Akira closed his eyes gently, and a large amount of natural energy poured into his body from the sky and the earth.

"This is…"

As someone who trained haki to the extreme, Shiki is extremely sensitive to the airflow around him.

He felt as if a giant whirlpool appeared in Akira's body and started sucking a strange kind of energy from the air at terrifying speed.

And Akira was at the center of this whirlpool.

"Sage-Mode!"

"This is..." Shiki looked at Akira and asked in a deep voice: "Is this your fruit ability?"

"Flying Raijin Jutsu: Leaping Fire Sword!"

Akira appeared in front of Shiki suddenly and slashed his shuriken at him.

The red sword energy hit Shiki's chest instantly, and some blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

But he used Armament Haki to protect his body at the last moment, so his injuries weren't that bad.

Shiki wiped his mouth and said angrily: "Nice attack, but if you want to kill me, that's far from enough!"

Akira was silent for a moment, and then he said: "Since that's the case, then I will kill you in a way that is worthy of your name."

Shiki lit a new cigar and put it in his mouth as he floated in midair.

"Kid, you are very strong! Even in my prime, I wouldn't dare to say that I am stronger than you. Tell me your name!"

Shiki wasn't bragging about himself when he said that. In his prime, he fought with many powerful and famous pirates and marines like Roger, Whitebeard, Garp …etc.

The Whitebeard that he fought wasn't the old and injured Whitebeard, but it was the Whitebeard in his heyday.

"?"

Akira stopped and tilted his head to look at Shiki.

"Do you have something to say?"

"Nothing, just thinking of my old rivals of the previous era."

Shiki let out a sad sigh, and then his face became serious: "Come on, let's fight with all our strength!"

"But this time, use all your strength. I may be old and injured… but I'm Shiki, the Golden Lion!" Shiki shouted angrily.

Then he flew toward Akira at extremely fast speed and then slashed his swords at him.

Akira quickly stepped back and instantly opened up a distance between them using Flying Raijin Jutsu.

His right hand clenched on the Seastone shuriken. In the next second, he disappeared from Shiki's eyesight.

Akira's sudden disappearance surprised him a little, so he quickly used his Observation Haki, and it quickly covered spread all around like a radar: "Behind...!"

Shiki sensed Akira's breath behind him, so he quickly slashed his sword with his backhand.

But before he could feel the joy of success, he was blasted away by Akira's strength.

"I was careless." Shiki adjusted his body in the air using his fruit ability.

"Damn! What kind of devil fruit did this guy eat?! It actually has space-related ability!"

"It's a bit tricky. This guy's teleportation speed is faster than the Glint-Glint Fruit!"

Without giving Shiki any time to come up with a solution, Akira used Flying Raijin again.

"I don't have time to think, so let's defend first!" Shiki put one of his swords in front of him as a shield. The other one was pointed at Akira.

"I can't be wrong this time..." Just as Shiki was about to attack Akira, the space around him distorted a little bit.

"His ability can interfere with the surrendering space?!" Shiki was shocked by Akira's Sage-Mode.

Suddenly, a red slash shot from the sky. Shiki instinctively moved the sword in his right hand to block it.

The powerful sword energy was shattered instantly, but Shiki's face didn't look happy: "If he attacks me now, I can't dodge!"

Shiki guessed it right because almost at the same time as the sword energy was smashed, Akira's figure suddenly appeared below him and then slashed his shuriken at him.

Hiss!

Blood splattered into the air!

Shiki covered his body with Armament Haki so that he could defend against Akira's attack.

But, it is impossible to resist an attack of this level completely.

Shiki has no time for confusion or pain because his abdomen muscle contracted and shrunk around the shuriken, which clamped it tightly: "Now, it's my turn!"

Shiki's right hand quickly touched the shuriken, and then he relaxed his abdomen muscles.

Akira pulled his shuriken from his abdomen and quickly retreated away.

The wound on Shiki's lower abdomen was so deep that the internal organs were almost visible.

"So your plan is your fruit ability, right?" Akira asked.

"It seems your fighting IQ isn't low."

"I can control the things I touch to a certain extent."

Shiki didn't care about the wound in the lower abdomen at all and laughed loudly:

"Your weapon belongs to me now!"

The Seastone shuriken in Akira's hand was shaking violently as if wants to fly out.

"It's indeed a little troublesome."

"Shiki, it has been more than ten years since you escaped from the Impel Down. Don't you think it's a little boring to hide here all the time?"

After seeing Shiki's strength with his eyes, Akira had a new idea at this time.

"Oh? Could it be that you want to recruit me?" Shiki took a deep breath of the cigar and sneered.

"So, what do you think?" Akira asked.

"Defeat me first, and then we will talk about it!"

"If that's the case, then..."

As soon as Akira said that, he disappeared again.

.…

"So fast!" Shiki's pupils shrank, and he instinctively swung his swords horizontally.

Crimson chakra burst out of Akira's body, and a huge Susanoo appeared on the sea surface.

Shock!

"What the hell is this?"

Shiki frowned because through his Observation Haki, he was constantly receiving dangerous signals from Susanoo's body.

The crimson-red Sword of Totsuka in Susanoo's right hand clashed against Shiki's swords.

"Boom!"

The surrendering sea turned into furious tides and hit the close pirates. And Shiki has blasted away again.

"Speed and strength are above me, or rather, his body outbreak is far stronger than mine! " Shiki stabilized his body and thought in shock: "The terrifying increase in power. Is it a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit?"

Shiki licked his lips, narrowed his eyes, and said: "Your power reminded me of an annoying old guy, marine hero, Garp. "

Akira looked at him and said with amazement: "He's terrifying. Even in this physical condition, he still blocked my attack."

"As expected of a legendry pirate who had almost suppressed Roger!"

"Are you making fun of me?" Shiki was furious when he heard Roger's name.

"I'll ask this for the last time. Are you interested in joining forces with me?"

Standing at the top of Susanoo's head, Akira asked in a deep and serious voice.
