While everyone got into their own fights, Ian was having the time of his life.
Since a while ago he had been fighting with the legendary Golden lion Shiki AND Kaido.
Ian had to give it to the older man, he was definitely much closer to what he felt from Kaido… Why would Ian say that?
Because he was here fighting them, and that was what he felt. In terms of Haki, Shiki definitely had more, but Ian guessed Kaido would still win a fight between them.
Ian didn't know much about this old man apart from him being able to fly and that he has a flying ship, or rather an island ship.
There was also the part he knows about how he lost his legs and put his swords in their place instead, which is why he was now using these swords to walk around.
In his original world, this guy was brutalized by one of the movies if Ian remembered correctly… he was beaten by a pretty weak Luffy who had only used gear second pre-time-skip…
Ian felt like that was an insult, thankfully he knew that movie was not cannon.
Otherwise, such a man would have lost his legendary status to a weak-ass kid for nothing…
After all, who can fight against Roger the pirate king, Garp the hero, Sengoku, and be beaten by a teen that doesn't even know what Haki is?
Ian shook his head from these thoughts and dodged an incoming attack from Shiki…
"Brat, take this!" Shiki who was flying in the air, yelled at Ian as he twirled on his hands and started to spin and throw air blades at Ian…
Soon there were several hundreds of golden flying air blades all delivered in a second to where Ian was.
But Ian grinned rather than panic as he twirled his spear in his hands at such a speed it became an impromptu shield and managed to redirect all the air blades sideway.
This brought a frown into Shiki's face.
"Tsk" He clicked his tongue in distaste. This brat had been dodging all of his attacks since a while ago, and that was with Kaido creating openings… He was having a hard time accepting that even their combined effort still didn't manage to bring down the brat…
"Bolo Breath"
Just as Shiki finished that attack, a pillar of flames came at Ian out of nowhere, but Ian was not one to be caught off-guard, He had already seen the attack way beforehand in his mind, as such he used his spear and directly cut the flaming pillar into two after which it continued into the sky in two parts.
Attacks like this still didn't reach the speed where his future sight would not work, so he dealt with them easily.
As for why could he cut the flames like they were solid? Any weapon user worth his profession, would at one point be able to do such a thing… after all anything can be cut!
"While this is fun, it's my turn to attack now!" Ian swung his spear sideways as he 'smiled' at them.
He then proceeded to gather a huge amount of lightning in his right hand…
Soon enough he had a huge lightning ball floating on top of his palm, but he didn't stop there no, he started to compress it until it was just a regular soccer ball size that could be held on his palm. He then proceeded to throw the said ball into the skies with such a speed that the two who were fighting him didn't even manage to react.
And as soon as the mass of compressed lightning reached the sky it exploded and clouds started to surround the sky above Onigashima Island as lightning started to crackle…
This had them alarmed all of a sudden.
They had felt danger even from that compressed lightning ball, but he had in fact thrown it into the sky, so they knew whatever was coming was going to be big…
"Kaido!!" Shiki yelled at his ally.
And Kaido gave him a nod.
"I know!" Kaido replied back.
Kaido decided then and there to revert to his human form since he knew he wouldn't be able to dodge due to his huge form otherwise.
Ian smirked at him as he saw that.
"Good call," He said as he saw that.
Kaido was angered by this but he kept his guard up for the coming attack.
Both Shiki and Kaido noticed that whatever Ian had done was still in effect and they could feel Ian was concentrating on this attack still.
As such both of them nodded and decided to stop Ian from completing his attack…
Kaido then jumped near Ian with his kanabo swung to deliver an attack. Lightning was surrounding the weapon, a testament to its power…
But all Ian did was block it as he raised his leg and stopped it at its place.
He then jumped upwards by stepping on the weapon and did a flip before he brought his Haki coated leg on top of Kaido's head for a destructive axe kick and threw him back to the top of the skull dome.
Just as this happened, Ian let go of his spear that started to float near him, and he then crossed his arms and caught the two huge lion heads made from earth that came at him from both sides.
They were so huge you can compare them to mountains and Ian wouldn't even be visible to anyone watching from afar as he was sandwiched between them.
But Ian caught them with ease and they couldn't advance and crush him...
Ian then remarked.
"This is not the type of things I'd like to be sandwiched in between…"
However Shiki's attack didn't end there, no he delivered a huge triple-stacked golden air blade at where Ian was 'trapped'…
"Oh, you guys are trying so hard to stop me that it's starting to get funny, haha" Ian laughed as he exerted a bit of effort and pushed the lion-heads backward which lead to them breaking in the resulting shockwave from his simple push.
Then Ian coated both hands In Haki, then he put them one atop the other with his palms facing the incoming attack, and then actually proceeded to try and grab the air blades that came at him in the shape of two vertical air blades cut in the middle by two horizontal ones.
The air blades were huge almost reaching Kaido's dragon form in size…
Shiki seeing this yelled from afar.
"Are you searching for death you brat?!!" He yelled at him from afar.
He knew his own attack, and at this time he didn't pull any stops and loaded his air blades with his Haki.
As someone who once fought against the likes of Roger, Whitebeard, Sengoku, and Garp, he could confidently say they would not dare catch them barehanded like Ian was doing.
As if a testament to what he had said, the moment the air blades made contact with Ian's hands a huge shockwave was released at the point of contact, while black lightning was surrounding Ian's hands and the golden air blades…
For a second everyone on the battlefield stopped and turned to look at the huge clash between two conqueror Haki users in the sky…
The weaker people on both sides, directly lost consciousness, while the stronger ones looked on in fear…
Ian having heard what Shiki said to him only grinned back as if mocking him…
"As if I would die to an attack of this standard…" He then pushed the air blades backward with a bit more effort on his part and redirected them to the sea.
And when they made contact the sea opened up similar to the shape of the attack and it remained like that for a few seconds before the seawater rushed back to cover the openings.
Both Shiki, and Kaido, who was getting up from the broken ground with blood on his mouth, looked at this in complete shock.
Meanwhile, as they were trying to come to terms with what Ian had just done, Ian himself grinned as he looked at the sky.
"It's ready! Haha, you better prepare yourself!"
