"Are you really going to challenge that Gion?"
In a dilapidated town, Teach frowned and asked Shiryu.
"It's just talking." Shiryu said while wiping the beloved sword in his hand, "Even if I defeat her, it will only be exchanged between the two of us."
The top Observation Haki is no weaker than the top Armament Haki.
"If I beat her and can take both rewards as my own, then the challenge will have value."
Teach breathed a sigh of relief when Shiryu said this.
After all, Gion's ranking is one place higher than Shiryu's, and Teach doesn't want anything to happen to his current only partner.
[Shiryu: Nah, it's not worth it. If I choose between the two, I will choose my reward more than yours. It's a pity Marine Woman that you can't challenge me since my rank is lower than yours.]
For Observation Haki level that can predict the enemy's future moves, if he gets it, Shiryu doesn't think he can't defeat Gion.
Even if she has Top Armament Haki that can use internal destruction, as long as she can't hit him, no matter how powerful it is, it will be useless.
[Golden Lion Shiki: The top-notch armament haki and observation haki have their own advantages. There is really no need to challenge for another reward. ]
[Red-haired Shanks: Once the rewards of the golden list are released, there will be more powerhouses in the sea. ]
—[Swordsman List], 7th place, Golden Lion Shiki; scheduled reward, March of the Dead: [Yatsufusa].
–One of 48 imperial tools. After killing the enemy with this sword, the user can control the enemy's corpse by virtue of the curse power of [Yatsufusa].
–The abilities of the corpse doll are the same as before, but after the ability is removed, it will become a normal corpse.
–A total of 8 corpse dolls can be manipulated. During the activation of [Yatsufusa], the more corpses that are manipulated, the lower the ability of the user's body.
"Huh?! This sword is!?" One of Shichibukai, Gekko Moria's eyes widened, "Isn't this the same as my zombie?"
"Moreover, the corpse can maintain the strength it had in life, so if I can kill Rifan with this sword, wouldn't I be invincible!"
On his side, Moria's ship doctor, Hogback, who heard his master's words, wants to retort fiercely, after all, Rifan is not that easy to kill at all.
But thinking of Moria's character, Hogback swallowed his thought.
[Golden Lion Shiki: Jiehahahaha, the sword that can control other people's corpses, and also allows them to retain their abilities during their lifetime, doesn't it mean that after I kill the three Admirals of Marine, I can turn them into Admiral of my Flying Pirates! Jiehahahaha~]
[Admiral Kizaru: Hey, hey! Golden Lion, your idea is too dangerous you bastard!]
[Momousagi Gion: Don't try, because you won't succeed, Golden Lion. ]
[Red-haired Shanks: This sword, to some extent, is too scary. ]
[Dark King Rayleigh: Yes, if you control a top powerhouse, then the chances of killing other powerhouses will become greater. I just don't know how much power the body will lose when controlling the corpse. ]
"Marshal, if this sword was really obtained by Golden Lion Shiki, this lunatic. It's going to be dangerous." Kuzan frowned and looked at Sengoku beside him.
Sengoku's face is also serious. Of course, with Sengoku's intelligence, he knows this kind of problem.
If they really let Golden Lion get this sword and want to catch him in the future, they may face eight top powerhouses.
In that way, the difficulty of defeating Golden Lion will be unlimitedly expanded.
"How about we let Gion challenge him?" At this time, Sakasuki spoke.
"No, although Gion's ability is good, it still has a certain gap with Golden Lion." He shook his head.
As a person of the same generation as Golden Lion, Tsuru understands how troublesome Golden Lion is.
Even if he doesn't use his Devil Fruit's ability, and relies solely on swordsmanship, he is also one of the top swordsmen in this sea.
"Hmmp! Didn't you say that we can't let the Golden Lion get the sword, right?"
Akainu snorted coldly.
"As long as Gion can get the Armament Haki seed, she can be a top-notch combat power to Marines."
"But if she challenges Shiki, she may be killed. With Shiki's cruel character, he can definitely do this."
"This would be a major loss for Marines".
"Now, the pirates in the world are becoming stronger because of the golden list. We can't let go of this opportunity to strengthen ourselves."
Zephyr said calmly.
He also didn't think that Gion had the power to challenge Shiki. Instead of taking risks, she should safely keep the top Armament Haki seed.
"Although this sword is weird, can Golden Lion really use it to control people like us?" Kizaru said, "Not to mention whether he has the ability to kill top powerhouses. When he obtained that sword, other people will be vigilant enough when they confront him."
"I'm afraid, Golden Lion will join forces with other people." Sengoku sighed, "That guy once started a war with Roger. It's hard to guarantee that he will not go to other pirates to cooperate after he gets the sword name Yatsufusa."
"Let's take a look first, maybe someone else will challenge the Golden Lion. That guy took the recovery potion, and his strength is unknown. It's too dangerous to challenge him rashly.
"After confirming his abilities, I will decide whether Gion will challenge him."
Sengoku looked at Tsuru while talking.
"What are you thinking, Tsuru?"
Noting that Tsuru was lowering her head, stroking her chin, and knowing that Tsuru was thinking,
Sengoku asked.
"…I'm thinking that this list will not be officially established until a single month.
"If Gion can become Rifan's disciple, maybe she can quickly improve her strength."
Tsuru said.
"It's impossible." Kizaru touched his chin. "The world government will definitely not allow Marine and Rifan to be related. Since the golden list hasn't disappeared, people's attention got attracted to the gold list. If not, maybe Rifan's reward order has become the talk of the world."
"After all, his reward is tens of billions of berry, and it's the highest in the world.
"Compared to the original Roger, his reward is almost twice as high."
"And maybe, that Nico Robin has become a disciple of Rifan."
"Even if Gion reaches the Drum Kingdom, Rifan killed one of the five elders, and Gion is a marine under the world government, so he may not accept Gion."
Hearing this, Tsuru shook her head:
"Although the reward order has been issued, at least they haven't asked us to hunt down Rifan forcibly."
"Although it's a bit cunning to say this, she can learn something from Rifan first, before getting rid of him."
"In addition, even if the Dojo of the Drum Kingdom has been occupied by Nico Robin, it does not mean that Rifan must be unwilling to teach someone who is not his disciples."
"The mysterious blue-haired girl in Cocoyashi Village may have gained the power of Shock Fruit without becoming a disciple of Rifan.
On the side, Zephyr turned his head and looked at Tsuru in surprise.
It's like getting to know her for the first time.
"Don't look at me like that, Zephyr." Tsuru said, "I'm just talking about a possibility."
"Moreover, in this situation, maybe we can't take care of so much honest etiquette.
"I agree with Tsuru Vice Admiral's statement." Aokiji nodded, "Although it is unpleasant to rely on the power of wanted criminals, in this age of the golden list, there are too many scruples and may cause great losses to Marines."
Sengoku opened his mouth. When he wanted to say something, the text on the gold list changed again.
–[Swordsman List], 6th place, Issho; scheduled reward [Advanced Conqueror's Haki Seed]
