His body had not yet aged, his Conqueror Haki was still at its peak, and the ability of the Float-Float Fruit had been fully awakened!
What made him even more excited was that the man standing in front of him at this moment was a man who had come out of the East Blue and had the qualifications of a king!
He was extremely powerful, in his twenties, and had already fought against the strongest.
"Lion's Might: Myriad Sword Mountain, Chaotic Rampage Style!"
The twin swords on Golden Lion's legs slashed repeatedly, flying slashes imbued with Conqueror's Haki shot out, converging midair into a storm of countless flying slashes like a raging disaster that wants to devour everything in its path!
The clouds in the sky and rubble on the ground surged toward Gawain like a tidal wave, all controlled by Golden Lion!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions continued, and the buildings in the core area of Water 7, including countless mutated animals, were completely swallowed up by the attack of Golden Lion.
Countless buildings were flattened, and there was nothing around.
Gawain, who was at the center of the attack, was completely submerged by the violent attack of Golden Lion in the first contact.
The combined defense of Battle Armor, Diamond Body, and red dragon fruit ability was shattered.
Beneath the ruins, Gawain's body was covered in wounds, severely injured by a near-peak-level strike from Golden Lion.
But he is still alive!
As long as he stood on the land of Water 7, he would not be defeated!
The light blue vitality poured into Gawain's body, repairing the damage on the surface of his body.
In a few seconds, Gawain had recovered. He wanted to rush out of the ruins and fight with Golden Lion as soon as possible, but his action was interrupted by a sudden system prompt.
"Physique experience +1,709"
...
"Conqueror's Haki experience +13,345!"
…
> Conqueror Haki: Level 4 (12,008/25,000) → Conqueror Haki: Level 5 (353/50,000)
Gawain paused in his action of getting up, and his eyes gleamed frighteningly bright at this moment.
In just a second, he felt the changes in his body.
The total amount and quality of his Conqueror Haki increased by more than 50%!
The improvement in combat power brought about was even more obvious, and Gawain was even clearer that the improvement in numerical values was only the basis; the more important thing was the following.
"It is detected that the host's Conqueror Haki has been upgraded to Level 5, and you can choose one of the following branch abilities:"
"Heroic Body, Unparalleled!"
… … …
In the air, after the attack, Golden Lion felt his body weaken.
This attack alone had drained away half of his strength, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
This was the strongest attack he could launch now, and both the scale and lethality were close to his peak.
But whether he was willing to admit it or not.
The old wound on his head could be healed, and his Conqueror Haki could be restored, but because of the burden of his aging body, he could no longer squander his strength without restraint like he did twenty years ago.
"Hu..."
A breath of foul air was exhaled, and Golden Lion's eyes became extremely stern at this moment.
"Jihahahaha!"
The unruly, crazy, and hysterical laughter squeezed out of Golden Lion's mouth and resounded through the sky.
Everything was eclipsed!
Golden Lion was like a victorious king, overlooking everything in Water 7.
The resentment accumulated in his heart for more than twenty years was finally released!
At this moment, whether it was Law standing on the roof not far away and watching the battle, or the Five Elders watching the projection screen, or Akainu watching the entire battle on the sea, they all fell into silence.
Twenty years have passed, Roger is dead, Whitebeard is old, and among the top pirates of the same generation, only Golden Lion still has the courage to swallow the world!
"What a monster."
At the Mary Geoise, the Five Elders looked at the laughing Golden Lion on the screen and showed cautious expressions.
The ability of the Float-Float Fruit to come and go freely, top swordsmanship, ultimate Conqueror Haki, and the combat power he possessed made the Five Elders feel quite tricky to deal with Golden Lion.
What makes them feel bad is the situation of Golden Lion's group this time.
Big Mom, Ochoku, and Golden Lion are all monsters who survived the Gods Valley incident.
Now these three people have joined forces again. Did this mean Rock's will still live on?
You should know that the Hachinosu Island that Ochoku is currently occupying is the former home of the Rocks Pirates!
This is what the Five Elders are afraid of.
The World Government has ruled for eight hundred years, and there are many people who have truly challenged the order they have built, and the biggest threat is Rocks D. Xebec.
A monster that is incredibly powerful and has defeated Roger several times!
St. Jaygarcia Saturn's face suddenly became solemn: "Let Sakazuki take action, none of these three people can be left alive!"
"Even if we have to do it ourselves, we must keep these three people in the Water 7!"
"Wait!"
A cry of surprise interrupted St. Jaygarcia Saturn's words. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw St. Marcus Mars's surprised expression.
At this moment, St. Marcus Mars let out a cry: "I remember what his devil fruit ability is!"
"Although his weird appearance is far from the Human-Beast Form of that devil fruit, there is no doubt that this guy's ability is the red dragon fruit."
"The devil fruit that should have been given to the members of the God's Knights was accidentally lost. I didn't expect that he would actually get it."
"As long as there is vitality, the red dragon fruit can absorb the earth's vitality without limit to repair itself."
"Under the right battlefield, it is a nearly invincible ability!"
"Red Dragon fruit..."
St. Topman Warcury's face gradually became solemn at this moment: "If I remember correctly, this was from Britannia..."
"Ah."
St. Jaygarcia Saturn nodded, his eyes falling on the ruins of the projected screen.
It seemed that his sight saw Gawain buried underground through these rubbles.
"In other words, this guy has a certain degree of immortality, and he is now strong enough to compete with Golden Lion. It is almost impossible to deal with him directly to prevent future troubles..."
"Even if we take action ourselves, we may be able to repel him, but it is difficult to capture or kill him."
"This is becoming a serious problem. What do we do now? Should we still proceed with the Buster Call?"
St. Marcus Mars frowned and thought more than the others: "Now Kuzan is also in the Water 7. He is obviously going to save the civilians there. If the Buster Call continues, that guy might really… completely stand on the opposite side of us."
"That is to say."
"After this incident, there will be two more unstable factors of the emperor's level on the sea!"
"No!"
"If Golden Lion is still alive, that means..."
"Three!"
St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro held the sword in his hand, his face uncertain. Although the Guanze Masamune in Gawain's hand reminded him of some bad memories, he gradually calmed down: "Let's ask that person, do you have any objections?"
"No!"
