The future kingdom, Balkimoa.
The lion and the tiger, Rocks and the golden lion, both of them were looking at each other seriously with full momentum.
The Golden Lion Shiki held Sakura Ten and Kuki in both hands, held a cigar in his mouth, and looked at Rocks with excitement.
A strong aura continued to overflow from his body, colliding violently with Rocks's aura.
"Hahaha! Stop wasting time, kid! Let's have a good fight!"
With a loud roar, the golden lion Shiki took the lead in attacking Rocks.
Relying on the power of the Float-Float Fruit, the Golden Lion Shiki arrived in front of Rocks at an extremely fast speed and slashed at him with both swords.
Rocks had a blank expression on his face, and swung his sword without panic to block the attack of the Golden Lion Shiki. Then a purple gravity wave instantly flew out from under his feet and covered the Golden Lion Shiki.
Suddenly feeling a terrifying gravity upon himself, the Golden Lion Shiki showed a look of surprise, then chuckled.
"Gravity?! What a great ability!"
The Golden Lion praised him, gathered all his strength, and chopped off the long sword that Rocks had stabbed at him with one sword. Then he quickly broke free from the constraints of gravity and quickly turned over and retreated.
“Chopping!”
Dozens of golden crescent slashes flew out along with the golden lion Shiki's sword, forcing Rocks back.
Rocks kept twisting his body to avoid the golden lion's attacks and held the sword in his backhand.
"Gravity Blade. Tiger!"
“Ouch!”
A purple tiger roared, and then pounced on the golden lion Shiki with terrifying lateral gravity.
"boom!"
"Lateral gravity?!"
The golden lion Shiki, who was knocked down by the purple tiger, said in surprise, then held the sword with both hands, swung out a huge golden slash that directly cut a hole in the horizontal gravity space, and quickly flew out.
However, Rocks will not let him go so easily.
"Gravity space. Space stagnation!"
A white ball instantly flew out from Rocks' palm and directly trapped the golden lion Shiki who had just flown out of the horizontal gravity space.
"Hmm, what is this!"
The golden lion, trapped in stagnant space, suddenly found that his movements became extremely difficult.
Although trapped, the Golden Lion Shiki remained calm.
As the Golden Lion Skide adapted and explored, his movements slowly recovered.
However, Rocks did not intend to use this skill to completely kill Golden Lion, one of the world's top pirates, at the beginning.
A purple-black sphere had condensed in his palm in that short period of time.
"Super gravity ball!"
The purple-black gravity ball broke away from Rocks' palm and flew towards the Golden Lion Shiki.
After escaping from Rocks' control, the purple-black gravity ball suddenly developed extremely terrifying gravity, swallowing up everything around it that could be swallowed into the gravity ball.
That terrifying power was like a small black hole, wanting to swallow everything.
The golden lion Shiki flew towards the gravity ball at a rapid speed under the gravity of the gravity ball.
However, after the gravity ball appeared, the stagnant space that bound him also disappeared.
Now out of control, Golden Lion Shiki will not easily let this thing that makes him palpitate touch him.
"What a dangerous thing! But I am not one of those dead things! Get lost!"
"Lion's Might. Control of the Earth!"
Under the power of the golden lion, the entire valley was transformed into huge roaring lions, all rushing towards the small gravity ball in the air.
The rock lions pounced on the gravity ball one after another and were then swallowed.
Finally, after devouring the thirteenth rock lion, the gravity ball disappeared into the air.
In a short period of time, the entire valley was shattered by the super-gravity ball.
The Golden Lion looked at the space where the gravity ball was just now with lingering fear.
"If I get swallowed by that thing, even if I don't die, I'll be skinned alive!"
The golden lion thought silently in his heart.
However, as one of the world's top pirates, he would not show that kind of fearful look.
"Hahaha! Little devil, your attack is totally useless!"
The golden lion looked at Rocks below.
However, there was no sign of Rocks below.
"Of course I know this. After all, you are the Golden Lion. If you are killed so easily, then you will not be worthy of being called the Golden Lion!"
Rocks' voice came from above the golden lion's head.
The long sword in his hand was emitting a rich purple light.
"Gravity Blade. Sky-falling!"
"Buzz!"
As Rocks swung his sword down, an extremely terrifying gravity instantly fell from the sky and hit the body of the Golden Lion Shiki directly.
“Ahem!”
Hit by Rocks' heavy gravity, the golden lion Shiki groaned, spat out a mouthful of blood, and smashed heavily towards the valley below.
"boom!"
A huge explosion sounded from the valley.
The entire valley became even more miserable under Rocks' attack.
A tall mountain became a thing of the past with this blow from Rocks.
A huge hole appeared in the valley.
Rocks floated in the air, staring at the huge pit below, breathing slightly.
After using several powerful moves in succession, Rocks felt a little tired.
"You little bastard! How dare you make me so embarrassed! I'm going to kill you!"
A roar came from the huge pit, and then the slightly embarrassed figure of the Golden Lion Shiki flew out.
"Tsk, it really isn't that useful!"
Rocks snorted coldly, raised his sword and rushed towards the Golden Lion Shiki.
"boom!"
The two collided violently in mid-air.
An invisible shock wave spread rapidly between the two people.
After the two men struck each other, they did not pause, but swung their swords at a high speed, continuously striking each other.
Sonic booms continued to explode in the air, and the figures of the two people kept flashing in the air.
The long sword in his hand kept colliding.
Golden and purple slashes occasionally flew down and hit the valley below.
The two of them vividly demonstrated to everyone below what a contest between top combat forces looked like.
Below, Jhin and the others looked up and watched the battle between Rocks and the Golden Lion Shiki.
The more he looked, the weaker he felt.
"You need to practice harder."
Jin thought silently in his heart.
"As expected of Boss Rocks, he is as strong as a monster. At the age of seventeen, he can compete with that golden lion. Just think about me when I was seventeen..."
Sasaki suddenly remembered that when he was seventeen years old, he was helping a noble family clean the toilet, and he immediately covered his face and burst into tears.
This strange action made everyone look at him strangely.
In the distant port, Barrett withdrew his ability, looked up at the battle above, and looked extremely excited.
"Hahaha! Shiki the Golden Lion! He's really strong! I really want to fight him and see who is stronger, Roger or him!"
Somewhere at the foot of the mountain, a man in a white suit, a round hat and a mask on his face was holding a Den Den Mushi and filming the battle in the air.
In the air, Rocks, who was fighting fiercely with the Golden Lion, gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Although he can compete with top pirates like Shiki the Golden Lion, there is still a gap between him and these top powerful men in the sea.
Although in terms of strength, Rocks is already among the top strong men in the sea, his experience is still far behind those veteran strong men.
Whether in terms of ability or swordsmanship, Golden Lion's experience completely surpasses Rocks.
"No, the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for me. I have to think of a solution."
