Chapter 212: Shiki the Golden Lion, Fully Restored!
Ten Thousand Meters High
Shiki floated above the sea of clouds, staring blankly at the tragic battlefield below—
The beast tide he had painstakingly planned for decades was dismantled so easily by a few young Marine juniors, reduced to scattered corpses and wreckage.
In his trembling pupils, unspeakable confusion and anger surfaced.
"My plan... my ambition..."
He clenched his fists tightly, teeth almost shattering, before suddenly erupting into a hysterical roar:
"IF NOT FOR THIS DAMN STEERING WHEEL!!!"
Along with the roar, he clutched his head violently. The wound from the steering wheel embedded in his skull for years throbbed with excruciating pain again. Blood trickled down his forehead, blurring his vision.
Roy hovered quietly beside him, watching silently, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
Defeating a physically and mentally crippled former overlord was meaningless.
A moment later, his gaze refocused, and he spoke slowly: "Shiki, let's make a deal."
Shiki shuddered abruptly upon hearing this, looking up to stare blankly at Roy. "What... did you say?"
Roy slowly raised his right hand, spatial power flowing endlessly at his fingertips, and said softly:
"I'll help you remove this steering wheel..."
His gaze gradually heated up, revealing pure battle intent:
"And you, show me—"
"The true strength of an overlord from Roger's era!"
Shiki's eyes trembled violently instantly, staring deathly at Roy, his heart full of doubt and vigilance.
What is this brat planning?
However, facing his scrutiny, Roy's expression was calm, his gaze clear and pure. There was no deception or conspiracy, only a burning desire for battle.
"Defeating Whitebeard... actually didn't give me any real satisfaction."
Roy said calmly, "He was already too bound by so-called 'family,' plus Teach's betrayal shattered his spirit. He didn't even display seventy percent of his strength!"
His gaze suddenly turned cold, Haki erupting like a volcano instantly:
"What I want is to fight fair and square—to slaughter an overlord of the old era!!!"
This voice echoed through the clouds like a bell, striking deep into Shiki's soul.
Shiki fell silent for a long time upon hearing this. His eyes were first filled with uncertainty, then gradually transformed into fiery battle intent. His mouth grinned open, revealing an extremely wild smile.
He threw his head back and laughed loudly: "JIHAHAHA!!! Interesting, truly interesting!!!"
"Brat, you will pay the price for this decision!!!"
Before his voice faded, Roy had teleported in front of Shiki.
His right hand, covered in spatial power, pressed firmly on the steering wheel.
The next instant—
"SWISH—!!!"
With a slight spatial tremor, the steering wheel deeply embedded in Shiki's skull for decades was perfectly removed from the top of his head!
Following the momentum, the two swords were also teleported out of his legs. Spatial power quickly sealed the wounds to stop the bleeding, and the intense pain vanished instantly.
And in this instant, memories of past glory flooded into Shiki's mind like a tide—
The Battle of Edd War,
On the turbulent sea, his swords clashed fiercely with Pirate King Roger's, the collision of Conqueror's Haki shaking heaven and earth, tearing apart the boundless sky!
Single-handedly invading Marineford,
Alone, he stepped onto Marineford with an aura swallowing ten thousand miles, fighting fiercely with Garp and Sengoku, sweeping across heaven and earth, nearly destroying Marine Headquarters!
Memories of the past impacted his soul like a tsunami, battle intent and pride erupting like a volcano instantly!
"THIS IS—MY ERA!!!"
"BOOM—!!!"
A majestic wave of Conqueror's Haki expanded suddenly like a hurricane. The violent airwave tore apart the sea of clouds and shattered the void instantly!
Between heaven and earth, Haki surged, and the wind and clouds changed color!
Roy's gaze sharpened, and a smile of extreme excitement rose on his lips. Immediately, he unleashed his own Conqueror's Haki without retreating—
"RUMBLE-RUMBLE—!!!"
Two powerful overlord auras crashed head-on, vibrating visible black-red lightning. In an instant, wind and clouds howled, cloud layers shattered, the earth roared and trembled, and the entire floating island shook violently!
Two overlords of their eras, a cross-generational ultimate collision, fully erupted now!!!
On the floating island, gales raged, dark clouds churned!
Just as the two waves of Conqueror's Haki clashed fiercely at ten thousand meters, the entire island trembled with them!
"BOOM—!!!"
An airwave wrapped in black-red lightning swept down, enveloping the entire battlefield like apocalyptic heavenly might!
Smoker looked up abruptly, eyes horrified, pupils contracting violently!
"This oppressive feeling of Conqueror's Haki... what the hell is that guy Roy doing?! Is he trying to tear the whole sky apart?!!"
Zoro and Kuina stood on the left and right at the front of the deck, their bodies trembling slightly under the pressure of the terrifying aura!
Zoro gritted his teeth hard, veins popping on his forehead, sweat rolling down constantly, yet he grinned excitedly:
"Is this... the aura of a top-tier powerhouse..."
"Damn it... one day, I will reach that level too!!!"
Kuina gripped her sword hilt, knuckles white. "Just resisting is already this difficult... but Big Brother Roy can face that kind of monster head-on..."
"We are still far from enough..."
Usopp's face was pale. He had long fallen to his knees, cold sweat dripping from his chin, teeth chattering uncontrollably:
"Are... are you kidding me..."
"Just the aura clash from ten thousand meters away... makes it impossible to move?!!"
Sanji forced himself to stand, teetering, the cigarette in his mouth bitten in half long ago. "This level of battle... we..."
"Can't intervene at all..."
Smoker acted decisively, white smoke erupting to envelop the entire warship instantly!
Thick smoke quickly formed a flexible yet indestructible airflow barrier, instantly protecting all the unconscious Marines within, isolating part of the Haki impact.
But Smoker was still full of anxiety, roaring: "ROY—!!!"
High in the sky, Roy, who was contending for aura supremacy with Shiki, glanced sideways slightly, raising an eyebrow, understanding his intention instantly.
"Beautifully done, Smoker."
He waved his left hand lightly, spatial power spreading rapidly from his fingertips—
"SWISH—!"
The next moment, the entire warship, along with all Marine personnel on deck, vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye!
Teleported by Roy to the safe sea area below, completely out of the battle's blast radius!
Roy retracted his gaze, looking back at Shiki opposite him.
Shiki at this moment looked completely renewed.
He hovered in the sky at ten thousand meters, golden long hair dancing wildly in the gale, like a lion king's mane flying freely!
Eyes scarlet, pupils vertical, battle intent soaring to the heavens!
"Oto" and "Kogarashi" were firmly gripped in his hands. On the blades, black-red Conqueror's Haki wrapped like flames, the air torn and wailing repeatedly!
"JIHAHAHAHA!!! ROY... YOU BASTARD BRAT, YOU ACTUALLY DARED TO DO THIS!!!"
"THE CURRENT ME—IS THE COMPLETE GOLDEN LION!!!"
He grinned hideously, killing intent surging like waves: "READY TO WELCOME... TRUE HELL?!!"
Roy said nothing, only slowly assumed a punching stance.
On his right arm, Armament Haki covered it quickly like ink. Intense Conqueror's Haki also rose and intertwined. Where the fist pointed, space trembled!
"BRING IT—!!!"
