People are pirates, and a sheep comes to open the gate of heaven

Chapter 179
The red and blue streams of light intertwined and rushed towards Shiji at such a speed that it even exceeded the naked eye range of Indygo and the king of IQ creatures "Lion Ghost" in the distance.

Seeing the two streams of light getting closer and closer to Shiji, Indygo couldn't help but remind him loudly:
"Be careful, Master Shiki!"

After he yelled, Shi Ji came back to his senses belatedly. He stared at Ao En and Yamato who were rushing at a high speed, and raised his foot to swing a huge flying slash in an attempt to force them back.

"Leave it to me to deal with."

Noticing the high-spirited fighting spirit on Yamato's face, Aoun took the initiative to meet the flying slash.

The muscles of his right arm flexed, and Mjolnir's hammer released dazzling lightning. As the heavy hammer swung, the lightning condensed into a tiger-like posture visible to the naked eye.

The thunder tiger opened its bloody mouth and bit into the golden flying slash. The long, thunder-covered fangs could bite out fine cracks in the flying slash visible to the naked eye.

Ping!
Flying Slash and Lei Hu were in a stalemate for less than a second, but they were finally defeated by Lei Hu's sharp fangs, and were shattered into endless pieces.

At the same time that the flying slash was shattered, Yamato had already rushed in front of Shiji, and black and red lightning was visible to the naked eye around Aken's rod covered with ice crystals.

"Thundering gossip!"

Seeing the familiar black and red lightning and hearing the familiar name of the move, Shi Ji's pupils shrank for a moment, and then he panicked and put up the "Ying Ju" and "Mu Ku" stuck on his legs. For the first time, a purple-black armed aura was wrapped around it.

clang!
The melodious ringing of gold and iron shook the eardrums of everyone present, and the terrifying impact caused Indigos and Shigui to fly out.

As the two spectators were like this, Shi Ji, who hurriedly took this move, naturally felt uncomfortable.

His old figure was sent flying more than ten meters away by this thunderous gossip, and he spurted out a large mouthful of blood uncontrollably while he was in mid-air.

It wasn't until his body almost fell to the ground in a state of disgrace that he managed to summon up his fruit power, clutching his chest and floating back into the air with some difficulty.

"Thunder gossip, thunder gossip..."

Talking about this extremely familiar move, and recalling the overbearing domineering energy unleashed by Orn and Yamato, Shiji finally couldn't suppress his curiosity:

"Little girl, what is your relationship with that boy Kaido?"

As far back as the Rocks Pirates, Shiki was already a well-known strong man. At that time, Kaido was just a little intern who didn't have the Blue Dragon Fruit and had to rely on his aunt's care to gain a foothold on the ship. Shiki Therefore, calling Kaido "boy" is not a big deal.

Facing this problem, Yamato can now look at it with a normal mind. She met Shiji's eyes and responded loudly and confidently:
"I am Kaido's daughter, and I am the one who must defeat him."

"Kaido's daughter..."

Shiji muttered, his eyes unconsciously looking at Aoun aside, and he felt more emotions in his heart.

This kind of combination had never appeared in their era, but the charm of being able to willingly let Kaido's daughter follow him is almost comparable to Roger's.

No wonder this kid is unwilling to become the second Golden Lion.

Shi Ji had never served anyone in his life. Even when he was under Rocks, he was at odds with the other party. There were more than 800 people in the boat with their own agenda.

But it was only after the Battle of Atvol that he was convinced by Roger.

It was not because of the sudden storm that Roger was determined to have destiny, but when Roger faced the siege of his fleet, his calm and unhurried heroism completely conquered him, making it impossible for him to lose even if he lost by coincidence. Feeling resentful - he knew he wouldn't have done any better than Roger in those circumstances.

This is why he refused to face reality after hearing that Roger surrendered and was executed by the navy.

Thinking like this, Shiji once again set his sights on Aoun.

He looked at Ornn carefully, as if he wanted to compare every detail of the young man in front of him with Roger.

After a long time, Shi Ji finally said:

"Boy, and the little girl over there, tell me your names."

When he said this, there was no contempt in his eyes, but a calmness as deep as an ancient well.

