Chapter 72
Vilin's severed palms quickly regenerated.
Though his body shrank slightly.
Golden Lion Shiki saw his attack caused no substantial damage to Vilin.
This made the fighting spirit in his eyes burn even hotter.
At this moment,
Golden Lion Shiki's eyes seemed to have golden flames dancing within.
Continuous Slash Wave!
Golden Lion Shiki's golden hair whipped wildly.
Massive golden slashes flew toward Vilin like a storm.
Vilin saw dozens of highly lethal golden slashes coming at him.
He immediately covered the eight massive arms behind him in Armament Haki.
Giant Spirit Fist – Infinite Barrage!
As Golden Lion Shiki's slashes reached Vilin,
Vilin swung his eight arms, continuously colliding with the incoming slashes.
Sparks constantly exploded on Vilin's fists.
Leaving sword marks several meters deep on his fists.
Vilin looked at the wounds on his fists.
He couldn't help frowning.
Vilin began carefully sensing the changes in his palms.
"This is the internal destruction technique of Armament Haki!"
Although he felt the opponent's attacks, he couldn't grasp the method at all.
Golden Lion Shiki continuously swung the two long swords in his hands.
His Observation Haki had long locked onto Vilin.
Soon Golden Lion discovered Vilin seemed to be studying his attacks.
This made the arrogant Shiki unable to tolerate it.
"Die for me!"
"Open!"
"Lion's Might – Thousand Slice Valley!"
With Shiki's eruption,
countless slashes even more condensed than before instantly arrived in front of Vilin.
Vilin felt the indestructible will emanating from the sword energy.
His expression instantly became grave.
Vilin drew the wooden long sword at his waist, instantly wrapping it in pitch-black Armament Haki.
He gripped the sword with both hands and concentrated all his body's power at the tip using the giants' unique technique.
In an instant,
Vilin swung his long sword in a horizontal sweep toward Shiki.
"Elbaf Spear – Hegemony!"
In an instant,
a domineering spear light streaked across the sky.
It directly collided with Shiki's attacks.
In just one breath,
the massive spear light crushed and shattered all the slashes Golden Lion Shiki had sent with an unstoppable momentum.
Shiki, standing on the ground, saw this scene.
His eyes instantly filled with blood.
His whole body became utterly crazed.
All the pirates present were also shocked by Vilin's powerful attack.
In an instant,
wherever the spear light passed,
all the ground turned to rubble.
Though the spear light had dimmed somewhat, it still firmly charged toward Shiki.
Golden Lion Shiki could only continuously swing his long swords to block.
Massive golden slashes constantly collided with Hegemony's spear light.
Continuously consuming the power of Vilin's strike.
At this moment,
the Aitrias Pirates crew, the Rocks Pirates crew, and the strongest fighters of the Rocks Pirates on the viewing platform all stood up.
Their eyes were full of shock.
No one expected Vilin's strength to be so terrifying.
They were very familiar with Shiki's power.
Even the current Edward Newgate was not Golden Lion Shiki's opponent.
Soon Vilin's spear light was consumed completely.
But by now Golden Lion Shiki was also panting heavily from exhaustion.
Vilin, after releasing this strike,
his figure also rapidly shrank.
It stopped when he reached ten meters tall.
The others, seeing this, breathed sighs of relief.
If Vilin's ability had no weaknesses, everyone would want a Logia Devil Fruit.
Edward Newgate saw Shiki's stamina greatly depleted.
He immediately swung Murakumogiri.
Gathering all his Haki,
he concentrated his full power into this slash.
Spinning the naginata, he charged toward Vilin.
Arriving close, he slashed down.
Seeing this, Vilin raised his sword to block.
Crack!
Vilin's long sword directly snapped.
Vilin looked at the broken sword in his hand with some helplessness.
"Internal destruction Armament Haki again!"
Seeing this, Vilin directly discarded the broken sword.
He swung the fists behind him, covered in Armament Haki, continuously punching toward Newgate.
"Good!"
Seeing Vilin's attacks,
Edward Newgate's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
He continuously swung Murakonogiri, knocking Vilin's fists away.
Leaving cracks on Vilin's fists.
Vilin felt his stamina continuously depleting.
He also felt somewhat tired.
Although he could absorb sunlight and earth power, it couldn't keep up with his consumption rate.
Vilin was even thinking of running away.
I'm not going to have to fight each one of them, am I?
Just as Vilin prepared to escape,
Rocks finally spoke.
"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!"
"Aitrias Vilin!"
"I acknowledge your strength!"
"Welcome to the Rocks Pirates!"
Edward Newgate also sheathed his naginata.
His eyes showed a hint of regret.
But he quickly returned to his usual self, letting out bold laughter.
"Gurararara!"
"Welcome to the Rocks Pirates!"
Wang Zhi and Silver Axe, after seeing Vilin's strength, said nothing.
They had already acknowledged Vilin's power.
John was drinking wine with an indifferent expression.
Gloriosa, seeing Vilin fight consecutively against Shiki and Newgate without taking any damage,
strange light appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Rocks saw all the executives had no objections.
He then let out waves of laughter.
"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!"
"Welcome to becoming the seventh division captain of the Rocks Pirates!"
Vilin saw all the Rocks Pirates executives had no dissent.
He then rapidly shrank back to his original size.
When others saw Vilin's clothes were the same as when he arrived,
they realized Vilin had been holding back.
Everyone's eyes showed wariness.
They also understood Vilin's strength.
Absolute top-tier Vice Admiral level, even approaching quasi-Admiral.
Even against an Admiral, he could escape.
The current Rocks Pirates weren't as strong as later.
Only Newgate, Shiki, and Vilin were at the same level.
The other captains were elite Vice Admiral level.
No one had reached Admiral level.
Only Rocks had reached quasi-Admiral level, and he had mastered a rudimentary Conqueror's Haki entanglement.
Though it was very rudimentary.
If Vilin and the seven joined forces against Navy Admiral Kong,
even a powerful Admiral couldn't gain the upper hand.
On the Flying Bird,
Shakky stared blankly at Vilin's tall figure.
Her eyes were full of love.
Seeing the battle had ended,
Shakky reminded the crew members who had fallen into infatuation.
Aelria heard Shakky's reminder.
She then steered the Flying Bird toward Beehive Island's port.
Beehive Island.
"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!"
"Little ones, hold a grand welcome banquet for our seventh division captain!"
