Chapter 281 Taking Down the Golden Lion
"Such powerful Armament Haki!"
"It's actually comparable to Conqueror's Haki!"
"In this world, there are probably very few people who can surpass Barrett in the mastery of Armament Haki!"
"The three types of Haki each have their own focus, and they all come from the power of 'life'. Conqueror's Haki is not the strongest power."
"Don't assume that just because there are few people who have awakened Conqueror's Haki, Conqueror's Haki is stronger than Armament Haki."
"The ultimate Armament Haki is absolutely no less powerful than Conqueror's Haki!"
···
On the Ark Maxim, Roger, Issho, Yamato, Kuma, and Aramaki were expressing their strong affirmation of Barrett's Armament Haki.
Perhaps only Garp, the naval hero famous for his iron fist, can surpass Barrett in the mastery of Armament Haki.
Even Luo Ji now admits that he is no match for Barrett, who has a talent for Armament Haki!
However, Barrett is only skilled in Armament Haki, and is somewhat lacking in Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki.
But this skill alone is enough to place Barrett in the top tier.
Less than half an hour into the clash between Barrett and the Golden Lion, Luo Ji's expression changed.
"If the fighting continues, the Golden Lion will be gone."
"Barrett! That's enough! Don't kill the Golden Lion!"
With a red light flashing in his eyes, Luo Ji decisively rushed down, and Yi Xiao quickly followed.
And perched on the bear's shoulder was Mansherry, part of the ever-ready medical team, ready to rescue the Golden Lion at any moment.
At this moment, Shiki the Golden Lion was panting heavily, his face covered with bloodstains from his head and the ship's rudder, making him look extremely ferocious.
But this bloody sight also resembles the end of the old lion king's life, evoking a sense of desolate farewell.
"Hahaha, Golden Lion, I'd also like to give you a spectacular death."
"But there's nothing I can do, Luo Ji won't allow you to die here."
After Barrett's final punch sent Shiki the Golden Lion flying, he stopped moving.
He could sense that the Golden Lion was on its last legs and no longer had the strength to be his opponent.
"Why! Why!"
Shiki the Golden Lion was like a madman; he couldn't accept his failure once again.
This time, he was defeated before he even saw the opposing leader.
This is even more upsetting than when we faced that inexplicable storm from the Roger Pirates back then.
He, the Golden Lion Shiki, had experienced this kind of treatment before.
Even Roger had to take him seriously when he met him.
Why does Luo Ji, this junior, look down on him so much?
In his anger and resentment, the blood in Shiki the Golden Lion's head flowed faster and faster, and his consciousness began to blur.
The islands suddenly began to shake violently.
This scene terrified Dr. Indigo and a large number of captains of affiliated pirate crews, causing them to panic.
If the Golden Lion falls, they will probably all perish with it.
"Golden Lion! It's not time for you to die yet."
Luo Ji rushed towards Shiki the Golden Lion, grabbed Shiki's shoulder, and casually blocked Shiki's weak counterattack. He even directly pulled Sakura and Kokushi from Shiki's feet.
The intense pain caused the golden lion to roar, and his consciousness returned somewhat.
But this worsened the Golden Lion's injuries and caused further turmoil on more than a dozen islands.
Seeing that Luo Ji had already caught the Golden Lion, Yi Xiao stopped paying attention to the Golden Lion and used his gravity ability to stabilize several nearby islands that were shaking.
"You little rascal!"
Shiki the Golden Lion glared fiercely at Luo Ji, who had just appeared, his eyes filled with rage.
Unfortunately, he didn't have much time left, otherwise he really would have fought Luo Ji to the death.
His grand plan to destroy the world with ferocious beasts also failed.
"I know you're unwilling to accept this, but don't worry, you won't die!"
With a wave of Luo Ji's hand, Da Xiong and Man Shirley teleported over and quickly provided emergency treatment to Shiki the Golden Lion's injured head and legs, keeping the old lion alive.
As treatment progressed, the swaying islands gradually stabilized.
This silenced all the beasts, chiropractors, and captains of affiliated pirate crews, who all looked as if they had escaped death.
"You want to tame me? Or do you want my peerless beast?!"
Shiki the Golden Lion's vital signs had just stabilized when he angrily questioned Luo Ji.
"You're overthinking it. You and your bunch of useless beasts don't seem to be that important."
Luo Ji directly put a sea stone collar around the neck of Shiki the Golden Lion, and glanced indifferently at the still arrogant Shiki the Golden Lion.
Shiki the Golden Lion's reaction gave Luo Ji a sense of intimidation, like snatching a rotten rat from the jaws of a hawk.
Luo Ji really didn't care about the evolved beasts that the Golden Lion had spent twenty years developing; they were just toys for Xiao Yu.
It's somewhat useful, but not much.
Yi Xiao sensed that Luo Ji was using Seastone on the Golden Lion, and quickly used his ability to stabilize most of the islands.
They were terrified that these islands might suddenly collapse, killing countless lives.
Fortunately, being restricted by Seastone is different from losing consciousness; the effects of the Float-Float Fruit power still remain.
These islands did not fall.
The Float-Float Fruit's power is just such a bug.
The Pirate Empress's Love-Love Fruit ability is even more unstoppable; even if the user is killed, the petrification ability will not be removed.
"Then what do you mean by coming after me?!"
When the Golden Lion heard Luo Ji call the beast he regarded as a treasure a bunch of trash, he became even angrier.
"Since you look down on my beasts, then destroy them all!"
Under Luo Ji's disdainful gaze, Shiki the Golden Lion, his blood boiling, suddenly used the rudder on his head to ram the bear, seemingly trying to knock him unconscious and drag the islands and beasts down with him.
Especially those traitorous captains, they all have to die.
"childish!"
Luo Ji, who was keeping a close eye on the Golden Lion, grabbed the Golden Lion and shoved a large tranquilizer into its body.
"You're not allowed to faint or die!"
"Everything you have is my spoils!"
Even if I don't want it, you can't destroy it!
Luo Ji then gave Shiki the Golden Lion another pair of Seastone handcuffs, rendering the unruly old man unable to move.
Completely powerless, Shiki the Golden Lion was unable to activate his Float-Float Fruit ability, let alone move his body; only his eyeballs could still move slightly.
But his mind was perfectly clear!
"Alright! Now it's your adventure time!"
"Xiaoyu, go and tame some ferocious beasts to be your pets."
Luo Ji carried the half-dead Golden Lion back to Ark Proverb, and sent Yamato, Bonnie, Tama, Rebecca and the others to conquer these floating islands.
He also sent Aramaki, Issho, Crocodile, Enel, Hanafzai, and the others to deal with the members under Shiki's command and the captains of his affiliated pirate crews.
Including scientific researchers and meteorologists
As Barrett reflected on and summarized the gains from this battle, his Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki were significantly enhanced.
Luo Ji collected Shiki the Golden Lion's blood in a special test tube.
Have Big Bear send all the blood and genes of the various ability users he has collected recently back to Zou Island.
Instruct Dr. Vegapunk to quickly initiate the cloning project and extract the Paramecia-type green blood.
