Vlad was very disappointed, extremely disappointed. Is this the Golden Lion? Is this the level of the monster that competed with the Pirate King twenty years ago? Isn't it too weak? what is this? Does this level also match Roger or Whitebeard?
Although Vlad had already had a premonition that the Golden Lion would never be the legendary pirate who dominated the world again, he did not expect that the former great pirate he was very afraid of would have turned into this.
Although I don't know what his level of Haki was like in the past, he was able to compete evenly with those monsters and showed no weakness against guys like Whitebeard. His Haki back then should have been terrifying, but now, What did Vlad see?
He was not keen enough in Observation Haki, so he could not completely predict Vlad's direct attacks, let alone someone like Vlad who had an insight into the sequence of his opponent's moves.
The armament Haki is mediocre. Even Zephyr, who is seriously ill, can resist Vlad's flames to a great extent, but this golden lion, who is healthy and has no disease at all, will be defeated by Vlad even if he is fully armed. Burned by the flames, this has to be said to be very disappointing.
Finally, there is the physique. The monsters in this world are completely different from the uncles and aunts in Vlad's previous life. Time cannot weaken their strength. Now the seventy-year-old Garp and Sengoku is still no worse than before and can still take off their clothes and just start fighting.
However, this guy called the Golden Lion was far from the level of a top powerhouse in terms of both strength and reaction. Such a level really disappointed Vlad! Haki can only grow in fierce battles, and the current golden lion cannot provide the fierce battle Vlad wants.
"It seems that twenty years have really corroded you!"
Vlad stopped chasing, his expression no longer smiling at all, "Look at yourself! Golden Lion!"
"Hoo!! Hoo!!"
The golden lion was knocked far away by Vlad's tail swing. He finally stopped and was panting heavily. His eyes were cloudy and uncertain. Vlad's two consecutive attacks really hurt him. Not a small amount of damage.
"Kah!"
The golden lion lowered his head slightly. His ribs were blurry and almost on fire. His face was still numb and had not recovered. This kid——
"Is the legendary great pirate who competed with Roger at this level?"
Vlad spared no effort to ridicule, "Ah, it seems that's all Roger does, right? He was almost defeated by a guy like you? Isn't it too ugly? The position of the Pirate King is far from what I thought. Is that noble?"
"Answer me! The so-called legend of the sea,"
Vlad tilted his head slightly, "Is that all? It's too weak!"
"Kid!!!"
The veins on the forehead of the golden lion are popping up. No matter who it is, they must not like others to insult themselves. At least, the golden lion will feel angry when being insulted by others.
"Are you looking for death?"
The Golden Lion has never been a man of great courage. He is undoubtedly proud of his sailing in the past few decades. Although he has not achieved his goal of dominating the sea, he is just with Roger, Newgate, and The confrontation between Garp and Zephyr and Sengoku was already a precious memory. How could the Golden Lion accept such an insult?
"Chop!!!"
The golden lion suddenly spun around, and a huge slash shot out of the air, directly hitting Vlad. The golden lion roared, "Boy!! Let me teach you! Why is senior called senior!"
"Roger! It's the Pirate King!!!"
Only the Pirate King, Gol D-Roger, the Golden Lion truly admires. The Golden Lion is willing to admit his failure. He was indeed completely defeated by Roger. The Golden Lion will never deny this, so , he didn't want to hear anyone insulting Gol D-Roger!
He doesn't want to!
"Who is looking for death!!!"
Vlad shouted, "Old man!! Who are the people who can't see the times!!!"
The flames spurted rapidly, Vlad flapped his wings, and the white-gold flames burned on his fiery red body. Even a shooting star would not be so gorgeous and fast.
"Crack!!!"
Vlad did not dodge and rushed directly towards the golden lion's chop. There was no need to dodge, he wanted to defeat the golden lion head-on! Vlad wanted to make this old man understand what the changing of the times meant!
Vlad's iron fist directly shattered the golden lion's slash.
Slashing is not the swordsman's strongest move. Although it has the widest range, the strongest thing is undoubtedly the sword in their hands. The concentrated power is always stronger than the outward slashing.
"boom!"
Vlad's iron fist hit the golden lion's sword spine, the sound of gold and iron clashing echoed through the sky, and the flame-like air wave spread.
"How much do you think I am looking forward to fighting you!"
Vlad punched out with all his strength, and the flames sprayed from his elbow, providing him with powerful strength. "Is this just what it turns out to be?"
The golden lion raised its foot and blocked Vlad's iron fist with its sharp sword, but it could not stop the splash of flames. The golden lion only felt that what was in front of him was not a fist but the sun. It must be armed with Haki at all times to be able to resist the burning heat.
