Chapter 199 Awakening - True Lion
"Jie hahaha!"
Lying in the pit, Golden Lion suddenly looked up and laughed loudly, but soon, his Eyes became extremely cold.
"But for me, Golden Lion, to just be captured like this."
Golden Lion paused as he spoke, then his expression became ferocious, and an angry Roar suddenly burst from his mouth.
"That, how is it possible!! I am Golden Lion!!"
Violent Conqueror's Haki instantly Burst out, forming a whirlwind as if it had substance, rolling up large pieces of Ice Block scattered around. The Ice Surface under his feet was almost lifted up by an invisible Power, extending for hundreds of meters.
At the same time, the Ice Surface beneath Golden Lion also swelled and bulged in an instant. Accompanied by a Roar, an incomparably huge Ice Lion rose from the Ground.
And Golden Lion stood on top of the Ice Lion's Head, his Blonde Hair fluttering in the wind, his face cold and containing endless coldness.
Anger, at this moment, filled Golden Lion's chest.
He might die, but definitely not here. Without settling things with Roger, how could he die so easily!!
"Ha!"
A Roar of Burst, accompanied by Golden Lion's Ability covering, large pieces of Ice Block and the wreckage of Ships around, all became part of that behemoth as his Ability covered them.
In the blink of an eye, this Ice Lion was already over five hundred meters tall, like a mountain range, exuding awe-inspiring power.
This giant Ice Lion attracted the attention of everyone on the Battlefield.
"Boom!"
Its Lion wielded Claws, and the sound of air explosions continued to ring out. Those sky-covering Claws were simply unstoppable.
"Shockwave!"
Sengoku's body surged with golden light, his Right Hand raised high, Power gathered in his palm, and Shockwave spewed out to collide with it.
But soon, Shockwave Burst, and vast Power spread out. The Ice Lion's Claws shattered, and at the same time, the giant Golden Buddha was also sent flying, rolling continuously on the Ice Surface, and only stopped after retreating hundreds of meters.
And the shattered Ice Claws were quickly recovering.
"Iron Fist - Fist Bone!"
A loud Roar, Garp leaped high from the Ice Surface and punched the Lion Head.
But the hardness of that Lion exceeded Garp's imagination. This Fist only filled the opponent with Cracks, although it looked very miserable, it did not explode.
Immediately afterwards, the giant Lion's Gaping Maw opened and swallowed Garp.
"Snap!"
The Lion's mouth was propped open by Garp's hands, unable to close.
At this moment, Sengoku flew forward again, firing a Shockwave at close range at the Lion Head, causing it to retreat repeatedly. As its Head shook, Garp was also thrown out.
In the blink of an eye, the two fought the Ice Lion condensed by Golden Lion and found that it was somewhat unexpectedly difficult to deal with.
The two exchanged a glance, then took a deep breath. The next moment, they charged up again, but this time their Target was no longer the giant Ice Lion, but Shiki above the Lion.
The two taking Action to deal with Shiki was definitely not a problem, the only problem was the length of Time.
On the Sea Surface in the distance, Nicholas watched all of this with a calm expression.
The Navy's deployment, it must be said, was very perfect. In this Battle, if there were no Accidents, this Lion would probably die here, unless he was willing to give up the dignity of the Strongest and directly use his Devil Fruit Ability to leave.
The Mobility granted by the Float-Float Fruit was enough for Golden Lion to withdraw from the Navy's encirclement. On the Navy's side, only Kizaru could pursue him for a short Distance, but would Golden Lion fear a Navy junior?
"What a joke? How could my path to King stop here!?"
A voice filled with extreme anger resounded through the Sky and Ground, followed by Golden Slash that obscured the Line of Sight like a storm.
This was Golden Lion's counterattack. It looked powerful, but in Nicholas's Eyes, it had a bit of the tragic grandeur of a hero's last stand.
This time's golden storm was more than ten times stronger than the previous Slash. The sharp Sword Aura was almost overwhelming, and almost nothing could stop it along the way.
"Is Golden Lion really an Ability User? How could he have such a powerful Slash?"