At this moment, he truly regarded the two as respectable opponents.

"Eric Orne."

"Yamato."

Facing Shiji's inquiry, Aoun and Yamato also showed corresponding respect.

Although they all know that this is destined to be a life-and-death battle, they are also willing to give the former legend corresponding dignity.

"I have written down your names." Shi Ji nodded seriously, and then made a move that was completely beyond the expectations of everyone present.

He slowly bent down and grasped the swords of "Ying Ju" and "Mu Ku" with both hands at his feet.

laugh!
As Shi Ji exerted force with his hands, the two broadswords that had been fixed at his feet for more than twenty years, and the hilts of which were almost integrated with flesh and blood, were forcefully pulled out by him.

The moment the two broad swords were pulled out, blood spurted out like a fountain, but even so, Shi Ji's expression remained as normal, without even a frown.

When he was in Impelton, he was able to "grind" his own feet with two knives without making any sound while being handcuffed with sea-floor stone and unable to exert any strength. To me, this kind of pain is nothing.

After grabbing the two swords still dripping with blood in his hands, he waved his fingers quite casually, and two balls of mud immediately blocked his legs that were still bleeding, and combined with his strong muscle control ability to stop the blood loss.

After completing all this, he weighed the two swords in his hands and said to Aoun and Yamato who had not recovered from the distance:
"It's been more than 20 years since I caught Ying Ju and Moku like this~. In order to deal with you, I have to use all my strength."

Shi Jihui said this, obviously admitting that he was not the opponent of Aoun and Yamato in the past.

But now...

Shi Ji held Muku tightly in his right hand, and the purple-black weapon-colored aura suddenly climbed up, briefly soaking Muku into a black knife.

Whoosh!
He grabbed the dark wood and swung it forward, and a black-gold flying slash that was not as big as before but more than twice as fast flew out, grazing Ornn's fluttering hair at high speed.

snort~
Wherever this flying slash passed, the ground beneath everyone's feet was cut straight into two pieces like a piece of paper. Not to mention the cluster of floating islands, even the sea surface a thousand meters below was cut into pieces by this one. The flying slash tore apart, and it was not until ten seconds later that the seawater surged back in, slowly filling up the broken gap.

Looking back, the crack that seemed to have no end was actually the result of Ornn swallowing his saliva unconsciously.

Even Hawkeye, who is regarded as the "world's greatest swordsman", can only do this kind of flying slash.It's hard to imagine how powerful the golden lion could create when he was young, with such a flying and slashing attack wrapped in overlord-colored domineering energy.

"Since you have forced me to this level, let me enjoy the experience of fighting, but be sure not to disappoint me."

Having said this, Shi Ji's figure grew a little taller under the influence of the Piao Piao Fruit, and casually... the two swords in his hands began to swing rapidly.

True. Lion Power. Senkiri Valley!
Looking at the black and gold flying slashes all over the sky, Aoun and Yamato felt their scalps go numb.

Without any verbal communication, the two people quickly dispersed, trying their best to avoid most of the flying slashes. At the same time, they mobilized their domineering energy to the maximum extent, trying to avoid or resist the black-gold flying slashes in their hands. The three tightly held weapons waved their afterimages in the air.

"It's fun and fun!"

Perhaps it had been too long since he had fought with both hands holding a sword. At this time, Shi Ji looked like a madman, waving his arms crazily as if he was tireless.

1 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes!

In the blink of an eye, 10 minutes had passed, and Shi Ji had already executed thousands of flying slashes.

If it were an ordinary swordsman, if he kept executing flying slashes like this, his arms would feel heavy and sore after less than a hundred strikes, and irreversible and permanent damage would be caused to the muscles after more than three hundred strikes.

But Shi Ji still showed no sign of stopping, and even waved faster. Ever since he pulled out Ying Ju and Mu Ku, the old man had not considered the follow-up at all!

"Jie hahahaha, have fun, have fun!"

Shiji laughed wildly, while Aoun and Yamato below were complaining in their hearts.

It was only then that they truly saw how terrifying the man who could be compared to Roger back then was.

