Chapter 445

"Exactly...That's what I said."

The Golden Lion, who was holding a cigar between his teeth, exhaled large puffs of smoke and said coldly, looking at the Yeruashi below.

Although Shiki had never met Yeruashi before, he was certainly able to recognize his identity at a glance.

One of them!

A traveler!!

There are not many people on the expanses of the sea who deserve to be remembered by Shiki, but Yeruashi was certainly one of those people!

Destroyed the headquarters of the Marine Patrol!

Destroyed the Holy Land of Marijoa!

It was because of these actions of the Traveler that Shiki decided to return to once again dominate the expanses of the sea!

The Golden Lion looked at Yeruashi in silence for a while, and then suddenly grinned: "I can certainly take back my words, but only on one condition...become my right hand, Yeruashi!"

He stretched out his hand in the direction of Yeruashi and enthusiastically squeezed the empty air with his palm: "By joining forces, we can overthrow the World Government! We will become the masters of this world!!"

After these words of the Golden Lion, absolute silence reigned.

The numerous East Blue pirates who were on the decks of the ships in the sky looked suspiciously at the Yeruashi below.

"To be honored to receive such a loud invitation from the boss of the Golden Lion...who is this guy anyway?!"

"He seems to be one of the great pirates of the Grand Line..."

One of the pirates suddenly remembered something when he got a better look at Yeruashi's face below, and nervously swallowed his saliva: "If I'm not confusing anything, then his reward exceeds ... three billion belli!"

There was silence again, followed by many loud shouts.

The pirates nearby looked at the Yeruashi below with disbelief: "Hey, hey! Three billion?! This is too much even for a stupid joke..."

Currently, East Blue was no longer the weakest of the four seas, due to the influence of the Golden Lion, but with the exception of Shiki himself, the highest bounties for the heads of East Blue pirates barely exceeded 40 million belli.

The gap between 40 million and 3 billion is so large that it goes far beyond the imagination of the East Blue pirates.

What kind of power should be contained in the body of this young man, since such a reward is given for his head?!

Kuina and the rest of the people standing on the shore could not hear the pirates ' conversations in the sky, but this did not prevent them from realizing that Yeruashi was not an ordinary person at all!

This weak-looking young man deserved such a solemn attitude from the Golden Lion!

Even Aokiji, who showed fantastic strength by instantly freezing a huge area of the sea, was noticeably worse against his background!

Then what kind of power does he have?!

Now, Kuina finally understood why Yeruashi didn't care at all about the appearance of the Golden Lion on this island from the very beginning.

It wasn't that Yeruashi didn't realize the Golden Lion's terror, but he was just such a terrifying figure himself!

Accompanied by the stunned and doubtful looks of numerous people, Yeruashi looked at the Golden Lion in the sky and calmly said: "I refuse."

«...»

The Golden Lion paused for a moment, and then slightly tilted his head and asked imperiously: "Don't you want to rule the world?!"

"I'm not interested in something like that."

Yeruashi replied indifferently.

He had already been the ruler of the Naruto world, so now he did not feel any interest in something like this.

Perhaps in the future he will want to be a king, an emperor or someone like that, but definitely not in this world.

The Golden Lion's face darkened.

He slowly lowered his hand, which had been clenched into a fist, and turned to Yeruashi: "Just like Roger...I have never been able to understand such people..."

Shiki glanced at Aokiji nearby and narrowed his eyes, looking back at Yeruashi: "You wouldn't fall to the point of helping the Marine Patrol, would you?"

Yeruashi smiled wryly and stepped forward, pulling Muramas ' demonic blade out of its scabbard.

His figure rose smoothly into the air, stopping right in front of the Golden Lion: "Don't get me wrong, Shiki."

"I was looking for you to...practice my swordsmanship."

Although the Golden Lion is no longer at its peak and the times when he could fight on equal terms with Garp and Belous without taking a single step back are long gone, but from the previous impulse, it can be judged that he is still an extremely strong swordsman.

Therefore, Shiki barely had the qualifications to become a grindstone for Yeruashi, who had relatively recently broken through to the level of a great sword master.

If we talk about using a wide-range attack, then it's quite simple to find a suitable place for this, but as for attacks on a single target, then for a full-fledged application, of course, you need a sufficiently strong opponent.

Otherwise, Yeruashi will look like a Hawkeye who used a penknife to tease Zoro.

Such a thing will only cause laughter, without any real impulse.

The Golden Lion looked coldly at the Yeruashi opposite: "It looks like you want to...I killed you right here."

Phew!!

In the next instant, Shiki abruptly swung his right leg in the direction of Yeruashi.

"Shishi!"

Accompanied by the cry of the Golden Lion, the Meito Otho attached to his leg emitted a bright golden glow that took the form of a giant slash.

Phew!!

A huge golden slash cut through the air, rushing towards Yeruashi with incredible speed, it seemed that it was going to cut the entire island into two parts with him!

The power of the great sword master was revealed in the first attack of the Golden Lion!

This majestic golden slash shocked Zoro and Quina, who were nearby.

They felt only weakness and insignificance when faced with such a majestic slash!

Although Zoro and Kuina were geniuses capable of defeating the adult swordsmen of their dojo at the age of ten, there was an unimaginable gap between them and the top of the sword path!

Phew!

Yeruashi only smiled wryly when faced with this Golden Lion attack, and calmly swung his blade.

He didn't use the power of the six paths, the illusory clock, or anything like that, but only the pure sword skill acquired in the world of Van Pease.

Klang!!!

With a swing of Yeruashi's blade, a huge blue slash appeared in front of him, colliding with Shiki's huge golden slash.

Boom!

After a short collision, accompanied by a screeching and crackling, a strong explosion thundered.

It was obvious to the naked eye that Yeruashi's blue slash was slightly larger and denser than Shiki's golden slash.

After the destruction of the golden slash, the remnants of the blue slash still flew to Shiki.

Yeruashi was not superior to the Golden Lion in the skill of the sword.

He had just recently broken through to the level of a great sword master and could not compare with the Golden Lion, who had been at this level for many years, but Shiki lost his legs and replaced them with his blades!

Although this did not prevent Shiki from displaying the power of a great sword master, it is still less effective than normal fencing with his hands.

Phew!!

Shiki swung his leg, scattering the remnants of Yeruashi's blue slash.

He became very gloomy, beginning to realize that he was most likely not an opponent to the Traveler in his current state.

But in the dictionary of the Golden Lion, as one of the three legends of the past era, which stood on the same level as the Golden Roger and Belous, there was no word 'retreat'!

"Shishi! Senjindani!!"

Shiki roared furiously, starting to swing his two legs rapidly.

Phew! Phew! Phew!!

A dense stream of huge golden slashes rushed towards Yeruashi like a storm.