"Golden Lion set sail as a Swordsman back then. Devil Fruit Ability was something he obtained later. Run! If you get caught in that Slash, you'll lose your Life!"
"Is this your final Roar, Golden Lion!!"
At the forefront of the Slash, the giant Golden Buddha looked coldly at Golden Lion floating in the Sky ahead. And beside him, a Figure covered in Armament Haki, like a demon god, casually smashed a huge Slash with a Fist.
Then, taking advantage of Golden Lion's unpreparedness, the giant Golden Buddha appeared almost instantly In front of him and slapped Golden Lion with a palm.
Golden Lion's Body was once again sent flying.
And in the distance, the Pirates who were fleeing because of the joining of the Navy's three Logia-type Devil Fruit User and were fleeing for their lives, stopped blankly when they saw Golden Lion flying out.
It can be said that the Reason they still had the mind to escape was because of Golden Lion, because in their view, as long as Golden Lion held back the Navy, they would have a Opportunity to escape.
But even such a powerful Golden Lion was so embarrassed, could they really escape from the Navy?
It can be said that many Pirates were now doubting their Life. Were the Navy, who were usually so submissive in the New World, actually this fierce?
Just then, the Ground trembled, and it actually rolled and surged as if it had Life.
"You bastard, go to hell for me! Lion Majesty - Imperial Palace Earth Roll!"
The surging Earth condensed into dozens of enormous Lion Heads, then opened their Gaping Maws and frantically tore towards the Navy's direction.
The surrounding Pirates, seeing this scene, didn't even have time to be confused and all fled for their lives. Being annihilated by the Navy might be something for later, but if they didn't run now, they would die immediately.
"Boss Golden Lion, calm down! We are still here!"
"Damn, that Lion is crazy!"
"Is that guy planning to take us down along with the Navy?"
"Golden Lion, is this your last resort?"
Nicholas couldn't help but shake his Head. The Float-Float Fruit was indeed powerful, but more in terms of strategic significance.
In battles at their level, the Float-Float Fruit should actually be more inclined towards support, using flexible Mobility in conjunction with sharp Swordsmanship.
But now, Golden Lion actually used support as Damage Output, and the original Swordsmanship became support instead. This was fine for dealing with the Weakest. The Float-Float Fruit could just use a "heavenly justice" and be done with it, but against opponents of the same level, it was somewhat weak in direct combat.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Lions condensed from ice were shattered one after another by the Navy who reacted. The seemingly powerful Attack only caused a little trouble at the beginning.
"How ironic," Golden Lion laughed self-deprecatingly as he looked at Sengoku and Garp not far away. "Looking back now, I was indeed completely defeated after that battle!"
"Saying that pulling out the Ship's Wheel would be life-threatening, how ridiculous!"
"As a Pirate, I would actually allow this mark of disgrace to remain on my Body because of such a ridiculous Reason."
As Golden Lion spoke, his Right Hand touched the Helm on his Head and gently rubbed it.
He still remembered asking Dr. Indigo what would happen if he pulled out the Helm after that Accident. The result he got was that he might die, and he actually compromised so easily.
It seemed that he had already lost his pride as a Lion since then.
"Golden Lion, what do you want to do?" Nicholas noticed Golden Lion's Action and couldn't help but look over.
"That Golden Lion, what is he going to do..." Sengoku, who had deduced something from Golden Lion's Action and Words, was also a little unbelievable.
"I am, Golden Lion!!!"
Accompanied by a Roar, Golden Lion reached out and suddenly grabbed the Ship's Wheel embedded in his Head, then directly pulled it out with force. A large amount of Blood immediately spurted out, dyeing his original Blonde Hair blood red.
And dark red blood plasma was still dripping from the bottom of the Helm he was holding in his hand. Looking at the half of the Helm in his hand, Golden Lion showed a ferocious smile, and then directly threw it on the Ground.
Looking at the bloody and violent scene in the Battlefield, everyone fell into a daze and shock!
The original Golden Lion had now become the Blood Lion about to let out his final Roar!
