Chapter 227 VS Golden Lion

"Then go ahead and give it a try. Now, take a good look at the strength of those big pirates and update their information in a timely manner."

After hearing what He said, Ganggu Kong rubbed his brows and said.

Their navy has no power to recruit experts from the member states, after all, the member states are their protection objects.

In Arena No. 1 on the 17th floor of the Fighting Pyramid, Golden Lion and Li Yuan stood opposite each other, looking at each other solemnly.

"Golden Lion, when I was in the Rocks Pirates, you beat me up when you were just promoted to the Great Sword Master. I'm going to get my revenge this time, don't blame me for being ruthless!!"

Li Yuan couldn't help but think of the last time he fought with the Golden Lion, which seemed to be a long time ago.

"Hahahaha, Li Yuan, you were the one who begged me to abuse you, not me who wanted to abuse you!"

"By the way, didn't you say you owed me a favor? Why, now you still don't plan to pay it back?"

The Golden Lion seemed to have remembered this incident as well, and also recalled the favor that Li Yuan had promised him. But now, he hadn't received a single favor.

"Why are you so anxious? What I, Li Yuan, have said is like spilled water. It will always count. If I say I owe you a favor, then I owe you a favor. When the time is right, I will naturally pay it back!"

"Now let me get back my original position first!"

Li Yuan curled his lips.

At first he was still weak and needed Golden Lion and others to practice with him so that he could grow up as quickly as possible, but since he owed them a favor, he would naturally remember it.

"The Infinite Sword Breaking Through the Air!"

As he spoke, Li Yuan suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of the Golden Lion, with the Seven Star Sword unsheathed. Among the people present, only those with top combat power could clearly see Li Yuan's movement of drawing the sword.

"Cross Chikiri Valley!"

The moment the Golden Lion double swords held by Sakuraju and Muku crossed, the dark armed color covered the sword body, and a brilliant cross was chopped out. The sharp chop caused huge cracks even on the extremely hard ground.

However, such a sharp cross attack was easily broken by Li Yuan, and the Seven Star Sword went on to chop off the Golden Lion's neck.

However, when the Seven Star Sword was about to attack, the Golden Lion retracted his sword and blocked Li Yuan's attack.

"Li Yuan, are you looking down on me? How come you only showed one of your three sword powers?"

The Golden Lion swung the Seven-Star Sword with all his might, deflecting it, and then roared like a mad lion. Sakuragi and Mu Ku then attacked frantically.

If the golden lion with floating fruits was a ghost lion like a phantom in the sky, then the golden lion today is like a wild land lion, wild and radical when it attacks with a sword.

"Hahahaha, Golden Lion, since you want to be tortured, I will grant your wish!"

Seeing the angry Golden Lion, Li Yuan forced it back and laughed loudly. The Wuji Sword Will, Xuelu Sword Will and Haiyuan Sword Will on his body rose up at the same time.

The next moment, the three sword intents merged together perfectly, forming the Yin-Yang Fish that looked like the Yin-Yang Tai Chi.

The Wuji Sword Intent accommodates the Blood Slaughter Sword Intent and the Abyss Sword Intent, allowing the three sword intents to maintain a perfect balance, breaking the record that no great swordsman in the world of One Piece could use two sword intents at the same time.

At this moment, the Golden Lion stopped attacking, and all the swordsmen around the arena held their breath, looking at Li Yuan with fiery eyes.

Especially those great sword masters, they all wanted to see something from Li Yuan, why Li Yuan could use three kinds of sword intent at the same time, but they couldn't even use two kinds of sword intent at the same time!

"The Secret of the Three Elements in One: Blood Dragon Slashes the Sky!"

The three kinds of sword intent circulated and merged into the body of the Seven Star Sword. As the blood dragon circled, incomparably powerful sword intent burst out.

The sword swung out, and a blood dragon rushed into the sky!

"Lion's Might - Chikiri-dani!"

Although it did not have the power of the floating fruit, relying on the power of sword intent, the moment the Golden Lion double swords chopped down, it still formed a huge lion sword.

However, the blood dragon formed by the fusion of three sword intents easily broke through the Golden Lion's attack, and even crashed into the Golden Lion's sword, knocking it onto the iron wall at the edge of the arena.

The wall of the fighting arena on the 17th floor has an additional five-meter-thick solid steel wall compared to the 16th floor, in order to prevent the fighting arena from being breached.

"Hahahahaha, come again, come again!!"

Even with just one sword, Golden Lion could clearly sense that Li Yuan was stronger than he was now. However, he did not get discouraged by this, but instead took the lead in attacking.

Ever since he ate the Piao Piao Fruit, he seldom engaged in head-on battles with the enemy. Instead, he relied on the power of the Piao Piao Fruit to gain air superiority, flexibly dodge the enemy's attacks, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

But it was this kind of fighting style that made it difficult for him to make any progress in swordsmanship.

After all, the swordsman's swordsmanship is about moving forward courageously and cutting through everything. No matter how strong the enemy is, he can kill him with the sword in his hand.

