, kicking up clouds of dust.

With his weakened body, Renn slowly landed on the edge of the large crater.

At the bottom of the pit, the Golden Lion lay on his back, a huge, charred hole in his chest, where all his blood had drained away. Beside him, his two famous swords, "Sakura-ju" and "Kokuro," which had accompanied him throughout his life, lay crookedly stuck in the soil.

Those eyes, already starting to glaze over, were fixed intently on Renn as he approached.

"Hehehehehe..."

The golden lion laughed as it coughed up pieces of its internal organs, its voice as weak as a candle flickering in the wind, yet still carrying that defiant arrogance:

"Why not take this opportunity to attack the ship's rudder above my head? That would make it easier to defeat me."

"Are you...doing this on purpose...you brat..."

Raine looked calmly at the dying golden lion before him:

There's no reason.

"I just think it would be too boring to defeat you using that method."

The golden lion laughed even louder, though his voice grew softer over time:

"Boring...?"

"Hey... state your name, kid."

The Golden Lion struggled to lift his eyelids, his unfocused pupils focusing for the last time on Renn's face. His voice, though weak, still carried his characteristic arrogance:

"I don't want to die at the hands of some nobody."

"Corvo Raine".

“Raine… huh…”

The golden lion murmured the name.

His gaze passed over Renn and fell upon the vast, boundless sky, as if he could see the storm of yesteryear, and the man in the straw hat smiling as he refused his invitation to rule the world.

"That bastard Roger... he had the same look in his eyes back then."

Suddenly, the golden lion withdrew its gaze from the sky and locked its eyes firmly on Renn once more.
