Chapter 378 Breaking Through
With his shout, Aini's body began to move rapidly. His feet rose with lightning speed, and then he unleashed a series of powerful kicks into the sky.
These storm kicks streaked through the air like bolts of lightning slicing through the night. When they collided with the oncoming clods of earth, they instantly triggered a spectacular explosion.
Each of the storm kicks exploded in mid-air, transforming into countless raindrops of special slashes that scattered like petals from a celestial maiden. These special slashes covered an extremely wide area, like a giant net enveloping the entire region.
Behold these special slashes; though their momentum resembles fine rain, their power is extraordinary. Within their attack range, all the incoming clods of earth are easily shattered like clay chickens and earthenware dogs, turning into dust that flutters down in all directions.
"Huh?" However, at that moment, Enni's Observation Haki suddenly detected something unusual. He was shocked to find that the Golden Lion was no longer on the island floating in the air, but had quietly moved to below the island, and was even closer to the sea surface.
"What is this?" Upon seeing this, Aini's heart tightened. He quickly flew up from the island, stood on a high place, and looked down at the golden lion below, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
However, in a moment, he suddenly realized. He remembered that the Golden Lion had an extremely powerful move, and the Golden Lion's current actions were clearly related to this move.
"Oh no!" Aini's heart tightened, and his expression changed slightly. His intuition told him that things might be heading in a bad direction.
Just as Aini had feared, Golden Lion's actions completely confirmed his suspicions. The moment Aini left the island, Golden Lion could no longer suppress the smile on his lips, a sly glint in his eyes, clearly waiting for this perfect opportunity.
"Lion's Might - Imperial Palace Scroll!" Golden Lion roared, his voice booming through the air like thunder. Then, using the power of the Float-Float Fruit, he manipulated the surrounding blizzard, creating a giant blizzard in the shape of a lion's head.
The lion-head-shaped blizzard, baring its fangs and claws, lunged menacingly at Aini, as if to devour him whole. Its ferocious power and hideous appearance sent chills down one's spine.
"Huh!" Faced with this sudden attack, Aini couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He had originally thought that the Golden Lion would use other moves, but he didn't expect it to be such a ferocious attack.
However, despite his surprise, Aini's reaction speed was extraordinary. With a backhand swing, his weapon unleashed a terrifying slash.
This slash tore through the sky like lightning, carrying unparalleled power. Wherever it passed, whether air or other objects, it was easily cleaved in two.
Even the lion-head-shaped blizzard of the Golden Lion was no exception. Faced with Aini's terrifying slash, it was as fragile as paper and was instantly torn into countless pieces.
Then, this power poured down like a blanket of snow. "Lion's Might - Water Scroll!" With the golden lion's roar, his attack finally revealed its true form.
However, Golden Lion's strength was clearly far more than that; his previous attack, "Lion's Might - Imperial Palace Roll!", was merely a feint. This move, "Lion's Might - Water Roll!", was his true killing blow!
Under the powerful influence of the Golden Lion, the surrounding seawater seemed to be under a spell, rapidly gathering into a huge water mountain, like a mobile fortress, tightly enveloping the enemy.
For Devil Fruit users, this move is extremely deadly. Because seawater has a natural restraining effect on all Devil Fruit users, once trapped by this massive water mountain, they will face immense pain and danger.
And Aini was no exception! Just now, that move "Lion's Might - Water Roll!" turned into snowflakes, which not only brought a strong visual impact, but also seriously obstructed people's vision.
When the massive water mountain suddenly appeared in Aini's field of vision, he was shocked to realize the power of this move. At this moment, the water mountain was less than ten meters away from Aini, such a close distance that Aini had no time to make an effective response.
"Holy crap!" Aini couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, inwardly groaning. He had to admit that the Golden Lion's move was absolutely brilliant; if it had been anyone else, they would probably be dead by that attack.
However, unexpectedly, he was no ordinary person. In the next instant, Aini's body underwent an astonishing transformation; in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a gigantic dragon hundreds of meters long!
The dragon was enormous, its scales shimmering with a dazzling light, each one as hard as steel. Its whiskers danced, its claws were sharp, and it exuded unparalleled majesty.
Aini opened his mouth, and the fire element within rapidly converged like a raging torrent. This fire element churned and compressed within his throat, eventually condensing into a massive fireball.
Just as the water sphere was about to hit Aini, the fireball in his mouth suddenly erupted like a volcano, transforming into a blazing pillar of fire. This pillar of fire was as swift as lightning, carrying boundless power, and shot straight towards the water sphere.
The pillar of fire and the water sphere collided violently in mid-air, producing a deafening roar. The water sphere shattered instantly under the impact of the fire pillar, turning into countless droplets that scattered in all directions. However, this was not the end. The high temperature of the fire pillar not only completely evaporated the water sphere but also scorched the surrounding air, creating a vast expanse of white steam.
The scene was so breathtaking that the Golden Lion was momentarily stunned when he saw Aini transform into a giant dragon and unleash such terrifying dragonfire. His eyes widened as he stared in astonishment at the dragon before him, a profound and indescribable shock washing over him.
Golden Lion had seen Kaido in his dragon form before, but compared to the dragon before him, Kaido's dragon was clearly inferior. This dragon was not only much larger, but the aura it exuded was also terrifying.
More importantly, a ring of golden-black flames encircled the dragon's head. These flames burned fiercely, as if they were the fire of its soul, and were also one of the characteristics of the awakening of Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
It's worth noting that even Kaido, known as the King of Beasts, hasn't developed his Zoan-type Devil Fruit to the awakened level.
This guy in front of me has actually developed to the point of awakening; it's simply unbelievable.