Looking at each other in a tacit understanding during their busy schedules, the two of them immediately had an idea in their minds - they could no longer be beaten passively like this, even if they endured the pain of several stabs, they had to stop this old madman!
After making up their minds, the two of them immediately made a decision.

Blazing charge!

God feet. White snake drive!
The two of them were controlling their armed domineering energy to cover their entire bodies, each bursting out their fastest moves and rushing towards each other. They spontaneously stood side by side, just like the Tori and Brocki they had seen in the small garden before.

However, the action the two of them made together was not to dominate the country, but to open their mouths and spit out two breaths together.

No attendant Bingya!

The bellows are in flames!

Just like the combined attack against Jhin on the way to the Moby Dick, the moment the frost came into contact with the magma, a large amount of water vapor first erupted, and then exploded after the water vapor reached a certain level.

boom!
The power of this explosion was even greater than the move "Fa Po Le Heavy Death" that came with the droplet. The terrifying vibrations caused the entire floating island group to tremble violently.

In this violent tremor, the islands gathered together by the Piao Piao Fruit were shattered again, and the entire flying battleship was completely torn apart by the impact.

The previously stunned animals were killed and injured to an unknown extent. Even Robin and others were affected by the impact and vomited a large mouthful of blood.

In this violent impact, Aoun, Yamato and Shiji were naturally not spared, and their bodies were severely knocked away.

The bodies of Aoun and Yamato carved two deep ravines on the broken ground, and the skin on their backs was dripping with blood.

Compared to Aoun and Yamato, Shiji was obviously closer to the center of gravity of the explosion. Although he did not land, he was thrown up high at this time. The blood spitting out of his mouth was even mixed with some fragments of internal organs.

"It's alright."

After getting up from the ground with Mjolnir and Momo supported by both hands, Aoun immediately looked back at Yamato and asked.

"Don't worry, it's just a small injury."

Yamato smiled at Aoun, still looking full of energy.

Aoun felt a lot relieved when he saw this, and then turned around and tried to find Shiji's figure in the thick fog.

Whoosh!
A black-gold flying slash tore through the thick fog and struck where Ornn was.

Fortunately, Jianwense issued a warning one step in advance, and Aoun escaped this fatal flying slash in time.

Before Aoun could sigh with emotion at the usefulness of the information, he suddenly found that the ground beneath his feet was shaking violently. In this violent tremor, huge lion heads shot up from the ground - but the target of these lion heads was not he.

Whoosh whoosh!
Different from the slow movement like a turtle the first time he faced the "Jizuma", this time, the lion head's speed was several times faster, attacking Yamato in the distance like a real lion!
Because Yamato's attention was focused on Aoun, and because his emotional fluctuations affected the performance of his knowledge, he was unable to notice the abnormal movement on the ground in the first place.

By the time the lion's head was formed, it was no longer that easy to avoid it.

There were a huge number of lion heads, each of which was hundreds of meters in size. When they all swarmed towards Yamato, they directly sealed off all the spaces where she could dodge, trapping her in them.

"Yamato!"

Aoun rushed towards the lion heads that gathered together, but in the end he was a step too slow. He could only watch Yamato being swallowed up by the huge mouth.

snort~
Hot magma emerged from Ornn's palm. He was about to manipulate the magma and melt the thick rock formations to rescue Yamato. However, another flying slash struck from the distance, forcing him to interrupt this plan.

"If I let you rescue that little girl so easily, wouldn't it make me look useless?"

After reaching out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, Shi Ji looked at Aoun with an evil smile and said:
“I have to say that I am indeed getting old, and the strength of you two young people far exceeds my expectations.

But as a golden lion, I will never give victory to others easily, so... although it is not very glorious, I will still defeat you one by one like now.

As a reminder, my imperial scroll will compress the internal space little by little after forming an encirclement, until the prey trapped in it is squeezed to death.

So, if you want to save that little girl, try to defeat me before she is crushed to death. The premise is that you have this..."

Before Shi Ji could finish his words, a giant fist of magma struck him with lightning speed. He was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his swords to split it open, but was still burned by the splashing magma. Big bubble.

"Don't be chirping there, don't you just want to have a one-on-one relationship with me? I'll make it happen for you!"

As he spoke, Aoun rushed towards Shiji at top speed again...
