Chapter 95: The Battle Abruptly Ends! A Mysterious Mission
Accompanied by the suddenly descending slash.
The dual swords clashed violently together. In just an instant of confrontation, the airflow that erupted blew outward at an unimaginable speed.
The battle between Golden Lion Shiki and Lotte.
Had already lasted several rounds.
Although on the surface Golden Lion Shiki held a certain advantage, that was only due to the powerful suppression brought by his swordsmanship and Haki.
Golden Lion felt extremely stifled inside.
This guy Lotte was like he was on drugs—every slash he launched from any direction would be easily blocked.
In terms of reaction speed alone,
Lotte was in no way inferior to him now, and even surpassed him by a bit.
Only in Haki did Golden Lion still hold some advantage; otherwise, the one with the upper hand right now would probably be Lotte.
But if this continued in a stalemate,
It would turn into a one-sided battle of attrition, which was something Golden Lion absolutely did not want to see.
According to the intelligence Shiki had gathered so far, the strength Lotte had displayed was astonishing from every angle.
The most terrifying part was his extraordinary recovery ability.
Comparing stamina with such a monster.
Golden Lion Shiki did not believe he would be the one laughing last.
Moreover, Lotte was currently only fighting with pure swordsmanship—his signature ability to control trees had not yet been used.
Once swordsmanship combined with that ability later,
That would be the real troublesome situation!
Thinking of this, Golden Lion Shiki couldn't help but grit his teeth. He gripped Sakura-Ju and Kuchi-Ki tightly, staring dead at Lotte and growling deeply.
"Brat, the speed of your strength improvement really exceeded my expectations."
"From now on, I won't hold back. Prepare yourself mentally— if you really can't hold on, just admit defeat honestly."
Not far away.
The officers on the pirate ship saw this scene and their pupils trembled.
The Azure Emperor really was a monster—he had raised his swordsmanship to this level so quickly. Only half a year had passed.
Simply unbelievable!
Everyone knew Golden Lion Shiki was the strongest swordsman on their ship in terms of swordsmanship. In pure strength, he was absolutely one of the top cadres.
For Lotte's swordsmanship to contend with him was simply too perverted!
Though it still looked like he was being suppressed.
To be able to clash with Golden Lion Shiki to this extent without using his ability—if it were them, they definitely couldn't do it!
Whitebeard Newgate grinned.
"Gurararara! That kid's talent is still as perverted as ever!"
"Now Golden Lion Shiki is in trouble—he'll probably have to start using his big moves soon!"
As one of the absolute top cadres.
Newgate naturally saw Golden Lion Shiki's predicament. Without using his ability, it was hard to do anything to Lotte.
Dragging this out was not good news for Shiki.
To avoid the worst possible situation,
Golden Lion Shiki would definitely have to use his ability no matter what!
Rocks saw this and narrowed his eyes slightly, the corner of his mouth curling into an arc.
Just as he had expected.
Lotte's current strength.
Was probably no weaker than guys like Newgate and Golden Lion Shiki. Even if Marine Headquarters learned of this news, they would be greatly shocked.
A pirate of this level.
Could not be dealt with by a single Admiral alone.
If they truly wanted to kill Lotte, they would need at least two Admirals to be sure.
In Rocks' view, this was absolutely good news.
As long as Marine Headquarters sent two Admirals to hunt Lotte, he could take the opportunity to lead the main force straight to God Valley.
Everyone knew that even in Marine Headquarters.
There were only four Admiral-level combatants.
Losing two at once would leave only the Fleet Admiral and one remaining Admiral—nothing to fear.
This God Valley plan would definitely be a complete success!
Just as Rocks was setting his flag, the battle between Lotte and Shiki entered its white-hot phase.
"Bang!"
Accompanied by Golden Lion Shiki's figure suddenly leaping high into the air.
While floating in midair with the power of the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi, he gripped the hilts of his dual swords tightly. Pitch-black Armament Haki instantly coated them.
"Lion—Thousand Slash Waves!"
With the pitch-black blades.
Golden slash waves burst forth like a roaring lion!
Accompanied by successive sonic booms,
The dazzling golden slashes condensed and surged from the edge of the blade!
Suddenly,
Under Golden Lion's full-power slash.
"Boom!!"
The astonishing air waves swept up by the golden slashes were instantly completely overwhelmed by the sharp, bright-yellow slashes carrying terrifying whistling breaths!
These dozens of slashes nearly exhausted all of Golden Lion's power,
Like covering the sky and blocking the sun!
They plummeted straight toward Lotte!
Watching the terrifying slashes descending upon him, Lotte's mouth curled upward.
"This is your proudest move, right?"
"Golden Lion, if I catch this one, don't go back on your word later."
As his words fell.
The towering giant trees that had grown violently from the island ground instantly twisted and condensed, gradually forming a colossal giant dozens of meters tall.
The Wood Giant's hands condensed two sharp wooden blades.
Lotte stood calmly atop the giant's head. The two wooden blades suddenly gathered astonishing Armament Haki.
Accompanied by the giant's extremely sharp black slash,
Carrying an aura of annihilation toward all things, it chopped down almost in an instant.
It charged straight toward Golden Lion!
Then,
The majestic power instantly carried an extremely strong and terrifying violent slash,
Surging straight into the sky in a flash!
As the giant's slash collided with the golden slash waves.
The shockwave that erupted made the pirates on the ship unable to open their eyes for a moment. The entire island shook violently from the intense collision.
It raised waves more than ten meters high near the island, crashing against the shore with a huge roar.
As the waves gradually calmed.
Lotte and Golden Lion Shiki's figures reappeared.
Both of them looked somewhat disheveled at most. Undoubtedly, if they truly wanted to decide a winner.
They would need to fight for at least several days and nights.
Golden Lion Shiki naturally would not give up so easily on recruiting Lotte.
For him, even fighting the other for days and nights.
Was worth it!
Lotte also had full confidence in his endurance. With the recovery ability brought by Hashirama Cells, this was not a disadvantage for him!
Just as the two prepared to continue the battle.
Rocks' voice suddenly rang out.
"This spar ends here. Lotte, come to my captain's cabin."
"There is a special mission I need to entrust to you."