"boom!"
The hardened and armed fist hit his face hard.
"Are you kidding me?"
Vlad roared angrily. Even the golden lion's fist could not defeat him. After all, this old man was not known for his strength.
"Come on!!"
The thick thigh directly hit the golden lion's soft belly, "Show me!!!"
"pfftt!!"
Along with Vlad's roar, the golden lion spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Boy!!!"
With a flash of sharpness, the golden lion's leg suddenly lifted up.
"Hey!!"
Sparks flew everywhere, and the golden lion's sword slashed hard on Vlad's stomach. Vlad's Observation Haki sensed the attack packed with Armament Haki, but Vlad didn't leave unscathed.
"laugh!!!"
The golden lion was blown away by Vlad's kick, but at the same time, Vlad also had a shallow wound on his stomach.
"Hey, wasn't that slash just now very powerful?"
Vlad smiled, "You could almost cut my stomach open!"
"Ahem!"
"Kid!"
The golden lion steadied his body, coughed twice, and slowly said, "Who are you?"
"Didn't I already say that?"
Vlad smiled, "I wanted you to do me a favor, senior, so I came all the way here!"
"I was really looking forward to it when I came here. The legendary big pirate, Shiki the Golden Lion, will be like a big pirate who fought against the pirate king Whitebeard."
"But I'm so disappointed!"
Vlad shook his head, "I'm really disappointed! Is this guy in front of me really the golden lion? Isn't it too inferior? Whether it's domineering or physical strength, swordsmanship or reaction, Is it really possible to match that big pirate?"
The golden lion's face gradually darkened.
"What disappoints me the most is,"
Vlad had a mocking look on his face, "You actually spent twenty years studying some bullshit violent monster. Oh my God, Golden Lion, have you forgotten? Pirates always rely on themselves. Fist and sword!"
"What's the use of those bullshit!"
Vlad yelled, "How on earth is it worth spending twenty years of your time? Losing your legs burdens you that hard? You can't use a sword? You have no ability? Your Haki, is it useless? Are you not a golden lion? Tell me, golden lion!"
"What the hell are you afraid of!!!"
"Where has your courage gone?"
Vlad's face sank and he said loudly, "Where is your dignity as a lion?"
"Kah--"
"Jiehahahaha!!!"
Slowly breathing out, the Golden Lion suddenly burst into laughter, "Boy, indeed, you are an extraordinary guy. Your abilities, Haki, and courage are all very powerful! When I see you, I feel like I have seen you. You reminds me of Roger and Whitebeard back then!"
"But! Kid!"
The golden lion laughed loudly and shouted, "If you just want to challenge me like this, you are Ridiculous!!!"
"How about this!!!"
The golden lion kicked his feet continuously, and endless slash rushed towards Vlad like rain! Each slash was a terrifying attack that could split open a small island in the sky.
"Ridiculous?"
Vlad laughed loudly, "Oh, the irony!"
Vlad's body suddenly began to expand, and flames shot into the sky. When the flames dissipated, a huge fire dragon appeared in the sky.
Vlad the Dragon is here!
"Roar!!!!"
A violent roar came from Vlad's mouth. Vlad flapped his wings, covered his arms with Haki, and laept towards the golden lion.
"Boom Boom!!!"
There was a series of explosions, Vlad blocked his arms in front of him, ignored the golden lion's countless slash, and rushed towards the golden lion.
"What a beast!!!"
The golden lion snorted coldly, waved his hand, and an island began to move slowly.
"Roar!!"
Vlad roared again, with a dazzling white light flashing in his mouth, "Destructive——"
"Roar!!!"
There was no earth-shattering sound, just a very low sound. A white beam of light spurted out from Vlad's mouth and hit the golden lion in seconds.
"Varied--"
The golden lion only had time to utter a single word before it was enveloped in white light.
Everything near the light beam begins to melt and burn! The terrifying temperature spread.
"Kid!"
The powerful voice resounded throughout the sky!
"Clang!!!"
Two slashes intersected, forming a cross shape and appeared out of thin air. They cut through Vlad's flame beam like a broken bamboo, and hit Vlad's chest heavily. Vlad was hit from a distance for the first time!
"Oh, this is it?"
Vlad was a little surprised. There was actually a cross scar deeply imprinted on his dragon scales on his chest. This was something that the Golden Lion had never been able to do before.
"Isn't this great? Golden Lion!!"
Vlad transformed back into his draconian form, smiling excitedly.
"Kid, the real battle begins now!"
The golden lion smiled, "Don't fall down too early!"
He actually held two swords in his hands!