The Golden Lion is now aware of this problem, so during the New World War, he used John and Ward to hone his swordsmanship.

Now he is using the sword competition to continue to hone his sword spirit and make it stronger!

The Golden Lion will not give up his advantage of floating fruit, but he is also seriously making up for his shortcomings, or making himself stronger, because if he wants to realize his ambition, he needs to become stronger, at least not worse than Rocks!

"Golden Lion, I will repay you for all the abuse you have done to me!"

Seeing Golden Lion like this, Li Yuan already knew what Golden Lion was thinking. Just like when he was still a sword master, he asked Golden Lion to be a sparring partner to hone his swordsmanship. Golden Lion now wanted Li Yuan to be his whetstone.

"The Secret of the Three Elements Combining into One - The Blood Moon Soars to the Sky!"

A blood-red crescent moon appeared above the battlefield, and in the blink of an eye, a bloody shadow flashed by.

Li Yuan's figure flew along with the blood shadow, and the Seven Star Sword instantly appeared in front of the Golden Lion.

"Lion's Might - Dragon Scroll!"

The Golden Lion attacked with both swords in an instant, trying to block the power of the Seven Star Sword, but the next moment, he was blasted away again by the incomparably powerful force of the Seven Star Sword.

"Ahem, the three sword powers are truly powerful!"

The Golden Lion wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, forced a smile, stood up and attacked again.

He admitted that without the use of the Piao Piao Fruit, he was no match for Li Yuan, but this made him even more excited.

It has been a long time since Golden Lion encountered an opponent he couldn't beat. This feeling only appeared when he was in the Rocks Pirates.

The fight between Li Yuan and Golden Lion continued, and everyone present could see that Golden Lion was being severely suppressed by Li Yuan.

"It looks like the Golden Lion is going to lose!"

"Humph, this is just because of the rules. The Golden Lion did not use the power of the fruit. Otherwise, how could the Golden Lion be suppressed!"

"Well, it's fine if they didn't use the fruit ability, but why didn't they use Conqueror Haki?"

"You are stupid. This is a kendo competition. They are competing in kendo, not Haki. Haven't you noticed that they rarely use even the Mukō Haki? At most, they use it to strengthen the sword, and they almost never use it for defense."

"I see. I was wondering if those great sword masters weren't as powerful as they used to be. Now that's the truth!"

"."

Many spectators present were shocked and talked a lot when they saw the arrogant Golden Lion being suppressed by Li Yuan.

However, neither Li Yuan nor Golden Lion cares what those people say.

Now, Golden Lion only wants to rely on his swordsmanship to break the situation where he is being abused by Li Yuan.

Li Yuan wanted to use this crushing method to avenge the abuse he suffered at the hands of the Golden Lion. After all, who made Li Yuan a vengeful person?

Although he asked for it, he was embarrassed now. To prevent Golden Lion from bragging about it, he decided to get back at him!

While Li Yuan was fighting Golden Lion, the other three groups were fighting at the same time: Red Earl vs. Rayleigh, Roger vs. Silver Axe, and Wang Zhi vs. Yuan Liusai Shigekuni.

"Rayleigh, this is our second battle."

The Red Earl turned into a streak of light and slashed at Rayleigh with an umbrella sword in his hand.

"This is indeed our second battle, and you have become much stronger than before."

Rayleigh held Griffin solemnly to block the Red Earl's umbrella sword.

"Hahahaha, I was disrupted by Roger at first and the outcome was decided. I will definitely defeat you this time, and then I will challenge that guy Li Yuan!"

The Red Earl flashed behind Rayleigh at ghostly speed and slashed with the sword again.

"Come on, let me see if you have what it takes!"

Rayleigh sensed something unusual behind him with his Observation Haki and dodged the sword.

I only saw the sword wave hitting the ground and rushing towards the wall with terrifying power. With the power of the Red Earl, this sword is likely to split the wall in half!

At the critical moment, Qingjiao appeared in front of the wall, and the armed color domineering was integrated into the wall, reinforcing the wall, so that the sword only cut through the steel door of the wall to a depth of several tens of centimeters.

Between each fight, Li Yuan arranged two people to prevent the wall from being overwhelmed by the aftermath of the fight. The combination of the Armament Haki and the already indestructible wall was enough to stop the aftermath of the fight!

Silver Axe was a great swordsman, but his weapon was an axe. In order to participate in this swordsmanship competition, he deliberately replaced the giant axe with a giant sword.

It's just that his swordsmanship is not very strong, even weaker than Wang Zhi, so he is naturally no match for Roger.

However, during the battle between Wang Zhi and Yuan Liusai Shigekuni, he was somewhat surprised because Yuan Liusai Shigekuni used the elemental sword intent, which emitted flames like the natural system that burned fruits.

The powerful sword will turned into a terrifying flame that could burn even his chopping blow.

It's a pity that Yuan Liusai Shigekuni is now in his forties, a little young, and his sword power has not been tempered enough, so he was eventually defeated by Wang Zhi.
