chapter 64

"Hello, is it Golden Lion Shiki?" Mu Feng asked with a smile. His golden hair, reaching the ground, resembled a lion's mane, and he had a rudder on his head. In fact, Mu Feng didn't need to ask; he already knew it was Shiki.

"Marine Admiral!?" Golden Lion squinted slightly, his eyes showing a cold gleam.

The Admiral's epaulettes, Golden Lion would never forget.

Crossing his arms and looking at Mu Feng, Golden Lion said, "Yes, I am the Golden Lion! And who are you!? A Marine Admiral... Hehe, the Marine is truly improving. They've actually let a mere boy take charge. Admiral, have you even been weaned yet? Boy... hahahaha."

Although the young man in front of him was able to silently appear behind him, Golden Lion was surprised. But he wasn't afraid. Golden Lion had traversed the seas his entire life, and he had even dared to confront the Naval Headquarters alone.

Just a Marine Admiral couldn't intimidate him!

Furthermore, Mu Feng's Devil Fruit powers were peculiar; he might just be a capable individual. Moreover, looking at Mu Feng, who hadn't even grown hair yet, Golden Lion couldn't bring himself to pay attention to him.

"Monkey D. Mu Feng... 17 years old this year," Mu Feng said casually, showing no signs of irritation.

"Seventeen years old!?" Golden Lion's eyes widened upon hearing Mu Feng's words. But then he burst into wild laughter. "Hahahaha... Seventeen years old!? You're still a baby... Sengoku didn't seem to have joined the Marines when she was seventeen. And yet, you became an Admiral at such a young age. The Marines truly have no successors. But that's alright, the weaker the Marines, the less they can hinder my plans. And what's your relationship with that bastard Garp!?"

"The old man is my grandfather..." Mu Feng replied, smiling at Golden Lion.

"Really? Then if I kill you, that old bastard Garp will be heartbroken. Garp, that bastard, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been imprisoned in the Great Undersea Prison, nor would I have lost my legs," Golden Lion gritted his teeth.

"That's because you're foolish," Mu Feng retorted without hesitation. "Even Whitebeard wouldn't dare to infiltrate the Naval Headquarters alone. If it weren't for your Lion Fruit powers, you wouldn't have been able to fight for three days and three nights. The old man could have made you surrender in no time."

In Mu Feng's eyes, Golden Lion was nothing more than a disabled man.

He had rushed to the Naval Headquarters after Roger's arrest... and foolishly went alone. The most absurd thing was that if he couldn't win, he could have simply escaped. With his Lion Fruit powers, he could have flown thousands of meters high, and the Marines would never have caught up to him even if they exhausted themselves.

"What did you say!? I'm not as good as that old bastard Garp!? Little brat... you've really angered me. I was just going to cause trouble for the Marines. Jiejie... Let's start with you then," Golden Lion's face turned fierce.

Suddenly, Golden Lion's feet... or rather, the two famous knives tied to his legs.

It had to be said that Golden Lion was truly ruthless towards himself.

In order to escape from the Great Undersea Prison, he had directly cut off his own legs. After removing the seastone shackles, he managed to escape from the prison. According to Mu Feng's perspective... in the future, the prisoners held in the Great Undersea Prison should wear stone handcuffs around their necks. If they had the ability, they could cut their own necks. If they could escape, Mu Feng promised not to pursue them.

The two famous knives under Golden Lion's feet slightly grazed the ground.

He attacked Mu Feng. As the former captain of the Golden Lion Pirates, the most powerful pirate crew in the entire pirate world, Golden Lion Shiki's weapons were befitting of his status.

Sakura Ten, Dead Wood!

They were two of the twelve Supreme Sharp Knives.

When they sliced through the air, there was no sound... showcasing the sharpness of the two famous knives. The tips of the knives aimed for Mu Feng's throat!

"Great knives!" Mu Feng's eyes lit up involuntarily as he couldn't help but exclaim.

In his heart, Mu Feng had already claimed those two knives as his own.

Drawing the Mammoth's Blade from his waist, he stood his ground and clashed against Golden Lion's knives. A dreadful storm erupted... sweeping in all directions. Although Mu Feng was skilled, he couldn't deny that Golden Lion was also a formidable swordsman.

And engaging in a battle with a skilled swordsman was exactly what Mu Feng had been looking forward to the most.

Because only by absorbing enough experience points could his Swordsmanship level of 8,000 break through the third limit and become even more terrifying.

Ding, Qiang... The two swords clashed multiple times.

Mu Feng deliberately held back his sword skills, keeping them on par with Golden Lion. His pupils had transformed into the Three Tomoe Sharingan, and he began to analyze and recreate Golden Lion's swordsmanship!

Every move, every technique... as long as Golden Lion employed them.

The next second, Mu Feng would learn them, but he didn't demonstrate Golden Lion's swordsmanship right away. Golden Lion was highly suspicious, and his strength wasn't solely reliant on swordsmanship. If Mu Feng immediately used Golden Lion's ultimate move, it would inevitably raise suspicion. Golden Lion might cease using swordsmanship altogether and instead rely on his Devil Fruit powers to fight. Mu Feng didn't want that to happen; he needed to maximize Golden Lion's potential.

"Lion Slash Wave!"

Golden Lion suddenly kicked out a golden sword aura, aiming it at Mu Feng!

In response, Mu Feng swung his sword, releasing a pale white sword aura to meet it!

The two sword auras collided! There was a deafening roar as the sword auras intertwined, slicing through the island beneath their feet!

"Not bad, kid. You managed to withstand my attack! You do have some strength. But that's all. Next... you will die for me," Golden Lion declared. Then, he continuously unleashed slashes towards Mu Feng using his double legs.

"Lion: Thousand Slice Valley!"

As the words left his mouth, Golden Lion kicked out a sky full of golden sword auras. The dazzling golden shades outshone even the brilliance of the sky, as if the heavens were pouring forth gold.
