Looking at the huge lions surging forward, each one was thirty or forty meters high, giving a sense of oppression.
At this time, even the sky and the earth seemed to have turned gray. In front of these giant lion heads of mud and stone, normal people would feel extremely small and insignificant.
Basire's eyes were full of murderous intent, the Kirin lion scales on his body were pulsing with light, the seven-star demon pattern was shining, and the barrier power on his body was constantly surging.
"You want to kill me? It just so happens that I want to dye your blond hair red, pluck out your rudder comb, and steal your swords as well!"
'Barrier: Susanoo!'
Basire grinned, a red light flashed in his eyes, and his fighting spirit reached its peak. A translucent light green giant with a height of 60 meters suddenly appeared, and a 40-meter long sword appeared in its hand.
The barrier giant held a long sword and slashed it horizontally, splitting the two giant mud and stone lions into several pieces.
"How could it be?! How could the barrier fruit have this form?!!"
Shiki looked at the barrier giant created by Basire in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock.
The defensive ability of the barrier fruit itself is very inexplicable, but now it can actually develop this giant form that is both offensive and defensive.
Isn't this too exaggerated?
He has to say, this kid Basire's brain is really awesome.
"Everything is possible! You never thought that even with an absolute advantage, you would still be defeated by Roger and the storm."
Basire ruthlessly exposed Golden Lion Shiki's greatest humiliation in his life. He did not lose to Roger, he just lost to luck.
"You kid, you're looking for death!"
Shiki became furious when he thought of the Battle of Edd War. It was that damn battle that nearly wiped out the entire elite of his air fleet.
A rudder was inserted into his head, causing his Conqueror's Haki to go backwards until it is now almost unusable.
When he attacked Naval Headquarters Marineford, his Conqueror's Haki was still available as he fought against Sengoku and Garp.
However, after being sent to Impel Down and having to cut off his legs to escape from prison, his physical strength was greatly weakened, and he could no longer suppress the injuries caused by the rudder.
Once Haki is overused, causing a surge of blood, the rudder that penetrates into his head may endanger his life, causing him to suffer from some mental and memory disorders, and he will not even know who he is, let alone his subordinates.
From that moment on, he knew that he could no longer dominate the world with his own strength, so he began to place his hopes on these evolved monsters.
As he grew older, his physique weakened even more, and various old injuries worsened, making him even more afraid to use Haki, fearing that the rudder on his head would suddenly kill him.
Even if he doesn't use Haki now and he tries to avoid fights as much as possible, his mind still suffers from confusion from time to time. It is normal for him to misidentify people, and it is also common for him to kill his subordinates because he mistook them for enemies.
The only reason Shiki now continues to run rampant in the Grand Line is because of the awakened Float Fruit ability and his swordsmanship experience and skills.
Although his Slash Wave sword energy is very strong now, compared to his peak, it is simply less than one-tenth.
Before Mihawk became the world's greatest swordsman, Golden Lion Shiki was a famous top swordsman in the dual-sword style.
However, for some reason there seems to be a stupid stipulation that if you eat Devil Fruit, you are not worthy of the title of the world's greatest swordsman.
Otherwise, he would have grabbed the title of the world's greatest swordsman in the previous era!
Even Roger, Rayleigh, Newgate, Linlin and other strong swordsmen couldn't defeat him with sword skills.
···
Stimulated by Basire's words, Shiki entered a violent state, and his aura became a little unstable.
On board Lion's Head Island Ship.
Dr Indigo saw that Shiki was a little out of control on the surveillance screen, and suddenly felt a bad premonition.
If Shiki's mind became confused right now, he might use Conqueror's Haki unscrupulously, leading to further physical deterioration or even death.
"Captain Shiki, calm down, I'm going to release the third stage experimental monster!"
Indigo shouted in the den den mushi loudspeaker, wanting to use the monster thing to divert Shiki's attention and let him regain his calm, so he immediately released a fire-breathing beetle and a thunder yellow bird, and immediately ordered the two monsters to attack Basire, and at the same time attracted the attention of Golden Lion Shiki.
At this time, the four giant mud and stone lions had been chopped into pieces by Basire's Susanoo, causing Shiki's plan to directly suppress him to fail.
'Lion: Thousand Slice Valley!'
Golden Lion Shiki's two swords, Oto and Kogarashi, were constantly sending the golden sword energy towards Basire, attacking the barrier giant from everywhere. He also waved his hand again to restore the giant mud lion heads, and continued to bombard Basire like crazy.
"Jihahahaha! You kid! It takes a lot of physical strength to maintain such a huge barrier giant!"
Seeing the fire-breathing beetle and thunder-yellow bird in the sky, Shiki also remembered the main purpose of this operation, and his angry and confused mind also returned to clarity.
"Why do you only play with a few lion cubs? Where's your Haki? Where's your Conqueror's Haki? You can't even use it, am I wrong?"
Basire continued to taunt. His Susanoo giant had been struck by countless sword energies until it stood still and was unable to move forward. Although these dense sword energies could not break through the barrier's defense, the terrifying concussive force made it almost impossible to counterattack.
The four giant lion heads of mud and stone also began to rush over, trying to surround Basire in the middle and completely imprison the Susanoo.
The giant beetle in the sky was spraying pillars of fire, and the four-winged yellow bird was shooting thunder and lightning, and they all attacked the Susanoo that was currently being suppressed by Shiki.
"These things are of no use to me, show your true skills!"
The Susanoo held the sword in both hands, ignored
Shiki's chop wave bombardment, and slashed horizontally again. The fire pillars and lightning were ignored by him as the 40-meter-long sword once again cut the approaching stone lion heads.
The terrifying force split them into pieces.
"These garbage can't be called monsters!"
'Barrier thrust!'
The armor shoulder spikes on Susanoo's body suddenly extended at extremely high speeds and shot straight towards the two ferocious flying monsters in the air.
Two piles of blood spattered, and the two pierced monsters struggled desperately on the barrier thorns. Out-of-control flames and thunder exploded in all directions in a crazy roar.
Dr Indigo on the ship immediately dropped all the monsters he brought into Lion Peak Island.
The strength of the new Shichibukai seems to have exceeded their expectations.
"Kid, it turns out you want to awaken Conqueror's Haki through me!"
Feeling that Basire's momentum was growing, as if it had reached a critical point, and also remembering how the kid had mentioned Conqueror's Haki, Shiki finally understood why this kid had to fight him alone.
This kind of courage reminded him of that kid Kaido, who dared to break into Beehive Island at the age of 15, clamoring to challenge the strongest pirate!
This kid Basire has already become a Shichibukai, so he didn't expect him to have such ambitions. He seems to have a lot of potential.
