Chapter 375 It's such a waste to give you this fruit.
Immediately afterward, under the menacing gaze of Enina, the Golden Lion casually tossed aside the corpse of the tyrannical King Avaro Pizarro without batting an eye, as if it were a worthless object.
Then, looking at the Golden Lion, he said with a hint of disdain, "Golden Lion, you are old and crippled. You should hide away and eke out a living instead of coming out to offer yourself up for death."
That's absolutely true! Look at the Golden Lion now; he's a truly pitiful sight. His once long, golden hair, like a lion's mane, is now awkwardly stuck on top of his head by a huge ship's rudder, as if it's been used as some kind of comical decoration. Not only that, his sideburns and beard are also golden, their long hair flying wildly in the wind, creating a bizarre contrast with the jarring ship's rudder.
The ship's rudder was deeply embedded in the golden lion's head, as if it had become one with his skull. Removing it would likely pose a great threat to his life. When he looked at himself in the mirror, he probably felt like a rooster being mocked, rather than the majestic golden lion.
Worse still, the rudder was driven so deep that it had become a fatal weakness for the Golden Lion. A slight increase in force on the rudder could easily smash his head open. Or, if someone grabbed the rudder and yanked it out, the Golden Lion would likely die instantly. This glaring flaw was his Achilles' heel!
Most importantly, this was a fatal flaw! In a duel between equally skilled opponents, even the slightest flaw could have disastrous consequences. This flaw was so enormous that it practically exposed his vital point to his opponent. Therefore, in this situation, the probability of being killed far outweighed the possibility of victory.
Let's continue. The Golden Lion is dressed in traditional Japanese attire, its orange and yellow stripes gleaming brightly in the sunlight, giving him a vibrant and energetic appearance. However, as we move our gaze further down, we discover a shocking fact—his feet are actually two famous swords: "Sakura Ju" and "Kureki"!
It turns out that this was an extreme measure he took during his prison break. To escape the confines of prison, he resolutely cut off his own legs and then attached the two famous swords to his legs to replace his missing limbs. While this act is astonishing, it also reflects his yearning for freedom and his tenacity for life.
However, the cost is undoubtedly enormous. First, his legs are crippled, which will not only cause great inconvenience to his daily life, but more importantly, his strength will inevitably be severely affected. After all, legs are an important support and source of power for the human body; without them, his agility and mobility in combat will be greatly reduced.
Secondly, even if he were a great swordsman, the difference between wielding a sword with both hands and with his "legs" is undeniable. When wielding a sword with both hands, he could fully utilize his skills and strength, while wielding a sword with his "legs" required readjustment and adaptation, which would undoubtedly reduce his swordsmanship prowess.
In conclusion, the Golden Lion is now practically a "crippled" man. Not only is he physically disabled and his strength greatly diminished, but his swordsmanship is also far inferior to what it once was. So, how much of his former strength does this aged, disabled, and greatly weakened Golden Lion retain? Perhaps only he himself knows the answer to that question.
Add to that fatal weakness on his head, haha! All things considered, this guy's strength is no more than that of a candidate for admiral. With such strength, how dare he be so arrogant in front of him? He's simply courting death! But it's fine, he just happened to have his eye on Golden Lion's ability.
This is the Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit! Those who possess this fruit's power can defy gravity and fly freely through the air. Not only that, they can also manipulate inanimate objects they touch, making them float as well. Even more impressively, they can even keep dozens of islands floating high in the sky year-round!
This ability is so powerful, it's practically defying the heavens! People have always said that the Tremor-Tremor Fruit of the Whitebeard Pirates has the power to destroy the world, but in his opinion, Shiki's ability is truly invincible!
If he were the Golden Lion, he probably would have used this ability to destroy the World Government and establish a completely new one. After all, if he can keep dozens of islands floating in the sky year-round, moving ten islands above the Holy Land would be a piece of cake for him!
The fact that over a dozen small islands crashed down from the sky is an absolutely insane act beyond imagination! These islands are no ordinary rocks; their size and weight are enormous, far exceeding that of the Yixiao meteorite. Keep in mind that even the largest Yixiao meteorite was only a few kilometers long, while the scale of these islands is immeasurable.
Such an attack would be difficult even for a deity to withstand. Although the Holy Land is teeming with powerful individuals, they would likely be unable to escape such a terrifying attack. Even if not all would perish, the number of survivors would be extremely limited, perhaps countable on one hand.
Next, this overwhelming power can be used to coerce all forces into besieging the surviving strongmen in these holy lands. Neither Charlotte Linlin nor Kaido of the Beasts can escape such a threat. If they dare to refuse, then just throw a dozen more small islands at them and see if their territories can withstand such an overwhelming attack.
Not only that, but they also had to travel to each kingdom to convey the same message: either join him in attacking the entire World Government, or wait to be hit by a small island and die instantly. Such a threat was undoubtedly extremely severe, and no kingdom dared to ignore it easily.
Finally, make one last trip to Marine Headquarters to put some pressure on them. After all, Marine Headquarters is a force to be reckoned with. If we can get them to join the siege of the World Government, the chances of winning this war will greatly increase.
With the Holy Land destroyed and only a handful of Celestial Dragons remaining, and the entire center of world power destroyed, what will the Navy choose?
Choose to defend against the dozen or so small islands that the golden lion is smashing down on.
Or should they choose to submit to Shiki and join forces to attack the World Government, which is now merely a shell of its former self, and the Celestial Dragons, who are destined to collapse?
