Chapter 445: I Just Want to Learn Fencing with You

"Exactly... That's what I said."

The Golden Lion, who was holding a cigar between his teeth, exhaled large puffs of smoke and said coolly, looking down at Yeruashi below.

Although Shiki had never met Yeruashi before, he could certainly recognize his identity at a glance.

One of the Four Emperors!!!

The traveler!!!

There aren't many people in the expanses of the sea who deserve to be remembered by Shiki, but Yeruashi certainly was one of those people!

He destroyed the headquarters of the Navy!

He destroyed the Holy Land of Marijoa!

It was because of these actions of the Traveler that Shiki decided to return to once again dominate the expanses of the sea!

The Golden Lion looked at Yeruashi in silence for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I can certainly take back my words, but only on one condition.... become my right hand, Yeruashi!"

He extended his hand in Yeruashi's direction and eagerly squeezed the empty air with his palm, "By joining forces, we can overthrow the World Government! We will become the masters of this world!"

After these words from the Golden Lion, absolute silence reigned.

The numerous East Blue pirates on the decks of the ships in the sky looked askance at the Yeruashi below.

"To be honored to receive such a noisy invitation from the head of the Golden Lion.... Who is this guy anyway?"

"He seems to be one of the big pirates of the Grand Line..."

One of the pirates suddenly remembered something when he got a better look at Yeruashi's face below, and nervously swallowed saliva, "If I'm not confusing anything, then his bounty exceeds.... three billion belli!"

Again there was silence, followed by many loud shouts.

The nearby pirates looked at the Yeruashi below in disbelief, "Hey, hey, three billion?! This is too much even for a stupid joke..."

Currently, East Blue was no longer the weakest of the four seas due to the Golden Lion's influence, but with the exception of Shiki himself, the highest bounties on the heads of East Blue pirates were barely over 40 million belli.

The gap between 40 million and 3 billion is so large that it is far beyond the imagination of the East Blue pirates.

What kind of power should be contained in this young man's body, since such a bounty is given on his head?!

Kuina and the rest of the people on the shore could not hear the conversations of the pirates in the sky, but this did not stop them from realizing that Yeruashi was not an ordinary person at all!

This weak-looking young man deserved such a solemn attitude from the Golden Lion!

Even Aokiji, who showed fantastic strength by instantly freezing a large area of the sea, was noticeably worse against his background!

So what kind of power does he have?!

Now, Kuina finally understood why Yeruashi didn't care at all about the Golden Lion's appearance on this island from the beginning.

It wasn't that Yeruashi didn't realize the terror of the Golden Lion, but he himself was such a terrifying figure!

Accompanied by the astonished and doubtful gazes of numerous people, Yeruashi looked at the Golden Lion in the sky and calmly said, "I refuse."

"..."

The Golden Lion paused for a moment, then bowed his head slightly and asked imperiously, "Don't you want to rule the world?!"

"I'm not interested in something like that."

Yeruashi replied indifferently.

He had already been the ruler of Naruto's world, so now he felt no interest in something like this.

Maybe in the future he would want to be king, emperor or something like that, but definitely not in this world.

The Golden Lion's face darkened.

He slowly lowered his hand, which he had clenched into a fist, and turned to Yeruashi, "Just like Roger... I've never been able to understand those people..."

Shiki looked at Aokiji nearby and narrowed his eyes, turning back to look at Yeruashi, "You wouldn't fall so far as to help the Navy, would you?"

Yeruashi smiled wryly and took a step forward, drawing Muramasa's demonic sword from its sheath.

His figure rose gently into the air, stopping right in front of the Golden Lion, "Don't get me wrong, Shiki."

"I was looking for you to... practice my swordplay."

Although the Golden Lion is no longer in his prime and the times when he could fight on equal footing with Garp and Whitebeard without taking a single step back were left behind, but from the previous momentum, it can be judged that he is still an extremely strong swordsman.

Therefore, Shiki hardly had the qualifications to become a sharpening stone for Yeruashi, who had recently reached the level of a great sword master.

If we talk about using a wide-ranging attack, then it is quite simple to find a suitable place for this, but as for single-target attacks, then for a full application, of course, need a strong enough opponent.

Otherwise, Yeruashi will look like a Hawkeye who used a razor to taunt Zoro.

Such a thing will only cause laughter, without any real aura.

The Golden Lion looked coldly at Yeruashi, "You look like you want...me to kill you right here."

Whoosh!!!

In the next instant, Shiki abruptly swung his right leg in Yeruashi's direction.

"Shishi!"

Accompanied by Shiki's shout, the Meito Otho attached to his leg emitted a bright golden glow that took the shape of a giant slash.

Whoosh!!!

A huge golden slash cut through the air, heading towards Yeruashi with incredible speed, it looked like it was going to cut the whole island in two parts with it!

The power of the great sword master was revealed in the Golden Lion's first attack!

This majestic golden slash surprised Zoro and Kuina, who were standing nearby.

They only felt weakness and insignificance when faced with such a majestic slash!

Although Zoro and Kuina were geniuses capable of defeating the adult swordsmen in their dojo at the age of ten, there was an unimaginable gap between them and the top of the sword path!

Whoosh!

Yeruashi just smiled wryly as he faced this attack from the Golden Lion, and calmly waved his sword.

He didn't use the power of the Six Paths, the illusory clock, or anything like that, but just pure sword skill acquired in the world of One Piece.

Klang!!!

With a swing of Yeruashi's sword, a huge blue slash appeared in front of him, colliding with Shiki's huge golden slash.

Auge!!!

After a brief collision, accompanied by screeching and cracking sounds, a loud explosion was heard.

It was obvious at a glance that Yeruashi's blue slash was a bit bigger and denser than Shiki's golden slash.

After the destruction of the golden cut, the remnants of the blue cut still flew towards Shiki.

Yeruashi was not superior to Shiki in sword skill.

He had recently reached the level of a great sword master and could not compare with the Golden Lion, who had been at this level for many years, but Shiki lost his legs and replaced them with his swords!

Although this did not stop Shiki from showing the power of a great sword master, it is still less effective than normal swordsmanship with his hands.

Whoosh!!!

Shiki swung his leg, scattering the remnants of Yeruashi's blue cut.

He grew very melancholy, beginning to realize that he was most likely not an opponent of the Traveler in his current state.

But in Shiki's dictionary, as one of the three legends of the bygone era, who was on the same level as Roger and Whitebeard, there was no word 'retreat'!

"Shishi: Senjindani!"

Shiki roared furiously, starting to swing his two legs rapidly.

Whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!!!!

A dense stream of huge golden slashes rushed towards Yeruashi like a storm.
